Why is the latest version of iTunes crashing on Windows 8.1?
The latest version crashes when connecting to the iTunes store, is there a fix for this? I'm using Windows 8.1 on my PC.
You are not having my exact same problem, but try this:
1. Browse to "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming" in Windows Explorer.
2. Rename the "Apple Computer" folder to "Apple Computer-old".
3. Start iTunes
4. Close iTunes
5. Copy the file "iTunesPrefs.xml" from "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
6. Paste the old "iTunesPrefs.xml" into the new "Apple Computer\iTunes" folder iTunes just created (not the one you renamed) under "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
7. Overwrite the new iTunesPrefs.xml with your old copy of the file.
If you don't care about losing your iTunes preferences then you can just do step 2. You can always go back and grab things from the old folder later if you realize you wanted to have your EQ settings, individual track gains, etc...

CTRL-click the little art to the left of the progress bar. That makes it big.
Right-click the big art and you will get some options to adjust how big!
Or just drag the corners/edges like a regular window. -
I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly." When I then tried to run iTunes (assuming that, since the new install failed, my older version was still OK) I got the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114". I tried then uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it fresh, but encountered the same problems. Help!

I can't connect to the itunes store. I have the latest version of itunes on my windows 7 computer. I can connect to itunes from my ipad and ipod but no my windows computer. i dont get any error message, the bar at the top just says accessing itunes
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I just installed the latest version of iTunes on my windows 8 computer. I was trying to transfer an audiobook I downloaded through overdrive media console to my iPod nano. Overdrive says it was transferred successfully, but it is not in my iPod. I have had no problems transferring audiobooks until I downloaded this new version. Help!
I just realized that part of my post got cut off. There was a message that i could not connect to the Apple store (and my genius stopped running).

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..
The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.) -
When I try to install the latest version of ITunes on My windows computer, it doesn't install. It says log in as administrator (which I am). Any fixes?
What didn't work? Removing everything or just the older version of Bonjour? Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided above to walk you through the process?
Perhaps it would be a better idea to post this in the iTunes forums, since it is an issue with iTunes and your iPod Shuffle.

I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now my computer does not recognize my ipod nano. How do I fix this?

I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on my laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error. Am not having any problem installing other software or syncing w iPhone. Made the mistake today of uninstalling my older version and not cannot install new. Need new version in order to sync w new iPad.
Any help would be appreciated.Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

Why is the latest version of Itunes causing my firefox 9 to crash?
My firefox 9, which i love btw, started randomly crashing on me very often. I read in a thread online that ppl have fixed this problem by ininstalling Quicktunes or Itunes. I did just that (uninstalled the latest Itunes update version 10.5.02) and my firefox stopped crashing. I don't like Itunes as it is, only use it because i have ipod, but the latest version seems to have glitches or flaws or smth. Going back to the older version.

Why does the latest version of firefox crash on my windows 7 64 bit system? in English
I've used Firefox forever, swear by it. The past few times I've installed the latest version, my computer comes to a SLOW crawl and CRASHES repeatably. I uninstall and re-install 3.6.24 and every thing works fine. I constantly get reminders that I'm using the older version and to update. I refuse to because it turns my system into a glorified paper weight. Any idea why this might happen?
Sorry I didn't get a crash report. My computer would just come to a complete stand still. No reports, nothing. I've installed it at lease three times now, and each time it does the same thing. I have to do a hard reboot, uninstall and re-install the 3.6.24 version and it works fine. I posted the question to see if anyone else has experience the same problems. I could try it again to see if I get a crash report. I would have to do this over the weekend as I use this computer for my business.
I appreciate your response and sorry I didn't have a report for you. I'll keep you informed as to what takes place when I try to re-install.
Thanks again -
Why does the updated version of iTunes crash when trying to watch TV shows I bought?
Hi,
just yesterday, I got a notice informing me that there was a new version of iTunes ready to be downloaded. I went ahead and downloaded it and everything seemed to work fine until I tried watching a TV show I already had on there. Every time I would try to start an episode of one of the TV shows, iTunes would crash and shut down. I've never had an issue before, why now after this update? Can someone give me a reason as to why this might be happening and if I can possibly fix it?
Thanks,
VictoriaI just found out from another post on how you can fix the issue. Open QuickTime Player on your computer and go to Edit >> Preferences >> QuickTime Preferences. Once your in QuickTime Preferences, click on the "Advanced" tab then uncheck the box that says "Enable Direct3D video acceleration". I tried this and it seemed to solve my problem. Hope it works for you!
