Why wont itunes work in windows 8

I just bought a new laptop with window 8 installed on it. Itunes wont work on it for some reason.I just downloaded Itunes 11 and it worked one time. i closed it out and now it wont start again. when I start it it says that something caused Itunes to stop working and windows will close the program. I uninstalled  it and installed an earlier version and that worked. How can I get Itunes 11 to work on windows 8?

  • When I try to update to iOS5 i get error 3194 and my itunes is 10.5 so why wont it work?

    when I try to update to iOS5 i get error 3194 and my itunes is 10.5 so why wont it work?

    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Why wont itunes download on my laptop running windows vista, keep getting error message 127, help

    Why wont itunes download on my laptop running on windows vista, keep getting Windows error127, can anyone help please this is driving me insane, tried 9 times already without
    success.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • Does iTunes work with Windows 8?

    Does anyone know iTunes work with Windows 8? I know 10.7 was just realeased and I wondered if it added Windows 8 support or will I have to wait for iTunes 11?
    Windows 8 is not beta anymore, it is RTM although I know a public release isn't until October.
    I just want to know if people have it working or not.
    Many thanks

    I just installed iTunes 10.7 on windows 8.
    I can confirm the issues with iTunes on the windows 8 release preview still exist.
    Meaning that iTunes does work, but some devices cannot be connected nor synced. This seems to be a driver issue.
    For all I know what does work: iPad 1, iPad 2, New iPad, iPhone 4S.
    What does not work: iPhone 4.
    These I know for sure myself, other devices may or may not work, but I didn't try them myself.

  • What version of itunes works with windows 7 64 bit

    What version of itunes works with windows 7 64 bit?  Must I use a beta version of cloud?  I generally don't want to use beta versions of software.

    It should work (many, many people have it working fine) though Windows7 was officially released only 2 days ago and iTunes has not had an update since then.

    i am downloading after effects and its will get to a different spot each time and say retry....... why wont it work!!!!????

    you're probably losing connectivity.
    you can try a different browser and/or a different wired connection and/or a download manager or if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download from prodesigntools.com
    if you need a prodesigntools.com link, which version of ae do you need?

  • Why wont iTunes allow me to copy/sync a song from my iPod?

    Why wont iTunes allow me to copy/sync a song from my iPod? I have a song on my iPod that i want on my laptop to add to my iPhone, but i can't sync it. I did not purchase it via iTunes.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    As the song came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and be included in your regular backup of your computer.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.

  • New computer wqith Windows 7 - Does iTunes work with Windows 7

    I downloaded iTunes 9 and tried to upload my 1st CD and it never got passed a few seconds of upload before it froze up. I tried another CD and the same thing happened. So I uninstalled 9 and tried iTunes 8 because I was more familiar with that. The first CD uploaded the 1st song and then froze up. The song played quite well but I couldn't get passed the 1st song. Does iTunes work with Windows 7? TY in advance.

    No it runs just fine on Win 7 64 bit so your problem isn't that.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and use this : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 to make sure you get all of the old install.
    Make sure you run disk clean up when your done so that there are no temp files around when you try with the fresh install.
    Now, making sure your using the admin account and that you've disabled any security software, try again with the new download
