Windows keeps shutting down iTunes because of Data Execution Prevention. is there a DEP version of iTunes?

My iTunes program keeps shutting down shortly after loading. I get an error from Windows stating that a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Then I get a message that states iTunes was closed because of Data Execution Prevention. It states to find a version that allows DEP or change your DEP settings. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but still have an issue. Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can use iTunes?

Hello, ollieallen.
I am unsure what operating system you are running so I am going to include articles for Windows XP and Vista, 7 and 8. Completely uninstall all components of iTunes and then reinstall the program.

Trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper

trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper ad - after I install what I thought was an update since I already had MacKeeper, it would not allow me to continue without buying the new one. Make a long story short I switch to Firefox and deleted as much as I could of Safari (files, preferences etc) Now I'm at OS Yosemite X 10.10.2 and would like to get Safari up and running again - I've searched for Adware in applications etc but could not find it. Found what to do from the community, but before I go that route...Do I have to know where or if I actually have this spyware?    And if I were to reinstall Maveric - would my files and such be undisturbed? so that only Safari would be replaced?    I"M LOST .... (as if you couldn't tell)
I've been working with Mac for 30 years or more and although I'm hands on taught the only thing I lack is the newer "buzz words" so if you can help me out - please make it simple ?? thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

please help! i am at a loss here.
thank you, movie lady

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is Windows "protecting you from yourself".

The options to disable it are there... but "only if you trust yourself not to blow up the whole Internet" (sarcasm).

Windows keeps shutting down itunes because of DEP

When I try to upgrade to the new version of iTunes, the installation fails. Now the old version (10.4.0.80) won't work. Windows shuts it down siting it is because of the data execution prevention. I've tried disabling DEP for iTunes, but it makes no difference. I can't uninstall or update iTunes because windows says it can't find an installation file itunes.msi.

First, plug off your iPod.
Then uninstall iTunes + all of Apple services (google them).
Restart the PC.
Install iTunes.
If that doesn't help, try this:

You should consider moving to Windows 7.

Updated latest version of itunes onto windows xp.Can't open it.The Data Execution Prevention window comes up.I have followed all the directions of changing the settings.I have updated Quicktime.Still can't open it.

I updated the latest version of itunes onto my pc (windows xp) and all of a sudden I can't open it up. Everytime I try to open it I get a window that says: "Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows...To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program. Change settings." I have tried to change the settings. Uninstalled & reinstalled itunes. Updated the lates version of quicktime. Nothing has helped. If there is anyone who has a suggestion I would appreciate it. I am at my wits end with this. Thank you in advance for all your suggestions.

If anyone is looking at this and would like to know what I did to finally get it to work, I did the following: I right click on the itunes icon on my desktop.......clicked on "run as"........made sure that it ran as administrator. This finally worked for me. Hope you all find this info helpful.

Itunes error. the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat.

I have a windows Xp computer. and i needed to download the newest itunes to support my ipod touch. but now my computer doesn't let me open itunes. The the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention (DEP) helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat." I tried excluding itunes from DEP on settings but it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do. please help me!!!
thanks

try to select the computer cd/dvd autorun off.
I had the same problem, then Kaspersky software found a conflict suggesting me this solution.
Itunes now works...even if it always asks to set the cd/dvd autorun on when lunched.

I cant transfer purchases to a playlist because of data execution prevention the programme closes

I am trying to transfer itune purchases from my library to a new playlist. Every time I click on a track I get an error message "Data Execution Prevention" and the programme closes.

UPDATE:
I figured out how to find previous purchases (That tutorial is for a mac. I have a pc) Now it only gives me the option to download via iCloud. I do not want to do that because that just another headache waiting to happen.
UPDATE 2:
My mistake, it doesnt give the option to download via iCLoud. It just says they are already downloaded to my computer, which is BS because it never worked in the first place. So is there any way to tell itunes to "check again" to see if the music in question is, in fact, on my computer?

Unable to open Itunes in Vista - data execution prevention (DEP)

I'm unable to open itunes on my computer. I can install it but not open it. It says that the data execution prevention has stopped the running of the program. I have tried to change the settings of the data execution program, but it will not allow me to accept itunes - as it says that DEP has to be activated for itunes and cannot be deactivated. What do I do?

One temporary solution is to run itunes through XP rather than vista.
To do this go to the program icon (makes sure its not a shortcut, and the actual program icon, you can find this in your program files if its on on your desktop)
sideclick on the icon
go to properties
compatibility tab
check Windows XP service pack 2
tell it to apply
This should allow you to use itunes

Can't open itunes due to data execution prevention error

I am currently unable to open itunes due to a data execution prevention error. I have tried to clear temp files, uninstall and reinstall and nothing seems to work. I tried to disable DEP for itunes but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me?

Try the following, one at a time:
1. First Repair QuickTime. START/CONTROL PANEL/ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS/highlight QUICKTIME, click REMOVE, then select REPAIR.
Now test your itunes and see if you still have this problem
2. If you have Codec installed, please uninstall it and test out your iTunes.
3. If all that fail, scan your system for possible Windows system file corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator" (for Win XP-just click command prompt)
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
Open iTunes and see if problem resolved.
