Windows7 issue... "ITunes has stopped working"
I have tried everything the support page recommends without success. Including the removal of all add-ons which is suppose to be the culprit. I've removed Bonjour and ITunes launched but locked-up while accessing ITunes Store. Here is what I recorded... Any help is most appreciated.

User issue-- "itunes has stopped working"
This week I have been unable to access iTunes, instead receiving the following error message: "iTunes has stopped working."
I have reviewed earlier discussions, especially this recent one:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1464059&tstart=15
I have tried most of the suggestions, but I have run into a few roadblocks that I wanted to see if I could get some help with. But before all of that, I wanted to note that I created a new user account and was able to access iTunes that way. Unfortunately, however, this is not a good long term solution. I would like to try to resolve whatever issue exists with my user account.
With respect to the potential solutions identified in the earlier post:
*“Completely Remove iTunes and Quicktime”*
#17—no such files existed in my windows\\system32 folder.
*“Empty your Temp directory and restart”*
I got the following error message :The action cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program. Close the folder and try again. I thought that I had closed all of the applications.
*“Clean Up iTunes installer files on the computer”*
When you click on the link under this suggestion, you get a warning from Windows not to use this utility with 2007 Office system products, which are what I have.
*“Download Quicktime Standalone Installer”*
I have no interest in Quicktime and only have it because it is apparently bundled with iTunes. Still, I tried this and it did not fix the problem. (BTW, Quicktime still works fine.)
*“Disable other conflicting software”*
I used MSCONFIG to try to troubleshoot conflicts. First, the instructions in article 305415 indicate that the following two items will be under the "startup" tab: "iTunesHelper" and "qttask." These were not listed. Second, when I clicked the "services" tab and selected "hide all microsoft services," there were 25 items still listed, which seems not right to me. I did not proceed here because I was concerned about causing some disaster.
If anyone has any insight here and would be willing to share it, I would greatly appreciate it!
PS--is there a way to copy and paste the list of startup programs so that I can print them and review them one by one? Thanks!+But before all of that, I wanted to note that I created a new user account and was able to access iTunes that way.+
Up until now you've been working through techniques for troubleshooting System-wide problems. But that fact you relate about the user accounts indicates that you've got a user-account-specific problem, and the troubleshooting techniques are different for those.
In your normal user account, try the techniques listed under "User-specific Troubleshooting" in the following document:

Itunes has stopped working (Win 7 64 bit)
I keep getting this when I try to sync my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4. It gets all the way through the sync to photos and then I get this issue:
iTunes has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.
I have run all updates I can think of and rebooted several times.
I have checked QuickTime and all seems fine with it.
I have unchecked the photos and doesn't seem to make a difference.
Ideas???

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes has stopped working ...Running Windows 7(64)
I upgraded my home PC Desktop to Windows 7 earlier this year and had no trouble bringing over iTunes from my previous platform (Windows XP).
I recently returned home to the US from a work assignment out of the country and because my iTunes resides on my home PC desktop, I didn't open up iTunes for the past 6 weeks. During this time Apple released iTunes 10.5. When I returned home, the old version of iTunes was still working. However, when I upgraded to iTunes 10.5, iTunes stopped working. The error message: "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have worked through the following knowlege bulletins (nothing has fixed my problem):
(a)" iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues"
(b) "iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins"
(c) "iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio"
(d) "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows vista or Windows 7"
(e) "iTunes for Windows: system restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store"
the last bulletin (e), recommended ensuring that my drivers were up-to-date. So I also updated my drivers.
Lastly, I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support (although my problem isn't with the store, it is upgraded iTunes running on windows 7). They told me the issue was "outside (their) expertise" and recommended I look at this discussion board.

PS - someone recommended uninstalling Apple Quick Time Player. I don't have Quick Time Player.I had the same problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. This solution only partially worked for me. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store.
The following solution worked for me:
COPY QTMovieWin.dll
FROM c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
INTO c:\program files (x86)/iTunes -
Hi,
I have a PC running Windows 7 - 64bit OS. I have had iTunes installed since the beginning of the year on this computer and have not had any trouble with it except actually using iTunes but that is a different issue. The other day I inadvertently downloaded "Tuneup" which I don't want or need. I firstly want to say I have no concrete evidence that Tuneup has led to my problems. It may be coincidental that Tuneup and my problems appeared together.
Tonight when I started iTunes, Tuneup took over a quarter of the screen on the right side. I closed this program. When the list of tracks was ready to be loaded from the CD and I went to" file" - "get info" option the message "iTunes has stopped working" would appear. Closing this message resulted in iTunes shutting down. I should say that before I closed the message the computer had essentially ground to a halt. The other curious thing was the behavour of the mouse pointer on the screen - the only place where it was visible was in the "iTunes has stopped working" box. Moving it out of the message box resulted in it disappearing. It would reappear if it were caused to wander into the message box.
I subsequently removed Tuneup (control panel, programs and features, etc...) iTunes had not improved. I then deleted iTunes, firstly saving the library to a file on the desktop. Then I did a fresh(?) install of ITunes but there seems to be no change. A curious thing was even though I had deleted iTunes through the control panel the library was still there as if I had done nothing. The whole thing is a complete mystery and extremely galling.
If someone has had a similar problem I would really like to know what the fixes were.
Thanks for "listening".
Cheers,
Grant Andrews.I had a similar problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. The following solution worked for me:

Also, reinstalling Quicktime has worked for others having this same issue. -
Every time I try to import a CD I get "iTunes has stopped working"
I updated to the new 9.0.3.15 version of ITunes a couple of weeks back and ever since I have not been able to import CD's?
It seems it works with every else syncing etc but not importing CD's.
Every time I try to import a CD it will start then within a few seconds I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and another message saying Windows is looking for a solution.
I have tried going into Control Panel and Programs and repairing the installation but no luck.
Anyone know how I can fix this.I can see messages for other programs that have had issues but nothing for iTunes.
Hmmmm.
Maybe try provoking the error another two or three times, taking a careful note of the time showing on the PC. Now head back into the Action Center. Is there a problem report for any application or operating system component that appears regularly at the same time as the iTunes errors?
If so, paste a copy of a typical error report for that in a reply. (Fingers crossed that might get us a bit closer to understanding what is afoot.) -
I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working. A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly. What can be the cause?
Hello Main Event,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching iTunes quitting unexpectedly on Windows 7 and feel it will help to resolve the issue here.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
It starts with troubleshooting 3rd party plug ins, then moves on to account troubleshooting if needed.
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-insfor steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
Take care,

I have iPad 2, iPhone 5s, both with iOS 7.1.2. I use PC with Windows 7 and hard wire internet service and iTunes to update apple products; no wi-fi. I updated iTunes to v11.4 on 09/11/14. I ran Windows update on 09/10/14. I did not try to open iTunes on my PC until yesterday 09/16/14. I got the message: "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I got the same message today. Does anyone know if this is a Windows problem and if a solution is coming or an iTunes problem? I can get iTunes on iPad and iPhone. All other programs PC are working correctly. I use Norton Internet Service on PC. I ran virus scans and repair/reinstall iTunes yesterday on PC.

Since Aug '14 MS Patch Tue, iTunes has stopped working
I have 2 instances of iTunes running on 2 different Windows 7 64bit machines. Both are crashing out since the Microsoft patches were installed on Wednesday, 8/13/14. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled completely removing all Apple programs from Control Panel. I rebooted and reinstalled and it is still crashing out with 'iTunes has stopped working' and a prompt to close the program. I have also gone back to a previous restore point before the most recent MS patches. I then uninstalled iTunes, I reinstalled the MS patches, rebooted, and then reinstalled iTunes. This did not resolve the issue.

iTunes64Setup.exe, even after multiple times of uninstalling and reinstalling with even a fresh download crashes with the message:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem [unspecified] caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you IF a solution is available." I cannot get out of this loop and it renders my iPad HD useless. I tried calling the Apple Store but was referred by an automated system to this web site. I tried looking up the problem in the FAQ but it didn't help.
