Q: iTunes 12.0.1 keeps crashing
I updated from iTunes 11.4 to 12.0.1 and couldn't get the new version to run for more than a few minutes without crashing, that is if it would start up completely without crashing.
I had to go back to iTunes 11.4. It seems to be a little bit more stable. I will wait for 12.1 I guess before I try updating again.

I had the same problem. It seems to be network dependent though since iTunes 12.0.1 worked fine when I was at home, but constantly crashed (Data Execution Protection) when I was at work. My workplace uses a proxy firewall which might be messing with the results iTunes Store is returning to iTunes (client). The fact that this results in a crash though indicates that the client isn't checking for valid results from the network before trying to execute it. That's a security flaw.
iTunes 11.4 works fine.
