ULTIMATE Fixes & SOLUTIONS to ALL iTunes crashes, slow launches on PC 2023/2024

Hello.



Since several years i use Apple devices, from end 2009 iPhone 3G to new

iPhones.. but iTunes always given us a hard time with windows or mac...



So yesterday, i decided to fix all iTunes problems, from a 2010 computer

to now a new computer & with a new formatted SSD which i installed

Windows 11 on it.



-> Here are my definitive 2023/2XXX fixes & solutions for all iTunes issues on PC, So HERE WE GO :



......



1) iTunes, iPhones, iPad, MacBooks etc are all made TO WORK !! and it

does work 100% : Apple stuffs, here "iTunes" is a "RAW" program

perfectly coded, just to execute "like a simple APP on Windows", &

it works PERFECT !! All Right ? Okay !



2) if you got crashes & errors messages while launching iTunes on

Windows, iTunes not bugs !! So you have probably a virus or malware that

infected your system.



it's easy to solve and clean,



download the "Adlice RogueKiller" on their website, official website, and clean your PC. (or Use Kaspersky Free !!)



3) if iTunes crashes when you connect an iPhone & you click top-left

the iPhone icon when it's plugged ? there is 99,9% chance that your

Windows User profile/account is CORRUPTED : Badly, there are no fixes

for a Windows User account corrupted. -> you got to make a new user

account, setting it ADMINISTRATOR (account type), then you will copy all

your documents, images, saves, etc to the new user account not

corrupted. The pc will run okay. Corrupted user account can happens

mostly when you use same computer for many years.



4) iTunes is taking 5 minutes or more instead of 2-3s to launch after you import your large music collection you just imported ?



Go in Windows settings > Applications > look iTunes, and click the

optional 3-vertical-dots" (...) button, to uninstall iTunes. Then go to

Windows Microsoft Store, and click INSTALL (again) on iTunes APP.



you doesn't need anymore itunes setup from Apple website : the Microsoft

Store version works flawless & will auto-update with your system.



So, after reinstall, iTunes loads back again in less than 5s, & your library is still up & working !!



5) you really not need to run iTunes in compatibility modes like "Run in

Admin", or "run in windows 7/8" mode !! iTunes should work AS NORMAL.



6) if you still got pbs ? or if iTunes is long to load coz your library

is large, check the (4)... but normally it runs perfectly !!



7) to run iTunes in safemode, HOLD CTRL + SHIFT keys then click launch iTunes... but it's useless...



8) press & hold SHIFT key then click/launch iTunes > it will ask

"locate your library" or make a "new library" > if for any reason

your library is corrupted ? backup your medias in the folder (backup

music, videos, photos etc...), delete your "/music/iTunes" folder, &

make a new library called "iTunes" in your *user*/music folder...



9) if iTunes freezes when clicking a video ? be sure to use only one

screen (unlike youtubeurs & streamers...), or if you got a laptop

PC, check the graphics settings. (as Laptops got 2 graphics cards, one

for windows desktop generally Intel, & the other for accelerated/3D

apps/games like Nvidia/AMD graphic card..)



..........



All should work PERFECTLY !!!



Glad to help, ;-p
