iTunes has stopped working

Having the same issue. Running Windows Vista. Was on iTunes 10 - but have since downloaded and apparently installed the current version (as of this evening) with no joy.

Won't even open up - just says "iTunes has stopped working" then tells me to install the latest version. Has been doing this for a week now.

Have so far tried: running as administrator; uninstalling Quicktime; uninstalling/re-installing; trying to run it when disconnected from the network; trying to run it with my anti-virus software disabled. No joy at all.

Pretty ****** irritating.

Can I ask how people were getting that detailed error log that lots of you have pasted into your posts? I'll post mine if I can work out how to do so.

EDIT: Stand-down - apparently I hadn't uninstalled "everything" to do with Quicktime. Did so just now, and now it's working again. Grrrrr

Clearly, there appears to be an issue with V11.0.0.163 which has been detailed in other discussions.

I also have been unsuccesful in getting the latest version to run without constantly crashing after over 40 attempts to syncronise my 16k songs on Match without getting the same error "iTunes has stopped working".

I was wondering if there is a time-out issue as I can launch iTunes and have a 'connected' state for approx 5 minutes; or just iTunes 11 doesn't want to run on a Windows platform? Has anyone been sucessful in getting this latest version to work?

Having upgraded to v11.0.0.163, I had to re-authorise both of my PC's, plus re-map the location of my library.

Like many of you, I have uninstalled ALL Apple components , re-installed, started iTunes up in safe mode, disabled AV and stopped iTines match, anything to get this latest version to work - to no avail. It is clear that Apple have done little in the way of thorough testing their BETA (I assume there was one) before this latest release.

Has Apple got a fix? Do they even know what the cause is - who cares, let's just get back to v10.7; at least this was running in fits and starts.

Really, really peeved off and extremely frustrated !

Currently running Windows7 Pro - 64 bit; i7 processor 2.6Ghz; 8Gb Ram; 1TB internal hard drive, 4TB external NAS, plus 39Mb/s broadband: You would think that was enough!!!!

any help would be appreciated

why this f****king problem not solved....

i have same problem and still waiting long long time.....

I just got Windows 7 on my work computer. iTunes worked yesterday, but not today.

I got the APPCRASH message also, and it was in the Quicktime module. Trouble is, yesterday when I tried to do the Apple updates, Quicktime was on the list for an update but I was unable to even get it to download. (I probably have older version/s floating around; my new comp was re-imaged from my old one.)

I actually got iTunes to work today by INSTALLING Quicktime. I had to get it from Filehippo.com instead of Apple to make sure I got the complete app. Worth a try, folks.

I do find it very depressing that no "super-poster" has cleaned up this sad, sad thread with a list of possible fixes for everyone.

Uninstall the quicktime of apple and the problem is solved.

OK. Maybe I wasn't clear. In my case, I could NOT uninstall Quicktime because the most current version wasn't installed to begin with, and was, in fact, uninstallable. (Apple update failed.) That's why I had to first INSTALL Quicktime from someplace other than Apple. Once the correct, current Quicktime version was installed iTunes worked again.

I used Filehippo.com to get the current Quicktime version.

Not sloved......

iTunes 11.0.2. will not play any video (from store or iTunes U) and crashes withot error. Win7 64 bit says:

So Quicktime may be the reason, but uninstalling is not the solution because it is needed for playing video files...

thanks!

I posted this last December in the Apple Support Communities.

I have downgraded to iTunes v 10.7.0.21 (Windows 7 64 bit) as a workaround. I can now connect to the iTunes Store.

The download page for v 10.7.0.21 is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1577.

iTunes Library.itl could not be opened, but this page has a solution that can be easily adapted for Windows:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/fixing_itunes_libraryitl_cannot_be_read_newer_versi on_of_itunes.html

It seems several users have usability issues with iTunes 11 based on the comments in the discussion group, so I do not plan to "upgrade" iTunes for some time.

I tried recently with iTunes 11.0.2.26, but the issue recurs. An exception is thrown in WebKit.dll in Apple Application Support v 2.3.3. Apple QA should resolve this.

Not only to you, but to many it is as simple as removing the QuicktimePlayer, but for some such as myself I did not have it. I installed it and solved the problem. It must depend on your operating system. So check to see if you have QuicktimePlayer and follow through with removing or installing.

Your suggestion does not work for me, but thanks anyway. As stated, I am running a 64-bit version of Windows 7.

An upgrade for iTunes should just involve downloading the latest version and installing it. You should not have to change QuickTime or other software.

Just as a test, I uninstalled the following manually and rebooted: Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour and iTunes. QuickTime was not installed.

iTunes 11.0.2.26 was installed and the iTunes store could not be reached. QuickTime 7.7.3 was installed and again iTunes stopped working when trying to load the iTunes store. The procedure above was followed to downgrade to iTunes 10.7.0.21 and it works again as before.

Hello avidgirl,

I'm not going to lie. You've completely wasted your time.

Often those instructions on how to fix the problem are for the worst case scenerio. I'm guessing you've paniced and have been trying everything as soon as possible. This has most likely overwhelmed the system.

The system probably needs some time. The certain section of iTunes you were on may be under editting, you may have tried to download a very large file, or your computer (or iTunes) could just be acting funky. Dont worsen it by constantly doing things that will need for it to process or load. Just leave it for two days or so then log back on normally. Hopefully it will have fixed itself.

If you are desperate and need to use iTunes now then try to use a friend's account or make a new account for now. If the new account doesn't work then there is something wrong with your computer, not iTunes. Under this circumstance, call in a local professional. He will most likely only be their for a few minutes; the problem is usually a lot less of deal then we make it out to be.

Good Luck! Hope I helped.
