Q: iTunes has stopped working

I have the most recent vers. of iTunes (10.3.1) and it was working fine yeterday. Today, I went to re-start downloading some video lectures from iTunes U and iTunes crashed. Now everytime I try and open it, I get the error message "iTunes has stopped working" and the only option I have is to close the program. I looked around the Apple suppport site and did everything they recommended. ie: Deleting Temp files, Rebuilding the library, opening a new library, creating a new user....nothing worked. So, I uninstalled iTunes, QT, Bonjour, etc, did a registry clean, re-booted and re-installed everything, ran the Apple Software Update. And nothing, I still can't open iTunes. Any other suggestions??? I am running Windows Vista 32-bit.

    This should work:

    - Make sure iTunes is closed

    - Open Control Panel

    - Click uninstall a program

    - Click once on iTunes

    - Click on 'Repair' at the top

    - Wait for It to do its thing...

    - Fixed (hopefully)

    Ok.

    3 days ago, for no apparent reason my itunes stopped working.

    This only happens after it has "synced" with the itunes store and prepares to upload remaining songs.

     

    NOTHING has changed since then other than downloading latest itunes (11.1...whatever) which i was recommended to do after it stopped working.

     

    I am using windows 7

    Latest itunes version (for windows)

     

    I have thousand of songs in icloud, which were uploading fine until 3 days ago.

     

    Windows message reads something like: Itunes has stopped working properly, windows will now close the programme blah blah balh.

     

    Bit annoyed.  Tried copying the dll file from QT that somebody mentioned earlier. Also tried "repairing" programme and re-downloading update.

     

    Not working still!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!

    Hi Wizard,

     

    This will work for you. Upgrade to the lastest version of itunes 11.1. Restart your pc. Then copy file QTMovieWin.dll from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support

     

    To: C:\program files(X86)\itunes folder

     

    Please copy the file do not move it.

     

    This will work for most of the problems on here.

    Such errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. CoreAudioToolbox.dll is part of Apple Application Support and can normally be found in

    • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support or
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

    where the name of the Program Files folder may vary by region.

     

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

     

    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 performance issues or compatibility with third party software.

     

     

    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
