iTunes 10.5.1.42 crashes when accessing Store

Just uninstalled iTunes again with all of its components and got rid of Mozilla off my computer as some forums have been saying its created issues - but to no avail.

Keep posting in here until a representative offers some help - is usually the best way. The more posters, the more likely we are to get a response.

Want to know why its only coming up text, its getting annoying as I want to buy stuff 😟 oh well, too bad apple.

I posted my troubles with Itunes 10.5.1 and here's what I found worked for me. Honestly I'm amazed it worked, but it did for me, its the last post:

I still have my Itunes running, I've been able to sync my Iphone with no problems. The store works perfectly. Again I don't know if it will work for anyone else. Maybe there's an easier way to do this, please let me know. I dread the next update.

Okay I am so gad I am not the only one in this boat! I have tried everything!

As of this morning, I'm having exactly the same problem as well with 10.5.1.42. I'm running Win 7 Professional - 64 bit. Uninstall and reinstall doesn't fix it. Sure hope they have a fix soon. iTunes is now useless to me.

Same issue here.

Win 7 64 bit, and crash half way through access to the Store.

Not been able to find a fix :-(

The only possible temporary fix that worked for me:
Right click on the iTunes icon, (whether that is on the desktop, start menu etc) and press "Run as Administrator" the store should work using this method.

I think you will have to do this EVERY time you want to start up iTunes.

Message to apple: we shouldnt have to continually run the program as a administrator to use key features of a program, especially when we, the customer are wanting to purchase things off your store, also means your losing out on money 😉

Have already tried this, and does NOT work for me

Thank you for the tip. Just tried i... Appears to solve the problem, however agree that it should not be necessary to run iTunes in Admin mode.

I just uninstalled "Speedbit Accelerator", and now I can FINALLY get into the itunes store!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Not only did running as administrator solve my problems with the iTunes store it also allowed me to click on the "Purchased" link in the store without crashing out for the first time in months.

Its definately a problem with the last update. My wife has two computers both 64 bit, one runs Windows Vista Ultimate (intel machine) and the other runs Windows 7 (AMD machine), her Itunes is running fine, but she is on version 10.5.0.142.

I on the other hand have one computer similar to one of hers running Windows 7 64bit AMD processor. My Itunes version is 10.5.1.42 and the store isn't working at all. In addtion, the processor jumps to 100% everytime I access Itunes.

So much for keeping your applications up todate....

Sorry no news. I have the same problem running Windows 7 64 bit. Can't believe Apple is allowing this to happen. Clearly a problem following the update. I tried going back a version but it was geting too goofy and I was only getting more frustrated. I also read that it was Genius related so turned it off. Of course, it didn't work now I can't turn it back on without itunes crashing.

C'mon...fix this issue.

Rats - I'm already running as the admin.

Still having exactly the same trouble, regardless of running as Administrator or not. The bar that appears up the top of the iTunes screen still only loads halfway and if it does eventually load - BAM, text only. Come on Apple, get your stuff together. Get me a solution!
