iTunes Store not working on Windows 8.1

this worked for me too

Thank you so much for posting this!! I have been searching and searching for how to fix this!! Worked perfectly!!

YOU ARE A GENIUS! Thank You! It finally worked!

🙂

Quick and simple. Totally worked. Thanks!

Hoorah it works. Well done mate...I've been trying for days to get it to work!!

However...it'd have been much easier if Apple could have come up with the fix themselves considering the numerous queries about this and other aspects of 8.1 and iTunes compatability.

Okay so I tried all of that and even downloaded all the latest software and still its not working.

Did you try "Sony Singht" manual "

Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes"

It's work for me too. Thanks

i am having this same problem. "itunes store stopped working" and closes itunes after upgrade to 8.1. I uninstalled all my apple sw (in the presribed order) and reinstalled and still am having the same problem.

i am going to try the manual fix suggested above (copying QTMovieWinn.dll), and will report back, but I wonder why this should be the source of the problem. Has anyone at Apple recognized this problem???

OK the fix seems to work so far, but beware those of you who installed itunes to a custom folder during installation, copying the file into C\:program files\itunes does NOT do the trick, you have to (also??) put it in the custom folder you installed to. Might seem obvious, but thought I'd share nonetheless.

Nothing works for me 😟 I can't uninstall itunes but it doesn't show in my uninstall program (in control panel), and I can't uninstall quicktime because it is also not showing as installed (but I know that it is, just like I know that itunes is because I have it open right now) It just won't load the store. I looked under: Apple, iTunes, etc. in uninstall program list.

Great work Sony Singh - you're a legend

U're my idol Sony Singh, Tks alot

I was having the same issue and this finally worked for me too!! Thank you so much guys.

Sony Singh, Thank you very much.

Your solution worked. Thanks.

I spent the better part of 2 hours speaking to level 2 Apple techs before being told this was not an Apple problem and to contact Microsoft. During the last 2 days I spent the better part o 3 hours on the phone and remotely connected with Microsoft techs who could not find the problem. Your solution worked.

The first level 2 tech that I dealt with said he had to do some research on this problem and that he would get back to my cell phone. I never heard from him despite sending him several follow up emails asking for progress on his work. I reported this to the last Apple level 2 tech I spoke with. I just sent a message to the unresponsive Apple level 2 tech telling him to share your solution with his colleagues. My message bounced back. Presumably he is no longer with Apple!

Good grief. This worked!!!!

Thank you so much.

I'm tempted to ask why-oh-why but never look a gift horse in the mouth!
