Itunes 11.3.1.2 Crash

Add one more. Win7x64, applied latest update, itunes always crashes on start, podcast window is usually the start for me.

Podcast were still crashing. Finally rolled back to 11.3.0, problem solved.

I rolled back to 11.0.5.5 which is the last good version before the podcasting was complete fouled up.

Does anyone know how to downgrade the recent version of itunes to 11.3.1? because I keep getting 11.3.1.2

That's a bit of a problem when I clicked the 11.3.1 and downloaded it keep giving me the 11.3.1.2

They are the same thing. Apple normally list between 1 and 3 parts of the full 4 section build number, depending on the stage of the release, so the first version of iTunes 11 was called just that.

Also having problems with podcasts with the new version of iTunes on 64 bit windows 7 system. It screwed up my podcast settings on update, downloaded a ton of old podcasts that I had already listened to. Then after I sorted that out it frequently crashes when I try to listen to podcasts (not so much music). Last time I accept an iTunes update without letting others thoroughly test it first.

Ugh, 64-bit Windows 8.1 here and same deal.

I'm SOOOOO freaking sick of them wrecking iTunes! They've completely butchered podcast support in both iTunes and iOS, which are *THE* reasons I use iTunes and iOS. Last year they just trashed podcast support in iTunes, and forced you to use that horrible "podcasts" app instead of the excellent "music" app in iOS.

Anyway I tried that "control + ****" then clicked to launch iTunes...Windows prompted me for admin permissions (why?) but immediately after that it actually let me download podcasts...but I don't know if that's a fluke or it's actually fixed.

I'm going to switch to doing podcasts the hard way as RSS feeds in Thunderbird if Apple makes this any worse. I've already switched from an iPhone to an iPod classic + Nokia... Seriously, their podcast support since 2005 has been PERFECT, then someone decides to "improve it"...ugh.

Apple presents an unconcerned attitued. I too have had it with itunes. I have moved on to http://www.mediamonkey.com/ . Excellent technical support. Good product. Not looking back...:-)

Well said. I am having the same crash problems with this update, no matter what I do to try and correct it. Interesting to me that Apple has developers these days who cannot manage iTunes or iTunes Match, the latter of which I finally dropped because it was apparently being ignored by Apple and was messed up beyond belief. Now iTunes is following in the same pattern. You are right that Apple support is non-existent, even though I read about some people who have had luck. I don't want to have to call with every glitch. Would be nice to have actual answers in Apple's support pages, but those pages are so generic, they rarely help. I don't know about their operating systems, but they ought to just stop producing these other software programs if they aren't serious about them and just get on with producing hardware.

This is very interesting. I have the same problem, but running Windows XP. iTunes is coming up with Podcasts section active, and it crashes just after pulsing the iTunes store. It's not supposed to be logging in, since I haven't stored my password within the program, but it's faking my credentials anyway. These errors are showing up in the Windows event log:

Faulting application itunes.exe, version 11.3.1.2, faulting module itunes.dll, version 11.3.1.2, fault address 0x00e0d157.

Fault bucket 424383334.

Faulting application itunes.exe, version 11.3.1.2, faulting module itunes.dll, version 11.3.1.2, fault address 0x00e0d157.

Fault bucket 424383334.

And it continues. These two errors appear in pairs each time I start iTunes and it crashes each time.

The iTunes Podcast section and the iPhone Podcasts app have been badly broken since the last two "updates." See my separate post about that mess.

I've ended up relaunching it again and again and again, and trying something different each time, until it finally doesn't crash. At that point usually I can do anything and it won't crash.

I already like Windows better as a desktop OS, but Apple seems intent on completely kicking me out of the iOS and maybe even iPod ecosystem too... (Lightning connector just doesn't work...I know that plenty of people have probably been fine with it, but I've never had issues with USB, and have had 4 lightning connectors fail on me, and more than that with cables...)

CharleneC and rmvcfall both mention MediaMonkey. Checked it out today and that is where I am headed. It supports AAC, which is great because I have so many AAC lossless files in iTunes. Let's see: Apple screws up iTunes Match and I drop the subscription. Apple screws up iTunes and podcast management and I go to MediaMonkey. iTunes doesn't handle a comprehensive group of video formats and I go to VLC Player. iTunes does a lousy job of video conversion so I go to Handbrake. Apple screws up iCloud and I drop that and go to my own personal cloud via WD. Apple support is virtually non-existent and is a joke among most people. There seems to be a theme here, no? Love the free/open source programs produced by dedicated folks. As rvmcfall said, "not looking back." I was thinking of upgrading my iPhone from the 4s to the 6 in another week. Re-thinking that now too. I've lost the tremendous respect I had for Apple. Time to move on to software programs and devices produced by competent people ... who care about their products.

Personally I'd hold on to that 4s, as it's the newest you can get that uses the old connector. I realize not everyone has had the lightning connector/port fail on them, but I have up after my 5s (the fourth device I had fail) went after 10 months. That was 10 months of babying it, doing almost nothing with my iPhone but carefully putting it in my bag, taking it out at work and plugging it in to a dock, then putting it in my bag and carefully plugging it in at home.

I like many things about iOS (love the way you can disable access to specific features on a program by program basis), and before Apple ruined it a year ago I loved its podcast support, but at this point a Windows Phone or Android device at least works...
