Crashing on update and losing Itunes completely

i tried to install the latest update to Itunes. The program crashed and I was advised to reinstall Itunes. This appeared to work but it now tells me that the procedure entry point CMBlock BufferCopyDataBytescould not be located in the dynamic link library core media.dll

I also got error message 7 (windows 127). My lap top is a Sony Vio. Can anyone help??

PC, Windows XP

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.


Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.



The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support

Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.
