iTunes has stopped working...
I've been having a major issue with iTunes as of late. I am frequently getting the "iTunes has stopped working" message, it happens every time I open a video file in Windows Media Player, every time I plug in my iPhone and sometimes when I disconnect it, every time I insert a blank CD, and if it hasn't popped up after intially opening iTunes and I haven't done any of the previous it will pop up after about 30-45 minutes of having iTunes open. It all started after I tried to rip a new CD to my library and the last song was stuck on ripping and wouldn't complete so I had to cancel the rip, I'm not sure if this caused the problem but felt it was important enough to mention. It's incredibly frustrating and it's causing me to not want to use the program but I have an iPhone so I don't have much of a choice. Please help? I'm running the latest version of Windows 8. I haven't contacted Apple at this time because I don't want the headache so I was hoping I could get some answers here first.
