Upgraded to 12.3.2.35 and now iTunes Store screens flashes

You are mistaken if you think that Apple - Support - Downloads is a repository for all versions of iTunes - it is a very selective listing that omits many versions of iTunes and/or the different installers for each version. Turingtest2's user tip on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates lists all versions of iTunes, with variant installers, going back to 11.4. If you look there it'll confirm that the 12.1.3 version that happens to be on the Apple page is an XP/Vista-specific update adding iOS 09 support to the last mainstream version for those OSs (12.1.2). Suggesting that 12.1.3 is the immediate predecessor of 12.3.2 is simply wrong, and any suggestion that it might resolve iTunes Store issues is misleading and, for anyone expecting to retain support for Apple Music, counter-productive. The preceding versions that users may find useful as a short-term fix to the iTunes Store issue, pending an update from Apple, are 12.3.1 and 12.3. I suggest that you check your facts before posting.

Same problem running iTunes 12.3.2.35 on Windows 7 64-bit on an ASUS M70Vn notebook.

Again you are putting words in my mouth that I did not say. Find another hobby, you suck at this one!

This is probably a dumb question, but why do the system restore from SAFE mode? Just safer that way or should system restores always be done from SAFE mode or...?

Thanks!

System will not restore from safe mode...Don't do that because it's a waste of time. The only hope is that Apple people will find out what the issue is about and finally fixed. It must be some bug specially designed for Christmas 😁

Update: I've now checked this on another computer and looks to me like it's limited to the 64-bit version of Windows 7.

I had iTunes 12.3.2.35 installed on both machines (both running Windows 7) and it only flickers on the 64-bit machine. Don't know if this helps or not though :/

I use Windows-10 64 bit and I have the problem.

I'm confused (nothing new there 🙂), I don't understand the basis behind your statement that "System will not restore from safe mode".

It seems you CAN do a Windows 7 System Restore from Safe Mode (http://bfy.tw/3Oz8), I was merely asking why do it from Safe Mode versus just doing it from normal mode? I'm guessing it's because Safe Mode boots a computer without loading any third-party (in this case Apple) software or drivers?

Also, for me it should revert back to iTunes 12.3.1.23 where I did not have the flickering screen issue. Whether or not it works or if I really want to go to the trouble of trying it is another matter altogether...

That's my understanding as well. My system restore failed in normal mode presumably due to a firewall in my antivirus program. In safe mode it worked and iTunes reverted to 12.3.1.23 which works fine. Took me all of 2 minutes to do this. Simple. But Apple needs to acknowledge and fix the glitch in their newest version of the software.

Presumably Apple renders a lot of profit from the itunes Store, so if this problem was indeed pervasive then I'm sure they would move quickly to solve the problem (that to me seems rather simple to solve).

I suspect it may appear this complication is widespread, but that assumption comes from reading posts on a thread dedicated to the problem. Not a good indication of how many itune users are actually having trouble.

Eventually, I'm sure it will be fixed.

"Update: I've now checked this on another computer and looks to me like it's limited to the 64-bit version of Windows 7."

No it's not. I have 32-bit version of Windows 7 , same annoyng problem.

"It seems you CAN do a Windows 7 System Restore from Safe Mode (http://bfy.tw/3Oz8), I was merely asking why do it from Safe Mode versus just doing it from normal mode? I'm guessing it's because Safe Mode boots a computer without loading any third-party (in this case Apple) software or drivers?"

Correct !

"Also, for me it should revert back to iTunes 12.3.1.23 where I did not have the flickering screen issue. Whether or not it works or if I really want to go to the trouble of trying it is another matter altogether..."

Going back to the previous version doesn't mean solving the problem . Some users did it anyway without success , so I guess the only solution will be new iTunes update.

Thanks for the clarification, I tend to confuse easily...

Greg

Same annoying problem. It has to be a bug on the new version of itunes.

Stand down, Man! Can't you see that some people have more creds here than you? You're a "Level 1 (0 points)" nube, like the rest of us....
