    iTunes in Win 10 won't run
    « on: October 20, 2016, 09:32:09 PM »
       For the last several days, I have been wanting to nuy stuff from iTunes.

       Instead, I get this message:

       "iTunes has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

       I emailed Apple about it, but that wasn't the answer.  I uninstalled - and reinstalled - the latest version, and it's the same old, same old.

       I am using A Win10 Gateway SX2185.

       Does anyone have  a solution for a Win10 PC?

    This is not a direct answer. You can try alternatives to iTunes. Many work very well.

    It seems that Apple is not  doing all they can to maintain the cross platform users of their once great product. It is unlikely they will make efforts to support Windows 10. However, you can judge for your self.

      Totally Uninstall iTunes and related software (Quick Time etc) after following the steps in the link, restart then download iTunes again.

           I uninstalled iTunes and Quick Time, then reinstalled it and it won't work.
         
           I'm getting frustrated over this.

        I suggest you try the Apple support forums.

          As @Allan rightly recommended, then your best bet can be to take Apple Live Chat Support. They'd be able to guide you in real time.
