Can't open itunes after 7.7 upgrade

I can no longer open itunes after updating 7.7. Tried all normal tricks. Multiple reinstalls and restarts. I get "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and asks if I want to send an error report to microsoft. I also tried downloading older versions of itunes (which worked fine before update) and get the same error message. Quicktime gets the same message too. I tried to uninstall that and a fatal error message came up and would not uninstall. Last but not least I had an "itunes helper has a problem ect." on a couple of my reinstalls. Read something about uninstalling boujour with no results.
Any fix or help would be appreciated. I'm not super computer guy...just so you know. Thanks

This sounds like your shortcut is still pointing to iTunes 7 (assuming you upgraded to version 8). Find the version 8 application and it should work.
The problem with the Mac version 8 is that it crashes consistently at startup, and the solution to that is ditching the new library files and reverting to the most recent version 7 library (copy from from the Previous iTunes Library directory and delete the date suffix).
There was a known issue with proxies settings in earlier versions of 7 that has apparently been reintroduced in version 8.
Way to go, Apple.

Can't open iTunes after migrating new computer

Can't open iTunes after migrating my old powerbook to my new macbook pro. Get the error message: "The file iTunes Library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Help!

Did you install the latest version of iTunes on the new PC? The usual reason for this is that you had a newer version on the old PC.
If you can't get it to work the simplest thing to do is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from the iTunes folder to desktop.
Then start iTunes and use the following link to recreate your library.

Note you already dragged the library files out of the iTunes folder.

How can I open iTunes after recent update 01/25/2014

After installing the recent update for iTunes, I can't open iTunes. Tried to uninstall/reinstais missing, with same results. I have received several error messages: MSVCR80.dill is missing. Please re-install, error 7 Windows error (126).
When will this corrupted download be fixed? I can't access iTunes at all.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following four programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

Can't open iTunes after accidently unplugging iPod--help!

Having problems opening iTunes after I accidently unplugged my 60G video iPod while it was loading. iTunes kind of froze, with the spinning beach ball, and I had to force quit to stop it. I restarted the computer for good measure, but now, when I try to open iTunes, I get the message:
"The iTunes Music Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
Of course, the library file is NOT locked, NOT on a locked disk, and I DO have write permission for the file.
Can anyone help with this matter?
Thanks,
Terry
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Try running Disk Utility and perform a "Repair Permission".
Also check manually through finder the permissions on "iTunes" folder as well as on the files in that folder.

Can't open iTunes after upgrade: Procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey error

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Professional, and upgraded my iTunes yesterday to 11.3. When I attempt to open iTunes, I am getting two error messages:
iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll.
I clicked OK, and get another error message:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
I reinstalled iTunes and still get the errors.
Is there a solution to this problem? I would hate to uninstall and start over --- especially if that won't fix the problem.
Thanks.

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.
Not an error message I recognise but the error has the same pattern as those in the first and third boxes suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find the file in the Apple Application Support folder. Delete it and then repair Apple Application Support.

I can't open iTunes application when I upgraded to Yosemite.

I have a 2008 mac book pro. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't seem to open iTunes. In the app store under 'Updates' it says I have downloaded iTunes 12.0.1 on Oct. 18.14. But when I go to iTunes in the applications folder it says I have 12.0.1.26 on Oct.19.14. I did download the iTunes update before I downloaded Yosemite. I was thinking that I needed to uninstall iTunes. I used the 'sharing and permissions' method, but it didn't work. Help!

Re: iTunes doesn't open after Yosemite is installedin response to sinpwo
I have been having the same problem too but I solved it! You first have to click on the "Finder" icon then find the iTunes application in the application folder. After that right click on the iTunes icon and press "show package contents." Once that is open click on the "contents" folder, then click "Mac OS." After the "Mac OS" folder is open click you have on to click on the iTunes terminal. (It was the first icon in the folder, it saids "exec" on it.)

What happens when you try to download it?

I can't open Whatsapp after iOS 5 upgrade.

Hello,
I need some help. I updated my iPod Touch 4g to iOS 5 and after I installed Whatsapp using iPhone Configuration Utility, I can't open Whatsapp.
When I tap on the icon it opens and closes immediatly. I really dont know what to do, it worked on iOS 4 so I'm really confused!
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance,
Friso

- Reset your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download/install a new app.
Do not delete the app and redownload it from the App store. A year or sa ago the developer upated the app so it was no longer compatible with the iPod Touch. That also means that the old versinon you are using is not compatible with the iPOd Toucn unless the iPhone Configuration utility allows you to install the app on the iPod.

I can't open itunes after latest installation

i installed the latest version of itunes and followed all the steps but now when i want to open itunes a pop-up appears saying "This action is only vaild for producta that are currently installed"

"the following file doesn't exist or is not a valid uninstallation log file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\QUICKTIME\UNINSTALL.LOG"
ahhhhh ... one of those.
oddly enough, these ones typically respond better to brute force than they do to finesse. rather than uninstalling QuickTime first, try doing a standalone QuickTime 7.1.5 install "over the top" of what you've already got in there:
Quicktime 7.1.5 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
if the standalone install goes through okay, does your iTunes start launching properly again?

Can't open iTunes after upgrading

I just upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and now I am getting the following message "The "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
I have tried dragging an older version of my library into the Itunes folder but still keep getting the same message. Now I cannot do anything with iTunes and this is extremely frustrating. Any ideas or suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks in advance
Roya

Had the same problem.
If you have a Mac:
Hold down "alt" and click on your iTunes icon
Click "Choose Library"
Select "Previous Library" folder
Select your most recently dated library
iTunes should now open normally
If you have a PC:
Change the extension of your library file from ".itl" to ".old" and restart iTunes

Can't open iTunes after iTunes 10 download Help Please?

Could someone pretty please tell me what I can do to get my iTunes open up. I not only have an iPod but my iPhone too!!!! This includes all my business contacts, agendas, calendars are all looped thru iTunes for my iPhone ...

I am having the same issue. I was able to use iTunes to rent a movie, watch the movie, and since then, it shuts down less than 10 seconds after start up. Is there something wrong with the newest version of iTunes?
Can anyone tell me why iTunes is shutting down automatically and what can i do to fix it?

I'm unable to open itunes after the recent upgrade. Runtime error R6034 is the error message. I recently replaced my iPhone and I don't want to loose my data by uninstalling and re-installing the itunes?

Hi,
I've recently replaced my iphone 5 and I couldn't restore my data into my new phone, as it asked me to do the software upgrade on itunes in my computer. So, I did the itunes upgrade, which is now causing the Runtime error R6034. I wonder if I would loose my data (i.e., can't restore the data into my new phone), if I follow the uninstalling & re-installing steps. Plz advice, as how this runtime error can be fixed and at the sametime, I will still be able to restore my data into my new phone.
