Got itunes installed but...

when i try to open it i get...
"iTunes has encounted a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the incovenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem...yada yada yah"
is there anything i could do to fix this??? I've tried repairing itunes but the same thing continues to come up

let's try and get that QuickTime swapped out by other means, then.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

    Hello goreckim,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your Mac Pro. You may want to isolate the issue further by testing to see if it persists in a new user account:

  • ITunes installed, but dosent open

    I have installed the new iTunes 7.0 but the problem is it wont open. Theres no error, no sort of problem notification, I just double click on the icon like normal and the hour glass shows, but then nothing happens. Is there an installation glitch?? I would figure if there was a problem with my computer being able to load or install the program my computer would notify me some way but it dosen't.

    I have a similar problem, i just bought a new pc and one of the first things i installed was itunes. But i had some problems with drivers and and other programs so i had to use system restore (5 times...) so i can install itunes but it wont open and i get an error message. I think my problem is with quicktime cos i cant find it anywhere in my folders, there is a quicktime folder but its empty (0 bytes) so i downloaded quicktime from this site seperately and installed it, i got a message saying that a newer version of quicktime is already installed... i have no idea how i can fix this, quicktime isnt listed in the install/uninstall function in windows, its not visible in any folder, its not thereeeeeeee =(

  • ITunes installed but will not open...HELP!!!

    Hey,
    I've been trying to get my iTunes re-installed as it seemed to just stop working. I'm in a right pickle as I'm working on the play list for my upcoming wedding...
    I've removed and reinstalled about 3 times now (on Chrome and IE) and everything seems to go OK with the install but when I try to open the iTunes from the desktop, nothing happens. I can open QT no problem.
    Please help as this couldn't have happened at a worse time and I'm running out of ideas.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    First check to see if iTunes.exe remains running on the processes tab of the Task Manager, even though iTunes does not open.
    If it does, it means iTunes is hanging during start up. This can be caused by bonjour as suggested by the previous poster.
    If that doesn't work here is a method for troubleshooting this type of launch failure in Windows XP.
    ===
    Troubleshooting silent launch failure in Windows XP
    Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
    A couple of simple things to try:

    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363?viewlocale=en_US
    Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
    But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
    Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
    Start>>Run>>Services.msc
    you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
    Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
    Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
    Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
    If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

    i have installed itunes 7 but when i click on the link, nothing shows up. when i click on it the first time, a norton anitvirus thing shows up showing it is "low risk" and asks what should i do.

    I found another article entitled Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538)
    When I disabled all the non-Microsoft services, it worked!
    However, I tried adding one back, and it didn't work.
    So I added the others back, and left the one I thought was causing the problem unchecked, but I still have the same problem.
    Could anyone tell me if these are necessary?

  • ITunes installed, but won't fully open

    after downloading and installing iTunes 7.0.2 I try to open the program without much luck. It takes me to the user agreement page, but then and error comes up. The error says, "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this file is in the "My Music" folder. How do I get passed this so I can run iTunes on this machine?

    Make sure your computer meets System Requirements. I recommend uninstall and reinstall of iTunes. Try this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 ~.~

  • Itunes installed but wont start-pleaseee help!

    So i just bought an iphone yesterday. I havent installed itunes on my laptop until last night. I installed it fine, but then once i try to run it from my desktop icon it tells me that "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. we're sorry for the inconvenience." it asks if i want to "send error report" or "dont send".
    i tried a bunch of methods but nothing seems to work and I really want to sync my iphone to my laptop
    any suggestions?

    it tells me that "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. we're sorry for the inconvenience." it asks if i want to "send error report" or "dont send".
    Provoke another of those messages, and click the "click here" link.
    What ModName and ModVer show up for the error in the box that comes up?
    If you don't see a Modname and a Modver showing up in there, what type of error does the box say you're getting? (For example, Appcrash, BEX, InPageError?)

  • Installing PSE12 Continually  crashes my DVD player during install.  Cannot open or use DVD and it won't open. Finally got it installed, but program blinks continuely when trying to open program.  It then opens after a long wait.

    Sorry this is my first time in the Adobe forum.  I pretty much asked everything in my title.  The installation process took me several hours to finally get it loaded.  Continually crashes my DVD player and I have to use a pin to open it to get to the disc.  This is a new disc just purchased a few days ago.  Read where this program has had its share of problems on the internet.  After installing the program, it blinks continually for a long time before it ever opens.  Rather annoying to say the least.  Need this program to get me started in my work.
    Will this program work even though it blinks for a long time when opening it?  Seems to work, but since I am not that familiar with it, I really don't know just yet.
    Thank you for your input.

    You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
    The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
    The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
    Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.
