ITunes 11.1 running in Task Manager but does NOT Open

I have looked areound and no one seems to be having this problem (that I can tell).
My problem started when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 running Windows 8. When I tried to open iTunes, it never opens but if I open the Task Manager I can see it running (32-bit) with a couple other Apple programs. I have downloaded with both Firefox and Chrome.
I have tried the following things:
Completely uninstalled iTunes following the steps outline by Apple (included checking all folders for files).  Same thing happened when I re-installed.
Tried to install as the Administrator.
Tried to run using Windows 7 compatibility
Refreshed my computer (erases and resets everything minus personal files) and installed iTunes 11.1 before anything. Did not work.
Once or twice it would open but as soon as I closed and tried to re-open iTunes, same thing. Never opens but running in Task Manager.
I have no idea what to do next and am running iTunes 11.1 on an OLD desktop that is not sustainable.
Thanks in advance.

  • Firefox opens in task manager but does not display.

    This morning my Firefox stopped working and I had to end task. Afterwards when trying to restart Firefox the firefox process will open under task manager but nothing displays on the screen. I've tried ending all firefox processes and restarting my pc. I also tried creating a new profile under the firefox,exe -manageprofile command. When I created the new profile and ran under it I had the exact same problem. I tried running under safe mode and I get the pop up telling me that mozila is running under safe mode with the check box's for clearing settings but there is still no window displayed and when clicking continue in safe mode the pop up box goes away and I'm left with nothing once again. I tried running the firefox setup freshly downloaded in an attempt to repair the setup of sorts but this had no effect.
    I also did a short search of the forum for any soloutions but so far haven't found anything. If anyone could suggest some more things to try before I do a complete wipe of Firefox using CCleaner.
    Also in the event I use CCleaner I'd like to back up my bookmarks first so if anyone knows a start parameter to back up bookmarks or even what file the bookmarks are stored (already found a forum topic on the saved passwords file) in and if copying that file into a new installation will work please let me know.
    Regards to any one who can assist.

    I had this problem for a couple weeks as well and it was extremely frustrating considering we use firefox for all our company tasks. Here is the solution:
    First of all if you have no bookmarks you want to save, then go directly to step 7. If you want to save your bookmarks first, then follow these steps.
    1. Shut down the computer
    2. Reboot and open firefox
    3. Go to Task Manager, right click firefox.exe, and click END PROCESS TREE
    4. WAIT 30 SECONDS! Then Double-click the shortcut to try and open firefox again
    5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until firefox finally opens (trust me, eventually it will)
    6. Once it finally opens, backup your bookmarks,
    7. Download a copy of firefox from there website
    8. Uninstall from programs menu and make sure to check the box REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
    9. install the new copy and BOOM! it works
    If it doesn't work, you're an idiot. If you don't want to reinstall firefox, then you're out of luck. Good Luck!

  • My itunes will not open. It shows to be open in Task Manager but will not open.

    I have tried the Quicktime Fix that was recommended but it did not help. I also cannot shut down the itunes process in Task Manager.

    Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

  • Firefox 4.0 will not open at all. It shows that the process is running in the task manager but will not open the window even after closing the prcess and restarting.

    I have had firefox since an earlier 2. version and have been able to upgrade as normal. After the installation is done it will not open at all. I have restarted and even uninstalled all previous version .exe and still nothing. I am using windows 7 OS. I am still running 3.6.8 and would love to see the new one running on my laptop.

    hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

  • When I try to open Firefox, it says it is running in the Task manager, but will not open until the memory has reached about 100,000k. Also, it keeps NOT responding all the time, and freezes up.

    I have done everything on the support page. I am running Windows Vista, and I am running Firefox 4.01. I have even tried running in safe mode. I have updated my plugins, and then disabled plugins and extensions.

    Hello Pohaku66, any luck if you [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding#w_remove-the-profile-lock-file remove the profile lock file] ?

  • After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

    win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
    if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
    try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

    There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
    Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
    If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
    To do so, please do the following:
    #Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
    #Press the power button
    #Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
    #Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
    Please report back with the results of both solutions.

  • FF shows on the task bar shows running on task manager but I can not maximize it

    FF shows on the task bar shows running on task manager but I can not maximize it.

    Can you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode. To do that, hold down SHIFT while you click the desktop shortcut or quick launch icon. Then click the '''Continue without making changes''' button.
    If it works in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • BB recognized by computer & Desktop Manager, but does not connect?

    All right, I've scoured these forums and can't figure this out. Tell me if I've missed something.
    Blackberry is recognized by my computer AND by Desktop Manager, but does not fully connect so I can sync. I can see it in My Computer, and the Desktop Manager does recognize the model of smartphone when it's plugged in. Both Windows, and Desktop Manager ask me for my password when I connect the USB cord. However, it just says 'connecting' in the bottom right, and never gets past that. When the phone is initially plugged in, the screen goes to the clock (normal), and flashes the 'connection' screen (BB and computer icons connecting with a cord). It flashes that screen twice then goes back to the clock. The Desktop Manager then just keeps trying to connect, until I unplug it. Both the computer and desktop manager recognize when I've unplugged it.
    Running:
    Windows 7, 64bit
    Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35
    Blackberry Tour 9630
    This is a new computer. I was running Windows XP with Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35 previously, and it worked no problem, but that is no longer an option.
    The goal is to be able to sync with Outlook 2007. Need very badly to be able to do this.
    Did all the simple stuff:
    Oh so many Windows restarts,
    Blackberry battery pull, both unplugged and plugged into computer with Desktop Manager running,
    Desktop manager reinstall,
    plugged into every different USB port,
    tried a different cord.
    Went deeper:
    BB USB drivers fully up to date
    Turned OFF USB power management on all my ports in device manager,
    Disabled USB selective suspend setting
    Deleted my intellisync folder in appdata/roaming,
    Turned off Windows UAC notifications,
    Tried every combination of BB memory compression on and off, or mass storage mode on and off,
    There might be more I've tried but don't remember. I've been searching the net for days now.
    Please let me know if there's anything else I can try. This is a serious issue for me right now, I need to be able to sync with Outlook 2007.
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Why won't my iTunes movie rental play or download?
    This worked for me when I ran into the same issue (can scroll through rented movie but can't play it).  Just switch iTunes to the MiniPlayer (in the Window menu) and then back to the normal player.  Apparently, you may need to do this a few times. It sounds odd (and I didn't really expect it to work), but it fixed the problem for me.

    It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

  • I am trying to uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show when I force quit.  How do I remove it?

    How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

    Open Activity Monitor and look for the program.  Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
    Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.
