If you fixed it before with MSCONFIG,

go back and read the last paragraph of the MSCONFIG instuctions
If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.
Sounds like malware is reinstalling itself on your PC, to me.

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

    i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:. If I try to re-install it says it cant find D:. I have cleaned the registry of iTunes, and it still wont reinstall. Any thoughts, thanks in advanced.

    hi Aaron!
    error 1327.Invalid Drive D:\
    hmmm. that one's consistent with the abrupt change of drive letters too.
    have you tried the InstallShield advice on the 1327?

  • ITunes wont open only error message

    iTunes wont open I only get an error message that reads. "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder" My music is on an exernal hard drive and it worked before I upgraded and now it wont work.
    Please help

    hiya!
    it's best to leave the "My Music" folder on the C drive. it's a Windows special folder, so having it out on an external can cause weird problems if (say) the drive letter assignment for the external drive changes.
    okay, here's the best place to start:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • Itunes Wont Open!!!Error -50

    My Itunes wont open ever since i upgraded to 6.0.before that everything worked fine.ive tried many of the techniques and none have worked.plz help me!!!

    hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
    preliminaries
    download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
    uninstall
    use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    ... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    reboot after uninstalling.
    reinstall
    remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
    reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
    if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:

    You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
    Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

  • Itunes wont open on Windows XP

    I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

    hi Singh!
    is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):

    hp   Windows XP  

    yes, I tried that document first but it did not work.  I couldn't even open itunes in safe mode at all.  I have reistalled safari and repaired quicktime, I've deleted all itunes software and reinstalled, I've googled fixes and tried them all.  Nothing works.  I tried creating another user account, didn't work.  I can now open itunes, but I have to double click the icon and walk away from the computer.  It take 10 or 15 minutes to open, will sync my ipod once, then locks up and I have to reboot.  Any other suggestions?

  • Itunes wont open-reinstall doesnt solve

    itunes wont open and when i try it says it cant open b/c some of its required files are missing and to reinstall itunes. so i went to this website and d/l it again and clicked repair. that didnt work. then i tried uninstalling/deleting everything and re-installing it and both when i tried repairing and re-installing altogether, a message came up having to do with quicktime..it read something like : quicktime error: -3
    HELP!

    For the QT error -3, I'd try the standalone QT install first.
    top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
    - turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
    - installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    - setting up Norton to allow iTunes
    - scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
    - last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

  • ITunes wont open,as WebKit.dll was not found?

    iTunes wont open as, error message says "The application has failed to start because WebKit.dll was not found". Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried to remove iTunes but come up with another error "can't find iTunes.msi"

    It looks like you might have two different problems going on at once. Trying the following one first:
    "The application has failed to start because WebKit.dll was not found".
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch properly now?
