ITunes does not open and gives no error message on Vista

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4 on Windows Vista and haven't really had any problems until recently. Nothing has changed (that I am aware of) on my Vista machine but now, iTunes won't start and I am not getting any error message. It just brings up a message box that reads, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." Then I have the option to close the program and that is it. No error messages or any other indication of what is going on.
When I first encountered this, I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and removed and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes (which was already working). I actually did it twice because I thought I messed it up. I was still getting the same problem.
I did try setting Bonjour to Disabled in Services as written here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2618748. That actually seemed to work, but only twice. I am back again to the same issue.
Any ideas at what I should be looking at to help solve this issue?
Thank you for the help.

b noir,
Here's some additional information. Between the time you responded and I had uninstalled iTunes and cleaned it up. Also, I followed the steps to install iTunes without all the extra "stuff" from this article: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/the-unofficial-guide-to-installing-itunes-10-with out-bloatware/2390
After I installed it, using the guide, I realized I had accidentally installed version 10.0.0.6 (or something like that). However, iTunes was working. Except, when I connected my iPhone4, I got an error saying that I needed to update iTunes because it wasn't compatible with my iPhone (or something like that). That was my fault for not installing the right version - but it did work.
So I went through the whole cleanup again, checking the registry, folders, etc. for any traces of iTunes or Apple stuff. I then reinstalled the latest version of iTunes using the ZDNET article. However, when I started it, I got the same crash again. Below is the information from Problem Reports and Solutions:

I am unable to install adobe digital edition 3 on windows 8. It does not open and gives an error message. Please help.

I have downloaded and installed adobe digital edition 3 in my windows 8 laptop. But it fails to open. I get an error message saying "adobe digital edition has stopped working. A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have downloaded the set up file from the adobe site from the link http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_3.0_Installer.exe. Can anyone help. I have bought online books and I am unable to read them unless this is installed.

ITUNES WON'T OPEN AND GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE HELP

my iTunes won't open, and instead pops up a window saying:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)."
Something similar to this is happening with my mac DVD player. When I try to open that, it won't open and says:
"There was an initialization error. The audio output device could not be found. Please make sure speakers or an appropriate output device is connected. [-70027]"
doesn't come in to handy when you are about to watch a new episode of Lost .
anyway, I saw the speaker thing and went online. Any sound online (music, popups) can all make sounds - so my computer isnt permanetly muted. I've also restarted my computer, done the system updates, and gone into system prefereces to mess around with the volume. The computer recognizes the internal speakers. HELP!

Hey,
Here are the steps that should help:
1. Close all applications.
2. Go into the Finder>Home>Library>Preferences
3. Delete 'com.apple.iDVD.plist' and 'com.apple.iTunes.plist'
4. Restart Immediatley.
This should work. Cheers, Ricky.

Despite my selecting Firefox as default browser, any link clicked goes to open IE browser, but that too does not open and sends an error message. Please advise.

I installed a HP printer on my desktop. To do this I had to temporarily discontinue some services (start/run/services.msc). The printer was installed successfully, but IE got currupted, it seems. Any link clicked went to IE instead of my default browser Firefox, but IE too would not function.
Please advise what may have happened and how do I correct it?

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache. [was: Lightroom 5 question]

@Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache.

This is the Photoshop forum however.
Close Lightroom and go to your Lightroom catalog folder.
The default location is usually in Pictures.
Delete the file in the catalog folder which ends Previews.lrdata
Do not touch the catalog itself which ends.lrcat
Then try re-launching Lightroom.

HT201413 suddenly itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention" is blocking itunes from opening....why????

itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" feature in Windows is preventing it from opening. (this is after I've been using itunes for years???? If I try to manually deselect itunes from the DEP filter, of course I get a message that itunes cannot operate without the DEP active...another Catch 22 from the evil program designers....

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (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.

Firefox 11.0/12.0 does not launch and provides no error message, how can I fix this? Windows 7/8

Running Windows 7 on one partition, and Windows 8 Consumer Preview on another, Firefox does not open for either.
Firefox crashes upon opening without an error message. I have reinstalled and manually cleared profile information. If I create a new profile, it works until I close and try to relaunch requiring me to make a new profile.
I have tried removing/reinstalling java as well (just in case), as I had been editing some of the java installation from my Windows 7 partition.
As I launch the Firefox, if I watch the task manager, Firefox.exe appears for a moment, but disappears almost immediately.
No files appear in 'C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports' directory with the exception of the 'InstallTime*********' file.
*Information posted in the "Troubleshooting Information" section below is from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview partition. There are some errors with my display driver not being updated properly, but Firefox -was- working on Windows 8 Consumer Preview until just recently, so I am assuming that is not part of the issue.

Noah_SUMO,
Regarding Naomi Internet Filter, I verified that it was -not- something installed (I hadn't heard of it before, but I made sure nevertheless in case it piggybacked on something).
As far as system restore software, I keep none =x
Never have, and I change over OS's relatively often (I went from 7 this past fall to 7/Kubuntu/BTLinux, to 8DeveloperPreview/Kubuntu/BTLinux, to overwriting Kubuntu with 7 a few weeks later, overwrote 8DevPrev to 8ConsumerPreview, and then removed both linux partitions and remerged with a fresh install of two separate partitions for 7 and 8 (I help with some OS compatibility/stress testing for a friend's software development company).
As far as software that monitors or interacts with online connections..
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Google Chrome (not that it's preferred over FF, just over IE ;]), Java(TM) 7 Update 3, Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Silverlight (I started having issues not long after I installed Silverlight, however I don't feel like this is causing any issue, as I tried removing it and reinstalling everything from scratch, but no luck), Mozilla Firefox 11.0 (x86 en-US)/Mozilla Firefox 12.0 (x86 en-US), Mozilla Maintenance Service, No-IP DUC (tested this and found no difference or ability for it to hinder FF), (previously) Skype 5.8, TortoiseSVN 1.7.5.22551 (32 bit), and WinSCP 4.3.7.
None of which I've found to have issues with Firefox in the past, as well as FF was working with them until just recently.
As far as I can tell, automatic updates were disabled for everything (including my OS), and no changes had been made to any of the software, with the exception of I had installed Silverlight, but as mentioned earlier, I didn't find any issues with this.
Like you say, my best guess at this point would be that there's something funky set up with my partitions, and so I may just do another fresh wipe and try again (it just takes forever to get everything installed that I need for school, so I'll probably just wait it out for a while).
The only reason in which I would go against it being a partition setup issue, is that it -was- working. However, I do recognize that something could have come up after a while (not sure how, but I don't doubt it).
I hadn't thought about downgrading past 11, but it's definitely worth a shot, and I'm more than willing to try. once I'm done with stuff today I'll give it a shot and post the results here.
Thanks so much for your suggestions.

Hello Brian,
Here is an article that should point you in the direction of a resolution. It has a section about the OXE errors.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring
To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers. See iTunes for Windows: Issues syncing iOS devices with P55 and related Intel Chipsets for more information.
All the best,

HT3805 My Aperture 3 just crashed, i.e., it would not open and showed an error message -1712. I sent the current version to trash and reinstalled from my A3 disk, but after installing again it still says "Aperture can not open -1712."

My Aperture 3 just crashed...by that I mean it would not open and showed the message: "Aperture 3 cannot open. -1712." I have the latest A3 version and had been using it continually for 3 years. This was the first crash. And it will not open as often as I tried.
I am using a 13" Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
I tried sending the A3 application to trash, and reinstalling from my A3 disk. Install message said "installation successful." But A3 would still not open and gave same message with -1712.
Any suggestions what I should do or try?
Thanks

Perhaps your Aperture library was damaged, when Aperture crashed. What where you doing, right before the crash happened?
- If you installed new software - programs, plug-ins, preferences panels, check, if they are compatible.
- If you imported new images, you may have imported corrupted files, that crash Aperture.
Can Aperture launch correctly, when you try to open a new Aperture library?
Hold down the options-key, when you launch Aperture and select to create a new library. Import a few images. Does that work?
If Aperture will launch on a new Library, try to repair your current library. Hold down the key-combination option-command ⌥⌘ firmly while double-clicking the Aperture library to open in First Aid Mode. Hold the keys down, until the panel appears, and then try the First Aid Options in turn.
I have the latest A3 version
Is it Aperture 3.4.5? The latest Aperture 3.5.1 will not work with Mt. Lion.

ITunes does not open and I've tried almost everything

Everytime I have tried to open iTunes (I just downloaded the new one) this error pops up...
I have tried to repair, uninstall and reinstall Quick Time and iTunes nothing has seemed to work. I have also tried to change my settings in my Control Panel under Sounds and Autio Devices. That hasn't helped.
Someone please help. I have run out of ideas.
We just got a new computer and transfered files from our old computer to this one. I'm not sure if there are any corrupt files that were transfered through iTunes but I am confused because iTunes still works on that computer but it's the old version before this new version came out.

I have been having the same problem, but I don't even get an error message. When I click on itunes, the hourglass starts moving, but then nothing. I've tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling, and NOTHING works. I'm hoping to get it working by Christmas, as my daughter is getting an ipod.

My iTunes will not open...no error message and I don't have Norton 2005!

I've upgraded my iTunes to 6.03 on my PowerMacG4, with MacOSX10.3.9. After a few times using iTunes 6.0.3, my iTunes stopped opening when I clicked on its icon in the dock. It doesn't show up in the top menu either. No error message shows up and I've read from other forums that it has to do with Norton 2005, but I don't have Norton. How can I fix this????? Please help.

hi alshie!
if you don't have NIS 2005, and you're getting no error messages whatsoever, let's check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
but the other thing we'd better check on quickly is infestation of the PC by Qoologic adware. that's typically different from the NIS 2005 and configuration-file thingies in that people usually see a "flash" of the itunes license screen before everything goes away (and they see similar behavior when they try to launch their QuickTime). but that symptom isn't universal in these cases.
what has been fixing the Qoologic for most people has been the free trial version of Ewido:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
keep us posted. if no joy with these, we'll start working through the rarer possibilities.

HT4718 I upgraded to Mavericks and my mail application does not load and give an error screen.

Mail application does not work after upgrade to Mavericks.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

ITunes won't open and a Windows error message pops up

I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2.12 awhile ago. It worked fine the first time. Ever since then, whenever I plug in my ipod, my laptop recognizes and says it's syncing but iTunes won't open. I double click on iTunes and I get an error message from Windows saying that an error has occurred and it needs to close iTunes but it never even opens up. (The message doesn't give any error codes.) I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all its components and then reinstalling it but I get the same error message. I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP 3. Please help. Thanks.

Many thanks.
Yes, it is an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error. The ModName: dnssd. dll The ModVer: 2.0.5.0 Offset: 0000246c
With that one, by way of experiment, let's try disabling your Bonjour Service.
In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?
