ITunes on Vista 74bit Issue - Opens but displays an error message

I am running Vista 64bit and have two user accounts.
I have the iTunes music files and library file stored in the "Public" folder so that we can both access the same music from one source.
The problem is that when I open iTunes on one of the user accounts, an error message appears on the "other" account. This error message reappears continuously until iTunes is closed.
Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
    Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
    Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
    check box in the General area.
    Click OK.
    If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
    Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
    Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
    Compatibility tab.
    Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
    check box.
    Best regards.

  • ITunes wont delete, needs re-install but keep getting error message.

    I have a Dell XPS M1710 and running the latest version of iTunes.
    Well, I had a problem with the DVD drive in the laptop and one of the tech guys edited the registry remotely and re-installed the DVD drive.
    Now iTunes is showing this error message when I start it up.
    Itunes Setup Assistant
    Warning!
    The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other Cd burning software. Please re-install iTunes.
    Well.... I un-installed then re-installed. Forgot something and un-installed again. Deleted the iTunes folder and quicktime folder in the Add/Remove programs and in the Program Files. then the iTunes folder in the Music Folder.
    I got this error message again, and keep getting it when I run iTunes.
    How can I fix this?

    First and foremost, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER let anyone edit your registry remotely without asking him exactly what he is doing and why. There are two rules to editing the registry.
    #1. DO NOT
    #2. If you must break rule #1, BACKUP
    Sounds like the Dell tech guy forgot both of them.
    If you know which "other" software was installed, you can try uninstalling it. If you are sufficiently tech-savvy, you can try to discover which keys they are talking about and edit them in the registry editor, refer to the above rules.
    You can always try calling Dell back and have them fix what they broke. They are supposed to keep detailed, accurate records of all maintenance and repairs they perform.
    Try re-installing without uninstalling. I know, SHUDDER, but by now it probably will not hurt. Are you still running with the original OS, and is the image restore option still available? If so you can try backing up your data and re-installing the OS to its original config. This is not a great option, but it is a next-to-LAST resort.
    Absolute LAST resort, brick the system, re-install everything. Definitely a baby-with-the-bathwater solution, but if nothing else works........
    Hopefully something in here will help. Happy New Year

  • HT5654 I performed the update to my iphone to get the latest version, but now it does not want to activate my phone and displays the error message that the activation server is not available. Tried itunes and no luck. help anyone

    I have an iphone 3gs of which I attempted the latest IOS pdate through itunes. Now, it shows the original start up screen and when it gets to the activiaton screen it displays an error message stating: Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Help anyone??

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • I cannot open my Itunes? I keep getting this message: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-50) Help! I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get the message that ITunes.msi cannot be found.

    Why am I getting this message when I try to open my ITunes: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)."?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error14
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"  The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

    Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

  • ITunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occurred (13014)

    Ysterday I bought a brand spanking new Acer Aspire 7551 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and installed the latest version of iTunes (64 bit) on it.
    I started iTunes with great anticipation because I so looked forward to syncing my iPhone with my Very Own Laptop.
    Alas, iTunes did not start. Instead I received a message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)." Much Googling and reinstalling later the problem remains.
    I have already deleted the genius files and rebooted several times. All to no avail. If anyone can propose a solution, I would be most grateful. Needless to say, I'd be happy to post any further info that can help to solve this problem.

    Okay fixed my own problem. I don't know how or why, but it appears that I lost permissions for my iTunes folder in documents and settings. It took some messing with file permissions to get access to delete it, but I finally got it.
    Once it was gone, no more issue. iTunes launched, created a new iTunes folder, and good as new.

  • The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (-50).

    I was using iTunes with Windows 7 without problem. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes (Version 9.2?) and now everytime I try to start up iTunes I get the message "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (-50)." I tried everything in the Online help section of the Apple website for Windows 7, including "repair", deleteing iTunes and reinstalling, and nothing works. What is going on? Does anybody else have this problem?

    Thanks. I actually looked at some of your previous advice on problems with Windows 7 and I disconnected my computer to wired and wireless networks, closed all programs, started CHKDSK and rebooted the computer and that solved the problem. iTunes is running perfectly so far. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention when CHKDSK finished and didn't get to see the report so can't let you know what it actually did, but it accomplished what all the the other solutions I tried did not (set up new user account, remove/replace preferences, remove/replace libraries. remove/reinstall iTunes, etc.).
    Thanks again for your attention to this issue.

    I feel for you -
    When I installed the 8.0.1 patch on my iMac, I noticed that iTunes quit working correctly after importing some new tracks. It would not quit. I had to force quit but then it would not open correctly the next time and it would not quit. From that point on, my computer went down hill. When I installed the latest security patch and executed a reboot, the system would not come up. I used my 10.5 DVD and repaired permissions, etc. Nothing worked. I booted off my backup drive and everything works fine.
    Even on my backup drive iTunes will not come up. I don't get an error but the Dock icon says "Application Not Responding". I renamed the iTunes folder and it created a new one on initial startup but it just hangs. I deleted iTunes, rebooted, re-installed iTunes and have the same thing.
    Tonight I experienced the same issue with iTunes not quitting on my MacBook Pro !
