ITunes on Windows 7 won't work even after reinstall.

I've got a friends Windows 7 PC here.
iTunes has gone AWOL. It keeps asking for permission to makes changes and then won't start but the process is running in task manager (and the icon has that blue and yellow shield indicating it requires elevated priviliges).
I couldn't use the built in uninstaller as it just sits there doing nothing when I open it saying "preparing to uninstall" or something, so I used Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it and any other Apple software I could see on the computer.
And then downloaded and reinstalled it. Exact same problem. Asks for permission to make changes and
Someone suggested disabling "Apple Push" in MSCONFIG but that hasn't made any difference either. Apparently that has to do with a process called APSDaemon.exe
Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to backup his whole computer and reinstall Windows and everything else for him from scratch.

Same problem here.
I am at witts end. I have uninstalled EVERYTHING labeled APPLE on my pc and restarted and reinstalled and I have the exact same problems.
*Double Click* to open iTunes. *Wait* ... Nothing Happens. *Open* Task Manager. Itunes.exe *32 is running under Processes.
Nothing is visible. Most of the time I can't even end the itunes process. I have to open up the comand prompt and type TASKKILL /IM /itunes.exe just to close it.
Is a windows reboot the only option? I have followed all of those links the support team keeps posting and to no avail.

ITunes won't work, even after reinstall

Hi,
iTunes just bounces once or twice in the dock when I click on it, and refuses to open. It goes back to it's closed state after that, as if I never clicked on it at all. I've trashed it and all of its prefs, reinstalled twice... nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
Thanks!

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.

I want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Pages, Numbers, Keynote won't launch even after reinstall

After a new OS (10.5.8) install none of my iLife (09) or iWork (09) apps worked. I reinstalled iLife successfully. But, my iWork apps won't launch even after a reinstall from the original DVD and updating to 4.0.4
My trouble shooting steps so far have been a reinstall from DVD, software update, permissions repair.
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Application Support/iWork '09/Frameworks/Inventor.framework/Versions/C/Inventor

ITunes won't launch (even after reinstall) Win XP PRO

Hey everyone,
I've been using iTunes for about 18 months now. The program is great and I can't imagine using my computer without it. I've recently finished adding artwork to all of my albums (over 300), which I've searched for myself in google, so you can imagine my frustration right now, as I'm unable to launch the program
There isn't really much to say. I try to open the program, but right after I double click the iTunes icon, I get a windows error message (the kind of error that allows you to send an error report to microsoft.. screenshot http://tinyurl.pl/rnxz - you probably won't understand the language, but maybe it'll help somehow).
I tried completely removing iTunes from my computer and then installing it again - the exact same error pops up.
It is also the same whenever I connect my iPOD and it tries to launch iTunes. So this basically means that I'm unable to update or sync my iPOD at the moment
Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong here?
PS. the problem didn't start after I installed the newest version of iTunes! It started suddenly. One day I come back home and try to launch iTunes, and it won't budge.

my Polish isn't good, but i can recognise an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message box in many different languages.
first let's check to see if this is associated with a broken or missing QuickTime. (itunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work properly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

Popup window won't appear, even after allowing website in IE 10's popup blocker

I have tried desperately to download iTunes onto my Win7 computer, but even in Google Chrome 35 & IE 10, the popup window refuses to appear, & therefore I cannot download iTunes. What else is causing this? Is there a direct download link that I can email to myself to download iTunes? My iPhone 4s is almost full, & I need to take off some files to allow more room.

I'm using Chrome 35 (latest build):
Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes
Click on the green Download button (top right).
On the next screen, click the Download Now button
The installer should download immediately - no pop-up window - by default it'll be saved in C:\Downloads.

Itunes stopping working even after reinstall - help please

I have not been able to access / watch anything stored on my iTunes on my laptop. every time I click on it I get the following message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Can anyone help? I've tried the QTMovieWin.dll advice but its still not working?
Cheers

Hi Ellenred,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. Did you remove not only iTunes but all of its components in Windows as well when you reinstalled? When you remove and reinstall iTunes, all components must be removed in order to ensure it works properly when reinstalled. If you have already done this, please let me know. If you need to go through this process please use the information provided in the articles below.
I am not sure what version of Windows you have so I will include articles for all versions starting with XP and up.

QuickTime not working even after reinstall

For some reason QuickTime is not working in Safari 5 for a page on my website even after a reinstall of QT 7.6.6
Yet for Firefox 3.6.6 it is.
I added an extension ("Deanimator") for Safari 5 a few days ago, but then removed it soon afterwards.
There is a chance this extension may be the culprit because even Firefox had QT disabled so I had to reactivate it.
Unfortunately I don't see any easy way to simply reactive QT for Safari (and as I said... I did reinstall QT 7.6.6 and restart my computer).
Any ideas? Is there something simple I am missing?
FWIW... HERE (click) is the webpage that works for Firefox but not Safari.
It is normally a popup window so it will be way off center when the link above is clicked on... but you get the idea...

QuickTimeKirk,
"I opened it using QuickTime...""...I don't see any "animation."
Strange indeed since if my very first link in my first post is clicked on (while using Firefox 3.6.6 or Camino 2.0.3) the simple animation displays.
I did open the .mov file in QT and I agree it does not animate for me either in this fashion.
I had not viewed this page, or .mov file, in some time and when I last looked (many versions back on both QT and Safari) there was no problem.
Again... very strange that it would animate in Firefox and Camino since when directly opened in QT it does not.
"The html code uses the "embed" tag but yours is missing the closing tag."
According to Apple there is no closing tag for this... and my syntax checker does not indicate a missing closing tag. Would you refer me to a URL that defines this?
Thanks.

ITunes won't open even after reinstall

Since October 1, 2012 when I clicked on desktop icon to open/launch iTunes it will not. I did nothing different, nothing has changed or been modified on my computer.
I continue to receive basic error box "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"...I have sent error reports (many). I also click on provided link to see technical reasons "Error signature AppName:itunes.exe | AppVer 10 7.0.21 | ModName:unknown | ModVer: 0.0.0.0 | Offset 0a0c1040 | Clicking on Technical Info: a mass of information but it states that this following file is incl in report: C:\DOCUME~1/User/LOCALS`1\Temp\7bd1_appcompat.txt.

I have had iTunes on my pc desktop windows xp for several years with no issues like this.
All security/firewall/virus protection etc is allowing itunes

I have plenty of space for it on my computer (esp since I have had it all this time with no issues)
I have reinstalled and clicked "repair"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice
I have clicked on the link for itunes in my start\all programs location
I have searched this support community and can not find a converstaion that has to do with no specific error box.
PLEASE HELP!!
I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

Hi Kacey,
I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

Photoshop Elements 8 stopped working, won't run even after reinstall

I'm using Vista. I installed a couple weeks ago and it's been working fine until today. On startup I keep getting the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I worked my way through most of the troubleshooting guide and when I couldn't find the preferences file to rename I figured it might be "lost" and I should just uninstall and reinstall, but that didn't fix it, it still won't start. I really need this program and it was a lot of money (for me). Getting frustrated! Anyone?

I am having the same problem and tried calling tech support was on hold for an hour and a half its
driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Did an online chat which was no help what so ever.
If I find out something I will let you know for sure...

ITunes 10.2.2 won't run, even after reinstalling it and the latest Snow Leopart update... what can I do?

Hello,
I'm using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.7. I've just updated iTunes to the latest version 10.2.2 but it keeps quitting unexpectedly upon opening it. I've tried deleting the Genius information, reinstalling it, as well as even reinstalling the latest Snow Leopard update but nothing seems to work. What can I do?
Thanks in advance for any help, and let me know if there are any questions.

sorry i get this error:

ITUNES 7 Still won't open, even after trying solutions from other topics

I have tried the following things:
Uninstall/Reinstall
Quicktime as a stand alone
Virus protection off
Trying to start Itunes with a CD
System Reboot.
None of these things have worked. Can anyone help me.

Okay,
I HAVE FOUND A WORKAROUND
This is definitely not a solution, and Apple needs to address this problem immediately, but this will do it until they pull the proverbial lead out of their proverbial apple-holes...
Right-click on the iTunes shortcut, and select "Run As"
Run it as a different user, such as Administrator. If you do not have any other users, go to Control Panel > Users and make a new user.
If you run it as a different user, it seems to work fine...
Note: The iTunes Music Library is different per user, so you may need to import all of your music again
