ITunes stopped after upgrade to 10.2 in Windows 7

I use iTunes for 5 years now and never had a problem. Today I upgraded to the latest 10.2 version and I can't get iTunes started. No issues with my other apps. I tried recovery but that didn't help me either. Please help. I hope Apple makes a patch for this asap.

Having upgraded to 10.2 on two Dell desktops running Win7 SP1 updated by the windows update process
One ,the elder of the two machines worked fine without any iTunes issues
The newer Dell however went in to the phase of issues noted in the forum slow crashing not recognising iPhone ,ipad for minutes etc
in particular if I tried to add an mp3 file iTunes immediately crashed and shut down but then was VERY buggy if coaxed back to life
Tried all the remedies on Apple Knowledge base and every suggestion listed here over last few days
nothing made any difference even removing SP1
However one posting mentioned the Win7 updating process and the method used
So I downloaded the win7 sp1 iso file from Microsoft download site
uninstalled SP1 and applied the iso file
Updated and after a couple of reboots now everything works exactly as it should
It appears that as the poster who suggested this said there is something wrong with the
update process of SP1 which is not present on the full 2gb iso file and also possibly something to do with the age of the hardware
Any way hope this may help someone and I am back up and running

I don't think is an Apple issue as you can see from the above

  • Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5

    Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5.
    I tried it with a differnt Iphone and the results are the same. Any suggestions?

    Hi JZN1994,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that after updating your computer to 10.9.3 iTunes stops responding when an iPhone is connected to it. There may be few different steps you will need to go through to get this resolved. I suggest working through the steps in the attached article.

  • Can't update iTunes Match after upgrading to 11.1.5

    Hi,
    Is anyone else (in Australia) having problems with iTunes Match after upgrading to iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac? I’ve found that whenever I play a track (i.e. update the play count), set a rating or edit a playlist, all my cloud songs become greyed out, the updates are not synced to the cloud (don’t appear on other devices), the iTunes Cloud music icon gets a lightning bolt through it (lost connect), and then my changes are lost. I can reconnect as many times as I like (by clicking on the cloud icon or restarting iTunes) and for a while everything ‘looks’ fine (can download and play songs) but actually nothing is saved to the cloud and the lightning bolt appears again when I make any of the above updates. I have another computer that still has 11.1.4 and iTunes Match is working fine on it.
    James

    Thanks Michael, I’d already tried both those (including applying the latest OS X security update and restarting). I kept trying to use iTunes Match every hour, and eventually it started working on my 11.1.5 computer and has staying working for the rest of the day. 11.1.4 was working the whole time.

  • Itunes stops after a few foto's

    Itunes stops after 10 or twelve foto's synchronising with my Apple TV. Therefore other devices aren;t synchronising either!

    However, in itunes > STORE (below LIBRARY) > Purchased, you can download All purchased apps (or Apps not in your Library) to you PC. I choose All > Download, two hour downloading, Apps under LIBRARY became 410 compare was 190. Number 327 became 553.
    I have no idea why the numbers don't add up.

    recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
    Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
    I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
    Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

  • The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • ITunes whacky after upgrading to lates iTunes

    I upgraded my iTunes last week and ever since I am having trouble with my iTunes. When I insert a CD, it takes forever
    to read the titles from CDBD or even to play. The radio stations stop playing midway and I get the message that it is streaming. I never ever had this issue before, but **** broke loose after upgrading.

    Welcome to Discussions, hariki. Have you tried repairing permissions? Sometimes updates can mess with established permissions, it's always a good idea to repair them both before and after a download. (To do this, go to Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility>Repair Permissions)
    Please reposrt back with results,

  • Deleting album artwork from Itunes 6 after upgrading to Itunes 7

    I recently upgraded to Itunes 7, and I want to delete some of my album artwork that I added in Itunes 6. I backed up my entire library and imported it into Itunes 7 after I installed it. Some of my album artwork consists or low-res clipart, and I want to update my entire library with new album artwork. When I choose "get album artwork", Itunes doesn't update my music with the new artwork. I also tried the "get info" submenu, and there isn't any artwork listed in the window, though it shows the artwork in the album srcolling window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    This info is included in the song tag, you have to edit the individual song tag to change the artwork. To do this, right click on the song with bad artwork, then choose the first option "get info". A box will open, click on the artwork tab (you may have several pieces or artwork here--delete the ones you don't like. It's possible the good art you want will be one of the choices. Make sure this appears first in the list and then you'll see it in iTunes. If you need to add the artwork, click the add button and browse/find the artwork you want to add.
    Hope this helps!

  • Lost iTunes Library after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 HELP PLEASE

    I have two issues on hand : after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I opened iTunes and all of my music was gone except for about 1,000+ songs (3.2 GB) when I originally had about 20GB worth of songs. How can I recover my full library into iTunes ?
    Second issue: when importing new CDs into iTunes 7.7 it only plays a fraction of each song before moving on to another song, whereas iTunes shows that I have the full song imported.
    I really appreciate someone's help here, and does the latest version of iTunes have a bug ??

    Further to my last post, I find that the purchased songs have been retained in the iTunes Library of my Mac Book - is there any way iI can restore them to the iMac?

  • Itunes 'corrupt' after upgrading to current version?

    I have macbook, running snow leopard 10.6.8.  This weekend I responded to the prompt to update Itunes to the newest version.  After upgrading, I got the message that Itunes was corrupt (and it would not open or run).  After searching for answers (including trying to update it again), I finally went through the process of deleting the corrupt Itunes.
    Then I have attempted to download the latest Itunes from the Apple site; when I click 'download' I am taken immediately to the 'thank you for downloading Itunes' page, but nothing ever downloads.....
    Any help/input would be most appreciated.
    thanks,
    Randy

    Thanks but ITunes is gone (deleted corrupt version), and would not open before I deleted it. I had previously tried Yiur suggestion, then iTunes wouldn't even open after that. 

  • ITunes problems after upgrading - progress bar "updating library"

    after upgrading iTunes to the latest version I open iTunes and a progress bar appears "updating library". After a few seconds it stucks and I do not get a response at all. I have to cancel the program in the Windows Task Manager. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers

    You might try rebooting your computer. Select Shutdown and let the computer turn off. Then start it up again and see if the problem is corrected.

For example it is open now and the safari browser is open ant the itunes is working but I have to wait long time until iTunes opened. And there is onother thing it looks strange - I mean it doesn't look like other applications it's graphical interface is very poor and looks like programs from past.

  • ITunes error after upgrade to 7.1.1

    After upgrading to version 7.1.1, I receive the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" whenever I attempt to start the program.
    iTunes ran fine before the upgrade. All other audio software programs are running fine. Thanks for any help...

    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    the following document may be of some help:
