Itunes will not open in my windows 8 laptop

Itunes will not open on my windows 8 computer..can someone please help?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

    iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open.  I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck.  I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it.  Can someone help?

  • My itunes will not open on my windows 2000

    I just got my first ipod its a 2nd generation nano, I went to support to learn what all i neded to do to get music on it. Apple support told me to dl the latest version of itunes so i did that. After I installed it, I went to the icon and clicked it and it would not open. I tried opening it all other ways you can on a comp and all i get is a little hour glass that stays on for 3 seconds and then goes away nothing loads.
    I have never had itunes on this comp ever soit couldn't be a matter of having other traces of itunes conflicting with the new version.
    I did a complete uninstall and then went through all the steps to make sure there was nothing left of itunes on my comp then i put itunes 6 on my comp and it worked fine but when i plugged my nano into my comp it told me i needed itunes version7 or higher .
    I am truly at a frustrated loss and any help would be greatly appreciated , I have a brand new ipod tha ti cannot use and i have been dying to have some music to listen to while at the gym.

  • Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Help Please.

    Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer.  iTunes will not open.  Running Windows XP. Help please.

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    ... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7.  iTunes will not open.  It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later.  I've tried reinstalling each of them.  No success.  Don't know what to try next.

    I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7.  iTunes will not open.  It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later.  I've tried reinstalling each of them.  No success.  Don't know what to try next.

    QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
    QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.
    Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979  - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

  • ITunes will not open in Windows 7, 32-bit

    I had to reinstall Windows 7.  Since then, iTunes will not open.  I have uninstalled iTunes and all related Apple products and reinstalled several times.  It tries to open up for about 3 seconds and then nothing.  Quicktime opens fine, but no iTunes.   HELP!!

    Hi, hopefully you have solved this now but if not I had a similar problem with an earlier version of iTunes.
    To solve it I had to go into the services menu and shut down a service called 'Bonjour'. Then once iTunes was loaded restart the bonjour service in order to be able to connect a device to it.
    There are also 2 other services one called 'apple mobile device' the other called 'iPod service' which are also known to cause loading problems.
    Hope this is helpful or not needed

  • Bought iPad, but iTunes will not open in Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was loaded from Windows XP SP 2.  Help

    The new version of iTunes will not open on new computer with Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was Windows XP SP2 carried over from old computer.  There seems to be some type of color incompatability.  Any help?

    Uninstalled old iTunes, deleted all old iTunes files in Program Files folder, except two that would not delete, and deleted all iTunes I could find in the registry.  Downloaded and install latest version of iTunes.  iTunes will open and quickly close with black windows, twice.  Troubleshooting says "incompatible Application."  Any suggestions?

  • TS1717 Itunes will not open, it just brings up a user account window which if ok alters shortcuts?

    Itunes will not open, it just brings up a user account window which if ok alters shortcuts?

    I have followed instructions found elsewhere to do the following:
    •“C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove (Note: delete the quotes displayed here and type again using keyboard)
    •Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    •Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
    •Restart your computer
    •Delete the the Program Files\Bonjour folder
    All successful, now there is nothing that has anything to do with iTunes , Quictime, Apple Software Update, Bonjuor,...etc on my machine, now what do I install so I can get iTunes to work on Win 7 x 64 bit edition... ?
    Thanks,
    Rick
