Itunes will not open on my computer

iTunes will not open on my computer

Hi I have the same problem. I had not used itunes for a while wanted to use it and so decided to install the update, when i tried i got an error message. When i went in the itunes directory there seemed to be no exe file i do not know why certainly consciously i did not eliminate it. So i tried downloading from the apple site which i was able to do and ran the file and confirmed the installation was complete. However itunes did not open. I tried to diagnose and it seems that there is a compatability issue whatever that means in terms of solving the problem. I tried rerunning the program and it asked whether i should replace the files not working but again after completion of installation nothing happens. any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks

    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • How do i cancel my iTunes Match subscription when iTunes will not open on my computer anymore?

    I recently deleted some programs on my computer, several of which I probably shoudn't have, and no iTunes will not open or function at all on my computer. I do not wish to continue using iTunes as I have switched phones, therefore I do not want to be automatically resubscribed to iTunes Match when this subscription ends. The only way I see iTunes working again on my computer requires several hours of searching through .dll files, and a complete system restore as a last resort, but I really dont want to do that just to install a program I dont want to cancel a service I no longer need, then uninstall that program. Is there any way to do this through apple support, online, etc...? It seems so easy to do, I just dont see any options anywhere.
    Thanks

    Hello ktkayaker
    In order to cancel iTunes Match, you would need to do within iTunes. Try just creating a new user and then see if iTunes opens up so you can cancel it. I have provided other article that will give some troubleshooting steps to resolve your issues.

  • Itunes will not open on new computer

    I am getting an error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" whenever I try to open iTunes or when I connect my iPod to my new computer. Help!

    I got that too. I've tried to uninstall and redownload it, but it doesn't work. I also can't get the old version back because I uninstalled itunes. It's ridiculous.
    It said:
    iTunes.exe has generated an errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.

  • My itunes will not open on my computer! I've uninstalled/re-installed my intunes 10.4 and quicktime countless of times, and nothing is working. Everytime I try to open my itunes it says "Quicktime error 2096", then tells me to reinstall itunes. Help?!...

    Title pretty much sums it up. I'm getting very frustrated. I've tried turning off the compatability of my Quicktime, and nothing is changed. Can anyone figure out the problem? I can't find an answer anywhere.

    Yea i got that same message to Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2096) Quicktime is required to run itunes.Please reinstall itunes, which i did so many times which did'nt work and so i started reading some of the articles on this site. there was one article i read which says right click on quicktimeplayer and click on properties then click compatibilty tab and deselect checkbox or boxes but i only deseleted one box which reads windows vista .windows 2000 or 95 or whatever so i did that opened up itunes again and still i got the same error message then i started thinkin i wonder if i should do the same thing on the itunes player click on properties, click compatibilty tab then deselect box so i did. Open up itunes hey hey presto it open up alrighty only problem i lost all my music but lucklie at backed them up on another hardrive, on my ipod & Cds...Hopefully this will help you out or anyone else...

  • HT1349 itunes will not open on my computer, and says I need to reinstall it.  When I try to reinstall itunes I get an error message error #2502 and error #2503

    When I try to open itunes I get a message that says that itunes is corupt and I needto reinstall it.  When I try to reinstall itunes Iget two error messages; error #2502 and error #2503.  How can I get itunes to work?

    Many thanks.
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open? HELP!!!!!, I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open? HELP!!!!!

    I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open on my computer... HELP!!!!

    Others are more likely to help if you stop needlessly repeating yourself and provide some details.
    What operating system? Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Mac
    Any errors?
    Also, try doing a search either here or via Google, you are more likely to get a faster resolution as there is no need to wait on others to respond.    

  • 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 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

  • 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.
