Itunes won't open (error) after install?

Hey everyone.
I just built a new home PC Yesterday.
(ASRock FM2A68M-HD+ with a AMD A4-7300 3.8Ghz and 4gb ddr3 Ram)
Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
I downloaded itunes, went through the installation.
And every time I open itunes it comes up with "iTunes has stopped working". And the following:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: iTunes.exe
Application Version: 12.1.0.71
Application Timestamp: 54c76235
Fault Module Name: CoreAudioToolbox.dll
Fault Module Version: 7.9.9.4
Fault Module Timestamp: 54940ab1
I have never had any problems with iTunes.. EVER.. Please help?
Regards,
Josh.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

hi Shaun!
after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
hmmm. okay, Norton is still our prime suspect here. that "running itunes.exe process that will not die" symptom is associated with the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 launch suppression problems. (people who get that also often see things like looooooong sloooooow shutdown times on the PCs and odd end program dialog boxes.)
let's try throwing the trusty Lorraine M technique at the beast. (it usually fixes the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 problems.)

Itunes won't open 'error: new itunes library'

My itunes was playing up.
Not recognising my iphone 4s.
It then told me I had to install the new itunes to make m iphone compatible with the computer.
I did so and now the itunes will not open saying "Error: New Itunes Library' WHY?!? This is really frustrating me!!
Thanks.

georgiamomma -
There are a few things you could try,but what worked for me was to download a fresh installation file from apple.
Your update got corrupted somehow. Doing the usual of going to control panel, clicking on Programs and Features, clicking on iTunes in the list and selecting REPAIR probably won't fix this issue, as sometimes repair reverts the installation to its previous version and then your iTunes Library.itl file can't open because it's from a newer version than the one REPAIR reinstalled. You can try that process, but I doubt it will work.
Do not change any files and/or their existing locations. Also, do not uninstall iTunes from your machine. Simply go to Apple's web site and download their latest version suitable for your particular computer. Once downloaded, double click the installer and follow the prompts. You should be able to launch itunes afterward, and your library will magically re-appear.
Again, DO NOT uninstall the old version, and do not rename, remove and/or replace any of the original files prior to installing the latest version over what's already on your machine. Good luck!

ITunes won't open, even after complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes/Qktime

Hello
This morning iTunes started refusing to open. When opened it bounces twice and then closes.
Strange, because I didn;t just update. It worked fine after my last update and up until the present. I'm not sure but it could have started happening after I plugged in my iPod Touch 16gb 2.0. I did that sometime this morning.
I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of both Itunes and Quicktime, and I also uninstalled Flip to Mac as I read here it could be related. Restarted my computer many times. Now, same problem, iTunes won't start.
I live in noisy Barcelona and i'm going crazy without tunes...

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine
Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
Restarted iTunes
Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

ITunes won't open - error message

When I try and launch iTunes I get this error message: "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have since unistalled and reinstalled V 11. I have also been given admin rights to my machine. I have given myself full rights to this folder. It still won't open. Now I have unistallaed it again and reinstalled V. 10. Same error message. I ran the compaibility report and it say there is an incompatible device but doesn't say which one. Any ideas? I am on a Windows 7 Fujitsu laptop. I had no problems with it until I upgraded recently to V. 11.
Thanks for any help here.

Itunes won't open error code 5,87

My itunes was working fine, and then I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and it won't open. It keeps saying "Dr. Watson was unable to attach to the process. It is possible that process exited before Dr. Watson could attach to it. Windows 2000 returned error code=5...access is denied"...before it said error code 87...now it says error code 5...I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling but it doesn't work! Please help! I desperately want my Itunes back!

okay ... that rules out various problems with DrWatson that i was able to find in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
let's try something aimed at trying to work out what the nature of the itunes problem is (the one that DrWatson is having trouble with).
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?)

Itunes won't recognize iPod after installing MediaMonkey..

Hi,
I recently switched from Itunes to MediaMonkey, and I'm very happy. But my girlfriend still uses iTunes. And now her iTunes won't recognize neither her or my iPod when I connect either of them. Windows and MediaMonkey recognizes them perfectly. iTunes just comes up with this error message:
"The software necessary to communicate with iPod isn't correctly installed. Install iTunes again before installing iPod-software."
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes a number of times. I even tried uninstalled MediaMonkey, but nothing works..
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M GOING INSANE HERE =(

ITunes won't open (error)

When I start iTunes I get this error: iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration.
What do I need to do?

Usually this issue is caused by quicktime. Try opening Quicktime and see if you recieve any errors.
Try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, then disable antivirus and security programs and reinstall iTunes from apple.com
If that doesn't work try the stand alone version of quicktime here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

Itunes won't open, even after reintallation

itunes just quit working. I uninstalled, shut down the PC, then reinstalled. It all looks good during installation...the wizard works fine, but when you try to launch you get nothing. It won't open from the shortcut on the desktop, or the program list. I don't seem to have any problems with any of the other programs on the PC...just itunes. I've googled the problem and tried those suggestions. Thanks for any help.

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine

ITunes won't open automatically after connecting iPhone

Maybe I missed the discussion on this but I did search first. I just bought an iPhone 4s and had already upgraded to iTunes 10.5. iTunes will not open when the iPhone is initially plugged in. I can manually open iTunes and it works fine. 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected.' is checked and the 'helper' process is running. Any ideas?

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.

ITunes won't open up after updating...

oh no. it won't.
i download the update, i install it succesfully, i open up iTunes and...that's it, it bumps in the dock once and then it disappears without opening up.
Then the only thing that can restore a working version of iTunes is deleting it with appDelete and reinstalling the 7.1.1 version...yes, because all the later updates won't work in any case. None of them.
anyone got an idea? actually i don't need to install the newer version of itunes, but id like to solve it
thanks

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

ITunes won't open, Error 2906

After unsuccessfully attempting to upgrade to version 7.4 of iTunes, I've been without iTunes for a year and FINALLY figured out the problem. For any of you still struggling, follow this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875
I also read that trying to open QuickTime first, before iTunes will allow QT to configure itself to iTunes and may also solve the problem.
The above link helped me, it was iTunes that had random compatibility boxes checked and was causing the problem. My iTunes now works and I couldn't be happier! Good luck!

okay, if the DLL it's mentioning has to do with QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUninstallProc, then (given that you're 32-bit) let's try the following procedure. (if it's saying something slightly different, post back to let us know what it does say.)
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes 6
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

ITunes won't open - Error 13001

Good day,
Every time I try to open iTunes, I get a message with the Unknown error 13001. I tried to fix it by uninstalling the app and intalling it again, deleting the iTunes Library and it doesn't work. When I plugged the iPhone 4S, it did't recognize it. When I open iTunes using a different user, it works fine, I don't get the error. I have read the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple, and I don't want to create a new user and transfer all the documents so I can use iTunes. I would like to know if there's another solution for this issue. Thanks.
