Itunes won't start after Win 7 wakes up

I've noticed a lot of Win 7 users not able to launch iTunes or it takes many minutes. I found by accident that it only happens after my Win 7 PC has been in sleep mode. If I re-boot my PC it starts almost instantly? Anyone found an answer to this? In the mean time I'm just turning power saving off.

I have now found that the problem relates to a USB hard drive which I disconnected a while ago. after re-connecting it iTunes works fine. I am guessing that iTunes was searching for files on the missing drive? anyway I hope this may help someone else.

After updating to OSX 10.9.3, my iTunes won't open. If I try to drag it to trash, I get the message "iTunes can't be modified or deleted because it is required by OS X".

ITunes won't start after reinstalls and iPhone problems

last time I think I clicked Never Register on iTunes after plugging my iphone,downloaded some podcasts to my phone,everything seems alright before that,but then my iphone won't sync properly with itunes...
iTunes keeps saying Syncing Iphone (sometimes it stops,but it doesnt say Sync is complete,on the left side it's still syncing) but after a while my iPhone goes back to its normal state (Slide to unlock,not to cancel) after I cancelled a sync (it took more than 2 hours,that's why I cancelled it,after the cancellation it became even more messed up)...
Deleted the podcasts and deauthorized iTunes store,still doesnt work.
What's the solution to sync my iphone normally again??
I did reboot on both my iphone and PC and they don't work,
I'm using Vista 32bit and Iphone 3G 2.2.1
I tried updating iTunes to 8,1,now everytime I connect my phone via usb,iTunes will crash....removed iTunes and installed previous versions including 8.01 and 8.02...still not working
after I installed 8.0,iTunes won't even open...
removed itunes and installed other versions including 8.1 again,they won't even open even after I completely removed iTunes & quicktime and used windows install cleanup...,reboot many times,deleted Temp folder....still doesnt work...
but the Itunes and iTunes helper processes are there on the task manager,I cant even kill them
sorry,I don't know where to post this...
please help,guys..
thanks

I have update iTunes to the latest version yesterday.
Up to her everything is fine. Due to ther issues I
had to go back to the Windows RESTORE point previous
to the iTune installation.
When I start iTunes I get the following pop-up:
"iTunes cannot runbecause some of its required files
are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
I do that and when iTunes try to connect to the store
it shows broken links and the whole thing hangs.
I have tried to unistall iTunes, but it does not help
at all. This means that I do not have connection to
iPod. I cannot believe that I have to re-install all
my PC bcause of this.
I have discovered that QuickTime is corrupted. I cannot unistall it and if I try to re-install it nothing happens.
Is there a manual way of removing it from the system?
Which keys/modules do I need to remove?

ITunes won't start after upgrading to v9 on WinXP

I dutifully upgraded to iTunes 9, and now it won't start. It attempts to start, and I get a few moments of the hourglass icon. And the Task Manager shows the iTunes process is running. But the UI never appears. I tried deleting via the control panel and reinstalling but same problem. Never had a problem before - this is aggravating since I don't have access to my library and there doesn't seem to be a way to downgrade back to v8. I turned off (actually deinstalled) Norton but that didn't help. Tried disabling a bunch of start up processes at boot time and that didn't help either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar issue. After doing the upgrade, tried to open iTunes & got an error message saying that I needed the latest Quicktime version and telling me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Doing so resulted in the same error message.
Per a suggestion in another thread here, I repaired Quicktime (control panel- add/remove programs- Quicktime- repair). This disappeared iTunes but once I reinstalled it the problem went away.

Itunes won´t start after upgrading to the latest version....

Hello everyone. After updating to the latest version of itunes it won´t start.I get the message itunes will be shut down due to the data execution prevention. After i followed the troubleshooting guide from windows to shut down the dep for itunes i get the message: This program cannot run without dep. pls help

Quicktime doesn´t work properly. The program will be shut down. You´ll be noticed when a solution is available
Many thanks.
That and the iTunes DEP error suggest that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Itunes won't start after upgrading

I just upgraded to itunes for windows 6.0.5 and now it won't start. The windows error report box comes up. Please help!

don't be silly, zenbeer. let's wait until the original poster tells us explicitly what message s/he's getting. there are at least two different error messages that miracon could be getting that fit the information that we've received so far.
why on earth did you reinstall Windows in response to that error message?
Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a 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 Standalone Installer
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 start after update

Hi,
I just upgraded my ITunes using the normal Apple update process when I was prompted - and now I-Tunes won't start at all.
I can see the ITunes.exe start in Windows Task Manager....then it just shuts down again.
Any ideas ?

I tried another solution :
1. Un-install I-Tunes
2. In-install Bonjour
3. Reboot
4. Install latest I-Tunes
This seems to have fixed the problem.
So it looks like BONJOUR IS THE PROBLEM.

ITunes won't start after upgrade--error message

When I launched iTunes after upgrading to 6.0.1, I got the following message after agreeing to the usual legal terms:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder."
Any suggestions?

Jeff,
Thank you for the reply and your suggestions.
Yes, I did take a look in the Music folder--and no, the file was not there. I then used Spotlight and did find an iTunes Music folder, but when I tried to copy it to the Music folder I got error message -36, saying that parts of the file weren't readable and, therefore, not copyable.
I also used my disk utility to repair permissions and re started the computer---with the same results.
I'm not sure what else to try and may take my computer to my local expert.
best,
als

Itunes won't start after lion installation

just installed Lion on my mid 2007 Imac and now can't get Itunes 10.6 to launch successfully, after repeated restarts. I did a software update after Lion install and there was some Itunes data among other things. Any ideas on remedying this? Thanks.
Mike

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent one and post the contents – again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

ITunes Won't Start After Airport Upgrade

After running the latest upgrade to Airport Utility and upgrading the firmware on my Airport Extreme, I lost all access to my iTunes library that is housed on a Drobo attached to the Airport. When trying to start iTunes, I get error "13005".
I normally access my library from both a Windows XP/SP3 box and a MacBook. I have tried the following steps:
1) deleted genius.itdb and extras.itdb.
2) Repaired iTunes install.
3) Removed and reinstalled iTunes.
4) Plugged the Drobo directly into the Windows box (no airport or USB hub).
Still no love. I was able to rebuild my library via my MacBook, and I created a Windows XP user account which can successfully run iTunes and see the library once I rebuilt it. However my main XP account (with Admin access) still cannot start iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218
I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

HALP!!! iTunes won't start after 9.1 update

Hi
I was prompted to install the iTunes/Quicktime update on March 30th and - without thinking did so. The update seemed to go well with no errors. On April2nd, I went to start iTunes and it refused with Windows indicating files were missing.
After hesitating, I backed up all of my music and iTunes config files and then - using the Installer package from Mar 30th - de-installed itunes and then tried to re-install. I am now unable to re-install and the Apple installer tells me
" There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this installer, could not run. Please re-install".
Some things I have noted:
1. The iTunes / Quick time de-install does not get rid of all Apple components in the Windows Program listing (Control panel)
2. The iTunes de-install does not seem to get rid of the iTunes folder under "MyMusic".
I am now without ANY iTunes although my music and preferences are safe.... Still, this is a drag!
HALP

2. The iTunes de-install does not seem to get rid of the iTunes folder under "MyMusic".
Don't touch that one! It's got your library and content files in it.
1. The iTunes / Quick time de-install does not get rid of all Apple components in the Windows Program listing (Control panel)
Have you tried working through the following document prior to reinstalling?

ITunes won't start after installation, get error "iTunes has encountered.."

I've been reading up on this a bit in the forums, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to fix this problem. Just today, I tried to install iTunes to my month-old computer. Installation seemed to go fine. However, now when I click on "iTunes" my computer goes immediately to:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I tried the MSConfig thing and that didn't do anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work, either.
What I find weird is that after uninstalling, I try to install QuickTime all by itself, and the computer informs me there is already a version installed, but I never did and it does not show up under "control pannel, add or remove programs."
If this helps, I copied this from the windows error:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.2.16 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
I don't understand why this is happening, as this is a new computer, and I am the only user. This is XP Media Center Edition 2005
Please help! I can provide whatever info is necessary for help!
HP Windows XP

Read elsewhere of two files that needed to be removed in C:\windows\system32 in order for Quicktime to reinstall successfully. Upon doing so, I was then able to install iTunes. Seems to be working now!

ITunes won't start after upgrade

Since I upgraded iTunes everytime I try to start it up I get the following error;
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."
Anyone else having this issue?
Dave

QuickTime doesn't appear in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs so I can't remove it. I can see QuickTimePlayer.exe in C:\Program Files\QuickTime, but when opened I get the error
"Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
Okay, let's try swapping your QuickTime out by other means.
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, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
