Itunes wont open with windows 7

I've tried a previous post that suggested a bonjour fix and it didn't work for my problem.I really hate that EVERY time I do an itunes update I go through major issues to work out the bugs!!! I love my ipod, but this is becoming more of a problem than the thing is worth to me.

Enable the guest account in Windows 7 and see if itunes will open in that account.
This will tell us if it's a user-specific problem, or system-wide.
Then work through the steps here,depending on what you find in the guest account.

  • Itunes wont open on Windows XP

    I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

    hi Singh!
    is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):

  • Itune wont open with iphone attached

    iTunes wont open when I attach my iPhone to the computer with the same USB ccable I have been using.  I can open iTunes then all works fine.  In iTunes the option to open iTunes when phone is attached is clicked on.

    Check out this Apple document -> iTunes for Mac won't open automatically when connecting device.
    You'll have to disable the "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" option before you can choose to have iTunes open when the iPhone is connected.

  • Itunes wont open with new os x yosemite

    Hello,
    I'm trying to open my iTunes music but it doesn't open at all with the new os x yosemite
    thanks,

    Hello Julio.26,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to help resolve this issue where your iTunes application will not launch on your Mac, I'd like you to please follow the directions in the article below to reinstall iTunes.
    Download the latest installer
    Open Safari or another web browser.
    Go to the iTunes download webpage and click the Free Download button.
    Make sure that the Mac OS X version is selected on that page.
    Click the Download button to start the download.
    Once the file is downloaded, a new Finder window appears containing two items (below). If a Finder window doesn't appear, locate the iTunesX.dmg file (where X is the iTunes version number) on the desktop (or wherever your downloads go) and double-click it to display these items:
    A "Read Before You Install iTunes" file. This document contains the system requirements for the version of iTunes, and may contain other useful information about installing.
    An iTunes.mpkg file (this is the installer file itself).
    Install iTunes
    Quit iTunes if it is currently open.
    Double-click the iTunes.mpkg file. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    Follow the instructions in the installer screens. If all of the installation components appear unchecked and dimmed (unavailable, and therefore not installable), refer to Mac OS X iTunes installer components are disabled.
    After the installation has completed, quit the Installer and restart the computer. The new version of iTunes appears on your hard disk in your Applications folder.
    Opening iTunes
    It's possible that clicking the iTunes icon in your Dock or double-clicking an iTunes icon on your desktop could open an older version of iTunes. Open iTunes from the Applications folder to be sure you are opening the right version:
    Double-click your hard disk.
    Double-click the Applications folder.
    Double-click the iTunes icon.
    If you notice another copy of iTunes in the Dock after following these steps, here's a way to take care of that:
    Quit iTunes.
    Drag the iTunes icon out of the Dock.
    Drag the iTunes icon from the Applications folder to the Dock.
    Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Itunes wont work with windows 7

    i tunes wont run on windsws7

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7.  I'm not sure what information I should post to make diagnosing this problem easier.  (I'm not very tech savy.)  I have a 16GB Itouch and I'm running the 10.4.1 version of Itunes.  I've tried using Itunes' diagnostic tools but it just doesn't see my device.  Any advice?

  • Itunes wont open in windows 7 32 bit

    Itunes will not open in windows 7.  I get a message stating that Apple support is not loaded.

    Someone else suggested uninstalling Quicktime.  I did that, and it worked for my 64bit Windows 7.  Good luck!

    thank you

    windows installer has stopped working
    a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
    ... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
    Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

  • Itunes wont open after windows renamed the external HDD's name

    My computer renamed my external HDD's letter designation from F: to G: and iTunes would not open anymore, it would say the itunes folder cannot be found or created and it is required, the original folder should be located within "my music" folder.
    I tried everything including reinstalling itunes many time but it would not work, i even tried to delete the whole itunes folder and imported my roomate's itunes folder on my computer and itunes still would not open.
    I tried to use windows power toy program to change the special folder address, but the folder "my music" is missing from the list while everything else is on there.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated

    Well you did far more work and possibly screwed up your pc for an easy fix. You can change the drive letter through the utility called "Computer Management"
    If you open windows exploder, you should see a "My Computer" listed in the left window. Rt click on that and select Manage from the context menu. In the left window you should see Disk Management. Here is the list of all drives and their letters. You know unless you added a drive that was already designated F then windows shouldn't rename drive letters without you manually changing it.
    When you say you deleted the whole itunes folder what do you mean? Did you delete C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\My Music? If you cant recreate this folder, then my suggestion would be to use TweakUI to reset the My music folder in the windows OS.

  • Itunes wont Open with Vista Service pack 2

    My itunes stopped working a while ago and so i decided to delete it, i then reformatted my laptop and reinstalled vista back to the way it was when i first got my laptop and by wonders itunes worked. However since i have completed the updates that windows has given me, including service pack 2 it has stopped working again due to date execution prevention. does anyone know how i can solve this issue

    This is a worldwide issue with several audio drivers after a recent Windows update.  Microsoft's website shows a disclaimer saying that it is not responsible and that we should approach the Original Equipment Manufacturer about the problem.  Obviously, our OEM is HP who, to date, have neither communicated a fix to their customers, nor have they issued a recall.  <text deleted>
    Please see the other thread in this forum entitled:  HP Quicktouch On Screen Display has stopped working and no audio output device is detected.
