Itunes wont start up was working before

have had loads of problems trying to get itunes to work, first it was giving the error message that windows had experienced a problem and had to close. using the advice on here a downloaded quicktime and it solved the problem itunes launched and moved my music into the library it then wouldn't close and now it wont launch at all any help would be great!

it then wouldn't close and now it wont launch at all any help would be great!
a few questions before proceeding. (aimed at working out what the current issue with the launch problem is.)
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

  • Itunes wont start, computer says to download latest version 7.5

    iTunes wont start, solution computer gives it to download latest version 7.5. nut when i download it and install 7.5 on my computer, which i have done several times, it doesn't work and says i should download the latest update.....which i already have! is it Vista related, or is relating to version 7.5?....please help me!!

    I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
    "this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
    Hope that works!

  • Just updated and now iTunes wont start

    I have just updated iMac as I havn't used it for a while.
    iTunes wont start.
    Any ideas?

    My iMac just came back from the shop with a new logic board. It had been out of commission for a few months so I just did the the general software update.
    Tried clicking from the apps folder but this didnt work either.
    But....
    Got a tip from another online blog and just downloaded itunes from the apple site and reinstalled it. This fixed the problem. Had to do the same with Quiktime as well as it wouldn't open all movie types.
    Thanks for your help

  • Itunes wont start and i get no error messages

    i just downloaded itunes 7.3 and itunes wont start any ideas how to fix?

    Okay. I'm still wondering about your firewall. A "persistent" iTunes.exe in your processes is most consistent with a firewall blocking iTunes, iTunesHelper and/or QuickTime from accessing the Internet. (Norton Internet Security 2005 is by far the worst offender in this regard, but it can be produced both other firewalls too.)
    Head into the Firewalls settings and make sure that iTunes, iTunesHelper, and QuickTime are all being allowed full access to the internet.
    If iTunes still doesn't launch after making sure the firewall is correctly adjusted, reboot the PC and try the suggestion from the following document. (It's a much rarer issue, but it can also produce that persistent iTunes.exe symptom in conjunction with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.)

  • ITunes wont start up

    Hi, i had a look on this answer to a topic : itunes wont start :
    +The QuickTime problem is most likely causing the iTunes launch problem. So let's try swapping out your QuickTime again taking a few additional explicit precautions.+
    +Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.+
    +Next, we’ll manually remove any 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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)+
    +7. Restart your computer.+
    +Next, we'll 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".+
    but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
    and i cant get rid of it. Pls help. Any ideas? Thx. J

    but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
    Let's try getting the program uninstalled by other means then.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
    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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer
    Does the repair install go through properly now? Or do you get another error message when you try the repair install?

    Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.

  • Is the Apple touch ID disabled on IPhone 6 ? Was working before, now it won't work.

    Was wondering if Apple disabled the touch ID.It was working before on my I phone 6, not it no longer works. I rebooted my phone and updated to the latest IOS but still not working.

    I'm glad you got things sorted out, but I wanted to make a quick comment on the link you provided, in case someone else found this thread via Google.
    The link you provided was for a generic story written in Sept. 2013, over a year ago. If you read the article, it talked about the beginning of the fingerprint technology and the fact that Apple was using technology over and above what most fingerprint readers were using. It also said that something could happen, but does not indicate any evidence that it has. The only evidence it cites is a Mythbusters show where they try it on a fingerprint scanner, not a iPhone, so the comment that Apple was having security risks is a conjecture on your part. Understand, I'm not trying to chastise you, just to let others know that this really isn't a problem where Apple has made a decision to disable the technology based on this article. The article does say that Apple is using a better technology than most in developing their fingerprint scanner. So the statement that Apple was having security issues is not true.

  • Itunes wont start in Windows7 Professional 64-bit, it used to work fine now it won't start!

    OK, So my itunes use to work fine until yesterday when I went to open it. It wont start and I tried many different things. Unistalled, re-installed, removed everything apple related (one of the apple support articles told me to try that) and that didn't work either. I know this question may have been posted earlier but I can't find anything for this specific issue (win7 pro, 64bit).
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help, iTunes wont start

    I was using iTunes this morning and it was working fine. I get back this afternoon and when I click on the iTunes logo in my dock, it jumps one time, the arrow appears under it, then the arrows go away and the icon stops jumping. That's it, no error message, no nothing. I attempted to rectify the situation by uninstalling iTunes, then re-downloading it from Apple and installing it. I installed it ok, went to open it and it did the same thing. I moved my iTunes Library, thinking there might be something wrong in there, and it still wont start up. This is the first problem I have had of any kind since I've had this Powerbook, it'll be a year this October. Can anyone help?
    Powerbook G4, 15in 1.67 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Try these steps
    But I would start with the standalone quicktime install step within the link below, before you try everything else. Make sure to disable antivirus when installing...
