My Itunes will not open, please help

I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open. I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
My PC is running Windows 7. I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
One error I seem to have caught is as follows:
Problem Event Name     BEX
Application     itunes.exe
Version     10.7.0.21
timestamp     504d85d9
Fault Module Name Quicktime.qts_unloaded
Fault Module Version     0.0.0.0.
If someone has some suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

TS1717 iTunes will not open- please help!

My iTunes will not open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same message keeps showing up when I try to open iTunes. The error reads "C\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
Please Help!!!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:

The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

ITunes will not open, please help

the instruction at "0x0079f791" referenced memory at "0x7ffe0304." the memory could not be "written"
This is the error received by my friend when she tries to start her iTunes, and I was wondering if anyone else had seen this; It sounds more like a memory allocation error than an error with iTunes, but I figure it's worth a shot... any idea what's going on there and how to fix it?
Thanks!

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.

Itunes Icon bounces, will not open PLEASE HELP!?

I have an Imac G4 running 10.4.11. I am/was using Itunes 7.6.4. About a month ago afer downloading and installing updates from the system updater, My Itunes stopped working. When I attempt to open the app either from the dock or from the applications folder, the Icon will bounce once, sometimes two or three times, then stop, and the App will never load. I tried repairing permissions, no response. I tried removing the "com.apple.itunes.plis" file from User>Library>Preferences because i saw it in a forum for a similar problem on this site, no response. I backed up my music, deleted itunes, and reinstalled, no response. I deleted the application, then attempted to install an older version of itunes 7.5, same result.
I dont know if it matters, but i have a Shuffle model A1204, and an Iphone. I am at a loss. I have all my discs that came with the computer, and I'm up for trying anything. Im at whits end. Please help.

You may have to reinstall the OS or even upgrade to Leopard. By the way, get a new mac if you want to upgrade.

Itunes 7.0.2 will not open- please help!

I have just downloaded the new itunes 7.0.2. It downloads seemingly successfully and the icon appears on my desktop but if I try to open it an hourglass appears for a second, then disappears and then nothing happens at all. It refuses to open at all and gives no error message.
Please help!!

Make sure your Windows software is up to date. I was having the exact same problem, but then I went to microsoft.com, updated my software (I don't use the automatic updates), rebooted, then removed iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime completely from my computer (using add/remove programs in the Control Panel), rebooted, then reinstalled iTunes 7, and now it is working perfectly.
Also check to make sure your anti-virus software firewall is allowing full access to itunes.exe, ituneshelper.exe, quicktimeplayer.exe, qttask.exe, and qtinfo.exe.
Hope this helps. Only took me five hours to get mine working.

My iTunes will not open! :-( Help!!!!!

When I try to open it I get the hourglass for a second, then it's gone and nothing happens. I have completely uninstalled all Apple programs and reinstalled many times, including twice with two different older versions (always completely removing everything before reinstalling again.) I have "repaired" Quicktime and completely deleted it all together. After I try to open it is not in the "applications" of the Task Manager, but it does show it is running in the "processes". I have run the CCleaner, I have made hidden files visible and deleted the SC info folders. I have changed some other settings that I read about from different discussions, but nothing has worked! I am kind of computer stupid, but with easy to follow directions, I can get things done, so hopefully whoever is amazing enough to help me will bear with me because I do not know my computer stuff too well. Please, please help me!

I have also created a new account, can't open it and I tried it in safe mode.

ITunes will not open, Need help!

i recently had my computer Restored(cleared everything except what came installed on it right out of the box)
before i restored my computer i had both iTunes and quicktime installed and it worked flawlessly. after i restored my computer and reinstalled iTunes/Quicktime ( 7.0.2) it doesnt seem to be opening.
i click on the icon to open iTunes and get a message that says:
iTunes
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
then it has (- Debug - Send Error Report - Don't Send) as options to do.
i have uninstalled itunes and quicktime about 3 times and still having this issue... please help!
Tried :run msconfig--and still no help
if anyone has any options for me PLEASE email me at: [email protected]

thanks for the help....
after searching for about another half hour i came across this post.. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800151&tstart=135
i followed the directions in here and then i finally got it. after you install the quicktime stand alone version, check and make sure it works as stated in that post... then install the iTunes. when i then opened itunes it said that i had a previous version of quicktime and that iTunes requires the newer version of quicktime.
- go to control pannel add/remove programs then scroll down to quicktime
- there should be two(2)Quicktime programs installed.
- click "click here for support information"
- then you should see which version of Quicktime is installed---do this to both of the quicktimes installed.
- whichever has the lower version number ex: 7.0.1 and 7.0.3... delete the 7.0.1 version.
- after deletion then go to the quicktime version that you did not uninstall-in the example i used (7.0.3) click -CHANGE- then -REPAIR- on the following window that repairs.
this should then repair the version that is installed so that iTunes and quicktime function properly. run quicktime and make sure that it works. if it works then close the programs completely and make sure that it is "exit ed" from the bottom right hand of the screen.
after this run iTunes. if it works Fantastic!!
if not try to uninstall iTunes and quicktime and then follow the directions that "Stephenb." has posted
Hope this helps.. Email me for ?s if desired

I have windows xp. itunes has worked for me before and i don't remember exactly but i think it was right around when i downloaded the new update.
i don't know if the remaining few options will fix my problem. any help?

I had a similar problem and it proved to be very complex to resolve. QuickTime would not fully uninstall (despite following all the instructions on this forum multiple times) and in the process a number of files were corrupted. It took a pretty skilled technician (from Dell) about 2 1/2 hours of labor to clean up everything, using some third party software called 'QuickTime Killer' among other steps. He had to clean up the registry manually with Regedit, and used a tool called X-Cleaner to get rid of corrupt files. It seemed that the multiple uninstall/reinstall processes caused more problems since QuickTime does not uninstall properly. This was on a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows XP Media Edition and SP2. If you have tried for a while without success, I would suggest engaging a technician with very strong XP skills -- it will save you time in the long run.

Apps will not open please help

When i try to open some of my apps on my 3rd gen ipod touch they will open and then close before i can do anything. what do i do?

Before you try the previously suggested options, open itunes on your sync computer and reauthorize your account, then connect the device and sync it.
I had this problem which appears to be related to the apple function to "deauthorize" your device in the event it is lost or stolen. There is also an KB out there on this as well.
Hope that this information is of value.

My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

PLEASE HELP! Itunes will NOT open

I've seen many posts with people saying their itunes will not open and gives an error message that says it has encountered a problem and has to close. Mine started doing this a couple days ago, and I believe it might have been after I updated either itunes or downloaded a Windows update.
I have tried probably everything and nothing is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime (together and seperately). I've messed with msconfig, I've even tried reinstalling itunes from the cd that came with my ipod.
Someone please help!

hi Rachel!
At the moment I do not have quicktime installed. After messing with it so much, I gave up. But the message it was giving me was the same message itunes was giving me, saying it has encountered a problem and needed to close.
that would be the current problem. itunes won't run if you don't have QT on your system. (it will give you an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message if you try to launch it under those circumstances.)
so let's try a standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again, taking a few additional precautions this time.
download and save a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.4 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 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if the install goes through fine, check some things for us.
does Quicktime launch fine, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say?
if your QT is launching fine, do you still get the "itunes has ..." message?
love, b

My Itunes will not open, please help
