Why won't my iTunes window open

I am running iTunes with Windows 8.1. It seemed to be running perfectly fine a day ago, but now for some strange reason, when I try to open iTunes the little preview window shows that it is running but I cannot open the window. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that did nothing.
Please help.

  • Why won't my iTunes automatically open?

    Until recently, my iTunes account has automatically opened whenever I connected my iPod. This is not a matter of hardware; I have tried with two cables, both of which work. Is this a sign of some type of failure to communticate between my iPod and iTunes? Also, I have selected "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and applied it, so that is hopefully not part of the issue.

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • Why won't my Organizer window open?

    Suddenly, my Elements 10 won't work.  The Organizer window just opens in a minimized version at the lower left corner of the screen.  What's going on?

  • Why won't my iTunes file open on my PC?

    I have a Toshiba laptop (don't know the model or anything...) and I have the newest version of iTunes. When I click on the shortcut icon on my laptop, iTunes does not open. I have tried restarting it, right clicking on the icon and pressing 'open', and I am currently re-downloading iTunes. Will it still have my songs and playlists on it? I'm worried it won't still have the CDs and files I have downloaded into my iTunes. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix my iTunes?

    Ummm, silly question here.
    You, uhhh, DID remember that you must also copy the PDF to the other computers in order for it to open. Right?
    Some folks have a mistaken belief that by linking to a PDF they are actually causing it to somehow be stored inside the Captivate SWF so it's always there.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Why won't my iTunes stay open?

    My iTunes Store shuts down after a few seconds of being open. I've restarted my phone, but that didn't change or fix the problem. Please help!

    Hi, Kat_Winchester96. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple of things you can try.  The first would be to close all applications and multitasking and power cycling the device.  Make sure your device has been updated to the most current iOS. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    If the issue persists, try signing out of all services that require signing into your Apple ID and then signing back in.

  • Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

    After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open.  Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't.  It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops.  Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

    I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

    >Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

  • Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?

    Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?
    "Firefox can be configured to restore all windows and tabs that were open when the application is closed or terminated unexpectedly. This article describes the circumstances under which your session is restored and how you can configure it."
    I have it set up, in "Tools", "Options", etc., for my windows and tabs to reopen & be restored to the webpages that they were previously at before I, for one reason or another, restarted my computer! But, after I restart my computer and the Firefox browser, it always goes to my homepage; the windows & tabs NEVER restart as they should!
    It wasn't always like this. It has only been within the last few weeks that this has become a constant and consistent problem. I assume that a Firefox update somehow disabled something & that's why it isn't working properly but, whatever...
    How do I fix this so that my windows & tabs reopen as they should!?

    Have you checked to make sure that under>> Options >> General >> That the startup behavior is appropriately? I had the same problem after upgrading and setting my homepage. It should be set to "show my windows and tabs from last time".
    Just re-read your post. sounds like you've tried this already.

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • Why don't my Itune store open in ITUNES?

    Why don't my Itune store open in my Itune.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
