After 8.1.1 update, iTunes won't make a window

No errors on update.
When iTunes starts it runs, but only has minimal menus (just "iTunes" and "Help") and doesn't have a window. "Quit iTunes" is greyed out, only way to stop it is to force quit. Tried a couple of machine restarts, no joy. How do i un-update? i prefer the previous version...

Better now. Forced Quit and Started 3 or 4 times, then it came up ok, with license agreement.

    after doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    hiya!
    I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
    not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
    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.)
    love, b

  • I use a macbook pro..My iPhone 4s refuses to be recognised by itunes even after I downloaded to updated itunes...what now?

    I use a macbook pro..My iPhone 4s refuses to be recognised by itunes even after I downloaded the updated itunes...what now?

    Hi Oneness1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    These troubleshooting steps can help if your iPhone 4S is not recognized by your MacBook Pro:
    Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
    Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
    If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
    If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
    Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
    From:
    iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • After downloading latest quicktime update, itunes store will not load

    Has anyone had this same problem after downloading latest quicktime update. iTunes store will not load.

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

    iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
    Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
    Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

    Howdy rtih,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

    iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

    Hello Aristoph,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues. If you follow the directions in order it may help:

  • After Update ITUNES Won't Open, Apparent Quicktime Problem, PLEASE HELP

    I Have recently updated my Itunes, after installation of the updates I was unable to access itunes due to a problem with Quicktime. After trying to repair quicktime, with no luck, I have uninstalled (following Apple’s support system). There were two programs labelled “Apple Application Support”, one allowed me to delete and the other older one didn’t delete and came up with the prompts below, so I just installed itunes/quicktime again. The same response happened when trying to open itunes. So I followed Apple’s support system and deleted all I could again. What was left is below, any help would be extremely useful.
    In “Uninstall or Change a Program” of windows 7, I was unable to delete Version 1.1.0 which is 32.3 MB installed on the 03/03/2010 of the Apple Application Support.
    *When deleting it comes up with a box that says:*
    +The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.+
    +Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘appleApplicationSupport.msi’ in the below box.+
    C:UsersSeanAppDataLocalTempIXP722.TMP
    I could only follow the path to the “Temp” part …\IXP722.TMP does not exist in that folder.
    _Any Help with this problem would be Greatly appreciated._

    This kind of problem often responds to using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method:
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the files on your PC.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista and Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

    I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
    It says "Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
    I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
    Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

    so i tried to download the windows installer update from the link you gave me but now i'm getting a different error and it won't let me download the installer. The error reads:
    Windows Script Host
    Script: C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsl.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject"
    Code: 800A01AD
    Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
    I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Please help!

  • ITunes won't launch on Windows 7 after re-boot

    I just re-booted my PC and now the iTunes app won't launch. It says iTunes was installed incorrectly but it's been working for YEARS. Before I rebooted, the window popped up to update iTunes but I figured I'd do it after the re-boot. I have over 2000 songs plus movies, etc. in iTunes.  And, because it is a PC, there is no Apple Support.  Any suggestions?

    If all your songs and/or movies are saved on your PC, you shouldn't lose anything if you update or uninstall & reinstall iTunes.
    Try to update your iTunes, if you're really worried about losing your songs and/or movies, you can place them on a USB flash drive or External Hard Drive or save them on a Cloud Drive (ei. Google Drive, SkyDrive, etc...)

  • Updated iTunes--won't open without agreeing to Ping

    Just updated iTunes and tried to open it. Got a message saying I had signed up for Ping, and I hadn't. Not interested in Ping, declined agreement but iTunes won't open to let me proceed without Ping. Why can't I just decline and proceed without it? All topics are about getting rid of it after accepting. Am I able to avoid it in the first place?
    Thanks!

    good lord.
    okay, it's plausible that you've got two different problems going on at once here.
    underlying it might be a version of a drive letter confusion:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    (see also the link to the MS KB doc)
    ... which is working so that either your My Music folder has either accidentally made its way on to the ipod, or that it's only being seen when the ipod is plugged in.
    when it's not being seen, you get the problem described in this document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... is there any particular reason why you have to have your "My Music" folder on your F drive, rather than your C drive?

  • Updated iTunes won't connect to external speakers

    I updated iTunes and now when I initially open it on my computer it won't locate my external speakers connected via Airport Express. I have made no other changes to my set up, computer, speakers, etc. I have to restart my computer and then the second time i open iTunes, it finds my speakers. This is a big pain and makes no sense.

    I have almost the same problem - see my post earlier today at 7:48 am. When I had just Airport Express I could play iTunes to the remote speakers through AX. When I created a wireless network with Airport Extreme, then added the Airport Express to the wireless network as a client, now I can only play iTunes to either the computer speakers OR the remote speakers through airport express, however when I try to play to both (by selecting multiple speakers in the drop down box in iTunes) I get the exact same error message you get.
    I thought it was something I had done wrong with the setup, but now that I know there's someone else out there with the same problem there must be some glitch with Airport Express when you add it to an exisiting network. I have tried resetting both my Airport Express and Airport Extreme, recreating the network, etc., but the same error message keeps coming back.
    Has anyone out there done this successfully???

  • TS3297 updated iTunes won't run on iMac OS X 10.6.8

    I have the updated iTunes 11.0.3 and OS X 10.6.8 but now my iMac  won't let me open iTunes as it says it is not supported.  My Mac is a late 2006 and so, I cannot download OS Mountain Lion (if that is a potential solution), so I don't know how to get iTunes to open now.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

    After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

    Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
    Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
    Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
    To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
    20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
    Very frustrating.
    I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

  • HT2905 How to restore music to itunes after purchasing album and update itunes to newest version

    Okay last night I bought the Carter IV and I had problems with my gift card. So eventually I updated my itunes to the most current for my windows 7. Now the issue is I have no music accept the purchased album, and in my "music folder" in Previous Itunes Libraries I dont see the thousands of songs and videos I had on itunes! so If anybody can help it would be most appreciated.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    This assumes that you are currently connected to the library file in the main iTunes folder, if you've somehow managed to connect to an alternate file then hold down shift as you start iTunes so that you get options to "Choose or create a library", then choose the library file in question.
    There should shouldn't be a Music folder in Previous iTunes Libraries which makes me suspect you've picked the wrong file at some point, where it happens to be, rather than restoring it as outlined above.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
