After I update itunes, it will not open.

For the past year I have been trying to fix this problem. After I try to update my itunes, it will not open on my computer. Sometimes it says my quicktime is not updated or it says my windows is not compatible. I have no idea how to fix this problem!! If anyone can help, that would be awesome!! Thank you!!

Taken from another post:
1) Uninstall whatever version of itunes and quicktime your running. Go to your control panel and under "add/delete" programs select both applications. This will not wipe your song files.
2) after you delete both applications. Reinstall itunes version 7.5. This will also automatically install Quicktime 7.3. Things will still not work.
3) Go back into"add/delete" and uninstall quicktime. BLOW it away.
4) Go to the following link and download and install quicktime version 7.2

5) Restart itunes....all should work.

After I updated iTunes, iPhone will NOT synch or show up on iTunes

I updated iTunes last night and now when I plug the iPhone into the usb port nothing happens. I see the iphone light up with the full battery but no synching at all and nothing appears on iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled(itunes, apple mobile, apple software update, quicktime) counting this morning a total of 5 times. Still no sign iTunes is reading the phone. I also notice I cannot access the iTunes store or check for updates. I haven't even updated the phone itself yet. Any suggestions? Thanks guys and happy new year all!

your not alone. I have the same problem and nothing I do can get iTunes to see the phone. My iTunes works fine and has all the new rental features but no iPhone support.

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.

HT2311 Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: What to do??

Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: WHAT TO DO?
Recently I updated to Snow Leopard from 10.5.8 and then updated to 10.6.8. The recent update to itunes 10.7 has completely failed as iTunes fails to boot up and just send a message to Apple. So now I cannot access my music library. I tried deleting the new iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling iTunes 10.6.3 and also 10.3.1 with exactly the same result. I did the installation after turning off as many background software items as I could like Sophos Anti Virus and Little Snitch. This makes one want to give up on software updates - I have had an increasing number of failures as my machine gets to 5 years old.
Macbook:
Model: MacBook3,1, BootROM MB31.008E.B02, 2 processors, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2 GHz, 4 GB, SMC 1.24f3
Graphics: Intel GMA X3100, GMA X3100, Built-In, 144 MB

OK - I have found my own fix in an older thread / discussion:-

basically from home/Library/Quicktime one has to remove the file: DesktopVideoOut.component

Itunes simply will not open! please tell me why...i need my music!

hello (hopefully) helpful peeps,
ok firstly, i know virtually nothing about computers...and mine is driving me nuts!!
i use an old powerbook (think it's from 2000). i have been having several problems with it over the past year, but the most annoying one is that itunes simply will not open. i have re-installed it several times but when i click on it, it just bounces twice and then...nothing. it says it is there in my applications folder- version 8.0.2, taking up 139.3 MB of my limited space (only 5.59 GB hard drive!) and it is completely useless to me! when i installed this latest version i checked the compatibility and it all seemed fine, so it can't be to do with that.
please can anyone help? ...i just want to listen to my music! :'(
ps. use BASIC computer talk please! think 'computers for dummies', none of this fancy lingo. ta!

LOL! good analogy...and i love mini coopers!
i am just as surprised as you that it is still hanging on despite it's age and size...tho it is driving me nuts and most of the time i want to take a sledge hammer to it!
my brother uses the exact same one, only i think he put a larger internal drive in his and he doesn't seem to have any problems (in fact this one used to be his til it broke one day, so he got another one, but managed to fix this one and gave it to me! it was second hand to begin with) i have had nothing but problems! but i just don't understand why itunes etc worked fine before when i haven't really used any more space, if anything i now use less cos i deleted practically everything!
so is it possible to get a larger internal drive (considering how old it is) or do you think it's not worth it? i have absolutely no idea how i would go about that, i suppose i would have to pay someone to fit it? i wouldn't dare open it up myself!
if they weren't so hideously expensive, i would just buy a lovely shiny new macbook since macs are def my preferred choice...tho i don't know why i am still loyal after all the grief it has given me!
cheers for being so helpful and sorry to ask all these questions but you seem to know your stuff...i'm clueless

Itunes Library will not open!!!!! itunes Library will not open!!!!!

Hello,
This is very frustrating that hundreds of people view these questions and only a few people answer. The issue here is that my itunes Library will not open. I'd sure like to know what is causing this and if it's gone forever.
WinXP. Pro.
I have many Mp3 music files under the same playlist names as in my ipod, i:e: Country,Jazz,Blues,Classic Rock, Alternative,vocal,light sounds,etc. When I drag new mp3 music files into my ipod library,then sync to my ipod, Itunes makes a backup of itune music files in their folder..I think. Anyway, those mp3 muic files are still on the Hard drive,but I can not open up my itunes Library. is it Gone????
Sooooooooooooooo...I was slap-happy in upgrading my itunes software for my 80GB fith gen ipod for the kick of it. I downloaded the new updates.then tried to open my itunes library and it wouldn't open...I hooked up my Ipod thinking that may help open up the Library,but nothing.
I tried the system restore,nothing. I uninstalled itunes,then reinstalled the itunes/quicktime download from apple. I clicked on the itunes icon on the desktop a few times and then a few times more,nothing. I guess I'm missing the itunes.ink file to open this up. regardless, I went to the Windows/Start/programs/itunes...nothing again. Windows Explorer/C:/ program files/itunes...nothing.
I was afraid when I uninstalled the itunes software from before,it would erase the itunes Library,but the music is still on my hard drive,I just can't open the itunes Library. At this point,I should buy an external hard drive and transfer all my Mp3 files and the itunes music files/podcasts/photos,wipe the hard drive,reinstall the O.S. and start all over again.
I'm guessing I am out of options with this itune Libray. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

Still unanswered. I'm still trying to install itunes so I could use the library. I am removing Mp3 files from my hard drive to free up space,so if I ever do get the itunes setup,I'll have to remove the SYNC and do the manual so I ONLY transfer Podcasts into the ipod and not lose them becuase of the unchecked boxes.
Ok, I uninstalled EVERYTHING that has to do with Itunes/ipod from the computer..Add/remove programs, serch all files/folders,Windows Explorer,Start>All programs,the Itune reference. Turned off all my Firewall,spyware,and anti-virus,,downloaded the new 7.5 version Itunes/ipod...saved to desktop,installed the new software...then NADA! NOTHING! I can click on the shortcut desktop icon, and all the other ways to click the software open, but nothing. peole on other sites reccomend Tag and rename and use the Winamp media Library,because of all the lack of personal customer support APPLE lacks. I guess I was a Big FOOL to spend my hard earned $350.00 for this ipod.

HT3204 My itunes store will not open. I get a blank page. When diagnostics ran it said secure link to itunes failed. What do I do?

Itunes store will not open. I get a blank page. When I ran diagnostics error message said secure link to itunes failed. I have internet access, have turned off my security, and I can go to explorer and get on itunes.

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 & 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, Sync 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:

Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google

Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google, an error message comes up saying safari cannot connect to the server. Can anyone help me with this please?

Hi Joshua ..
Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that wasn't the issue, try using OpenDNS.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, prevents the, "can't connect to server" issue, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser re directs, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.

HT1420 My Itunes Library will not open at all. the icon will spin when i click on it but it won't open

My Itunes Library will not open at all. When I click on Itunes the icon spins and nothing will pull up.

Try resetting your device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, ignoring the red power down slider, and release the buttons when you see hte silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
You won't lose any data, it's juat the apple equivalent of 'control/alt/delete' and often clears up glitches

After I update itunes, it will not open.
