ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. Many customers/users with the same issu

First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.
I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.
I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.
1. Uninstalling iTunes + Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
3. Cleaning the registry.
4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.
+** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.+
All of this and it goes nowhere good.
Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.
I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.
As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.
If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.
Thank you for your time and help.

  • ITunes will not open on my iPhone with the new update 10/18/13

    iTunes will not open on my iPhone after the new update 10/18/13. It opens on my iPad that also has the new update; just not my iPhone.

    OK, so what troubleshooting steps have you taken?  Have you taken the ones recommended in the User Guide?  Exactly what HAVE you done thus far to help solve your problem?

  • My itunes will not open when I click on the icon. An system error appears. "the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Any ideas on how to resolve, I have tried installing

    My itunes will not open, it displays an error that MSVCR80.dll is missing. I tried reinstalling itunes but it fails because the service is not able to start.

    Same thing happened to me. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Good LUCK!!

  • Itunes will not open when i click on the icon or when I plug in my device.

    Itunes will not open when I click, left or right, on the icon nor when I plug in a device.

    are you sure your i-tunes is installed proper cause the icon is just a shortcut to the program.You might have some missing files. If so you may need to uninstall it and reinstall a new one.

  • ITunes will not open on 1Phone 4 with new iso6 update

    Since making the bad decision to update to the new iso I have had and endless list of problems.
    But my main annoyance is the fact that iTunes doesn't work on my phone anymore - It opens but the screen is blank.

  • My Itunes will not open up. I get the lovely 'Itunes has encountered ....'

    "..a problem and has to close" message.
    I've searched around a few times and haven't found any solution on here. But I think I might have found another issue because now my Quick-time (Though I barely use it.) isn't working either. Below I have copy-and-pasted the errors that show up.
    I have:
    -Reinstalled itunes
    -Un-Installed Bonjour.
    -Ran a Malwarebytes scan (which is still scanning but nothing so far)
    Who can help me? Please.
    QuickTime:
    EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.66.71.0
    P3 : 4ba1a755 P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll P5 : 7.66.71.0 P6 : 4ba1a74a
    P7 : 00005b6d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
    Itunes:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.1.1.12 ModName: ntdll.dll
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.5755 Offset: 0001b21a

    The ntdll.dll/BEX combo you're getting usually does indicate malware. Usually Malwarebytes picks up whatever beasties are causing it, but in some cases it hasn't helped.
    One thing that has been working in cases when malwarebytes hasn't touched things has been downloading a copy of Microsoft Security Essentials updating definitions and running a full scan with that:
    http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
    Does the MSE scan get your iTunes and QuickTime launching again?

  • Bought iPad, but iTunes will not open in Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was loaded from Windows XP SP 2.  Help

    The new version of iTunes will not open on new computer with Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was Windows XP SP2 carried over from old computer.  There seems to be some type of color incompatability.  Any help?

    Uninstalled old iTunes, deleted all old iTunes files in Program Files folder, except two that would not delete, and deleted all iTunes I could find in the registry.  Downloaded and install latest version of iTunes.  iTunes will open and quickly close with black windows, twice.  Troubleshooting says "incompatible Application."  Any suggestions?
