Can't open iTunes!  Help, please.  Very frustrated

I need help.  I tried Apple Tech Support.  They walked me through all sort of steps after 45 minutes being on the phone, we were disconnected.  You would think they would call me back!  **** no.  So here it goes.  A month or so ago, when I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes opened with a "new version" to download.  Okay, It instructed me to delete all iTune programs on the computer.  So, I did.  BIG MISTAKE.  When I try to download iTunes, a window comes up to "Repair" or "Delete".  If I select Repair, I get a message;  c:\Programs\iTunes\cdconfiguration\gcdrll.cfg.  After I cancel that, I tried again.  This time I picked "Delete".  This time I get a message; c:\Programs\iTunes\cdconfiguration\getlasterror: 5.  I can't get my iTunes back.  I'm very upset as I have pruchased a lot of music.  I can't do anything with my iPod.  Can some one help me please?  Sad that I can't get Apple to help.
I greatly appreciate any help you can supply me.
Thank you  8(

  • I can't open iTunes...very BIG problem

    I just downloaded the newest iTunes (6.0.5) and can't even use it. Everytime i open iTunes, I must first agree to the software license agreement, and then i get a message stating "The iTunes Music Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is the 'iTunes' folder in the 'My Music' folder."
    I have tried everything. I have reinstalled iTunes, uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it again and again. nothing seems to be working though, i just keep getting the same message. Please help me, i can't even open my iTunes untill this problem is solved.

    have you tried to restore your library?

  • I can't open itunes, HELP!

    my itunes will not open please help me

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:

    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • ITunes Error -600 (Can't open iTunes) Help!

    Tonight I was working with my iPod and iTunes on a Mac; I ejected the iPod, but a static message on iTunes had locked it up. The message was that the iPod was updating. I finally was able to force quit iTunes, but now I cannot open iTunes from the Dock or Finder.
    The message I get is: The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -600). Has anyone got a solution? Please?

    when you go on itunes and check your purchase history, you have the option to report a problem related to your purchase, ok also i supposed you have quicktime, yes. It will be helpfull if you had in your profile the version of your application itunes 7 or quicktime etc...
    the code error seems to be associate with "service unavailable".

  • Discimagemounter and Disc Utility does not work, can't open .dmg HELP PLEASE

    Hello.
    I've got a problem with my Mac when I try to open .dmg files I've downloaded. When I open the file it opens then instantly closes down, and when I choose "open with" and try to open with Disc Utility, it says that it quit unexpectedly and asks me to send a report or close it down. I also tried downloading stuff like "iGetter" to open files with, but since I can't open downloaded files I'm stuck in this mess.
    I can't repair permissions either, since neither Disc Utility or DiscImagemounter works.
    What do I do?

    Backup your files off the machine to a storage drive (not TimeMachine only) disconnect
    Most commonly used backup methods
    then run through these Steps

  • Suddenly cannot open iTunes - HELP PLEASE

    The file 'iTunes library.itl' cannot be read beacause it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

    Any ideas on what to do next folks?

    I too am having this problem.  I am running Windows 7 and have just upgraded to itunes version 10.5 and am getting exactly the same message,  Have repaired and reinstalled but to no avail.

  • Newbie to Mac Needs Help Please - Very Frustrated

    Hello. I'm new to Mac. I'm pretty well versed in Windows and pretty technically savvy so this is frustrating. I cannot get my MacBook with OS X 10.4.8 to print on my new HP 1020. Both are new. It never even occurred to me that the Mac wouldn't be able to talk to it and neither sales person asked about the other. Any work-arounds? Mac appears to recognize it...finds its name and all that...and any/all apps appear to "print" but nothing happens...no printing occurs. I know the printer works; works with my old Dell. Please help. Thank you.

    It's my understanding that if you go to hp website and get the drivers for the HP1022 printer that will work. If it doesn't DO THE BELOW STEPS:
    If you aren't already on OSX 10.4.8, upgrade now and then follow these steps:
    For The MacBook:
    1) Disconnect the HP 1020 if it is currently connected to the MacBook.
    2 Download; http://www.narc.ca/1601-LJ1022_SeriesOSX.dmg (Old version)
    2) Delete anything for the HP 1020 in Printer in "Printer Setup Utility"
    3) If you have anything for the HP 1020 (or the 1022 from a failed installation) in "/Library/Reciepts" delete it.
    4) Remove the 1020Series folder from "/Library/Printers/hp/laserjet" directory if it exists.
    5) Reset the print system from the Printer Setup Utility
    6) Reboot (the HP 1020 is still disconnected from the MacBook)
    7) Run the installer package downloaded in step 2
    8) Shut down the MacBook completely
    9) While the MacBook is off, connect the HP 1020 and power the PRINTER on.
    10) Power on the MacBook
    11) Add new printer in "Printer Setup Utility", select HP LaserJet 1020, driver should come up, click ADD
    Thanks TheMane for posting instructions t

On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

    I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • HT1443 I can't open iTunes. My PC gives a runtime error R6034. Please help !

    I was updating my Quicktime i guess. There was a internet problem and i couldn't finish the update. After i got everytime a Runtime Error with the code R6034. I delete iTunes and Quicktime from my laptop and install them again but still i can't open iTunes on my laptop. Anyone has a idea to sowl this problem?
    THX

    Quicktime is no longer a required component of iTunes. I would uninstall that and then fix the start-up issue with the following...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Recently I did an update and now can't open iTunes.  I get a Runtime Error telling me C Runtime library loaded incorrectly.  Please help?

    Recently, I did an update on iTunes on my Acer laptop. Now I can't open iTunes & I get a Runtime Error telling me C Runtime library is loaded incorrectly.  I have Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to reinstall iTunes.

    Hi sungoddess69,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To resolve this error, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    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.
    You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

  • Hi!  I have downloaded a ready-made website and I can't seem to open it.  The "theme" install instructions are talking about a "zip" file which I cannot see.  Would anyone know why I can't open it?  PLEASE HELP!!   Thanks!

    Hi Everybody
    I have downloaded three "ready-made" websites for me and it is supposed to have Wordpress in as well.  I can see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them.  It refers to a "zip" file which I don't see nor a "dmg", only a blue folder.   Can anyone help me to figure out how to get this open and set up on my computer?  I guess you can tell I'm new and very frustrated.  Thank you!

    It's not clear what you mean by 'see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them', although it seems possible that a zip file opened/unzipped to create them.
    Perhaps if you include a screenshot, and/or a link to the site where you got these, and describe exactly what happens when you try to open a folder that won't open.
