Can't open iTunes in Vista

On clicking my iTunes icon an information box appears: "iTunes volume is currently turned all the way down". When I push "OK" or "X" there is no response. When I look in Task Manager it shows the program as running. When I open my Sound Control Panel it shows iTunes at full volume. All I can do is "End Task" to remove the information box - there is no way to open the actual iTunes program. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate. I have had many crashes of iTunes using this system but have always been able to reopen the program. A recent change is the downloading of a new Vista Service Pack - could this be the cause?

I'm having the exact same problem. I assumed I could just download an older version to correct the problem, but have been unable to. I would like to listen to my music (especially what I've purchased from iTunes), so I am eagerly anticipating a solution to this problem.

Just upgraded to vista and now can't open itunes

I just upgraded to vista (what a pain) I have uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled itunes but I still can't open it. This is what happens. When I click on the itunes icon I get the licence agareement which I check agree and when it goes away I get an error message which says: "The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have tried clicking on the Itunes icon and have gone to itunes properties control panel and clicked on security and tried to get permission many times. After reading post's on this fourm I went to the itunes folder on my c drive and went to the same control panel and tried again but to no avail. I had no trouble with itunes on XP and have used it for years. Btw I can open Quicktime player but it will not play my video files (I don't care because quicktime is not my default player). but I can open it.
I have an Ipod nano and I want to use it to listen to audio books but I can't load them onto it without itunes.
Thanks for any help in advances

Yes I still have a problem. This is what it is in a nutshell. With User Account Control on in vista I can't open itunes. I am not sure what happens when I try but here goes. First I have installed itunes into my computer and have an icon on my desktop. When I click on that icon the first thing that happens is that I get a licenses agreement which I accept. As soon as I accept the agreement it goes away and I get an error message that says “The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." The only option that the error message gives me is to say “OK”. When I click on the OK button on the error message it goes away and nothing else happens. Because of this problem I have uninstalled and installed itunes at least 5 times.
I have tried to read as many post in this forum as I can trying to find a solutions to this problem but to no avail. I have also gone to the vista forum and have read as many posts as I can about itunes problems that are there but to no avail. I have tried many fixes that have not work except one. And that was “to turn off the User Account Control.” When I turned off this control I was able to open itunes for the first times. Since then I have opened itunes many times and use it to load my ipod. But when I turn on User Account Control I have the same problem and I can’t open itune. I am open to suggestions on how to fix this problem and at this time I am not sure what is wrong. I have tried my things trying to fix this problem but for all I know I might have does something wrong. So at point I will try anything that you suggest.

How can I open iTunes after recent update 01/25/2014

After installing the recent update for iTunes, I can't open iTunes. Tried to uninstall/reinstais missing, with same results. I have received several error messages: MSVCR80.dill is missing. Please re-install, error 7 Windows error (126).
When will this corrupted download be fixed? I can't access iTunes at all.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following four programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

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?

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.

I can´t open iTunes - error AVFoundationCF.dll

I can't open iTunes on my PC. What should I do? - error AVFoundationCF.dll

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5.

I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, but when I download the upgrade it won't install over my QuickTime Pro 7.2.1. How do I upgrade QT so it'll be compatible with my iTunes?
-Rob

BDA and TMM,
Excellent thanks. I've got iTunes working now, after downloading the latest version of iTunes by clicking Software Update from the Apple menu. And I downloaded QuickTime 7.7 from the links you recommended, BDA. For some reason I'd been unable to locate the latest QT for Leopard no matter how hard I tried—it was probably staring me in the face all the while.
Much appreciated,
-Rob

CAN'T OPEN iTunes, get message "can't open Error (-50)?

Can't open iTunes, get error message (-50)?

The 50 when launching iTunes can indicate a damaged Apple Application Support. So first I'd try a Repair install of your Apple Application Support.
Restart the PC. In your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select Apple Application Support, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Does the repair install go through okay? If so, does itunes launch without the (-50)?
