Can't open iTunes when I want to "run as administrator"

I have my iTunes library on my external HD and run it on vista. I have way too much music so I tried to delete some, however, to delete it off my external as well I must run it as an administrator. This used to work fine, but now when I try a message comes up saying iTunes can not run because some of the required files are missing, and to reinstall it. I did this and it did not work, and it is now making me reload my whole library (which takes hours when you have 250 gb). What do I do to make crappy iTunes work?

Hi beachy85!
When you remove iTunes, your music on your computer (and your iPod, too) will be saved.
Let's try this:
Go to "Add or remove programs" in Control Panel.
Find iTunes and QuickTime from this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the remainging installation files.
For information on the WICU, see this:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Then, go to this page, and QuickTime (get the Standalone version, not the one that includes iTunes in the pack):
QuickTime download
Then, install iTunes from this page here:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Now, try opening iTunes again. Do you still get that error message, or not?

Well you first download the latest version of iTunes, after installing it restart the computer once and then try opening it!
Does this fix your issue?

After installing the maverick i get this message when i try to open iTunes: If you want to run i 64bits modus you must remove the mark:Open in 32bits modus.But i have removed the 32bits and i still can't get it to work!Have maces

I upgraded my 2007 iMac (20") to Maverick. Should never have done this! Lost mail, lost my mail archive, lost numerous programs/applications, lost all my installed hardware, spend 4 days on getting it running again with the (supreme) help of Apple Care. However it should not have happened at all!
iMac Computers with less than 4Gb of internal memory (as explained by Apple Care), or less than (estimated) 150Gb of free disc-space should not upgrade! Simple as that and the App Store should warn you about that and not simply let you pick up your free copy of Maverick!

I can't open iTunes when I upgraded to Yosemite

I have a 2008 mac book pro. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't seem to open iTunes. In the app store under 'Updates' it says I have downloaded iTunes 12.0.1 on Oct. 18.14. But when I go to iTunes in the applications folder it says I have 12.0.1.26 on Oct.19.14. I did download the iTunes update before I downloaded Yosemite. I was thinking that I needed to uninstall iTunes. I used the 'sharing and permissions' method, but it didn't work. Help!

Re: iTunes doesn't open after Yosemite is installedin response to sinpwo
I have been having the same problem too but I solved it! You first have to click on the "Finder" icon then find the iTunes application in the application folder. After that right click on the iTunes icon and press "show package contents." Once that is open click on the "contents" folder, then click "Mac OS." After the "Mac OS" folder is open click you have on to click on the iTunes terminal. (It was the first icon in the folder, it saids "exec" on it.)

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks

Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

I can not open iTunes. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get this message when I try to open itunes. can not find MSVCR80.dll Then I get ERROR 7 (windows error 126) I tried reinstalling iTunes but that did not help. Please Help Me!

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. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows error 126) Please Help me!

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.

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

All the best,

TS1717 I can't open iTunes. I'd been experiencing frequent freezes when I was using the iTunes store the past few days. What can I do to open iTunes?

? I can't open iTunes at all. When I hit the icon, it lights up but doesn't engage to open the program. The past few days I'd been experiencing frequent freezes when using the iTunes Store. Any ideas for how to open iTunes?

I would copy over the entire thing if you have room. With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account. While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases". If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device. Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!! Enjoy...

ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library. Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library. With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder. This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

Can't select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" in iTunes.

iTunes wouldn't launch when I plugged the phone into my laptop. I opened iTunes manually & the option to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is now grayed out. How can I re-select that option?

Yes,.. Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK. Done!

Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?

I Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U? If I click either yes or no, the same box just reopens. As far as I know, I have not done anything with iTunes U. The software is up to date and I have also reinstalled itunes. Any ideas?

Since this problem, I was able to reinstall again and reboot, and then 'stop' while the library was being opened (that was another window that I could not close, that would come up before the error message, this time I chose to stop it). Now only music I have purchased appears, none of my other >1,000 albums I manually added via my CD collection. About 10% are in different music folders (I don't know why they aren't in the same one), but the other 90% are missing. Any ideas??
