Cannot get itunes to open

After Itunes is installed on my pc, it will not open. I have follwed every thing I could find so far, uninstalled and deleted all associated files including QT and deleted all local temp files, turned off virus protection and pop up blockers while re-installing, but the program still will not start. Any other suggestions? Please help!

Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

    Hello there, Tricia.
    You may have to find the download folder for the browser you are using and launch the installer from there. Another option you may want to try is using another browser to download and install iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some steps for how to download iTunes using Windows Internet Explorer:

    I have installed after a complete reformating of my hard disk, installed and reinstalled itunes several times after a complete unistall of all related programs and tried just about everything that is recommended. What can I do to get itunes to open on my computer

    Are you getting any error messages?  Perhaps this post would be more suited for the iTunes forums since it's an issue with the iTunes application itself and not your iPod.

  • TS2529 I cannot get iTunes to open?

    After a start failure on my computer, I cannot launch iTunes?

    On the iTunes menu bar, click the Window tab. Is itunes selected?

  • Cannot get Itunes to open - tried everything

    Everytime I click on Itunes 7.5 to open nothing happen. When I open up the task manager it's right there, I close it, re-open it and again nothing. I got tired with all the un-installing and re-installing so I just reformated my computer. I installed only the drivers for my MB and video, went to the apple site and downloaded a fresh copy of Itunes 7.5, installed it and when I tried to run it - the same exact thing - will not open.
    What the **** is going on? I can't access my Ipod for a week now! Is apple trying to fix this - I know the problem can't be on my side becuase I installed it on a reformated computer with the same problem.

    Let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes launch failures:
    Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    If there's not an error message, let's check your QuickTime (its well-being is a requirement for a functioning iTunes).
    Go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
    Does it start?
    If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    Do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?
    <hr />
    You've more or less answered this next question but for the sake of clarity ...
    If there are no error messages and there is no problem with QuickTime then reboot your computer and open the Windows Task Manager.
    Go to the Processes tab of the Task Manager and then try starting iTunes one more time.
    Does iTunes.exe appear in the list of processes now?
    If iTunes.exe appears, does it remain in the Processes list or discontinue after a brief period of time?

  • I cannot get itunes to open with windows 7 64 bit

    I have Windows 7 64 bit.  When I download the latest itunes program it will absolutely not open! I have tried everthing I know including uninstalling and reinstalling.
    Appreciate any help you can provide for this agonizing problem.

    this fixed my issue had the same problem
    using http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    User-specific troubleshooting
    Remove iTunes Preference files
    Some of the files that iTunes uses to store settings and preferences may be unusable and cause issues. iTunes has two folders where preferences are saved. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The location for the two preference folders are:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes

    Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
    There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

    Hi,

    I certainly agree. You can comment to Apple on the matter via their feedback page, if you wish:

    Perhaps if enough of us request it, they'll put that feature back.
    Regards.

  • I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open

    I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open...help!

    If you're downloading Pages from the iTunes App Store you're not getting the Mac version, just the iOS version for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. They are two separate applications for two different operating systems. To get Pages for your Mac you need to go to the Mac App Store. Either click the icon in the Dock or click on the Apple icon at the top left of your screen & choose App Store.
