Cant get itunes to open on windows

i downloaded itunes and when i tried to open i got an error message that says itunes is not a valid Win32 application. does this mean i should return my ipod? what can i do to make this work? any help is greatly appreciated!

This is what I post when hardly any info is given.
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular

- setting up Norton to allow iTunes, use these steps from Lorraine
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
Especially if you are seeing the license agreement flash by
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Cant get itunes to open after update. have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times

Cannot get itunes to open after updating. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions.

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?

I can not get itunes to open on Windows 7...

I just got a new iPhone and wanted to back up my old iPhone to my computer one more time before switching over...Two hours later I still can not get iTunes to open. I have two different acounts on my computer, iTunes will load on the secondary account, but not my main account. I logged into iTunes on that account and now have issues with libraries, and overriding and synching and deleting, and a million other messages that made me nervous about backing up my phone through the secondary account. I just want to get iTunes to work on my main account. I have tried several different things, and am getting incredibly frustrated. Just in case I messed up a step of the "obvious" fixes, I would appreciate anything anyone could suggest to help Thank you!

Doublechecking. Have you tried the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document?

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.

How come i cant get itunes to open on my galaxy tab 2?

how to get a subscribe button. Is there anyone i can call to talk to about this?

Confirming and expanding on what RG said, not only is iTunes is not available for Android devices, it cannot sync to an Android device if you have iTunes running on a Windows or Mac system. You'll need to use the download stores provided for Android devices, and if you have music downloaded from the ITunes Store on a computer, whatever synchronization method Samsung provides for getting the music to your Galaxy.

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

Cant get itunes to open

when i try to open it i get this message {the file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes}

What computer hardware? Which version of software are you running? I'm sure there's a background story to all this so please tell it. Usually this is the result of having updated something somewhere. You may need to reinstall iTunes. Download it fom Apple; do not use Software Update.

Can't get Itunes to open on Windows

I am trying to set up an ipod shuffle for the first time. I downloaded and installed itunes from the apple web site but itunes will not open. When I plug the shuffle in the user agreement page comes up and I click agree and then nothing else happens. If I double click on the itunes icon the agreement page comes up and after I click on agree a box popes up saying that itunes has encountered a problem and is closing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Try using this article and it should correct the issue.

Very important that you complete steps 11 - 19 to completely remove itunes before reinstalling. If these steps are not done then the Issue may not be resolved with just removing the Application from Add/remove Programs in windows

HT5581 Why cant i get ITunes to open up on my windows 7/ 64bit I have tryed all kinds of stuff and still no luck?

Look on my desk top HP running windows 7/ 64bit. I can not for the world of me get ITunes to open up at all and have tried all .??

Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
Thanks again.

ITunes started freezing up on Windows 7 home while down loading podcasts and university videos. Now, I can't even get iTunes to open on my computer. what do I need to do?

itunes started freezing up on Windows 7 while downloading podcasts, books, itunes university items. Now, I can't even get itunes to open on my computer. What should I do?

It seems that in some cases the scripts on Apple's site that are intended to query your system to offer the appropriate installer don't work as intended, taking you straight to the "Thank you for downloading" page. Depending on the edition of Windows you are running, there are three variants of the most recent version of iTunes, with direct links to the installers as follows:
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit) - iTunes6464Setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit "for older video cards") - itunes64setup.exe
The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.
