Error report when I try to use iTunes

Hi,
A few days ago I was trying to work out how to get a different modem to work with my computer. I got a friend to try to help me and we did a few things which didn't work. (I later bought a new modem which is working fine.) Either way it could be irrelevant as he assures me we didn't do anything to cause this.
Whenever I try to open iTunes (and, incidentally, QuickTime and Trillian, too), I get that annoying Error report window popping up (you know the one, where it asks you if you want to send an error report or not), and iTunes doesn't open. I uninstalled it and re-installed but no joy. I did a scan for viruses and got rid of a couple of things. Still no joy.
Can anyone help?!

Hello?! Just wondering when someone will answer my
question - I'm getting desperate! Thanks!
This worked for me!

"send error report" when I try to open iTunes

Whenever I try to go to iTunes, it tells me it won't work and that I should send an error message. I've reinstalled and it still does this. It said the problem has to do with quicktime.

is that an "itunes has encountered an error ..." message, wumbo?
the first thing to check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your QuickTime currently launch, or does it give you an error message when you try to launch it?
if your QT gives you an error message, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if the install goes through okay, will your itunes launch properly?
keep us posted.

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

Oliver,
Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

I get an error message when I try to use share function on IPhoto. I get the triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside of it.

I get an error message when I try to use the share function on iPhoto. When I try to share photos via email a triangle icon with an exclamation mark appears. Why can't I use share function?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards

Error Message when I try to open itunes

When i try to open itunes it gives me the error message "Windows cannot access specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" It was working fine yesterday afternoon and this morning i got this message.

I didn't mean do the devices work, I meant does Itunes work if they are plugged in.
Could you confirm that you have a default installation of iTunes and that you do not use the server for itunes?
If not then it sounds like something got corrupted and may be it is worth trying a full removal of iTunes and related programs followed by reinstall.
Here is a method for doing this including cleaning up if any of the uninsatlls fail. *if you are unable to delete any of the recommended files or folders report back with details*.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
