Error when opening latest version of iTunes

I just downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, and when I go to open it I get the following message:
The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" fulder in the "My Music" folder.
I located this file, but iTunes will not open - what do I do?
Thanks ahead of time!

Sounds like you need to use Tweak UI from microsoft to repair your my music folder. Try the steps here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398

Error Upgrading to Latest Version of iTunes.

When I tried to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, after around 30 minutes of installing it came up with this error:
*The cabinet file iTunes.cab required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used.*
*This could indicate a network error, and error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package*
There were two options accompanying this message: 'Retry' and 'Cancel'.
I selected retry at first, but the message kept coming up.
So in the end I canceled the whole installation.
How can I fix this problem?
Oh, and Merry Christmas!

okay. i was looking for a drivers download page for your particular model at ShuttleX (to see, for example, if there was new firmware available for your drives).
but the area in the iTunes diagnostics that usually shows up model information:
VIA Technologies, Inc. FX43
... wasn't saying which model of ShuttleX you had. (that looks more like info about your make of motherboard.)
i got this far at the ShuttleX support site looking for info on what you had:
http://us.shuttle.com/support.html
... so i figured, i'd better try to work out whether you had what they were calling a complete system or an XPC barebone.

Problem with opening latest version of iTunes

I see there's a lot of problems with the most recent iTunes version, and I just happen to have another one to pile onto the list (I'm so very sorry):
Ok, when I tried to buy a video in the Music Store, it said I needed to upgrade my iTunes (which I did). It installed the latest version (of iTunes and Quicktime), and when it was done I tried opening iTunes... It wouldn't open. It said I needed a "later version of Quicktime" (7.1.3) and that I should reinstall iTunes. I'm freaking out because I don't want to reinstall iTunes for fear of losing everything that was on it before I tried upgrading. And why would iTunes not download the latest version of Quicktime too? Why did it download the 7.0.3 version? I've upgraded before, and it's never done this... What's wrong? Is it Quicktime? Is it iTunes?... Is my brain defective?

let's try this technique first.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Can't open latest version of iTunes in Windows 8

I have installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows 8. I cannot open iTunes. I attempted opening in Safe Mode, received the Safe Mode pop-up, selected "Continue," and iTunes was not opened. What can I do to access iTunes?

Hey clappinghappy,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. If you issue persists after attempting to open iTunes in safe mode, the next step would be to test in a new user account:

After isolating the issue further, see the applicable section (User-specific troubleshooting or System-wide troubleshooting)

ITunes error when downloading latest version

I just updated my iTunes to the latest version, and now iTunes will not open and gives me an error stating that I need to attempt to re-download iTunes again. Which I did, and still get the same error.

I had this issue and Apple haven't done anything to rectify this. I ended up removing ALL Apple products and then reloading iTunes, it's a pain, but it's the only way to date that I have got iTunes back!

Hi, first time on help! how do I find and download the latest version of itunes on my iphone 4. just tried to sync with itunes and error stated I need newest version!!!

Hi, can anybody help!
Just tried to sync my iphone in itunes and received an error(need the latest version of itunes)
I have tried to download this but no joy. I need 11.1.4
Can anybody tell me whare to find and download this on my phone.

It is telling you that you need to install the latest version of itunes on your computer, not your iphone
Itunes is bult into the iphones operating system. You do not download itunes at all on your iphone.

I have installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows 8 but when I try to open it, it says Windows has an error and I simply can't open it any longer. Any help is appreciated!

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

WHEN TRYING TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES, I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT. MSVCR80.dll was not found

AFTER DOWNLOADING THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES, I CAM GETTING AN ERROR WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT. MSVCR80.DLL WAS NOT FOUND. UNABLE TO LOCATE COMPONENT. BEFORE I REMOVE THIS VERSION AND TRY TO RELOAD AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO BE SURE I WOULDN'T LOSE ALL 200 PURCHASED SONGS ON MY PC.

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.

HT201210 After downloading latest version of iTunes it will not open. This error message is displayed; The program can't star because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Then a second error box

After iTunes requested that I download latest version on PC it now will not open. 2 error messages appear. first: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. second: iTunes was not installed correctly please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). I have tried reinstalling a number of times and restarting computer but no luck.

This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes. I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

I am unable to upload the latest version of iTunes. It worked before and when prompted uploaded the newest version. Now I'm unable to access iTunes..."Error 7 Windows Error126. Insufficient privileges". What do I do?

When I try to instal latest version of iTunes onto my computer I get error messages, and then the only way for me to access iTunes is to do a System Restore to and earlier restore point

When I try to install the latest version of iTunes, during the installation I get error messages saying that a program is trying to change registry and the installation is stopped.
After this happens the only way that I can open iTunes is to do a 'system restore' to an earlier time.
Has anyone else experienced this and can you help?

Could you please post the exact text of the error message or provide a screenshot?
There is advice on issues with the update at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. One of the entries in the further information section refers to a possible registry permissions problem which might be what you are seeing.
