Error when starting iTunes... will not start. help please!!

so earlier I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was having trouble installing it. I downloaded it a while ago when it was version 4 but I completely deleted it and installed version 7.
eventually I got it to work, however when I went to start it I got an error saying that it encountered a problem and needs to close. then another one comes up saying that it generated problems and I need to restart the program. I did, and the same thing happened.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire thing 3 times; same error. I called Apple Support and they said they couldn't help me b/c I am operating in Windows XP, and Microsoft's support is closed right now. I tried repairing it and nothing works. can anyone help please??

hmmmm. okay, if your itunes.exe is running continually in Task Manager, that suggests that you don't have the Qoologic problem that Ewido fixes. (with that one, the itunes.exe typically just shows up for a few seconds, if at all ... although in some cases of multiple malware infections, it hangs around for 10 to 30 seconds.)
so let's check on the usual suspects when itunes.exe persists in Task Manager.
if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:

... but if you don't have NIS 2005, or it doesn't seem to work for you, let's also check up on this possibility:

Itunes will not load - help please!

Hello,
I've seen a lot of helpful responses on this forum so I'm trying my luck!
Yesterday my itunes worked fine, today I try to open it and I get the little egg timer symbol next the the mouse (I run XP) and the computer sounds like it's doing stuff but Itunes never appears.
I can see itunes.exe and itunes helper in the processes when ctrl-alt-del.
So far I have tried reinstalling itunes, deleting and reinstalling quicktime, deleting some file or other as directed by the online help and also scanning using ewido but none of this has helped.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
Alex

You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

Itunes will not load, someone please help!?

i have read all the forums, and nothing is working for the technical help that I need, itunes will not load or work and no matter what help I am trying to seek, nothing is working. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, everything that people are advising but nothing seems to work. Basically each time I try to click on itunes to load, the timer appears but nothing else. I have just replaced my iphone and I cant get it to sync with my itunes so basically i cant use my phone either, please help anyone?! thanks, terri!

I believe the files need to be in MPEG-4 format. Or that is what I am converting my movies in and it works fine.
Movies you download off of iTunes are in M4V format, which is probably Apples MPEG-4 format name.

How can i fix this

hi amyerf!
It persists to stay in the task manager...
if itunes.exe is persisting in Task Manager, we should try the following two possibilities first.
if you have Norton Internet Security, try:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302775
... but if the problem persists (or you don't have NIS), see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
keep us posted.

Only certain apps that had this feature added will show from an original iPad to a video out - whether VGA or HDMI. It does not have true mirroring, like the iPad2 does.

Itunes error 45075, itunes will not run help

from a system clean up and deletion of restore points!! iTunes ill not run I have tied reinstalling, repairing, uninstalling following with an install and still it will not run! I have obviously deleted something relatively important and now the computer has no restore point which will resolve my issue.
Help is greatly appreciated.

The 2096 erro may be associated with running in compatabilty mode, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305212
None of the tick boxes on the compatability tab should be checked.
It is also worth checking iTunes.exe in c:Program Files\iTunes.

I have connected a company iPhone to iTunes and it will not sync, help please!

My company have several iPhones which are setup through the same iTunes account but when you connect them to the pc it will not sync. I need to update them and load the latest software as they are still running on very old software. Help would be much appreciated!

Is this the computer to which they normally sync? If not... save yourself some hassle.
iDevices are designed to sync to only one computer/library. Attempts to sync to another computer/library will wipe all content. Upgrading the device requires a backup prior to the update which will remove all content if this is not the computer they normally sync with.

OSX 10.6 Will Not Startup - Help Please!

OK. I am running Snow Leopard (latest version) which was all working wonderfully until I installed a T-mobile dongle. Since restarting the system after installing the dongle the OS will not start. It gets to the screen where the Apple logo appears and the spinning cog but remains in that state permanant.
So far I have tried the following:
Reset RAM
Tried to start in safe mode
Started with install disc and used diskutility to check disk. All was fine
Fixed permissions
Now I know this problem is something to with the software the T-mobile dongle has installed. Is there any way of removing without loading the OS via termianl or something (I would need detailed instructions).
Or is there anything else I can try failing archive and reinstall which is my very last resort.
Thanks everybody.
Stefan

Hi Stefan2908;
You might be able to remove the T-Mobile crap if you have access to another Mac and boot your Mac in Target Disk Mode with the two Mac connected via Firewire. That should give you access to the disk in your Mac from the other Mac.
