I have tried re-installing and all kinds of stuff. Am now at the point of smashing my pc as i cant update my ipod and i hate windows media player !!! Help Help Help !!
My firewall software is Panda Platinum Internet Security 2006 - does this affect it as i have read that some firewall programmes are not compatible with itunes (although it worked fine before).

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix.

Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

I have same problem on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC. Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far. Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes. Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:- open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes. Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS. I-tunes will now re-open ok. You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

Hi there Scottielongdrive,
You may want to try removing and reinstalling iTunes as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

ITunes wont launch - just upgraded but running OS10.6.8 on my powerbook that I use for iTunes

alias for discussions: lolobacsi
iTunes wont launch now that I have upgraded it a short time ago. I am running OS10.6.8 on an older MacBookPro I use primarily for iTunes

What happens when you try? Error messages? Try re-installing it.
iTunes 11.2.2

HELP Itunes wont launch after upgrading

I downloaded the latest Itunes, and then tried to launch it.
I keep getting the following message
"error getting file security :\C\program files\get last error 5
I have even tried to remove I tunes through the add & remove section in the control panel, but this also does not allow me to do this and i get the same message.
Can someone help ???

I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
some preliminary questions.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

My itunes wont launch, and none of these articles have helped. Does anyone know what to do to fix it?

Hi,

Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

HELP ME ! Itunes wont load !

I am so annoyed ! I click on itunes on my dell inspiron and the mouse will turn to the blue swirly thing and then it will just go back to the mouse and itunes wont pop up! please please help me! should i re-download ???

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)?

Help please! itunes wont open

i am using a windows XP and my itunes will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime numerous times and itunes will still not open. Quicktime opens fine. I have also opened my Task Manager and itunes appear under processes but it disapears after a few seconds. please help!

Quicktime opens fine. I have also opened my Task Manager and itunes appear under processes but it disapears after a few seconds.
Hmmmm. Are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch iTunes? (Just the hourglass and then nothing?)
If so, then that in conjunction with your other symptoms (QuickTime launching fine, and just a brief appearance of iTunes.exe in your Processes tab after launching iTunes) is most consistent with a problem with the digital signing of drivers on your PC.
Try running through the "Resolution" section of the following document:
Detecting digital signing issues in Windows XP
If iTunes starts launching again after reregistering those dlls, then strongly consider doing vigorous malware scans afterwards. (The initial deregistering of those dlls can sometimes be done by malware.) Download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. If your security software providers offer them, also try an "online" scan too. (Ther can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)

Itunes wont launch, though it says its running

So heres the deal, got a new comp a few weeks ago and installed itunes on it. I'm running windows XP pro (same as on old one) and when I try to run itunes it wont launch. It says its running in my task manager though. I've tried reinstalling it, but same thing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks!

ok i think we might be onto something here with the first link, the dosent open after upgrade one. Everything went fine until step 7, the main SCinfo file exists, but the SC Info.sidb file that it shows being inside there is NOT there. Could this be a problem with the installation or something else?
Though i suppose if it wasent there at all it shouldent hurt as your supposed to delete it anyways....but if thats the case (I certainly didnt delete it already)and the fix is to delete a file that isnt there anyways, i'm not sure that will help.

ITunes wont launch without iPod

OK. So iTunes has been working perfectly up until now. I downloaded and installed the new version of iTunes last night, and all seemed to be fine then too. But, now when I try to open iTunes by itself it will not launch. I get the message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". When I connect my iPod to my computer iTunes launches automatically and works just like normal. It is only when I try to launch iTunes without my iPod connected that it refuses to open. It wouldn't be such a problem but sometimes I want to play my music without having to connect my iPod every time.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I wonder if your desktop icon has got corrupted.
iTunes auto launches with the iPod as it launches in a different way.
You could create a new desktop icon to see if that does the trick.
Open My Computer and got to C:\Program Files\iTunes.
Right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>> desktop (create Shortcut).

Itunes wont launch after update

After updating Itunes the application will not launch

that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
the following document may be of some help with that:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem

Itunes wont launch...help.

I've installed and uninstalled itunes a million times, but it still wont open when i click on the desktop icon...will someone that knows about this issue please help?

I dont have nortons antivirus, but i do have modzilla fire fox, avg free and NOD32 could this be causing the problem?
hmmm. i don't usually associate nod32 with error-message-free itunes launch failures (although sometimes i've seen it interfere with itunes writing to library files). and the brief appearance of itunes.exe is more consistent with malware problems than security software interference. but we'd better check on the security software interference angle anyway.
try making sure that both itunes and ituneshelper are being allowed full access to the internet in your nod32. if you have to change your nod settings to do that, reboot the PC afterwards. do you get an itunes launch after the reboot?
