HELP!!!! Itunes wont even open, no point to Ipod can't put music on it.

Ok, first of all I have tried EVERYTHING. I've tried reinstalling, uninstalling, redownloading, that anti-spyware program ewido or something? i've tried running Msconfig, I've tried windows compatibility, I've tried deleting the temporary files folder. I've tried removing Quicktime and windows. I've tried installing older versions of Itunes. ITUNES WILL NOT RUN. I just got a brand new Ipod video and I can't put any music on it because i can't install itunes. When I try to open Itunes i get a window saying "ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience."
Now, there is one thing i've noticed if this helps...it does not appear that Quicktime is installed. Its not its own program in the Add/Remove programs list. But there are quicktime processes running in the task manager. Is there any way i can put music on my Ipod without Itunes. I dont care for Itunes, i just want to be able to use my Ipod. Please anyone, any help would be great! I need to figure this out. Thanks

One solution is as per roaminggnome's suggestion - copy it from the old computer.
The other way is to get an app such as Senuti (iTunes  written backwards...!) and it will let you move music from the iPod to the Mac.

    Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • My itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    my itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • After Downloading 10.4..my itunes wont even open on my computer..anyone know the solution to this?

    After downloading 10.4 my itunes wont even open on my computer..we have tried different things to see if it will open, downloaded it again..and still it wont open.

    try running as administrator -- a temp solution for me anyway.  Waiting for apple to fix whatever this is.   At least one other poster here had same problem and "solution" worked for him as well.

  • Itunes wont even open. Double click = hour glass spin then nothing..

    I'm having a problem with itunes8. When I doubleclick on the desktop icon, or access itunes from any shortcut or the direct EXE the mouse cursor turns into the hourglas for about 3-5 seconds, goes back to normal cursor, then nothing happens. itunes wont even pop up. I get no error messages, and I DONT get the BSOD like most are reporting problems getting. I get NOTHING at all.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled with the newer updated itunes8 installer and that still will not work. I also had itunes 7.7 downloaded from the other week before 8 was released, it does the same thing. It wont run either..
    I was on the line with tech support last night (iphone tech, not itunes tech; they were closed) and we tried removing ALL startup items, installing, ect and it still did not work.
    Does anyone have any idea whats up?

    Yes, I've tried that guide..
    I spent 3 hours with tech support over the last few days and they have no idea what it could be
    I've also:
    disabled firewalls completely PLUS adding all Apple applications to exception list just in case
    done COMPLETE uninstall of ALL apple products plus used microsoft install cleaner then reinstalling
    tried booting up with NO startup items whatsoever and no services except microsoft services
    Installed quick time separately first, then itunes
    tried installing itunes 7.7
    I thought MAYBE it was because I'm running a custom version of XP (Bariski edition) so I installed itunes 8 on my other computer which is running the plain old XP SP2 from MS and it actually did the exact same thing. It "pretended" (as i like to say) to load itunes then never popped up.

    You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • My iTunes is not working, it wont even open

    My iTunes is not working, it wont even open. It bounces up and down and then stops.

    Hello Gabriellevanderelst
    Start with testing iTunes in a different user on your iMac and see if it opens. You may just need to reinstall iTunes to resolve the issue.

    I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

    When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

  • I am unable to open images in Develop Mode in Lightroom 5.4. I keep getting system crashes. Now they wont even open images up at all in any mode.

    I have Lightroom 5.4 under the CC from Adobe. EVerytime i opened an image up in Develop mode, the program would crash and Microsoft would tell me its stopped working. After playing around with it, now it wont even open up images in ANY of the modes, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH LIGHTROOM ?!?

    First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
    All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
    Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
    This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
    All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
    Hopefully this helps...

    i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.
