Help, itunes wont open and saying it is corrupt
HELP! I just went to open my itunes and it is coming up with error message saying it is corrupt. It is asking me to reinstall it. If I reinstall it, will I loose all of my music?

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?
Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT KEEPS EVERYTHING THE SAME?I am having the same issue today with the error message: "The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software".
I have done the "Repair" as you and KStyles513 suggested, and restarted my computer (did both procedures twice) but that did not work. I am still getting the same message. Today I get this message.
When the message appears, iTunes does open but when I click OK my iPhone dissappears from the Devices and I cannot see it again.
iTunes 10.5.2.11 is the version I currently have loaded. I'm using a Windows XP platform, all updates are current.

Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".

emac Mac OS X (10.4.8)You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
my aperture won't open and says "repairing library database" even when it gets up to 100% complete it just suts there frozen and won't open to the aperture screen
How many Images? How much storage space does the Library occupy? Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive?
Ignore the progress bar — it's often stuck, and therefore unreliable.
Ignore Activity Monitor reporting Aperture "Not Responding". This is, imho, a bug Apple should have squashed years ago.
Repairing (or doing any operations an entire Library) a large Library can take hours or days. You did not report what you did to get past 79% — I'm going to guess you Force-quit Aperture. Force-quitting any database is always a bad idea and should only be done as a last resort. Each time you force quit, you are likely adding to your problem.
Restart the rebuild, and let it run, unmolested, for at least 40 hours. IME, at some point the progress bar with jump to 99%, then 100%, and then stay there for perhaps a few more hours, and then it finishes.
I have _never_ had a repair or a rebuild (I have not had to do many rebuilds) _not_ finish. One took about 82 hours, but it finished.
If your Library is small — say, fewer than 100,000 Images _and_ smaller than 100 GB — and you're seeing these very long rebuild times, you likely have an actual problem — but the only way I know to find out is to let the rebuild continue. (I don't store any but small video in Aperture, and very few of them, so my numbers may not correspond to Libraries that store videos.)
Did you notice any other problems before Aperture itself recommended rebuilding?
In short: let it run unmolested. -
TS1398 i cant click on the wi-fi.it wont open and says no wi-fi
i cant click on the wi-fi it wont open just says no wi-fi
Try re-booting the phone. If that doesn't fix it, restore, if that doesn't work, restore it as a new phone.
If none of those clear it up, then it will need to be serviced as the WiFi radio has failed. -
I attempted to update itunes to the newest upgrade, and the upgrade was unsucceful, and now this error comes up everytime i try to open itunes (it wont open at all). the error says
Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.wav\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe.
Verify that you have sufficent access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
This makes no sense since this is on my home PChmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
preliminaries
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
uninstall
use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
reboot after uninstalling.
reinstall
remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
keep us posted on your progress.
