hi Mal!

what proved to be the problem the first time around? did you have to go into MSCONFIG? if so, did you find weird 4- or 6-letter start-up item names?

  • Help! iTunes wont start:S

    When i try to start iTunes it wont star it says "iTunes has a problem and must be closed" dont know the reason or anything:S

    Try these steps
    But I would start with the standalone quicktime install step within the link below, before you try everything else. Make sure to disable antivirus when installing...

  • ITunes wont start up

    Hi, i had a look on this answer to a topic : itunes wont start :
    +The QuickTime problem is most likely causing the iTunes launch problem. So let's try swapping out your QuickTime again taking a few additional explicit precautions.+
    +Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.+
    +Next, we’ll manually remove any 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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)+
    +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".+
    but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
    and i cant get rid of it. Pls help. Any ideas? Thx. J

    but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
    Let's try getting the program uninstalled by other means then.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
    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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer
    Does the repair install go through properly now? Or do you get another error message when you try the repair install?

  • Itunes wont start, computer says to download latest version 7.5

    iTunes wont start, solution computer gives it to download latest version 7.5. nut when i download it and install 7.5 on my computer, which i have done several times, it doesn't work and says i should download the latest update.....which i already have! is it Vista related, or is relating to version 7.5?....please help me!!

    I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
    "this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
    Hope that works!

  • Itunes wont start and i get no error messages

    i just downloaded itunes 7.3 and itunes wont start any ideas how to fix?

    Okay. I'm still wondering about your firewall. A "persistent" iTunes.exe in your processes is most consistent with a firewall blocking iTunes, iTunesHelper and/or QuickTime from accessing the Internet. (Norton Internet Security 2005 is by far the worst offender in this regard, but it can be produced both other firewalls too.)
    Head into the Firewalls settings and make sure that iTunes, iTunesHelper, and QuickTime are all being allowed full access to the internet.
    If iTunes still doesn't launch after making sure the firewall is correctly adjusted, reboot the PC and try the suggestion from the following document. (It's a much rarer issue, but it can also produce that persistent iTunes.exe symptom in conjunction with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.)

  • Just updated and now iTunes wont start

    I have just updated iMac as I havn't used it for a while.
    iTunes wont start.
    Any ideas?

    My iMac just came back from the shop with a new logic board. It had been out of commission for a few months so I just did the the general software update.
    Tried clicking from the apps folder but this didnt work either.
    But....
    Got a tip from another online blog and just downloaded itunes from the apple site and reinstalled it. This fixed the problem. Had to do the same with Quiktime as well as it wouldn't open all movie types.
    Thanks for your help

  • Help, iTunes wont start

    I was using iTunes this morning and it was working fine. I get back this afternoon and when I click on the iTunes logo in my dock, it jumps one time, the arrow appears under it, then the arrows go away and the icon stops jumping. That's it, no error message, no nothing. I attempted to rectify the situation by uninstalling iTunes, then re-downloading it from Apple and installing it. I installed it ok, went to open it and it did the same thing. I moved my iTunes Library, thinking there might be something wrong in there, and it still wont start up. This is the first problem I have had of any kind since I've had this Powerbook, it'll be a year this October. Can anyone help?

  • Itunes Wont Start At All No Error Messages Nothing HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My Itunes Wont Work At All No Error Message Comes Up NOTHING ive Uninstalled , Deleted the Files in c Drive and Re Installed it Over and Over Again Quicktime Works Fine But When i Open Quicktime My Itunes is on there :S its very Confusing But i still cant Sync music Onto my Ipod or Buy Any Music Please Help Me!!!!!!!

    Does iTunes.exe persist in the task manager or disappear again quickly. This can be a clue to the cause of the problem.
    If iTunes persists this points to either firewall blocking or a damaged configuration file.
    Try briefly turning off your firewall to see if iTunes will launch. Otherwise the link I will give at the end tells you how to delete the configuration file.
    If iTunes doesn't appear or appears briefly and then disappears this may be a digital signing issue, also dealt with in the link.
    It is a good idea to scan your PC for viruses and spyware, as malware can cause problems.
    Apple article on troubelshooting launch problems:
    XP version
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    Vista version
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305491
    If the things I suggested above don't wiork, try working through the whole article.
    All this is on the assumption that your Quicktime is working normally. I am a bit worried that you have been installing and uninstalling different versions, it just complicates the issue.

  • Can anyone help? itunes wont open and i need music!

    hello im new to this so excuse me if im rambling.
    Ive recently updated software when turning on my mac when it offered it automatically and now my itunes wont open. A box comes up saying " the application itunes quit unexpectedly. other applications are not affected. click reopen to open the application again" blah blah...
    And of course it wont open if i repeatedly try.
    Can any of you lot tell me what i can do to rectify this and save me a whopping £35.00 that apple isists on getting if you want any help from them via the old phone!
    Thanku thanku thanku if u can shed some light on this for me!

    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.

    Now, is iTunes opening at all, with or without the iPod nano connected? See if either of these links helps at all.

  • Itunes wont start in Windows7 Professional 64-bit, it used to work fine now it won't start!

    OK, So my itunes use to work fine until yesterday when I went to open it. It wont start and I tried many different things. Unistalled, re-installed, removed everything apple related (one of the apple support articles told me to try that) and that didn't work either. I know this question may have been posted earlier but I can't find anything for this specific issue (win7 pro, 64bit).
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

    Before you go knocking a much better OS than you'd wish to believe, I'm having the SAME problem in XP.
    And now, instead of showing up as one Multimedia Audio Controller...
