HT1386 iTunes will not load on my windows XP computer

To Whom It May Concern:
I have a laptop that runs windows XP Pro, and my iTunes is corrupted to the point it will not load and I can not sync my iPad. I reloaded iTunes and it can not complete a full reinstall, because my files are corrupted. I would like to a completed de-install however I don’t want to loss my backup files.
Can someone give me some suggestions regarding what I need to do?
Thanks,
Dred1130

First try:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Then try moving the backup to a safe place and then rebuild your computer amd backup up your Tunes library.
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
For more help go the the iTunes forum.

ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open. I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck. I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it. Can someone help?

ITunes will not start on my windows 7 computer

iTunes will not open on windows 7, help!
I have an HP laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, the iTunes version is 11.1.5.5. About a year ago my screen broke on my HP laptop so I moved the hard drive into an older computer. I recently moved my hard drive from the old laptop back to the new. least opened on the older laptop but now it will not open at all. I've searched all around the web and still haven't found an answer. It's becoming very aggravating. Other programs
I uninstalled every apple related program and reinstalled them, I deleted old apple files, scanned for malware, drivers, Nothing seems to work i'd greatly appreciate the help.
iTunes at least opened on the older laptop but it would stay stuck at analyzing gapless playback, now it will not open at all. I've searched around the web and still haven't found an answer, it's becoming very aggravating.Programs stop working as well such as Catalyst control center, I had to get a new sound driver, Firefox wasn't working, Movie maker, and vlc video player.
I uninstalled every apple related program and reinstalled multiple times, I deleted old apple files, scanned for malware, drivers, disk defragmenting. Nothing seems to work I'd greatly appreciate the help because my iphone died two nights ago and when i plugged it in to charge it would show the battery, then spple logo almost immediatly, then the passcode and it would die and do it again, basically stuck in an endless reboot. Now it's current;y stuck in recovery mode and I want to restore it but of course iTunes isn't working, life is hard so please give me a hand apple I like apple I don't wanna get an android haha.

Doublechecking before proceeding. Are you getting an error message on the new laptop when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

How do I receive credit for Lightroom 5 as it will not load on my Windows Vista computer?

I ordered and attempted to download Lightroom 5 on my Windows Vista computer. Download was interrupted and I then saw that my computer does not meet the requirements. I wrote to someone on Live Chat on the same day (January 6, 2014). I was told the case was escalated to the higher level of support for refund and that I would hear from Adobe in 2-3 business days. OK, now it is January 14th. Please someone help...

If it were me, I'd install it anyway - but don't go crying to Adobe (or me) if you have problems :

V 1.1.2. Video IPOD Will Not Load onto my Windows XP Computer

So here's the dealio, I've had this Ipod Video for some time. It worked just fine on my original computer but when I got a new and more recent computer, it doesn't even register on the Ipod that it's being connected to the computer. It does however charge through the computer,which doesn't make sense to me. When I plug it through the chord that came with the Ipod to the computer, there is a ring but nothing else. It isn't on My Computer file, doesn't bring up the new hardware option and when I even try to use the CD that came with it, it comes to the "Please plug in your Ipod now." and I do but nothing happens, same ordeal happens too.
Summary:
1. It doesn't show on the Ipod that it's connected to the computer
2. It does charge
3. It can't even be used through the CD
4. The Add New Hardware option doesn't pop up when it is plugged in.
5. The "ding" does sound when it is plugged in.
6. It did work with my other computer.
Can anyone help me?
Is it the computer?
Windows XP

ITunes will not install on new Windows 7 computer

I'm trying to download iTunes onto my new computer. I give my email address and download it, then towards the end I get an error message that says the installer is for the 32-bit version, please download the 64-bit version. The 64-bit version is what pops up when I go to the download page, and what is in the file name of the download. I even when to the list and tried both versions, and I get the same message.
What should I do?

Do you get an error message when you try to download iTunes, melissa? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Itunes will not open on my windows 8 computer..can someone please help?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv.

Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv. both the computer and apple tv are wired connections on my home network. Checked the network speed and it is between 0 and 1 ms response. This problem just started last week. Only new software introduced recently was update to Norton 360.
Thanks

I know very little about windows but security software is notorious for causing the type of problem you have, you may want to contact Symentec and ask them which settings you need to change.

Itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
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.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

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.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?" I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes. Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing. In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
Thanks for your interest in helping!
