HT1926 i installed itunes and it wont open

I installed the new version of iTunes and it will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. I have even tried to go back to the older version but it will not open now either. Suggestions?

Is there an error message? If so give it in full.
Do you have Quicktime installed?
Does it work normally?

Just installed itunes and it wont open!

i just installed itunes on a brand new hp computer with windows xp. the installation finished successfully, but when i click on the itunes icon on the desktop the cursor turns to a searching sign for afew seconds, but itunes will not open. i have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and nothing seems to work. i need help!

Hi amanda6789
Please look through the forums. You will see most often problems are caused by antivirus/antispy software conflicting with iTunes.
Ensure you always download the iTunes programme to your pc (save to desktop for example) not try to install online and disable AV/Spy software before you try to run the install.

Itunes and quicktime wont open when click on it

Hi,
I am unable to open Itunes or Quicktime on my netbook. I have tried reinstalling the software but it wont work. Please can someone advise how I can get it working.
Thanks in advance

In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files. (Those sorts of applications often use the Visual C++ runtimes to keep track of the componentry, so it seems consistent that an update to those could cause the symptoms to flare up on a PC.)
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit Windows 7, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows 7, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Have you tried installing a stand alone version of quicktime?

quicktime WITHOUT itunes included

Itunes and Internet wont open because of a "netsh reset" code

My Itunes store was having troubles opening before, and i couldnt figure anything out to make it work. i updated it, redownloaded it, and finally used a "Netsh reset" code in the command prompter. this resulted in Itunes not even opening, and neither did my internet. i've no idea how to fix it or what to do. help?

Try removing QUicktime and installing the stand alone version. Also check for incompatible software.
Here is a method
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Both itunes and quicktime wont open!

so its been a few days and my itunes has not opened.
a message keeps popping up that says::
itunes has encountered an needs to close...send//dont send error report.on some topics i read that the problem may be quicktime-related, so i tried opening up my quicktime player. however, that would not open either!
i dont want to uninstall itunes because i dont want to lose my music, and im afraid to uninstall quicktime because i dont know if i have the program to reinstall it later on.
someone help!
thankss,
ashley.

hi ashlay!
here's how to do a careful standalone reinstall of QuickTime:
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Installed Itunes and will not open

I have installed and uninstall itunes on my Laptop mulitiple times and it will not open up. I have tried to run it as administrator, repairing it, unistalling it and reinstalling and it will not open. Is there an error or problem with the windows version for this to keep happening?

No, nothing at all happens. Once clicked the 'circle' that suggest it is loading appears (if that makes sense) but no, nothing
Many thanks.
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)?

I just downloaded the newest version of itunes and it wont open. I've tried everything and it just refuses to open the program. HELP!

Help Help Help. I just want my itunes to open but since I downloaded the new version (11.1) it refuses to!

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096). I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do to get itunes to work?

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. 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):
