HT4216 Diagnostics for iTunes for Windows when iTunes won't run at all?

I would like to run iTunes diagnostics but am unable to get iTunes to run at all.  Install and repair both report that iTunes is installed correctly.  Are there any diagnostics available where iTunes will not run at all?  Complete uninstall of all Apple products with registry wipe didn't help.

EULA! EULA! EULA!   Greetings! I had the same problem on my PC for over a year!  Itunes would download, appear to install correctly.. and then I'd get error messages about files not being found.. uninstall and start over to have the same thing happen again and again...  I finally decided that I would track down the problem and I did!!  Its very simple....
After install, a window pops up saying Itunes installed correctly. Theres a checkbox to RUN IT NOW that is checked by default.. THIS IS THE PROBLEM  It tries to force itunes to run before you accept the EULA.. Uncheck the RUN NOW box and click done or ok.. and immediately, the EULA pops up.. Accept it and then run itunes from the desktop shortcut and it should work perfectly!

  • I updated to the latest iTunes, and now iTunes won't run at all

    I downloaded the newest update, and now iTunes won't open at all.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and emptying my "temp" folder, but to no avail.  Any ideas?

    Well, I fiddled around with things more, and now it's running.  I think what made it work was by going to All Programs, where I saw Apple Software Update.  I ran that, and it seemed to do the trick.  I hope this helps other people with the same problem.

  • Itunes 9.1 update for Windows Vista (x64) won't run, why???

    I have been running itunes for several years and have had no problems. I updated today to the latest version (9.1). The update seemed to go fine. However, when I try and run itunes the computer whirrs and flashes as if the software is starting but nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the result is the same, it simply won't launch/run.
    Looking at other discussions there are obviously lots of people with similar problems, but I can't find a solution that works, can anyone help??
    I'm about to order an iphone (i have an ipod) but there's not much point if the software doesn't work. Help!

    I had exactly the same problem and I spent 3 Hours 2 Min on the phone with Apple Support. Basically there is a conflict with Bonjour and you have to disable Bonjour first, then go into the control panel and uninstall all Apple Applications. iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, and finally Bonjour in that order. (If you try to uninstall Bonjour before disabaling, you will pull your hair out because it will not uninstall until it's disabled.)
    Then reinstall iTunes 9.1 and it will work. However Bonjour will not work, therefore if you have Apple Wireless Applications, Apple TV, such as I have, etc. they won't work.
    iTunes works fine now and I've been able to synch my iPhone, with no problems. I sure hope they come out with a fix soon. I'm surprized they didn't post a fix as I mentioned, because while I was on the phone with them, they indicated I wasn't the only one with that problem, but I guess they are busy with the iPad rollout.

  • ITunes won't run at all after updating 10.5

    I have recently updated iTunes to 10.5, and now it won't run/open at all. Gives me an error and doesn't even open it at all. I have tried everything apple says to do but nothing has worked so far. Please help me, I really want my iTunes running again! If you need more information/details, please ask. I'd be happy to help you if you're going to help me. :-)

    Anyone? Please?

  • ITunes won't run - invisible window where iTunes should be, but it never launches.

    I'm running Windows Vista 32 (I know, I should upgrade) and over the last few weeks, I noticed that my podcast wasn't downloading new eps.   Now, iTunes won't run at all.
    I've done a full scan of the PC and there are no viruses found.   I'm using Kaspersky.
    I've un-installed all Apple apps and rebooted before trying to reload iTunes and it never runs.
    Anyone have any idea what might be preventing iTunes from running?
    I have a Windows 7 PC on the other desk, connected through the same switch and Cable Modem and iTunes is running fine on it, so it's not network / internet related, as far as I can tell.
    Thank you,
    J

    "The feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to another folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi in the box below"
    Let's just run through the standard procedures for that one again, just to be sure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Then use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. (Launch CleanUp, find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, and remove those entries.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?
    (If any step of this procedure failed to work, explain to us as best you can what the problem was.)

    then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."

    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

    After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

  • I have upgraded to the latest firefox v7.0.1 for windows, when i click on its icon it doesnt open up? I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but nothing happend it still doesnt work?

    I have upgraded to the latest firefox v7.0.1 for windows, when i click on its icon it doesnt open up? I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but nothing happend it still doesnt work?

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

  • So I've downloaded a tv series from iTunes onto my macbook pro, for some reason the episodes on my iTunes won't play at all. no sound and no images. any suggestions and help?

    so I've downloaded a tv series from iTunes onto my macbook pro, for some reason the episodes on my iTunes won't play at all. no sound and no images. any suggestions and help?

    Hi,
    As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
    Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.

  • Do not find the option for windows when I press the the option key during restart, since I downloaded Lion

    I still do not find any option for windows when I restart my mac when pressing the option key.  It used to go to windows when I pressed the option key during a restart but since I have downloaded Lion, it always go to mac.  I do not want to make a permanent switch. ANy suggestions on how to get back to using the option key?

    You probably need to reinstall your Windows machine.
    I'm not certain, but I have a feeling the install of Lion wipes it out, going by the number of threads started along similar lines since Lion's release.

  • Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

    Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

    Hey try this out:
    Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
    window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
    in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
    manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
    Let me know if this works out.
