I can't get iTunes to open at all!

when i click on itunes, a window pops up and says "itunes has encountered a problem and had to close"
what does that mean?
i've tried re-installing and it doesn't work, it's been like this for a day or so.

I jacked my computer at one point and did a couple system restores in one day and for whatever reason, after I'd reinstall iTunes, it still would not load. So what I did was use the search feature and found all the iTunes files -- they are scattered all over your hard drive. Uninstall iTunes using the add/remove programs through the control panel, then do that search (click on start, then use the search feature), then download iTunes again. I don't know if that will work, but it's a good place to start. I would NOT do a system restore if you can avoid it.
Good luck!

  • Still can't get iTunes to open

    After help from this DB I uninstalled every part of my iPod Nano and iTunes from my computer, re-installed everything and still can't get iTunes to open. It thinks about it and then just doesn't open, doesn't run, nothing. I even tried going on iTunes on here and surfing around and can't get the Music Store to open. If I click on it, it opens for 1/2 a second and then flips back to the main page. Any thoughts? Sorry to be such a PITA. I'm just frustrated with a new iPod and no music.

    Okay, it seems I am not the only one with this problem. Sorry... did not see the other post until I typed this. But this is frustrating. Anyone know if I can use a later version and still use my Nano?

  • I can not get itunes to open on Windows 7...

    I just got a new iPhone and wanted to back up my old iPhone to my computer one more time before switching over...Two hours later I still can not get iTunes to open.  I have two different acounts on my computer, iTunes will load on the secondary account, but not my main account.  I logged into iTunes on that account and now have issues with libraries, and overriding and synching and deleting, and a million other messages that made me nervous about backing up my phone through the secondary account.  I just want to get iTunes to work on my main account.  I have tried several different things, and am getting incredibly frustrated.  Just in case I messed up a step of the "obvious" fixes, I would appreciate anything anyone could suggest to help   Thank you!

    Doublechecking. Have you tried the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document?

  • How can I get iTunes to open to Library instead of the iTunes Store.  It does it on one of my computers.

    How can I get iTunes to open to Library instead of the iTunes Store.  It does it on one of my computers, but I don't know how I did it.

    For me, iTunes always opens to whatever I had selected previously when it was closed.
    In other words, if I had Apps selected when I closed iTunes, the next time I opened iTunes it would be on Apps.

    Hello CHENSLER68,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

  • Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset.

    Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset. I have been using Lightroom 4 for 18  months now and this problem just started happening in the last month.

    No error messages. It acts totally normal but just never reopens when I try to reopen a new catalog. I create a catalog for each of my clients....I have done this since I started using lightroom as it seems tidy to me. But, I have never had this problem until now. I am using a pc and vista and Lightroom 4. Thanks.

  • Can't get itunes to open

    i downloaded the updated software for itunes and i can't get it to open. I double click on the icon and it won't. i go to start and try to open it that way and it won't work. i don't get any type of error message...or any message at all. it just acts as if i'm not even clicking it. help!

    1. I do have Norton Anti-Virus 2005
    2. When i attempt to launch QuickTime, i get a message that says "Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." If I click the "Do it Now" button, it tells me that my software is already the latest version. If I click cancel, the message pops up again. If I hit cancel again, then QuickTime will launch.
    3. Yes, in Task Manager, iTunes.exe shows up for a few seconds and then disappears without iTunes loading.
    good gracious. you may have two different things going on at once here. (the particular QuickTime symptoms you're getting are not typically associated with an itunes error message free launch failure.)
    just doublechecking something first ... you're getting no error messages whatsoever when launching itunes? (my questions for wazzle were designed to sort through possible causes for error message free itunes launch failures.)

  • Can't get iTunes to open after upgrading

    After I downloaded the new version of iTunes (6.0.4) i couldn't get it to open. No matter what I do the application will not open. The iTunes.exe process shows up on my Windows Task Manager screen, but the application doesn't appear under the applications tab. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes and repairing iTunes and nothing has worked. I've also tried downloading old versions of iTunes and they didn't work either. I've also tried turning off all of my anti-virus software and uninstalling then reinstalling it. All of my music is still intact, but I can't play it or use the music store because Itunes won't open. PLease help me get iTunes to open.

    How didu get those older versions, i cant find them
