I can't get iTunes to open from the desktop

I am using iTunes 7.0.2.16 and the only way I can get it to open is through foxy tunes in my Firefox browser. I would delete it and reinstall it but I have a lot of carefully maintained playlists and I am afraid I will have to redo all of them if I delete iTunes.
The error message says: the action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I get this when I click on the desktop icon or from the start menu.
Any ideas?
Also, if I delete and reinstall iTunes will all of my playlists be deleted?
thanks in advance

Im not having the exact same problem, but since downloading itunes 7.7, itunes wont recognize my ipod when I connect it.
Its not the connection to the computer thats not working because the ipod icon appears in My Computer. And my ipod is working fine, its just itunes that wont recognize it...but like I say its only been acting up since yesterday afternoon when I downloaded 7.7....
....help??

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

I can't get itunes to load on the computer at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing! Why can't I get itunes to open??

I can't get itunes to open from my desktop. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Why isn't itunes working??

On my PC I had a problem where the iTunes store would only display a blank white page, I managed to display my account settings, but nothing for music, etc
I treid this and it has immediately sorted it out...
start>programs>accessories> right click on Command Prompt and run as Administrator
then simply enter 'netsh winsock reset' and return
after restarting the PC and loading up iTunes the store was there fine ;-)
I posted this on some other threads and it has been successful for the other people that have tried it

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.

How can i get HD video out from the lumia 900. ? Is there some kind of gable. ? N8 has HD cable port..so where is lumia`s port. ?

Download Zune and start it, when started connect your Lumia 900 and you can now transfer mediafiles from the Lumia to your PC through a USB connection. For Mac use the Mac connector.

TS1718 I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list

I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list. It simply stops after playing one song.

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click (on Windows) or Command-click (on Mac OS) one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

Using iTunes to put my CD collection on my computer and then to my iphone5, I have an older Optiplex with 40 Gb internal and an external 1.5Tb drive. Question is can I get itunes to point to the 1.5 Tb drive to store my music, and if so how?

Looks like I solved my own problem by going to itunes, preferences, advanced, media folder location.
