I can't get my itunes to open.

If you're looking ehre you already know the issue. I can't get my itunes to open up. At all. I click the icon on my bottom bar and it briefly acts like it's going to open (like, 2 seconds of the circular icon) then it does absolutely nothing. I opened up my task menu to see if it's registering as sometimes I've had programs not open due to there being one "open" but not available.
I see the usual iTunes helper but nothing else. So, with the task window open I attempt to open my itunes to see if it is at least attmpeting to open. Alas, i see the .exe for itunes. Two seconds later it disappears.
I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. It's doing the same thing it had been.
Any advice to fix this issue would be grand.

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I can not get my iTunes 10.3 to play any of my songs as a message comes up instantly that iTunes has stopped working etc.

    I can not get my iTunes 10.3 on my Windows 7 32 bit PC.  As soon as I click on a song in my library a message comes up telling me that iTunes has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes), then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • I constatnly have to restart my computer to get my iTunes to open. I have updated to the latest version and still have same problem. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

    I constantly have to restart my computer to get my iTunes to open. Does anyone know of a solution?

    Here are the two ways that I run apps as admin in Win 7. Would recommend trying the first method to see if it works before you use the second method.
    First: I use this one if I only need to do it occasionally (you may find this way tedious after a few days). Right click on iTunes and the context menu will pop up. Click on "Run as administrator" then another popup will open asking you to confirm if you want to allow iTunes to have admin privilleges (this happens every time any app requests higher privelliges), choose yes and if our issues are the same iTunes should load.
    Second: The semi-permenant method, again I'd say try the other method first to see if this will work for you. Right click on iTunes like before but choose Properites, then go to the Compatibility tab. At the bottom you have the ability to give iTunes admin privilleges every time it loads. Check that box, then click apply then OK. You will still see the box I mentioned earlier (I can't get a screen shot of it) asking if its ok to run with higher rights, but this way is a couple of clicks less.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.

  • I can't get onto iTunes store.

    I can't get onto iTunes store when I open it from the latest version of the download.  It has only started happening with the latest version and it doesn't show anything at all.  No error messages or signs or anything.  I have even tried reinstalling it and it still doesn't work.  Also I have tried searching for something and nothing happens either.  It appears as if the status bar across the top is working and when it is supposed to show something it just leaves a blank screen.  As well as that it won't let my iPad backup and I have left it on all day to see if it needed a long time but it still doesn't work.
    I need help please.

    I have the same issue with Itunes. It freezes and will not work after doing the icloud update recently.  Here is the temporary solution that i have found.
    After opening itunes go to task manager (through Ctrl+Alt+Del) and end the process called "APSDaemon.exe*32".  After doing that itunes will start working but if you close it then you will have to restart your computer and redo the process to get it to work again.
    If anyone finds a more permanent solution please post it.  Thanks,

  • I just purchased a movie and I can't get the iTunes extras to play, the unrated version plays but I want to watch the special features . Am I just stupid or is there something simple I am not seeing?

    I just purchased a movie and I can't get the iTunes extras to play, the unrated version plays but I want to watch the special features . Am I just stupid or is there something simple I am not seeing?

    Hello there, NighHawk420.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some practical information on where to locate the iTunes Extras when purchased with a movie from iTunes:
    About iTunes LP and iTunes Extras
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3823
    When you purchase a movie with iTunes Extras, the primary movie along with the iTunes Extras will download to your iTunes Movie folder. Mouseover the cover art and click the icon on the album to open the main menu to play the movie or view other features.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.
