I can't open iTunes on my laptop.

I get a message 'The folder containing 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be found and it is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes Library' My Laptop runs Vista. I can see the music files etc if I look in the My Computer folders. I have always used it with an iPod Touch but yesterday added an iPad2. Both synced ok yesterday.

  • I can't open Itunes on my laptop. "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causes the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" is the message. what is the problem here?

    I can't open my Itunes program in my laptop computer with windows 8. the message is "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causess the program to stop working properly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I reboot  the machine, Uninstall and re install the  Itune program, stilll the same message pops up.

    The first thing to try is System Restore to take you back to a point in time when it did work. If that is not successful, create a new user on the computer. log in with that and see if ID will start. This will tell us if the problem is in the system/program or the user account.
    If it works in a new user account, see Replace Your Preferences and in addition to replacing the prefs, empty the InDesign Recovery folder that will be in the same location and the InDesign SavedData file.

  • HT1443 I can't open iTunes. My PC gives a runtime error R6034. Please help !

    I was updating my Quicktime i guess. There was a internet problem and i couldn't finish the update. After i got everytime a Runtime Error with the code R6034. I delete iTunes and Quicktime from my laptop and install them again but still i can't open iTunes on my laptop. Anyone has a idea to sowl this problem?
    THX

    Quicktime is no longer a required component of iTunes. I would uninstall that and then fix the start-up issue with the following...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Apple:  Give me a way to stop TV downloads on iTunes, or I stop buying shows on my AppleTV.  That simple.   I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.

    I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.  Tonight I had to go to iTunes to verify my payment info - even though I'd already done that two days ago - and before I can even access the iTunes Store, iTunes starts downloading 44 TV shows that I've purchased over the last few months on my AppleTV; before I could completely stop it, it had entirely filled up my hard drive - 180 GB.  There's NO reason there isn't a way to stop auto-downloads of TV shows - every other type of media has the ability to stop auto-downloads, and given that I have an AppleTV (for now!), why in pasta's name would I want to load them onto my laptop?!

  • Can't open itunes on windows 7 32bit

    I can't open itunes 10.7 on my laptop with opera system windows 7 ultimate 32bit

    this might help you out http://www.filehorse.com/download-itunes-32/ if  not just go to the apple main page and if it does not have the 32 bit version then use the link i have, i would recommend that you run it through windows defender first just to make sure it hiding any viruses 

  • Recently I did an update and now can't open iTunes.  I get a Runtime Error telling me C Runtime library loaded incorrectly.  Please help?

    Recently, I did an update on iTunes on my Acer laptop. Now I can't open iTunes & I get a Runtime Error telling me C Runtime library is loaded incorrectly.  I have Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to reinstall iTunes.

    Hi sungoddess69,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To resolve this error, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    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.

  • Failed iTunes update - now I can't open iTunes at all

    iTunes update on Windows 7 failed - laptop was accidentally shut down.  Now I can't open iTunes - I get these messages:
    Runtime Error!
    Program:C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    and when I OK that there is a following message:
    iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
    Unfortunately, for some reason my laptop will not allow me to uninstall iTunes (erroneously says I don't have administrative authority).
    I've tried restoring the system to a date prior to the iTunes update but that hasn't worked either. 
    I'm not particularly computer savvy so is there anyone out there who can offer some advice please?

    Hi there,
    Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files THEN folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.

  • When I open itunes on my laptop, how do i stop itunes from automatically prompting for my apple account info?

    When I open itunes on my laptop, and I have connected my iPod Touch, how do I stop itunes from automatically prompting for my apple account info?  I'm usually not intending to make any purchases at that time, so do they need to know my account info?

  • Can't open itunes...shocker!

    I can't open itunes and I've tried a number of possible solutions that have been posted on this forum. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, disabled my firewall, etc. I could try backing over my laptop with my car because that seems like the only thing I have not tried.
    My itunes worked fine until I attempted to download the new itunes.
    I'm at my wits end and just want to get rid of my current itunes and reinstall the older version that worked! Can someone please let me know what to delete and reinstall?
    thanks very much!

    hi Timothy!
    you're making progress. you've already fixed one problem (probably with the QT standalone install). no need to do any more reinstallations at this stage.
    norton disabled. i even tried the stand alone quicktime approach. now, when i try to open itunes, i get nothing. no error message, but itunes will not open.
    was that Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, try the Lorraine technique:
