I can't open Itunes on my mac. error 130001. how to fix?

Hi gingerjacker,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you restart your Mac and try again? Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy. This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.

TS1717 Can't open iTunes, keeps getting this error "iTunes.exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80,dll was not found"

Can't open iTunes, keeps getting this error "iTunes.exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80,dll was not found"

Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.

TS1717 I can't open Itunes, I have an error that says says MSVCR80.dll is not found. I have tried twice to uninstall and reinstall but keep getting the same error message. Can anyone help?

I can't open ITunes, I have an error message that says MSVCR80.dll is not found. Is anyone able to help solve this issue for me. I have tried to unistall and reinstall ITunes twice but continue to get the same error message.

A msi file is short for microsoft installer. It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program. For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before.
I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes. It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help. Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes. It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
This was what was said.
Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can't open iTunes 7.7 - Mac user

Hi Everyone!
I've recently upgraded my Mac from Tiger to Leopard and downloaded latest upgrade of iTunes. Was working fine two days ago and now I can't open iTunes from dock. Won't even open when I click on iTunes folder. What is going on???? Can ANYONE HELP PLEASE!!!
Thanks heaps - Vicky

This is the iTunes for Windows forum and so not the most likely place for you to get help with a Mac issue. Try the iTunes for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there.
Good luck.

I can't open iTunes from my Mac at all.

I get this error message: "The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have permission for this folder." I'm very "un-techie" so I don't know what to do next. I have not done anything different with the Mac, except it did an update earlier in the week. Should I just reinstall iTunes? Any help from the community would be so appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

Can't open iTunes anymore. Get error message

I recently got an iTouch. Also recently got a new computer. I downloaded iTunes onto new computer (Windows Vista) and it worked just fine. iTouch worked too. However, one day I went to open iTunes and it didn't open. I got an error message that said: iTunes application could not be opened. Unknown error occurred (13014). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times but still get the same error message. Can anyone help me?

Hey there,
The page below might be able to help you out. Some say that by restarting your computer fixes the problem. You probably have already attempted this, but maybe try one or two more times. No harm done there. Hope this helps.

Can't open itunes because of quicktime error message

hi
when i try opening itunes i get a message saying it can't run because it detects an error with quicktime. it says click "help". then i get something saying, "http status-message kb/304424". it also says description requested response not available. does anyone know how i can fix this?
thank you

iTunes depends on a good QuickTime install, because it uses QT codecs for video and audio.
Does QT open OK? If not, uninstall it using Control Panel > ADd/Delete Programs. Then install the standalone version. More detail:

Can't open iTunes! "DrWatson Fatal Error"

hi. uhh i bought my ipod yesterday morning, its a black 30 gig ipod video. i already had iTunes and quicktime on my computer from my old ipod ( the 20 gig no color all white brick ipod ). when i tried to just plug in my new ipod to my computer and open itunes to see if i could just put my songs onto my new ipod, iTunes wouldnt even start. i uninstalled itunes and updated my ipod and then reinstalled the latest version of itunes downloaded directly off www.apple.com. still, the second i open itunes, it crashes and says DrWatson Fatal Error "Dr. Watson was unable to attach to the process. It is possible the process exited before Dr. Watson could attach to it. Windows 2000 returned error code = 87. The parameter is incorrect." i re-installed itunes and everything that had to do with my ipod including quicktime and restarted my computer and re-installed everything then restarted my computer and then tried it, praying that it would finally work. NOPE, it crashed instantaneously with the same error message. frustrated, i called apple support and spoke with a representative named Kelly. she told me to do everything that i had already done , i obeyed without question. after wasting 20 minutes of my time, we had accomplished nothing. the same error occurred and i was still mad. She later told me to follow the directions on some article under the support page of this website, i read it and followed all of the directions step by step. still. dr watson fatal error. so if anybody has any suggestions on how to fix this pain, please reply to this thread or email me at [email protected] thanks in advance.

hiya!
... good lord, i've seen that before. i call it the "Jack Gilbert special".
it's fairly rare, but there is a virus out there that produces itunes launch failures like that (sometimes without error messages, but at other times with the "itunes has ..." message), and also produces those weird Dr Watson messages.
i don't know which virus it is (nobody ever tells me which virus it is), but the free trial version of Panda antivirus has a good record against it. try googling for the Panda download site.
keep us posted.

TS1832 I can't open pages anymore. Does anyone know how to fix it. I am not a Tech. Savvy person so the more basic the answer the better

Help! I am not a tech savvy person and I am trying to work on a resume and I can no longer open pages. The dialogue box just keeps telling me my current version is not compatible. I have iwork09' and Mac OSX 10.6.8. Any ideas how to fix it.

You can do the following:
Try Trashing the Preferences files for Pages 09'.
To do that go to Finder> User Directory (which should be identified with your name i.e. johndoe in the finder's sidebar. See image below)> Library> Preferences. Look for a file that mentions pages and ends with the .plist suffix. The filename should look like pages.plist or "com.apple.pages.plist"
Image of User Directory folder in Finder:
Trash the preference file and reopen the Pages Application.
Hope this helps!

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!
