Hi Reeve7,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In Windows 8, you should make sure you can find your iTunes library files, and you may want to backup to a different location. After that, reinstalling should fix the problem.
Good luck,

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Your library should be safe, but you ought to back it up anyway.

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

I can not open my iTunes anymore

i can not open my iTunes anymore i keep on getting an error message

Hello scrubzy,
What are your OS X and iTunes version ?
Try to delete iTunes Preferences :
Go to your-user-name/Library/Preferences
Delete all files with iTunes in their name
Launch iTunes
If that doesn't work, the best way is to reinstall iTunes :
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Your files (music, apps, videos...,) won't be deleted.
Hope this will help.

I can not open my itunes folder!!

I can not open my itunes folder. An error message pops up saying: The folder "itunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder... How can i open itunes?! ive tried reinstalling and repair but its still not working

Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

I can't open my iTunes "Error: New iTunes Library" help =(

Starting today, I can not open my iTunes library. Every time I try to open it, a error message shows up saying "Error: New iTunes Library". I don't know how to fix it. I've tried restarting my computer, taking the battery out, uninstalling iTunes (I couldn't uninstall it either! It wouldn't let me), and deleting the recent library change. Nothing has worked. I need help on how to fix it and what the error means please!

I can't open my itunes all of a sudden

Does anybody know why I can't open my itunes on my mac? I didn't update to the 11.1. is that the problem?

Download the current version from here:

I'm using Windows XP2. Can't open my "iTunes Store" page. Have to struggle to get to my library. Have uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times. Cleared associate apps in Add/Remove. Re-booted after every operation. No change. Still opens in library.

I'm using a Windows XP (32 Bit). I can't open my "iTunes Store" page. I have to struggle just to open the iTunes icon. When I do, it opens directly to my music library. When I try to click to the iTunes Store, it opens to a blank page with the words "iTunes Store" embossed in gray in the middle of the page. That's it! NO GRAPHICS! I even tired the "Diagnostics" test. It shows that there is a disconnect with the internet and the iTunes Store. When I clicked the "Help" button next to it, it opened to a totally blank page. Nothing. I'm trying to sync an iPad 2 to iTunes on that computer. It shows on the computer that the apps have been synced, but they are not present on the iPad. Just as a note: the apps and info in the account has been loaded on the computer via 3Gs and then a 4S phone. Thank you for any and all help in this matter.

TS3212 I can't open my iTunes because it says MSVCR80.dll was not found. What can I do? Have I lost my entire library?

I can't open my iTunes because it says MSVCR80.dll was not found. What can I do? Have I lost my entire library? Thank you for any help.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

You might have two different things going on at once here.
Starting with the registry settings message.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
