I cannot open itunes on my desktop....Error -50

I read somewhere that that error pertains to downloading. Am I right and what should I do? I want to hear some music....Help please.

Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

    Try TS2363: iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

  • I cannot open itunes due to an error 126. I have never backed up my music and do not want to lose anything if I uninstall and then install again. How can I be sure my music is safe?

    I cannot open itunes due to an error126. I have never backed up my music library and am worried I will lose it all if I uninstall and then install itunes. Any suggestions??

    Back it up. While uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't normally affect the library, other things, such as drive failures, can.

  • Cannot open iTunes app, an unknown error has occurred (13026)

    My MacBook is only 9 days old. Today I installed several updates and "Garage Band". Now iTunes won't open. I tried reinstalling both iTunes and QuickTime without success. I restarted the computer multiple times. I even moved Garage Band to the trash. Any other ideas?

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • I downloaded the latest version of itunes.  Now I cannot open iTunes.  I receive this error message: The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll.  Thoughts?

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my PC.  Now I cannot open iTunes.  I receive the following error message: "The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll"  After pressing the "OK" button I receive a second error message: 'iTunes not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 127)".  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to no avail.  I've also eliminated the temp files (per suggestions on the trouble-shooting page) and no luck.  I also tried system restore and that did not fix the problem.  Any thougths on a repair?   

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • Recently I updated my iTunes account, but there was an error during installation.  Now I cannot open iTunes as an error message appears.  If I delete iTunes from my laptop then reinstall, will I still have access to all my music etc?

    The reason why I ask, is because I have another laptop which I then installed iTunes on (this was to overcome the issue of the error message and reduce the risk of losing my music etc. on my first laptop).  I cannot see any of my music on the second laptop, even when I attach my iPod.  I authorised the second laptop to link but as I cannot open iTunes on my first laptop, I cannot access my music.  I'm assuming  iTunes accounts are only stored on individual laptops/PCs and cannot be accessed remotely??  Or am I doing something wrong?  I'm not sure what I can do.

    Your iTunes library, media, playlists, and iOS device backups are safe. Please visitTroubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details. The steps in the second box should get iTunes back on track.
    I don't make any use of the homesharing feature so I can't really comment on it, but if you want to change which computer you use to manage your devices see this migrate iTunes library post.

  • When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

    When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

    Any suggestions please?

    Just downloaded Itunes 10.6 on windows7 64bit and now cannot open Itunes get error msg:ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.Tried uninstall and reinstall any help ? Thanks

    Even I am facing a similar problem. Initially the iTunes worked on my windows 64bit edition. Ever since I downloaded the latest version it has stopped identifying my 4S with an error msg that asks me to download the 64bit edition. I have tried it again and again but it did not help. After unistalling and downloading again the new error msg says " the file- iTuneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Please help!!!!!!!

  • Error: Cannot open itunes multiple users

    I tried to open itunes and got the error message "Cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open." However, there is only 1 itunes user on my computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and it worked once, but now it won't even let me install itunes. It's telling me that itunes is already being used on my computer, which it's not because it's not even installed! Someone please please help!

    I had to open the iTunes .exe file in compatability mode with the windows 08/ windows ME option.  I'm almost sure it's a software problem with the new version of itunes (~10.5)
