I cannot open or re-install itunes!

Help i cannot open my itunes/

Hey markymark49,
When you attempted to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, did you use this article?
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
All the best,
Delgadoh

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

    latest message indicates I need Apple Application Update
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes will not open, uninstall or install, Itunes will not open, uninstall or install

    Eversince I got the itunes message to upgrade my itunes my itunes has stopped working. I cannot open itunes, I can't uninstall it and I cant install a new itunes setup. What is going on?!
    Everytime I click itunes to open I get this message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriatepermissions to access the item."
    Ok so my next step is to check the permissions for the actual program and I have all administrator permissions linked to my account!
    So then I thought maybe I should just uninstall it and start over... Go to control panel, uninstall itunes....  I get this message from itunes "The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\program files\itunes\acknowledgements.rtf" ... Weird... So I go to that address and try and delete or open the file... I get a message saying I have no permission to do so... so I guess I have to see if I can change the permissions right?! Still same thing... I have all admin permission for this file AND for all of my itunes file! :/
    Fine... let me see if I can install itunes instead... Go to the itunes website... enter email... download setup... open setup... I get the same message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriatepermissions to access the item."
    Can ANYONE help?! What am I doing wrong here?

    Did anyone get back to you on the issue?

  • HT2311 I cannot open the download for iTunes, it seems to be frozen. I get that small screen with the read first and the installer and it doesn't respond to my clicking

    trying to download and install iTunes 11 and though it downloads I cannot open it, seems to be frozen, thoughts?

    Many thanks diesel.  I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates.  Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it.  Eileen

  • Cannot open pdf after installing Acrobat Reader XI

    Installed as recommended update.  Now attempts to open pdf produce the message that file "could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist.  Change the association in your preferences."  What does this mean?  Running Windows XP.  Havve exhausted Acrobat help.

    My reply was to Frederick; yours is a different problem. "I cannot open anything" is not informative enough to help you.

  • I just downloaded the updates for my iPad 2 and cannot open aps or install new aps.

    I just downloaded the updates for my iPad 2.  Now I cannot open my aps.  I have tried rebooting and installing a new ap.  Still doesn't work.  Also cannot choose the "install" under getting a new ap.  It's totally frozen.  Any ideas?

    You tried rebooting this way?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
