I'm suddenly unable to open iTunes on my 5s phone (using ios7) any tips??

Since yesterday I can't open the iTunes Store app. Tried powering off phone and restarting to try again with no luck. Any advice?

Hello Ashjo277,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s, and thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:

If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store, I recommend resetting your iPhone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • HT1918 I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card

    I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card, the gift card information is entered on the phone and I can see the credit amount.

    I am having the same problem and it is REALLY frustrating.
    Exact setup that you have, COMCAST, PayPal, etc....
    I have reviewed my account three times with my PayPal info and received confirmation from my PayPal Account but it still won't let me log in. Let me know if you hear anything.
    This is a REAL PAIN.

  • I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 and I am unable to open iTunes on my phone - the screen just never loads.

    I installed iOS7 on my iPhone5 and now I am unable to open iTunes - the screen just stays blank.
    I have checked date and time and wifi settings.
    Not sure what else to do.
    I do have iMatch active on my device and its working fine on my other iPohne with iOS7 installed.
    Any help please!

    Have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in ? If it's still the same after that then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • I am unable to open itunes on windows 7 64 bit computer - tried reinstalling it, tried older version, but nothing worked...pl help

    Hi,

    Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
    IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
    Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
    Then:
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
    Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

    "apple mobile device failed to start"  "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" came up on windows XP upgrade to 11.1.4 and since have been unable to open itunes - uninstalled and tried reinstall to no avail - what to do ? Ken

    I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
    Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Unable to open Itunes in Vista - data execution prevention (DEP)

    I'm unable to open itunes on my computer. I can install it but not open it. It says that the data execution prevention has stopped the running of the program. I have tried to change the settings of the data execution program, but it will not allow me to accept itunes - as it says that DEP has to be activated for itunes and cannot be deactivated. What do I do?

    One temporary solution is to run itunes through XP rather than vista.
    To do this go to the program icon (makes sure its not a shortcut, and the actual program icon, you can find this in your program files if its on on your desktop)
    sideclick on the icon
    go to properties
    compatibility tab
    check Windows XP service pack 2
    tell it to apply
    This should allow you to use itunes

  • Unable to open itunes after update

    unable to open itunes after update

    I had a user with the same issue after updates and I was able to resolve. 
    I copied QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    I did so after uninstalling and re-installin, but I don't beleive that was necesssary.  Thanks to user thurdy.  This fix was from apple support for the error "iTunes stopped working".  Figured I'd give a shot and it ended up working.
    For reference the user was receiving the following errors exactly:
    "the procedure entry point ?fastfree@***@@YAXPAX@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library JavaScriptCore.dll"
    and
    "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error127)"

  • Unable to open iTunes...missing MediaToolbox.dll

    Unable to open iTunes. Get the missing MediaToolbox.dll error message. Have reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. Nothing worked. Any ideas?

    Hey... I had the same problem! In one of the other forums, they suggested uninstalling Quicktime player and reinstalling it. The downloading from here
    www.apple.com/support/downlods/quicktime72forwindows.html
    and then launch iTunes... it worked for me just a few mins ago!
    Good luck!

  • Unable to open itunes store

    unable to open itunes store

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I am suddenly unable to open elements 9 in windows 7.

    why is this happening and what do I do?

    Thanks -
    That's how I've been doing it since installment.  After I wrote  earlier, I
    discovered that patience is its own reward in that PE suddenly had  opened.
    Probably 5 minutes.  If it persists, may take it out and  reload.
