I tried to open iTunes on my HP labtop today

When I tried to open iTunes on my HP laptop today the following message came up.  "This program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling but the same message came up again.  What do you suggest?

  • I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

    I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

    I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
    The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
    You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
    Select the folder Music > iTunes  in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill  pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

    I get the message 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close' when trying to open itunes 11.1.1.11. I had to uninstall itunes so that I could load this version as the update to version 11 kept failing. The PC says 11.1.1.11 is correctly loaded, but I now cannot open itunes. Any advice on how to get itunes working again?

    Keep getting an error message when trying to open iTunes 11 after installing...running Windows ...have tried most fixes ...message says ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
    Also when iTunes first opesn after installing ....the message come up that says "A required iTunes component is not installed .please repair or reinstalll iTunes (-45075)"
    Have repaired , reinstalled , created and used a restore point etc etc
    How do I fix this !!! Please

    ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
    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. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,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. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, 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.)

  • I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.  Any ideas?

    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.

  • Multiple error messages while trying to open iTunes

    Downloaded the latest upgrade (much to my chagrin) and then started getting error messages when I tried to open iTunes. First was:
    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." So I did. Then I got this message:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    So I uninstalled iTunes and tried to install. Same message! SO I did a system restore and still no go! Except I now get two more messages:
    "Runtime Error! R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information."  AND "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7"
    Help!!!!!

    For more information on this, take a look at:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Best of luck,

    Apple just released iTunes 10.3.1 and this article to fix this problem. It looks like you'll just have to update to iTunes 10.3.1.

  • Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy :(

    Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy Happened after an upgrade. Can anyone help?

    By way of experiment, let's try launching iTunes as an administrator.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Does it launch without the -50 now?

  • I upgraded to iphone 4. When sync to comp. Comp. asked to upgrade. I did. I tried to open itunes and it failed. Quick Time error 2096. I went through severals procedures. Finally could open itune. Pluged phone in comp it will charge but wont sync

    I upgraded t iphone 4. When I sync to computer. I was asked to upgrade itunes, I did.  When I tried to open itunes a Quick Time Error 2069 occured. I went through several procudures. Finally I could open itunes. When I pluged in the phone, it would charge but not sync. What now?

    update...
    I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
    Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
    I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
    At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
    Frustrated.
