Installed itunes 10.5.3 now cannot open itunes...

The update came up for me to upgrade to itunes 10.5.3, so i done so
everything went fine. computer died due to lack of battery after the upload.
Turn computer back on, i hit the icon to open itunes up, and i am greeted with this message:
so thinking its just the short cuts playing up due to the upgrade, i decide to open it directly from the start menu, only to find that there is no itunes or apple folder, and no itunes in the menu!!!
I am highly alarmed by this, as i had over 4000 songs on there as well as some videos, which would be irreplacable.
Please say i havent somehow lost EVERYTHING??!  if i have i will not be happy!
please help...

i have managed to solve it
what ive done is: went into apple updates and re-installed it, and this time everything is working properly
Hope if anyone else has this problem, this will help them

  • I downloaded latest iTunes and OS and now cannot open iTunes Store or Synch my iPad. Any suggestions

    When I last uploaded the latest firmware I was not able to open the iTunes store. After being told it must be a firewall issue Apple finally told me that a number of people complained about the same thing. They told me to completely remove iTunes, QuickTimes, etc. and reinstall and that solved the problem. This time when I uploaded the latest forware version (10.5) it messed up my User profile adn I had to get that fixed. I realted the problem to Apple and they sennt the same suggestions as last time. However this time, removing and reinstalling did not resolve the porblem. In addition, it tries to back up my iPad before sychronizing to upload the latest firmware to the device and the backup process freezes the iPad and I have to close iTunes through Windows Task Manager and cannot do anything with iTunes until I reboot the computer. Any suggestions on how to fix this reoccuring problem. I am getign to the point where I dont want to use iTunes anymore.

    There is an App called "Videos" that came on you home screen.  This is were they go, it has Movies, bought or rented from iTunes. Music videos and TV shoes as well as pod casts. And even your very own home movies.
    Open it and there is at the top the different sections for each. (it only shows categories which have media in)
    I had to search the first time too.

  • Installed Itunes Version 7.7, now cannot use Itunes

    After installing Itunes version 7.7, I now cannot open Itunes becuase it gives me the error of" The Folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside my "My Music" folder". I have uninstalled it and tried to install previous versions to no avail. I also tried the Microsoft Install Clean up utility and I still cannot install any version of itunes.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset 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.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Just downloaded 10.6 and cannot open itunes get error:ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

    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.

  • 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.)

    Hi, InsaneCharlie. 
    Thanks for the question.  I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.  If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

  • Just installed the latest upgrade for iTunes. Cannot open iTunes store?

    Just installed the latest upgrade for iTunes. Cannot open iTunes store?

    Hey there Ray Neilson,
    It sounds like you are able to open iTunes but cannot access the store. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues in Windows
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day (and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues) a software or Internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If iTunes Store appears empty and only displays the message iTunes Store, follow these steps.
    Try the steps to troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
    As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you may need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. Follow these steps for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
    Try disabling any proxies built-in to Windows. You should avoid proxies because they can cause issues.
    If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
    If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
    Note: The hosts file may be blocking the iTunes Store.Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a FixIt to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file and may block iTunes Store. The FixIt doesn't work for Windows 8.To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions below:
    You can find the hosts file at: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC.
    Select the hosts file. There should now be a duplicate of the hosts file named "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts-copy" (Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8).
    Drag the original hosts file to your desktop.
    Right-click the duplicate file and choose Open. You may be prompted to choose the program you want to use to open this file. Double-click Notepad.
    When Notepad opens, choose Edit > Select All.
    Choose Edit > Delete.
    Choose File > Save.
    Close Notepad.
    Right-click the duplicate file, and choose Rename.
    Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
    Restart your computer and try connecting to the iTunes Store.
     If you still can't connect to the iTunes Store, your security software or firewall may be blocking the ability of iTunes to communicate with the Internet. Learn how to resolve security software issues.
    If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting in this article:
