Installed latest update and restarted computer and iTunes wont open!

I have just installed the latest update to iTunes and restarted the computer when told to and went to open iTunes to sync my latest songs and it says:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missed.
Please reinstall iTunes."
This would result in me loosing all my music so I hope you have a solution.

A simple thing to try is a repair install. You can do this from programs on Control panel, or you can download the iTunes installer and save in on your PC. When you run it it will give the option to repair if it is the same version as the one you have installed.

Otherwise, in the past this has been associated with Spyware Terminator blocking things, but that was a while ago.
The other thing to check for is malware. You can download a free version of malwarebytes to do the scan:

  • TS1538 ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and I have updated itunes and restarted computer and still won't work   HELP

    Ipod is stuck in recovery mode I have restarted my computer and I have updated itunes ...Help

    Try:
    - iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Itune wont open when iphone connected.

    When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

    I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
    I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

  • I am installing the latest update on Mountain lion. ( Itunes) . Screen went light gray, no progress bar, and is been running for about two hours. Help!

    I am installing the latest update for Mountain lion (the iTunes update) . The screen went light gray, with no progress bars, and has remained that way for several hours. Help!

    In this case, hold the Power button until your computer turns off, and then, turn your Mac on again. It looks like your computer got stuck during its restart, so it shouldn't harm anything on your computer

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

    Hi there,
    Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
    It's a pain, but it should work.

  • I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks.  Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?

    I accidentally hit the install software update on my IPad and I am not by my computer and won't be for 2 weeks.  Is there any way I can get my IPad off the picture of connecting to ITunes?

    No. You must connect your iPad to a computer (it does not have to be yours) in order to restore it to factory settings.
    Once you're home, you can restore it from a backup.
    Any content that you did not backup has been lost.
