Is it itunes or my computer thats messed up? ITUNES WONT OPEN!

my itunes used to work perfectly. then it stopped working so i reinstalled only to find that after using itunes the first time i opened it, it wouldn't open anymore. so i tried removing the program and installing it again. now it won't even open once. it doesnt show up in task manager, and there are no pop ups or anything. i've tried re installing it at least 4 times. and still nothing.
so i'm thinking it might be my computer thats screwed up?
i'm dying here people... please help!

seems to be a problem with 7.6.1.... see another topic regarding this issue.
One user submitted changing your Quicktime preferences and settings and a few said it fixed their problem.

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

  • Itunes wont open unless restarting computer

    itunes wont open unless restarting computer. Bought my first piece of music through itunes store. Shortly thereafter couldn't open itunes after closing it unless restarting the computer. Had no problems previously. Not very computer savvy. Computer usually opens straight to admin user. Created a new (standard) user account as suggested. Opens,closes,reopens ok there. Tried disabling Bonjour, didn't help. Ideas?

    No. Computer set up to automatically open "admin" user account when starting. Only created new "standard" user account to see if that worked.  It did. But still had same problem in admin user account.

  • My itunes wont open it tells me that my itunes library was updated by a newer version on itunes but my software is uptodate any one else have this prob?

    my itunes wont open it tells me that my itunes library was updated by a newer version on itunes but my software is uptodate any one else have this prob?

    Look under your Start Menu for Apple Software Update, but before doing that, check the time and date on your computer that it's correct.
    It's also saying the iTunes Library .XML file in your iTunes Folder file is new, for some reason, but your songs should be still in the iTunes Folder.
    You can move the XML file out and restart iTunes and it shoudl creat another, you lose your playlists and have to import all your music again.

    Copy it from the backup of your iTunes folder you made before you got rid of your old computer.

  • ITunes wont open after re-instaling win xp..

    i just re-installed xp and itunes wont open now, shows this--iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    i tried removing quicktime and itunes and tried re-installing too...but wont help...
    i downloaded the old ver 9.2.1.5 but it still wont work....
    Pls help....
    AppName: itunes.exe           AppVer: 9.2.1.5           ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0           Offset: 6975515c

    I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

    You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
    Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

  • Itunes wont open on Windows XP

    I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

    hi Singh!
    is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):

    yes, I tried that document first but it did not work.  I couldn't even open itunes in safe mode at all.  I have reistalled safari and repaired quicktime, I've deleted all itunes software and reinstalled, I've googled fixes and tried them all.  Nothing works.  I tried creating another user account, didn't work.  I can now open itunes, but I have to double click the icon and walk away from the computer.  It take 10 or 15 minutes to open, will sync my ipod once, then locks up and I have to reboot.  Any other suggestions?

  • ITunes wont open from my external hard drive onto my new laptop

    i have an external hard drive connected to my desktop with all my itunes music on there. but when i connect the external to my new laptop, itunes wont open. it says i dont have itunes support or something like that. and the reason i have my music on the external is so i CAN open itunes from another computer. but this isnt happening right now. someone please help.

    yea it is an error 2
    Many thanks.
    We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
    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/
    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 so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes wont open it says...

    iTunes wont open it says...
                    iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
    HOW DO I DO THAT?
    AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT KEEPS EVERYTHING THE SAME?

    I am having the same issue today with the error message:  "The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software". 
    I have done the "Repair" as you and KStyles513 suggested, and restarted my computer (did both procedures twice) but that did not work.  I am still getting the same message.  Today I get this message.
    When the message appears, iTunes does open but when I click OK my iPhone dissappears from the Devices and I cannot see it again.
    iTunes 10.5.2.11 is the version I currently have loaded.  I'm using a Windows XP platform, all updates are current.
    What can I do to fix this?
