Itunes 10.3 on Windows 7 64-bit not starting up

Itunes has always been working fine on my pc up until one day, I click on the Itunes icon, and it looks like it's loading for like 3 seconds and then it does absolutely nothing...
I tried re-installing the program twice, nothing.
I tried opening MsConfig and disabling all applications upon start up except for Itunes and Quicktime (which I believe was a suggestion here on this website for this problem). But that did nothing...
Not to mention I re-booted the computer countless times... And that did nothing...
I don't really think giving out my computer performance specs really matters, only that I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The version of iTunes I have is the latest version 10.3 (64-bit) for Windows.
Can somebody please tell me what is going on and how to get my iTunes working again? I would highly appreciate it!! Thank you in advance!

Many thanks.
That's consistent with an application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Why can't I connect to the itunes store on my windows 7 64 bit pc?

perfect, thanks.
When I try to connect to the itunes store, it says 'accessing itunes store' and just hangs there.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

Windows 8 64-bit not working on iTunes

Every time I try to update my iTunes it fully downloads but when I try to install it says that its not compatible with my computer. I have Windows 8 64-bit and I download the 64-bit Windows version. Does anybody know why it doesn't work?

You might try a manual install/repair.
The instructions below I've done with Windows 7 64 bit. (not sure what will happen with Windows 8 but we may learn more)
After downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple, extract the files in “iTunes64Setup.exe”
(If you have never done this, you may need to download a program such as WinRAR [64 bit].)
Manually run each install file in the following order.
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
Bonjour64.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
iTunes64.msi
If there are any errors, stop, and write back with the results.

Installed Itunes 11.0 on Windows 7 64-bit / Itunes store crashes app completely

Hello
I Installed Itunes 11.0 on Windows 7 64-bit and I can download podcasts and it will sync,
but after downloading app updates and clicking done,
Itunes crashes immediately when it tries to access the itunes store.
If I try to access the Itunes store though Itunes at any time it crashes. CrashTunes?
Ninetynine percent of the time I don't want to go to the Itunes store ...
I want to sync my updated pocasts and updated apps to the phone and leave.
not half-sync my phone, crash and repeat until I get the timing right,
then have to break more traffic laws that usual to get to work on time.
Sorry for the vent,
Thanks for your time to any of those who help,
Bobby

After numerous calls with Apple support, I finally got it working
For me, the problem was the following:
1. Make sure that Internet Explorer is your standard browser for windows (if not...make it)!
2. In Internet Explorer go to "Internet Options" then "Advanced"
3. In the list scroll down to "Security" and UNCHECK "Check for server certificate revocation"
4. Make sure that (a bit further down) "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0" are CHECKED.
5. Delete the "SC Info" folder once again...
6. Run iTunes in Admin-Mode
After that, I was able to activate my computer and I changed my browser back to Firefox afterwards...
Hope that will help you too !!
Cheers

Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

My Mini will not boot up. I tried holding both buttons down. I got a "connect to itunes" message. I connected. and nothing happens.

Hello there Chess-ster,
If I understand correctly your iPad mini is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows Vista PC. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Start with these steps and work your way down as needed:
Restart
Turn off your computer and your iOS device, then turn them on again.
Update your computer
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC?

Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC? I can download the 64-bit installer from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427
But after I run the installer, I get an error message stating that the installer is for 32 bit machines and that I should download and install the 64 bit installer instead. (Been there, done that, using two different browsers for the download.) Why would I get such a message when my PC is 64 bit O/S and the iTunes installer purports to be for that type of PC?
Please help,
-Bruce

When you get on the download page scroll down on the left hand side there is 64bit version. I installed it. But the thing I can't work out is in task manger says 32bit

TS3212 Trying to download iTunes 10.7 in Windows 7 64-bit. When I click the download now button, it immediately goes to the "Thank you for downloading" screen, but the file has not downloaded. Popups unblocked. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Trying to download iTunes 10.7 in Windows 7 64-bit. When I click the download now button, it immediately goes to the "Thank you for downloading" screen, but the file has not downloaded. Popups unblocked. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

ITunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (64) - can not sync

Hello,
I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0, and iTunes to 10.5 (Windows 7 64 bit). Now, when I connect my iPhone to the iTunes, the Sync button in iTunes is disabled, and single yellow bar is shown at the left (where capacity is typically being displayed). Also, i don't have my music/videos on the iphone anymore.
I've tried complete reinstall, but it does not help. I've also tried to downgrade to iTunes 10.4.1, but it wouldn't sync with my iOS 5 device.
Thanks!

After multiple re-installs, the device now syncs, and yellow bar is replaced with a "more correct version", however i don't see any of my media files (music, photos, etc..) on the iphone. iTunes insists that they're on the iphone, but when i open, let's say, the music app, no music files are shown.
Any ideas?
