Itunes 10.6.1 does not open- Windows XP

Good Evening Gang,
I recently reinstalled windows XP and downloaded the new itunes 10.6. Itunes starts with the end user agreement and does not open after I accept. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work and I cannot sync any of my apple devices. I have 1. Reinstalled itunes 2. Trusted itunes in the anivirus program 3. Reinstalled XP. I have not had this problem of the past 5 years. Below are my specs. Is this an issue for 10.6 as this is frustrating as I cannot buy music or sync any devices? Is there a workaround? Can I get a previous version?
Any help would be great.
Computer: Dell Dimension 8400 (Old School but still running like a gem)
OS: XP Service pack 3
AnriVirus: Norton 2012 Internet security

Thanks for the quick response. Did not work. I tried to repair
But there was only an option to remove/uninstall?
iTunes opens to the end user agreement and when I hit agree,
Nothing happens. This is frustrating and I am about to give up.
Can it be norton Internet security 2012? I used previous versions
Of iTunes with norton with no problem. Why is this version 10.6 being
A pain? Any help as I would like update my iPad and devices...
Thanks

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

ITunes 10.4.1 does not open (Win XP, 32 bit) crashes always when trying to start

iTunes 10.4.1 does not open (Win XP, 32 bit) crashes always when trying to start Itunes.
Tryed to repair, new installation, nothing worked.
Can anybody help me, any idea?
Thank you, mrlavazza

Sorry for this late answer. I had not to time hanging around on the pc. Thank you for your help.
I solved the problem, lucky!
After deinstalling all Apple Software (except safari) I started the PC again and installed Itunes another time.
It worked, so I am happy, still not knowing what was the problem.
The best thing is, that my mediathek is still running (I hoped so, it was put on another harddrive.)
Updates should not stress that way...
Thanks again for supporting,
mrlavazza

Downloaded Latest Itunes but now it does not open at all, with no error msg

I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for my Laptop. I have recently moved my internet to my laptop so i have been updating software for the past two days.
However, when the download of Itunes is finish i can not open it. There is no error message at all, it just does not open, it just begins to load with the 'hourglass' waiting symbol and then stops. I can't open it at all.
I am runnin on Windows XP and had no previous trouble with the older version of iTunes. I am now regretting that i even updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claudia.

I had exactl the same problem, it drove me crazy for about one week. Actually both 7.1.1 and any 6.x version didn't want to install on my PC.
7.1.1 just downloaded ok and than after running it terminated with no message and no action.
I tried almost everything: from manually removing all WinXP Registry entries to checking the entrire Win installation.
I also tried to download itunes from a different PC, but again same result.
Finally, I gave it a try to download iTunes from a different web site and... everything worked flawlessy!!
The only conclusion I came to is a possible issue between my network/firewall/ISP settings and Apple download services.. very hard to justify in real world but I can't think of anything else.
So my advice is to look for another web site hosting iTunes for donwload and give it a try!
Good luck
Diego

ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.
Toshiba Satellite Windows Vista

No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

ITunes 7.0.1 does not install--Windows Installer Package Problem

I am trying to upgrade from iTunes 6 to the newest version. I downloaded setup and ran it, and it got a bit through installing iTunes before it said, "There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I have never had problems installing other programs using Windows Installer. I also never had problems upgrading iTunes until now. There is no info on this specific issue anywhere in the Apple website or on the internet, that I have found. Any ideas?

okay, let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

Extension Manager CS5.5 does not open (Windows 7)

I've seen lots of issues in the forums about the extension manager not working, and I've tried every suggestion I can find to no avail. It was working just fine a few weeks ago, but now when I try to start it, the window doesn't open and I have to kill the process from the task manager. I've tried 'Run as administrator', and giving myself full permissions on the Extension Manager folders in the Users directory. I uninstalled and reinstalled the EM. Nothing seems to help.
I put an ExManLog.YES file in the directory where the extension manager is installed. I don't see any errors in the log file that is generated:
[DEBUG] Mon Jul 18 15:15:21 2011 (d:\extensionmanager_5.5_win\20110228.m.163\trelo\source\manager\win\owlmain.cpp,970) -OWL environment initializd OK

I need the EM for use with Flash Professional CS5. I can't open the EM from the executable or from within Flash. Any help getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Carl for your suggestions.
It turned out not to be a permission issue. My issue, like a previous poster, was the Flashbug Firefox plug-in. Once I removed Flashbug from the path you specified everything worked like a charm.
Again, thank you VERY much for your guidance. I’m glad this was relatively easy to resolve. I would have hated to uninstall and reinstall only to have the same issue.
Have a great day!

When i try to open dmg file for newest version of itunes, my mac pro does not open to install and freezes my main desktop toolbar so i can't select the apple to shut down, it also enables me to open any other programs?HELP PLEASE

i've been forced by my comp to shut down several times by holding the power button because of the inability to select the apple and shut down correctly..idk if i got a rare mac virus or bug.. and some programs simply won't open when clicked on.. i don't know how this is possible after years of great performance..

Where did you get this "dmg file"? To install the newest version of any Apple software, including iTunes, all you have to do is use Software Update from the Apple menu. This doesn't download any dmg, it automatically installs the software for you.
Maybe try repairing your permissions from Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder).
Also - What version of OS X do you have? Please update your forum profile so we can help you better.

Itunes 7.3 does not open and i can't reinstall older versions

the software upgrade made me download the last itunes version but it does not open (apparently i have an old version of macosx) and since then i can not use itunes. the old versions do not install. how could i reinstall itunes on my computer

ayeee! I'm in exactly the same place: I am stuck with a new download of iTunes 7.3, which I cannot open.
And I'm scared: if i download the upgrade on the operating system, will i LOSE all my tunes from iTunes -- or are they hidden somewhere? (they better not be lost, or i'll cry a river!0
i'm on a powerbook 10.4.6 ...
and this whole stupid thing only happened because i couldn't get vids i'd bought to play on my iTunes... so i followed the instructions to upgrade my quicktime player ... and once i HAD upgraded my quicktime player (for $30!!!) i couldn't use it, cause my operating system was old (as in: i bought this computer 9 months ago!)... and so then i thought, "gee, maybe if i uprade my iTunes, the expensive new quicktime pro will work, and i can actually see the videos I bought!"
it's like a giant catch-22.... ayeeeee! help!

Hi,

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS.
I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

HT201209 The buy button in itunes does not open a new window and allow me to buy a purchase

Hello
We are having problems with iTunes. We have redeemed a voucher which does appear £25 but we can not Buy a purchase. The new window does not open like it used to.
We can not download the free singles either.
This has been happening for 2 weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?
