Itunes 12 won't launch, windows 7 64 bit

i had the previous version of itunes, as soon as i updated and opened itunes it opened a pop up box saying 'itunes has stopped working. a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. please close the program'. i have tried almost everything, hopefully,installing, reinstalling, checking for updates, changing user accounts, pening in safe mode, disabling internet,quicktime, removing all softwares relating to apple then reinstalling it, nothing is working, please help me find a solution for this.

You've possibly tried all of this, but just in case there is something that you've missed that I've noted down somewhere...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

ITunes 10.7 quits on launch (Windows 7 64 bit) - "The procedure entry point CVDirect3DTextureGetSurface could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreVideo.dll."

I get the following dialog upon launching iTunes 10.7 on my Windows 7 64 bit
"The procedure entry point CVDirect3DTextureGetSurface could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreVideo.dll."
After that another dialog
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 127"
I repaired iTunes. Same error.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same error.
Please help.

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. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, 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. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, 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.)

iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Current version of itunes will not open in windows 7 64 bit

Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
Marilyn

Hey there Marylin,
It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried the suggestion to delete existing iTunes before installing the updated version.
I receive a message that a file is in use when I try to delete iPOD.
I started Task Manager to stop services for iTunes as suggested but it is not listed.
How do I install iTunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit?

I got the same message about the network resource that I can't access. The only difference is that I couldn't install Itunes 10.3 because I can't remove the old version of Bonjour. I couldn't get rid of anything in add/remove programs, but I went into my program folders and deleted everything that had to do with Itunes. I also ran a Windows Cleanup Utiltiy. Nothing will work. I still can't remove Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, MobileMe Control Panel, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Apple Software Update in add/remove programs because they are on a network resource that I can't access even though I deleted them from the program folders. This is very frustrating!

I tried loading itunes 10.5 onto my window vista 32-bit. it finishes the download and then when i go to install it say an error occured. Can someone help plz?

I tried loading itunes 10.5 onto my window wista 32-bit. It finishes the download and when i try to install it. I says that an error occured while trying to install.
Can somebody help me plz?

Hi all, I know this is a very old thread, but I was battling this issue for awhile and wanted to provide my solution in case future users encounter a similar issue.
I am running Windows 8. I encountered this issue while trying to install iTunes 11.1 x64 version. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the real issue was trying to install the Apple Mobile Device service.
My resolution was installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package. It is available from Microsoft. A search on Google should reveal it. However, here is the latest link that I used: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14431
Note that redistributable packages for more recent versions of Visual C++ (eg 2008, 2010) will NOT work. Only 2005 version worked for me.
Good luck!

TS3212 We can't download iTunes for our computers! (Windows 7 64-bit)

Hi, I'd welcome some helpful advice for downloading iTunes for a computer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system. I have older computers with Windows Vista 32 bit systems and have no trouble either downloading or installing iTunes to them. However with two computers using Windows 7 64 bit systems I click on download iTunes then a screen comes up and tells me thanks for downloading iTunes, eventhough nothing has downloaded! No dialogue boxes come up and I don't have pop up blockers enabled on my browser (Internet Explorer} or on my antivirus! So I can't even download the blasted thing let alone install it! thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for the advice, however I had already tried using Firefox originally and then Internet Explorer but the result was still the same.

ITunes crashed won't launch

After using Norton Utilities 8.0 my iTunes crashed and won't launch. Already ran Apple disk utility and repaired disk permissions. The following was in the iTunes.crash.log:

ITunes 11 won't launch; tried almost everything

I know there are dozens of threads about this, but I've already read many and tried their suggestions. Still no go. I'm incredibly frustrated here.
I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes is mostly refusing to work.
I say mostly because it did start once yesterday, but my entire library was missing.
But typically, I click the shortcut, the pc "thinks" for a second, and nothing happens.
I have tried repairs, uninstalling (also uninstalling Bonjour), updated Quicktime, selective startups, some registry tweaks, added anti-virus exclusions... I'm out of ideas and ready to take an axe to my Ipod.
Suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help!

Hello Steveriffic,
Thank you for posting all the information about the steps you have taken to resolve this issue. I would be frustrated too if iTunes consistantly would not launch. I found an article that has a few other steps for this issue that were not listed in your post. You can skip any steps you have already taken:

ITunes suddenly won't launch

I suddenly can't launch iTunes. I have followed Apple's iTunes uninstall procedure to the letter, restarted my computer and downloaded and reinstalled iTunes, the latest version. It won't even open.
It crashed while I was updating my iPod Touch. I realised it was filing the empty space with music which was going to take too long and clicked off the option. The program suddenly crashed and now won't launch. I removed everything to do with iTunes and reinstalled it several times. Still not working. Are there other files that iTunes uses that are not listed but might be causing the problem? I don't want to have to reinstall the entire operating system and all my programs again just to use iTunes.

Oh yeah... I tried deleting the com.apple.iTunes.plist file. Didn't do anything. Also verified the disk (no issues) and repaired permissions. None of that fixed it...

ITunes 10 Won't Launch in All User Accounts

I recently updated to iTunes 10 on a G5 running OS X.5.8. I was distressed that the playlist in my user account was not transferred and I was obliged to import anew my music library with no organized albums. What’s worse, iTunes couldn’t be launched at all in my wife’s user account. An error message reported that the “iTunes folder is on a locked disk and you do not have write permissions for the folder.” I did all that I know to do to OK write permissions for for my wife’s account with no success. Given that my iTunes library was “updated“ for version 10, I could not reinstall a workable earlier version of iTunes. I assume I will have to recreate my playlist, but at the very least, is there a means to launch iTunes in all of our user accounts?
Thanks for any help.

“iTunes folder is on a locked disk and you do not have write permissions for the folder.”
check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access.
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !
also check this support article.
I assume I will have to recreate my playlist

Cannot install iTunes 12.1.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit)

Hello. I've tried to do this about 10 times now and it's driving me crazy. The new iTunes update installed first time and works fine on my laptop (Win 7 home premium, 32 bit) but it absolutely refuses to work on my desktop (Win 7 home premium, 64 bit, quad core, 8gb RAM, ample hard drive space). I've been using iTunes for years and had no problems with the previous version.
The installation hangs 75% of the way through each attempt, with the message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I then get 3 options of abort, retry and ignore. If I retry it just keeps coming back to the same message. If I ignore then the installation completes but I then get the message "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7". Then, every time I restart my machine or try to launch iTunes I get the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)".
Here's what I've tried, in various combinations:
ensured I have installed all windows updates
uninstalled all iTunes and related programmes in the order specified on the Apple support pages (via Control Panel and the executable file), restarted, removed all the associated folders and files (including all 32 and 64 bit versions) from the Program Files directory on my C drive (where the iTunes installation is located), verified that they are gone.
cleared cache and temporary internet files from my browser, emptied the recycle bin
uninstalled QuickTime
installed the executable iTunes package via "Run as administrator"
tried the "Repair" option from both Control Panel and via the executable file
unpacked the Apple Mobile Device Service separately and installed separately
And nothing makes any difference to the result. I can't help but think there that is some kind of incompatibility between the latest version of A.M.D.S. and the latest version of Windows 7 64 bit. I'm not interested in whether it's Apple's or Microsoft's fault but I would like a solution, even if that solution is reinstalling an older version of iTunes. I hope you can help.

A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
