Itunes 6.0 wont open

I just upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 and now iTunes wont open from neither shortcut, not from the c: itself.
help?? should i reinstall 5.0?
actually, i just realized i have version 8.2.160.0 on my drive...no idea where that one came from. should i just reinstall that setup?

I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.

Itunes nor quicktime wont open on windows 7

my itunes nor quicktime wont open i uninstalled and installed itunes i tried disabling bonjour i added a new users i did a virus scan i am all out of ideas i need major help

Many thanks.
I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those error-message-free launch failures for both iTunes and the QuickTime Player.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:

Hello there, HockeyMomClearLake.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some troubleshooting steps for your issue:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Particularly:
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How do I fix my itunes? It wont open.

Ok. So I uninstalled. Ran updates on my laptop. I even repaired the installition of itunes. I ran it as administratior. Yet, When I click it it says "Would you like to allow the following program to make changes to your hard drive?" I click yes but still wont open.

Sometimes a program is not allowed to open on a Windows OS because the anti-virus does not allow it to run. Depending on what you use (I run AVG) you will need to "allow exception" for a program like iTunes to run. I suggest looking at the your anti-virus or other protective software for anything that looks like it is keeping programs from running.

Itunes 4.9 wont open

I recently downloaded itunes 4.9 and now it wont open. There are no error messages popping up at all when i am trying to open it. My computer is also having trouble shutting down now, weird "end program" messages keep popping up.
I have been reading some of the other posts and I've been trying to follow some of the suggestions that were given. Such as- disabling NIS and trying to repair the download.
I have to admit that i am computer challenged. I dont really understand some of the suggestions that were given, thus i am afraid to try them. Is there an easy way for computer beginners such as myself to fix this problem?

hi Patricia!
okay:
(1) is your PC acting peculiarly in any other respects? if so, please describe them.
(2) are you getting any error messages at all? if so, describe them as fully as you can. (include any error numbers if there are any.)
(3) do you have Kazaa Gold Premium installed on your machine?
(4) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on your machine? If so, have you tried switching that off just before launching itunes?
(5) are you even using a PC? (you've given us no information whatsoever on your setup ...)

Itunes 10.2 wont open in my windows 64-bit

hi guys,
i've been trying to open my itunes 10.2 on my toshiba a665-s6089 windows 7 64-bit, but nothing works. from my past experience, i already used itunes 10.1 and it worked pretty well, but after i updated my itunes to 10.2, it won't work. Moreover, i uninstalled my itunes 10.2 and changed it again to 10.1 and still, it wont open! I've tried to stop bonjour service, but doesn't work. please help. thanks!

many thanks.
Some questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits with error-message-free iTunes launch failures.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

Itunes and quicktime wont open when click on it

Hi,
I am unable to open Itunes or Quicktime on my netbook. I have tried reinstalling the software but it wont work. Please can someone advise how I can get it working.
Thanks in advance
Chris

In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files. (Those sorts of applications often use the Visual C++ runtimes to keep track of the componentry, so it seems consistent that an update to those could cause the symptoms to flare up on a PC.)
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 Windows 7, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows 7, 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.)
