Itunes 7.0.1 won't launch and freezes my pc

Didn't want to hijack some other topic as I don't seem to have the exact same problems as people are describing.
My symptoms
- When launching Itunes.exe first time I get the license page, as soon as I click agree nothing happens, and my pc won't launch any applications. . The desktop is responding to every click though. It won't even restart/shutdown, only thing working is a hard restart on the pc case.
The itunes.exe instance stays on the process list, and I'm unable to close it.
- When launching after the first time I get the exact same, just without the license page (so I figure that info was saved).
- Quicktime launches perfectly
I'm running Avast antivir (haven't seen that mentioned anywhere, to be the cause of trouble)
Not running any firewall app, apart from win xp (sp2) firewall.
Now I've tried all the stuff I've seen suggested on these boards I believe, I'll just summarize what I've done so far:
- Uninstalled/reinstalled (multiple times)
- Cleaned as suggested
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
- Ran ccleaner to remove a blank entry in startup config
and still no dice.
My startup table looks like this (a bit crowded)

just to add, Itunes is uninstalled atm, that's why it's not on the list.
As you can see I've got a Nvidia gfx card, and I've updated the driver to 91.47 without any luck.
I saw you asked in another thread about K-Lite codec pack and I've installed version 2.71 full.
So, where do I go from here? everything worked perfectly with itunes 6 but since 7 came out I haven't been able to update my ipod :/

Tried uninstalling K-lite codec pack, ran the ccleaner once again, installed itunes with avg disabled, all in vain.
I would appreciate if anyone had any ideas as to what to do next.

  • ITunes 11.1.2 stalls on launch and freezes following upgrade

    iTunes 11.1.2 installed without a problem however when launched it boots up then fails to respond. I have a large music library on an external drive. Previous versions of itunes have always been fine with this. Djay software which uses the iTunes library still runs fine, however no luck with iTunes. Surley this glitch should have been sorted by Apple during testing before Mavericks was released. Very disappointing.

    Please move the iTunes library to the Desktop and try again to launch the application. Does it still crash?

  • HT5654 iTunes auto update downloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried uninstalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

    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.

  • Itunes 7.0.2 won't launch just has hourglass for a few seconds...

    I am running a Dell Optiplex w/ Win XP Pro, Charter High Speed Security Suite (F-Secure) antivirus firewall antispyware stuff. Trying to upgrade itunes. Downloaded and installed without Security suite and firewalls etc. Installed fine. QuickTime opens and works except when I try to click on a movie trailer and it tries to open iTunes Store and it won't load the store. ITunes 7.0.2 won't launch. The hourglass shows for a few seconds and then nothing...no small pieces of anything popping up and going away really quick. Nothing. I don't have any other antivirus products on my system. I do have eTrust Pestpatrol antispyware but it has been disabled and was not active when downloading the product nor when installing the upgrade. All previous versions of iTunes worked fine. This upgrade to 7.0.2 will not launch. Any ideas?
    Thank you.
    Best Regards,
    Marlene

    I downloaded the program without any firewall, antivirus software or antispyware or antimalware running. I installed the same way. I don't have an active firewall through Win XP, my Charter Security Suite's firewall has always been instructed to allow all of the itunes, ituneshelper and Quicktime info through. I never had this problem with the other iTunes...only this upgrade. I have done virus, spyware, and malware scans (found a few with a deep scan, quarintined and deleted, restarted computer, still no change). My computer is up to date. I could update my Internet Explorer I suppose from 6.0.2. but that is something that shouldn't be stopping iTunes from launching. I have a P 4 with 2.4 ghz 256 ram of which I know I need to upgrade but still should not have a contributing factor in the launch. If it is, tell me and I will immediately upgrade. I don't get this one... ???? Forgot to add, I also tried another user account which had the same results.

  • Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?

    Hi,
    So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
    Here are my comp specs:
    Samsung
    Processor:
    AMD A6-3420M APU with
    Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
    Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
    64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
    I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
    It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
    Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
    Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities).

  • ITunes won't launch and I get a strange error message-

    My iTunes will not launch and I get this strange error message: The iTunes application could not be opened. The disk could not be read from or written to. But I have no problems with the disk it is on, which is my harddisk. Help, help, help…

    I have now tried a billion things: None of them work. I still get the same error message, when I try to launch iTunes after logging into my user profile. However, I can launch iTunes 6.0.1 if I create another userprofile on my computer and log into that. But that isn't very helpful. I have also tried removing iTunes 6.0.1 and installing iTunes 4.7 instead. I can actually launch that. However, I cannot connect to the iTunes music store using iTunes 4.7 nor can I play any of the music purchased from the iTunes music store. What am I to do, except curse Apple for creating a version of iTunes that many people seem to have problems with?

  • Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

    Hi
    Something weird is happening to our emac!
    Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
    Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
    Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
    I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
    In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
    I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
    Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
    thanks x

    HI,
    *"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
    Better check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode

  • Help - Itunes/Quicktime downlaods but won't launch to install

    Hi peeps,
    Need some help here; iTunes stopped launching one day so deleted it, and Quicktime, and tried to reinstall. Problem is now the installer won't launch for either. Tried direct download and saving the file to download to desktop. Always the same, goes to load and just stops, no error message, just nothing. I have PC with Windows Vista.  Help before PC goes over balcony!
    Thanks,

    hiya!
    just popping by to drop off a link to a QT standalone installer:
    Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
    (the link to a true standalone QT on the QT Player download page can be a bit difficult to find. the most obvious download link on there leads to an itunes/QT installer bundle.)

  • Itunes 6.0.3 won't launch

    I just upgraded my itunes to 6.0.3 and now my itunes won't even open. it launches for a second and then quits. i'm not getting a message or anything saying there was an error. how can i fix this so i can get into my itunes?

    I have the same problem after upgrading to iTunes 6.0.3. It launches, then crashes half way in; with no explanation. The crash report says EXC BAD ACC; and exceeds range, etc. I have 12.5 GB available on my internal HD. I have a suspicion that the default prefs set something that 10.2.8 does not have, but 10.3.X does, thus causing the crash, but this is just a guess. Even so, I wouldn't know how to change it, anyway. All help gratefully appreciated. It is terrible being left out of the iTunes Music Store like this!

  • After upgrading to Itunes 7.2, it won't launch without crashing

    Itunes was working fine on my pc. When I opened it, it prompted me to install an updated version of Itunes and Quicktimes. I followed the prompts and installed it. After it installed, I launched Itunes and it crashed with "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I sent the report to Microsoft, without any results.

  • IPhoto 11 won't launch and crashes every time I try to rebuild the library. Urgh.

    iPhoto 11 won't launch- it's another case of an infinite skinny wheel. I've tried rebuilding the library numerous times, each time it takes about a day and each time it crashes near the end. This is just ridiculous. Any tips folks?
    APPLE if you can hear me... shouldn't you be testing this stuff prior to release? I know you do but I mean, like REALLY testing it? This is my second iPhoto upgrade disaster. The last time I lost my entire library, had to spend £80 on recovery software that recovered not only most of my photos, but every image cached on my machine. So then I had the fun of sorting through literally thousands of images...
    And I only got the upgrade becasue my iPhone is refusing to sync, freezing on the iPhoto bit. Gah.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Finder won't launch and application icons just bounce

    I successfully logged in. But then it went to just a blue screen with the dock on it. No hard drive showed up in the corner. Applications just bounce, then get an unexpectedly quit message. Finder won't launch at all. Tried disk repair, permissions repair; these were all fine. Have no idea what to do next and could really use some help! Thanks.

    I would startup from your install disc. Enable root user which is found under utilities on the menubar, and restart the computer. Then see what happens when you login as root.

  • Safari won't launch, and can't seem to re-install

    Think I've got the same problem as Dr. Thunder and Mahamba. First, Safari won't launch, giving an error message stating 'Safari cannot open. Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.'
    Then, tried to re-install from the Leopard install DVD, Optional installs, and all Leopard apps seemed to install. Restarted and launched Safari, same error message. Went to a different Mac, downloaded the Safari 3.1.2, moved the pkg over via flash thumb drive, and tried to install. Installer gave error message stating I need OS X 10.5.2 or greater, and I'm on 10.5.4.
    Any idea what gives?

    *Hi atw4, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Try a reinstall of the 10.5.4 Combo Updater. Can't harm and sometimes does wonders.
    Good Luck, JP

  • IPod won't sync and freezes iTunes

    I am no novice user. I have an iPod Classic 120 GB. I had my iPod in disc mode and updated 1 song and shutdown the computer without ejecting the iPod first. Now all the songs disappeared. I tried to reconnect the iPod but everytime I plug it in iTunes freezes. It will sync a few hundred songs and then just stick on one for hours. I have 41 on there right now.
    I've tried reformatting in Windows, but it fails. I tried doing Quick Format and that works. Every time I open iTunes it says you need to restore your iPod. So I restore it and it says everything is fine. It tries to sync the iPod and freezes again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've checked "sync only checked songs" and selected about 150 to do. I've reset the iPod multiple times (by holding center button and Menu). Nothing works.
    I've searched the Internet for the passed 2 days looking over every topic I can find. I need help.

    Here's a little update. I had tried a quick format again. iTunes restored the iPod and I had the options to manually manage music. I dragged about 100 songs at a time to the iPod and it sent them. I ejected the iPod after the first couple hundred and they were there. I plugged it back into iTunes and did about 300 more. I had a total of 500 songs. I finished syncing and didn't freeze. I ejected the iPod no problem. After it said OK to disconnect I look through the songs and it says 0 songs. Now it's freezing up iTunes again. >:(
