ITunes 7.6 (and QuickTime) not opening, error

This is driving me insane, iTunes (from version 7) has never worked on my computer and I feel like I have exhausted every option from support pages. It (and QuickTime) installed successfully but as soon as I try to open either iTunes or QuickTime I simply get the standard malfunctioning message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I'd send you the error report, except its huge. Any help would be hugely appreciated, as there is no chance in **** i'm buying an iPod without this sorted. Thanks

Oh, and I've already checked and tried the FAQ bit..

ITunes and QuickTime not opening - why?

Recently iTunes and Quicktime haven't been opening, whether when I ask media to be opened in them or if I open them directly. They display as being open in the dock, but never actually do open and I always have to end up Force Quitting them.
Why would this occur and how can I resolve the problem?

For those reading this who do not have a QuickTime settings icon visable in their Control Panel window - look to the top left of the Control Panel window and click on Classic View.
The QuickTime icon will be visible.
I did have K-Lite but I installed it as part of WMPod after I had all this palarva, thinking I would then be able to sync via Windows Media Player. Not so, Windows Media Player did not recognise the plug in - did not have it listed in the options windows.
When I double clicked on the QuickTime icon in Control Panel (classic view) I got this message;
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Quicktime.cpl",Quicktime"
I had in fact deleted what I thought were duplicate QT plugins (there were half a dozen in the Programs\Internet Eplorer folder and more in Mozilla).
So I downloaded QuickTime (again) and selected repair once the installation window was up. Double clicked on QuickTime in Control Panel again.
Same message again.

Itunes on external drive will not open - error message 13014

I have never posted a question here before - just kind of been stumbling my way around the forums looking for answers, which has usually worked for me - until today. About a year ago, I moved my itunes (music and movies) to an external drive to free up space on my imac - following instructions in one of these forums. It has been working with very few issues until today. Suddenly, I am unable to open itunes. I get the error message 13014. I have tried restarting (several times) and updating itunes with no luck. I am at a complete loss. I am afraid if someone asks how exactly I moved my itunes library, I won't be able to answer that. Until today, I've been opening up my itunes by holding down the option key while opening itunes, and it has worked just fine, but now I am faced with this error message and no itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Does your iTunes launch properly now?

HT1925 My ipod is not showing up when I have itunes up. I was told to remove itunes and reinstall however. I receive a message with unable to uninstall the Itunes. It states "could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\INTERFACE\(915DA835-02FE-

can someone please advise on what I should do? unable to uninstall the Itunes. It states "could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\INTERFACE\(915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D 85AB) VEIFY THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS TO THAT KEY, OR CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL, Which i did . I contacted the apple support and they could not help. has anyone gotten this error? Did some research some results show that this has occurred during updates on the itunes but has not seen how to successfully uninstall without getting this error. I attempted to use the control panel and uninstall but it provides me with the same error all the time. I NEED SOME Answers on this issue. Can you please help?!

Perhaps try the fixit from the following Microsoft web page. (Try the "problems uninstalling" option.)

Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK.
Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

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 will not open, Error message -45054

My itunes on my Mac will not open, all that comes up is this message
"An unkown error occurred (-45054)"
I can't seem to find the source of the problem and all the drop downs from the menu bar are not able to be clicked on so can't really get anymore informaion out of it.
can anyone help me out?

Murray3703, only one other time did this happen to me. It was over 6 years back when I had an iPod Nano and after doing the reinstallation, it wiped out all of the content and applications and corrupted by Nano to the point Apple said it could not be fixed. I had no other things corrupted on my laptop. So, I know it was not a virus.
I have tried fixing the problem with redownloading and "repairing" the problem but, it did not work. Since the Nano incident, I am somewhat reluctant to do this for fear that I will loose all of my content and paid applications to apple? I also have Windows 7.
Did you have any issues with uninstalling and reinstalling? Thanks.

Itunes has stopped working and will not open

itunes stopped working for unknown reason and would not open. after several tries I used system restore taking it back to an earlier date. when that failed to work, I uninstalled and downloaded new version, several times. still would not open and I am pretty sure I lost my library which is frustrating because I use it for work. completely confused about what to do next. I am running windows 7.

Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

Some work networks block sits like social sites.
