ITunes 7 will not launch - have tried fixes mentioned below

Since installing ITunes 7 there have been problems launching it - I got the process running for 2 secs or so then dying. Sometimes it would work though, usually when an ipod was plugged in.
After updating to 7.02 the problem worsened - i tried completely uninstalling Itunes and Quicktime and now my ipod is not even recognised. Just patching in a new Quicktime did not work either as it told me a newer version was already installed. I have scanned my machine with several antispyware programs but nothing has been found. Quicktime launches ok and I do not have Norton.
Please help!!!

It would help to know more about your computer and your operating system version.
By the way, it's confusing if you say "iTunes 7" as you did in your topic.  I run iTunes 7 -- on my 10 year old computer.  You're trying to run 10.7.

  • TS3212 I have now installed and uninstalled iTunes 10.7.0.21 about 5 times and still iTunes app will not launch.  I have uninstalled my Norton AV and still nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'm having problems installing iTunes on a Win 7 machine.  The app will not launch correctly.  It was working at one time, but now I have no idea why it would not work.  I tried uninstalling some applications and still nothing.  I did have to delete the Quicktime folders because it did not show up as being installed. Should I reinstall it since it doesnot look like iTunes reinstalled it?

    Are you getting an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • If iTunes 9 will not launch - read this

    Hi there,
    If iTunes 9.0.2 update has completely messed up your itunes - will not launch or what not, make sure you have the specs that are required to run it.
    Trust me, today, I finally sorted through my problems with the update.
    First off I was running OS X 10.5.8, safari 4.0.4.
    You need at least a 4.0.3 to run iTunes store in 9.0.2 and to run a safari 4.0.3 you need (i think) at least an OS X 10.5.7. And there's a need to have at least a Quicktime 7.6 installed (the quicktime was my major problem).
    So if you have at least these three things iTunes 9.0.2 should run:
    Mac OS X 10.5.7
    Safari 4.0.3
    Quicktime 7.6
    If you're still having problems... I don't know what to tell you except call customer service or continue posting and hope.
    Best of luck!!

    This is the exact same problem i am experiencing, wired pc, into router that also provides the wireless connection for my iphone. I get no device popping up in itunes when trying to add a library in remote.
    I have added the port forwards to my router with no joy, disabled any and all software firewall/av, no joy.
    Its quite frustrating as i can get to my laptop's library just fine (laptop is wireless), i've even tried at work and can get over wireless via an access point onto the network and my pc there is wired in.
    I can only guess it is my router doing something stupid, or because it is running as a gateway and router, or something.
    Any other info would be great

    I have latest mountain lion running on MacBook Pro and safari will not launch but shows search in polo up window. I've quit the app, but nothing seems to work. Fix?

  • ORGANIZER IN PSE 10 WILL NOT OPEN, HAVE TRIED A HUNDRED TIMES, WORKED FINE PREVIOUSLY! HELP ANYONE!

    Organizer in PSE 10 wil not open, have tried a hundred times, worked fine previously, help anyone?

    Thanks for your response DJ. I have Windows Vista and I'am getting NO error messages, crazy right? I just click on the organizer and it acts like its going to do something and then you wait and wait for maybe 30 minutes and it just doesn't move forward. I have been using the PSE programs for many years and have never encountered this problem! I have thousands of pictures on this program and its starting to freak me out that I cant access any of them! If you have any additional ideas please let me know. Thanks Julie

  • Itunes 10 will not launch

    After downloading itunes 10 over an older version to my computer, it will no longer open. When you go to launch the program an error message shows and itunes wont even attempt to open. The error code is "This application could not be opened. The file name was invalid or too long"
    I have tried uninstalling all apple software and reinstalling (no luck), while itunes is installed have tried disabling bonjour and trying to open itunes (no luck) and have tried downloading quicktime separately (no luck). If i try to start quicktime it opens fine, connecting to the apple store and everything.
    I cannot think of anything else to try. Please help!

  • I-tunes will not open-have tried solutions from other posts

    Hello all
    My i-tunes 6 will not open on my computer. A few times at one point it flashed the user agreement and then died. It does appear in my windows task manager but only for a few seconds. I know some peopple have suggested a malware problem. I have been working with my brother, who makes a lving fixing other people's computers, and we cannot seem to isolate the malicious program causing the problem. There is an application in the msconfig utility that is called "qxjj" that will not delete. We believe this is the problem. I was wondering if anyone had encountered this particular program before and if they knew how to get rid of it. Ewido, spybot and microsoft anti-spyware have not appeared to get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated.

    gaah. i think you and your brother have correctly diagnosed the problem.
    there's a Qoologic variant that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failure since late October. it's associated with the "license screen flash" symptom. it also drops randomly-generated-4-and-6-letter-name startup items in people's PCs.
    Ewido and AdAware have typically been getting rid of it for people, so it's a bit disturbing that they aren't touching it in your case. however, we also have a "manual" removal technique that has been working for people. let's see if Dave's technique works for you:

  • ITunes error - will not work after trying to update to 7.2, then to 7.3

    I have tried to update to both 7.2 and to 7.3, but both updates have failed. Now I am stuck on 7.1 with an error, where my iTunes will not operate and I cannot uninstall because it comes up with the same error that I get when I try to install or uninstall.
    Below are links to images of the errors:
    Here is the error I have currently:

    Here is the error I get when I try to reinstall, update or uninstall:
    http://i7.tinypic.com/6he0ft0.jpg
    I would appreciate your assistance!

    It sounds as though you need this article on trouble installing iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    You need the section at the end after "Important: A majority of customers..."
    I think you need to do a full removal of iTunes and quciktime with clean up. But the important bit is to clean up the installer files with the MS Installer Clean Up Utility.
    If cleanup doesn't seem to work, it is worth checking you have the right version of the Windows installer. If you find it in add remove programs, it should say "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)"

  • Firefox will not load - have tried everything - Vista on HP Pavilion laptop

    Hello
    I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
    I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
    In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
    My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
    Well, it did for me at least
    Hope this helps

  • Just of late, Firefox will not open, have tried to uninstall, but it tells me I have to shut Firefox but it is not open! same problem downloading new version

    Wherever I find Firefox on my computer, it will not open. i cannot get beyond the icon or the file. Clicking on them gets no result.
    If I try to uninstall and download again, it tells me it cannot proceed in either case until I close Firefox. But it will not close. So I am totally stuck. It worked well up to about a fortnight ago.

    hello xennophon, does the following help article contain a solution for your problem?: [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it]]
    in some cases this error at startup might also be a symptom of malware active on the pc. please do a full scan of your system with your security software already in place and/or an alternative like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ free version of malwarebytes].

  • ITunes will not install - have tried EVERYTHING - please help

    I recently (yesterday) bought an iPod and yesterday installed the iPod and iTunes software on my computer, with absolutely no problems. Then today, when I tried to get onto the Music Store, I could not access it. (error -3212 was the number, I think...it's been a very long night). After searching a number of forums, I attempted to download the newer versions of iTunes and Quicktime; at the end of this attempted installation, I got the Microsoft message that iTunes "has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
    Now, several hours later, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (with my antivirus software disabled), gone through two system restores (have gone back two days), done the Windows Installer cleanup thing, everything that I have read to do. I went into msconfig and the Quicktime doesn't even show up there. No luck, no luck at all...
    My iPod is of absolutely no use to me without the iTunes. I have installed iTunes on a number of computers and have never encountered this problem. Please help!!
    Sincerely,

  • Itunes 8 will not launch on windows vista

    When I have mt ipod connected to the computer, itunes launches fine and automatically. When I try to open itunes without the ipod connected, I get a dialog box, "please wait while windows configures itunes", then a staus bar, gathering required information, time remaining, and then I get a message that i need to restart my computer. If I click "no" on the restart dialog box, it brings up the "my computer" dialog box. On numerous occasions I have restarted and still nothing. I did not have any of these issues prior to downloading itunes 8. Can anyone help?

    Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
    As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
    Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
    However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.
