ITunes 8.0.2 installed, but won't open

Yesterday I upgraded my iTunes to version 8.0.2 because it had been telling me to do so for months. I installed it on the administrator account on my family's XP (each user has a seperate account, with their own iTunes library). It now works only on the administrator account, and it will not open iTunes on any other account. Whenever I try to open it, it says:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
For more information about this error, click here.
Debug Close
I have done eveything I can to try and fix this and get our iTunes back, but nothing works. The apple website says I need to install it on the administrator account (which I did) and have the newest update of a Microsoft Service Pack (which I also did). There is no specific error code. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated!

There is a good troubleshooting article here:

I think you have already established that the problem is account specific if iTunes works in your Administrator account, so you need to go down the user specific route.
Does Quicktime work OK in all the accounts? iTunes will not work if Quicktime doesn't.
Are the other accounts limited user? If they are it might be interesting if you temporarily promoted one of them to see if that made a difference.
Does each user have a completely different library, are are you using shared folders? It might help to know how you have things set up.

  • ITunes shows up as installed but won't open showing message Apple Push Service.dll not found

    iTunes shows "installed" yet will not open up when I click on icon, showing message Apple Push Service.dll not found

    If you definitely have a working QuickTime but iTunes thinks that you7 do not, then this points to a particular type of error.
    Do you have a computer that has been set up for a work network? You may find that iTunes works OK when the computer is connected to the network but doesn't at home when not connected.
    There are other possibilities, but this is a common one.
    If I have guessed right, the problem lies in the %path% environment variable. In order to look at its contents, could you do the following:
    Type:
    cmd
    into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
    The black cmd window will open.
    Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
    echo %path% >documents\path.txt
    This will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
    Could you copy&paste this text file into your next post so I can look at it.

  • Keynote installed but won't open.

    Keynote installed but won't open.

    Looks like you installed SpellCatcher at one time. Uninstall. I'm not sure about the lastest SpellCatcher release today. Both older versions of SpellCatcher and Unsanity's Application Enhancher causes Keynote to fail to launch successfully.

  • Itunes 7 installed, but won't open

    Hi! I had an older version of itunes (not 6.5, prior to that) and I decided to upgrade to itunes 7. I downloaded it and all was fine, I did not get any error message and it said the installation was successfully completed. However, now my itunes will not open at all. Again, there is no error message, but when I double click it the little hour glass comes up for a moment, then goes away and nothing happens.
    I had this same problem some time ago when I tried upgrading to itunes 6.5. Both now and back then I tried all of the suggestions on the website to no avail. Eventually I just uninstalled 6.5 and downloaded my previous version and everthing was fine.
    Again this time I have tried every possible solution to get itunes to work, but nothing has helped. Is there anything you can suggest? If nothing else I would like to go back to using itunes 5 or some older version, however now I cannot find those avalible for download on the itunes site. If nothing else could you please direct me to a site that has the version of itunes PRIOR to 6.5 avalible to download for Windows? Thank you.

    Hello,
    I had the same problem and I deleted everything expect the itune music folder in the document folder then I installed the "install CD" that came with ipod (my version is itunes 4 with the install CD. I got everything working again exect for one problem. I can't play any of my purchased songs. It says that my computer needs to authorization, but the thing is my computer is and it won't let me authorization. when I get to the itunes store it wants me to upgrade to itunes 7.
    I hope this helps you a little.
    Good Luck,

  • Firefox 3.6 just installed but won't open

    SUBJECT: FIREFOX WON'T OPEN. I have used Firefox for years, but upon reinstalling my Vista Home Premium OS, I also had to reinstall all my software. The only problem I had was with Firefox, which appeared to download and install successfully, but refuses to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled it twice from the Internet, but it still won't open from either the desktop icon or the program list under 'Start'. Something seems to be blocking it, but what, and how can I fix this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == June 29, 2010 when my Vista OS was reinstalled ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)

    Does it start in [[Safe Mode]]? If it does, close the Safe Mode Firefox and open it normally. If it doesn't open, try creating a new profile at [[Managing Profiles]]

  • PB Apps on BBW Downloading and installing But won't open.

    I've just bought a Playbook and installed the lates OS. When I went to Blackberry World to install some apps, they seem to download and install fine but then sit in limbo and won't open. This has happened to 3 free apps now.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The apps I installed are the Blackberry Tutorial, The Belgium Zip Code  Lookup and a Soltaire Game.
    The apps are visible on the App World screen as installed. But no icon appears anywhere else. Touching the app in the App World menu only provides a description. There is no loss of functionality with the rest of the Playbook. 

  • LR6 downloaded/installed but won't open.  Help screens didn't help.

    I am logged into my creative cloud account.  I downloaded and installed the new LR upgrade but it won't open using either of the methods in help.  I have tried a restart, no joy.  I still have LR5 installed but I don't want to try removing it unless I can get LR6 to open.  Hope you can help with this.  Respectfully, Duncan

    Me too. Tried to get Adobe to help. After 30 minutes someone answered the telephone. Support person implied he's never heard of such a thing. Posted problem on forum. Someone asked me about my computer specs. Tried the support chat feature. Waited forever. Nobody at Adobe responded to chat request. Eventually got a robot email form Adobe stating the problem is solved and issue officially closed. Before this afternoon I had a working LR. Now, I have one LR that is partially functional and one that doesn't open.

  • My EBAY app has disappeared, but when I go to App Store, it is already installed but won't open

    My EBAY app has dissappeared from my screen. It is already installed, but it won't open (in App Store).  How do I get it back?

    Sounds like the above solution worked for you I'm posting this for other readers:
    One reason this can occur is because of parental settings. eBay has a rating of 12+; if this is not allowed in
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Apps
    ...then the app will not show up.

  • IWeb installed, but won't open to desktop

    I was working on my website, clicked on save, and all disappeared.
    iWeb remains in the Applications folder, but will not open from there
    or from the saved file on the desk top and one on the palm drive.
    I re-installed iWeb (iLife 9), but it still will not open.
    What to do now?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - launch iWeb and see if there's any improvement.

  • Classic is installed but won't open apps

    Hi, orangekay.
    After using Macs for 24 years and hanging around these forums quite regularly for about half that time (since several years before they were called Apple Discussions), I have no clue at all what "See the bless tool's man page" might mean, or how to go about doing so. I suspect that a good many other readers of your post, quite possibly including TokyoMonAmour, will be similarly mystified. Perhaps it would be more helpful just to tell how to re-bless the System Folder.
    If an OS 9 or earlier System Folder does not bear the Mac OS smiley-face logo, it is not "blessed". To re-bless the System Folder, open the folder, drag the System file out of it onto the desktop, close the folder, and drag and drop the System file back onto the closed folder. The Mac OS logo should now appear on it.
    TokyoMonAmour:
    I don't know that re-blessing the SF will be the solution to your problem. If it doesn't help (or if the SF is already blessed), please post back and let us know.

  • ITunes is installed but won't open

    I just installed iTunes 6.0 and after restarting my computer I tried to open iTunes and a window poped up and immediatly closed. It looks like it has an 'Accept' or 'Decline' option but it closes before I can do anything. I tried re-installing, un-installing and re-installing older versions but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any tips?

    hi serenitysweet!
    like Katrina, i am also incredibly tired of *** messages. it's probably a contributing factor to me not being able to bear spending much time in this forum over the past few days.
    when i click to open it, not only will it not open, but with windows task manager, it will not remove itself from the processes list when i click "end process" or "end process tree"
    if itunes.exe is persisting in Task Manager, the first two possibilities you should check up on are:
