ITunes 8.0.2 will not launch in Vista SP1

I have a new laptop with a clean Vista SP1 install. Tried installing iTunes 8.0.2, but after I double-click on the iTunes icon to launch it, it won't start. itunes.exe is in the task manager running, but the program will not run. The first time it shows me the user agreement, I click accept, but after that, nothing.
I did a search and found the kb article suggesting I delete the configuration files. When I went to the folder, there were no configuration files to delete. I tried a different ID, run as Administrator, and nothing. Quicktime installs and launches fine. I did a malware/virus check to be on the safe side, and that came back clean. Any suggestions?

Thanks, that was helpful. When I restarted just Quicktime, it launched, but I did not get anything on the screen, just the blank player. That led me to believe it was an internet connection problem. And when I said "clean install", I misstated that . It was clean until I installed some of my stuff, like my work VPN and ZoneAlarm. Turning off ZoneAlarm did the trick. I also re-ran the installation exes as administrator, not sure if that helped or not. I am importing my music library now....

  • Itunes 10.5.2 will not launch a second time.

    If I reboot win7 or win xp, itunes runs once with no problems, but if closed it will not launch again. What is the problem?

    I am having a similar problem that started today (after updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2). As another commenter said, what is happening is that the iTunes.exe task is left running even though you may have elected to exit/close out of the application.
    In the testing I've done, I have found that this is only happening after I have connected my iPod Touch (running iOS 5.0.1) and then disconnected it.
    If I start iTunes, do not connect my iPod, and exit, it restarts just fine. Is that what the others here are seeing, too?
    For what it's worth, if I go into Task Manager and kill the iTunes.exe process, I can restart iTunes and the user window will show up again. I haven't had a need to restart to get iTunes to appear again.

  • HT1926 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes; however, it now will not launch, citing Windows error 127, any suggestions?

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, now it will not launch.  I get a Windows Error 127 message.  Any suggestions?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • ITunes 7.0.1 will not launch

    iTunes 7.01.1 no longer launches. When I click it, it toggles back and forth once in the dock and then stops moving. I'm now running OX 10.4.8. The problem did begin while I was running 10.3.9. I then upgraded but failed to solve the problem.
    Any suggestions on how to return iTunes to functionality?

    Ok I tried launching QT and it tells me "QT needs to be installed on your computer before you can use it. Please install QT" - it might not be the exact words (when I get bk to my compu @ home I can tell u the exact words if needed). The weird thing is that when u dwld itunes 7, it COMES with QT, it's supposed to be installed also. Nonetheless, I went bk 2 the site and dwlded JUST QT (latest version), but when I try to open it it gives me the msg above!! I do have an older version (I think it's 6.5.2 or something like that), & when I try to launch it it tells me "There's a newer version installed on the compu, this version cannot be opened". Urgh. I'm confused. Should I try to uninstall everything & start all over again? One thing's for sure, this xmas I'm treating myself to a mac, but in the meantime, I would really like to be able to use my nano!!! Thanx 4 any help/suggestions, it's greatly appreciated!!!

  • Windows 7.1 will not launch in Vista

    Folk, I cannot get Windows 7.1 to launch in Vista. It says I have a problem in my audio configuration and from looking at the Quicktime control panel, I do not see any stereo option under the channels. However, no other program using sound is having this problem. I was also able to use 7.0.2. i was wondering if others have had this problem or if I could get the setup files for 7.0.2 so I could go back a step.
    Thanks,
    John.

    It says I have a problem in my audio configuration and from looking at the Quicktime control panel, I do not see any stereo option under the channels.
    that message is usually caused by a problem with your QuickTime.
    perhaps try the following document. (it works with most cases of this in XP and 2000, so fingers crossed it'll help on your Vista.)

  • Firefox 3.6.11 will not launch *using vista* & tried ALL "solutions" listed here

    The firefox update automatically loaded and I have been unable to launch Firefox ever since. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. System will not let me change profile as illustrated on this site. Have made adjustments to my Norton 360 as illustrated on this system. I don't want to use IE but I've got no choice now.
    TFB Mozilla doesn't care about losing a loyal user!!!

    Was Firefox running when you canceled the SP3 installation?
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You can also try other options like "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" and "Reset toolbars and controls".<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />
    If a new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • Treo Pro will not sync with Vista SP1

    I'm really hoping somebody can help me here.  I just replaced my aging 700p with the long-awaited Treo Pro (Sprint).  I've actually been looking forward to getting fully Windows-based, since my 700p syncing was routinely problematic - always having to do workarounds and plug in the cord just the right way, etc...
     Let me try to give you the flow so far.
    I have Vista SP1
    I get Treo Pro
    I plug Treo Pro into Vista, SP!, all ready to sync up my Outlook 2007 data.
    Treo Pro fires up a very impressive looking installation routine.
    Routine seemingly works fine - getting me to the point where you unplug and reconnect your device to do your first sync
    I reconnect, and hear the Windows "USB connect" sound, then.... nothing.
    I open WMDC and it says "not connected"
    I open "USB to PC" on the Treo, and uncheck the "advanced networking" box as suggested by some other posts.
    Windows sees the difference and installs a couple of other drivers.
    Windows connects, gives me the "USB connect" sound, and WMDC says "not connected"
    The Treo appears to attempt a sync, but finishes with a message "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer. "
         HUH?  ActiveSync only works with XP - of course I can't install that!
    By the way, I tried the same thing with my Vista SP1 laptop. Same exact results.
    Also, at no time have I seen the WMDC icon in the tray area. (I remember having a Nino way back when, and the ActiveSync icon was down there)
    I thought this was supposed to be easy - Windows PC, Windows device.  Piece of cake, right?  Not so.  If I cannot get this thing to connect, I'm getting a Centro! (not my first choice....)
    A thought... any chance this could have to do with having Palm Hotsync still installed (from my Treo 700p)?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    On Windows XP, having HotSync installed didn't interference with using ActiveSync with a Treo 800w. This is not exactly the same as your setup, but close enough that I think HotSync is not likely to be the problem.
    How did you install WMDC? The downloadable User Guide (PDF pp44-46) refers to running the PC Setup program. Did that part go as expected?
    I don't use Vista, so I'm not familiar with the additional complications that might be involved...

  • Itunes 7.1.1 will not launch

    The app window never appears, but the little 'hash' mark under the app on the dock is there to indicate it's open, and the activity monitor does not list the process (except for the helper which is always running to my knowledge). When i force quit, the app still appears to be running when switching apps or checking the dock. No error message appears when launching off the dock or when force quitting the application, but if I launch by doubleclicking in the apps folder, it gives me an error in the finder "The operation could not be completed. An unexepcted error occured (error code -600)". I've tried trashing the app and re-installing but still no dice. Odder still, this started happening after I had been using itunes all weekend without running any software updates.
    Anyone else having this nightmare sort of issue? I was using this computer to rip all my CD's and now itunes is holding my music library hostage! The library's intact, fortunately, but getting itunes to work again is a little bit beynd my level of troubleshooting.
    HELP!

    OK - i found someone else having the same problem on the forum. They said that their ipod shuffle was plugged into their computer but when they unplugged it the app launched just fine. Well sure enough the same was true for me - I can't believe i went through all that hassle and worry and it was simply one USB plug mucking up the works!

  • QT will not launch on Vista

    When I click my QT short cut I see a flash and the QT thumbnail in my tool bar (as if its running). The restore and maximize from the thumbnail is grayed out. The only way I can get QT to run is to find a saved QT file and open it.
    I am running the pro version and have just installed the latest update on my system ...with no change in performance.
    WHat gives?

    When I click my QT short cut I see a flash and the QT thumbnail in my tool bar (as if its running). The restore and maximize from the thumbnail is grayed out.
    Similar sorts of problems can be caused by a dodgy QuickTime display preference. If that's what is afoot here, we can probably get around it by rebuilding the QuickTime preferences files.
    First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
    Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in XP.
    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.
    5. Click OK.
    Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained files).
    6. In My Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    7. Open the Documents and Settings folder.
    8. Open the folder with the name of the XP user account in which QuickTime isn't launching properly.
    9. Open the Local Settings folder.
    10. Open the Application Data folder.
    11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
    13. Launch QuickTime. Does it open up properly this time? (Eventually?)

  • Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

    Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

    I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem.  It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista.  We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work.  We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch.  Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks, Dean

    What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

  • 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
