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.

  • Itunes will not launch on Windows Vista no error code

    Itunes will not launch on my computer. I have windows vista. I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes repeatedly. I have also tried all of the troubleshooting tips available on the apple support site. But none of them worked. Quicktimes works fine. It is just itunes. I even opened up task manager to check the processes and itunes appears for about a second in the processes tab then just disappears. I have no idea what to do i have an iphone 3gs and havent updated it for a few months now and cannot sync my iphone without itunes. I Have kaspersky internet protection but i doubt thats the problem because itunes was working fine until i updated it.PLEASE HELPPPPPP!

  • Indesign CS4 will not launch in Windows Vista

    Indesign CS4 will not launch but all other CS4 programs will in Windows Vista, has been worked perfectly up until mid february, I have spent two weeks dealing with Adobe support, and finally I ran “Windows Installer Clean Up” and restarted as requested on phone call to adobe today, then ran “WinCS4Cleanupscript” which inform me that it was clean (or words to that effect) and restarted. Did new install of CS4, at registration I noticed that the Reg Form was pre filled and with my preferences which was a bit strange. After all that Indesign still does not launch but is running. Please can anyone help.

    This is the earlier thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2621367#2621367
    I think the onus is on Rapport to sort its software to prevent it interfering with other applications, and there is a post in that thread that indicates that Rapport is both aware of the problem and is working to overcome it.
    I would hope that Adobe itself would have picked up this problem by at least monitoring this forum, but other than adding it to the knowledgebase for its technical support, which I don't expect is an overnight thing to do, I can't see what else it would be expected to do.
    Perhaps if anyone from Adobe is monitoring this problem they could chime in here and let us know what the position is. I strongly suspect that Trusteer may have been the reason I couldn't get InDesign to run under Windows 7, and so I rolled the whole shooting match back to XP. I am planning to reinstall W7 with the knowledge that I may have to toggle Trusteer on and off to run InDesign, but it would be helpful to have some assurance from either party that a fix is on its way.
    In the previous thread the Rapport response implied there was reference to the problem on its FAQ page. If there is I can't find it.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • TS1717 I tunes 10.7 will not launch on windows 7

    I tunes 10.7 will not launch in windows 7

    I am having the same problem. Like me, so many posts describe days of work with little to show for it. I have read numerous "solutions" but none work or work fully.
    Here we have two of the most influential computer companies in the world: APPLE and MICROSOFT, and hundreds of posts with people asking for help in connecting their Iphone to Windows7, or in getting Itunes under devices, to show their connected IPhone when it does not do so.
    You would think that Apple and Windows would have solved this problem and developed wizards to help their customers, but if they have done so, none of the many posts I have read make any mention of it.
    Like many who have written on their attempts to solve the problem I have installed and reinstalled Itunes, disabled USB devices, and so one.
    I am as interested in understanding what the technical problem(s) are as I am in solving my problem.
    Windows has managed to recognize literally thousands of devices yet when I connect my IPHONE 4s (presumably one of millions sold) it is silent. That is as amazing to me as it is frustrating.
    If anyone ever gets this figured out a gold star to you, and please contact [email protected]

  • 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.)

  • My 5th Generation iPod will not sync under Windows Vista

    Wow.. I finally got registered on this forum, took ages lol.
    Well I've got the latest version of the iTunes software and I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium.
    When I connect my iPod, it detects ok and then iTunes starts to sync it.. after about five seconds or so I get an error stating I do not have sufficient privelages to update the "My Music" folder, and thus my iPod will not update. Immediately after this error I check device manager, and a "USB Mass Storage Device" is detected with an error state (a yellow exclamation mark next to it). I can delete this from device manager, re-connect my iPod and it will do exactly the same all over again.
    Can anyone help?

    I've had it working in the past, thats what is odd.
    It just refuses to update saying I don't have the necessary privelages.
    Not sure when the next version of iTunes will be released, hope its soon.

  • 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

  • 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.)

I have re-installed and restarted but photoshop will not run and I get the same message window that I need to install JAVA SE6. How do I make this work?

  • IPod will not install on Windows Vista, iTunes is fine?

    Hello,
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers. One computer connects to my 60GB iPod video just fine, while the other looks for drivers and then fails to find any. I get a window that pops up saying "Insert the disc that came with your iPod" after Windows searches for drivers. Because of this, the iPod does not appear in iTunes, nor does it appear in My Computer. I have tried performing a soft reset on the iPod (Menu/Center combo) which did not work. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes to no avail. This is a brand new Windows installation and I just can't figure out why it won't work. iTunes seems to work just fine in all other respects.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Scroll down to the quote from WickedMX.
    Basically, C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore\Repository and look for a folder that starts with usbstor. You will probably have two different versions. Open the folder that is the newest version and then copy the files usbstor.inf and usbstor.PNF. Copy them to the C:\Windows\INF folder. Try installing your device(s) again and it should work like a charm!

  • ITunes latest version will not launch in Windows 7

    iTunes will not lauch regardless of what I do.  I have tried re-installing with no luck.  I have tried holding down ctrl-shift keys when attempting to launch, that didn't work either.  I just get a window that Apple wants to make changes to my computer and I respond yes, but still nothing happens.  When I try to launch iTunes nothing happens, no error message or anything.  I am at a loss as to what to try next.  Please someone HELP!

    Now nothing happens when launching iTunes.  No messages appear.
    Could you check something further for me, please? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

  • ITunes will not update on Windows Vista Inspiron 1525

    I have a Windows Vista Inspiron 1525 and iTunes version 9.1 or something. Every time I try to update iTunes/QuickTime to 9.2 or 10.0, it starts installing but stops after awhile. Please comment, whether you have a similar issue or have a solution to this problem. Thank you!

    King Penguin set you on the right track. It's probably security software not recognizing the new version of itunes, and blocking it.
