Itunes application will not open on my computer

when I logged onto my computer to open the iTUNES application, it will not open.  I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still will not open.  The only thing that happens is the user agreement opens up.  Once I accept the license agreement, it closes and nothing happens.  Anys suggestions.......

If that doesnot work, Repair or Reinstall your Quicktime.

  • Itunes application will not open giving error code (-50) after update

    I'm having a bit of a problem with itunes. I'm running windows 7 64-bit and I hope someone could help me. When I finished making some purchases from itunes store over the weekend, I was told that there was an update for itunes. So I updated itunes and now I cannot get into itunes period. Luckly I was able to back up my purchases. When I try to open a movie that I purchased from the backup folder, I get a message that says "The iTunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." or when I try to open itunes running as administrator I get another message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I am the only person using this computer and I have full admin rights. I had tried to download itunes again and even repaired itunes, but it just keeps crashing (B.S.o.D.). My OS is up to date. It also shows that itunes is running in task manager. So I have no idea wt heck is going on. Any help would be thankful.

    What numerical and text codes are you getting for the BSOD? (For example, 0X0000007E.)
    If the blue screen is referencing a specific file (for example, ati3duag.dll), let us know what the file is called too.

  • I just got a new Ipod and had to update my Itunes to a newer version to use it. But now Itunes app will not open on my computer. What do I do?

    I just got a new Ipod and had to update my itunes. Now my itunes will not open. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute & the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box.
    If you're gonna use the phone on the same computer your son uses, read through this:

  • ITunes 8 will not open on my Computer

    I recently updated my older version of iTunes but now iTunes doesnt work. All of my music is still saved but the program itself will not open. When I follow the instructions online it does no good. My computer when turning off to restart pops up a message telling me that iTunes is running but not responding. Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried everything.

    I have downloaded itunes to my computer. All of my itunes from my old computer are on my ipod classic. I went through all of the troubleshooting tips and i still can't get it to work. What i really need is for someone smarter than me to talk me through it in case i missed a step. Two heads are better than one and i really don't have a clue what to do anymore.

  • My iTunes Store will not open on my computer

    I can not open iTunes store on my pc program it just keeps searching.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Itunes 11 will not open on my computer. It worked before I restarted it but doesn't work anymore.

    Itunes will no longer work on my computer since it upgraded to itunes 11.

    I'm having similar issue, but with Windows XP.
    I bought a new phone a few days ago and restored my itunes to it from icloud.
    Could the problem be related?

  • After I update itunes, it will not open.

    For the past year I have been trying to fix this problem. After I try to update my itunes, it will not open on my computer. Sometimes it says my quicktime is not updated or it says my windows is not compatible. I have no idea how to fix this problem!! If anyone can help, that would be awesome!! Thank you!!

    Taken from another post:
    1) Uninstall whatever version of itunes and quicktime your running. Go to your control panel and under "add/delete" programs select both applications. This will not wipe your song files.
    2) after you delete both applications. Reinstall itunes version 7.5. This will also automatically install Quicktime 7.3. Things will still not work.
    3) Go back into"add/delete" and uninstall quicktime. BLOW it away.
    4) Go to the following link and download and install quicktime version 7.2

    5) Restart itunes....all should work.

  • Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop  has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

    please help
    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • Itunes simply will not open! please tell me why...i need my music!

    hello (hopefully) helpful peeps,
    ok firstly, i know virtually nothing about computers...and mine is driving me nuts!!
    i use an old powerbook (think it's from 2000). i have been having several problems with it over the past year, but the most annoying one is that itunes simply will not open. i have re-installed it several times but when i click on it, it just bounces twice and then...nothing. it says it is there in my applications folder- version 8.0.2, taking up 139.3 MB of my limited space (only 5.59 GB hard drive!) and it is completely useless to me! when i installed this latest version i checked the compatibility and it all seemed fine, so it can't be to do with that.
    please can anyone help? ...i just want to listen to my music! :'(
    ps. use BASIC computer talk please! think 'computers for dummies', none of this fancy lingo. ta!

    LOL! good analogy...and i love mini coopers!
    i am just as surprised as you that it is still hanging on despite it's age and size...tho it is driving me nuts and most of the time i want to take a sledge hammer to it!
    my brother uses the exact same one, only i think he put a larger internal drive in his and he doesn't seem to have any problems (in fact this one used to be his til it broke one day, so he got another one, but managed to fix this one and gave it to me! it was second hand to begin with) i have had nothing but problems! but i just don't understand why itunes etc worked fine before when i haven't really used any more space, if anything i now use less cos i deleted practically everything!
    so is it possible to get a larger internal drive (considering how old it is) or do you think it's not worth it? i have absolutely no idea how i would go about that, i suppose i would have to pay someone to fit it? i wouldn't dare open it up myself!
    if they weren't so hideously expensive, i would just buy a lovely shiny new macbook since macs are def my preferred choice...tho i don't know why i am still loyal after all the grief it has given me!
    cheers for being so helpful and sorry to ask all these questions but you seem to know your stuff...i'm clueless

  • Itunes Library will not open!!!!!    itunes Library will not open!!!!!

    Hello,
    This is very frustrating that hundreds of people view these questions and only a few people answer. The issue here is that my itunes Library will not open. I'd sure like to know what is causing this and if it's gone forever.
    WinXP. Pro.
    I have many Mp3 music files under the same playlist names as in my ipod, i:e: Country,Jazz,Blues,Classic Rock, Alternative,vocal,light sounds,etc. When I drag new mp3 music files into my ipod library,then sync to my ipod, Itunes makes a backup of itune music files in their folder..I think. Anyway, those mp3 muic files are still on the Hard drive,but I can not open up my itunes Library. is it Gone????
    Sooooooooooooooo...I was slap-happy in upgrading my itunes software for my 80GB fith gen ipod for the kick of it. I downloaded the new updates.then tried to open my itunes library and it wouldn't open...I hooked up my Ipod thinking that may help open up the Library,but nothing.
    I tried the system restore,nothing. I uninstalled itunes,then reinstalled the itunes/quicktime download from apple. I clicked on the itunes icon on the desktop a few times and then a few times more,nothing. I guess I'm missing the itunes.ink file to open this up. regardless, I went to the Windows/Start/programs/itunes...nothing again. Windows Explorer/C:/ program files/itunes...nothing.
    I was afraid when I uninstalled the itunes software from before,it would erase the itunes Library,but the music is still on my hard drive,I just can't open the itunes Library. At this point,I should buy an external hard drive and transfer all my Mp3 files and the itunes music files/podcasts/photos,wipe the hard drive,reinstall the O.S. and start all over again.
    I'm guessing I am out of options with this itune Libray. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

    Still unanswered. I'm still trying to install itunes so I could use the library. I am removing Mp3 files from my hard drive to free up space,so if I ever do get the itunes setup,I'll have to remove the SYNC and do the manual so I ONLY transfer Podcasts into the ipod and not lose them becuase of the unchecked boxes.
    Ok, I uninstalled EVERYTHING that has to do with Itunes/ipod from the computer..Add/remove programs, serch all files/folders,Windows Explorer,Start>All programs,the Itune reference. Turned off all my Firewall,spyware,and anti-virus,,downloaded the new 7.5 version Itunes/ipod...saved to desktop,installed the new software...then NADA! NOTHING! I can click on the shortcut desktop icon, and all the other ways to click the software open, but nothing. peole on other sites reccomend Tag and rename and use the Winamp media Library,because of all the lack of personal customer support APPLE lacks. I guess I was a Big FOOL to spend my hard earned $350.00 for this ipod.

  • Mail application will not open

    My mail application quit opening a few weeks ago. When I try to open it with the icon on the dock and in the finder the screen just blinks. Even my computer savvy wife cant figure it out. My next stop is the genius bar unless there are some geniuses here. I can still get mail via .mac log in but cannot send links or documents as the OS mail application will not open when I need to send them.
    Any suggestions????

    I would take your OS X installation disc and insert it in the drive, then restart the Mac and hold down the C key until you see the spinning cursor on screen. When it finishes loading, select Disk Utility from the Installer menu and first Repair Disk, then Repair Permissions, then reboot from your HD, eject the OS X disc and try Mail again.
    If that doesn't work, then the best thing in terms of time and effort would be to do an Archive and Install of OS X 10.5, with the Preserve Users and Network Settings option. This will install a new copy of 10.5, while preserving all of your current folders and applications, and moving all the old ones to a folder named Previous System. You can then use Software Update to bring it current to 10.5.3, run Repair Permissions when that's done, then Mail should work normally again. Once you've confirmed that and that all your other programs and files are intact and working, you can delete the Previous System folder.
