Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

"Itunes cannot open because it has detected a problem"

I upgraded to the new version of Itunes and now that I went to go open it I got a message saying "Itunes cannot open because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" Can someone help me and if it is my computer how do I get an older Itunes.

First thing would be to try un-installing Quicktime, and then just re-installing the stand alone version of Quicktime. If you have a non-name brand sound card you may be beat. Apple has a hard time supporting the name brand cards, and does not seem to QA test any of the low end hardware.

Lightroom 3 cannot open because another application already has it opened.

Lightroom 3 cannot open because another application already has it opened. I received this confirmation after sending photo files to my E Book. Please help.

Look in the folder where your catalog is and remove the file with a .lock extension. That should do the trick. The file is to prevent two openings of the same catalog and is usually left when Lightroom is closed incorrectly.

How come when i open my itunes it says "itunes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." What do i do?

Please reinstall itunes." what do i do?

With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

ITunes cannot open because of a problem

So, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes from the apple website. That did not help.
I've tried opening iTunes while holding option. That did not help.
I'm not sure what else to try. I've looked through the forums, but nothing seems to work.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Never mind sorted it out lol. Somebody did a system restore of a week or so. I had done the update during that time and it was lost. Just redownloaded itunes from the internet and its working fine now.

Itunes cannot open because of unknown error (13005)

Help. Itunes will not open, but if I log onto my computer as another user, Itunes works fine.
Thanks

Some users here have reported that one cause of the Runtime error is the Apple Software Update, so you might try removing that and see if that fixes the problem. Removing the Software Update shouldn't affect iTunes itself (though as with any software maintenance operation, it would be wise to make a backup of your purchased tracks before you try it), you just won't get automatic update checking.
Hope this helps.

You Windows must have different user profile where iTunes is open in that profile. Switch windows user and close the iTunes, then return to your own user profile to open again.

Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing...vista 64 bit OS

I'm running on a Vista 64 bit HP computer, and I have been trying to download itunes for the past couple days and all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes...I have no idea what to do...i have looked around the forums for information and I guess I'm not the only one having issues using a 64 bit OS. Btw the 64 bit Itunes won't work either. It does the same exact thing...

all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes
I'd like to check for malware with that message, Nico. (With modern versions of iTunes, if files really were missing, iTunes would be much more likely to do a repair install of itself when you wen't to launch it, rather than returning the old-fashioned files-are-missing message.

I cant open my itunes because "another user as it open"

Hellow, I have itunes for two years now and recently when I am trying to open my itune it just open a window saying "you cannot open the application itubes because another user as it open" but I dont have another user on my windows 7 computer so I dont understant what I should do?

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Can't connect to my itunes because the message states that another user is using my itunes when thi is not true.

I can not connect to my itunes account because the message states that another user in using the account and this is not true.

After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.
