ITunes does not appear to launch on Windows 7

I have a HP Pavillion laptop running windows 7, my iTunes software and Quicktime are fully updated. Itunes doesn't launch on my taskbar or display, and is not recognised as being open on task manager. 'Itunes.exe*32' is said to be processing in the processes after I try to launch itunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software and followed all the suggested forum advice. I've tried other users and had the same issue and tried the wider system troubleshoot which also has had no effect. I have no idea what to do now, but I desperately need my iTunes Library to open!

Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

ITunes Does Not Appear in the List of Default Programs?

My wife is trying to get iTunes to be her default media player, using the instructions found at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3202.
However, when she goes to the list of default programs, following steps 1 and 2 at that link, iTunes does not appear in the list.
How can we correct this?
Thanks very much in advance for any info.

I was having this same problem. I understood how to change the default program but like yours my iTunes was not in the list so therefore I was unable to set it to default.
This worked for me: (I have Vista)
I checked for updates on my iTunes program and there was an overdue update. I installed and restarted iTunes. Then went to my Default Programs tab and followed the instructions just as described in the support material and after my installation of the newest update my iTunes was now listed in the lineup of available default programs.
I hope this works for you as well!
Thanks and good luck!

How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Try to open itunes it says "itunes does not appear to be a valid music file

i've uninstalled itunes before and reinstalled it off of the internet and i try to open it and it says "the file "itunes library.itl" does not appear to be a valid music library file. itunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to itunes library (damaged)

Back up your music and then uninstall it; while the uninstallation process doesn't affect the library, other things can.

HT1238 ipod shuffle 2nd generation does not appear in Reset Utility window.

Hi there! I'm seeking some advice for repairing an old ipod shuffle.
My mom's 2nd generation iPod shuffle suddenly will not appear on her computer. She is using windows vista (sad face). I ran all the reccommeded troubleshooting suggestions, but still can't repair the disk.
When connected to the original computer (windows vista), the charging light comes on but the disk does not appear anywhere on the computer. I ran the diagnostics and it apparently has the most updated software, but there is another unspecified error.
When I tried to run the repair suggestions on my own computer, i can't get the disk to show anywhere....the charging light will not even come on.
Any other suggestions I might have overlooked?

but there is another unspecified error.
What is that error?
Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

Macintosh HD does not appear in left Finder window under Devices

When I open Finder, Macintosh HD does not appear in the left panel under Devices--only my external hard drive is listed. I am also using a third-party file management program called Forklift, and when I use that program to look at my files, Macintosh HD properly appear under Devices, along with my external hard drive.

Under Finder Preferences, do you have both Hard Disks and External Hard disks checked on?

ITunes does not open or launch

My iTunes will not open.
If I click on a shortcut it tells me "This action is only allowed for products that are currently installed."
So I tried to uninstall my iTunes but it won't let me. It says that "The feature you are trying to use is in on a network resource that is unavailable" "Click OK or try an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below" ...but nothing works!
Then I tried to just install it and it also won't let me.
Finally I tried to repair on Add and Remove Programs. It says " The installation source for this program is not available. Verifiy that the source exist and that you access it."
The only way to launch iTunes is by plugging Ipod to the computer. I really need someones help! Please! thks!

Dowlnloaded music to itunes does not appear in library

I have downloaded several cds to itunes and they show they are downloading but after that they do not appear in the itunes libraries. If I do a search it shows they exist on the computer hard disk but they cannot be accessed nor apparently moved to an itunes library where they then can upload to an ipod. Even erasing them does not then allow them to be reloaded to itunes libraries.
Thanks for your advise

I had a similar issue. I realised that the music wasn't on the computer but on the cloud... do you have an iTunes Match account, if so try downloading 1 track to the computer by clicking on the cloud icon in iTunes, then go back into iMovie and see if that track is available. Hopefully it will be like mine.

I installed a configurator in CS6 Extension Manager. However it does not appear in CS6 under Window

I installed a configurator in CS6 Extension manager whch went fine. However in CS6 under Window > extensions the configurator does not show up

Hi 1432690,
Which configurator did you install? Is it a ZXP or MXP file? Which product( such as Photoshop, InDesign, ... ) does this configurator support? Where can we download this configurator? Is there any error during installation? In order to list this extension in Extension Manager, you have to select the correct product in the left panel of Extension Manager first. Thanks.

Safari Does Not Appear After Launch After Extended Period Before Logging In

Dell Dimension E521
Windows XP Pro (all updates installed)
I restart the computer, and then I log into my user account immediately. I launch Safari (5.0.2). It launches and operates properly.
I restart the same computer, and then I log into my user account thirty or more minutes later. I launch Safari. There is no apparent Safari activity, except for the hour glass. Safari never appears onscreen, nor does the Safari icon appear in the task menu at the bottom of the screen. If I subsequently launch another application, then Safari appears behind it. Safari runs properly thereafter.
In the second scenario, if I launch other applications instead of Safari, then they appear onscreen and run properly. Safari seems to be the only application that displays this behavior.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Can anyone recommend a solution?
Thank you.

By the way, can Windows place a computer into hibernation or sleep if a user is not logged in, since those settings have not yet been loaded?
It's a good question ... I was doing some reading up on BIOS before posting before, and there is some sign that BIOS or EFI can load some power management settings.
An alternate possibility is that the PC is in S0 (awake) while in that 30 minute period, but some individual devices on the PC may have slept:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373229(VS.85).aspx
... and running Safari might not be waking up, say, the network adaptor properly.
I guess if that is the case, it might be possible to test it ... if you launch a different web browser (like IE) immediately after the "delayed log-ins", will Safari launch immediately for you if you launch it after launching the other browser?
