ITunes doesn't even start

i installed a fresh copy of itunes 7 and it crashes before it even starts.
i tried to uninstall quicktime and reinstall it and it still doesnt work.
anyone have any ideas?

Is there an error number in parenthesis with that message? Or is there a details button available on that error message?
If so you may want to try this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304318
If you are still not getting a message, is Safe Mode currently turned on in Quicktime?
Also could you get a crash log for us with these steps:
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Log out of the account that itunes is working fine in and log into the account that itunes crashes in. generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using. (go into your "Help > About iTunes" to doublecheck.)
(2) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

  • I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.   It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

    I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. 
    It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
    even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
    This problem is irritating me....?

    To take panorama
    - ensure that the panorama option is on
    - press the shutter button once
    - you will see a line with an arrow
    - move around in a circle  ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
    - as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
    - at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
    I hope that this helps, do report back.

  • After updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS 6.1.3, my iPhone no longer charges by wall or connected to my computer, it doesn't even start itunes, meaning I cannot restore software, anything that can be done without returning the phone?

    I updated the phone, and now, it won't charge through the wall charger, or through connecting to my PC. It doesn't even launch itunes or register it has connected. But the phone still palys music through my docking station. HELP!?

    Hey guy;
    I have the same problem and I do anything you can imagine. If you leave your phone about two or three days and after that plug in it your phone will be power on but your problem doesn't fix. I tried to restore as a new phone, reset all my settings and also I contacted Apple Support but I couldn't fix it. I think that it would be a software issue because it occurred right after iOS 6.1.3 update. It look likes that we have only two choice. First choice is waiting until Apple release next iOS update and check it in our phones, and the other choice is visiting an Apple retail store to diagnostic our phones for hardware issue.

  • HT1386 It says to click the device button in the upper right corner....there isn't one.  Itunes doesn't even recognize my devices since I did the most current update.  I have two iPhones, thru different carriers, and neither one works now!

    I did the latest iTunes update...I have 2 iPhones--each thru a different provider.  Now, I can't sync to download any music from iTunes.  iTunes doesn't recognize either device now.  I went thru diagnostics, didn't work.  I tried the suggestions from Apple...it says to click the device button in upper right corner....there isn't one.  When I connected each for the first time after update, it "installed device drivers".  I have checked for further updates on iTunes--nothing.  I made sure there were no updates listed for iPhones...all up to date.  I get an error code and from what I have looked through in forums etc, it seems like a lot of people are getting it...0ex000084 I believe it was.  Windows opens to download photos but that's it.  Devices are not listed at all.  I have tried all 3 USB ports in computer too.  I have never had any problems before this update!!  HELP!  I just bought $15 worth of music I can't download to phones now!

    On the left hand side of iTunes do you have the sidebar up left hand side?
    If this is not up then try this, with iTunes open press "Control" and "s" together and it should bring it up. From the sidebar it should show an option devices with the iPhones underneath it.

  • TS1425 ipod nano won't synch, i plugged it in to computer after not synching for a long time and it wouldn't install a new driver and now itunes doesn't even recognize it when i plug it in

    "The device manager just needed to be prompted to use the driver for an Apple Mobile Device instead. The Apple driver was already in my PC - I just had to prompt the device manager to use it instead of the camera driver it kept installing. Here's what I did:
    I right-clicked the iPhone in Device Manager and chose Update Driver (for me, the iPhone was showing up in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices).
    I selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and clicked Next.
    I chose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and clicked Next.
    In the next window there were 2 drivers to choose from: the "Digital Still Camera" driver that my PC kept thinking the iPhone was, and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I selected the Apple Mobile Device driver.
    The driver installed, and at that point iTunes 9.2 could finally detect the iPhone. Yay!"

  • ITunes 7 wont even start, corrupted old versions

    I tried upgrading to version 7. the installation went well, but when i try opening it for the first time, i agree to the licence agreement and then i get an "unknown error message [-200]"
    whats up with that. i cleaned out my registry, re-installed, and the same problem. I even tried a system restore to get back my old version of iTunes, but it was corrupted or something. The scroll bars were all blacked out, and it wouldnt play anything.
    This is so frustrating, especially how apple boasts about how great its products are. I thought upgrades were supposed to improve functionality and not completely impair it.
    Has anyone had this problem? I think i may have no choice but to go back to the iTunes software that came with my first gen 15 GB iPod.

    I'm right with you. I tried installing 7.0 and it completely messed up everything. I got an error message toward the end of the install and after that, it failed to open. I tried cleaning the registry, reinstalling, with no luck. I even found the 6.0.5 install so I cleared off all the 7.0 version, tried to install the old one and now it won't start either. Thank you so very much Apple. Anyone who figures this out please let me know. I want my iTunes back.

  • ITunes won't even start

    Hello, I've never had problems with this before, but ever since I got the update it wont start at all. Any help here?

    It appears in my processes for 3 seconds then disappears.
    that tends to be most consistent with malware, so i'd try randy baton's suggestion.
    download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer them, try running an online virus scan too. (that can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
    if your security software providers don't offer online scans, perhaps try the Symantec Online Virus Check. (apologies in advance ... it takes an eternity to complete.)

  • The Sims 3 [Island Paradise] - Game Doesn't Even Start (Please HELP)

    I recently re-installed the Sims 3 and 3 expansion packs with it (Pets, Seasons & Island Paradise) on my new computer (MacBook Pro 13' - 2012). I downloaded so many stuff from thesimsresource.com page but the game didn't show up any problem (picture 1). I came back from school and I wanted to play but since I pressed the Play button, that's what happened (picture 2). I started my computer again and again, pressed the play button again, so many times but it still shows that stupid black screen and I can't play   That actually happened to me, previous times but after pressing the play button so many times, it loaded normally and I could actually play the game. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? Please? I'm gonna keep trying but can I avoid this? It's annoying and tiring.

    It is a classpath problem.
    Either check if your jaxp jars are in the classpath or upgrade to jdk

  • Just updated Java, and now Firefox doesn't even start. Tried rebooting, resinstalling, and still nothing. Sadly, had to resolve to IE... any suggestions?

    After clicking on the firefox icon, the cursor changes briefly to the "running" mode, but nothing happens afterwards. If I open the task manager, Firefox.exe is running, but I can't use it.
    Please help!!! I love Firefox, and can't stand having to use IE!!

    I think I figured out Firefox, I went under Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox.
    I only have one account on my computer. Honestly I don't even really know how multiple accounts work. I've never played around with it. I already allowed Java - should I disable it?

  • Ppt import doesn't even start

    since quite a while keynote refuses to import any ppt documents. Started from the Finder the error message is simply that the document could not be imported, invoking keynote from the command line gives at least the following error message:

    And one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.
