ITunes doesn't open, even after download of iTunes 7

So I had iTunes 6.5 or whatever and it stopped working... Everytime I'd try to open it, it said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." So I downloaded the new iTunes 7 and after installation it automatically opened and worked fine, but when I closed it and tried to open it again, it didn't work and said the same message. I've updated all my virus software and Windows Update... so I don't know what can be stopping it.
  Windows XP  

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine
Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
Restarted iTunes
Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

    Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

  • I am unable to download itunes to my pc even after removing all itunes components

    i am unable to download itunes to my pc even after i have removed all previous components of itunes

    when i try to download itunes  i get a message that says thanks for downloading itunes. But it does so instantly and there is no download for me to install
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    PLEASE HELP!!
    I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

    Hi Kacey,
    I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

  • ITunes won't open, even after complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes/Qktime

    Hello
    This morning iTunes started refusing to open. When opened it bounces twice and then closes.
    Strange, because I didn;t just update. It worked fine after my last update and up until the present. I'm not sure but it could have started happening after I plugged in my iPod Touch 16gb 2.0. I did that sometime this morning.
    I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of both Itunes and Quicktime, and I also uninstalled Flip to Mac as I read here it could be related. Restarted my computer many times. Now, same problem, iTunes won't start.
    I live in noisy Barcelona and i'm going crazy without tunes...

    Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
    'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
    'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
    'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)

  • Itunes will not open even after I reinstalled Quick time!!!  Help!

    Okay, I have read lots of information on this site and did everything as instructed, but I am still having problems. I installed the new version of Itunes, then got a "audio configuration problem" message. So, I removed Quicktime and then re-installed Quicktime. I am still getting the same "audio configuration" message! I even tried repairing Itunes in the Add/Remove Programs folder....but it says that Itunes must have Quicktime in order to run. Well, I just reinstalled Quicktime but somehow it is not recognizing it!
    What should I do now? Help!?!?! I want to use my new Ipod.

    I went to and had a copy of the QT/IPOD Installer & I-Tunes software copied to a CD. I loaded the disc using the .exe file and all came up and ran well. Best Buy's Geek squad provided me the files free of charge. I was frustrated for three days until the thought came to mind. I hope this helps.

  • Itunes won't open, even after reintallation

    itunes just quit working.  I uninstalled, shut down the PC, then reinstalled.  It all looks good during installation...the wizard works fine, but when you try to launch you get nothing.  It won't open from the shortcut on the desktop, or the program list.  I don't seem to have any problems with any of the other programs on the PC...just itunes.  I've googled the problem and tried those suggestions.  Thanks for any help.

  • After downloading iphone pictures to desktop, itunes won't open.  I downloaded itunes 10.6 (64bit) but get "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer?" Apple Inc.  I've clicked "yes", restarted the computer, and still no luck.

    I also have the same problem, but the Software Updates tool doesn't recognise that Quicktime is out of date. Have you tried downloading Quicktime 7.7 Leopard from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime as this worked for me...?

  • ITunes doesn't show even though open, then freezes all applications

    To continue the title of the thread "iTunes doesn't show even though open, then freezes all applications and warns me of a failed raid 1 array on shutdown, even though it works fine"
    Hi, I have this problem where I press the iTunes shortcut and nothing happens. I look a the processes and itunes.exe is running using its normal 34mb of ram (or something like that). After I've done this, if I try to load firefox or IE, they also freeze and won't load.
    Then when I goto restart it warns me of iaamonitor notify app. After googling, I leanrt this is something to do with failing raid 1 arrays, but everything is fine.
    I am now in vista on the same pc using dual boot, where iTunes is running fine, but since this problem has started I have tried deleteing the itunes stuff from application data in the documents and settings, deleting the my music folder, turning off all services and startup that isnt microsoft in msconfig and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and quicktime. Nothing has worked.
    Can anybody help me? I've read so many pages from google that this seems to of happened to a fair few people in the past and I don't want to have to resort to formatting my PC. Any help would be very appreciated.

    Thank you! You guys are the best! It would have taken me awhile to figure that one out! These Support Discussions have helped me out over and over.
