HT203175 Itunes doesn't open on windows 8

I downloaded itunes onto my windows 8 computer around 2 months ago. I didn't seem to have any issues to start with, but sometimes it doesn't launch.
If i restart my computer, it normally works, but i was just wondering if there is a way of fixing it?
I tried changing the compatibility, and troubleshooting, but neither seem to work.. I have also scanned my computer for viruses. No viruses there..

Hello Lorenzo 1972,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes even after a fresh install with the error that it cannot find the iTunes.exe file. That path, c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe leads to the 32 bit program folder for iTunes. If you are using a shortcut you had on the desktop pre install, try going to C:\program files\itunes\ and finding the iTunes.exe file there.
If not it sounds like iTunes may be installing a damaged copy of the 32 bit version of the application, so I would recommend the following article to help you get any old installation files out so you can install the 64 bit version fresh:

ITunes doesn't open when launched or takes several minutes to open

Just like the title says, iTunes doesn't open when I click the shortcut in the Start menu. It appears in the windows task manager under proccesses as 'iTunes.exe *32'. Sometimes it will open 10-15 minutes later. It worked just fine until a few weeks ago. I have tried running as Administrator, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times. Not sure what else I can do. I need to use iTunes to synce my mom's iPhone 4S and my iPod touch 3 Generation. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6300 2.8GHz
nVidia Geforce GT520 2GB

You said it was showing in the processes as
iTunes.exe *32
You have the wrong version
Uninstall iTunes as instructed:

Reboot
Download iTunes from here:

and reinstall.

You may have an incomplete iTunes installation. Uninstall your iTunes and Re-install again.
If this still fails, try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:

ITunes doesn't open any more

My iTunes doesn't open any more all of a sudden, though Task Manager has listed it in "Processes". Quicktime and everything else works, though.
I've tried de-installing and re-installing serveral times.. Even older Versions (iTunes 10.5) won't work.
Can you tell me what to do?
Fyi: I'm using Windows 7 and iTunes version 10.7.
Thank you!

HT201263 iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone

After trying to update to ios 7.0.6, iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone and doesn't show the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.", which it should. What do I do now?

ITunes configures then wants to restart; again & again itunes doesn't open

If I want to open iTunes my system is telling me to wait untill windows has configured itunes, then its asking mo to restart, so that the changed configurations can work. so I've restarted, but now iTunes doesn't open. It just configures and wants to restart again. Can anyone help me with that problem??

I am experiencing the same problem with iTunes 8 too.
Here's what I know so far about this problem:
1. It is not fixed by uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes.
2. It is not fixed by replacing the current iTunes icon I use with a new one from the original program in my Start Menu.
3. It has something to do with the lack of administrative powers on my computer account that prevents iTunes from changing settings/reconfiguring/gathering infromation. (The iTunes on the Administrator's account works just fine.)
4. It probably has something to do with the recent change from DRM-protected to DRM-free iTunes music. That's my theory. However, it could just be that iTunes had a structural or graphical update and needs to reconfigure in order to complete the redesign. Or something to that extent.
Regardless, iTunes is reconfiguring in such a way that strictly regulated computers won't allow. Something needs to be done so that iTunes can work around this.
I hope someone can help with this problem.
Much thanks,
Lunar Guy

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Lion Mail doesn't open a window

I keep finding unwelcome changes in Lion, especially Mail. Now I notice that Mail doesn't open a window if I bring Mail to the front and no window is already open, and if a window is minimized it won't open it either as it used to do in Leopard. I have to go to the added trouble of going to File > New Viewer Window to get the regular window or click on the window in the dock. I don't understand why this was changed, it just makes more trouble.
I know people complain about changes, but I just need to know if there's a way, maybe with the help of Terminal, to bring it back to where it was?
(I am in classic layout)

No problems,
Its caught me out before too.

Hey saxmanswife,
Thanks for the question! I was able to find a document that goes over the same issue you're encountering, iTunes not opening automatically when connecting your device. Check it out here and see if that resolves it:

Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.
