ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.

No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes downloads but won't open

Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7 in September, I've been having problems...it worked great for the first week and now refuses to open. I've tried completely removing iTunes, Quicktime, and iPod Updater before reinstalling, but it still won't work after several tries. I've tried opening it from Windows Task Manager, from Program Files, the Start Menu, and by clicking on the icon. The program and my music is there, it just won't open--I don't even get an error message. It just doesn't do anything. Help!

I only have 256MB of RAM, though I'm planning on upgrading. Do you think that might be a problem?
it's not the first thing i think about in these circumstances. if you're planning on upgrading anyway, that's fine. but i probably wouldn't rush your plans as part of a troubleshooting measure for the itunes/quicktime thing.
backtracking to something else you said earlier:
itunes.exe does appear in the Task Manager processes once I click on it, but not under applications.
is it a long persistence in there, or is it more of a quick 1-2 second appearance? (that can help with identifying possible culprits.)
if you try launching your QT after a reboot, does the QuickTimePlayer.exe process appear (in Task Manager in the Processes tab) immediately, or do you have to wait for 5 minutes before that one shows up?

ITunes downloaded but won't open

Got new iPod yesterday. Downloaded iTunes successfully (already had QTime) but it won't open. Have tried running virus scanner & AdAware, updated browser and checked all browser and audio settings. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and QuickTime SEVEN times, but still can't launch iTunes. All other software functioning normally. iPod unit itself seems to work--but, of course, no music on it yet. Have spent 5.5 hours going through every suggestion on this site, but nothing helps; all settings seem to be correct. Cannot find any contact info for APPLE!!!! Extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions?

I spent about 8 hrs on this yesterday (Thanks Apple). I did get it to work though, here is what I did:
I was able to get Itunes to work

I did all the things everyone suggested but no luck.
The way I made it work: I removed Itunes and quicktime as directed in other threads via the control panel. Then I did a search of the root directory for anything with itune in it (itune.), I then deleted those files. I did the same thing for quicktime. After deleting the files I emptied the recycle bin, rebooted and then reinstalled Itunes. I did not install to the default directory (C:\program files\Itunes), I put Itunes on the root (C:\Itunes).I really don't know if it was stupid luck or if it was the correct thing to do but it worked for me? Could be that just putting it on the root C: did the trick?
There were some quick time files that I couldn't delete.
There were also some itune files that I couldn't delete until I went to the directory and deleted the whole directory, the folders had long names with both letters and numbers.
This was for my duaghters new Ipod, I am going to stick with my Zen.

ITunes Doesn't Open but the K Drive Window Does

Hey,
I was grounded and my iPod was taken form me for about a month or so. Before that everything was fine. But, when I got it back I had to Restore it buy that wasn't really a problem.

Which is the drive my iPod is labeled under in "My Computer". Does anyone know the answer to thins question help would really be appreciated.

Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

When my I tunes Match has been downloaded but when i open I Tunes I do not see it in the left hand column. I have to go to I tunes store about and click on it.

When my I tunes Match has been downloaded but when i open I Tunes I do not see it in the left hand column. I have to go to I tunes store about and click on it.

When the match process is not running iTunes match will not be present in the side bar, this is normal behavior.
If you go to store in the iTunes menu bar you should see "Turn off iTunes match" and "update iTunes match".
When the match process runs, after you have restarted iTunes, or manually selected update iTunes match it will re-appear in your sidebar.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Have you tried these avenues?

I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

It would help to know your OS.

Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.
