ITunes error-wont even come up

When i click on the iTunes shortcut, an error occurs saying "This action is only for valid products that are currently installed." Before that, i had downloaded version 7.6.2 and bought about 15 songs. After i bought them, i closed iTunes out. Oops! I forgot to transfer them to my iPod (nano, first generation). So i tried to pull iTunes back up, and the error occured. So i tried to download 7.6.2 again and i got 2 options, Repair and remove. I clicked repair to repair damaged or missing files. After that was done, the same problem came up. Should i delete iTunes and start over?

Try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:

See if you missed anything here
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Tried to update now wont wont even come on

Ok so last night I tried to update to OS4 or whatever and now my iphone wont even come on. I think I'm stuck in DFU mode and when I plug it into my computer it says this phone must be restored to be recognized. I restore it and then some error message comes up and the phone will not restore. Then I tried downloading an earlier firmware and the same thing happens. What the heck do i do to get my freaking phone to work?

What happens when you connect it to your computer and try to use iTunes to restore it?

Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

A couple questions first
(1) What version of iTunes or Quicktime were you installing over?
(2) If you go to C:\Program Files\Quicktime and right click on qttask.exe. Go to the version tab. What version does it say that it is?
(3) Go to Windows Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Quicktime. And tell me what version of Quicktime it says there.
(4) Did the installer ask you to reboot and you didn't?
The fix for this is to uninstall Quicktime and rerun the iTunes installer. Instructions for that is here:
Troubleshooting iTunes and iPod Software installation on Windows

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.

TS1399 My ipod will not booot up, it continues to blink the apple logo, and i dont know what to do. Also i have a second ipod touch 4th generation and it is llocked and needs to be connected to itunes, but wont even be reconized, i no longer have the orig

My ipod touch wont boot up it shows the apple logo and then blinks on and off.
My second ipod touch wont connect to itunes/be recononized it is totally locked.. i looked at videos on the internet, and they say connect it to the FIRST computer that it was connected to,, the only thing is i no longer have that computer... so what do i do

For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

App store and itunes suddenly wont even try to install anything?

I went to download a song and after using touch ID to input my password, the round downloading sign just changed back to "buy" with no error message or warning. I then tried the app store, this time it did not ask for my password, presumably because i had just used it, but the same occurred. I then restarted the phone, which is an iPhone 5S running IOS 7.1.2, to no avail. I then tried to install something on my ipad 2 which worked completely fine. Can anyone advise me on what to do? restoring the iPhone is really not an ideal option as my iCloud is full so i will lose a lot of things that are not backed up.

Reset the Device:
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
You said that you have done this already. Try again, but this time while the appstore is open and in the foreground.
I hope this helps.

Hi Gammer576775!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPod touch:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

What does iTunes error code (-45054) mean? iTunes quits itself when you click on "OK"

iTunes error code (-45054) comes up when trying to download a M4b file to our computer to synch with an Ipad. We get this error code when we try to open this audiofile in iTunes and when we click on the OK button on the error code box, iTunes quits itself. Won't open without the error box showing: "An unknown error occurred (-45054)" and quits itself when you click on OK to close the error message box. Uninstall? How? Any ideas or suggestions?

Still have the same issue ? I have it too ! Trying to re install iTunes but the issue is always the same ! ??

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

Hi!
It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
To get your phone into DFU mode:
Plug your phone into your laptop.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
Now your restore should work!
If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work!

ITUNES WONT OPEN COMES UP WITH ERROR MESSAGE (send error report one)

some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
