ITunes.exe has disappeared from my computer

iTunes has been working spendidly for quite some time, but went in today and my shortcut doesn't work to open it.  I used Windows Explorer to find it, and while my library and other peripherals are there, the actual application has disappeared.  Does this have anything to do with QuickTime updates, which I installed earlier today?  What now?  I don't want to lose all my music!

Download iTunes again from Apple.com and install it. (your Library should be there again).

  • My itunes has disappeared from my computer

    my itunes has disappeared from my computer, ive checked the location where the program is stored and its gone. i tried to re-install itunes but it will not open. ive checked my firewall, and have restarted the computer a few times and still no luck. any ideas? thanks

    It is also possible that iTunes is already running, but something is messed up (and it won't let you run it twice). Open up the Task Manager (cntrl-alt-del) and see if the iTunes process is listed. If it is, right click it and kill it. Then try to lauch iTunes again.
    Or - you could reboot.

  • PLEASE HELP!  itunes has disappeared from my computer - don't know why

    PLEASE HELP!! iTunes has disappeared from my computer. Have no idea what happened. Won't let me download new itunes.

    You can probably fix it by running chkdsk, as explained in this other thread. It makes sense, if you didn't remove itunes yourself and it can't be reinstalled/repaired, something went seriously wrong on the PC's hard drive. Perhaps the chkdsk utility can fix it.

  • HT203175 My own group of selected playlists has disappeared from my computer screen

    My own group of selected playlists has disappeared from my computer screen. Therefore I cannot add tunes to them and am scared to synchronise the ipod in case they disappear from there.  Can anyone help a computer illiterate.

    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.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries 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.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    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!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone?  Help!

    My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone and also my app store icon.  How do I get them back?  I have reset the home page 4 times and they do not come back.

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen, then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?

  • One of the native mac os x fonts has disappeared from my computer

    I have searched multiple word processing programs on my imac and the font Bell Gothic Std has disappeared from the font book and the computer.
    I've tried re-installing mac-os x, while holding down the 'c' key so not to lose data but this did not successfully bring back the font.
    Does anyone know what may have happened or how I might fix the problem?
    Thank you so much.

    how I might fix the problem?
    That one doesn't come with OS X (or iLife or iWork), so you will need to figure out where you got it before (Office? Adobe apps? ) and try to get it again.

  • My itunes icon has disappeared from my dock on my MAC.

    My itunes icon has diusappeared from the dock on my MAC.

    It's fairly easy to accidentally pull an icon out, but you can just as easily put any icon you like back into the dock. In the Finder, go to Applications. There, find iTunes, and drag its icon into the Dock.

  • My entire iTunes library has disappeared from my Itunes (except for 5 songs i purchased yesterday from iStore.  Had about 300 songs!!  Anyone know how this cd happen?  Have Windows Vista.  Computer did recent Windows update. Also recently renewed Trend.

    My entire Library of songs (over 300) has suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Only songs there are 5 I just purchased from iStore yesterday. Has never happened before.  Windows recently installed some updates.  I also recently renewed my Trend anti-virus.  I have no idea where the Library went. Have done a Search of computer and checked Recycle bin....the songs are gone.   WHAT happened?????   Can I get them back from Apple somehow?  Can I restore them from my Ipod?  (I am afraid to plug in the iPod because if it Syncs, am afraid it will also dump all my songs.  What can I do????  

    a) See: How to rename your iPod.
    b & c) If you can still the view hidden files, see this Music from iPod to computer.
    "I see LOTS of files - but they all have funky names like XYZAV.mp3"
    That's normal. When those files are back in iTunes they'll have the correct names.
    Once the files are back to your computer (and only then), you should restore your iPod. It would appear that the hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable.
