Itunes.exe won't run it stalls after 3 seconds

Hello -
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to install itunes on my laptop. I bought a nano on Saturday. I have tried downloading the software and running it from the disc. I have tried everything on the ipod site. Any suggestions???
Thanks!

ITunes.exe Corrupt File run the Chkdsk utility

When I connect my nano it doesn't add any songs and a warning comes up from my tray that says"iTunes:iTunes.exe Corrupt File run the Chkdsk utility." I typed Chkdsk into run and ran it. Nothing changed. Also when I connect my nano it says "Attempt to write to iPod failed. The disk cannot be read from or written to." Can anyone help me with this problem?

ITunes won't run at all after updating 10.5

I have recently updated iTunes to 10.5, and now it won't run/open at all. Gives me an error and doesn't even open it at all. I have tried everything apple says to do but nothing has worked so far. Please help me, I really want my iTunes running again! If you need more information/details, please ask. I'd be happy to help you if you're going to help me. :-)

Anyone? Please?

ITunes 7 won't run after reinstalled XP MediaCenter & reinstall iTunes7

We made backup copies of the iTunes folder on an external HD, then reinstalled WinXp MediaCenter (not full clean install) and moved iTunes files back from the external HD, then reinstalled new iTunes 7; however, it won't run now. When we click on the icon, it just says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience. If you are in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us." We've tried reinstalling iTunes many times. We've turned Antivirus & Wndows firewall off and on when installing, but no difference.
Anyone got any suggestions because my wife and 2 teenagers are lost without their iTunes and iPods.
Thanks,

Someone in a different forum said to be sure that iTunes is installed under the primary user with Administrator Privileges. I'm pretty sure I did that, but I'll try it again to see what happens.

Tried EVERYTHING, iTunes still won't run

Hi all,
I apologize for the length of this post, but i'm at the end of my rope and want to be as specific as possible, for hope that someone out there can help. I will give you my firstborn child and a massage if you can fix this. Here's the situation:
I've been using iTunes for about 5-6 years now, with no real problems at all.
One day last week (I was running 8.2.1, which had been working fine), I tried to open iTunes, and got the message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." Tried to open it again, same error message.
Bypassed the desktop shortcut and tried to open iTunes directly from the Program Files... same error message.
Rebooted, same error message.
Uninstalled-reinstalled Quicktime, same error message.
Uninstalled-reinstalled iTunes+Quicktime, same error message.
Then I did a couple of hours of research on multiple forums, including this site, but learned nothing helpful. No matter what I did the error message still came up.
Uninstalled-reinstalled iTunes+Quicktime separately, with Norton turned off, same error message.
Uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Apple mobile device support, Apple Software Update, reinstalled everything...same error message.
Went to the Event Viewer in Computer Management (right-click My Computer>Manage), searched for errors or warnings about iTunes, iPod, or Apple.... nothing.
Finally, tonight, performed a COMPLETE PURGE of iTunes from my computer- uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, and Bonjour with the aid of Windows Install Clean-Up. Used Registry Crawler and deleted ALL entries containing "apple" and "itunes" from the registry. Used the XP search function with the little dog picture and deleted ALL "apple" and "iTunes" files (after backing up my music files). Then, confident there was NOTHING iTunes-related left, I went to the iTunes site and installed it.
After installation I opened up Task Manager to watch the Processes tab, and when I clicked "Finish" (with "Launch iTunes after installation" checked), iTunes.exe appeared in the Processes tab for a few seconds, then vanished. As usual. Tried to open it normally, and again... the dreaded error message popped up.
This is ridiculous. I work as an IT technician-I fix things like this for a living, and I cannot for the life of me figure this out! If anyone can help or has input, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Robert

Katrina-
iTunes WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was honestly wondering if I would ever be able to say that. Thank you incalcuably much. You need to let me know where to ship my firstborn child to. Here is what I did:
As much research as I had done, I hadn't really grasped that iTunes requires Quicktime to be rock-solid in order to work. Thank you for enlightening me. I searched and found a thread by polydorus that had a link on how to remove Quicktime-
Uninstall with add/remove programs (wouldn't let me- fatal error during installation came up no matter what I tried). I decided to proceed anyway. Rebooted, then deleted the quicktime folder from program files, then deleted the quicktime and quicktimeVR files from system32 folder. Then rebooted again and installed Quicktime standalone. When I double clicked the quicktime icon my jaw DROPPED when it actually opened. So with fingers crossed, I installed iTunes and LO AND BEHOLD, IT LIVES!!
If it helps anyone now or in the future, here's the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9901375&#9901375
Thanks again so much Katrina. Now I have another, much less important question. My beloved custom equalizer presets are long gone. I figured this would happen when I started this quest about two weeks ago. When I said I had deleted ALL iTunes files from my computer awhile ago, I lied for the sake of clarity- I had backed up my entire My Music>iTunes folder on a flash drive, plus copied the entire thing into a place on the hard drive where I knew iTunes wouldn't find it and possibly get confused during installation or something. Are those EQ presets by chance stored in this folder? And is there a way to back them up in the future?
Four-hundred UPS truckloads of "Thanks!"

ITunes 8 won't run on my laptop (running Vista Home Premium)

Help. Upgraded to iTunes 8 two days ago and it doesn't work. I get a message that says iTunes help module has stopped working and then a message that iTunes has experienced an error and must close (after the interim message that Windows is looking for a solution). I've tried reinstalling iTunes 8 twice with same result. It won't run and now I can't even get an older version of iTunes to install (because it says I have a "later" version already on the computer). What gives? It's very frustrating and right now I don't have a working version of iTunes! Apple folks - can you help?

Oracle 9.2 setup.exe won't run on P3 with Win2K SP3

Hi, everyone:
We had difficulty in installing Oracle 9.2 onto our Dell P3 Latitude C800 laptop running Win2K Professional with SP3. As many of you already reported, after double clicking "setup.exe", it won't run and nothing happened. We tried to run "autorun.exe" but that didn't work either. We also changed the system Temp/Tmp environment variables but no help either. Since our laptop is P3, not P4, not sure whether changing the symcjit.dll name would help.
This seems to be a Java issue but not sure exactly what caused the problem. We had TrendMicro's OfficeScan AV s/w installed. Is that the problem? What other commonly used s/w are Java based and may cause conflict with Oracle installer? We only have MS Office, VisualBasic, UltraEdit, Acrobat, WinZip, and GetRight installed on the laptop.
Are there any other suggestions for us to try? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Jason

disable getright and try again

Hello crystal_qing
Check out the article below for general troubleshooting when you are having issues installing iTunes on your PC. You may need to remove content from the Temp folder and even remove iTunes and its related software and then reinstall iTunes.

Itunes installer won't run in Windows 7

I am trying to install the latest version of itunes on my new laptop and the installer won't run. It is a samsung sereis 7 notebook running Windows 7.
I have downloaded itunes multiple times and tried running as administrator. I do not get any error, and occasionally a progress bar will flash up on screen for a couple of seconds but then nothing happens. Other times I don't even get the progress bar, just nothing happens when I try to open the installer.
Would appreciate any help with this problem. Its driving me crazy not being able to add new music to my ipod!

11.7.700.169 exe won't run

I'm trying to install 11.7.700.169 on 64-bit Windows 7. I've tried via Chrome, IE and Firefox. Each time I download and open the exe file, but when I click "run" nothing happens. I know in Chrome there is that Technote about it already being part of the browser and that it just needs to be enabled.... when I go to enable the plug in, it says I need to download a critical security update. When I follow the link to download, I have the same problem where the file won't run. It's not that I'm not waiting long enough because I've waited a long time to see if it will start to run and it just doesn't! Any thoughts?

Download the offline installers for IE and Firefox from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).
I don't know about Chrome, as I don't use that browser.

ITunes still won't recognize my iPhone after I've followed every step

I purchased an iPhone4 off of a friend, he had completely restored it back to its factory settings before he sold it to me.
When I connected it to my iTunes it had asked to update it, so I did to 6.1.3. Now Every time I plug it into my computer it asks me to restore it, I click restore and it says it's updating, takes 4 hours then says there was an error. I've googled this and gone through all the steps and nothing is working. My iTunes still won't recognize my iPhone.
I had tried it on my brothers iTunes and it says "pairing record missing"
I also looked that up, followed all the different steps and nothing helped.
I've tried updating my iTunes, every time I try it crashes and says it "failed to install". nothing at all is working and I'm getting very frustrated and losing my faith in apple...
If anyone has any other idea, or advice, PLEASE let me know. it would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you
btw: I've tried the unplugging, rebooting, bluetoothing, everything I saw in the other forums and nothing helped.

why would your be frustrated and losing your faith with Apple? Sounds like your friend sold you a jailbroken phone.

Itunes Match won't stream certain tracks after IOS 6.1 update

OK...so...I updated to IOS 6.1 and now itunes match won't stream ANYTHING over 45 minutes long if it's over a 3G connection and not wireless. Being that itunes match is primarily for use outside of the house i'm wondering; how can this be useful to anyone? I have a lot of shows on my itunes that are three hours long but now (due to the update) i can't listen to any of them...unless i'm in the house...which is not why i bought itunes match. Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?

I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me. This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

ITunes + Quicktime won't run after install

I did an automatic upgrade to ITunes verson 8 from 7. After the upgrade, neither iTunes nor Quicktime would work. I then proceeded to do a complete uninstall of both items, to include deleting all directories and cleaning the registery so I could complete a fresh install of both items. After the fresh install, iTunes would work IF (and only if) it was started by the installation script. If I try to start iTunes after the installation, windows pops a window that says "Please wait while Windows configues iTunes," after which it prompts to restart the PC. This happens EVERY time. That is, iTunes will run ONE TIME correctly when it's started by the installation process at the conclusion of a fresh install, but it will not run again. Each time I get the windows message.
Quicktime will not run at all. It gives the error message "Error 41: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control." However, I can open the Quicktime preferences from the Control Panel.
I get no errors or any indications that the installation process had problems or that the items did not install correctly.
I'm running 32-bit Vista with SP1.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Bump to top.

Hi kreuger,
This article might be of some help with that VBScript error message:
