ITunes for Win does not run

I installed iTunes 6 for Windows, running XP Pro on a 5 month old Dell laptop. Things were great until iTunes stopped running. No I don't have NIS, I uninstalled and reinstalled many times with the stand-alone Quick Time, etc. Did manual uninstall of iTunes, etc. When I click on the iTunes icon, the disk light goes on for a few seconds, the license screen for iTunes appears for 1 second and then disappears. If I click on the Quic Time icon, the QT screen appears for 1 second and then disappears. Can anyone help?

HI, I just followed this chain of events that you suggest Rob do, because that also fixed my iTunes problem, but what is this aobut adware/trojans?
hi Jeffrey!
many people who are getting "the flash" are reporting that they find weird four- and six-letter-name start-up items when they go into MSCONFIG that do not return any hits when people google on the names. that should not be happening.
haven't had an explicit confirmation of this on one of the XP boxes yet, but we've had a report of someone getting this on a Win 2000 box who fixed it by eliminating a version of the Qoologic adware/trojan on their machine (Dave refers to it as "winsync" in these posts, but that's actually the name of one of the files that Qoologic imitates on a PC):
David Johnson35, "Another installation problem?" #32, 06:25pm Nov 6, 2005 CDT
David Johnson35, "Another installation problem?" #34, 09:03am Nov 7, 2005 CDT
... so a variety of Qoologic is my prime suspect for the cause of the flash. but i'm not 100% certain of that, since other adware/worms/trojans/whatnot also have this nasty habit of dropping randomly-generated-name files into a PC's startup items. here's a resource with a few of them:

(as i get more and more information about what's causing this, i try to publish it.)

  • TS3297 ITunes for IOS does not display any content in the iTunes store

    iTunes for IOS does not display any content in any section (other than Genius tab).

    Long story I was using playonlinux and had space only on the / partition. playonlinux is not very flexible with the install path (~) and I was lazy. I also thought I would avoid permission problems.
    Anyway, I have tried as a user too, I get the same error.

  • Delegated Admin for Messaging does not run properly

    Hi, my environment is:
    iDS5.1, iMS5.2, iCS5.1 and Delegated Admin for Messaging 1.2.
    I have installed all the components and it seems to run fine, but when I log on to the Delegated Admin I cna't see the frame in the middle of the browser window. An error appears that "The page cannot be displayed".

    Why is anybody installing 3-year old software today?
    The error message implies that not all installation steps were done correctly. The most common problem is that when ims_dssetup.pl is run, the entries there are not correct for what you intend to put in during Messaging install...

  • ITunes installs but does not run on Windows 7 64-bit

    I've spent a couple hours going over advice on this forum as well as elsewhere on the Internet to resolve this. iTunes installs without a problem but when we run it, nothing appears. iTunes.exe *32 and iTunesHelper.exe *32 appear in the Windows Task Manager but there is no other evidence that iTunes is running.
    I've tried installing and reinstalling. I've tried a number of different compatibility settings. Surely there must be an easy way to resolve this.
    Frustrated,

    The problem, as it turns out, is Bonjour. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2408851&tstart=0 for ideas on how to fix....

  • Itunes 7.1 does not run. Issue with your audio config detection

    Hi,
    Since I updated to itunes 7.1 the following error message comes up each time I start the program "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" This happened for the first time right after the update and I have tried to downgrade to the previous version (which was working fine) but now this error occurs with previous version too.
    My sound card is a creative sound blaster x-fi and I don't see anything wrong with its configuration.
    The OS is Vista premium
    Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.
    DELL Dimension E520   Other OS   Vista and creative sb x-fi

    the following error message comes up each time I start the program "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    typically that's caused by a broken QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.) see the following document for troubleshooting instructions:

  • ITunes for Windows does not delete podcasts when told to.

    I have 30 podcasts. When I try to delete a selected podcast using either the delete key or right-click menu, I then tell iTunes to "move to recycle bin". However, many times the file remains. I just found >1GB of left over podcasts that did not show up in iTunes but are in the "My Music\iTunes\podcast.." directories.
    is this a known bug or am I missing something?
    Is there anyway to fix this?
    Shane

    In order to delete the podcast, start playing another track first. Sounds like the same bug that affects TV shows. The currently selected show will not go to the recycle bin, though it will disappear from the iTunes library. It's as if iTunes tries to move the file to the RB but Windows says, "No, that file is in use."
    I discovered this bug after my laptop hard drive ran out of room because none of the TiVo2Go shows I'd been watching for weeks had truly been deleted by iTunes when I asked it to. All the files remained on the hard drive.

  • Setup for Firefox does not run, so I can't complete installation

    I deinstalled Firefox because it didn't run properly (ever since the latest update). Now I want to reinstall. Downloaded latest version. The thing extracts a 'setup' but clicking this doesn't prompt anything at all. I simply can't figure out why it won't run. Now I need to use Internet Explorer, which I don't like at all.

    Hi!
    In general this is caused by certain add-ons that block the graphic.
    Please, try to run the set up process in [[Safe Mode]] and let me know if it helps (the link give you details about how to start your browser in Safe Mode).

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

  • Itunes 9.2 (64 bit)  does not run

    All of a sudden my iTunes 9.2 (64 bit) on Windows 7 does not run anymore. Repairing the setup did not help. Removing and re-installing the application helped only 1 time, after that the program again did not run anymore. And during that 1 run it did load my (big) library but could not find any of the songs!
    Using Window's system restore (back 3 days) did not solve the problem either.
    I had been using iTunes 9.2 for a few weeks without a problem. Why doesnt it suddenly not run anymore? What can I do? Thanks for helping!

    No error message at all. No clue either.
    A few times the program DID run - after around 20 mins waiting it suddenly appeared...
    A few other strange things:
    - After double clicking the iTunes icon something DOES start: the task manager shows the iTunes process, sometimes with up to 40-50% of the CPU capacity, sometimes with low memory usage, sometimes higher
    - When trying to uninstall iTunes (completely) with Revo Uninstaller: the program does not appear in the REVOapplication list
    - When trying to uninstall it through Control Panel I can uninstall it.
    - I disabled my iTunes library, to be sure that the trouble has nothing to do with that. Maybe it could be too big (around 40 thousand songs!) or corrupt. But even without a library the startup is not possible - or incidentally taking 20 mins or more.
    - I ran Advanced System Care to fix registry problems and defragmenting the systems files - no change.
    What can be wrong? And more important: what can be done?

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device
