ITunes for windows 8 won't automatically open.

Whenever I plug in any apple device it will charge and windows will recognize it, but it won't open iTunes automatically or even show up in iTunes. How do I fix this?

Hi gil
Problem with your PC or Apple device?
If problem with your PC try this
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the file named QTMovieWin.dll.
Then browse and paste that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
It works for PC
Please email me for your feedback

My iTunes for windows no longer automatically syncs my iPhone when started

I used to be able to do a daily backup of my iPhone by simply plugging into my computer. iTunes would automatically start and do the sync. That suddenly stopped under version 10.6.0.40. The iPhone is recognized and I can manually sync it, just not automatically. This is iTunes for windows. Any suggestions?

Did you check if Apple Mobile Device Service is installed? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

Itunes for windows won't read or burn to my cd player

I am having a weird problem. I had an HP Lightscribe cd burner installed on my system and when i put a cd into the computer, itunes will read it and show me the name of the cd and all the tracks, but when trying to play, import, or burn to this drive, itunes will go down the list of tracks one after another for about a half second each and wont do anything. I have an external cd burner as well with a lite-on cd burner, and when i plug this in everything works as it should with no problems.
for the past 2 years, i have pulled out my external cd burner everytime i wanted to add new music or burn a cd from itunes, but i no longer have the external drive, and so i purchased a new lite-on cd burner thinking the issue was compatibility with the lightscribe drive. unfortunately now that the new drive is installed, i still have the exact same problem and it is frustrating me to no end. i have submitted help emails to apple, but to no response. i have reprogrammed my computer and reinstalled itunes numerous times. I have the most current version of all drivers and the latest version of itunes. my windows is completely up to date. the drive itself will import fine through media player, and burnes fine through nero. the only information i can get from the cd diagnostics is below, but it contradicts itself by saying i am logged in as administrator, and then later says to burn or import from this drive u must be logged in as administrator and gives error 1450.

Can anyone please help me out with this issue?? it is driving me crazy!! My life would be so much easier if i could burn and rip from itunes instead of having to use media player or nero.

I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

Itunes for windows won't open

clicking on the itunes icon does nothing, nor trying from the program list. I removed itunes & reinstalled it (downloading from apple), tried the repair option, tried downloading to a different drive, but nothing. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the latest windows update, as yahoo messenger doesn't work since then either.
any suggestions?

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good
antispyware checker and give it a go at your system.
Some recent spyware has been reported by other users
to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching.
From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at
catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido
here.
I tried ewido and it found a lot of adware, but I'm afraid itunes and yahoo messenger still won't work. thanks for the suggestion, though.

My iTunes for windows won't open no matter how many times I re-install it. Please help how to fix this!

And there was once when i tried to re-install again. There was this window said all my purchased apps will be erased and I have to repurchase them in the future. What is going on here?

Linc Davis has indicated how to Force Quit out of any application that is frozen.
For your Mail issue, try the following:
- Go to Software Update to apply the new update for Mail. Not sure, but there may be bug fixes in the new version.
- Go to Disk Utility (In Applications, Utilities) and run a Permissions Repair. Then do a restart of your computer.

TS3074 iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes in Windows 8

I have Windows 8 (64bit). I have uninstalled iTunes and re-installed iTunes several times as it has constantly instructed me to do. It says that iTunes has been sucessfully installed; however, when I try to open iTunes, I keep getting the message "iTunes for Windows: Error 7 (windows error 127)".

Here is what it said....But every time I reinstall iTunes it says it was successful. I'm using Windows 8 (64 bit).

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

ITunes for Windows will not open, says im not authorized.

Every time I try to open iTunes it keeps giving me the error message, the folder itunes is on a locked disc or you do not have write permissions for this folder. everything worked fine until I was playing around with sharing for my network and I think I messed it up. Someone please help me. I have uninstalled itunes two times and reinstalled it with no luck. Please help me.

I've tried updating iTunes for Windows but it won't work. I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version (10.6.1.7) but it won't load. It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

ITunes for Windows 7!

I just upgraded the iTunes in my computer and now it won't open at all. It tells me that iTunes was not installed correctly. Reinstall iTunes error 7 (Windows error 126). It also says "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". I uninstalled it and reinstalled iTunes and still the problem persists.
PLEASE I NEED HELP!! CAN'T DO WITHOUT ITUNES!!!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
