My system is only 2 years old running windows xp and has the appropriate specifications, have turned off pop up blockers etc etc and still won't run. It says that quicktime and itunes has been successfully installed on my computer and quicktime will run when i click on the icon but when I go to click on itunes icon it does nothing not even an error message. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes for Windows: Error -9812 when accessing the iTunes Store

    So here is the situation. When I try to access our iTunes U site from the public link it works great, when I go thru the link that has me authenticicate it works on macs but on PC's I get the error message "iTunes for Windows: Error -9812 when accessing the iTunes Store" it's happening all thru our campus with PC users. Any ideas?????

    We're having similar connection issues, and the error log on our web server says something about a certificate error. I noted that last year on this date there were messages related to certificates. Is it possible they are updated every Dec 2, and we should count on some down time?

  • Text in iPod section of iTunes for windows not totally showing up???

    When my iPod/iPhone is connected and I browse different sections of iPod/iPhone are in iTunes for Windows, there are several lines of text instructions. Some of which don't display the entire sentence. This seems very odd since there is plenty of blank screen real estate available.
    For example:
    In the Summary Section (with iPod/iPhone connected), I see 2 lines of text under Version and 4 lines of text under Summary. None of the sentences can be seen complete.
    In the Music section, under Sync, I see 1st line reading "Include music videos" but on the next line I only see "Include voice m..." and the following line I see "Automatically fill free space with songs". So why did the shorter sentence not display complete?
    Very odd.

    Mine is a brand new machine. Burning software was installed before iTunes was installed. I am looking at this article which points to a possible problem with the GEAR drivers: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    It also points to the afs.sys and afs2k.sys drivers as a potential problem. I've verified that I don't have these drivers on my machine.
    When I go to the GEAR site, it tells you to manually uninstall the GEAR drivers and install the latest ones. First, manual uninstall which involves editing the registry. Really? While I'm quite the expert at registry editing, NO CONSUMER should ever be told to edit the registry to delete anything. Second, if in fact the GEAR drivers are the problem, shouldn't iTunes install the right ones? This is a prime example of poor software engineering at its core.

  • The Audio Service is not running when I open certain programs

    My audio works fine when I boot my computer.  However, any time I got to click on the speaker icon at the bottom right the audio service stops running.  When I use the system.msc fix that is very common on the web by the time I open the panel the
    audio has already realized that it is running and starts running again.  If I open razer comms, it stop working again and I either can open system.msc to fix it, or I can just click the speaker icon to fix it.  When I open a game, like FFXIV it stop
    working again, click the speaker and all the sudden it turns back on.  
    I have read every thread I can find on the web about the "Audio is not running" issue but no one seems to have had this exact problem and I don't know how to fix it.
    For the love of god help
     

    Hi,
    By saying the audio service us not working, do you mean the speaker icon show an red "X" ?
    Please take a check with the following KB article:
    In Windows 7 a red 'X' may appear over the speaker icon in the notification area even though audio output functions correctly
    If this is the issue, then this behavior is cosmetic in nature and does not affect the performance of Windows.

  • The iTunes store does not load when I open it

    So I recently had to install the latest version of iTunes after I upgraded to the newest version of iOS on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) because the older iTunes version wasn't compatable with the newest iOS version. I had been using a much older version of iTunes becuase every time I would update the iTunes store without fail would stop working. I spent almost an entire day trying to fix it like 6-8 months ago and I finally got it to work with one of the older versions, which was why I was mad that I had to update it again.
    Anyways, the iTunes store will not load at all. Everytime I open up iTunes on my computer (I have Windows Vista) and I try to go to the iTunes store, it never loads. It keeps saying "Accessing iTunes Store" (see image). I have tried to wait it out, but nothing ever changes.
    I have already tried reinstalling iTunes and tried reinstalling the newest version, neither of which helped. I also tried what they suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 but the only item that came up under the Winsock Providers tab was the Apple one.
    Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

    That's exactly like saying, "Hey, try this.  It didn't work either.  Good luck!"
    It's the high-percentage play with the particular symptom set being reported. High-percentage implies that it doesn't work for some people. (Otherwise it'd be a 100% play.) So, it still makes sense for people to try it, even if it doesn't work for some people, because it does work for most people. Check other posts by wiclee using that set of instructions to get a better feel for the reliability of the advice in these circumstances. (Granted, that's a bit tricky given that only about 10-20 percent of people report back to say whether or not any advice (on any given topic) actually works.)

  • My itunes library does not appear when I open iMovie

    When I have iMovie open and want to add a song from my iTunes library, my iTunes library does not populate.

    the reference to the Apple memo did not work for me. I am not sure whether my identical problem was preceded by the Apple upgrade of iTunes, OR the back-up I did two days ago to an external drive.
    In any event, the instructions did not match my hard drive configuration, so I just decided to restore iTunes via Time Machine. Now I have my library back!

  • Itunes for windows version 8 won't open itunes store

    I posted this under a related post as well - My itunes works on my windows pc, but not the store - First message said not enough memory, then yesterday, I downloaded itunes 8 for windows, then it still didn't connect to store, then I checked for all new updates and installed service pack 3, and firewall is off, and made sure I could get a connection to yahoo and I did. Also flushed the dns server. no pop up blockers on, to the best of my knowledge.
    One of these discussions says to reset keychain and rename hosts, but I'd like to know if anyone knows anything else to suggest. I will have a more experienced person help me with those things. Apple wrote back to me and sent me to the discussion page as well.

    Some one recently posted this as a possible solution, I am afraid I don't have the link.
    Go to your Internet Options either in IE or Control Panel, click on the content tab. Then Clear SSL state.
    Let me know if it works.
    P.S. this is specifically for the not enough memory error.
    Failure to connect after an up grade is usually due to firewall blocking - especially if you have Norton.

  • Itunes for windows not opening at all

  • Idownload version 5 for window xp 2001.when i open it, it always shon, offline mesage. why do not open the page

    i am using Firefox version 3.6.10

    Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
    There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
    By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4.o and newer prevents this behaviour by default. To prevent this behaviour in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
    * Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    * Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

  • My iTunes keeps freezing/not responding when I open the program?

    I am trying to restore my mum's iPod nano after it just died and won't work- but everytime I open iTunes it crashes! It works for about 1 minute of use before it stops responding and I have to end task, but then when I try and re-open the program it doesn't open unless I plug my own iPod in!
    Someone help me try and fix this- mum wants her iPod back and I want my iTunes working again!
    My computer operating system is Windows 7
    iTunes is the latest update (I think). Any solutions?

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

  • ITunes for Windows (64bit) Runs as 32bit!

    I have Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, and when I install iTunes (labeled on the download site as 64 bit), it runs as a 32 bit program!  I've tried both running the setup directly from download, and downloading the file then running setup.  I have other 64 bit apps running fine - what gives????

    There is a 64-bit installer for 64-bit Windows. The core application is still 32-bit. This is not uncommon.

  • Can't download Itunes for Windows (NOT 64 bit)

    there is no itunes i can download that will work with NON-64 bit windows. I clicked on both version 11 and 10.7 and the download is 64 bit! where is the correct software?

    +Could not open key:+
    HKeyLocalmachine/software/mozillaplugins/@Apple.com/itunes
    That's an unusual key to be getting an error on.
    Does your XP user account have administrative rights? If, so let's have a look at the permissions on that key.
    Go "Start > Run", type regedit and hit enter.
    Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE
    Expand SOFTWARE
    Expand MozillaPlugins
    Right-click on the @apple.com/folder and select "Permissions".
    Select your User Account name in the list.
    Is there a check in the box under "Allow" next to "Full Control"?

  • ITunes for windows not starting

    When I try to start iTunes from anywhere on my computer, be it desktop, applications list, or from the run option, I can't get it to work. The shortcut on the desktop flashes to a blank page icon and then nothing happens. Nothing seems to be loading or opening, and I've tried to redownload iTunes and tried every mode of opening it I know, but it still won't open. Help or tips would be appreciated.
