ITunes no longer opens on Windows 7

I updated to the newest version of iTunes a few days ago, and ever since then I haven't been able to open the application. When I double click on the application, iTunes appears in my Task Manager, but no windows open and no icon appears on my Taskbar. I checked for software updates using the Apple Software Update, and I also uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, as well as Quicktime. Nothing seems to help.

There is no message. The windows hour glass starts to revolve and then nothing.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

Itunes No Longer Opens On Windows PC

For many days Itunes has not opened. Nothing happens, no error messages come up or anything, it just doesn't do anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, even tried an older version of it and nothing has worked. I tried to run it in safemode and it still didn't work. Everything else on my computer works fine, only Itunes wont work. I have emailed customer support many times and they wont help or give me any hints of what to do.

ITunes no longer opens automatically

iTunes no longer opens automatically when I connect any of my devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPod Nano 5th Gen) to my 64-Bit Windows 7 PC.
In each case the option to open iTunes when the device is connected has been checked in the iTunes Device Summary. However, I iTunes will only open manually. Admittedly, this is not a big deal, but it makes me wonder why iTunes has stopped responding properly.

First, try reinstalling the latest version of iTunes. If that doesn't work, try restarting AMDS:

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

ITunes no longer opening since upgrade

I installed the newest 7.1.1 version of iTunes (and also had to upgrade quicktime to 7.1.5). iTunes no longer opens and none of the possible fixes I've seen in the discussion boards has worked. Please let me know if anyone cracks the case. I am on OSX 10.3.9.
Thanks

Hmm if click the Apple >> system preferences >> users and groups >> login items, do you have itunes helper listed?
You can also try this:
Open in Image Capture in /Applications with your iphone connected. In the lower left, you'll see "connecting this iphone opens with" (if you don't see it, click the triangle/box icon to show it). Click the menu >> select "Other" and navigate to itunes and choose that. Quit Image Capture.

TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

Howdy rtih,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Suddenly I can open only one Firefox window at a time. I can have multiple tabs in that window, but I can suddenly no longer open another window. What happened?

Suddenly I can open only one Firefox window at a time. I can have multiple tabs in that window, but I can suddenly no longer open another window. What happened?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Upgraded to 7.6 iTunes, no longer opens.

Upgraded to 7.6 itunes. It no longer opens, although iTunes.exe is in the Task Manager. It also made me upgrade my iPod software so now it will no longer let me use any old/previous versions of iTunes.
I've tried formatting my computer (emptying it completely)
uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Deleting all my Norton software (they make it so difficult to turn the firewall off so i didn't bother stuffing around with them)
and even turning off the Windows Firewall..
Im out of ideas and this issue is popular but still hasnt been solved!

Here's a few things that may help:
iTunes for Windows in Windows XP or Windows 2000 doesn't open after upgrading
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
iTunes for Windows won't open if firewall software is not up-to-date

iTunes for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened

If those do not help, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:
