ITunes not opening and not on the program list to uninstall

iTunes will not open at all. I am not getting any error messages. I see iTunes in the program list but clicking on it does absolutely nothing other than an hourglass for a second or 2. Then I was thinking to uninstall and reinstall iTunes but it is not in my uninstall program list at all. Not sure what to do at all. Does anyone know how to fix either of these issues? I am using Windows 7.

clucas,
Does iTunes.exe and/or iTunesHelper.exe show up in the Task Manager?

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Your library should be fine, but you ought to back it up regularly.

Thanks BDAqua, now I just need to get Itunes straightened out on my Macbook. I downloaded latest version and it crashes upon start.

A second browser window will not open and then closing the 1st window firefox will restart. Taskmgr shows it still running, it will not restart until I end the process in taskmgr.

I open the browser and close it every thing is fine. I open the browser and then attempt to open a second browser window, it will not open. Now because I've attempted to open a second browser window firefox will not restart after closing the open window. Until I've shut it down in the taskmgr. This just started the other day and I have removed the only update I made that was "flash" and I removed the 64 bit version of firefox.

Win 7 with iTunes installed - I was also having problems with that.
"netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt resolved all issues and Firefox launched normally.
Check to see if Winsock is corrupted. May prevent FF from communicating with the web and consequently fails to launch properly - for my situation was not a firewall or antivirus block!

Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.
Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh winsock reset
Then, you should see the following message:
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
Restart the computer.
Note If you receive an “Access Denied” error message instead of the message that is mentioned in step 3, the command prompt was not correctly elevated. In this case, close the Command Prompt window, and repeat steps 1 through 3. Make sure that you correctly implement step 2.

After long term excellent performance iPhoto 09 now sits under the bottom of my screen and will not open and interact in the usual way ... Whats up?

When I hold my mouse on the icon the iPhoto 09 program opens on the desktop, but does not permit the usual interaction...when I try to click on the program it disappears again at the bottom of my screen. Please help, Thanks in advance, Charles

Sorry but I don't really follow your description of the issue. Some basic fixes:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that doesn't work:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have downloaded the newest iTunes software on my Windows 64 bit computer so I can update my iPhone 4 to OS5. When I open iTunes it opens and then crashes. I have completely uninstalled iTunes twice and reloaded it twice and still doesn't work.

I down loaded the newest iTunes software to update my iPhone 4 and when I open it, it crashes. I have completely uninstalled it twice and reinstalled it again and still it doesn't work. Please help.

- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:

Ibook will not open and not in library - button says "read" but it's not responsive

I purchased a book and maybe I put in the wrong password, but it does say "read." However, it won't open and nothing responds. It is not on my book shelf. Is there any way to re-purchase it? I see no option for that. So frustrating.

Hi nlroundabout,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you've purchased an iBook, but it won't open and you don't see it on your bookshelf. This does sound frustrating. First, try downloading it again using these steps:
Follow these steps to download purchased books:
Tap iBooks. If you're using iBooks 3.2 or earlier, tap Store.
Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
Tap the book that you want to download.
From:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Additionally, make sure that your iPad is updated to the latest iOS version:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

Nothing is happening when itunes is opened and i connect the iphone 4 to it

I just bought the 32g iphone 4 and when i turn off my other phone and connect this new iphone nothing is popping up in my itunes.
Please, please, please someone help me!

Is your computer a laptop computer or a desktop?
Look at the underside if it is a laptop and you should find the make/model. Look at the back if it is a desktop.
Even more basic, is it a Mac (Apple computer) or a PC?
To find the OS if it is a PC, do a restart when it reboots it should say WindowsXP or Windows Vista, or Windows 7. If it is a Mac click on the Apple in the top left hand corner then click on About this Mac. A window will open and you should find the OS version number, like 10.4.11 or 10.5.8.

I just downloaded an old version of iDVD from a disc I purchased from Amazon (iLife '11). I only downloaded the iDVD portion of it. Now my recent version of iPhoto will not open and I get the message that iPhoto may be damaged or incomplete

I just downloaded an old version of iDVD from a disc I purchased from Amazon. I downloaded only the iDVD portion of the disc. Now when I go to open my new version of iPhoto, I get a message that I cannot open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get this resolved?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Hello,
You'd need to ask the vendor of the software.
