Itunes Not Opening........just gettin stupid now!

Hey! im sure theres alot of you as frustrated as me! itunes flashes up for about a second and does not open, tried EVERYTHING! the msconfig, deleting various files, installing standalone quicktime ect. ect. still no joy. im not using norton, (however i am using microsoft spyware and windows security centre) ok so i havent been able to use my ipod for a month or so now and its getting silly, when are apple gonna sort this out?!?! :'( someone help me!

you would have gotten a faster response by posting in installing and upgrading itunes. that forum is where we are discussing downloading issues, many problems already addressed, such as yours.
perhaps you should go to that side and read thru what users have found to work for them and post your questions there. also, i need much more info than it just wont open.

ITunes not opening, just error report...

Everytime I try opening iTunes, it doesn't come up, but an error does. It says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienence."
I've tried all the help from the Apple support page - yet nothing works. This is really bugging me because I can't put music on it, and I can't even use Windows Media Player to sync, because even when my iPod is connected; it still comes up saying it's not connected, so I have absolute no way of putting music onto it.
Does anybody know what I can do?..

"A Fix For iTUNES Not Opening"

Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the simple fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. I’m using ZoneAlarm Suite Edition, but it also works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.

Just A Correction. In The Line ....The first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again)...
Instead of "Click Yes" its supposed to be "Click Allow".

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?

All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps.

Created a user account for my daughter but itunes will not open, just says something about digital signature policy

Hi there, newbie here. Wondered if anyone can help, opened another user account for daughter on windows 64, and when we tried to open itunes a message came up saying it could not open because of digital signature policy, when i go back to my user it opens ok.
Could anyone help.
Cheers

am not prepared to enter my credit card also on her account application.
You can enter it on the registration page then delete it immediately after you complete the registration.
If I purchase a iTunes card with some credit, can I open the account for her just with the code?
If you wish. Instead of going to Create new accout, go to Redeem on the main iTunes store screen, enter the code, then select *Create new account*.
What will happen if the credit on the card gets to zero?
She will not be able to make a purchase until another gift card is entered or a CC is linked to the account.

Had elements 8 for 3 years no problem, now will not open, just disappears

I havae had elements 8 for 3 years +, but now will not open in edit - will open organise. I have tried lots of different things, but nothing works

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Windows 8.1 Computer not recognizing iPhone 5 and iTunes not opening

So i've been having these issues persist since I updated to iOS7 in September. Computer is a MSI GT60 2OD-026US running windows 8, now 8.1.
How this all started in September:
1. Download iTunes and it sees iPhone, update to iOS7
2. Everything is all good until it tries to connect to iTunes after extracting the old software, the computer doesn't acknoledge the phone is connected.
3. Try all usb ports, no luck
4. update usb drivers, already updated, no help
5. reinstall itunes, no luck
6. itunes starts to not open, its running in the task manager but no window shows up, even after ending the task and relaunching
7. uninstall itunes and reinstall on the OS drive, now it works, but still wont see iphone.
8. temporary fix found, iphone successfully restores on a different computer and all is good for a while
Second problem:
1. try to sync new CD onto iPhone, when suddenly I have over have my phone filled with "other" data
2. restore to clear "other" data
3. computer again wont recognize it after extracting the software
4. again use temporary fix of going to another computer
Today:
1. got a lot of new non itunes music, going to sync it
2. uh oh, I have duplicate songs on it and lots of the album artwork is wrong
3. woah, suddenly I have 5 gb of "other" data, lets restart for a clean slate
4. and like clockwork my computer doesn't recognize it after software extraction, get 4005 error message
5. reinstall itunes and itunes refuses to open because I moved it back to my 1TB drive instead of my 128GB SSD OS drive because it was getting rather full.
5. iTunes again will not open, even in safe mode but again shows up in the taskbar
I've looked at many threads similar to this and no solution has worked.
Have any ideas? or should I just bring my computer into the apple store?

I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

Itunes not opening on windows 8

Recently i just bought the Ipodtouch 4g like today and to have it work i have to connect it into itunes. I have itunes already installed into my laptop and has worked properly before, but it has choosen today to just not choose to open. There is no error message, just a few miliseconds of it loading and just completely not opening. I went over to the program to install it, clicked repair because it seemed about right to do so and after wait a good amount of time and finally clicking finish it still didn't work.
After deciding that the itunes i have installed didn't work i went to the apple store to download it again. After another good amount of time the new itunes program (which looks slightly different then the one i had before with a silver plating) finished downloading. I agreed to the terms and conditions and waited, it still didn't load up and acts the same way as the old one. I need some help with this cause i didn't buy my new ipod touch just to look at it

There is no error message, just a few miliseconds of it loading and just completely not opening.
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)?
