For the past couple of days itunes hasn't been opening for some reason. i recently burned a few movies to my computer and thats it. Only about 2 GB left, but this never happened before. Help please?

If your iTunes is giving you an "itunes has encountered a problem" on launch, your QuickTime isn't launching, and QuickTime is also not showing up in your Add/Remove programs, try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?

"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".

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. NO ERROR MESSAGE

I cannot get iTunes to open. When I double click on it, the "hour glass" shows up, and I give it a minute or more, but the program does not open? I have the updated verision, but cannot get it to open. No error message when I try to open it...no program...nothing. Nothing at all.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you

I'm having a similar problem. When I open Itunes I'm asked for my password but it doesn't allow me to enter my password or do anything else at all! When I then open task manager I find Itunes is not responding.
I have tried closing other programs, restarting the PC, downloading a new version of Itunes and repairing (that didn't work), then uninstalling and then reinstalling (same problem!)
What can I do? I can't sync or anything!

ITunes not opening when device connected

About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone. If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync. I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
How do I set this straight?

Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
Select or deselect: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

ITunes not opening at all with Yosemite

Hi there,
I just updated to Yosemite (macbook Pro), and my iTunes isn't working at all, there's no error messages or anything, it just won't open.
I've tried clicking it from the applications folder, right clicking, as well as connecting my phone, but it's not opening.
Please help me,
(I updated everything on my laptop before I updated to Yosemite as well).
Thank you!

I have the same problem : I just installed Yosemite, but iTunes won't open anymore. Anyone know what the problem is?

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)?

I have the same problem. I had a new hard drive installed and Lion installed. Now when I open iTunes it crashes every time after a few seconds. I read that there are dublicate files in Library/quicktimes which should be deleated. I can't find Library under UTILITIES. Everything changed in Lion. WHERE CAN I FIND THE LIBRARY IN UTILITIES?

ITunes not opening at all

I don't know why, but iTunes will not open at all. When I click on the icon in the dock, it will bounce for a few seconds and then an error message will pop up saying that iTunes quit unexpectedly.
Why is this happening? I restarted several times but I'm still getting the same thing. Please help!

***? Error message and itunes not opening

I just installed iTunes, and it will not open. I get an error message saying:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
What does this mean and why exactly is is popping up? How do I fix the problem so I can open iTunes? I've been surfing the net for about 4 hours trying to find solutions and can't find anything. I'm getting aggravated.
Please help!!
P.S. I've unistalled both iTunes and QuickTime, reinstalled them both first as a combo pack then separately, restarted my computer several times, and made sure everything wasn't a "read only" file. Nothing seems to work.

Itunes not opening - error message that file is locked....

Hi,
itunes message - 'library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.'
I've tried everything i can find online to repair this issue, but itunes wont open still. I saw a message for this exact message in 2006 about moving itune lib to desktop and then back into itunes folder, but that hasn't worked. Please help.

Might fix your problem:
Through Finder navigate to your users directory
Select the folder "Music"
Press CMD-i
An info windows will pop up
Scroll down to the very bottom
If necessary expand "Sharing & Permissions"
Is your username listed with Privilege "Read & Write"?
Tick the little lock at bottom right - enter your PW
If necessary correct your privileges
In any case press the little gearwheel - "Apply to enclosed items ..."
ok
reboot

Actual cause behind iTunes not opening

I’ve figured out what the problem is and why iTunes will not load.
Quicktime issues and error message when opening – “buffer overrun detected”.
This means that the temporary memory (buffer) that Quicktime dumps data into for the CPU to pick up and process is full.
If it is full it cannot be used any further, and Quicktime is unable to function – and because Quicktime is the engine for iTunes, iTunes will not open either.
So I need to know what is causing the buffer for Quicktime to fill up and overrun and remove that cause. I suspect it is either a corruption or malware.
Any ideas?

For those reading this who do not have a QuickTime settings icon visable in their Control Panel window - look to the top left of the Control Panel window and click on Classic View.
The QuickTime icon will be visible.
I did have K-Lite but I installed it as part of WMPod after I had all this palarva, thinking I would then be able to sync via Windows Media Player. Not so, Windows Media Player did not recognise the plug in - did not have it listed in the options windows.
When I double clicked on the QuickTime icon in Control Panel (classic view) I got this message;
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Quicktime.cpl",Quicktime"
I had in fact deleted what I thought were duplicate QT plugins (there were half a dozen in the Programs\Internet Eplorer folder and more in Mozilla).
So I downloaded QuickTime (again) and selected repair once the installation window was up. Double clicked on QuickTime in Control Panel again.
Same message again.

ITunes not opening up after upgrade to 11.4 on Snow Leopard

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded my iTunes version to v11.4 after which it is not opening up?
When clicked, it just bounces in the Dock like any other App and thats it - it never opens up and not even its Menu group is displayed. Any ideas? I'm sure its a known issue but unable to figure out yet and not able to find any related posts too.
I use OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro 5,4 Model.
Thanks,
Sanditude.

I had actually tried all that and ensured its the same App in the Dock. Have also ensured I have the latest Apple updates installed for Snow Leopard.
Can't think of any other problems at the moment. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
