ITunes not running. (iTunes.exe not in processes)

I recently reformatted my hard drive. I reinstalled iTunes, and it ran as expected. This afternoon, it suddenly stopped. Now, after double clicking the shortcut (or going straight to the program file), I just get a quick hourglass. Nothing follows.
I've checked the system processes, and itunes.exe isn't present. For what it's worth, iPodService.exe, AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, and iTunesHelper.exe are all running.
I've uninstalled (via Add/Remove as well as the iTunes installer file) five or six times now. I've also tried manually removing remaining program files and Quicktime system32 dll files. Still no luck.
I have ESET NOD32 running but nothing otherwise. Disabling it changes nothing.
I appreciate you checking this out. Thank you for any efforts.

I've had a really similar issue lately. About a week ago my iTunes stopped opening for me. I'd click on the icon on the start bar, the desktop, etc to no avail. It simply wouldn't open. I wouldn't get an error message or anything, just one of those blue loading circles for a second or two and then nothing. After trying the obvious (restarting my computer), I tried again, with the same results.
I decided I'd simply uninstall iTunes/Quicktime and reinstall them. They uninstalled fine according to Vista, but now when I try to reinstall iTunes I get ones of these messages during installation: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1282/issue.jpg

Itunes.exe process will not end

Hi all!
I love the ITunes interface, but I'm running into problems with the few CD's that ITunes won't import. Once the import "freezes" and won't continue, I try to end ITunes so I can re-open it and start again. The program appears to vanish, but the "itunes.exe" process is still running when I open my task manager/process manager. I am unable to end this process--any ideas on how to do it short of pulling my power cord and restarting?

Did you see this thread? I'm not suggesting it is the same problem, just that such issues may be more complicated.

I don't think there's been an update to Encore CS6. I have it temporarily uninstalled from my laptop, so can't confirm what the CS6 build number is. In any event, what version/build are you running? Do you see the same problem with Premiere?
The original version of this problem showed the same issue with Pr and EN. Others did not report both.

ITunes.exe *32 process does not close

I have to use task manager to close itunes.exe *32 process. Then I have to reboot my machine (Dell XPS 650/Windowa 7 x64). Itunes will sucessfully open. I synced my Ipad 2 and 2 ipods. Used exit to leave itunes desktop 10.5.3 - but the process does not close. Closing it with task manager so an itunes.exe process is not running. Try to execute itunes desktop in regular and safe modes result in "iTunes not responding." Reboot the machine and I get one use of itunes desktop before the whole mess starts over. At least I have a way to sync my devices. But this has been happening ever since the release that introduced the cloud. Someone needs to channel Steve J and get these guys back on the ball.

ITunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found itunes will install but wont run!!!!!!!!

I updated itunes and it wont work. i unistalled all apple apps, about 5 to 10 times. i get this message on my HP 530,32 bit windows vista. At the top in the error window it says
*iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found* Then under that in the error box it says:
*The procedure entry point*
*QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll.*
What do i DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!

I found the qtcf.dll file in the sys32 moved it to the desktop tried iTunes and still same error message as above.
Okay ... sometimes there can be multiple copies of them lurking about on a PC.
Try heading into Computer, and typing QTCF.dll in your Search field. When Vista tells you it can't find the file, click "advanced" and tick the "Search hidden, non-indexed and system files (might be slow)" and then start another search.
This search *will indeed be slow.* Wait until the green progress bar up at the top of the screen has completely vanished, otherwise you might accidentally stop the search too soon.
What copies of QTCF.dll do you find, and where are their file locations? (The default location on a 32-bit Vista PC is in C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTCF.dll)

How do I install itunes.exe on blackberry passport? I've downloaded file but it will not open.

I'm trying to download an app that's only available on iTunes. I've downloaded iTunes.exe but it will not open on Blackberry passport. Is there a specific .exe version that I need to download?

You can't. iTunes itself runs on Windows PCs or Macs. Any apps available from the iTunes Store will only run on iPhones or iPads.

Why is my itunes not installing properly?
I installed itunes day before yesterday, I spent hours last night linking all my music photograph and movie files, its a new windows 8 laptop.
I plugged in my 64GB ipad 3 rebooted it and reloaded all the information I wanted on it, took hours... finally completed this this morning. After this I restarted the laptop to configure my icloud link for the laptop (which I installed last night while I was loading files, I chose to restart later)
on completion I turned my laptop off for a few hours, when I turned it back on I went to itunes to connect my iphone to do the same and I got this message:

ITunes will not shutdown I have to Contrl-Alt-Delete and end itunes.exe and itunes help to get it to shut down and stay closed. I did a system restore and went back to 10.5.1 version and updated to 10.5.3 no dice Windows 7 64 bit

Itunes will not stay close ever since I updated to 10.5.3 version. I try to close program and it pops right back up! The only way to close is open tack manager and stop the itunes.exe and the itunes.help then it will stay close. I did a system restore back to the earlier version of itunes but problem presisted. I finally did the task manager again and downloaded the update to 10.5.3 and this seemed to resolve the problem for awhile but now it is back! Is anybody else experiencing this problem? and where you able to correct it? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit have never had a problem with anything till now. I ran scans of my machine no viruses.

Hi,
i have exactely the same problem.
After the update to v10.5.3 iTunes isn't shutting down anymore. I have this error on various Windows versions (XP SP3, Win7 x86, Win7 x64.
On my private Notebook v10.5.2.11 still works! I won't update iTunes there - not even for a test .

Hi
I have tried to research these problems I am getting, but have not been able to resolve them.
1st is the above DDE Server Windows iTunes.exe - entry point not found.
This only occurs when I try to start iTunes.
if I click ok , several times, iTunes will start but slowly.
If at any time I have to reboot my computer I get
iTunesHelper.exe - the procedure entry point asl_add_log_file could not be located in the dynamic link library ASL.dll
if I click 3 times OK it goes away.
To this end I have uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my machine then gone to iTunes web site and downloaded the latest version.
Installing it but still get the same errors on reboot and trying to run iTunes
Anyone any ideas please.
I have a self build PC it has an Intel core 2 quad Q6000 @ 2.40GHz

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever

Can not remove or install itunes because hkey-local-machine\software\classes\.m3u\openwithlist\itunes.exe no permission

itunes will not install or uninstall because hkey-local-machine\software\classes\.m3u\openwithlist\itunes.exe no permission. I can edit and delete every other regedit but not this key

I found this solution on the Apple Support Forums. Adding the SYSTEM account is what worked for me:
+Let's check your permissions on the key.+
+In your "Start Search" box, type run and click on the Run that comes up. In your run, type regedit and hit enter.+
+In regedit:+
+Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE+
+Expand SOFTWARE+
+Expand CLASSES+
+Right-click on pcast and select "Permissions".+
+Select your user account name. Do you have full control of the key? If so, also select SYSTEM. Does the SYSTEM account have full control of the key?+

ITunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after reinstall

OK so I am using Windows XP, 32bit machine but it does 99% of my work
Said yes to iTunes 12.1 update, iTunes nolonger runs on PC but pops up a warning window
iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point CMTimeConvertScale could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll
OK'ing this
produces new window: -
iTunes was not installed correctly, Please reinstall iTunes
error 7 (Windows error 127)
Uninstalled iTunes 'only' from the Control Panel
Reinstalled iTunes version 11.1.5 (Windows XP 32bit) which did run on PC
Still see the same error. A bit stuffed as my music is in linbo.
A fix would be wonderful.
Thank you folks

Entry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of. CoreMedia.dll is part of Apple Application Support.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

ITunes will not launch "Can not find "iTunes.exe"" error

iTunes is not launching on my computer. Initially it stated" "Can not find "iTunes.exe"" error. But now it doesn't do anything.
Thanks,
//Vanessa//

Tried opening Quicktime - same. Tried Quicktime settings from control panel - a Fatal error has occured.
that corresponds to a "standalone 1603" error message on earlier versions of the itunes and quicktime installers.
let's try this first.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
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.
7. Restart your computer.
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, reboot the PC and try another itunes install. does that go through okay this time?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

ITunes will not open AND iTunes.exe will not LEAVE Task Manager

Hello,
I am also having the same issue with everyone else in that iTunes will not open. This happened to me about two weeks ago and I uninstalled and reinstalled the version that came with my iPod. I figured that after a couple of weeks Apple would have figured out the glitch and fixed it. Wrong. B was asking another user if iTunes.exe was appearing and then disappearing in the Task Manager. I am having the oposite issue in that I cannot End Task in the Task Manager on iTunes.exe. What is up? Can anyone help me? Thanks for the support!

hi bummed! (you do realise that you're stuck with that alias for the forseeable future, don't you?)
