ITunes not working

When ever i try to open iTunes, windows immediatly comes up with iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close with options of debug, send error report, or dont send. What do i do to get iTunes working again?

It is hard to deal with so many people at the same time, so here is some general inforation about trouble shooting - Buffer overrun detected when trying to launch Quicktime.
I have 3 steps:
Step 1) Check for viruses and spyware using the latest definitions.
Step 2) Check for extra CODECs such as ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package also Quicktime alternative. I also ask people to start Quicktime preferences from the control panel and report any error message as this can also give a clue to unusual CODECs. Uninstall them if present.
Step 3) Completely remove Quicktime using the method in the following link for XP, the page contians a link for Vista:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
The page contains information about removing iTunes, but only do the Quicktime part.
When you come to step 12 - "Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue." - If you see a Quicktime folder in C:\Windows\system32, you can delete that too.
Restart your computer then download and install the version of Quicktime without iTunes, option 1 here:

  • Itunes not working, get "missing file, reinstall itunes" message.

    1.  Itunes not working, get "missing file, reinstall itunes", message.
    2.  When try to reinstall itunes, gets as far as "starting services", then stops with message, "Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I am logged in to my laptop as Administrator.
    3.  After selecting "retry" and "ignore" a few times, install went ahead and got "Congrats, you have successfully installed itunes"
    When I went to itunes I got, " Itunes not installed correctly, please reinstall. Error7 (Windows error 126)".
    4. On reinstalling itunes yet again, got, "Programme cannot start because MSVCR80.dll is missing. Try to reinstall programme"

  • HT6001 the version 11.1.4 of iTunes not working good because it's not recognizing my iPhone and I can't do anything.

    the version 11.1.4 of iTunes not working good because it's not recognizing my iPhone and I can't do anything.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

    Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
    It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
    Procedure:
    1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
    2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
    3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
    4. Install iTunes 8.0
    Here is where it gets dumb.
    This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
    5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
    6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
    7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
    8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
    9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
    10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
    The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
    I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
    However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
    Take care all.

    I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
    One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.

  • ITunes Not Working [at all..;need help!; very detailed.]

    Hello.
    My iTunes doesnt work at all. When I click on iTunes, it doesnt open or anything. I have uninstalled it and then re-installed it many times, it didnt work. Because of my iTunes not working, i had no choice but to put my songs on manually using Rockbox [an alternative fw]..
    And now i really need help, cause it is really annoying to put my songs on manually!
    Help?
    BTW i have norton installed, is that why it may not be working?
    --Aaron R.

    FYI, there's an iTunes forum where you may have
    better luck. You can try posting over there
    Anyway, I'm not really sure. Does it show up in the
    task manager? Is there an iTuneshelper.exe process?
    Tom
    yeah, there is an itunes helper.exe process.
    well, im going to post it in the itunes forum.look for it over there.

  • Itunes not working when i plug ipod in

    I have resetted a ipod classic to the original settings and it will not connect to itunes on my windows 7 computer. A message comes up that says itunes not working and closes it down. What do I need to do to get it back and running so I can put music on it?

    i believe you are using an apple device for the first time
    once you connect your device to the computer, on the left handside in centre of itunes your device will appear
    if you dont know how to add songs and other stuff, just look for it on youtube which will be easy to follow

    ITUNES NOT WORKING ON IPAD 3?

    What exactly is the problem?
    The iTunes App on your iPad is a portal to the iTunes Store for music and videos.  It needs a connection to the internet (either WiFi or cellular) to work.
    To play music on your iPad, use the Music App.  To play videos on your iPad, use the Videos App.
    If you need help using your iPad, look at the iPad iOS 5.1 User Guide

    I had problems uninstalling Apple Mobile Support, I had to repair it first before I could uninstall it. You will have to restart the computer after all the uninstalls, and before reinstalling ITunes. I reinstalled ITunes from the Apple website afterwards (fresh download) ... everything works for me now that I have done this.
