ITunes on start up

Everytime I launch iTunes I get a message stating iTunes set up assistant. It doesnt seem to make a difference if i continue with the procedure or not, as if I press cancel it will continue to iTunes with all my music there and if I fill out the wizard it just prompts me again next start up. However it is just annoying having to go through it every single time i want to open iTunes. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?

i'd definitely go with Chris's suggestion rather than mine, Dani. his suggestion actually works ...
(just tested it on belladonna.)
Chris, is there a way to get itunes to play (as well as launch) on start-up using a similar technique? would a shortcut to a song file in the itunes library do the trick?

Itunes wont start and i get no error messages

i just downloaded itunes 7.3 and itunes wont start any ideas how to fix?

Okay. I'm still wondering about your firewall. A "persistent" iTunes.exe in your processes is most consistent with a firewall blocking iTunes, iTunesHelper and/or QuickTime from accessing the Internet. (Norton Internet Security 2005 is by far the worst offender in this regard, but it can be produced both other firewalls too.)
Head into the Firewalls settings and make sure that iTunes, iTunesHelper, and QuickTime are all being allowed full access to the internet.
If iTunes still doesn't launch after making sure the firewall is correctly adjusted, reboot the PC and try the suggestion from the following document. (It's a much rarer issue, but it can also produce that persistent iTunes.exe symptom in conjunction with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.)
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading

ITunes wont start up

Hi, i had a look on this answer to a topic : itunes wont start :
+The QuickTime problem is most likely causing the iTunes launch problem. So let's try swapping out your QuickTime again taking a few additional explicit precautions.+
+Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.+
+Next, we’ll manually remove any 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 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".+
but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
and i cant get rid of it. Pls help. Any ideas? Thx. J

but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
Let's try getting the program uninstalled by other means then.
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
Does the repair install go through properly now? Or do you get another error message when you try the repair install?

what can be wrong?

I recommend you do as LexSchellings and I are telling you to do. If you have uninstalled iTunes and the reinstalled it from Apple's website and it still does not work, you will have to contact the Apple Technical Support section for them to guide you through steps to try and get it working.

Itunes wont start, computer says to download latest version 7.5

iTunes wont start, solution computer gives it to download latest version 7.5. nut when i download it and install 7.5 on my computer, which i have done several times, it doesn't work and says i should download the latest update.....which i already have! is it Vista related, or is relating to version 7.5?....please help me!!

I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
"this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
Hope that works!

How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active Windows sessions?

I have multiple (3) user accounts on a windows (Vista) computer. When I start iTunes from one account iTunes wants to also start up on each of the active windows accounts and continues to attempt to start iTunes after some time period (90 seconds?).
I get a error screen on the attempts for the User that should not be starting iTunes that reads:
You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open.
Ask the other user to quit the application, then try again.
I want iTunes to run within only one account. How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active accounts?

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook? We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we plug in an iPad.

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

ITunes automatically starts playing when iPhone 5 (w iOS 7.0.2) is connected to car radio via an Apple cable

I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.2, regardless it is the most recent update
When I plug my phone into my car radio's USB port (Apple cable, not knock off) iTunes starts to play the very first song in my large iTunes library.
I plug into the USB port to charge it and to connect the phone to radio in order to use hands free audio.
I have tried two or three different cables, it happens with all cables and again all are actual Apple cables.
I do not recall this happening with iOs 6 or at least as much.
With iOs 7 it happens every f***ing time. Extremely annoying and dangerous (I may get so frustrated by this that one day I might just smash the phone or the car radio :-) to the equipment.
I have to unlock my phone, go to iTunes and pause or stop the song/iTunes.
The app does not show as being open, that is why I have to go iTunes itself, the old fashioned way, so to speak.
It sometimes happens when I plug my headset in (also Apple brand, the basic ones that come with the iPad and iPhones) to phone and have tried the two different ones I have. It only seems to happen if my phone is not in use (i.e. I am on a call and switch to the headset it does not happen)
Interestingly this issue with the headphones and iTunes automatically starting happened more with iOS 6 and than with iOS 7. Ironically the opposite is true with the car radio, USB port cable, charging and iPhone — it rarely happened with iOS 6.0 but with iOS 7.0 it always happens.
I cannot seem to find a fix here but I do see I am not the only one with this annoying issue.
Please someone (APPLE!) figure out a fix.
PS I have even considered NOT having any of my music on my phone — none at all — which not only would solve the problem (I would hope!) but be extremely inconvenient and defeating the purpose of only having an iPhone vs an iPhone and an iPod.
PPS - I probably left out something really relevant, like what color is my car , so if I did, please let me know.

I have an iPhone 5 and every time I get into my car, as soon as my iPhone connects to the bluetooth or if I connect the USB cable, the music starts blaring through the car stereo, even if the radio was off. If I am using any of the navigation apps on my phone (google maps, waze, apple maps), and I happen to be lucky enough to have the voice directions working (that's consistently inconsistent), the music will frequently start by itself during navigation, even if I didn't turn the music on. Sometimes the music and navigation voice over will compete with each other at the same time. Sometimes they both go totally silent. Sometimes I'll hear only music. Sometimes only the voice directions. And if make or receive a phone call while the navigation is working, as soon as the phone call ends, the music will always take over again, even if I didn't have the music on prior to. I've checked and re-checked every setting on my phone, in my apps, in my car, and followed all of the suggestions I've found online (note to Apple - there are tons of posts on this topic), and nothing works.
It seems like there should be an easy software fix for this, or at the very least, options to:
prevent the music from starting automatically every time you connect with a cable or bluetooth (insanely annoying)
allow voice directions to temporarily mute music, should one choose to be listenting to music and navigating at the same time
just listen to voice direction - no music!
Better yet, how about just provide options to let the end-user decide when to listen to music.
For a product that is supposed to be "intuitively easly" and/or "just works", this level of dysfunction shouldn't be acceptable. Come on Apple - what are you doing to fix this???

Cannot get iTunes to start, no matter what fixes I try

Hi all!
I was running iTunes 12 on Windows 64x computer. My iTunes started crashing a few days ago and now won't open AT ALL. Not in Safe Mode or anything. Won't create a new library either. I get no error message either.
Please don't tell me to uninstall/reinstall iTunes or Quicktime, I have scoured the internet and Apple support community forums and I've just about tried every single fix I could possibly find.
This is the first thing I tried: http://support.apple.com/en-za/HT1923
so please don't suggest that one again. I've even tried unistalling quicktime and also reinstalling the latest version. I have downgraded my iTunes to a previous version. I have tried using an older library file. I have tried the msconfig fix. I have tried the sfc /scannow in command prompt too. It won't even open in safe mode. It won't let me create a new library. NOTHING.
Some of the articles I read:
Sometimes (usually late at night when I need to get to bed) itunes will not respond once it opens on my windows laptop. Get twirly spin and if that ever stops, itunes freezes and I cannot do anything with it.

iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
Issues installing iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
itunes will not open --windows 7 64bit
And NONE of those solutions have worked!!!!
I thought it might be a problem with IOBit software which I installed recently, so I uninstalled that, but it didn't make any difference.
I have enabled iTunes and Bonjour on the Firewall too like it says here: How to enable iTunes in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 firewall - Apple Support
I have even looked at msvcr80.dll and QTMovieWin.dll. I must say, copying QTMovieWin.dll has kept iTunes running longer in Task manager than anything else, a whole 45 sec. But it still didn't open!!
Please if anyone has help it would be appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!

Actually my iTunes just started!!!!
So if anyone else is having this problem, the last thing I tried was copying the QTMovieWin.dll from my C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder to my C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes folder and started my iTunes Helper.exe
Hope that can help someone!
