ITunes refuses to load in Windows XP after latest iTunes upgrade

iTunes was running just fine.  Then after the latest upgrade, iTunes appears on the menu, but when I try to OPEN, there is perhaps 10 seconds of activity, then nothing.  I have tried redownloading and RUNning after disabling all virus and bot software; ditto SAVing and the RUNning offline; removing all previous versions and re-re-redownloading, all without success. Now I have lost contact with my iPod and am desperate.

It starts up slowly for me as well but it doesn't take that much time to load.  Have you tried defragging your drives?

  • ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

    iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

  • "Customized Icon and Label has stopped working" message on startup in Windows Vista after latest iTunes upgrade

    I upgraded to the latest iTunes as part of the process for upgrading my iPhone to iOS6.
    Now I get a message window with the above message when I start Windows Vista.
    Besides the nominal inconvenience of clicking to close the popup window, is this a problem?

    Same exact problem with my iPod Touch ever since updating iTunes to 10.4.1. I've reinstalled iTunes and still no progress. What the ****, Apple?

  • After latest iTunes update I get error message when syncing:

    "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "name" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone". Same for my iPad, same for both even after upgrading to IOS6.0. Any ideas?
    I tried to carry out a restore on the iPhone but iTunes cannot back it up.
    Is the latest iTunes broken? or is it just me?
    I am on Windows 7 64 bit, Never had this problem till the latest iTunes update.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

    Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Error message advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

    I am the original owner of an ipad and it woke it yesterday requiring me to activate it using the original apple id used to set it up.
    It will not accept my apple id and password.
    It does not show up in my icloud under devices.
    I have tried hard restart (home + power) and itunes recovery. 
    I am out of ideas and have not found anything for original owners (as opposed to someone who bought it from someone else).  I did see some posts from last year where a few people had the same problem and took it back to apple and got a refurbished unit given to them since customer service and engineering couldn't fix it.  I was wondering if this was related to the recent ios8 upgrade. Anybody else have ideas or same problem before I hike down to the apple store for mercy?

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • ITunes Won't Load on Windows 7

    ITunes won't load since the last update.  I tried updating to the new beta version, and it still won't load.  I have lost my contacts on my iPhone and now I can't load iTunes.  I do have another computer running an older version of iTunes and would like to transfer my contacts file to the older computer and then sync my iPhone to that computer.  Can someone please help me with transfering my contacts file to the other computer?  It would be nice if iTunes would load on this computer, the one I use all the time but it seems this problem is not being addressed.  Do Apple personnel only address these problems if you pay them for support, or do they fix their software and help their customers?  Here is the error message I get, and as you can see, iTunes is not loading, just giving the error message:
    The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 basic.
    Program: iTunes
    Publisher: Apple Inc.
    Process Identifier (PID): 4652
    Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running.
    iTunes never starts after this message.  I've checked Windows Task Manager to see what programs are running.  I've tried using the iTune comaptibility option but that didn't change anything.  iTunes has always worked, now nothing.  Nothing happens when I plug in my iPhone, or when I start iTunes.  I just want my contacts, that's all!!!  I had always thought I was safe because I always backed up my phone -- boy was i wrong. 

    It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
    many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • 10.6 iTunes won't load on Windows Vista

    I allowed Itunes to upgrade to the newest version available.  Now I am in real trouble.  Itunes will not load period.  Have tried many fixes suggested.  Nothing has worked so far.
    I have an ipod and an iphone, each using different libraries.  I don't know how to tell the libraries apart.  They did have different names, but now I can't find them again.
    First of all I have to get itunes running.  I have tried using an older version, no luck.  I have tried deletinge every reference to itunes, no luck either.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 10 times.
    Please help.

  • ITunes 9 not loading on Windows 7 64 bit

    I have iTunes 9.0.2 for Windows 64 installed on my laptop. It was working fine, but now it isn't loading. I have searched and tried several things so far. I've uninstalled everything apple and reinstalled it. I removed all iTunes folders and rebooted before retinstalling iTunes. I installed it as administrator. I've also played with the compatibility options as well. Any ideas of how to get it to work?

    I have had a similar problem today. Sorted it tho!!Follow this and it should work.
    Go to start menu and click RUN (bottom RHS) in the address bar type- msconfig press return. This will open a new window, click on selective start up, click 'apply' now click on the services tab and scroll down to 'Bonjour Service' deselect this box then click 'apply' then click OK. A box will now ask you if you want to restart, click restart. Once the computer restarts it should work. I had to deselect each item in turn until iTunes worked so this took me hours, however, it should be much quicker for you!
    Good luck
