My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

Howdy rtih,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Tiger refuses to open new windows in columns view ?!?

What might be the problem when the finder refuses to open new windows in column view?
What ever I do with preferences, new folders are always opening in icon view.
It is very frustrating when dragging files to the folder inside other folder, where in column view they should be in alphabetical order, and destination folder should be easily found, but in icon view, they are in what-so-ever order, and the changes of placing files accidently to the wrong folder is multiplied.
The workflow is always more or less disturbed with this, so that creativity is not the the adjective that is mentioned to describe the working with these machines.
Is there anything that could be done?
This same problem occurs similarily in both of my Macs G4 PowerBook and G4 MDD PowerMac.

Hello,
Trash the Finder preference file: com.apple.Finder.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps...
If not, then perhaps it's a good time to check the boot disk for errors;
If not, shut down the Mac(s). Now, press the power button, hold down the C key, and insert the restore disk all at the same time. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. An Installer window will open but DO NOT proceed with any installations, instead from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. In the DU window, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab and click: Verify If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar select Utilities/Startup Disk and select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
If you don't have your restore disk you could try booting in Safe Mode. Go here for instructions:

Downloaded itunes 7.5 on Tiger, iTunes REFUSES to open

I currently have OSX Tiger for my MacBook Pro. I upgraded my iTunes music library to v7.5 recently, but since I've done that, my iTunes has refused to open. A window pops up telling me I have to download the new OSX Leopard! What? So I went to HD>Library>Reciepts, and deleted itunesX.pkg, thinking the recent update would eliminate itself. Well, nothings happened. Plain, and simple, I would like my music library back without having to pay for Leopard. What's the deal?

You first have to update your OS X 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 or better, then click on this latest info link from Apple, plus the additional link "Recreate" that is posted within this document.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
Make sure you have QuickTime 7.3 installed ..... but NO hackies or Shape Shifter.
Stay iTuned!

Itunes No Longer Opens On Windows PC

For many days Itunes has not opened. Nothing happens, no error messages come up or anything, it just doesn't do anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, even tried an older version of it and nothing has worked. I tried to run it in safemode and it still didn't work. Everything else on my computer works fine, only Itunes wont work. I have emailed customer support many times and they wont help or give me any hints of what to do.

There is no message. The windows hour glass starts to revolve and then nothing.
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)?

ITunes will not open in Windows 7, 32-bit

I had to reinstall Windows 7. Since then, iTunes will not open. I have uninstalled iTunes and all related Apple products and reinstalled several times. It tries to open up for about 3 seconds and then nothing. Quicktime opens fine, but no iTunes. HELP!!

Hi, hopefully you have solved this now but if not I had a similar problem with an earlier version of iTunes.
To solve it I had to go into the services menu and shut down a service called 'Bonjour'. Then once iTunes was loaded restart the bonjour service in order to be able to connect a device to it.
There are also 2 other services one called 'apple mobile device' the other called 'iPod service' which are also known to cause loading problems.
Hope this is helpful or not needed

ITunes Won't open in Windows 7, how do I fix this?

I have run the installer and installed the software, but when I attempt to open iTunes it gives me the usage screen where I click "Agree" then the program crashes. I opened the task manager and right after clicking agree to process disappears.
How can I open this so I can update my new iPhone and iPad?
