ITunes refuses to start- Help!

When I launch iTunes 8, a dialogue box comes up saying that : Error code-600. What has happened and how can I fix it?

Also...do you have your library on an external drive? If so, is the external connected when you're attempting to launch iTunes?

  • ITunes refuses to start up

    After a few uses, my iTunes refuses to open, giving the standard Windows XP message saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the CD and from the website and both have proven ineffective. If anyone can help me out, I would be most grateful.

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.

  • ITunes refuses to start. Can´t find iTunes folder!?!?!!

    I recently tried to move all my iTunes media content to an external HDD.
    Now i can´t get iTunes to boot up! It gives me this error msg.: The "iTunes folder" an not be found or created, and is essential. The default location is in the music folder. (written in Danish) I tried to move the folder back. But that didn´t help. I tried moving the library file somewhere else (to see if iTunes would start from fresh) This didn´t help either!
    I have even tried to uninstall iTunes then reboot then redownload and install then reboot. STILL nothing!
    Please help!

    The video is detected just fine and the driver gives no errors.  It does check all connections and - as you note - indicated some are not connected, but then it does connect on DVI-0.
    The end shows that it exited normally.  Something is wrong with your xinitrc and/or lxde is not starting.  The latter should give an error, so I suspect the former is the issue.
    When you say you executed "#startx" does that mean you did it as root?  If so that is both a bad idea in general, and a reason why this specific case fails.  Your xinitrc is not read, instead X looks for /root/.xinitrc and if it doesn't find it uses the systemwide xinitrc.

  • ITunes refuses to open HELP

    my problems started when i downloaded the new itunes 6.0.2, i downloaded the program and upon installing something fishy with an error message came up, and after that whenever i went to open itunes it would have an error message saying something like "itunes is missing files required to run", and after uninstalling a quicktime error message would come up sying quicktime wasnt properly working and wouldnt open, afte troubles, but finally success, uninstalling quicktime and itunes, i downloaded itunes 6.0.1 and quicktinme works fine, but itunes will show the loading sandcursor for a split second then just stop
    this is where ive hit my dead end of ideas and patience
    PLEASE HELP ME!

    but itunes will show the loading sandcursor for a split second then just stop
    can you check something for me quinn? reboot the PC, open your Task Manager to the Processes tab, and try to launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so does it persist in there, or does it disappear after a few seconds?
    (this will give us a heads up on which possibilities we should be checking up on first.)
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • ITunes refuses to start - but process is running (can take up to 5 mins to start!)

    When i click to load itunes (10.5.1), the process starts up, but no application loads in task manager. Sometimes i get a small dialog box popping up showing 'Checking iTunes Library', and then nothing for a good 5-10 minutes. Finally iTunes loads, and once it has done that, the program operates as normal.
    I've tried rolling back to 10.4.2 and the problem still persists.
    This error occurred out of the blue on my new desktop machine, but i had been using itunes without issue for over 2 weeks on it.
    I've done a complete windows reinstall of the machine, and then reinstalled itunes, and the problem still persists.
    Even before importing my library, the program is slow to load, so its not a library size issue.
    I'm on windows 7 professional 64bit SP1, fully updated. Processor is an i7-2700k, with dual ati 5850 cards, running on the latest 11.11 drivers.
    Itunes is installed on a 120GB vertex 3 SSD. The library is on a secondary mechanical local hard disk.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

  • ITunes will not start up... Keeps giving Windows Error Message.... help!!

    Can Anyone help me as I can’t use my ITUNEs and am Handicapped when it comes transferring ITEM on and OFF my IPHONE...
    Thanks

    That error suggests you may have a QUicktime problem rather than an iTunes problem.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    If so uninstall them. They are bad news for Quicktime.
    Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

    Hello out there,
    please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
    I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
    I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
    Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
    1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
    2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
    3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
    4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
    5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
    6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
    It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
    Please, does anybody know what to do?
    Any hints and help are much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    and best regards

    Hi, ATPMolloy.
    I certainly understand your frustration and will do my best to help.  I see you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no change in results.  I have attached an article below that specifically troubleshoots this issue that you are experiencing.

  • Cannot get Itunes to regonize my Itouch. Have tried all troubleshooting tips with no luck. Use to work just fine but not after installing Windows 7 and itunes 10. tried starting mobile device but get error code 193: Oxc.1. Any help out there?

    cannot start apple mobile device. error code 193: Oxc.1

    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!

  • Itunes refuses to let ipod sync, says "Mobile Device Service is not started

    So for some reason my iTunes refuses to sync. Itunes announces it that there is something wrong with syncing, something about "bonjour being disabled" and then it asks if I would like itunes to fix the problem. I hit yes. Itunes then "fixes" the problem, by ignoring that there is an ipod connected to the computer, and refuses to acknowledge the ipod's existence even if I run a diagnostic. I tried downloading bonjour for windows, thinking that might solve the issue, but no such luck, it tells me i already have bonjour for windows on my computer--god knows where it thinks bonjour is, since running find turns up nothing.
    Anyone have a clue how to smack itunes upside the head and get it to start syncing again?

    Restart the AMDS! Read about it here.
