ITunes Setup downloads iTunes 7, but iTunes 7 won't open, no error message

So I've been at this for months, trying to update my iTunes from 6 to 7, and previous versions have opened on my laptop, but this time, NO! I've downloaded the setup for 7, it loads the program and we restart the computer so that it can get the new parameters straight, so then I try to open iTunes and the mouse pointer gives me the hourglass and the iTunes icon flickers and turns to a white box for a split second and back to the regular icon. The program doesn't open, I don't see an error message, nothing. I got an Ipod nano for Christmas and I can't use it because it needs iTunes 7! Has anyone had this problem? I've read so many threads and topics here but I haven't seen any answers to this one!
I've tried reinstalling it and deleting it and reinstalling it. I've also just tried updating using the Apple Software Updater (instead of downloading from the Apple website) and it gives me an error. Hmmm... I guess I should figure out what that error says too. But anyway, I need help!

So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
that's not working either... I wonder if you know
windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
raising the security settings but nothing appears...
interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

TS2972 I downloaded text me ap from the itunes store onto my computer but it won't open, how do I use it?

Hello I just downloaded "text me" ap from the itunes store to my desktop computer, but it won't open!! How do I use it? I tried right clicking and double clicking but nothing happens... Please advise.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

FINALLY got my iTunes to update but now it won't open, the error message is "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read b/c it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

This is getting irritating. I finally get the update to install now I get this new error message, I don't get it. I have Windows 7, all the updates have been installed on that, but I can't get the stupid iTunes to open. Seriously annoying! Can anyone help me?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Tried to update itunes but now it wont open,an error message comes up ??

i have tried to update my itunes but now i am not able to open it and an error message comes up saying "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found . re installing the application may fix the problem" . i dont know how to reinstall it or how to fix it help !??

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

ITunes won't open, QuickTime error message

By accident, I deleted QuickTime, and can now not open iTunes, so I downloaded QuickTime again, recieved a message that QuickTime has been successfully downloaded, but when I try to open/run it, I get this error message:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ContentIE5\TYMNQEZC\Quicktimeinstaller[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application"
I am a computer illiterate, Please help me!

hmmm. let's try an alternate technique for swapping out your QuickTime that doesn't involve redownloading an installer.
first let's just make sure your previous QuickTime is thoroughly gone.
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.
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".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Itunes 7 won't open, no error message, also another new strange problem

I found a thread for this awhile ago and followed it and it worked. However, I can't find the thread again, and after I restarted my computer, itunes once again would not open. I'm not getting any error message, just a brief moment with the hourglass symbol up and then nothing. So far I have uninstalled all itunes/quicktime products from my computer and reinstalled a few times, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

Itunes won't open. continual error message

Itunes 8 won't open. I click to try to open it and I get "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I've tried plugging in Ipod to see if it will help in opening itunes. it won't. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've tried taking itunes library out and opening...same error. Please help!

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ directory and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

HT1222 i can't update itunes - It downloads to the end and then gives me an error message

I can't update itunes - I keep getting a error message after the download is done -any idea what I should do?

Several things to try.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.

ITunes won't open - wordless error message

When I try to open itunes, I get a wordless error message that only shows a red octagon behind the itunes application symbol. The only option is to click 'OK'. Any ideas what this is and how to deal with it? I haven't used itunes in a few weeks, so I have no idea when this problem occurred. I've searched online and in the forum, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious!

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ directory and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

I foolishly installed Kaspersky, then Safari 4.0.5 crashed, deleted safari downloaded from disc, but now won't open saying i need osx 10.0 or higher. i am running 10.6.7!

How do I repair Safari 4.0.3, 4.0.4 or 4.0.5 after installing Kaspersky AV? I WAS running 4 or 5..don't recall..
After installing Kaspersky, Safari would crash immediately. I deleted all versions of Safari on my iMac, downloaded and tried to install Safari again.. I kept getting a message saying I needed OSX 10.0 or higher! I'm on a iMac OS X 10.6.7!
I was able to copy Safari 4.0.3 from my disc from when I purchased the computer, but it won't allow me to update at all to a higher version, stating the same reason!
How do I fix this?

HI,
Code Type: X86-64 (Native)
Try running Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

Photoshop Elements 12. Downloaded & Installed. But it won't open. What do I do now?

I have downloaded and enstalled Photoshop Elements 12. Now it won't open. What do I do?

What computer? What OS?

IPad won't open iBooks - error message that book isn't formatted correctly, iPad is fully updated and I've tried deleting and reloading iBooks - only thing that has happened between when it used to work and now doesn't is that I took the iPad to singapore

iPad used to open iBooks purchased off iTunes no problems but since I took my iPad overseas on holiday it no longer opens iBooks - they appear to download ok but when I tap to open the book I get an error message saying the book isn't formatted correctly or is in a format that iBooks doesn't recognise. I have tried
- deleting and reloading iBooks
- making all updates have been done
- turning on and off airplane mode
And still have the problems
Did ask iTunes help but so far no joy - appreciate help please

Ok, I got the 1.3/1.4 thing straight now. There was a java.exe in System32 that I now see the PATH was calling first.
And in the TextPad version of the problem, I was curious -- I don't remember setting the specification of the executable called by the Run Tool button, but I must have at some point. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it created a default button that apparently points to what it's supposed to point to, since it now works and runs my program OK.
Still, I wonder how it can be that explicitly directing the button to C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\java.exe makes TextPad's Command Results Window say "NoClassDefFoundError"
I'm up and working now, but if anyone has a clue I can learn from on the TextPad issue, thanks

FCP won't open - no error message

When I try to open FCP from the Dock the little light below the icon lights up for about a second and then nothing happens. When I try to open it from the Applications folder the icon will do it's "zoom" animation but still nothing happens. If I do cmdoptesc it doesn't show up but do cmd+i on the icon it says it was just opened.
I read I should delete my preferences, but I can't find any relating to FCP:
I downloaded Preference Manager and used it to delete FCP preferences but it still won't open.
Here are the basics of my computer:
osx 10.5.5
FCP 6.0.5
Caldigit HDPro 1.6
I realize I have old versions of everything but up until now it all worked.

Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on the system drive.
Restart, try FCP again, post your results.
