ITunes simply wont launch, no error message or anything...

Hi, when I click on iTunes--whether from the shortcut, start menu, or the actual location it was saved in--it won't open. Nothing comes up at all, it's as if I never double clicked it. I've tried right clicking >> open. Still nothing.
What is going on with my iTunes? Do I need to reinstall?
Thanks in advance for any help

Alright I figured it out, in my task manager under processes it was still running so I closed it, now it opens fine

Itunes will not launch, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)
Yeah

OK, so i cannot enter into iTunes safe mode, whilst monitoring proccesses in the task manager I noticed that itunes will only stay open if i keep my fingers on shift and control-i dont know if that is worth mentioning- the proccess promptly ends after the release of the said keys, (I tried both the shift control keys on either side of the keyboard-same result) so i am stuck there.
P.S.
This version of iTunes had previously worked before, I uninstalled everything apple related after noticing how many processes (-id est-) /applications, were using up my memory.
afterwards I had need for iTunes, (i needed to wipe my iDevice) I reinstalled and this problem has arisen.

Itunes won't launch, no error message

I have an ipod shuffle and everything was fine till I downloaded the new version of itunes. Now itunes does not launch, it does not do anything atall, no error message, no hourglass, nothing.
Also, my ipod shuts down after playing for just 5 minutes. It seems like it is not getting charged even if I leave it in my computer for a while.
Quicktime launces without any problems.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

I have same problem on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC. Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far. Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes. Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:- open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes. Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS. I-tunes will now re-open ok. You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

7.1.1 iTunes Fails to Launch (No Error Message, Pretty Weird)

After downloading iTunes 7.1.1, I installed iTunes. The installation went well and everything was installed. I had no problem with installation.
However, after installing, I tried opening iTunes. However it fails to launch and I don't receive an error message.
When I open the Windows Task Manager and check out the processes, the iTunes.exe appears for 10 seconds and then disappears.
The weird thing is, is that iTunes version 4.0 works perfectly. (I think it's 4.0. It's the one that has the green note. The current versions have the blue note.)
I can open it up and play my music.
I have a Dell Dimension 8200 (It's about 6 years old.) The operation system is Windows XP.
Can someone explain and tell me how to fix this problem, so I can open iTunes 7.1.1.
Thanks.

doublechecking one more thing that can help narrow in on possible culprits with these sorts of symptoms.
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?)

Itunes store wont load - no error message :-/

Hi everyone,
Recently, for some unknown reason, itunes store will not load on my laptop. Strangely no error message appears it just starts loading and then stops half way through. I have tried diagnosis, repair, re-installing it completely, checking internet connection and nothing has worked. Has anyone else experienced this and if so can anyone help? I thought it might be down time at first but this has been happenning for over a week now :-(
Cheers,
Nick.

yes having same problem - no store - iphone won't sync

ITunes will not launch--no error message

I just got a new iPod for Christmas (5th Gen 30 GB iPod with Video--Black), and I've been trying to set it up. I have yet to even plug my iPod into the computer because there is a problem with iTunes. Every time I click on iTunes or attempt to open anything with iTunes, nothing happens. For a few seconds the cursor will have an hourglass as if something was happening but then it goes away and nothing happens. I've tried many methods of fixing this problem but nothing is working, and without an error message, identifying the problem has been made difficult. I've reinstalled iTunes a few times and there really are no other problems with anything else on my computer. Can anyone help me?
Edit: I do not have Norton on my computer. I do have McAfee, Windows Defender, Lavasoft Ad-aware, and Spybot--Search & Destroy
Also, Quicktime is working fine, and no, there is NOT a flash of the license agreement
Thanks

ITunes doesn't launch; no error message, computer freezes up.

When I click on my iTunes desktop icon, a message appears saying, "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes...". Then the computer slows to a crawl, and within minutes completely freezes up, fails to recognize key-strokes, or mouse movement and I have to pull the powercord out of the wall outlet. All other software and internet works fine. I have downloaded no new software, and my spyware/virus sweeps find nothing. HELP!!!!

When I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and wont be installed. I use Windows 7.

Everytime I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and can't be installed? I have tried to install it two times and get the same message each time. Any solutions to my problem?? Those who have installed ITUNES 11 is it hard to work with? maybe im lucky it wont update?? I don't know.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

You are in that awful authorization loop.
Here are some steps to try.
1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC - it might be using multiple authorizations and this article shows you how to fix that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
And make sure you authorize for all iTS accounts, even that old one from 3 years ago you may have forgotten about.
2. Delete the SC Info folder. The entire folder, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to restart your PC, as the article says.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. Sometimes the latest song of the week fixes everything.
And if that doesn't work, contact iTS support from this page - use the Contact Us button.
They will tell you to do the same things; reply back to their canned response.

iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

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 - 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.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
