Itunes start-up error

When i try to open Itunes i recieve this error:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropiate permissions to access the item.
I've tried to reinstall Itunes but i recieve a another error stating that i don't permission to modify file A, Which forced me to use a 3rd party program uninstall application, which  successfully uninstalled Itunes. Then i go and install Itunes again, no errors during the installation and tells me that i have installed itunes. When i try to run itunes i get the exact same error.

I get the exact same message when i double click and run as adminstratour .
Okay ... switching focus to a possible malware infection then. There's a security exploit (attaching to the iTunes image execution options in the registry) that can produce similar messages under those circumstances. If that is what is afoot, Malwarebytes AntiMalware can usually find the issue.
Download and install the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

    please help, its frustrating

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

    I keep getting and error when I try to start my iTunes. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, Then install iTunes again. Error 2(Windows error 2)".... I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the error still occurs!!! This started happening after I installed the 10.3 update

    I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and  some people said that they worked.

    OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
    1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.
    2. Disconnect from internet.
    3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
    4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
    5. Run iTunes.
    6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
    7. Reconnect to internet.
    8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
    OR!
    (Original post by Cr4z33)
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

    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.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    It doesn't matter and doing a manual install will not fix the problem either.  I'm looking for a solution but no luck yet.  I think Apple has given us a bad update.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
    iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

  • An error message when iTunes starts up.

    Lately when my iTunes start I get the following error
    message.
    iTunes Setup Assistant
    Warning!
    The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and
    burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of
    installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I tried to reinstall, but I still get the same error message. It doesn't matter much, I'm not using the iTunes
    to burn CDs, just trying to get the message to stop
    popping up everytime, keeps the iTunes from starting
    automatically when I connect the iPod. Thanks.
    me.

    What other burning software do you use on your PC? There is a reason why this happens. When an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some people, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists...
    First, I would tell you to go to your computer manufacturer's website and download all new driver's for your optical drives. Run CD Diagnostics in iTunes and post them here if you still have problems. Here is an Apple Article that discusses this issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976
    There are other work arounds as well if you want to know that. Post back if you still have problems.

  • ITunes won't start - Unknown error 13014 (solved)

    I'm posting this up to add to the combined wisdom and help somebody suffering the same difficulty.
    I recently bought an iPod Touch so of course had to download iTunes (9.0.3.15) in order just to turn it on for the first time (not happy - I bought it to use as a stand-alone device and I don't think Apple should presume I have a PC or want to connect an iPod to it).
    Computer OS: WinXP SP2
    Anyway, everything was fine to start with, iPod started up and I began to explore it, then I used iTunes on the PC (iPod not connected) to have a look around the apps store, downloaded a few little freebies as a taster.
    Then came the problems. Next time I tried to run iTunes on the PC, it wouldn't start and an error message window popped up "*Unknown error 13014*".
    I googled the problem and found this forum, and the suggested solutions comprised:
    1. Delete the Library Genius database files
    2. Clean the Windows registry
    3. Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    4. Wind back to a previous version of iTunes
    I didn't try number 4, but I did everything else to no effect (the database files are in My Documents\My Music\iTunes by the way). I uninstalled, cleaned the registry, rebooted, installed, cleaned the registry, rebooted... still no good.
    Then I spotted something which suggested I needed XP SP3 (didn't see why it should make a difference as iTunes had worked originally), and I have always been reluctant to interfere with a working PC, but with trepidation I bit the bullet and updated. To no effect (but at least I haven't broken anything).
    So I re-read the forum advice and had an idea. *I renamed the iTunes directory (in My Music) so that it wouldn't be found when iTunes starts, lo and behold iTunes started up fine* and built a new iTunes directory.
    The old directory contains the free apps I downloaded, I don't know if one of them is causing the problem but I might try copying the files over and see if anything breaks. I will post again if I find out anything.

    PS: I have the corrupt iTunes folder preserved, I can zip it up and email it if the support team would like to dissect it.

    It then works normally - except it does not recognize any USB devices (eg iPhone, iPad)
