ITunes STILL won't open on Windows...help please?

So, I am pretty frustrated.
I downloaded the lastest version of iTunes 7.2 a few days ago, and after installing it, I kept getting Symptom B as mentioned in the announcement above, "If iTunes 7.2 won't open or stay open on Windows..." posted by Roy B: my iTunes library gets updated after opening iTunes but only gets to about 80% until it becomes unresponsive and I have to close it. I tried the suggested solution one, but then as it's importing, it freezes and becomes unresponsive again. And I would try solution two, but I don't know how to revert back to the last version I was using if it's been replaced by the faulty one...Please help, I'd greatly appreciate. Thanks!

Which version of Windows do you have? I have a similar problem ... "iTunes has stopped working". I have some diagnostic info in my windows logs if any one could use them?

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

Thanks

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!

I was using FF yesterday afternoon and by the time I got home from work it will no longer open. I have tried a bunch of different solutions and it still won't open. Need help.

FF 4.xx was working fine around 2pm est yesterday. Got home around 8pm est and it wouldn't open. upgraded to 5.0 and still won't open. Did a clean install, ran as admin, tried system restore, restored previous versions. Still won't open. Can't make a new profile as manager won't open either.

Look for a folder called "Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save". That's the default spot for backups (at least on OS X). May be in there. If you don't have something like that, then hmm indeed maybe you don't have the backups. I don't know how to fix your corrupt file necessarily... i'm just a user... tho maybe try copying your Project file and renaming the copy with an .xml extension and opening it in an XML or Text editor... Premiere files are essentially XML files and altho i don't know the details, it's possible you could just go thru that file and find out what's wrong, edit it, resave, rename to .pproj, and open.

ITunes suddenly won't open on Windows 8

Hi, I've been running iTunes 10.7 on Windows 8 just fine for the past couple months... never had any problems with it at all, until today. Suddenly it won't open. The process shows up in my task manager, but the program will never actually open.
I tried everything- uninstalled QuickTime and iTunes, downloaded and installed the newest version of iTunes 11, tried it in both Windows 7 and Windows XP compatibility mode, ran as administrator, and everything else I could rustle up on the internet. Still does the exact same thing.
Has anyone else had this problem? It's been very frustrating today and any help I can get would be very appreciated. Thanks!

This worked for me although i'm not sure if it will work for you. Go to task manager (right click on the taskbar then click "Task Manager") and find all processes related to iTunes or just Apple software in general. Hit "End Task" to each of them then open them up again using whatever shortcuts you have set up. If this doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you.

ITunes still won't open after latest updated to fix it.

April 19 update was supposed to be a fix for apps that wouldn't open, but it didn't work. I still have to open iTunes with the terminal.

According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
First, back up all data.
Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

I downloaded Itunes 7.0.1 and itunes still won't open

Neither iTunes 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 will open for me. Basically, I install everything without any errors, go to run the program, get the windows thinking hourglass for about 3 seconds and then nothing.
I can get 6.0.5 to still work but I can't access the music store and I haven't been able to since a week before they introduced 7.0.0. I am so frustrated with Apple and iTunes right now...

I actualy was able to fix it. Here is a copy of the post I put up about fixing it:
Ok, like many of you, I was also getting iTunes to hang when plugging in my shuffle, and it would just sit with the spinning beach ball. Even after an hour, it was still frozen. Well, I just fixed mine.
I went to check the Library File to see if it was too large or something, and I found my Music folder wouldn't open, and when it did it showed 0 items, yet iTunes was still playing songs. So I ran TechTool Deluxe on it (it came with your APP if you bought one). Anyway, it found Volume errors on the music drive. So I backed up the music folder to another drive, and let TechTool repair the errors. When it was done, I ran it again, no errors. I then opened iTunes, plugged in my shuffle, and it instantly grabbed new songs via Autofill and sync'd. So, I think the iTunes installer is causing errors to the volume, which is causing the hang ups. TechTool was able to fix the errors, and now iTunes runs fine. Hopefully that will help a few of you get yours working again.
For the record, I store my music on my secondary internal drive, and keep the library in my user folder on the boot drive. After running the fix, everything appears to be just fine, and from what I can tell I lost no data.

Itunes still won't open, quicktime error

I have emtied my recycle bin and restarted my computer, but when I try to download the itunes software it still says " old version of quicktime cannot be deleted, itunes needs quicktime, download incomplete" Please help.

" old version of quicktime cannot be deleted, itunes needs quicktime, download incomplete"
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:

does an itunes install go through properly after you've cleaned that out of the way?

Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
Good luck!

ITunes store won't open on windows vista

Itunes itself opens fine, but when I go to iTunes store it is either blank or freezes

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.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

ITunes App Won't Finish Downloading. Help please.

I have been trying to download "The Bard's Tale" game app from iTunes for a couple days now. The app is 1.3gb in size. The download will start, but then it stops at 362.5mb and says "err -3259 The connection has timed out". I have the latest version of iTunes, the latest iPod update and a solid internet connection. I have also tried disabling my firewall completely with no success as well as disabling any antivirus software (which I don't really even have).
Also, get this: I tried downloading the same app on a friends computer (using the same wifi internet connection) and it still stopped at 362.5mb. I have tried everything. Other apps will download just fine on iTunes but this app won't. And it can't be the size because the last thing I downloaded before this was a 777mb iPod software update. Any ideas at all? Thanks!

Hi Do a Reboot Press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. Cheers Brian

ITUNES WON'T OPEN!!! PLEASE HELP ME I'M GOING INSANE!!

I have a dell computer.. I have Windows XP I got itunes wiht a new ipod mini in the fall. everything was going great, I even upgraded to the new itunes and everything was fine until about a month ago when it just quit on me. when I try to open itunes a message popped up that says:
itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
it says I can send and error report, which I often do. It doesn't say anything of any importance: no numbers, no nothing.
I uninstalled Quicktimes and repaired itunes: didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes from the web 3 times: didn't help, it installed just fine, but itunes wont open.
I read another post and tried to install quick time separately, following the advice to disable all of my virus protecting stuff.. but it said it was interrupted before it was finished installing. I have a quicktime icon in the bottom right hand corner of my screen, it seems to be there on my computer but itunes still won't open.
I am at my wits end. I am not a technologically minded person and am so sick of this, however, I need my music and my ipod working and I want to download tv shows so I won't give up.
if you have any ideas please help!!!

Well, installing over the web is never a good idea
with ANY software...
have you tried disabling your security software,
downloading the installer file to your hard drive,
and running the install?
Then turn your security software back on.
I'm having the same problem with my iTunes not opening and I installed the ewido anti-malware and nothing happened to me either. I'm just wondering how you disable the security software? I'm not too sure that I have one though, because my computer crashed and I don't think we have one installed yet. Please Help! Thanks!

XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

Hi,
I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
Your help would be welcome.
Regards.
Alain.

Hi,
I am going to reply to my own question.
The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
Too simple I guess!!!!

ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open. I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck. I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it. Can someone help?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

Itunes updated and now it won't work. I unstalled it and reinstalled the older version and it still won't open. Says the itunes library won't work with the older program. Help

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)
