ITunes stopped working after 8.01 upgrade

While running iTunes 8 on my xp pro box it asked to upgrade. I said yes. It did, but never appeared after upgrading. It is running in the task manager, but no application ever appears. Here's what I have tried:
1. repair install - no luck
2. remove install and re-install 8.0 - 8 says can't start due to library files being from a newer version.
3. moved library files out of the 'my music' folder - 8 still wouldn't start.
4. re-install 8.01 - no start
5. re-installed newest QT - did see 'QT handler' wouldn't shut down errors when re-starting system - but this didn't get iTunes working.
6. QT opens and works fine.
7. deleted the data files in the 'all users' folders - still won't run.
8. re-installed the VBasic scripter - no fix.
9. started the smart card service - no fix
Looks like MANY other having problems with 8.01. Any helpful ideas appreciated!

I am having the same problem. My iTunes will not start. It started once or twice. I tried downloading it again and it gave me the option of repairing or rmoving so i chose repairing and it finished installing and started up. now it won't start again. I think it caused my iPod to lose the music in it.
If i remove iTunes and reinstall it, will it lose my library on the computer?
thanks
Mike

  • NVidia firewall stopped working after nForce drivers upgrade

    Just for the record, my nVidia firewall stopped working after I "upgraded" from nForce 4.08 (came with the mobo cd) to 4.24 (latest drivers at the nVidia website).
    ...damn nVidia.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried -- to an extent -- what you suggested.  Thinking nVidia was smart   I went on to installing the 4.24 without removing previous drivers/components.  Everything installed except for the network/firewall stuff.  I clicked "yes, install nVidia network stuff" and a fatal error occured a few seconds into the installation.  I then proceeded to uninstalling the network access manager, followed by a retry of the 4.24 installation: same problem.
    However, I never uninstalled the nForce drivers themselves.  I will redownload the 4.24 .exe, uninstall everything, and run the .exe.  I'll then proceed to report my crappy results here, in this forum.

    Hey Rockettman23,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Windows. I also understand that you have already attempted to reinstall iTunes. You can use the steps in this resource to further isolate the issue to user-specific or system-wide:

  • Itunes stops working after itunes match runs.

    After I open Itunes and it does the Itunes Match it stops working. I have the most recent version, I have ran all the diagnostics I can on my end. Any clues? Extremely frustrated right now.

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • Itunes stops working after update windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit and recently updated to itunes 12. After a few minutes itunes crashed with the "has stopped working" message. I have reinstalled, created a different user account and got rid of all other Apple programs all to no avail. I even reinstalled itunes 11 but it would not recognise my library. This is driving me mad. Seems I'm not the only one. suggestions please!!

  • Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

    Satellite A205-SP5818
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
    Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
    Then reboot the unit.
    After that windows will ask you for an driver.
    You can download this driver:
    [SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
    You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
    This should helps to get the SD card reader working again

  • Mic has stopped working after iOS 7 upgrade ?

    After the upgrade to iOS7 the microphone on my ipad has mysteriously stopped working. Any fixes?

    I had the same problem and i found the solution here, its ridiculous but it solves it
    iOS 7 now requires applications to specifically request access to the microphone, and a new “Microphone” section under the Privacy controls allow users to view a list of those apps that have requested access and toggle the access on and off for each app, similar to how other the other privacy options work.

  • Toupad Tapping and Scrolling stopped working after Windows 10 Upgrade

    Hi, I upgraded my OC to Windows 10 today, after the upgrade tapping and scrolling stopped working on the synaptics touchpad. the toucpad only finctions as a pointer now. for taps/Clicks i always have to use the buttons below the touchpad. It was working fine before the upgrade, the earlier OS was Windows 7 I have checked for driver updates but i get a message that the drvier is up to date.I have check the device setting and confirmed that tapping and scrolling is enabled.I have also done a device reset. Nothing solved the problem, i also did not find a relevant answer on the forums.Also, the same problem did not happen with my other HP laptop (Notebook PC) which was also upgraded to windows 10 recently. Does anyone have a solution? Regards,Siddharth. 

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  What you will need to do is the run the Windows Update Fixer tool.  Here is a link to help you with that.  Make sure you run all updates including optional. Fix Microsoft Windows Update Issues If that fails to work the only other option is to roll your system back to the original supported operating system that came with your notebook. Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

  • ITunes stops working after launch.

    I have iTunes installed on a PC running Windows 7. I have just installed the latest iTunes update. Now within 15 seconds of starting iTunes I receive an error message: "iTunes has stopped working" and the program closes. I have tried rebooting the PC, and re-downloading the software from Apple without success. any ideas?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • SD reader on macbook pro retina stopped working after mountain lion upgrade

    I tried to use the SD reader on my new MacBook Pro Retina tonight and I can insert the SD card and the mac does not see it. It worked prior to my upgrading to mountain lion. Any ideas?

    I also have a Mac Pro Retina and have the exact same problem after upgrading.  I will say that despite the SD card not showing up on my desktop or in the finder window, I am able to import to Lightroom 4 with no problems and I get an error message when i withdraw it, asking me to "EJECT IT PROPERLY".  APPLE! Please help us.
