Itunes stopped working, won't open

I don't know what changed, as I had updated to Itunes 5.0 a few days ago and it continued to work fine, but as of this morning I am unable to open iTunes. Whenever I try to, it tells me that there is an unknown error. I have tried reinstalling, both with and without an uninstall, and nothing seems to fix my problem

To further comment on this, I've tried uninstalling and using an older version of iTunes, but the old ones tell me there is an error regarding Quicktime, and the only way to reinstall Quicktime is to reinstall the latest version of iTunes.
Is there anything I can do?

  • ITunes stopped working in Vista Ultimate

    My iTunes stopped working, won't even start up in Windows Vista Ultimate. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Nothing works. iTunes 7.3 is dead in the water. Any assistance for this problem? (Besides switching to a Mac?)

    As I posted in many other people's suffering posts....
    in a nutshell....
    Sorry, you and I and a small minority of others have Windows Vista and it simply will NOT work with iTunes, any version of 7.x.
    Apple doesn't seem to care as we aren't a big enough group to care about.
    After several weeks of this nonsense, today I spent most of the afternoon researching other music manager software that will also synch with my iPod.
    It looks like I will be heading that way as this is too ridicious that someone can't deal with this and help us.

    Tried the un-install and getting the same problem although it takes a bit longer before it crashes this time. Checked the problem report and it looks the same as the previous reports.

  • ITunes stops working and closes on opening with Match on, works fine with match off

    iTunes stops working and closes upon opening with Match on, works fine with match off

    I am having the very same problem with iTunes, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and started having the problem after the latest update. I just upgraded to the new 5s and was syncing everything to it, so I figured that I would update my itunes software as well. Which I never do after updating one time and had trouble with it on my old laptop and had to rollback to a older version of itunes. I have tried every suggestion that has been posted in the Apple Discussion area and on other websites no luck what so ever. I figured I will wait till Apple comes out with another update and try again. In the post above I am having the exact problem with iTunes.  I'd love to know what thef-ing problem is because this is extremely annoying!

    I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
    Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
    My big question here is :
    why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
    I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

  • Itunes and safari won't open

    My itunes stopped working after I came back from vacation. I tried uninstalling everything and updating to 10.1 but it won't open. When I click it, it shows up in the task manager for a moment and then disappears with no error messages. Quicktime works fine but when I downloaded and installed safari it won't open either.
    Then I created another user account and tried it there and it doesn't work. It also looks like the plugin for adobe acrobat has stopped working as well. I have to right click and save as to view pdfs. I tried disabling the bonjour service and restarting the computer but it still doesn't work.
    Any ideas? I have windows 7 x64 professional
    Thanks

    Still having the same problem I'm getting a distnoted.exe *32 that pops up in the taskmanager for a short time after trying to open it. I did get this after creating another user account: Itunes has stopped working

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • ITunes stopped working. Error 7 (Windows 127)

    Suddenly iTunes stopped working. 
    At first my HP Pavillion showed the message "Error 7 (Windows 127)". I googled it, and found  a couple of suggestions. I tried to uninstall iTunes and related program files in the right order, but it didn't work. 
    Now I get this message, and it doesn't help to uninstall iTunes. I allready tried it several times. 
    After googling the message above, I tried to open the iTunes setup file with winRAR, but that didn't work either. 
    Now I get this message:
    Something about the procedure point of entry ADAdPolicy... is not found in the DLL-library.
    When I click 'OK' I get the same message, as I did to begin with "Error 7 (Windows 127)". 
    What am I doing wrong?
    I've spend more than 10 hours total, solving this problem, so if anyone can help me, there'll be best wishes and happy thoughts send your way

    Hi @TroelsDanmark ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Pavilion Notebook and not being able to use ITunes. Can get to safe mode with command prompt?  sfc /scannow would scan your system for errors at the command prompt.
    Are you downloading ITunes 12.0.1 for Windows ? Current download available here. 
    Do you have 400MB of available disk space to accommodate the download?
    First, try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
    Restart the computer after this step and try installing again.
    You could try this Microsoft fix.
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes 11.3 won't open

    iTunes 11.3 won't open on 13" Mac Macbook Pro mid 2012  OS X 0.8.2

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

    Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
    This is the error message I get:

    I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

  • ITunes stops responding immediately after opening

    My iTunes stops responding immediately after opening and even force-quit doesn't do.
    Baically it freezes between pressing it and opening the window. In my large library, I can see that it loads it and then nothing more. The menu appears and then the wheel. Force quitting doesn't shut the program, no matter how I do it. It leaves the arrow and the only way is to restart the computer and start again.
    I tried using another account, and it does the same. I tried with a new library. I tried with new prefs folder both on the user and on the Mac HD. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I even tried reinstalling the whole OS X - but nothing. The only thing is that after zapping PRAM it might work once or twice, but no more.
    This is with iTunes 7.0.2, QuickTime 7.1.3 and OS 10.4.8
    I don't know what else to do.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. It started recently - maybe about two weeks ago - and occasionally when I launch iTunes it just freezes. I can't force quit it completely - it still shows in the Dock as though it's running, though it's not present in Activity Monitor.
    Curiously, I've also had a couple of kernel panics when clicking iTunes buttons in the past week. I don't recall any system update that might have affected either iTunes or QuickTime, so I'm stumped... The only way to get iTunes back is to log out or restart.
