Uninstall iTunes using this KB: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Once that is done it should work. Make sure you have SP2 installed. If you still experience the issue, try installing iTunes, then running it on a different user on your computer.

  • HT1199 iTunes unable to open due to DEP

    I am unable to open iTunes after installing due to Data Prevention Execution program preventing it from opening iTunes.  I have clicked on the DEP to allow iTunes to open and restarted the PC, still same problem remains. Your advice on this? Thanks!

    I then decided to try to 'reconstruct' my iTunes library, following the support guides, by holding the option key when opening iTunes and selecting 'Create New Library'
    Did iTunes work well, when you created a new, empty library in your account? If yes, then the database files xml, itl from your current iTUnes Library are probably corrupted. Can you restore them from your most recent backup?

    Apple support did not have file or process available to backoff to previous itunes version v11.1.3 to allow recovery so itunes could continue use with no problems as before this new upgrade.

    If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
    HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
    HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

  • Itunes unable to open because of audio configuration

    I recently installed windows updates for XP as well as itunes updates. Ever since then I receive the following message: "itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." I tried to repair itunes as well as reinstall itunes with the new version and I still get the same message. I also reviewed my audio config in windows and nothing is different from before. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thanks!

  • I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 and I am unable to open iTunes on my phone - the screen just never loads.

    I installed iOS7 on my iPhone5 and now I am unable to open iTunes - the screen just stays blank.
    I have checked date and time and wifi settings.
    Not sure what else to do.
    I do have iMatch active on my device and its working fine on my other iPohne with iOS7 installed.
    Any help please!

    Have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in ? If it's still the same after that then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT5654 when I go to my Itunes update I am unable to open because of the message MSVCR80 is missing...which is why I am doing the research...to discover how to recover the missing file.

    I keep getting the familiar message "MSVCR80  file is missing...I have read that the most recent update of I-tunes around January had a compatibility issue with Windows 7.  Consequently the updates did not load properly.  I am unable to open my I-Tunes Updates because of this stated file missing.  Like a dog chasing its own tail.     I have seen several suggestions including copying my I-Tunes tunes and totally dumping I-Tunes and all related files then downloading it as new. I also read that I may cause other programs to have issues  as some files are shared across programs/apps and so removing ALL of I-Tunes can cause loss of operation of other apps .  Can anyone verify the latter and assist with the initial problem of getting rid of the message regarding MSVCR80 with a good and lasting fix?

  • I just updated my itunes and now I am unable to open any of my songs... please help me.

    i just updated my itunes and now I am unable to open any of my songs... please help me. Every time i click it, it says it cannot be read because it was made by a newer version of itunes.

    Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
    IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
    Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
    Then:
    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.
    Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

    so how do I get the same apps for my macbook pro? or is that not possible?
    Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

  • I am unable to open the latest update (10.4) iTunes not properly configured

    when I attempt to open it says iTunes was not properly configured and then close - I can't reinstall 10.2 since 10.4 in installed; it won't repair because mid-way thorugh it pops up "itunesresources is not an accessible file... make sure you have access to this file" and stops the repair.
    any thoughts?
    I HAVE used 10.4 since upgrading - I shut down my computer; when I rebooted a few days later, this is what happened...

    Hey there Mambo822,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after installing a recent update. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
      iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
