ITunes was installed but it can't be opened

I downloaded and installed iTunes, but when I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "The iTunes application could not be opened. The file name was invalid or too long". I don't understand this because, at no time, did I create a file name.
Also, I am in the process of moving my iTunes setup from an older Windows XP computer to a more up to date computer. I have copied all of my music and videos to a portable hard drive so that I can add them to iTunes when I am able to open it (see above).
Lastly, I paid for a music video from iTunes and it is listed as being downloaded but I didn't receive it because a message said that I needed a newer version of itunes (version 8.1) in order to download the music video. The catch 22 situation is that the "old" computer was unable to up grade to 8.1. Hopefully, when I get the new setup working, I will be able to download the music video. Why would iTunes charge me for a video that I really didn't receive? Shouldn't it have realized that my "old" computer could not download/play the video and told me this BEFORE I paid for it?????
Please help me with these issues.
Thanks,

  • I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) and am running Windows 7, Itunes will not open and I get an error message about Microsoft runtime and I get an error R6034 and 1114 which says Itunes was installed incorrectly. Can anyone help?

    I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) update and am running Windows 7.  Itunes will not run after installing this update and I receive an error message R6034 on Loading Microsoft C Runtime Library incorrectly.  Also Error message 1114 the Itunes Installer was installed incorrectly.  Is there an new update for this problem? Is anyone else having this problem?  Please help.  Thanks.

    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.

  • I attempted to download a previousy purchased app. It says it was installed but I can not find it on my iPad 2.

    How can I find an app, that was installed ?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and searched for it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? Also have you set an age rating limit via Settings > General > Restrictions which is hiding it ?
    Otherwise try a reset and see if it appears after the iPad has restarted : 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS1717 Itunes re-installed but not opening

    Itunes was running on my Windows 7, 64 bit, Core I7 laptop, but it stopped recognizing my ipod touch.  WIndows would see the device, but not Itunes.  So I checked the Apple support site and it suggested totally uninstalling Itunes and Quick Time and associated components and re-installing.  I downloaded the latest Itunes and installed, but I can't get it to open.  WHen I click Itunes, after about 30 seconds I see a message "The file 'Itunes Library.Itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of Itunes".  After that message I see diskactivity for another minute or 2, but I tunes never opens.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times but the results are the same.  Any ideas?

    You will find the Photoshop program installed in your Applications folder.  It sounds like you are opening the installer instead of Photoshop itself.

  • HT4623 my ipad can no longer acces itunes store after iso 7 was installed... can i go back to ixo6

    i can no longer access itunes store after iso 7 was installed... can i go back to iso 6

    No you can't.
    Reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME for up to 30 seconds, until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data settings.  When your iPad restarts see if you can access iTunes.

  • I have Creative Cloud installed and Photoshop installed, but I can not open the program itself. No idea why, everything is up to date and i was using it just fine yesterday.

    Try resetting Photoshop Preferences.   Use your Photoshop start icon to launch Photoshop and immediately press and hole Shift+Ctrl|CMD+Alt|Option keys   Photoshop should Prompt you with Do you want your Preferences deleted. Reply yes.   Photoshop should then delete your user ID preferences and then create a default set of preferences for your ID and start successfully.

  • ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

    For some reason this happens to some people.  The one thing that works is to reboot your iPad.  To reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad wil restart.  Once it's back up, I'm betting you'll see iBooks.

  • TS3074 Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

    My windows was down but I can't find the CD for windows XP home edition. I tried to call the local repair center and they said they only solve the hardward problem. Anyone knows where I should ask for help or where I can get the CD for windows XP home edition. I did find the key at the back of my T60. But why can't I find the CD?
    Many thanks and waiting online.

    Open iTunes and then connect you to the iTunes store
    and on the right you will see "Purchased"
    and it will show you all the app that you have purchase during the years , and on right corner of the page you can choose to download everything again

  • My ipad was stolen but i dont have icloud open on my ipad. Is there anything else i can do to either locate the phone or lock up all of my personal information.

    My ipad was stolen but i dont have icloud open on my ipad.  Is there anything else i can do to either locate my ipad or lock it up so that my personal information is not available.

    Unfortunately not, you can only try to locate it if Find My iPad was enabled on it and the iPad is currently connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police, and if it was a cellular model you should also contact your carrier. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
