Itunes will not launch after fresh install and repeated re-installs

I've been browsing around the forums here and the support system hoping for an answer to this question.
On Monday my hard drive died and I had to buy a new one. I reinstalled windows and itunes among other things. I have a brand new Video Ipod as well. I haven't even had a chance to plug it in!
Itunes worked for about 2 days and suddenly stopped working. I mean literally, if I double click on the icon and start up the program, it immediately crashes and asks me if I want to send an Error report.
I removed and reinstalled and rebooted about 3 times to no avail. I re-downloaded Itunes + quicktime just in case there was something wrong with the installer. This did not fix the problem.
I then tried messing with my "sound" settings as suggested by support and people on the forums. I can not find the option to change my sound output to 1400000khz or whatever. Nor does changing my system to "Speaker mode headphones" fix the issue as suggested by apple here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304318
Quicktime is also screwed up and will not load on websites. It shows an icon in my taskbar but when I click on it, nothing happens. Even if Itunes is uninstalled, the icon still shows up in the tray. I cannot delete the folders or find any option in Uninstall programs to remove it.
As a last resort, I rolled my system back to Monday when I had just installed Windows, default drivers and SP2. A clean system. I then installed Itunes as the very first program and surprise - it crashed upon opening.
I have no idea what to do at this point. Without Itunes my ipod is almost usless.

The quote below is from a previous thread where several people solved your same problem with the stated technique. Maybe it will work for you. Good Luck.
iTunes 7.0.2 FIX ("Have tried all 'fixes' suggested but iTunes STILL not opening").
1. Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime.
2. Do a search in the C:\ drive for "QuickTime". Delete EVERYTHING that pops up.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Install QUICKTIME ONLY
5. THEN install iTunes......and IT WORKS.....Just remember to install QuickTime FIRST.

    My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

    I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
    iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
    Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.    

  • ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

    iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
    then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
    iTunes current version
    on imac w/10.6.8

    I have the same issue.
    Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
    Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
    The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
    Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
    Thanks!

  • Itunes will not launch after latest update 2/2014

    Just installed latest update for iTunes on 2/21/2014 on my MBP running snow leopard and after restarting MBP iTunes will not  launch.
    Thank you
    MacBook Pro
    Late 2008 unibody running Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Yes, first, I would run Disc Utility; Verify Disc, Verify Disc Permissions, & Repair Disc Permissions.
    Then I would go here > http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ for the .dmg file download.
    Then I would reinstall iTunes. So, unless you do not have enough free space on your hard drive, that should work.
    Otherwise, it may be time for some spring cleaning...

  • FireFox has stopped working and will not run after fresh install

    Yesterday I noticed that the address bar was not working and the graphics were not being shown correctly. When I typed in the address bar it would no atuto complete and even if i typed yahoo.com nothin would happen. The only way I could go to a website was to use my bookmarks.
    I did a fresh install and now it doesn't work at all. So, I uninstalled firefox and then did a fresh install. Sill nothing. IE, Chrome, and Safari work fine.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Itunes will not launch after upgrade or reinstall

    I was on itunes and the message popped up asking if i would like to upgrade and install a new version of itunes. I clicked okay. After this was done, I have been unable to launch itunes to update my ipod. I have tried to uninstall both itunes & Quicktime and then re-install both. I have also tried to clear out the temp files, however, I get the following error message...
    Cannot delete hpodvd09.log; It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using this file and try again.
    Can anyone help me? I am fairly new to itunes. Thank you in advance.

    Hello Pac80 or anybody else...I took your advice (see below script) on a similar problem you assisted on last week.
    I unfortunately am still not be successful in getting access to itunes..any more suggestions?..
    1. after I load the upgrade from itunes on my system, i get a dialog box saying "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    2. also i get "error 1905 model C:/Program files/itunes..."
    any further advise would be greatly appreciated...cheers..M2
    Goto control panel>add and remove in windows and
    uninstall itunes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll
    down to the section "Clean up iTunes installer files
    on the computer"
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Now disable your antivirus and security programs,
    then goto apple.com and download AND SAVE itunes to
    your PC.
    Once done goto the location you saved it and double
    click it to install.
    If it still will not open, scan your system with
    Ewido www.ewido.com for a piece of adware called
    Qoologic

  • ITunes will not work on Fresh INstall of Vista x64 SP1

    I have a strange issue. I have a Windows Vista x64 with SP1 (Yes the DVD is a production DVD from Microsoft not a slip stream copy.) and I wanted to do a fresh install of Vista with SP1. Reinstalled OS and everything is running great but iTunes. When I start iTunes I get this error message about "mssip32.dll" being damaged or corrupt please reinstall the app. So I looked around good old Google and apple.com. I found several fixes about re-registering a set of dll files. So did them all, no change. Reinstalled Vista from scratch again, no change. So for the heck of it I reinstalled Vista with no SP1 installed and then applied SP1 and it works fine. I reinstalled Vista with SP1 and have been running it for over a week and everything on the system is tested and solid as a rock with no issues. The only program that will not work is iTunes. I have also tried all the way back to version 7.4 and no luck.
    Any ideas on this?

    Read this scary microsoft support article on windows updates?

  • Itunes will not launch after upgrading to 11.1.5 with my 10.6.8 mac book pro

    as soon as I upgraded to the new itunes, when clicking on the icon in the dock I noticed the icon bounced up and down once but itunes never opened up. Tried it latter in the day and it still would not open. My operating system is 10.6.8and I have the current apple updates installed up to this date today. the funny thing is I waited on the itunes update, and then decided to go ahaead and upgrade and soon as I did, well you know what happened. If I could ask a second question, what if I just went back to the original software version when I bought this computer, would I have less problems. I tried this earlier because of problems with flash and my nikon software needed the apple upgrades to work (they no longer make the older version). BUt when I worked it on the original software everything worked great (no nikon) but I could not see the videos on youtube, and other internet content on various sites. So my question is, if I decide to cut and run back to my old home, how could I solve the the flash problem or could I just get an earlier version of flash? My mac book pro I beleive came with 10.6.4, or what ever they had about three years ago around November. But this itunes thing is really bothering me and if I can fix this then I will avoid any further iupgrades even if someone puts a gun to my head. Just kidding. Thank you again for your help

    My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
    Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

  • TS3540 ITunes will not open after re-install

    I followed the instructions from this article after trying to sync iTunes with iPhone5.  I finished the second set  of steps downloading http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    After restarting a couple of times, it still will not open.  The icon in the Dock has a question mark superinposed on it.
    Now what do I do?  All of this just to get message groups/email lists to be on the new phone.  Yikes!

    Well, after reading more posts and not getting any answers here, I kept fidgeting and discovered that while the Dock iTunes icon did not work, going through the App folder and then adding the icon to the Dock did work.  The iPhone5 did sync while plugged into power - not having to be directly connected to the iMac.  So far so good.  Still figuring out how to get the groups to show up.

  • Final cut will not launch after fcs2 install (successful)

    I have just installed FCS2 and unpon launching the software. It gives an option to relaunch but that doesn't work. I've tried searching in the threads and haven't gotten anywhere.
    I just updated to Leopard doing about a month ago doing a clean install, not an erase and install.
    This is error message I am getting
    Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)

    Any help?
    Thanks

    Ok, here's what happened I needed the Pro Applications Update 2007-2, when I did a software update search it never gave that as an option. I had to discover it by looking through the error details and going in to the FCS2 section of Apples site and download it from there. I didn't even know that it would be the right update but it appears to be, Final Cut just loaded for the first time.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Firefox will not open after fresh install in OSX Lion. "Firefox profile missing."

    After recently upgrading OS X Snow leopard to OS X 10.7 Lion I downloaded and ran the Firefox installer package, only to find that Firefox could not open. The error message says "Profile missing – Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"
    I checked Firefox forums and found a script that when run in Terminal allows access to the (upper) Library folder; but this still does not solve the issue.
    Obviously, with Lion Apple has deliberately placed a stumbling block in the way of would-be Firefox users.

    Thank you. I solved the dilemma, which was one of my own making although I take no blame for it. You see, a while back I grew tired of going through the semantics of manually deleting Caches and Cookies and simply locked those folders (in Users/my name/Library) so that nothing could be added or removed from them without login credentials.
    . . . There's where the fly got into the ointment. The Caches folder must be unlocked in order to run Firefox because it uses Caches to store files. Folder unlocked – problem solved.
    It seems that OS X Lion has more warts than its predecessors (initially, at least), in that where Apple once gave the user full egress to all venues, it has developed a hard-nosed, up-in-your-face micro-managerial stance with Lion – such as making the System/Library invisible. This, of course, under the tacit label of "offering the user greater security" . . . against himself.
    If you fully embrace that logic I've got some s. Florida realty I can dump I mean sell you on the cheap, lol.
    I appreciate your kind help.
    Thanks.
