ITunes will not launch if it is not in Compatibility mode.

I am running Windows 7 64bit and whenever I try and open iTunes regularly, it crashes and fails to launch.
However, when I put it in Compatibility mode (XP SP3), it works fine at the cost of the features of Aero
Are there any fixes for this?

I too, could kiss your feet! I had to scrub my work computer, and I can't work without muzak. It was driving me crazy!!!! You have saved me a large amount of sanity.
Thanks! Have a great day!!

    please help
    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • Itunes will not launch on Windows Vista no error code

    Itunes will not launch on my computer. I have windows vista. I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes repeatedly. I have also tried all of the troubleshooting tips available on the apple support site. But none of them worked. Quicktimes works fine. It is just itunes. I even opened up task manager to check the processes and itunes appears for about a second in the processes tab then just disappears. I have no idea what to do i have an iphone 3gs and havent updated it for a few months now and cannot sync my iphone without itunes. I Have kaspersky internet protection but i doubt thats the problem because itunes was working fine until i updated it.PLEASE HELPPPPPP!

    Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
    As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
    Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
    However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.

  • TS1717 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?

    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, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)

    Itunes will not launch, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)
    Yeah

    OK, so i cannot enter into iTunes safe mode, whilst monitoring proccesses in the task manager I noticed that itunes will only stay open if i keep my fingers on shift and control-i dont know if that is worth mentioning- the proccess promptly ends after the release of the said keys, (I tried both the shift control keys on either side of the keyboard-same result) so i am stuck there.
    P.S.
    This version of iTunes had previously worked before, I uninstalled everything apple related after noticing how many processes (-id est-) /applications, were using up my memory.
    afterwards I had need for iTunes, (i needed to wipe my iDevice) I reinstalled and this problem has arisen.

  • TS1717 iTunes will not auto-launch like it used to on Win7. Also cannot start in SAFE mode

    I've had this computer & this installation of iTunes for a very long time. It has always worked perfectly, and will auto-start every time I connect the iPhone. (my iPhone would light up and display the "Sync in Progress" message on its screen)
    The last few times I've connected it (same phone, same cord, same USB port, same comp., same install of Win7, no Library changes, no new components, no AntiVirus changes - nothing different) iTunes will NOT launch, and the Sync wil not take place.
    But...
    If -- after connecting the iPhone -- I manually launch iTunes, it proceeds normally thru the various steps except that the iPhone does NOT display any messages on its screen.  I've tried several times, and re-booted the comp several times.  I've also followed the Apple T/S steps and deleted the two config files & re-booted.  No difference.
    Yes - the preferences are set to allow the Sync when I plug in the iPhone.
    Yes - I am the only user.
    Yes - I am using a working cable...into a working USB port.
    No - I have no third party add-ons or extensions.
    One odd thing:
    On the many, many previous occasions that I've opened the list of Running Applications...iTunesHelper.exe has been opne of the various apps running on the computer.  Lately that app has vanished from the list, and...
    No - I have not un-checked it in the STARTUP list.

    Well...I was partially-blind.
    I had a second look at my MSCONFIG list...and 'waay down at the bottom was iTunesHelper...with its checkbox clear.  oops.
    I ticked it of course, and then manually launched iTunesHelper.exe and re-connected the iPhone.  iTunes auto-launched, and (as usual) it stepped thru the various stages like it's supposed to, but still no pop-up message on the iPhone screen.
    Now I'm wondering if that came to an end when I made the jump to the iPhone5 from iPhone4(?) because it certainly seems to be syncing alright...just no pop-up on the iPhone's screen.

  • Itunes will not launch, it shows  message of "itunes library .itl" can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I tried opene it in save mode but I had the same problem.

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

  • TS1386 itunes will not launch in XP because: "itunes library.lit cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"

    itunes will not launch in XP because: "itunes library.itl.cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"
    Is this an apple problem or a computer problem? If I reinstall itunes will my library still be there?

    Uninstall and reinstall the Apple software.  See the following.  That link also has a link for Win7 and Vista.

  • 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 10.6 Snow Leopard

    I just upgraded to 10.6 last night and now my iTunes will not launch. I removed all my extra plugins and am trying to start fresh. Here's the error message that pops up in the Console:
    8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] [Deprecated] CocoaJava: com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime
    8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] -[NSJavaVirtualMachine initWithClassPath:] FATAL: cannot initialize ObjCJava. Exit

    Any ideas?

    OK, this solution worked for me:
    Quit all programs, force-quit iTunes if it is locked up.
    Disconnect any iPhone or iPods
    Go to: Macintosh HD/users/"your user name"/library/preferences, and drag to trash the preference panels: with itunes in the name: including>com.apple.iTunes.plist, com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    Download iTunes 8.2.1 from theApple website,
    Run the iTunes 8.2.1 installer
    It will have you set up iTunes as if for the first time.
    Launch iTunes after it is set up, it will take a bit as it creates new prefence files.
    Quit iTunes>restart the mac>Launch iTunes and after it loads plug in your iPod or iPhone.

  • TS1717 Since the upgrade to version 11 ITunes will not launch I'm running Windows 7

    Since upgrading to version 11 ITunes will not launch I have removed and reloaded again but it still will not launch.

  • Yosemite working but iTunes will not launch

    Finally got Yosemite running OK on my MBP even though I could not redownload it from the App Store.  iTunes has not been working through this whole ordeal so that is not surprising (I thought).  But I just did a complete download of the Yosemite Installer so they must be separate.  iTunes will not launch.  The icon is in the Dock and it will bounce three times when I click it but it won't launch/open.   Can this be fixed by launching the Yosemite Install app now in my Application folder?  I haven't found a way to download/reinstall iTunes separately.  I had/have iTunes 12.0.1.

    I have had this problem, I even went into package contents to Macos folder, ane when I launched from there, it seems that Itunes is not conecting to a server, and hence times out with the spinning wheel of death so no matter how many tiles i uninstall and re install, it keeps coming back to this?

  • SW upgrade wiped out my iTunes library and also now iTunes will not launch

    I just completed the recommended Sw upgrade for iTunes and now iTunes will not launch and my iTunes library is TOTALLY EMPTY.
    Clearly, I am NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. I have lost a substantial investment of $$ and time in losing my iTunes library - so Apple should be paying me for my loss.
    I need help, can you, will you help me?  I want my iTunes library back and I'd like to reinstall the previous version of iTunes, because it worked fine.

    You don't say which versions so we don't know to which version you wish to revert.  Reverting won't get back your library anyway, if it is truly gone.
    Have you checked if your library is truly gone?  Have you looked in the iTunes folder and the media folder inside of it?  The library has two main components, all the media files for the individual tracks and the iTunes Library.itl file which give them the structure you see in iTunes.  Sometimes iTunes just loses track of the library file which can be re-linked, and what's really important anyway are the media files.
    If the library is truly gone you can restore it from the backups you make of your computer.  Backups are a responsibility of any computer owner ever since computers were invented.  If you don't have backups then it may be possible to redownload items purchased from the iTunes Store.
    I know I have glossed over some of this but it's not worth going into details on how to do all the different things until we know precisely what it is that needs doing.
