ITunes will not launch in Windows 7

I have had iTunes on my windows 7 PC for some time. Today it would not open when I tried to launch it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have also tried all the recommended fixes in the Apple Support Center.
I do not know what to do next.

Now nothing happens when launching iTunes. No messages appear.
Could you check something further for me, please? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

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.

Itunes will not launch in windows 8, what can I do to fix this?

I've been trying to fix my itunes which hasn't opened for a month. I've unistalled all Apple software, reconfigured my settings and memory, but nothing seems to work. Please help!

Thanks for getting back to me; i was not able to get to the computer until now.
No, not thru web access; it is via the Outlook provided thru Microsoft Office.

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

I was having the same problem. I went into Control Panel and repaired quicktime, and now i am able to open itunes. hope this works for you!

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 on Win 7 32-bit

It was working fine a week and a half ago when I used it last, but now iTunes will not launch. It just shows up in the task manager Processes tab and nothing in the Applications tab. I have followed the instructions provided here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
and still nothing. I have also done a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and Quicktime. I am pretty much at the end of my rope and I am hoping someone has a suggestion that works.

We could try renaming the APSDaemon.exe file.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
On a 32-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files" folder.
On a 64-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
Rename the APSDaemon.exe file APSDaemonDISABLED (or something like that).
Does that stop the iTunes issue?

TS1717 I tunes 10.7 will not launch on windows 7

I tunes 10.7 will not launch in windows 7

I am having the same problem. Like me, so many posts describe days of work with little to show for it. I have read numerous "solutions" but none work or work fully.
Here we have two of the most influential computer companies in the world: APPLE and MICROSOFT, and hundreds of posts with people asking for help in connecting their Iphone to Windows7, or in getting Itunes under devices, to show their connected IPhone when it does not do so.
You would think that Apple and Windows would have solved this problem and developed wizards to help their customers, but if they have done so, none of the many posts I have read make any mention of it.
Like many who have written on their attempts to solve the problem I have installed and reinstalled Itunes, disabled USB devices, and so one.
I am as interested in understanding what the technical problem(s) are as I am in solving my problem.
Windows has managed to recognize literally thousands of devices yet when I connect my IPHONE 4s (presumably one of millions sold) it is silent. That is as amazing to me as it is frustrating.
If anyone ever gets this figured out a gold star to you, and please contact [email protected]
Thankyou,

I installed updates, Force Quit itunes and now iTunes will not launch

I installed updates on my Mac. In order to complete the process, a window telling me to Force Quit itunes came up. I did so and now iTunes will not launch??
Help!

Try deleting all your music by going into settings>general>usage>music. Then re-download them from iTunes by going in to iTunes on your iPhone>more>purchased>music.

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

Any one had this issue
Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
