Itunes will not open and does not recognize ipod, required itunes component is not installed 42404

Itunes was first getting required itunes component not installed.  Click ok and could go to itunes.  Determined itunes was not recognizing Ipod, computer does.  Itunes diagnostics show problem Ipod not found.  Now Itunes is not opening.  Have installed Itunes again with repair option, then uninstall/install option.
Then manually unintalled Itunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and Application Support.  This is a Windows 7 Toshiba PC.  Has anyone had this happen or have any ideas?

hi bummed! (you do realise that you're stuck with that alias for the forseeable future, don't you?)
B was asking another user if iTunes.exe was appearing and then disappearing in the Task Manager. I am having the oposite issue in that I cannot End Task in the Task Manager on iTunes.exe. What is up?
hmmm. if that's going on, then we'd better check up on these two possibilities first:

keep us posted.

  • I run mac os 10.4.11 and firefox 7 will not open, and I get an error message saying firefox is not supported on this version of mac os. is there a different version I can download? Am I missing something?

    firefox used to work no problem, I updated firefox a few month ago, now firefox will not open and I get the error message as above

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs both OSX 10.5+ and a Intel Mac.
    The last version to work on a Intel Mac using OSX 10.4.* is Firefox 3.6.*

  • After doing a suggested update of itunes on my pc it will not open and gives me a msg saying msvcr80.dll is not on my computer and windows error 126 has occured

    After doing an update of itunes on my pc Itunes will no longer open and gives me a msg about MSVCR80.dll not on my computer and Itunes was installed incorrectly error 7 (windows error 126)

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • I just installed 10.2.2. When I tried to start iTunes, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed to open iTunes. It downloaded and installed Rosetta but iTunes will not open and it no longer has the iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I installed iTunes 10.2.2. When I tried to open it, I got the message that iTunes needs to install Rosetta to open. It then appeared to download and and install Rosetta. When I try to open iTunes, the icon bounces but iTunes does not open. The icon has also changed from the usual iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I have a 2010 MBP15 which I do not use as much as my pc. When I do, I check for updates and I believe I updated iTunes to 10.2.2 a week or so ago. Since I still use iTunes primarily on my pc, I didn't bother firing up the updated iTunes on the mac.
    Last week, when I actually started iTunes on the mac, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed. Like abefighter I stalled. I surfed the net, read this thread to get some hints as to w** was going on.
    When I checked the system profile in the mac, I think it showed PowerPC for 'kind.' Surfing the Internet I found out Rosetta was something needed to help applications work on PowerPCs. But wait, since this MBP is an Intel, why would or should it be asking me for some stone-age plug-in that was never mentioned in all the previous updates for iTunes until now? Fyi, the iTunes icon on the dock had changed to what I think is an AppleWorks icon.
    So, I assumed that the update that resulted in my mac was corrupted. At first I scoured for 10.2.1, thinking that the last version was a dud, but in vain, nowhere to be found. I gave up and settled for a fresh 10.2.2. I did a casual delete, without touching any of the related personal preference files in my folder and it now which works fine. I'm glad I didn't jump to install Rosetta; I read elsewhere about someone who actually went through with the Rosetta install that resulted unhappily.
    Unless the mac in question is a PowerPC, I would doubt the need for Rosetta installation.

  • Firefox will not open and states that its already running. But is not?

    After several opening and closing of Firefox several time it will not open when I click on the desk top icon. A screen will come up that Firefox is already running and that I will have to close it before I can start Firefox. To correct this I have to restart the computer. It will then work ok for a few time but will then not start again.

  • I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

    I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

    you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
    Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

  • I am using windows 7, and it is up to date, mozilla will not open and does not provide error message. Tried new profile, uninstall etc. pls help

    After I uninstall and reinstall Firefox works for a few executions but when I try to run it after about an hour or so it does not respond, does not give me any message. I have deleted my old profile, upon uninstalling I checked the box which asks if I'd like to remove all the previous data. The problem still persists.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 won't open and my iTunes Folder is missing

    My iTunes wouldn't open so I tried removing iTunes and Quicktime along with my iTunes folder, and now iTunes folder won't come back after reinstalling iTunes. Also iTunes won't open still. Any help would be great, thanks!

    i have re-installed / maintenance install and the magical itunes folder in my music has re-appeared, itunes alas will still not open and still claims this folder in my music is not there. i have also deleted that src folder thing mentioned on the support page as a possible problem so that folder is not the cause of my current troubles.

    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.
