ITunes will not open for whatever reason

I am confused as to why my iTunes hates me so much. I was able to use iTunes for a long time. I've used it with my old iPod and now with my touch. I use my iPod all the time. I want to buy more apps and add more music, but it randomly staopped working after I tried adding two movies that I downloaded onto it. I dragged them and was putting them on like any other movie or song and it usually works, but this time it just closed. After that, it never opened up again. I tried opening it by plugging in my iPod and iI tried opening it multiple other random ways. I unistalled it and tried redownloading it several times and it still resists working. Sometimes it even loads for a minute and never pops up. Sometimes I get a message when turning off my computer and it tells me that it is not responding. I do not know what to do with it. I really just wanna add more music and stuff. This is really making me mad. Its been like this for about 3 or 4 weeks.

Hey Katrina, My itunes sometimes had a mind of it's own. Would not or might take forever to open. I had to defragement my computer every other day to fun faster. Itunes desktop speed is much faster then most. Go to crucial.com and have your computer tested for free. they will run diagnostics and recommend simple, simple to install memory chip. Believe me you and a friend can install new faster memory chip. EASY try it or clear your desktop of unused shortcut Icons. Good luck duwaaper

Where's a smart person when you need one? My iphoto just will not open for no reason at all(I REALLY NEED HELP)

I have not done anything strange like changing something in my computer or IPhoto. One day it just decided not to open. I dont have my photos backed up from IPhoto and I really need the photos on there and Iphoto itself to graduate in two weeks.
I will click on Iphoto and it'll jump twice, open but it will be totally blank white and immediately have the spinning rainbow wheel and it never loads. I'll then put my mouse over the icona nd it'll say "IPhoto not responding" and everytime I have to force quit. I really dont understand what happened.
I have googled for days variations of "My Iphoto will not open" and none of what people are saying helps at all because all of them have done something to mess up their apps. I really really need help, please, its got to be something so simple because I didnt change anything on my computer.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

ITunes will not open - for no obvious reason!

Yesterday morning iTunes stopped opening on my computer. I downloaded the new version a few days ago but I'm pretty sure I had used it since then and that it had worked. My computer seems to think about opening it, as it makes all the usual computing noises, but then nothing happens. I've tried re-installing it too, which apparently seems to work OK, except it still won't work! Any suggestions? Ta, Rob

When I click to open it, my pointer turns to a small pointer and a small hourglass together for a few seconds. My computer makes the usual noises it makes when opening something, only for slightly longer. Then the normal pointer returns to normal and nothing has happened.
I tried pressing ctrlaltdelete to see what's going on, and there are processes labelled as "iTunesHelper.exe" and "iPodService.exe" running, should I try closing either of those, or are they not to do with this? There is no mention of iTunes proper itself.
Quicktime opens just as usual and works fine.
I had a look through the link you offered but I don't think any of the suggestions applied to me. I appreciate your efforts!

My iphoto will not open for some reason. the cursor just keeps running...been using this for 3 years with no problem. It started doing this after I tried to load some photos from a camera I have successfully used before

I cannot open my Iphoto on my macbook pro. I have used it for three years with no problem. However, after trying to load some pictures from my camera it seems to have frozen up. I force quit it and have not been able to get past the opening blank window since ...cursor still blinking as if it is downloading or trying to open.

What version of iPhoto?

ITUNES WILL NOT OPEN for windows XP. ive tried everything

I have deleted all known uploads of quicktime and itunes and reloaded them...many different versions. Currently i have the 8.0 itunes and 7.2 quicktime because I read the new quicktime wasnt compatible but the problem with that is when I downloaded the new itunes it already comes with quicktime...? where do I start. In the taskmanager it shows itunes as running when I restart the computer before it turns off it shows that itunes.exe is ending...

Hey jonathon,
Try installing the latest version of iTunes again. If the launch issues persists, try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421

HT1751 Hi, for some reason my itunes will not open.

Hi,
For some reason my itunes will not open. It says that some required files are missing & to reinstall itunes. Is there a way to find out what files? I've tried to reinstall several times and then I got a Runtime error #R6034. Does anyone have any ideas?
TIA

Hello lford64,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. You can find the full article here:

I have not heard of a good reason for this to happen or how to fix. 3 days later my screen lights up and says to connect to charger.... so its back "for now". Best music player on the market when it works.

I have just had my computer fixed because of viruses but my itunes will not open. The message comes up 'itunes has encountered a problem etc.' Also my library showing music and apps for my ipad is not there.

Remove and re-install iTunes. This has no affect on the media that is stored on the computer.
That being said, depending on what was done, it may also be necessary to restore the iTuneslibrary.itl file from the backup of the computer.

HT204406 i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open on this mac. is there a fix for this?

i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open. how do i get it back??

Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Does your iTunes launch properly now?

My itunes will not open when I click on the icon. An system error appears. "the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Any ideas on how to resolve, I have tried installing

My itunes will not open, it displays an error that MSVCR80.dll is missing. I tried reinstalling itunes but it fails because the service is not able to start.

Same thing happened to me. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/. If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and I don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to be sure that it will work on your first try, use internet explorer when you download itunes. Good LUCK!!
