ITunes will not open no matter what solution I use

When I click on the iTunes shortcut it gives me a message stating: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvienience." I called apple a couple times and there was no single solution to my problem yet. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Try a blast from an airduster into the socket

from a post by @davshirley
In my case it was an easy fix. Take a wooden toothpick and reach up inside the connector on the iphone5 and remove the pocket lint that collects in the socket. Once it is cleaned out, everything works good as new.

When you gte requests to locate iTunes.msi like this, the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility usually fixes it.
Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall of iTunes.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

"The procedure entry point xmlITexTextReaderName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dlll." Please let me know if your know anything! It is greatly apprecitated!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Firefox will not maximize. Covers about 1/2 of my monitor and will not max, no matter what method I use. How do I correct this?

My firefox screen is filling only about 1/2 my monitor screen. I cannot maximize it no matter what method I use (F11, manual click & drag on corner). I have rebooted; no change.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I opened Firefox this morning. Has never happened before.

ITunes will not install no matter what I do!

When I try to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop computer, it says "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\pl.lproj\ViewLineItemLP.png. Verify that you have access to that directory." and will not install. I once had iTunes on this computer; but when I got my iPhone I needed to update and from then on it's been a nightmare! It would not update, and then I uninstalled it hoping to reinstall it. Well, it never reinstalled. I've tried clearing the Temp folder, uninstalling everything iTunes, and running as Admin. What else can I do?

Deal Emalve,
Try change the path from C: to any other directory and then install..
Hope that works out.

IPhoto will not open, no matter what I try

My iMac is running on OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 and when I click iPhoto all the happens is the program pops up and just the gray lined circle appears like it is loading and then nothing happens. It stays "loading" for hours. I have tried restarting the computer I have tried holding down option while opening, and nothing is changing. I didn't download anything and have no idea why this is happening. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated because I am freaking out just a little . Thank you so much for any help!

Then you need more disk space - you may need to buy an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and move your iPhoo library to it -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

New tabs will not open no matter what I do, how can I fix this?

I keep trying to open a blank new tab by using "ctrl + t", as well as, file > new tab and neither is working.

ITunes will not download no matter what.

Recently, an error message on my computer popped up saying something about the registry and that I would need to reinstall iTunes. Fair enough. Not a bother. I uninstall iTunes and then go to download it from the site. I go to click on the installer in my desktop, and there's nothing. Okay, I think, maybe it's just taking a long time to download. So I wait about half an hour and check. Nothing.
I go back to the site. I re-download it. I check my download log - it doesn't register as having downloaded, even though I QUITE DISTINCTLY DID SO TWICE.
I look for support. I remove all traces of iTunes and Apple software from my computer (as per suggested), restart, try to download. Nothing. I get no error messages, nothing is telling me I can't do that, that it's an illegal operation or anything like that. The site tells me I've downloaded it, but nothing is getting to my computer.
This is getting ridiculous. Why is it that no matter how many times I tell the site to download iTunesSetup64x.exe, it won't do it? Why is this? I demand an explanation for this.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

ITunes will NOT open since updates.

I dont know what it's problem is but im getting sick of it.
iTunes will not open no matter how many times I click it. I get the little circle loading icon for about 1 second then nothing happens.
I have uninstalled and re-instaled and it's still the same.
I have rebooted my laptop a thousand times and it's still the same.
I have uninstalled EVERYTHING apple related and reinstalled... guess what, still the same.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? -- Did they manage to overcome it?
Normally I wouldnt care but because its Apple, everything goes through iTunes so when it doesnt want to work -- Nothing else will work.
It just doesnt seem to want to boot up.
I'd appreciate your help in this.
Many thanks.

No message just a momentary flicker as it attemped to open.
When I plug in Iphone I can download photos, that is all

Hello James,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
From what you are describing, I have 2 recommendations. First, troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue after the interrupted update:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
If the issue persists after followign the article, I would next download iTunes from the download page, and install it.

Take care,

What is going on - my itunes will not open?

All of a sudden, my Itunes will not open? Have uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. no difference...

SO you get no error message when you try to launch iTunes, Just a brief flash of the hour glass then nothing?
After trying to launch iTune, go to the task manager and look to see if you can see iTunes.exe running on the processes tab.
If so, here is a troubleshooting method for this particular type of launch failure. This is a diagnostic process aimed at finding the cause of the problem. You will need to post pack with information about what happened when you tried the various steps. Once the cause of the problem is identified, we can look for a solution.
===
Troubleshooting silent launch failure in Windows XP
Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
A couple of simple things to try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
Start>>Run>>Services.msc
you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7. iTunes will not open. It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later. I've tried reinstalling each of them. No success. Don't know what to try next.

QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.
