ITunes will not open, no message of problems

iTunes does not show up whenever I click on it, and no message of problems comes onto the screen. Absolutely nothing at all happens. Help?

See if QuickTime will open. iTunes uses QT codecs to play everything.
Sometimes QT will give an error message, where iTunes won't.
Also here is an article with lots more ideas to try:

  • Itunes will not open error message- APSDaemon.exe system error

    Running windows 7 never had a problem with iTunes until I tried to downlaod update yesterday...iTunes will not open and have error message 'MSVCR80.dll  APSDaemon.exe system error......
    How do I fix itunes and and the system error?   Thanks

    Murray3703, only one other time did this happen to me.  It was over 6 years back when I had an iPod Nano and after doing the reinstallation, it wiped out all of the content and applications and corrupted by Nano to the point Apple said it could not be fixed.  I had no other things corrupted on my laptop.  So, I know it was not a virus.
    I have tried fixing the problem with redownloading and "repairing" the problem but, it did not work.  Since the Nano incident, I am somewhat reluctant to do this for fear that I will loose all of my content and paid applications to apple?  I also have Windows 7. 
    Did you have any issues with uninstalling and reinstalling? Thanks.

  • My iTunes will not open, error message 13014, help!

    My itunes will not open on my Macbook Pro, everytime I try it says error message 13014, what does this mean? Thank you!

    Hold the option key while starting iTunes and create a new library. Does it start now? If so, it's something to do with your library file. Is there anything we should know about your computer such as you keeping your library on a NAS?

  • Quicktime and itunes will not open error message

    I think their is suppose to be two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx) in the systems 32 folder. But there is a quick.ime also in the folder, do I delete it so that my quicktime and itunes work.

    No, quick.ime is not part of Quicktime. Don't delete it.
    If Quicktime will not open, then iTunes can't work.
    Can you give the Quicktime error message in full, and also check in your Windows error logs or Problems & solutions to see if there is more information there.
    You haven't given your Windows version which helps when troubleshooting.

  • Itunes will not open, error message reads: The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)

    iTunes 10.4 will not open on my macbook, error message reads:

    It won't let me delete and re-install either, thank you for any help!

    are you running any anti virus software on your machine ?

  • Itunes will not open, Error Message :

    (Message reads) Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration.
    This has begun happening on my computers over the past couple of weeks. It first happened on the primary system I use for my Ipod and then today while attempting to get sround this error message I updated my Itunes and the problem is now on both systems. I have changed nothing in my audio configuration and am getting a little fed up at this particular message. My computers had easily and painlessly utilized itunes for nearly a year without any problem anywhere near one like this. My suspicion is there is something amiss with the update.

    Since iTunes uses QuickTime to play audio/video content in iTunes, that error message most likely indicates that there's a problem with your Quicktime installation.
    Check out this knowledge base article for information about the issue:

  • 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.

    I have just had my computer fixed because of viruses and now my itunes will not open. It keeps coming up with the message 'itunes has encountered a problem etc.'. Also my library, apps etc will not open. Any suggestions please!

    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.

  • TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

  • Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

    What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

  • My itunes will not open no matter how many times i try! It says its due to a problem. what do i do?

    My itunes will not open no matter how many times i try! It says its due to a problem. what do i do?

    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.

  • 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!!
