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

Itunes will not open since update

Hi all
have just updated itunes for windows and now it will not open "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found .........."
ERROR 7 (windows error 126)
tried reinstalling several times but no different

ITunes will not open after updating

Ever since the update to 7.1.1 iTunes will not open.
I get a pop-up window that says iTunes has stopped working.
I have followed Apple's instructions for Vista about uninstalling all Apple products. I have done this 8+ times and I am at a total loss. I am a webmaster and Sr. Sys. Admin for a software company, so it's not like I don't have experience with computer/software issues.
When I look at the Windows application log. I have this error:
Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.7.1.11, time stamp
0x4890a5ee, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time
stamp 0x4791a76d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000254d8,
process id 0xf44, application start time 0x01c8fb2e587a39a9.
This started happening after I updated.
No other issues with any other programs. Quicktime will start up and run.

I hear you. My itunes is fubared and Apple and ALL the articles they send do NO good. I have emailed Apple many times and nothing helps.
Whatever they changed with version 7.1 messed up itunes and you can't go back.
I have emailed Apple asking them if I can delete my itunes directory and any references to itunes and NOT lose my 10K songs. They havent responded to that email and my guess is that it will delete it. But Im not going to risk losing my library until I know for sure !
Im in the same boat you are, I dont want to lose my library either. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW !!
anyway this is a pain in the *** but itunes(windows) will open this way
UNTIL APPLE FIXES THIS !
1.boot up windows
2.right click on your START button
3.go to C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes (my machine is a Dell with Vista)
4.go to the itunes directory C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC INFO
5.delete BOTH files SC info.sidb AND SC info.sibb
6.launch itunes, it should open, mine did.
7. if you have any purchased songs from the istore, log-in with your user name/password.
THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR ITUNES OPEN, IF YOU CLOSE IT OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AGAIN. (at least I did)
GOOD LUCK !!

Thanks.

Hi Cchoe,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

With that one, the only workaround I'm aware of at the moment is to disable your BonJour Service.
Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services and Applications"
Open "Services"
Right click on the BOnJour service and select "properties".
In the General tab, change the start-up type to "disabled".
OK out of the tab.
Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch for you now?

Photoshop elements 12 will not open since updated Mac os to 10.10.2

why can't 12 open? I updated to mac os 10.10.2. And all 12 does is look for a scanner. will not open. Can anyone help?

Did you trash the prefs after updating to 10.10.2
Quit Elements.
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following Folder/files:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Re-launch Elements
Also if you haven't updated, go to the help menu in Expert mode and install v12.1

ITunes will not open after update/reinstall

I tried to update to the newest version of Itunes when prompted, but since then I have not been able to open the program. I have followed the instructions and uninstalled and re-installed the program multiple times. When I attempt to open Itunes, I see a message that says it cannot open the program because the language is not compatible and needs to be in English. However, English was the language picked for the install. Any ideas?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Itunes will not open after update, itunes will not open after update

i have just updated itunes following trying to link my apple tv to itunes on my computer. i was advised an update was required first, agreed, and have not been able to open itunes since.

Well then I would attempt a complete uninstall and reinstall of an earlier version of iTunes-
should be able to find one somewhere. Also review your automatic system restore settings
for future problems. I have used system restore multiple times for issues like this.
It really is a quick fix.
Do you have an Apple Store somewhere near where you live? You could make an appointment to
talk to a tech there. I think that's free.

TS3212 itunes will not open after updating to itunes 11

I updated iTunes yester day and now it won't open.
I have tried logging out and restarting. I have also unisntalled iTunes and reinstalled. I have logged out of iCloud as well.
If I clcik on an audio file then Windows Media player oepns up instead. What's p with that?

Same for me as above. Installing Quicktime made the difference. But I hate this version - the GUI is so confusing. Do you know how we can go back to an earlier version?

Itunes will not open on win 7 pc after oct update?

I am running a win7 pc-64bit os and itunes will not open since I updated it in Oct. I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes s/w several times. I have tried without a firewall and with anti-virus programs disconnected. I do not get an error message. Itunes launches with a blank screen and the busy "spinner" spins until I reboot. Anybody with a similar problem or a solu

I don't know if this will help you but I just went through this. After three weeks of thinking it was my firewall and making all the adjustments suggested by apple, I discovered it was my Net Nanny software that was blocking my way. I had one character wrong in the accepted lists on websites and so it looked right to me when I checked. It wasn't until I completely uninstalled the software and reinstalled, and re-entered all my lists that I realized the error. Now it is working great. So you may want to check your list of approved websites VERY carefully or re-enter them on you firewall software or any content blocking software you may have.
Hope that helps.

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.

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

iTunes will not open after the update completed. I tried to downgrade back to the previous for iTunes but I cannot access my downloads....I seriously need help from someone.....HELP

The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.
