Itunes will not open though everything has been tried

i don't think my problem is atypical, but i've tried everthing possible with no luck. when i try to open i tunes a message stating " i tunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" pops up. i've uninstalled and installed dozens of times yet nothing changes. I've also removed norton antivirus and scanned my computer with ewido anti-malware. it fixed any errors. for some reason my quicktime doesn't appea to be installed, i've tried to intstall it and yet it only prompts me to uninstall
it. I've had my ipod for a week and i haven't been able to use it, i'd really appreciate someone's help.

katrina posted this. i did everything, but what worked was the misconfig. thanks again katrina.
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Itunes will not open with no error, been through support advice please

iTunes does not open and there is no error. I've been through all the steps with support over phone. Had my issue escalated to an engineer and still the problem exists. Anyone know of where i can find service to come to my household and fix it that way.

I click on the iTunes store button and it comes up with the loading bar at the top of the screen where the song time marker would be, but nothing ever happens. It just loads and loads and loads, I don't even get an error message...
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

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

TS1717 Itunes will not open. It just says" This version of Itunes has not been correctly localized fro this language. Please run the English version". I have tried to open with Shift/Control but it will not open. Help?

Itunes will not open from my desk top. It just says "This version of Itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version". How can I change versions or whatever if unable to open at all? TIA

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

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?

please help

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

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.

PLEASE HELP! Itunes will NOT open

I've seen many posts with people saying their itunes will not open and gives an error message that says it has encountered a problem and has to close. Mine started doing this a couple days ago, and I believe it might have been after I updated either itunes or downloaded a Windows update.
I have tried probably everything and nothing is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime (together and seperately). I've messed with msconfig, I've even tried reinstalling itunes from the cd that came with my ipod.
Someone please help!

hi Rachel!
At the moment I do not have quicktime installed. After messing with it so much, I gave up. But the message it was giving me was the same message itunes was giving me, saying it has encountered a problem and needed to close.
that would be the current problem. itunes won't run if you don't have QT on your system. (it will give you an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message if you try to launch it under those circumstances.)
so let's try a standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again, taking a few additional precautions this time.
download and save a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if the install goes through fine, check some things for us.
does Quicktime launch fine, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say?
if your QT is launching fine, do you still get the "itunes has ..." message?
love, b

Itunes will not open up

Itunes will not open up after I've clicked all icons on desktop, start menu, and on taskbar? Any help is greatly appreciated

I am having the same problems as the original poster. As of 2 days ago itunes will no longer open.
I have:
Run virus scan
Spyware/malware scan
Reinstalled itunes (I don't even know how many times)
Reinstalled my internet securty program
Turned off the firewall to try to run it
Go into the firewall and created rules for it (and found out it was alreadya llowed)
Gone into the start-up programs and run the computer on basics etc.)
Run the computer in safe mode.
Tried to open the program by clicking on a music file to open the player.
Clicked on the .exe file directly in the file location.
Tried installed an older version of itunes.
Resintalled quicktime separetly.
And I don't even know what else... oh and I have run nortons registry cleaner and performed disc optimization.
This is really driving me crazy...
Every so often after 20 minutes the program will open and then freeze but this has happened - twice.
And when you click to open the program it initializes it in processes but never opens the application.
I have been trying to figure this out and seriously am hating this computer right now.
Nothing on my computer had changed. Oh I did do a system restore to see if that would work... and no that did not.
Windows has not updated recently and itunes had updated over 2 weeks ago and had been working since until 2 days ago.
Oh- and I've created a another user account to try to run itunes and it does the same thing there.

ITunes will not open, CoreGraphics.dll not found, Error 7

For some reason iTunes will not open. I get a message that says "This application has failed to start because CoreGraphics.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Then another error message comes up that says "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7".
This just started happening for no reason. There have been no new installations on my computer. As far as I know, it was working one minute, then just not working the next minute.
I reinstalled iTunes at least 4 times, and still got the same messages. Then I uninstalled then reinstalled at least 4 times, and still nothing. Can someone please help? Thanks!

I am getting the same error since I just installed the lastest version if itunes and mobile me. This error in my case is from mobile me and I would like to know how this is resolved.

Itunes will not open --windows 7 64bit

ok so, itunes refuses to open. i went to the support page and did EVERYTHING it says to do. update drivers, disable virus protection, add a new user, try safe mode, etc etc. STILL WILL NOT OPEN. uninstalled everything, reinstalled everything about 5 times... nothing. can someone please help me fix this?

Yeah I tried that as well, the other download that actually says "iTunes 64-Bit installer." Thats a load of crap. Doesn't do anything different than the other installer. Like I said in a couple of my posts, I think the problem is that iTunes is a 32 Bit program and my version of windows on this computer is 64 bit. Doesnt work properly. I was actually on vacation and left it running for about an hour and I saw that iTunes was opened. I went to do things within iTunes and it crashed no more than 5 seconds into it. iTunes runs perfectly fine on my windows 7 32bit computer but on this windows 7 64 bit, nothing but problems. Can't play videos, can't play a song, can't even edit options. And everything on their website they say to do does nothing. Especially to disable all of my startup programs, makes a lot of my programs run very poorly or not at all and I'm not going through all of that trouble for iTunes. I just wanted to be able to update my iPod while i was on vacation, but unfortunately I cant. I'll stick to running it on my other computer because obviously no one from apple has a solution to this problem and obviously I am not the only one having it.

Our iTunes will not open. It reads that we need the English version? Please help.

If I download a new iTunes will I lose everything we have?

Same issue for me. Was running 10.5.3 due to the bug in 10.6 with Apple TV. Upgraded to 10.6.1 since it was supposed to solve the issues. ANd no I can;t open iTunes at all.
Annoyed that 10.6 was shipped with the bug with the Apple TV sortting of titles.
Really p*ssed off that 10.6.1 which was supposed to fix this has totally borken iTunes for me.
Time to try to revert to 10.5.3 again.
Apple, what's happened with Q/A.
(My setup - latest patched Lion, upgraded via Automatic update; so nothing out of the ordinary.)
