ITunes will not open when the internet is on.

Alright! So I'm not sure why but in April sometime, my iTunes started not to open. Every time I'd try, it forced closed and would look for a solution. It told me to update and I did but it still does nothing. It'll open without my computer being connected to the internet but that's kind of inconvenient when I want to listen to my music WHILE I browse everything! I've tried multiple things and I have googled my problem over and over again trying to fix it but I am having no luck and want to give up! I don't know if it's a defective music file or what. I am alright with wiping all of my music out of there I suppose if that fixes it but whenever I go to uninstall it, it reinstalls with all of my music still there. Gah!
If you guys could help me, that'd be great. If not, that's cool too.
Thank you!

In anticipation of idiotic responses, suggesting that I get rid of Vista is not helpful...
This is Apple's user discussion forum, not some fanboy Mac rumors site (although I am probably as big a "Mac fanboy" as anyone). I understand that there are more iPod users using Windows than there are iPod users using Macs.
But it looks like you're new here, so I suppose I can understand your expectations...
Your problem may be because the +iTunes Helper+ application is not running in the background. That app is probably needed to sense that an iPod has been connected and iTunes needs to start up. I don't recall where items that automatically start up during launch are set for Windows, but if you know where to do it, make sure +iTunes Helper+ is set to run.
If you don't know, reinstalling iTunes will probably set it to the default setting.

    are you sure your i-tunes is installed proper cause the icon is just a shortcut to the program.You might have some missing files. If so you may need to uninstall it and reinstall a new one.

    If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server.  In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air.  Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

  • My iTunes will not connect to the internet because it is tied to IE's proxy settings but IE does not work how do I change the proxy setting to FireFox

    I have stopped using IE because it doesn't work, however my iTunes will not connect to the internet now because it is tied to the proxy setting in IE and now I am using FireFox, so, how do I get iTunes to see FireFox as my web browser.

    i am having the same problem, i stopped using IE and installed firefox , only now my itunes store won't connect to the internet.

  • 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!!

  • Itunes will not connect to the internet

    My sister just downloaded Itunes to her computer for the first time and it will not connect to the internet. Her phone is in restore mode and I dont know what to do now. It says the server timed out as soon as I try to do anything on itunes. My internet on the computer is working fine....any suggestions?

    - What version of iTunes are you running?
    7.1.1.5
    - What is the exact error message you're getting?
    itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
    - Do you have any other privacy filter installed, or any antivirus or antispyware software?
    You know, I was just looking again after I read this, and it appears there is a program (Check Point Integrity Client) that could be causing an issue, but I'm not sure what IP address I would need to put in there.
    - Can iTunes connect to Gracenote to get album names when you import from a CD?It cannot.
    It would probably be useful if you'll run the Network Diagnostics (choose the Run Diagnostics item under the iTunes Help menu) and post the results here.

    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.

  • My itunes will not open when I click on the icon. What happened?

    Good evening anyone. I do not know what I did but when I click on my Itune icon on my laptop the program will not open up.
    I do not know what I did wrong. Any ideas?

    Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • HT4061 iTunes will not open when my iPhone 4S is attached to my Mac Book Pro. iTunes will start up but as soon as my iPhone appears in the list of devices the program then quits and displays the message 'iTune Quit Unexpectedly'? Can anybody help?

    The Problem/s
    1. I am unable to sync my iPhone 4S with my Mac Book Pro, either by cable, wifi or bluetooth
    2. iTunes will initiall open and briefly identifies the iPhone in the Device section in iTunes.
    3. When iTunes starts to read the iPhone (displaying the spinning wheel), it immediately then quits and
    4. Opens a 'dialogue box' which displays the message "iTunes Quit Unexpectedly"
    5 The dialoge box offers the following button options to:-
    'Show Details'
    The 'Show Details' button will open and display a list of the 'Problem Details and System Configeration'. To the average user the information is useless, as one doesn't know what to look for to solve the problem. This is a long and detailed report (too long to include in this message), which includes information such as:-
    Crashed Thread:  20
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000000006f0
    'OK'
    The 'Ok' button simply quits and closes the dialogue box
    'Reopen'
    The 'Reopen' button will again reopen iTunes, briefly showing that it is trying to read the iPhone in the Devices section, but then returns again to display the same dialogue box.
    Other Information
    1. iTunes will still start normally once the USB cable is removed from the Mac book Pro, but crashes again once the USB cable is reattached to the computer
    Any advice or help offered would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely
    Rob

  • HT1386 For some reason my iTunes will not connect to the internet even though the computer is connected. Any ideas?

    Unable to start sync because iTunes will not connect to internet.  Computer is connected but iTunes will not connect.  I even deleted iTunes and downloaded again.  Will not connect still.

    I am experiencing this problem as well.
    I have access to the internet and can download songs from the music store but iTunes is being its usual pain in the rear and says I do not have an internet connection when I try to download any updates.
    This does not seem to be a firewall issue, at least as far as I can tell, as I have McAfee and both iTunes and iTunes Helper have Full Access in my firewall settings.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Itunes will not open when connecting iPhone

    Does any one have a clue how to fix this issue? I have two iPhones (my wife's and mine). I don't have that problem with her's. Thanks in advance.

    That support document was for if the iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. You say now that it is, and that is why you do not see a solution.
    I'm not sure about the setting for opening iTunes, because I have automatic syncing turned off. That can be especially important if you are having issues with the phone. An automatic sync can delete things when syncing with an empty calendar, or contacts list. I've always opened my iTunes manually, but you can also uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. If you are using Windows, you need to do this by following this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
