iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open. I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck. I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it. Can someone help?

Itunes will not open in my windows 8 laptop

Itunes will not open on my windows 8 computer..can someone please help?

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 quit properly in Mac OS X Yosemite - force quit required

I upgraded to to Mac OS X Yosemite last week and have updated all of my other software as the updates became available. Since the update, iTunes has not always worked properly (e.g., recognizing devices when they are plugged in). However, the one consistent bug is that iTunes will not quit. Regardless of how I try to quit the application (menu, dock, computer shut down/restart) it will not quit. No beach ball appears and in the "force quit" menu it does not show as "not responding". In fact, I can still continue to use iTunes after trying to quit the application.
The only way to exit the application is by force quitting. I would prefer to not continue to do this but I have been unable to find a solution.
Thanks,
Alan

HI,
just returned from work and saw that iTunes finally stopped. Don't know how long it took, but it shut down. It also sees know three of my four devices and i just started to update my iPhone to iOS 8.1. Now I have to wait and see what's going on. I will come back and give you a report.

I have a 13 inch MBP. I had to log out. It would not let me restart or shut down unless iTunes was closed. And, iTunes was not responding to the FORCE QUIT option. It would quit, then reappear. Hope this helps.

ITunes will not start on my windows 7 computer

iTunes will not open on windows 7, help!
I have an HP laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, the iTunes version is 11.1.5.5. About a year ago my screen broke on my HP laptop so I moved the hard drive into an older computer. I recently moved my hard drive from the old laptop back to the new. least opened on the older laptop but now it will not open at all. I've searched all around the web and still haven't found an answer. It's becoming very aggravating. Other programs
I uninstalled every apple related program and reinstalled them, I deleted old apple files, scanned for malware, drivers, Nothing seems to work i'd greatly appreciate the help.
iTunes at least opened on the older laptop but it would stay stuck at analyzing gapless playback, now it will not open at all. I've searched around the web and still haven't found an answer, it's becoming very aggravating.Programs stop working as well such as Catalyst control center, I had to get a new sound driver, Firefox wasn't working, Movie maker, and vlc video player.
I uninstalled every apple related program and reinstalled multiple times, I deleted old apple files, scanned for malware, drivers, disk defragmenting. Nothing seems to work I'd greatly appreciate the help because my iphone died two nights ago and when i plugged it in to charge it would show the battery, then spple logo almost immediatly, then the passcode and it would die and do it again, basically stuck in an endless reboot. Now it's current;y stuck in recovery mode and I want to restore it but of course iTunes isn't working, life is hard so please give me a hand apple I like apple I don't wanna get an android haha.

Itunes will not come up on my computer

itunes will not come up on my screen. It shows up in windows task manager. When I click on the desktop icon, it flashes off then back on again, but itunes doesn't come up. Quick-time comes up when I click on the icon. itunes shows 44,540 on the Mem Usage column on the Process tab of Windows task Manager. I don't know what to do next. When I click on a song from my "My Music" folder under itunes library, it won't play. I'm out of ideas

If itunes.exe stays in task manager there are a few things to try. Easiest one is to start itunes and hold down the shift key until iTunes starts. Choose "Create new library" when prompted.
If itunes.exe just flashes briefly in task manager, I believe in the past that indicates malware on your PC.

Itunes will not quit

itunes will not just quit, the downloads say they are compete but the little blu icon shows something is still downloading. I have to force quit each time.
I am using the lates version of itunes 11.1 but it would happen with the other verision prior also.
Apple support says the mac is trying to sync with my iphone/ipad but they are not even identified in the menu as being connected.
I have only had the mac about a month and this is my first one.
Anyone else experience this issue.

Today this happened to me as well. I tried everything I could think of. Force Quit, Terminal.... I also couldn't launch some applications. (I could launch Terminal but not the Activity Monitor. Finally logged out but even that wouldn't force it to shut down. It just sat there with a desktop picture and nothing else. According to Terminal iTunes wasn't even using the CPU. Finally I pulled the plug.
I remember when I wouldn't have to restart for a month. Now it seems like a few times a week. Honestly, iTunes has become a huge bloated POS. I am really starting to hate it and my Mac. Things get even worse when iTunes starts linking up with Apple TV. After a few hours of playing music or photos both Apple TV and iTunes are gasping for breath. I wont go into how nasty Apple TV Take 2 behaves in this thread.
The last time iTunes acted up it was after being linked up with Apple TV for a few hours. At least then I could force quit it. The upgrade to 7.6.1 didn't help. I was thinking it might be my "old" G5 but to read here that his is happening to new iMacs is discouraging.

HT201276 iTunes will not quit

OSX Mavericks

Same situation immediately after Restart and full Shut Down.

I have a 13 inch MBP. I had to log out. It would not let me restart or shut down unless iTunes was closed. And, iTunes was not responding to the FORCE QUIT option. It would quit, then reappear. Hope this helps.

HT1386 iTunes will not load on my windows XP computer

To Whom It May Concern:
I have a laptop that runs windows XP Pro, and my iTunes is corrupted to the point it will not load and I can not sync my iPad. I reloaded iTunes and it can not complete a full reinstall, because my files are corrupted. I would like to a completed de-install however I don’t want to loss my backup files.
Can someone give me some suggestions regarding what I need to do?
Thanks,
Dred1130

First try:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Then try moving the backup to a safe place and then rebuild your computer amd backup up your Tunes library.
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
For more help go the the iTunes forum.

ITunes will not install on my windows vista operated laptop

... I know this is not a new question, and I have tried just about everything that was suggested before. I removed iTunes and Quicktime and all programs related to them and reinstalled iTunes. However, it still will not open; I get a message indicating that the Data Execution Prevention program has closed it down.
I tried to bypass the DEP, following the instructions provided, by manually exempting iTunes from it. However, I received a message that this program could not be exempted. The DEP setting was set so that only Windows System 32 programs would be governed by it. But this did not work either.
Finally, I set things up so that iTunes would run only via an adminstrator account, but this too did not work.
I should note that iTunes worked fine on my laptop until several weeks ago, when Microsoft pushed some windows updates. (I have Windows Vista Service Pack 2 operating now, but don't know what it is or its significance to this problem.)
So, I think I have exhausted the troubleshooting options I have seen. ... Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I reinstall Quicktime and it would not launch and gave me the same error messages.
We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
