ITunes will not start up at all: Anyone heard of this problem before??

i have just formatted my laptop, reinstalled vista and patched it up, i think i have all the updates for it at the minute. i came to download and install itunes 8, it went in fine, then started up for the first time again, populated the play list an then went to sync up my touch, my laptop will recognise it and open the autoplay, however itunes never registered it, so i shut everything down and restarted, now whenever i try to open itunes both through the start menu and desktop icons but it just will not open. Task manager shows it as running and using memory but the program wont actually open, have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting pc and trying it on another user, non of which have worked. Anyone heard of this or have any advice?

Try this. Disconnect the power cord from the Mac. Now hold the Mac's power button for 10 seconds. Plug the cord back into the Mac and try starting. If this doesn't work (and other things plugged into the wall plug do work) then you are due for a trip to the local Apple store.

  • Ever since I downloaded the ICloud I am unable to use my camera, it will turn on but the screen will not show the camera view, anyone else have this problem or what I can do to fix?

    Ever since I downloaded/installed the ICloud IOS5 I can not use the camera icon on my Ipod. I can click on the icon, the screen will lighten just a little but it is not letting me see what is in the camera view. Any one else have this problem or know how I can fix it?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar are your nearest Apple store. At this point there is nothing you can do without a computer, so if you don't have one and don't know anyone who has one that you can use the Apple store is a good fallback.

  • HT1688 Since updating to iOS7 my iPhone 5 will not charge correctly.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    Since updating my phone to the new operating system my phone will not charge most of the time.  It shows that it is charging but the battery percentage decreases rather than increases.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Are you using a non-Apple Lightning cable?  iOS 7 added controls to prevent non-branded Lightning cables from working.
    If you're using a genuine Apple cable then perhaps try a Reset of your iPhone.  If that does not help, then do a backup and full Restore and reload your backup.

  • IPad4 volume button appears to have suddenly gone bad, will not increase volume. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    My iPad4 lives in a smart case, it never even goes out of the house. I baby it to be honest. So why, I ask you, did the volume button suddenly stop working? I tried all the suggested software and general settings I could find but it appears to be a hardware issue. I hope I'm wrong. I can decrease volume down to mute without effort but the volume 'up' function is totally kaputt. Maybe somebody has experienced this problem and found a solution? I'm bummed that my (otherwise) perfect little iPad now has an annoying flaw. - Thank you

  • Anyone heard of this problem before on a 3rd gen Shuffle?

    My daughter's 3rd Gen iPod shuffle is acting up...buttons aren't working properly, no apparent liquid damage, but Up Volume changes the track one forward, and Down Volume does nothing.
    She only paid $25 for it, but that's a ton of cash for a 7 year old. Since she insists she did nothing to cause this, I am trying to find out if this is a common problem or if there is a solution available.

    I would guess some liquid got into the switch, let it dry and see if it works.
    I would suggest that you first buy her a pair of these:

    This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
    I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
    Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
    - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    - iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
    - Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
    - Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
    - Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
    Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
    Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

    Hello, Jdragone. 
    Thanks for the question.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My itunes will not start in Win XP. I get an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am scared if I just reinstall iTunes that I will lose all my music and apps that are in the old itunes. What can I do.

    My iTunes will not start in Win XP. I am getting an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am concerned that if I just do a reinstall
    of  iTunes it will overwrite or delete all the music and apps I have on the current app that won't start. When I boot the PC I get the following:
    APSDaemon.exe - unable to locate. MSVCR80.dll not found. Reinstalling application may fix this problem. How can I get iTunes started without losing
    all my music and apps? Thanks

    It won't unless a problem occurs. Back them up, uninstall iTunes and all related components, and reinstall them.

  • ITunes will not start up... Keeps giving Windows Error Message.... help!!

    My Itunes will not start at all... When I try to start it I get a Windows Error Message saying below:
    *iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.*
    *In the Error Window The following is there...*
    _AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 8.0.1.11 ModName: quicktime.qts_
    _ModVer: 7.55.90.70 Offset: 00990007_
    Can Anyone help me as I can’t use my ITUNEs and am Handicapped when it comes transferring ITEM on and OFF my IPHONE...
    Thanks

    That error suggests you may have a QUicktime problem rather than an iTunes problem.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    If so uninstall them. They are bad news for Quicktime.
    Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • ITunes will not start:  Get same error message ever time...

    I installed iTunes 6 and quicktime and now it will not start up at all. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling as many have. The only difference is I am actually getting an error message. I do not get an hour glass as many have. I have tried deleting the suggested file found at: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    This did not work either. I keep getting the following error window, and never see iTunes even try to launch: PLEASE HELP!!!!
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienence. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on may be lost. For more information about this error click here"

    hi Josh!
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienence.
    the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch? if it doesn't, try these techniques:
