ITunes won't launch and I get a strange error message-

My iTunes will not launch and I get this strange error message: The iTunes application could not be opened. The disk could not be read from or written to. But I have no problems with the disk it is on, which is my harddisk. Help, help, help…

I have now tried a billion things: None of them work. I still get the same error message, when I try to launch iTunes after logging into my user profile. However, I can launch iTunes 6.0.1 if I create another userprofile on my computer and log into that. But that isn't very helpful. I have also tried removing iTunes 6.0.1 and installing iTunes 4.7 instead. I can actually launch that. However, I cannot connect to the iTunes music store using iTunes 4.7 nor can I play any of the music purchased from the iTunes music store. What am I to do, except curse Apple for creating a version of iTunes that many people seem to have problems with?

  • ITunes won't open, and doesn't give any error message

    Whenever I try to open iTunes (7.0.2, if that matters), my system tray shows a little yellow triangle with an exclamation point, and iTunes fails to open. The icon shows no message when I hover over it, and if I click on it, it vanishes. I deleted iTunes, reinstalled it, restarted my computer, and all that jazz, but the problem remains absolutely unchanged. I tried creating another user account and opening iTunes on that account, and it works, but obviously, abandoning my current account is not an ideal solution. I don't have the first clue what's going on, or why, or what the yellow triangle icon is. I need help!

    Are you having the same problem with Quick Time? I was having the same problem with both Itunes and Quick Time, and I removed and reinstalled, and it was still happening, until I notices that I had an older version of Quick Time still in the program files. After I removed the older version of Quick Time, and then reinstalled Itunes, the problem disappeared.

  • All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:   1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem   and   2. iTunes was not installed correct

    All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
    1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
    and
    2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
    There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
    Thanks

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • HT1923 I downloaded the latest iTunes version and now get the following error message: "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes." Can anyone provide suggestions on what I should do next?

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. 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", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • I am trying to load iTunes and keep getting a error 126 and reinstall program.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and keep getting the same error message.  How can this be resolved.

    I am trying to load iTunes and keep getting a error 126 and reinstall program.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and keep getting the same error message.  How can this be resolved?

    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 just installed Itunes on Windows7 x64 and I get the following error...

    I just installed Itunes on Windows7 x64 and I get the following error when trying to open it. "Itunes cannot run because it detects a problem with Quicktime. For repair instructions click Help."  When I do this all it pretty much tells me to do is reinstall which doesn't really do anything at all. Another method mentioned is to download quicktime as a stand alone installer and isntall that version again to no avail. I have no idea what to do. Thanks for your help. I can provide any information needed upon request.  And yes I have uninstlaled completely restarted then reinstalled only to get the error again.

    Good lord.
    Right. Presumably either this one:
    ... or this one:
    ... is at the heart of matters. The second one is the more familiar one. So we'll assume (to begin with) that the first one is a rare complication of the sort of install trouble that can produce the second one.
    Rather than using Revo, I'd like to try using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility to clear the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update. Unfortunately, doing so has become more difficult
    ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove". Quit CleanUp.
    Now try uninstalling (again without using Revo) iTunes and QuickTime. If those uninstalls seem to go through okay, restart the PC.
    Now try the iTunes reinstall again. Does it hang with that "required module" error again? or does it install smoothly this time?

  • I have been trying to publish my podcast to iTunes with no success – I keep getting the following error message

    I have been trying to publish my podcast to iTunes with no success – I keep getting the following error message
    We could not complete your iTunes store request. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
    New to all this and would really appreciate some help.
    Thanks in advance
    PS: I should say that I have an ITunes account - I have full permissions over the website etc. I am using Powerpress plug in on a wordpress site.

    My guess would be that you've fallen over a glitch in the Store, in which case all you can do is wait a bit and try again, but it is only a guess. Without being able to look at your feed it's not possible to say whether there might be a problem there.

    Hello chindeepchow,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#3000
    Resolve communication issues
    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
