ITunes won't launch / Bonjour critical error

iTunes hasn't run for weeks.  I've followed other troubleshooting and removed iTunes and reinstalled multiple times, but continue to get failure to launch.  At best I get a "checking iTunes library" message and then nothing.  iTunes doesn't show up in the services window.  I was able to launch iTunes once under Safe mode, but nothing else would load.
Windows 7 64bit machine. running Norton Internet Security, which I've uninstalled and reinstalled and which I've had turned off during the install process of iTunes.  Install goes fine as far as I can tell.  But iTunes will not run, nearing wit's end...Your assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks /Clayton
I looked at Windows event logs and do see this message:

  • Itunes won't launch after installing - error

    I've tried intalling and reinstalling different versions iTunes, including 7.6.2 up to the latest version. They all seem to install fine, but when I try and launch iTunes I get the following error message:
    'The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'My Music' folder.'
    I'm running Windows XP, with Service Pack 3 installed. Any advice from anyone?
    Thanks

    Hello
    By any chance when you go to My Documents - My Music. Does the My Music folder
    1. Exist?
    2. Does it have a music note on it?
    If it does so far everything looks good.
    If you followed the previous articles posted earlier. I would like to recommend one last article. Which will assist with a full clean up of Apple Software and folders.
    Hopefully you will only need to use this article as a last resort. Incase other options posted are not leading anywhere.

  • ITunes Won't Launch: Error -50

    I've just installed iTunes 7 on both my PowerMac and PowerBook both running 10.4.7 and the new QuickTime 7.1.3. On both computers, iTunes would crash after I launch it and click on "Agree" in the license screen. When it crashes it says iTunes won't open because of error -50.
    Help would be appreciated.

    I got the exact same error. Please help! Similar problem: I have a Powerbook G4 with 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 and got an error (-50) when I launched iTunes 7

    My iTunes won't launch. It will give and error code 13014. How can I fix this?

    Hi tuzas2,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some applicable information below for you:
    iPhone and iPod touch: An unknown error (13014), (13136), or (13213) may occur after updating to iTunes 8.0.1 or later
    Solution 1
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    Solution 2
    Quit and reopen iTunes. If the issue continues, then restart your computer.
    Solution 3
    Quit iTunes, temporarily disable the anti-virus security software on your computer, then reopen iTunes and try to sync your device. If iTunes successfully syncs your iPhone or iPod touch, consult the anti-virus software vendor.
    Solution 4
    Turn off Genius in iTunes in the Genius sidebar (choose View > Hide Genius Sidebar).
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • ITunes Won't open in XP - error "Faulting application itunes.exe"

    I had to reload factory settings to solve another problem, now iTunes won't launch - I get the "windows needed to close the application..."
    error is "faulting application itunes.exe, version 6.0.5.20, fauling module unknown, verion 0.0.0. fault address 0x100001...

    hmmmm. it's not the error message that i usually associate the following problem with, but it's worth checking on.
    does your QuickTime currently launch? (itunes needs a functioning QuickTime in order to work properly.)
    if it doesn't launch properly, let's try a standalone QuickTime 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone 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 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes 6
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • ITunes will not launch...error 34...now doesnt even work

    Hello:
    I recently purchased a shuffle and after installing the ipod software iTunes was getting an error 34 message but would open if I tried to open it a second time.
    Now, iTunes won't launch at all, I have tried repairing and also uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Once the icon is clicked it will show an hour glass for a couple seconds but never load. All other applications on my computer are running fine except iTunes, any ideas?

    hi Chris!
    Once the icon is clicked it will show an hour glass for a couple seconds but never load. All other applications on my computer are running fine except iTunes, any ideas?
    hmmm. are you also running Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, try the "Lorraine" technique:
    Lorraine M, "NIS/i-tunes problem rectified" #2, 12:51am Oct 17, 2005 CDT
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
    ... but also, nowadays, we've also got to be on the look-out for a malware problem (especially if you're getting a "flash" of an itunes or QT screen when you try to launch either application):

  • Itunes won't open...error 2206..tried many time to uninstall and to install...any help?

    Itunes won't open...error 2206
    I have tried to uninstall and to reinstall...still won't open.
    Any suggestions so i can use my itunes library again?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • ITunes won't launch if iPod is connected but ejected

    If I connect my iPod (set to Disk Use, no auto-launch of iTunes), then eject it through the Finder, iTunes won't launch. It hangs with no window until force quit or the iPod is unplugged. I've noticed this through several versions of iTunes.
    Note that I found this topic already in existence here, but I felt that the issue needed a bump to the top of the list.

    Does your quicktime work perfectly? I got that message when I tried to open iTunes 5 a couple times, and my quicktime wasn't being sensed by the computer at all. It was just there.

  • My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:
    Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    Are you using Leopard?
    If so, let's try installing a QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website:

    If you install that does that clear up the iTunes trouble?

  • ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

    iTunes won't install. 
    Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
    Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

    I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, as per the following document:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Itunes won't launch since update

    Seems like i have the same problem as a lot of people.
    Since last update itunes won't launch
    Just get a white screen and the blue circle going around the pointer.
    Have tried the complete unistalll and reinstall without success
    One thing i noticed is that when it freezes and i open task manager to close it down it says 32 bit next to itunes not 64 bit?
    Is the wrong version being downloaded?

    Without trying to be funny here, why should the problem be with my user account or my PC!
    Without trying to be funny, you've accidentally succeeded in being a bit funny here.
    This is a user-to-user troubleshooting forum. Folks come here to troubleshoot their problems. So we, quite naturally assume that's what you were trying to do, and reply to try to help you fix it. The reason why you see so many people here saying there are problems is that this is where people come if they have problems and want to fix them.
    If you believe the problem is all at Apple's end, and would like to register a sort of complaint with them (rather than do any troubleshooting of your problem), then it makes a heck of a lot more sense to contact Apple directly via the product feedback pages. (Because this is primarily an user-to-user forum, there's no guarantee an Apple person will see your post here. They will read your feedback via the form, although they also say they will not respond.) Here's a link through to the iTunes product feedback form:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    (Given that you're not here to troubleshoot, I'll bid you adieu, and desubscribe from this particular topic.)
