ITunes won't launch in Vista - help?

Please help, I've been through the troubleshooting, but no good.  A wee while ago iTunes started to ask for my login and p/word when I clicked on the icon (I think this was just after an update) to open it.  When I entered the details it kept saying I was incorrect, so I managed to get rid of the request and open iTunes.  I did this twice, then the next time I tried to launch iTunes and nothing.  No message, no anything.  I am desperate for my music, so please help.  BTW I am not great technically so any help will need explaining!  thank you

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

  • 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 failing to launch. Please help!

    Itunes won't launch. I've tried from Itunes.exe, no response. I've check the compatibility from every option, ran as an administrator, ect. At first I thought maybe it was becuase I had a 32-bit edition installed in, so I uninstalled that and installed the 64-bit edition. I restarted my computer and plugged my Ipod in to see if it would work, I got a pop up message saying Itunes needs a library to continue. After that pop up, I have had no further response from the program. I've checked to see if it a user specific problem, it isn't, it is system wide. I have no idea what is wrong, help me please!!

    I have fixed this problem by re-installing Quicktime. Thank you.

  • 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:

    (Given that you're not here to troubleshoot, I'll bid you adieu, and desubscribe from this particular topic.)

    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 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.

  • ITunes won't launch after upgrade

    I just downloaded the new iTunes upgrade onto my Macbook, and now iTunes won't launch. It just bounces once and then does nothing. I've gone through the uninstall and reinstall process, but still no dice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Also, since I uninstalled it, did I lose everything I'd previously downloaded to iTunes?!)
    **I just realized I've accidentally posted this under the Windows discussion. Sorry.

  • Itunes won't launch after using norton utilities

    Hi,
    I used Norton disk doctor and now itunes won't launch. How do I fix this?
    Many thanks!

    Get rid of Norton's, it's far more trouble than it's worth. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you run Disk Doctor or the other parts of the suite, and is why they got out of the Utilities market for the Mac.
    1. Try repair Permissions with Disk Utility
    2. Try Trash the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder
    3. Try Re-install iTunes. Move the app from the Applications Folder to the Trash, then go to HD / Library / Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iTunes in the name.

  • HELP. I've tried everything! iTunes won't launch!

    So i've installed and re-installed the latest version of iTunes, and still, i can't open it. I used to have iTunes 4, which i was completely happy with, so i never upgraded it. Then i got a 2nd gen iPod Nano, which is only compatible with iTunes 7, so i had no choice but to upgrade. I've tried clicking the iTunes desktop icon a million times, i've tried "Start", "Run", "iTunes", and i've gone into the C: Drive and gone into where iTunes was originally located, to click that, and still, nothing happens. I just see an hourglass for a few seconds, but then it disappears, and nothing happens at all. I've looked all through the technical support pages from Apple, and still, nothing. I've tried everything they've recomended, and none of it has opened iTunes 7 for me. Luckily, i came across my original "Install iTunes" installer for iTunes 4, so i deleted iTunes 7 and reinstalled iTunes 4, to see if i could open that. I had no trouble with opening iTunes 4, so i thought i could reinstall 7 and see if it worked. So, i deleted iTunes 4, and tried to reinstall iTunes 7 again. It still won't launch. I have all of my music backed up, so i'm not worried about losing any of the files or anything like that. I just want to know how to get iTunes to launch.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Itunes won't start on vista home premium

    I installed Vista Home Premium and did a fresh install of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
    iTunes won't start and gives an error (iTunes won't start):
    Eventname: APPCRASH
    Name: iTunes.exe
    Version: 7.1.1.5
    Timestamp:45f8a616
    Name of the errormodule: StackHash_03ef
    I can't seem to find the solution in the Forums and internet.
    I deinstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times but it still gives the same error.
    Quicktime also won't start.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I deinstalled all codecs (including Nero), because windows vista solutions also pointed me in that direction, but no luck yet..
    okay. we'd better try swapping out your QuickTime now that the codecs are out of the way.
    sometimes with that sort of "error message free" launch failure with QuickTime, Add/Remove doesn't want to get rid of the QuickTime. so we'll try the following technique if that happens:
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • Itunes won't launch anymore: AVFoundationCF.dll problem

    Hi,
    since my last itunes update, it won't launch because of a "AVFoundationCF.dll" problem. I'm on a Windows XP system. Can anyone help me please?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post (although it's for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):
