Itunes won't open because of error 13010 occurred

All of a sudden when I try and open itune, it gives me this message: The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13010).

Try the following:
1. Go to the following folder: username/Music/iTunes/
2. Remove the following files from this folder:
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
3. Open iTunes.
4. You will have to re-scan your media.
No! Not the iTunes Library.itl file!! That is what makes your library.  Delete that and when you open iTunes you will get a blank, brand new library which will certainly take care of the issue because you will be starting from scratch (the media files will still be on the computer).  By "re-scan your media" this will mean adding it all again to the library, rebuilding your playlists, starting off with playcounts zero and no ratings.
Caddyfan, I see you have systematically posted in quite a number of topics about this issue.  I hope you post a correction about this in each one, or if you did indeed mean delete the entire library file at least make it clear this will be a consequence of your suggestion.  It is also usually unecessary to post in topics which haven't seen a post in about a year.

    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 Open Because of Quicktime

    I have a computer with Windows 7 Pro and I can't get iTunes to work correctly on it.  I was getting an error message that was saying that iTunes couldn't open because Quicktime wasn't installed.  However, quicktime is installed and working properly.  I've uninstalled everything related to apple and reinstalled it, and after doing that, iTunes worked, but today I started getting the same error message.  I'm not sure what the issue is because there doesn't seem to be an issue with Quicktime. 

    I'm going through the SAME ****. I install Itunes and quicktime seems to go ok until the end of the installation and then all **** breaks loose. Some error comes up saying that I can't install it. THEN It says the installation finished successfully. So I click finish and what happends now is that it specifies that I need to update my quicktime to open itunes... I dont care about Quicktime, i want itunes to work, anyone have a link to an older STANDALONE version of itunes? Where you don't need quicktime?

  • ITunes won't open because the library file is locked

    The iTunes 4 Music Library file is locked, on a locked disc, or I do not have write permission, what do I do? It was working perfectly until I plugged in my iPod. I waited, the iPod did not appear. The computer then told me that I had improperly disconnected it, yet I didn't touch it. So at that point I did disconnect it. My computer froze, so I restarted it and now iTunes won't open. Help!

    Megan hello,
    welcome to the Apple Discussions open the iTunes folder in your Music folder and select the iTunes 4 Music Library file... type cpmmand - D and this will duplicate the file... put the original file on the desktop and change the name of the duplicate to be the same as one you just moved ... double/click on this file after the name change... if all is okay you can trash the file on the desktop later..
    let's know if it all works again Megan .... TP

  • ITunes won't install because of error 1327

    I'm really in need of some major help. My iTunes won't connect to the music store, and when I tried to update it, it says there's Error 1327, something wrong with my E drive. Only problem is that I don't have an E drive and no longer have the flash drive that might have been present when I installed it. Is there anyway around this, as I can't make it past the second part of the install phase because of this error.

    Connected a different flash drive.

  • 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 won´t open: because "secured Volume or no rights!"

    Something went wrong with iTunes on my MacBook, and though I´ve trashed and downloaded anew, it won´t open. It claims "iTunes is on a secured Volume or I have no access rights" (Finder Information shows I have the rights).
    Copying from the iMac did´nt help!
    I´m gratefull for any hints you can give me.

  • Illustrator won't open "An unknown error has occurred (-108)"

    I installed Yosemite a couple of weeks ago and it took several days to finally get things working again. All was well for a while, but now Safari tries to reload pages continually, Mail crashes when I check new mails (it just disappears without warning), Illustrator gives me "unknown error (-108)", InDesign just disappears when I try to start it, Word won't open at all, preview doesn't work in the finder. This is a major inconvenience and makes my Mac pretty much useless.

    Hi Rutherford,
    There could be a issue with the Operating system or the user account.
    Try creating new Admin user account on the Mac. If the problem happens on new user as well, may be you can contact Apple support and get some advise.

  • ITunes won't open, because it "needs QuickTime 7.0.3"--but I have it!

    Same sob story, to a degree, that I've been reading about. BUT--when I click on the iTunes icon, it says it can't launch because QuickTime isn't up-to-date. That isn't accurate, because they download together! This is on a brand new computer, Dell Inspiron 6000. I have uninstalled the download and tried the CD that came with the Nano (an older version), and it installs but won't run, either. Just wants to send an error report to Microsoft each time I try to open iTunes.
    I've tried a lot, including choosing iTunes not be the primary audio player. QuickTime doesn't successfully install when I tried a separate installation.
    Running XP small business edition (just a souped-up version of Home edition). Computer also runs Microsoft Media Center...could this be part of the problem? I'm also running McAfee Security Suite.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get this going?
    Dell Inspiron 6000   Windows XP  

    Well, then we need to get rid of every Quicktime reference on your computer and start anew.
    to Verify That All QUICKTIME Files Are Removed
    Go to: Start/Find/Files or Folders.
    Enter QuickTime as one word in the Name box.
    Click Find Now (be sure you are in the C drive of your computer).
    Confirm that the following files are NOT on your computer. If they are still on your computer, delete them.
    QuickTimeInstaller.ini
    QuickTimeInstaller.exe
    QuickTimeInstallCache.qdat
    then reboot your computer
    OR
    Close the program tray icon (lower right corner of taskbar) before trying to remove (or installing standalone)? ( or ctrl alt del and close these first: iTunesHelper.exe, qttask.exe)
    or:
    Start - Run - copy and paste this into the run box:
    C:\WINDOWS\unvise32qt.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\QuickTime\Uninstall.log
    (check to see if there is a file "uninstall.log" in the C:\WINDOWS\System32\QuickTime folder)
    last resort (since you cant get rid of it anyway) -
    delete c:\program files\quicktime folder and c:\windows\system32\quicktime folder
    run regedit - delete these keys:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Quic kTime
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime
    Then, try downloading Quicktime Standalone and see if iTunes will open up after that. Good luck and keep me posted either way.

  • ITunes won't open. it says "Error 7 iTunes was not installed correctly" I know I did though. Now what? Should I uninstall? I don't want to loose my music!

    I have the latest version of iTunes and when I went to go open it, it can't! It says: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.Error 7 (Windows error 126)"  What do I do now? Should I uninstall and try installing it again? I don't want to loose any of my music and info. PLEASE HELP!

    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.

  • HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

    I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
    "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
    In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
    It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
    Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
    Thanks
