Itunes won't open-can't find MSVCR80.dll

Running Windows XP. downloaded the latest undate to i tunes and the system won't open.  Message says can't find MSVCR80.dll.
Reloaded Itunes but get the same message.  Help

Welcome to the club. So far the only proposed remedy to complete the upgrade is to do an iTunes (and related software) rip and replace. See the details in numerous posts to this forum.
If you want to hang in there for a while to see if Apple can figure out the problem and provide a functioning 11.1.4 upgrade you can try reverting to a Windows restore point created prior to the failed upgrade attempt. Don't know if that's an XP option though.
Note to self: always create a Windows restore point before allowing any Apple software upgrade attempts!

    I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly.

    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.

  • I installed the update and now my itunes won't open - can anyone help?

    I had to update as it wouldn't recognise my iphone anymore, although it opened fine prior to the upgrade.

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

  • Itunes won't open. Says can't find the folder

    Hi,
    I could install Itunes and Quicktime, I already tried the msconfig solutions but it doesn't work. I have a ipod with video and I can't get it to work because itunes won't open.
    It displays the license agreement and after I agree it displays error message "Can't find itunes folder or can't be created and is needed for Itunes to work. This is normally located under My music folder".
    I tried to create manually the folder, and still doesn't work.
    Can you help me with this or tell me if I can use another application to transfer video and photos to my Ipod?

    This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
    To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
    Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
    We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
    Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
    Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
    Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
    Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

  • New iTunes update won't open.  First it said Apple Mobil Device failed to start.  So I Stopped then Started Apple Mobil Device.  Now iTunes still won't load.  Tells me MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Wants me to reinstall app.  Will I lose all my music?

    Current iTunes update won't load.  Tells me MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Wants me to reboot.  If I reboot, will I lose my music?

    Hi DDay@55,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To resolve this error, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    You can find the article with these steps and more information here:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    This process should not affect any music or content on your computer, but you may want to
    back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Best,
    Jeremy

    Hey jeight26,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Sincerely,
