I did so and now the itunes will not open saying "Error: New Itunes Library' WHY?!? This is really frustrating me!!
Thanks.

There are a few things you could try,but what worked for me was to download a fresh installation file from apple.
Your update got corrupted somehow. Doing the usual of going to control panel, clicking on Programs and Features, clicking on iTunes in the list and selecting REPAIR probably won't fix this issue, as sometimes repair reverts the installation to its previous version and then your iTunes Library.itl file can't open because it's from a newer version than the one REPAIR reinstalled. You can try that process, but I doubt it will work.
Do not change any files and/or their existing locations. Also, do not uninstall iTunes from your machine. Simply go to Apple's web site and download their latest version suitable for your particular computer. Once downloaded, double click the installer and follow the prompts. You should be able to launch itunes afterward, and your library will magically re-appear.
Again, DO NOT uninstall the old version, and do not rename, remove and/or replace any of the original files prior to installing the latest version over what's already on your machine. Good luck!

Itunes won't open-error-says Itunes has stopped working

I can't open Itunes--it keeps saying it has stopped working and it tries to find a solution. Then it shuts down and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and redownloaded it but same problem.

Restart your computer.
Disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes without crash.
if iTunes does open, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes without issues.

My itunes won't install the new itunes. I keep getting error messages that seem to be linked to MobileMe service which I don't even know what it is.

ITunes won't open and my iTunes Folder is missing

My iTunes wouldn't open so I tried removing iTunes and Quicktime along with my iTunes folder, and now iTunes folder won't come back after reinstalling iTunes. Also iTunes won't open still. Any help would be great, thanks!

i have re-installed / maintenance install and the magical itunes folder in my music has re-appeared, itunes alas will still not open and still claims this folder in my music is not there. i have also deleted that src folder thing mentioned on the support page as a possible problem so that folder is not the cause of my current troubles.

ITunes won't open. New Library error appears

I tried to open my iTunes library today and I got the message, "New iTunes Library," and no ability to open the program. I think I just completed the newest update a couple of days ago. I have no idea what to do to fix this problem. Please help me. I am super frustrated. Thank you.

Why when i open itunes dose its say: error, new itunes library

what i said in the headline

The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device. Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up. It keeps syncing to the old library...

ITunes won't open - error message

When I try and launch iTunes I get this error message: "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have since unistalled and reinstalled V 11. I have also been given admin rights to my machine. I have given myself full rights to this folder. It still won't open. Now I have unistallaed it again and reinstalled V. 10. Same error message. I ran the compaibility report and it say there is an incompatible device but doesn't say which one. Any ideas? I am on a Windows 7 Fujitsu laptop. I had no problems with it until I upgraded recently to V. 11.
Thanks for any help here.

Itunes won't open error code 5,87

My itunes was working fine, and then I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and it won't open. It keeps saying "Dr. Watson was unable to attach to the process. It is possible that process exited before Dr. Watson could attach to it. Windows 2000 returned error code=5...access is denied"...before it said error code 87...now it says error code 5...I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling but it doesn't work! Please help! I desperately want my Itunes back!

okay ... that rules out various problems with DrWatson that i was able to find in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
let's try something aimed at trying to work out what the nature of the itunes problem is (the one that DrWatson is having trouble with).
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

ITunes won't open (error)

When I start iTunes I get this error: iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration.
What do I need to do?

Usually this issue is caused by quicktime. Try opening Quicktime and see if you recieve any errors.
Try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, then disable antivirus and security programs and reinstall iTunes from apple.com
If that doesn't work try the stand alone version of quicktime here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

ITunes won't open - Error 13001

Good day,
Every time I try to open iTunes, I get a message with the Unknown error 13001. I tried to fix it by uninstalling the app and intalling it again, deleting the iTunes Library and it doesn't work. When I plugged the iPhone 4S, it did't recognize it. When I open iTunes using a different user, it works fine, I don't get the error. I have read the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple, and I don't want to create a new user and transfer all the documents so I can use iTunes. I would like to know if there's another solution for this issue. Thanks.

okay, if the DLL it's mentioning has to do with QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUninstallProc, then (given that you're 32-bit) let's try the following procedure. (if it's saying something slightly different, post back to let us know what it does say.)
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 use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 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, error -45054

So a couple weeks ago, my MacBook Pro would not turn on. I had a similar problem a few months ago where the issue was the startup disk was full. I have a 256 GB hard drive so it can fill up fast sometimes. I had a back up of my full iTunes library so I decided to delete my iTunes Media Folder hoping to clear up a lot of space. It cleared up the space but the MacBook still wouldn't turn on. Turns out the power button on the body had broken. So i ordered a new bottom body, switched it out, and my laptop turned on fine. I decided that I would restore my iTunes library. So I opened up iTunes and I got two windows that popped up over the normal iTunes window. One says "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" and the other says "An unknown error occurred (-45054)." and then iTunes automatically closes. I have used Disk utility to Verify Disk Permission and to Repair Disk Permissions. Neither of these worked. I then tried reinstalling iTunes and that didn't work either. If anyone has any ideas of what I should do, I'd be very happy to try them.

If repairing permissions using Disk Utility does not work, try: iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277

ITunes won't open because the iTunes Library.itl file is locked

Recently our motherboard died. When we replaced it, we also had to wipe our hard drive. We saved our files, including my iTunes library.
I reinstalled iTunes today, but when I tried to open it, I got this error message: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." I can't find a Library.itl file, and I don't know why it's locked. What am I doing wrong?

How did you try searching for the ITL file?
If you do find it (it should be in \My Documents\My Music\iTunes), right click on the ITL file. Uncheck the "READ ONLY" box and do the same for the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
Or you can try holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. Create a new library and name it NEW. Then at least you can see if iTunes will open.
