ITunes won't open...no matter what! Expert advice needed

Hi,
I installed iTunes on my computer but I cannot open it.
Everytime I do I receive the message:
*'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.'*
The thing with this is, I am an administrator. Now, I've logged into my computer on the built in Administrator account and it loads up and works fine, but as soon as I go back to my personal account I can't open iTunes.
I've tried all the obvious such as reinstalling the program etc. but nothing works.
Help, help, help!!

Most of the users of this forum are American and asleep at the moment.
I am afraid I don't have a definitive answer, I guess it must be something to do with the way you ahve your account set up.
However to get running, how about going to your shortcut and selecting poperties, then the shortcut tab>Advanced.
There is a run with different credential checkbox, it is geyed out on my Home Edition XP, but maybe you can use it to run iTunes as the adminstrator from your account. This wouldn't be a long term solution.

Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe...

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.

TS1717 itunes store won't open to matter what I do! HELP how do I fix this?

Ever since I got a new computer with windows 7 my itunes store would not open, so I couldn't buy anything and more importantly I couldn't get updates.
It claimed there was something wrong with my internet connection, but there's nothing wrong with the wifi connection.
a blank screen with 'itunes store' on it is all I get when I try to get to the itunes store.
It hasn't updated with ANY of the ios updates for my phone hasn't been updated in over a year.
I reset my phone a few nights ago to get rid of old photos and videos so I could just get new ones instead of manually going and deleteing them all, but now it won't connect to my itunes. So I can't sync it and get my phone back to use.
It's just show a blank screen that says 'iphone'. I don't know why it won't connect or is rejecting our wifi signal or whatever crap is preventing it from loading properly if at all.
I have tried running it in safe mode, making a new account, turning off the firewall, uninstalling then reinstalling itunes, getting another drive,
going command prompt and typing in one thing (says it worked, but itunes still wouldn't open) and another thing (again still wouldn't open/load itunes store at all)
and several more things, if I click itunes store the bar will say "accessing itunes store" but not matter how long I wait or how many times I try it never accesses or opens or loads the store.
I use my phone a lot, for working and personal family whatnots, and daily tasks, but since itunes store won't connect and it can't get any connection my phone is unusable, the only thing I can do with it is call emergency numbers.
what am I supposed to do?

a blank screen with 'itunes store' on it is all I get when I try to get to the itunes store.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

ITunes won't open - any ideas what's going on?

Whenever I try to open iTunes, whether from the start menu or with the shortcut, it doesn't work. I get the hourglass for a few seconds, then it becomes a cursor again and that's all. No sign that I just tried to load a program.

hi Sarah!
sorry about the delay. i'd had a wee adware problem lately (i got stomped by those irritating Win32.WinFixer, SystemDoctor2006 and WinAntiVirusPro2006 horrors), so i thought i'd download a copy myself and do a field test for you.
remember to reboot the PC after installing Ewido. click the "Update" button prior to a scan to collect fresh definitions (there were some waiting there for me when i did that).
probably best to click "Scanner" and then do a "Complete System Scan" to begin with.
this may take a while. my one took ... 49 minutes and 41 seconds. i don't think that was counting the time spent dealing with the alerts along the way. might be a good idea to settle in with a good book in front of the PC while doing the first scan. (it will probably honk at you quite frequently while it's scanning your cookies, but at other times there might be a few minutes between detections.)
love, b

Try a blast from an airduster into the socket
and
from a post by @davshirley
In my case it was an easy fix. Take a wooden toothpick and reach up inside the connector on the iphone5 and remove the pocket lint that collects in the socket. Once it is cleaned out, everything works good as new.

Iphoto won't open no matter what i do ..

i have reinstalled it twice from the app store (i have the latest version)
tried getting rid of preferences and the cache database
tried moving the library to the desktop
tired every key combination
how can i get rid of everything related to iphoto and download and reinstall everything ?
nightmare
this has only happened since buying the new iphoto throught the app store

Try the following: make a temporary,duplicate copy of your library the apply the three fixes in order as necessary:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

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. 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 the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, 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.)

If your problem is only w/iTunes, you really should re-post over in the iTunes for Windows forums instead of the iPod forums.

When you gte requests to locate iTunes.msi like this, the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility usually fixes it.
Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall of iTunes.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
