ITunes won't run... at all

i downloaded the latest iTunes today, and it doesn't work. when i start it up, this is the general windows error message i get:
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and that's it.
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.2.16 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
Exception Information
Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000 Address: 0x0000000010001040
any ideas? perhaps a link to an older version or something?

Update: I've re-installed iTunes to no avail. I tried it again after installing all my lingering windows XP updates, still doesn't work. I tried repairing the installation and that didn't work.
I currently have an empty iPod because I cannot put any songs on it. This is very irritating and Apple's support is pretty lame from what I've seen so far.

I updated to the latest iTunes, and now iTunes won't run at all

I downloaded the newest update, and now iTunes won't open at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and emptying my "temp" folder, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Well, I fiddled around with things more, and now it's running. I think what made it work was by going to All Programs, where I saw Apple Software Update. I ran that, and it seemed to do the trick. I hope this helps other people with the same problem.

HT4216 Diagnostics for iTunes for Windows when iTunes won't run at all?

I would like to run iTunes diagnostics but am unable to get iTunes to run at all. Install and repair both report that iTunes is installed correctly. Are there any diagnostics available where iTunes will not run at all? Complete uninstall of all Apple products with registry wipe didn't help.

EULA! EULA! EULA! Greetings! I had the same problem on my PC for over a year! Itunes would download, appear to install correctly.. and then I'd get error messages about files not being found.. uninstall and start over to have the same thing happen again and again... I finally decided that I would track down the problem and I did!! Its very simple....
After install, a window pops up saying Itunes installed correctly. Theres a checkbox to RUN IT NOW that is checked by default.. THIS IS THE PROBLEM It tries to force itunes to run before you accept the EULA.. Uncheck the RUN NOW box and click done or ok.. and immediately, the EULA pops up.. Accept it and then run itunes from the desktop shortcut and it should work perfectly!

ITunes won't run at all after updating 10.5

I have recently updated iTunes to 10.5, and now it won't run/open at all. Gives me an error and doesn't even open it at all. I have tried everything apple says to do but nothing has worked so far. Please help me, I really want my iTunes running again! If you need more information/details, please ask. I'd be happy to help you if you're going to help me. :-)

Anyone? Please?

ITunes won't run - invisible window where iTunes should be, but it never launches.

I'm running Windows Vista 32 (I know, I should upgrade) and over the last few weeks, I noticed that my podcast wasn't downloading new eps. Now, iTunes won't run at all.
I've done a full scan of the PC and there are no viruses found. I'm using Kaspersky.
I've un-installed all Apple apps and rebooted before trying to reload iTunes and it never runs.
Anyone have any idea what might be preventing iTunes from running?
I have a Windows 7 PC on the other desk, connected through the same switch and Cable Modem and iTunes is running fine on it, so it's not network / internet related, as far as I can tell.
Thank you,
J

"The feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to another folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi in the box below"
Let's just run through the standard procedures for that one again, just to be sure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Then use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. (Launch CleanUp, find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, and remove those entries.)
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?
(If any step of this procedure failed to work, explain to us as best you can what the problem was.)

Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

Hey try this out:
Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
Let me know if this works out.

Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

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...

After iTunes upgrade iTunes won't run

When I started my iTunes earlier today (after a long time of not using it), I got a message saying that my current version (6, I think) was outdated and that I should upgrade to the newest version which is 7 (I think.) So I did that and now iTunes will not run at all! I keep getting a message saying something very similar to "QuickTime version 7.1 is installed; iTunes requires QuickTime 7.1.3 or higher; reinstall iTunes." So I have re-downloaded iTunes+QuickTime v. 7.1.5 several times and reinstalled, but I keep getting that same message. I can run QuickTime 7.1.5 which is definitely installed on my computer, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize it. Meanwhile, I have no iTunes and my iPod which was being updated continues to display :do not disconnect." Please Help

let's try swapping out your QuickTime using a slightly different technique.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any 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.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll 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?

11.1.4 gives me an error message that says Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Now, iTunes won't work at all.

Itunes won't run after download

You appear to be able to backup your contacts without iTunes. Google "backup iphone contacts without itunes".
The way to avoid having to get a tech person in is to get past the idea that your problem (which you still haven't defined) is "beyond my ability to fix". ;-)

Hi,
As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.

After upgrading to iTunes 8.0.2, iTunes won't open at all

I used to use iTunes 7.0.4 and recently tried updating to 8.0.2. Once I installed the new upgrade, iTunes won't open! I double click, use the Run feature, etc etc without any luck. I also tried to re-install an earlier version of iTunes but for whatever reason that won't download correctly. I am hesitant to un-install and then re-install for fear of losing my entire library - any suggestions??
Thanks so much in advance!

Had the same problem with the new update. I finally got back to my previous version by using system restore. After the restore I had to go to the "All Programs" list and click on Quicktime and iTunes individually to allow them to re-configure, then had to restart the computer again. After that all's well. My lbrary was intact.
I tried everything to get the newest version to work, including completely uninstalling my current versions of QT and iTunes, then downloading the latest directly from the Apple website, but, after 3 attempts, nothing worked. Guess I'll have to wait for the next update and try again.
By the way, your library is not actually stored in iTunes--it is stored in your Music folder, so you should not lose anything by uninstalling iTunes if you need to.

HT201210 Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
