ITunes won't run. Why?

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1 on it. I installed itunes from the website and it continues to say iTunes has stopped working properly and closes. Why?
Thanks,

Itunes won't run after download

itunes won't run after download. simply asks to acknowledge agreement which I did. help

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". ;-)

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.)

ITunes won't run at all after updating 10.5

Anyone? Please?

TS3297 updated iTunes won't run on iMac OS X 10.6.8

I have the updated iTunes 11.0.3 and OS X 10.6.8 but now my iMac won't let me open iTunes as it says it is not supported. My Mac is a late 2006 and so, I cannot download OS Mountain Lion (if that is a potential solution), so I don't know how to get iTunes to open now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello sphsphsph,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. You may need to reinstall iTunes, the following link will assist with downloading the latest version of iTunes and then run the installer.

Itunes won't run, Win 7 Pro 64 Bit

Itunes 11.0.1 will not run. For that matter 10.X won't run either. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit. Multiple uninstall's and reinstalls, still no joy. I am extremely displeased (I own 5 Apple products crippled by this).

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

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.

Flash Drive Won't Run, Why??????

My question is not about Cloud, but your Flash Player as it's not on your list of products, I used this. I installed it to use my web cam to take photos and file them for furture us and to attach to CV,s. It's installed, my computer says it's installed,
but it won't run and it has locked out any other use of my web cam. Why????

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this can be found here:

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.

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?

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 in Vista

After a new install of the latest download, iTunes will not run in Vista Ultimate. I don't get any error messages, just a notice that "iTunes encountered a problem and will close."
The same download works fine in XP (dual boot system).
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and downloading again, with no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Jeff

iTunes also dies for me about every-other time I try to open it with my ipod attached (version 7.2.0.34). I'll install the newer version and see if that helps. It also still blue screens about every third time I try to sync, though its admittedly better that 7.1.
If I open quicktime the win-host process for aero interface dies, everytime. And if I leave it open, it blue screens. I can't watch any videos in iTunes or QT. It starts out playing with very poor video refresh, but eventually blue screens, everytime.
I have an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT (which I love) and an ASUS P5NSLI motherboard, FYI.
I hope this info is helpful. I'm getting realy frustrated, since iTunes/QT is the only app I'm still having trouble with in Vista. Everything else work great--really, hard to beleive I know!

Firefox won't run why not?

Today is 9/8/10 this morning I used Firefox and it worked fine but later this evening no matter what I try Firefox won't run. I have yet to try deleting Firefox and re-installing it I would like to avoid this so I dont loose my history or my favorites

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Itunes won't run since downloaded 7.2

itunes was working fine until I installed 7.2 now it says "can't run due to a problem with audio configuration. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it did the same thing. Now I have lost everything I have on itunes.

can't run due to a problem with audio configuration
that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
the following document may be of some assistance:
