ITunes Won't Start In Windows 7 Ultimate

For a year I've been using the latest version of iTunes on a Dell XPS 17 laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate without incident. Suddenly iTunes won't open. There is no Apple Push process running and trying to run it as Administrator did nothing. I tried rebooting several times, but that also did nothing. Can anyone help?

Restart Computer.

ITunes won't start on Windows 7

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x84
I have problem with iTunes. When I click the icon it wont open. It load something and nothing hepened. I read some articles here. Try to run it in Safe Mode by holding Shift and Ctrl when I start it and it says "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Then I try to open it on normal way but it wont open again. I check this locations
C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins
They are both empty. There is nothing in the folders.
P.S. I make the folders visable
I also try to reinstl it some times.
Pleace tell me what to do.
Sorry for my spelling but I'm not very good at english.

Apple, in there infinite lack of wisdom, has programmed itunes to connect to the store before it can open. If it takes too long (which it will on almost every 64bit Windows computer), itunes times out and does not start.
It will appear in the task manager but never opens.
I have done all of the Apple suggestions - Delete files, delete all apple programs, remove everything apple from the registry, repair everything apple - bonjour, quicktime, etc., deleted quicktime, deleted all apple folders after uninstalling everything, restarted computer and reinstalled itunes, etc. After the last itunes opened once and wouldn't open again.
If I disable my internet access before opening itunes it opens every single time. After that if I re-enable internet service everything works like normal.
Unfortunately, itunes continues to never open on my Windows 7 64bit pc IF IT HAS ACCESS TO THE INTERNET!
Does anyone know how I can stop itunes from trying to connect to the internet when it starts? I unchecked auto everything.

ITunes won't start on Windows 7 after update

Last night I had the misfortune of succumbing to iTunes' suggestion to update. Afterwards it failed to start without a single error message. A forum here suggested to update the quicktime player as well, did that. QT player works fine but iTunes still won't start. The exe appears in the processes list but does nothing. HELP!!!!

Did you try and update through itunes or download the installer from the apple website?
I've read some where its better to just download the stand alone installer from apple and
do it that way.

Itunes won't start & Freezes Windows Vista - Please Please Help!!

Hey Guys,
Ever since I've upgraded to Itunes 10.1.2, my itunes won't even open. I click the icon on my desktop, I get the swirly circle for a bit, and then it stops. In the task manager, itunes.exe is listed as one of the processes, but doesn't seem to be running. I've tried EVERY solution I could find in these forums. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes about 6 times now, and I've even tried older versions. But nothing works. I've ran malware software, disabled my antivirus, and even tried to get the guys at the genius bar to help me (unfortunately they're not as well versed in PCs).
If you have any clues as to what may be going on - PLEASE Please Help me!! I'm a huge music buff, and it's been a MONTH since I last used itunes, and I would really love to have it back!
I will say this - occasionally after I reinstall itunes, a window that shows "checking music library" will pop up, but I'll wait for 45 minutes, and nothing will happen. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I have a good 100 GB of music on my external hd, but everything worked fine before.
Thank you all so SO much for your help, any input is greatly appreciated!

Really? Can no one help me?!

ITunes won't start in Windows

I've used ITunes for many years. Just upgraded to 8 and suddenly ITunes won't open. It throws the error message "the Itunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location is in the ITUNES folder in the My Music folder.
The Library file was there, but it was "changed". I tried to delete that file and replace it with a backup library file in the same directory but that didn't work. I've tried to "repair" the installation and that didn't work. I've tried to remove the app and reinstall. All produce the same error message.
Please help.

I got the same sort of problem but i cant find were to create a topic so post it here for now.

ITunes won't start after Windows 7 Repair install

Hi there
I recently had to repair my Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition installation. It warned me before reinstalling that there could be some problems with iTunes following the repair but I followed the instructions to counter this and repair Windows 7. i.e. I uninstalled all iTunes software as outlined on Apples pages.
On opening Windows 7 again I ended up with a Blue Screen of Death - this pointed me to a faulty iTunes installation - I checked control panel and sure enough it was not listed as uninstalled. I therefore followed online instructions to completely remove iTunes and used Revo Uninstaller Pro to catch anything I missed. All looked good, I rebooted my machine and then went to install iTunes again. I chose the 64bit installer from the site and installed as normal. I have now tried to open iTunes (to sync my iPhone) and it thinks about it for a second and then never opens. On opening task manager I can see iTunes.exe*32 (does this mean 32 bit and if so why when I've DEFINITELY got the 64 bit installation), iTunesHelper.exe*32 and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe*32 all in Processes - they are not in open programs.
Even stopping these processes does not help. iTunes was working fine before my Windows 7 problems on this machine and all other software seems ok too following my repair. Can someone please assist me in getting iTunes to work again with my computer as this is very frustrating. This is not the first time it has happened to me - on my old Vista machine (different machine totally) this happened once or twice intermittently but then seemed to resolve itself. I have defrag, disk doctor and run just about every utility I have installed to get my system working ok and the only problem seems to be iTunes. I'd therefore appreciate help in resolving this.
Many thanks

that is a shame. ... early adopters bleed again.... so i guess it is an Apple issue as it worked then update then nada.
Hhhmmm! So which bit of "it's not yet supported" do you not understand?
Although the definition of an early adopter is open to dispute, it is fairly obvious that that's the price you pay for being an early adopter - especially if you insist on adopting before the product is actually supported.
I guess - no I think - that the issue is yours, not Apple's They have given no undertaking yet, to support Windows 8 but you go ahead anyway.
And then you complain about it.
It's not that I'm unsympathetic, but it's a bit much that effectively, you were asked to wait, you ignore that, and then try to hold Apple responsible. Perhaps, next time, a little patience might be in order.

Encore CS5 won't start on Windows 7 Ultimate

I recently installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. I tested all of the applications in the suite and they all worked with the exception of Encore. When I launch the program it stalls on the "initializing PSD Support" window. I reinstalled the program and it had no affect. The softwares hangs there until I stop it in task manager. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you fix it?

Hi everyone,
I found out why this wasn't working. I am running the trial software and apparently this is the only program in Master Collection that can't be run in trial mode. Also, I had to put the program in Windows Vista Compatibility mode before it gave me the correct error message.
Hope this is helpful for some of you that are kicking the tires of CS5 Master Collection.

With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration. Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration. Is there a fix for the incompatibility? I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart. I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.) Thanks.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Itunes won't start up in Windows 7

iTunes won't start up in WIndows 7. Double click on it and it looks like it is going to start but nothing happens...

I am having the same problem. I didnt have quicktime on my computer, so i downloaded that and still not opening. I have re-installed it 3 times, restarted my computer multiple times. try'd launching in compatable mode (95,xp,and vista), tried running as admin, and have tried restoring previous versions,and now even those wont start. It was working fine, untill i installed the new update 2 days ago. i think it was update 11.0.1, im pretty sure i had 11.0.0
Any other suggestion?

IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

how did you test that ?
anyhoo, you might want to give this a shot:
+Hi, All,+
+It works now, It suddenly stopped detecting due to unknown reasons, but try these steps.+
+Restart the device without connecting to your pc and+
+Connect to pc and restart again, I did this 2 times and it was recognized and its working fine.+
+Best of luck.+
here's the original thread: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected
if still no joy, it could be that your Touch is a goner. if it is still under warranty, you should plan a trip to the nearest Apple store.
