Itunes wont launch...help.

I've installed and uninstalled itunes a million times, but it still wont open when i click on the desktop icon...will someone that knows about this issue please help?

I dont have nortons antivirus, but i do have modzilla fire fox, avg free and NOD32 could this be causing the problem?
hmmm. i don't usually associate nod32 with error-message-free itunes launch failures (although sometimes i've seen it interfere with itunes writing to library files). and the brief appearance of itunes.exe is more consistent with malware problems than security software interference. but we'd better check on the security software interference angle anyway.
try making sure that both itunes and ituneshelper are being allowed full access to the internet in your nod32. if you have to change your nod settings to do that, reboot the PC afterwards. do you get an itunes launch after the reboot?

  • Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

    itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

    I have same problem  on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC.    Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far.  Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
      It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes.     Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:-     open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes.   Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS.      I-tunes will now re-open ok.   You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
    A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
    some preliminary questions.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Itunes wont launch, though it says its running

    So heres the deal, got a new comp a few weeks ago and installed itunes on it. I'm running windows XP pro (same as on old one) and when I try to run itunes it wont launch. It says its running in my task manager though. I've tried reinstalling it, but same thing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    ok i think we might be onto something here with the first link, the dosent open after upgrade one. Everything went fine until step 7, the main SCinfo file exists, but the SC Info.sidb file that it shows being inside there is NOT there. Could this be a problem with the installation or something else?
    Though i suppose if it wasent there at all it shouldent hurt as your supposed to delete it anyways....but if thats the case (I certainly didnt delete it already)and the fix is to delete a file that isnt there anyways, i'm not sure that will help.

  • ITunes wont launch without iPod

    OK. So iTunes has been working perfectly up until now. I downloaded and installed the new version of iTunes last night, and all seemed to be fine then too. But, now when I try to open iTunes by itself it will not launch. I get the message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". When I connect my iPod to my computer iTunes launches automatically and works just like normal. It is only when I try to launch iTunes without my iPod connected that it refuses to open. It wouldn't be such a problem but sometimes I want to play my music without having to connect my iPod every time.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I wonder if your desktop icon has got corrupted.
    iTunes auto launches with the iPod as it launches in a different way.
    You could create a new desktop icon to see if that does the trick.
    Open My Computer and got to C:\Program Files\iTunes.
    Right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>> desktop (create Shortcut).

  • QT 7.1: App itself and iTunes wont launch anymore

    i have updated QT 7.xx to 7.1 on a 10.3.9 this morning. now QT and iTunes won't launch no more. there is no warning or anything, but the programm windows wont open.
    HELP please.

    That sounds really bizarre, but somewhat isolated...not seeing/hearing of this widespread.
    Are you clicking on the app itself, or files that you wish to be associated with the app?
    Do you somehow have more than one instance of QT on the same computer? or same partition--more to the point.
    I would
    -make sure I didn't have multiple versions on the same partition.
    - check "get info" on files you think should be associated with an app...see that they still report being associated with it.
    - repair permissions
    If no change in behavior yet, then:
    - uninstall
    - reinstall and again repair permissions.
    good luck

  • My iTunes wont launch even though a correct administrator password is given Why?

    It seems that every time iTunes gets updated I get problems with the launch of it.
    For instance, if I click on the task-bar icon, a request for an administrator password to allow Apple to do its thing on my hard drive comes up and I type it in and it disappears, but does not launch. Furthermore, if I try to uninstall iTunes, I am not allowed to because I dont have administrator rights despite being the owner of my F..ing p.c. I have tried to get round this by creating a further user account (me) with no admin rights. Same thing try as I might I can't use itunes even though a further dowload tells me that iTunes has been "repaired" and updated blah blah ...
