ITunes wont open after re-instaling win xp..

i just re-installed xp and itunes wont open now, shows this--iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
i tried removing quicktime and itunes and tried re-installing too...but wont help...
i downloaded the old ver 9.2.1.5 but it still wont work....
Pls help....
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.2.1.5 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 6975515c

I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

reboot your computer. open your task manager to the processes tab. now try to launch itunes again.
b if you see an itunes.exe appear there, and persist in your task manager, try

ITunes wont open after upgrade install

Installed the upgrade for iTunes and now it wont open at all. Clicked on the icon, clicked long on the icon and chose open, and lastly tried to open from applications but I get nothing. Not even an error message. Just a blink of the screen. Please help! I have a iMac version 10.6.8

Don't touch your iTunes Music folder. All your iTunes data is stored there completely separate from your iTunes application. You can delete or reinstall your iTunes Application without affecting your data. However, you should be able to use iTunes 9.
iTunes 9 requires OS X 10.4.11 or later and a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor.
It also needs QuickTime 7.6 or later. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Note that there are separate versions for Leopard and Tiger. Pick the right one.

Itunes wont open after updated software last night

iTunes wont open up on my Mac after I updated software last night

Hey there Nedswan,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after it updated recently. I would check for 3rd party plugins that may have lost compatibility when the software was updated first:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
You should see this message before iTunes starts up: "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Note: This is different than Safe Boot or Safe Mode for Mac OS X. You may need to test both at the same time to isolate all third-party interference.
Click Continue and see if any issues persist. If your issues are resolved with iTunes running in Safe Mode, check the following:
Consult the vendor of any plug-ins you installed to see if they're compatible with your version of iTunes and check for any updates that may be available.
Close iTunes and move third-party add-ons to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in these locations:
Mac: /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Itunes wont open after an update from Apple.

My Itunes was working fine 2 days ago untill there was an update for it, i installed the update and now my itunes wont open. I've uninstalled everything from Apple and reinstalled it but still itunes wont open. Any ideas what to do next please?

Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
Hope all this helps

Itunes wont open after trying to install 11.1.4??

iTunes will not open after trying to install 11.1.4 version ??

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 (if this won't uninstall press on)
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.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Error -3 / Itunes wont open after updated with Quicktime 7

I have been having problems with my Quicktimes for over a month. I was unale to take my son to his favortie websites. I was able to disable quicktime as a default, but now two things have happend. I can't open up Itunes, and now I can't hear any sound when I go to my son's favorite website. This happened a few days after I disabled it. I removed, and reinstalled Itunes, it wouldn't open, it said that I need to update. I updated it, and it still wont open. WhenI try to internal repair it it tells my error -3. Please help, I am about to lose my mind!
Thanks in advance

hi geraldo!
When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?
love, b

My itunes wont open after upgrading.

Yesterday, I just updated my itunes and after installing it, it wont open. Somebody please help!!

You need to post more info after reading some of the topics here.
It could be any one of 50 solutions.

HELP! ITunes wont open after Upgrade.

I upgraded the new version of ITunes our of stupidity and it ruined my life. Itunes now wont open. I have tried removing it and re-downloading. I have restarted it and tried everything possible that the support screens say. PLEASE HELP!

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Itunes wont open after being reinstalled

I uninstalled Bonjour and my itunes told me that I needed to reinstall itunes; So I did but it wont open at all now. I have tried a lot of the methods mentioned on this site to get it working again but it still wont. My Quicktime is up to date as well.

http://www.techzonez.com/comments.php?shownews=15345
I have one solution for you.. I just also bought my Ipod VIdeo 60 GB 3 days ago and having problem with Quicktime 7.0.3.
Everytime I click on Itunes Icon on my desktop, it says you have older version of Quicktime 7.0.2, Itunes need 7.0.3 or later to be able to play Itunes, Please reinstall Itunes....I did reintalling adn uninstalling millions of times.. still it was the same problem.
Now what I recommend is to uninstall all Quicktime version and Itunes in your computer. Delete everytime you have... shutdown wait for couple of minutes and then go to the above site address I provided. Only download Quicktime alone. Do not download qiucktime and itunes together.. It is no good. And do not go to Apple site to download because it will download together.. That's not what we want. Download Quicktime 7.0.3 version for windows. After successful installation.. Only then Go to apple site and only download Itunes alone. This will work I guaranteed. Because mine is working now!!! Let me know the outcome.. Good luck!!

Itunes wont open after reinstalling new version

Any ideas on how I can get itunes to open up after installing new versions of it and quicktime?

hi keymobfan!
I think I have seen your replies on other threads. Thanks for trying to help. Is there any way to get a group answer to these questions instead of each one of us with an individual thread?
fair question. for some problems (like chkdsk) a consolidated thread approach is helpful (although Da Gopha would be the best authority on whether or not that's the case). but in practice (with the launch errors) it's best to treat the different cases individually and in independent threads.
there are several different reasons. here are a few of the main ones.
(1) there are two major classes of "launch failure" problems: ones where you get an error message and ones where you don't. sensible everyday-folks typically use the same language to describe the problems, and often don't provide details which would let you work out which class of problems are in play. So, since the treatments for different error messages differ, and also differ from the treatments for the error-less ones, we usually have to check at least once to work out what's going on.
(2) even if we work out that it's (say) an errorless launch failures, there are (currently) three main causes of errorless launch failures. the treatments for each of those three (not to mention the rarer possibilities) are radically different, and some of them are fairly involved. so we typically need to do some diagnostic work to work out what is going on in each case.
(3) sometimes it takes a while (several posts back and forth) to work out what's going on. and more often than not (in multiperson threads) where people are all saying they have the same problem, there turns out to be different problems in play ... and the diagnosis and treatment work for one person ends up being irrelevant (and occasionally inadvisable) for other people in the thread. and every single one of those "irrelevant" posts generates an email notification to the other people in the thread. so people end up accidentally spamming each other in those big consolidated threads.
(4) even when it is clear that there is more than one different problem going on in a thread, you'll still get people leaping into the thread to say "i've got the same problem!" and nothing more (generating another email notification), and with no clear indication (or no indication whatsoever) as to what problem they might have, or at what stage of the diagnosis/troubleshooting process they might be at. so if we were going to deal with them in that thread, we would have to start the diagnostic procedure (generating more email notifications) ...
(5) typically at this stage of proceedings, people start posting in the big threads saying that they can't follow what is going on, because navigation is difficult (generating a new email notification). there's a tendency also for new posters who aren't familiar with the way the reply controls work (and can't really be blamed for that) to post in inappropriate places in "sub-strands" in the threads, making navigation even more difficult.
(6) if you're one of the "advice providers" unfortunate enough to have a good reputation in the forums, and you're spending a lot of time in a particular huge and unweildy thread trying to fix some problems, and people notice that you're posting a lot in there, they have a tendency to threadjack in there in order to try to get your attention, no matter what problem they may happen to have (generating more email notifications) ...
(7) launch problems evolve over time for us, so the fact that a treatment protocol worked and was appropriate for some people at the beginning of a thread is no guarantee that it will help people posting in later. (the NIS 2005 and Ipod Service Errors are two classic examples of that that i can recall.) so it's helpful to let some possible treatments die, so you're not having to say, "no, you should actually do this nowadays" all the time.
and so on, and so on, and so forth ... i could go on, but i'm just getting depressed even thinking about this at the moment. (which is a bad thing. i don't want to have to change my Zoloft dosage again. the transitional effects compromise my ability to give advice.)
so, do a search on "post new topic" constrained by the alias "b noir" and you'll see (probably) dozens of "start your own thread please" posts in recent weeks. on due consideration, i decided it was the better way to approach these problems.
love, b

My itunes wont open after i updated to windows 8

i am so disappointed , been trying to download itunes so many times but it just wont open up. At first i thought because i decided to use English for language but then i downloaded it in Japanese its the same thing. So until when do we have to wait until you fix your own invention.

Hi eshylovesjiggy,
If you are having an issue with iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Windows 7, but the steps should be similar in Windows 8):
