Itunes wont open after restarting while updating

I canceled the update and while it was canceling, I restarted computer. I tried to redownload it but the update is on hold. No clue how to resume or fix problem. Help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Itunes wont open after 10.5 update in windows 7

  • Itunes wont open unless restarting computer

    itunes wont open unless restarting computer. Bought my first piece of music through itunes store. Shortly thereafter couldn't open itunes after closing it unless restarting the computer. Had no problems previously. Not very computer savvy. Computer usually opens straight to admin user. Created a new (standard) user account as suggested. Opens,closes,reopens ok there. Tried disabling Bonjour, didn't help. Ideas?

    No. Computer set up to automatically open "admin" user account when starting. Only created new "standard" user account to see if that worked.  It did. But still had same problem in admin user account.

    hi Be!
    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 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.
    Regards,

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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):

  • 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
