ITUNES WONT OPEN AGAIN

I have been using the itunes program for a while and just the other day i tried opening it and this error message popped up. ITUNES has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience. Then there is two buttons.... send the error report or .....don't send. Can someone help me please

i click the desktop icon and it shows the loading hourglass pointer but then the itunes icon flashes quickley to a white icon with those little coloured squares in a box ten goes back to the itunes icon.
some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) 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?

it said the same think
Ahhh. "QuickTime Player has encountered a problem" is one of the possible messages in this sort of context.
So let's first try swapping out your QuickTime.
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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
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?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or the iTunes repair install, let us know what it says.)

Hello Dr.Help,
Thank you for providing so much information about the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. It sounds like you have tried reinstalling it, but nothing happens when you launch it. I recommend following the steps in this article to resolve launch issues with iTunes:

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

Itunes Wont Open!!!Error -50

My Itunes wont open ever since i upgraded to 6.0.before that everything worked fine.ive tried many of the techniques and none have worked.plz help me!!!

hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
preliminaries
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
uninstall
use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
reboot after uninstalling.
reinstall
remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
keep us posted on your progress.

You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

Itunes wont open-reinstall doesnt solve

itunes wont open and when i try it says it cant open b/c some of its required files are missing and to reinstall itunes. so i went to this website and d/l it again and clicked repair. that didnt work. then i tried uninstalling/deleting everything and re-installing it and both when i tried repairing and re-installing altogether, a message came up having to do with quicktime..it read something like : quicktime error: -3
HELP!

For the QT error -3, I'd try the standalone QT install first.
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 when iPOD is connected.. if it does... comp wont recognize

Evrytime I plug in my iPOD, my computer and/or iPOD either freezes, or iTunes wont open. This is happening all of the sudden. It works when plugged into the wall and my iPOD also works normally at work! UGH can anyone help
HP Windows XP

I think I have the same problem.
Like I just did a reset, then reloaded all my stuff, and then like and hour later I do an update, and iTunes tells me it don't reconize my iPod. Tells me to do a reset again.
iPod plays fine, off the cradle.

ITunes wont open it says...

iTunes wont open it says...
iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT KEEPS EVERYTHING THE SAME?

I am having the same issue today with the error message: "The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software".
I have done the "Repair" as you and KStyles513 suggested, and restarted my computer (did both procedures twice) but that did not work. I am still getting the same message. Today I get this message.
When the message appears, iTunes does open but when I click OK my iPhone dissappears from the Devices and I cannot see it again.
iTunes 10.5.2.11 is the version I currently have loaded. I'm using a Windows XP platform, all updates are current.
What can I do to fix this?

Dell Windows XP

hiya!
but my itunes just doesnt open. i just installed
itunes 6.0 and now my itunes wont open and there is
no flashing quicktime and itunes icons or a user
agreement.
all the following suggestions assume that you're
getting no error messages whatsoever.
let's just check up on something. reboot the PC. open
Task Manager to the Processes tab. now try to launch
itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if
so, does it persist in there?
if it appears and persists, let's check up on the
following possibilities first.
if you have Norton Internet Security 2005,
first see:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if
firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, try the trusty Lorraine
M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem
rectified
if you don't have NIS 2005, or problems
persist, let's check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after
upgrading
but if no itunes.exe appears in Task Manager, or
it appears and then disappears after a few
seconds, post back. we're going to have to check
on a different set of possibilities.
love, b
sorry i'm jumping in, but I think you can help me...my problem is similar, but in the process tab, for me itunes.exe is not there. Would you know why?

Repair permissions on your HD using Disk Utility. iTunes will open again.

Itune wont open when iphone connected.

When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

My itunes wont open it tells me that my itunes library was updated by a newer version on itunes but my software is uptodate any one else have this prob?

Look under your Start Menu for Apple Software Update, but before doing that, check the time and date on your computer that it's correct.
It's also saying the iTunes Library .XML file in your iTunes Folder file is new, for some reason, but your songs should be still in the iTunes Folder.
You can move the XML file out and restart iTunes and it shoudl creat another, you lose your playlists and have to import all your music again.
