ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

    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.

    The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.

  • My OS X Mountain Lion PDF wont open - invaild code - Please help

    I bought this MacBook Pro on june 21. Its brand new, so yes I qualify for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. I finally got my 2 emails and I seriously have no idea what to do. The instructions make no sense at all. I open the PDF and enter my code I was given via Email and its too long / doesnt fit in the Protected Password PDF. I click enter, doesnt work, I enter parts of it, and it doesnt work. no matter what it doesnt work. I tried entering the code on the Reedem section of the Mac App store, still does NOT work. What am I doing worng? I called the Apple store and they said I was entering the code in worng. I am NOT entering it in wrong, I copy paste it and it just doesnt work. I entered it multiple times with the - and without it and it just wont work! Someone please help! I was promised a FREE mountain lion upgrade and I really want it for the Airplay feature!
    I can provide my Claim number / password if needed.

    Since these forums are user to user only, you will have to deal with Apple on this; I'd suggest emailing their MAS support and telling them that you've gotten an incorrect code (copy/paste it in the email). Ask them for a new one or instructions on what to do with it.
    Just an added thought: when you launch MAS (from your dock, Launchpad, or Applications folder), on the home / front page, do you see a "Redeem" link under Quick Links on the right side of the page? When you click on that, you should get a second window with a "enter your gift card or download code" section? Or is that the place where you've already tried it?

  • My itunes wont open at all??

    I have a windows vista and my itunes store wasnt opening due to something with my network? I checked my network and it was fine. So I downloded the newest version and it opened at first but the problem still continued. Now its not opening at all. Help??

    You will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
    i iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
    Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

    ipad2 can not open at all please help

    Try a reset or reboot.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

    danny,
    it was a little hard to read your post due to your grammar, but I need some more info on you in order to help.
    First off, I need to know which Windows OS you are running? What antivirus and firewall programs are you running? Is iTunes and/or Quicktime installed on your PC?
    Have you gone to Windows Website to download and install any new updates recently?
    Post back and let me know

  • Can't import homeshare music onto laptop,updated operating system now Itunes wont open at all.

    I have an older desktop where the majority of our itunes library is.  I have been using a new laptop where I have downloaded new music to our same itunes account.  Today I turned the desktop on and turned on HOME Sharing in itunes, where the music did show up on my laptop.  I clicked to select all songs but the import button was not highlighted and would not allow me to click it. So I decided to update the operating system to the most current on my desktop, since it has not been used/updated for over a year.  Now Itunes will not even open when I click on it, it just bounces up and down and stops.  I updated the flash player and that did not help.  Now I cant open ITUNES  and homeshare dissapeared on my laptop. My ultimate goal would be to get all the music for itunes off the desktop and on my laptop  Can anyone please help me?

    Do you get an error message when you try to open iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes wont update ipod! please help!

    For some reason when i plug my ipod into my computer it won't update my ipod! It recognises the ipod and says "do not disconnect" but it wont add any new songs at all. I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx

    Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
    Check in iPod preferences.

  • ITunes wont open on Windows Vista. help! i dont want to return my i pod!

    I have fully installed iTunes 9, and whenever I try to open it from the shortcut it states exactly : The folder "iTunes" cannot be created or found. and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" Folder.
    However I somehow moved my original "Music" folder, and created a new one. Yesterday the first time I downloaded iTunes 64setup, it worked. I was able to view apps and movies and music. However now It when I open ITunes it says the above. I have tried removing it and reinstalling and repairing it. NOTHING WORKS! please help!

    Awesomeness!
    Search your hard drive for a file containing ITL in it. That is the file extension for the itunes database file. You might need to set Win Explorer options to show NOT hide file extensions.
    Once you are sure you know where that file is, press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes. Keep holding the shift key until you see a question about choosing or creating a library. Choose the ITL file you found during your search.
    Is this on a Vaio?
