    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.

  • Firefox does not open at all since I updated to version 3.6.4, not even when I re-download it.

    Firefox crashes (does not open at all) since I updated to version 3.6.4. Not even when I re-downloaded it several times. Now, even the old version doesn't start. I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.4. It doesn't show that pop up window that explains why it crashed. It just stops and quits.

    Hello everyone.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
    In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

    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.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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'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 open at all

    A while back my HDD crashed so I got a new one. Now when you go to open itunes nothing at all happens. It's like it doesn exist. Several times I have went through every itune/ipod file i can find and trashed them and reinstall itunes but nothing diff happens...
    Any ideas?

    All it does is blink a window that looks to be like a certificate prompting me to accept or decline, but it dissapears before i get the chance to click on it.
    pandie, do you see similar behavior if you try to launch your QuickTime? (a quick "flash" of a screen and then nothing, with no error messages whatsoever?)
    if so, check your PC for a Qoologic adware infestation. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Itunes wont open windows 7 tried everything online

    hi
    my itunes wont open at all on windows 7 it worked at first but now not at all.
    i have tried every fix i can find online and nothing.
    -checked if it was user
    -checked quicktime
    -tried opening in safe mode
    -uninstalled several times
    -checked roaming files
    nothing? any help would be greatly appreciated!

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    I did notice a previous thread and looked in the sysWOW64 folder and there are no Quicktime folders in there so not sure if thats right or not :/

    Fault Module Name:          QuickTime.qts_unloaded
    Fault Module Version:          0.0.0.0
    Interesting. I think an iTunes version 10.5.x ought to be able to launch without having a QuickTime.qts on the system. So the problem report might be lying to us in this instance.
    It might be best to swing into general principles mode and try working through the following document:
