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.

My itunes wont open ! No error message

My itunes wont open ! When I click on the icon nothing opens, not even an error message. Iv tried opening it from Windows Task Manager > Processes > Itunes.exe but nothing seems to work ! Itunes doesnt open when I sync my iphone either ! Please help

Hi b,
I think I'm having the same problem as Vanessa (and a lot of others from the sound of it). When I click on my iTunes shortcut the hourglass pops up for a second and then nothing happens. I can't access the music store from the net either (I get a message that says "Loading... Please wait" and then nothing happens). I've turned off my firewall (Norton Personal Firewall 2003)and that didn't help. I tried Lorraine's fix with installing the files in Norton one by one and telling them to be permitted and that didn't work. I also tried a stand alone installation of Quicktime and that helped some (the quickTime player window does now pop up for a split second before disappearing when I click Quicktime) but I still can't access the music store. I thought I'd try your suggestion of looking in the task manager for my itunes.exe file but I can't find the task manager. Where is it?

ITunes wont open-I get error message...

Hello,
I recently built my own computer, and it has been working almost flawlessly for months.
About a week ago, I installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my computer, and suddenly I was not able to open iTunes. I just get the error message that says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I have:
-uninstalled Adobe Photoshop
-reinstalled iTunes multiple times
-rebooted
-copied iTunes program files from working computer
^none of the above have worked. Any ideas?

Oops, nevemind, I got it working again. I had installed a crappy codec pack that was obviously interfering with iTunes. I uninstalled the codec pack and, TAADAH!!, it worked.

ITunes not opening. NO ERROR MESSAGE

I cannot get iTunes to open. When I double click on it, the "hour glass" shows up, and I give it a minute or more, but the program does not open? I have the updated verision, but cannot get it to open. No error message when I try to open it...no program...nothing. Nothing at all.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you

I'm having a similar problem. When I open Itunes I'm asked for my password but it doesn't allow me to enter my password or do anything else at all! When I then open task manager I find Itunes is not responding.
I have tried closing other programs, restarting the PC, downloading a new version of Itunes and repairing (that didn't work), then uninstalling and then reinstalling (same problem!)
What can I do? I can't sync or anything!

Quicktime Wont Open! no error message

Im operating on Windows XP but when i open quicktime it wont run it simply pops up for a secound and vanishes there is also no error message. This is also stoping me from running my itunes. I recently tired to to this in safe mode and it works there, however i cant add songs while in safe mode so it defeats the purpose. is there something blocking quicktime (no virus or spyware protection running) or is it just my version of XP? please help?

hiya!
Im operating on Windows XP but when i open quicktime it wont run it simply pops up for a secound and vanishes there is also no error message.
with those symptoms, the first thing you should check for is a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

Good luck.

Itunes wont start *with* microsoft error message

WHen i try to start itunes i get and error message that asks to send in error report, and when i click the technical info about the error it says that this file "f462_appcompat.txt" was included in the error.
Any ideas i have tried uninstalling both itunes and quicktime.

actually i get an Microsfot Visual C++ Runtime Library Error
Okay. Let's try swapping out that QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time.
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 you have "hide filename extensions for known file types" enabled on the PC, those 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?

PS CS2 won't open due to error message regarding RAM...

I've been running Photoshop CS2 since it came out and never had any real problems. Then the other night I loaded approx 20 custom shape files that had about 10 shapes each from ActionFx. I played with them for a while and everything was working fine. Then I shut my computer down that night. The next morning I tried to open Photoshop and got the following message "could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM).
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this so I'm pretty desperate for help. Finally, I resorted to uninstalling just the Photoshop component of CS2. Then I defragged and reinstalled. When that didn't work I uninstalled all of CS2 including my preferences. Defragged again and then reinstalled. All of the other components open and work (Illustrator, GoLive, InDesign, etc.) but Photoshop is still a no go
Something I found really strange is that while the error message is up on the screen I can still see all my layer styles and actions (even though I've uninstalled everything twice now). Of course, as soon as I click ok on the error message everything closes and Windows says "Adobe Photoshop CS2 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the problem and notify you if a solution is available." Needless to say no solution is ever offered.
Here's my system:
Dell Laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate
Memory (RAM): 4 GB
Hard Drives:
C (1 actual hard drive): 149 GB     Free: 103 GB
D & E (1 hard drive partitioned):
          D: 135 GB      Free: 40.6 GB
          E: 13.2 GB     Free: 12.6 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
Sorry for the long post. Any help will be deeply appreciated!!!

Thank you for replying John.
1. I realize not on Vista at the beginning. I'm sorry, I thought this was obvious. Since the problem I'm having is a recent issue, I only thought listing my current system would be important (I've had this system since 2007).
2. Tried using the Alt, Control, and Shift method but nothing happened. Went to where the FAQ said the preferences file would be and there isn't a preferences file there. Did a search for it on my whole system (just to be sure) and found nothing. Having done all of that I'm assuming the file has been deleted... If there is anywhere else I should look I would really appreciate a heads up. I am at a complete loss as to what to do next besides upgrade (which I can't afford) so that I can work.
I am not a computer person by any means. Everything I have learned regarding computers has been through a few classes and lots and lots of reading books on my own. I was starting to feel pretty decent about myself & computers (I guess that'll teach me).
As I stated before, this whole issue started after installing several shapes. I've gone to Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Presets to try and delete the shapes but there is nothing there but the orig. Adobe presets. The same goes for the rest of the preset files. None of the Layer Styles, Actions, etc. show up. Is there anywhere else I should look?
Thank you again John for replying earlier.
I can't complete any of my work until this issue is resolved so again, any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
I don't understand why the spaces between the paragraphs keeps going away...sorry if it's hard to read.

Itunes wont open/ immediate "send error report message"

So I had a problem with me trying to install itunes 7.3 because of a missing itunes.msi. I followed the instructions i found from this forum as follows
"1. Go to http://www.ccleaner.com/ and download and install CCleaner. Run this program and click Run Cleaner. This program will remove most of your temporary files.
2. Go to http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1b d/msicuu2.exe and download and install Windows Install Clean Up utility. Click on iTunes and click Remove. Do the same for Quicktime.
3. Now you need to manually delete all of your iTunes and Quicktime files. This can take a very long time. Just go to C: and start searching through.
4. Go to the Run box and type in "regedit". Go through all of the folders in there and delete all iTunes and Quicktime files.
5. Go to Add/Remove Programs and Remove iTunes and Quicktime.
6. Download iTunes again and install it."
I then tried to open itunes and immediately a message pops up asking if i want to send an error report to microsoft. It seems as though step 4 might have truly made things worse.
Someone please help
Windows XP

After you get the send error report message go to:
Start -> Control Panel (In classic view which can be enabled by clicking view classic.) -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer.
Select the Application log and look for the most recent errors (Marked by a red X).
Double click on the error and it will show you a full description. For an error similar to the one you are recieving it should report a 'faulting module' in the error.
Please paste that here. This will help us help you.

Did iTunes ever work? Did this horrid message just start suddenly?
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 and shows error report.

iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback. So it's best not to uninstall it if you want to use iTunes.
When that message you're getting cites that "Offset: 10004000", almost invariably it's caused by a broken QuickTime. So let's try swapping that out again, this time applying some additional explicit precautions.
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).

hi kristen!
iTunes has encountered a problme and needs to close.
the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch?
if not, first try a careful standalone QT install. see:

keep us posted.
