Itunes wont open! help help help!

i just upgraded my itunes to 7.3.1. it wont open at all! i've uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing happens! it just does not open at all and i'm getting really really frustrated.
what versions of itunes work with the 30gb iPod video with color (all that, etc)? because i'm thinking that this version doesnt work with my computer or something like that and that really really *****!
somebody help me! please!

Let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes fails to launch situations:
Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
If there's not an error mesage, go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
Does it start?
If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message? If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
And one other question for now, do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?

Itunes wont open - tried everything, help!

I have installed the new itunes and now it wont open, i've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, installed new versions etc.
Anyone got any advice?

I got this from somewhere else in the communities -- and it worked! Here it is just as the person who posted it .
+Hi People, thanks for your help. I had the same problem. After being prompted to update to iTunes Ver. 9.1 I went ahead and let it automatically update and install iTunes and Quicktime. After updating to Ver. 9.1, iTunes would not open or run on my Windows XP system. It would show up in "processes" as a running program but would not show up on my screen.+
+After reading your discussion about how Bonjour would interfere, I tried to uninstall it. It wouldn't uninstall because it is using one of the processes. I tried quite a few things including completely uninstalling all Apple programs and reinstalling iTunes. I manually uninstalled Bonjour. No luck!+
++Here's what you need to do. After reinstalling iTunes, Navigate to the Program Files\ Bonjour+ folder and rename this folder Bounjour.Old. Restart the computer. Bounjour service should not now show up as a service in Administrative Tools\Services. DELETE the Bonjour.old folder. THEN go to Control Panel - Remove Programs and REMOVE Bounjour. It will now uninstall sucessfully.+
+After doing this iTunes started right up, loaded all my old settings, and recognized my iPod just like normal. Hooray and good luck.+

Hi there,
New user to discussion forums.
Are you able to help?
I have checked out the iTunes.exe in Task Manager, and yes it disappears from the Processes view in Task Manger when I close the frozen application (by 'right clicking and closing' on the minimized iTunes tab at the bottom of my screen). I do not appear to have QuickTime installed now, also.
Also when open iTunes I get a 'Warning! The registry settings used by iTunes drivers for improting and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cds burning software. Please re-install iTunes' message, which needs to be 'OK'd'. After a slight pause iTunes opens but immediately freezes. JAY
I am having a similar problem. A few days back I was asked to upgrade my version of iTunes. Since then it won't open correctly, and when it finally decides to open it freezes on my PC. I am then unable to close the application using the close option on iTunes. I need to close it via my Task Manager. I noticed the iTunes download includes a QuickTime download at the same time. I cannot open QuickTime due to a 'Buffer overun'. I am so confused and have no idea what to do. I have lost count of the amount of times I have uninstall iTunes and then re-install it. I have noticed I do not seem to be able to uninstall QuickTime using the uninstall option. CAN ANYBODY ADVISE PLEASE? I have a PC and use Windows XP Home Edition.

Itunes wont open! please help me

i logged into itunes about a week ago and it asked me to upgrade so i agreed after the installation i had to restart my computer so i did, from then on itunes just will not open sometimes i get an error message and sometimes not, i have tried everything the website said and i have uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all prob 5 or 6 times. i called in to apple support and the guy said he didnt know what to do and so i should email for support so i did that, i explained all my problems and it said i would get a response within 72 hours, this was over a week ago and still i have no response. im using windows xp if anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much
Windows XP

Hey there,
So, Tell me, Do you see iTunes and Quicktime in your processes tab? (hit CTRL ALT DEL) Which Service Pack of XP do you have? Which firewall and antivirus are you running on your PC?
At this point, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is just an exercise for the fingers and makes a mess of your computer. So, post back with the answers and we will go from there.

My itunes wont open. Please help!

I have a new computer, and have transferred all of my old files already etc., but when I downloaded Itunes and tried to open it, it starts up and tries to access the itunes store, then tells me there is a problem and closes it, but doesn't tell me what the problem is. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried unistalling and reinstalling, but I get the same result which is really frustrating

What happens when you manually start iTunes after your iPod is plugged in?

My itunes wont open...Help.!!

Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

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 need help backing up music on external hard drive

My itunes wont open after upgraded to 8 , ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime and still wont work. i found a topic to possibly help me but i dont know how to tranfer my music to an external disk drive without being able to open itunes. i am getting so frustrated. please help

A usb hard drive that Windows sees doesn't need software for a simple back up.
Format the hard drive Disk Management, if it doesn't come already formatted, and then drag and drop the iTunes folder and whatever other data you want to back up to it.
What you're describing doesn't sound like something iTunes did. If you're having general install troubles you have another problem with your system and it's time for a little troubleshooting to find out what's really going on.

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.
