Itunes wont open on Windows XP

I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

hi Singh!
is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
keep us posted

Itunes wont open with windows 7

I've tried a previous post that suggested a bonjour fix and it didn't work for my problem.I really hate that EVERY time I do an itunes update I go through major issues to work out the bugs!!! I love my ipod, but this is becoming more of a problem than the thing is worth to me.

Enable the guest account in Windows 7 and see if itunes will open in that account.
This will tell us if it's a user-specific problem, or system-wide.
Then work through the steps here,depending on what you find in the guest account.

Itunes wont open in windows 7 32 bit

Itunes will not open in windows 7. I get a message stating that Apple support is not loaded.

Someone else suggested uninstalling Quicktime. I did that, and it worked for my 64bit Windows 7. Good luck!

My Itunes wont open and windows will send out an error message

Hello
I was working with Itunes for a long time with no problem what so ever until suddenly yesterday when I opened it I recived an error message from windows saying the process has to close and will I want to send out an error report to windows.
I went on to move my Itunes library and repair the Itunes via the downloaded installation file but when it did not work I uninstalled it completly and reinstalled it with no effect...
If any one have any idea as to how to solve this pls help....
thank you

windows installer has stopped working
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

Itunes wont open after windows renamed the external HDD's name

My computer renamed my external HDD's letter designation from F: to G: and iTunes would not open anymore, it would say the itunes folder cannot be found or created and it is required, the original folder should be located within "my music" folder.
I tried everything including reinstalling itunes many time but it would not work, i even tried to delete the whole itunes folder and imported my roomate's itunes folder on my computer and itunes still would not open.
I tried to use windows power toy program to change the special folder address, but the folder "my music" is missing from the list while everything else is on there.
Some help would be greatly appreciated

Well you did far more work and possibly screwed up your pc for an easy fix. You can change the drive letter through the utility called "Computer Management"
If you open windows exploder, you should see a "My Computer" listed in the left window. Rt click on that and select Manage from the context menu. In the left window you should see Disk Management. Here is the list of all drives and their letters. You know unless you added a drive that was already designated F then windows shouldn't rename drive letters without you manually changing it.
When you say you deleted the whole itunes folder what do you mean? Did you delete C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\My Music? If you cant recreate this folder, then my suggestion would be to use TweakUI to reset the My music folder in the windows OS.

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?

ITunes wont open windows 7 64-bit

Ive been searching for over an hour, iTunes wont open on windows 7 64-bit. The process is running in task manager. I did all of the troubleshooting steps on: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
I also have uninstalled and reinstalled.
I found some other threads and from what I can tell quciktime runs fine and it is not a conflict with Bonjour. I have disabled all non system process from running and it will still not open. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also I am running iTunes 10.5 but have also tried it on 10.2

Solved problem by creating new iTunes library, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
under User-specific Troubleshooting.
I dont know what the problem was or why this worked, but it did.

Itunes wont open or reinstall..

My itunes wont open in windows so i uninstalled it..but wont let me install it either..anyone else have this prob.. ?????

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

Itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

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 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.
