ITunes wont open it says...

iTunes wont open it says...
                iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT KEEPS EVERYTHING THE SAME?

I am having the same issue today with the error message:  "The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software". 
I have done the "Repair" as you and KStyles513 suggested, and restarted my computer (did both procedures twice) but that did not work.  I am still getting the same message.  Today I get this message.
When the message appears, iTunes does open but when I click OK my iPhone dissappears from the Devices and I cannot see it again.
iTunes 10.5.2.11 is the version I currently have loaded.  I'm using a Windows XP platform, all updates are current.
What can I do to fix this?

  • HELP ME!!!! itunes wont open, error says could not open key......

    I attempted to update itunes to the newest upgrade, and the upgrade was unsucceful, and now this error comes up everytime i try to open itunes (it wont open at all). the error says
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.wav\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe.
    Verify that you have sufficent access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    This makes no sense since this is on my home PC

    hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
    preliminaries
    download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
    uninstall
    use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    ... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    reboot after uninstalling.
    reinstall
    remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
    reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
    if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
    iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened

    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:

  • After installing itunes 10.5 itunes wont open it says i have an error , i need help so i can update my ipod , HELP!!

    after instaling itunes 10.5 i cant open itunes , my pc says its an error . . what do i do  ?

    In order to download iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8, you have to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here.  After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7.

  • Itunes wont open. Says some files are required and to reinstall

    I have done it twice and still it says the same thing. can someone please help

    Hi together.
    Now that I've been working on this problem for a couple of days I still have no idea how to solve it.
    During the installation process for iTunes 7.5 an error-window pops up with the message "iTunes cannot run because some of its requiered files are missing." I've tried to un- and reinstall all components several times without any success. I also tried installing older versions of iTunes with the same result. Starting QuickTime ends on reporting Error 2093. Also re-installing Windows fresh and virginal did not help anything.
    The error messages occured first after installing Win XP Pro's SP2 on my computer. Before that everything worked fine. I would have gone back to SP1, but I need that **** SP2 for Visual Studio.
    Maybe there's someone out there who knows how to cope with that.

  • ITunes wont open from my external hard drive onto my new laptop

    i have an external hard drive connected to my desktop with all my itunes music on there. but when i connect the external to my new laptop, itunes wont open. it says i dont have itunes support or something like that. and the reason i have my music on the external is so i CAN open itunes from another computer. but this isnt happening right now. someone please help.

    yea it is an error 2
    Many thanks.
    We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.)
