Itunes wont open-reinstall doesnt solve

itunes wont open and when i try it says it cant open b/c some of its required files are missing and to reinstall itunes. so i went to this website and d/l it again and clicked repair. that didnt work. then i tried uninstalling/deleting everything and re-installing it and both when i tried repairing and re-installing altogether, a message came up having to do with quicktime..it read something like : quicktime error: -3
HELP!

For the QT error -3, I'd try the standalone QT install first.
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

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.

Same problem here. I have Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and iTunes 11.1.5.5 and I cannot open iTunes. I do not know of anyone who can. This is a widely known problem by users but Apple has yet to acknowledge this issue. There is no known solution.

TS1717 my itunes wont open , any advice to get it to open ? ive already tried deleting it and reinstalling but nothing seems to work.

my itunes wont open, please help. ive already tried deleting it and reinstalling it but nothing seems to work.

Yes there is. You apparently have Hardware damage inside the iPhone from dropping it. You would need to take it into an Apple Store and Pay for an exchange unit, which Apple will do; Apple's Warranty does NOT include replacement for "accidental damage", so the Exchange is not free.

Itunes wont open, no flashing or user agreement

ive seen a lot of posts when itunes wone open, but they say that there is flashing itunes and quicktimes or a user agreement comes on to the screen.
but my itunes just doesnt open. i just installed itunes 6.0 and now my itunes wont open and there is no flashing quicktime and itunes icons or a user agreement.
does anyone know how to solve this?
Dell Windows XP

hiya!
but my itunes just doesnt open. i just installed
itunes 6.0 and now my itunes wont open and there is
no flashing quicktime and itunes icons or a user
agreement.
all the following suggestions assume that you're
getting no error messages whatsoever.
let's just check up on something. reboot the PC. open
Task Manager to the Processes tab. now try to launch
itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if
so, does it persist in there?
if it appears and persists, let's check up on the
following possibilities first.
if you have Norton Internet Security 2005,
first see:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if
firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, try the trusty Lorraine
M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem
rectified
if you don't have NIS 2005, or problems
persist, let's check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after
upgrading
but if no itunes.exe appears in Task Manager, or
it appears and then disappears after a few
seconds, post back. we're going to have to check
on a different set of possibilities.
love, b
sorry i'm jumping in, but I think you can help me...my problem is similar, but in the process tab, for me itunes.exe is not there. Would you know why?

My itunes wont open up on my pc.

Itunes wont open up on my pc. It has worked fine for several years. When i try to open it, it says to reinstall itunes. I am afraid I will lose all music if I do this

I have a similar problem. My itunes won't open unless I click on it multiple times. If I do get it open and I sync my ipod it freezes the entire program. I've tried reloading the program which doesnt work. A friend of mine in Guam is having the same problem. If I get any answers I'll pass them on. Sorry that I can't help you but at least there are others with the same problem

My itunes wont open what do i do

what do i do if my itunes wont open on my mac book

first of all you want to back up all music files before you uninstall itunes. if it wont let you uninstall itunes then right click on itunes in your applications folder, then get info, then go to the bottom and change all permissions to read and write. then close and try to uninstall and reinstall. if that doesnt work then this does :
open apps, go to utilities, open terminal and cut and paste or type in these 3 commands, hitting return after each one.
(first type) killall iTunes
(then hit return)
(then type) killall "iTunes Helper"
(then hit return)
(then type) sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
(and hit return)
after the last one you will be warned and asked to enter your password. do it.
once completed you will see on your itunes icon with a ? shadow inside it.
drag it off the dock and it goes poof.
then download itunes from apple.
if they wont let you download 11.1.5 itunes then use 10.7 Download it from Apple here.
and then install and upgrade to 11.1.5 from there. this is the method i used when my itunes just bounced after installing mavericks. it takes only minutes and your itunes will be as right as rain. enjoy.

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

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.

ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:.

Itunes Wont Open!!!Error -50

My Itunes wont open ever since i upgraded to 6.0.before that everything worked fine.ive tried many of the techniques and none have worked.plz help me!!!

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
keep us posted on your progress.

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.
