    Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

  • TS1717 itunes wont open, says its missing msvcr80.dll. I cannot find out how to get this fixed...

    i cannot get computer to open itunes, it keeps saying needs msvcr80.dll i cannot figure out how to fix this.

    Looks to me like Apple's iTunes update isn't applying newer versions of:
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    These are built-in to the setup.exe. The consumer way of fixing them is a total uninstall of iTunes and the above packages. You can include Bonjour but I don't think that's causing the problem. Now when you install iTunes it gets the latest version of these.
    More advanced users can extract the applemobiledevicesupport64.msi and appleapplicationsupport.msi files and run these if already at iTunes 11.1.4. Include the itunes.msi/itunes64.msi if it's an older version of iTunes that's broken. Doing this has repaired my clients without the messy/lengthy process described by Apple on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376

  • Itunes wont open says this:

    All of a sudden when i try to open itunes with or without my ipod in it says this "You cannot open the application "itunes" because another user has it open. Ask the other user to quit the application then try again". And no one else in my house has it open and i try to open my brothers itunes and it works. What should I do?

    Welcome to discussions! This certainly sounds like you have fast user switching turned on in XP. iTunes & fast user do not play nice together. See the following link.

  • Itunes wont open, says Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When I click on my Itunes icon a big box pops up and says Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. And says tell microsoft about the problem, you know. And I've been trying to access the program for three days and it's doing the same thing, I got a trojan horse right before it started doing it, but I've gotten rid of it and scanned many times, it's gone. I also uninstalled and reinstalled both Itunes and quicktime but it still doesen't work, I really need ideas here..lol.

  • 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?

    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?
