Itunes wont open unless restarting computer

itunes wont open unless restarting computer. Bought my first piece of music through itunes store. Shortly thereafter couldn't open itunes after closing it unless restarting the computer. Had no problems previously. Not very computer savvy. Computer usually opens straight to admin user. Created a new (standard) user account as suggested. Opens,closes,reopens ok there. Tried disabling Bonjour, didn't help. Ideas?

No. Computer set up to automatically open "admin" user account when starting. Only created new "standard" user account to see if that worked.  It did. But still had same problem in admin user account.

  • Itunes wont open on my computer

    a couple days ago i got on itunes just fine
    then the next day i try to get on and it wont
    open. when i double click on itunes it switches from the itunes logo to a file to back to the logo and wont open.

    I am not absolutely certain that i have understood you.
    When you click on iTunes, do you see the hourglass briefly, but iTunes does not open and there is no error message?
    If so open your taks manager after trying to open iTunes and look on the processes tab. Can you see iTunes.exe there although iTunes does not open?
    If so you have a particular type of launch failure that is often associated with problems with cryptographic services.
    Did you make any changes to your system before the problem started?
    If it happened out of the blue, you need to run a scan for malware. It might also be worth a second opinion from an online scan but ONLY use a big name, such as Kapersky or similar. There are many scams out there that introduce malware.
    http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
    You need to be sure your system is clean before starting troubleshooting as malware can not only cause this problem but also interfere with a solution.
    Once you have done that, here is a method for diagnosing the problem, you need to report back with the results and then we can look at a solution.
    Troubleshooting silent launch failure in Windows XP
    Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
    A couple of simple things to try:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
    Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
    But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
    Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
    Start>>Run>>Services.msc
    you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
    Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
    Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
    Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
    If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

  • Itunes wont open after restarting while updating

    I canceled the update and while it was canceling, I restarted computer. I tried to redownload it but the update is on hold. No clue how to resume or fix problem. Help?

    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Itunes wont open on my computer and wont come up when I plug in my Iphone

    Went to use Itunes this morning when I pluged in my Iphone, itunes did come up but was not syncing to my Iphone, so I exited out of it and clicked to open it from desktop but nothing would come up.  I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but still nothing comes up.

    That's the most current version, and rather what I suspected. Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
    Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
    Regards.

  • Itunes wont open in my computer.

    I am running windows 7 and when i click on the icon it will appear on the start bar then it stops responding. I have even deleted the program and reinstalled and still nothing happens.  i now got the latest version but its not running either. I also tried the ctrl+ shift option but it still wont run. HELP

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

    when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
    OS:10.7.2
    Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

    I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
    Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
    I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

    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 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 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?

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

    Restoring your iOS device
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
    Click Restore.
    iTunes may prompt you with a software license agreement. If you click Agree, iTunes will download the iOS software file (.ipsw file) before restoring.
    After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
    Best of luck,
