ITunes wont run

I can download and install itunes, the icons appear but itunes and quicktime will not run - 64 bit win7

many thanks.
In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    data execution protection keeps closing my itunes on my sony vaio.also get the messge c:\windows\system32softpub.dll.tried turning of the DEP but itunes wont run without it.no problems with any other programs.any thoughts

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows operating system file there.
    Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:

  • Just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error; now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.  how do i resolve this ?

    just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
    now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes. 
    how do i resolve this ?

    By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
    Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
    You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
    Click "Choose Library ..."
    You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
    Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
    Does your iTunes library open without the error?

  • New itunes wont run in windows 7 64 bit even after full uninstall and reinstall

    after the new itunes 2.2 came out i have been unable to get it to open or run i have fully uninstalled all elements and reinstalled and still it wont run

    it just ask permision to run program then
    ... that's interesting. Is that one of those User Account Control type messages?
    I'd like to see that screen if possible, stew. Could you take a screenshot of that permission message screen (Hold down Alt and press the PrtSc key), paste it into a Paint document (or similar image editor), and save the file. Then reply here, click the wee camera icon, do a Choose file, browse to the file, click "Open file", then click "Insert Image".

  • ITunes wont run, since changed countries ?

    Hi
    I have just moved from NZ back to the UK, when i left NZ my iTunes account and program was working just fine. Now i am back in UK i need to change my store to UK etc, but since i been here i cant even get iTunes to run. It just gets to "not responding" instantly on startup. I read a few topics on here and tried running in safe mode, tried deleting pref files, tried the winsock reset and finally completely uninstalled iTunes and re-installed (quicktime too) and still no good, still does the "not responding" thing...  
    I wouldnt mind so much if it was just affecting my itunes, but i really need to download some UK apps (GPS for work etc) and without changing my counties in iTunes i am stuck on NZ store only..
    If it helps my system is:
    Windows 7 64bit / 4gb RAM
    iTunes 10.5.3 (latest i think)
    Thanks

    Busy helpful forum this eh..........    /sigh

  • Itunes wont run and now i lost my cd drive

    I installed itunes to my windows xp computer and after the installation I tried to run the program. It would not run and now I lost my cd drive. I deleted itunes and then in order to get my drive back I would have to use the windows restore program. But, every time I try to reinstall itunes it does the same thing... program wont work and lose my cd drive. Please help me someone...

    Success! I've finally got itunes up and running on my computer. What I did was go to my control panel and clicked on 'other control panel options.' Here I found the java plug-in icon which I updated, it's pretty straightforward to do that, if you click on it, you'll find the option to do that. I then clicked on the Windows start menu and on programs which said 'apple software update'. I clicked on this and it said searching for software. It found the new version of Quick Time and a security update for it. I installed both of them and double clicked on itunes and instead of expecting it to show the usual error message it started launching! I'm well pleased. My cd drive is still missing but I should be able to find a way to restore it. Hope this info helps someone who's having similar problems!

    If that does not work,you have to follow steps below to uninstall and reinstall Itunes & QuickTime.
    Step 1: Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall iTunes and QuickTime from your computer without leaving any traces of these programs on your computer. Also, uninstall any third party codecs(like K-Lite Codec) installed on your computer using the Programs and Features wizard from the Control Panel.

  • PLEASE HELP iTUNES WONT RUN!!!

    I have uninstalled and downloaed iTunes numerous times.
    Before it just would not open.
    I thought it might be a virus so i went out and spent another $50 on virus protection program.
    I reinstalled iTunes again, installed service pack 2, and installed new verion of Quicktime.
    I've done everything I can think of.
    now when I try to open iTunes I get a message saying:
    " iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later.
    Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for iTunes.exe. "
    I have a Windows XP and installed SP2 which is what the iPod box says is required.
    I am so fed up.
    I worked to save up for the brand new iPod I have been wanting forever now and cant even use it.
    Ive done as much as I can do and ive run out of ideas.
    I dont know how to check the compatibility mode thing its asking me to check.
    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE?!?!?
    thank you.

    Hi judy123,

  • Itunes wont run because it says i am missing file: MSVCR80.dll help?

    so ive recently deleted and reinstalled my iTunes due to an error with the program. both before the delete and after the reinstall it would not open and an error message would pop up on the screen saying that file MSVCR80.dll was missing from my computer.
    not sure what that means but i would like to be able to access my media again. help?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • ITunes wont run in games (on PC, not iPod)

    If I setup my iTunes with a random song, start a game then the song goes totally crazy and skips many parts of the song leaving a noicy voice when it does so.
    So I really wont use it cause I want my ears in good shape some years still.
    This happended JUST when I finnaly decided to get 7.0 (though I really liked the old logo and design). Is there a solution for this or do I have to install the old version again (which I dont mind if theres no other solutions)?
    And also now I'm forced to use the crap of an application called Windows Media Player if I want to hear music in-game (which I want to, often). Please help.

    Bump
    Yeah its strange how making an update (which would be supposed to improve) ruins this program.
    Again if anyone have an answer it'd be really nice. And yes I would also only expect it to do this on large and requiring applications but no its not because of my specs (and besides it worked in the previous version).

  • Error 2 iTunes wont run

    I have a nano and my sister just got an iPod touch for christmas and we had to re-install iTunes when we did i uninstalled our original version and went to re-install it i kept getting a error message saying that Apple Application support is required to run iTunes and i've tried to re-install it like 10 times and nothing will work to get iTunes running at all, and I'd really like to get this up and running for my sister.. any help would be great!
    Thanks

    Using the Control Panel, uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, and Apple Mobile Device Services. Reboot your computer. Download and install the latest version of iTunes for your computer.

  • Itunes wont run after install

    my freind just installed itunes on his computer with no problems, but then he goes to open it and a screen appears saying itunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. does anyone know what is causing this? let me know if you know ANYTHING about this. thanks.

    hiya!
    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to
    close
    the first thing that i check for when people report
    getting that message when they try to launch
    their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly,
    or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll
    try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
    installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
    from there rather than online.) switch off
    antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
    install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
    launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone
    reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
    message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b
    hey
    downloaded the standalone quicktimes but every time it hangs up on the trying to connect to itunes store
    thanks stickboy

  • The latest itunes wont run on my computer and has deleted my whole itunes

    I began to download the latest itunes as it said i had to, to sync with my ipod.So, as this was downloading it said that an older version has been found and then deleted my whole itunes worth of 1500 songs, which 300 at least of the songs were purchased. I thought ok, this will now at least download the latest itunes and i can re download the songs on itunes, however, everytime i continue to dowload itunes again, i click run and it goes through the process but nothing is coming up on my desktop. I am disgusted with my whole itunes being deleted because the new itunes struggled to download. does any body have any suggestions?

    I've got the 2nd gen iTouch and every time I try to sync it simply says "unknown error(13019)" and that that it can't sync. I thought it was my protection software so I completely disabled and tried again, no luck, tried changing cables in case it got damaged some magical way, no luck, I've tried restarting, no luck, it was working fine before the update to 9.1 and now I can't do anything between my iTouch and my computer. I'm running windows Vista home premium, haven't updated that lately so there's no change from when it was working there. the only change to my comp since this new iTunes came out was the new iTunes. please help! or put out a fix, or god I don't care give me a link to the old iTunes and tell me how to get it to revert to that...
