Itunes wont start after updating on Windows

Ive updated to the most recent version of Itunes and now the program will not start. It immediately says Itunes has stopped working without even opening the program. Ive tried every single fix listed by apple on this website. Nothing has worked. I dont plan on buying anymore music through Itunes if apple cant even get the program to run properly

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
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 an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    My Iphone 5 would not start after updating it to ois 7.0.4. It says i need to connect to itunes but when i do it asked me to restore to my original settings. when i tried doing that my iphone keeps crashing

    Hello shefali,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    Best of luck,

    I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

  • Error -3 / Itunes wont open after updated with Quicktime 7

    I have been having problems with my Quicktimes for over a month. I was unale to take my son to his favortie websites. I was able to disable quicktime as a default, but now two things have happend. I can't open up Itunes, and now I can't hear any sound when I go to my son's favorite website. This happened a few days after I disabled it. I removed, and reinstalled Itunes, it wouldn't open, it said that I need to update. I updated it, and it still wont open. WhenI try to internal repair it it tells my error -3. Please help, I am about to lose my mind!
    Thanks in advance

    hi geraldo!
    When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
    good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
    ... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
    check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
    Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
    ... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
    iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
    QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
    iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
    if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?
    love, b

  • Itunes wont open after updated software last night

    iTunes wont open up on my Mac after I updated software last night

    Hey there Nedswan,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after it updated recently. I would check for 3rd party plugins that may have lost compatibility when the software was updated first:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
    you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
    OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
    You should see this message before iTunes starts up: "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
    Note: This is different than Safe Boot or Safe Mode for Mac OS X. You may need to test both at the same time to isolate all third-party interference.
    Click Continue and see if any issues persist. If your issues are resolved with iTunes running in Safe Mode, check the following:
    Consult the vendor of any plug-ins you installed to see if they're compatible with your version of iTunes and check for any updates that may be available.
    Close iTunes and move third-party add-ons to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in these locations:
    Mac: /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Garageband wont start after update to ilife 09

    i update my ilife from 08 to 09, and now my garageband wont start anymore,it stucks everytime i start and the window "initialize" will not close.
    at this point i try everything, delete the preference files in "user -libery-preferences" ,starting with apple -install-DVD and repair permission.
    also delete garagaband 09 and re-install GB 08, after this and deleting pref-files again garagband 08 will start normaly
    then i try again to update to Gb 09...and it stucks again when the app launch.
    GB 09 will only shows the initialize window and stuck !
    Please help

    i had the same problem when i got my new macbook. I even tried to restore the whole OS then it finally works. But then it crashes again after i install some other program. I suspect the garageband 09 crash with some specific music program...but i still can't figure out which one. I've installed Garritan Personal orchestra, Emu 0404 driver, melodyn essential after that, i bet one of these program have problem.
    What about you, have you got any other music program in your mac?

    After updating Itunes the application will not launch

    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

  • Itunes wont open after update for itunes and ipod

    alright, so i have no clue what im doing. ive been going through this board looking for different solutions to my problem but nothing seems to be working and im running out of options.
    i was having troubles with itunes before, so i unistalled itunes and quicktime and reinstalled it, and i was still experiencing the same problems with having the program open. i uninstalled and reinstalled once more and then i got it to open and when i tried to update my ipod, it said i needed the new updater software, so i downloaded that. after all of that, my itunes won't open again and i dont know what to do anymore. i just want my stuff to work and nothing i seem to do helps with the problem.
    any ideas on what to do to get both itunes and my ipod to work again?

    Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:
