Itunes wont work after system restore

Itunes will no longer startup or uninstall/reinstall after i recently did a system restore on my laptop i can get it running by opening a song, and it works fine then, but its an old version cos i cant update! looked everywhere for a solution and cant find one anywhere!
Thanks

(c) the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below
Use source
C:\DOCUME1\Alex\locals1\Temp\IXP267.TMP\
Okay, given that the QuickTime seems to be working fine, that iTunes message is probably the key to this.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Run the utility, find the iTunes entry in the list of programs that show up in CleanUp, and remove the iTunes entry.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? If so, does iTunes launch properly again?

Itunes not working after system restore

hey i searched this and found nothing helpful.
i did a system restore before and now my itunes won't open. it shows a message that tells me it can't open. i've reinstalled and uninstalled and everything i can think of...
how can i fix this and make itunes work again?

If you have an HP, you need to goto Hp.com and download a patch for your model of PC, alot of there PCs have issues with iTUnes after using there software to do a restore. If you have another brand, check there site.
You can also try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, disabling antivirus and downloading/installing the latest iTunes from apple.com

Itunes doesnt work after system restore

Hey i just downloaded the latest version on itunes a few days ago. I opened the program once and it worked well. Then yesterday i had a problem with my pc and i did a sytem restore. Now my itunes doesn't work. Whenever the try opening it this is the message i get:
The new file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
If any one could help me i'd appreciate it

Unfortunately, when you System Restored over the top of the iTunes install, it may have dropped old program files from iTunes and related components back on the PC. So you may have old iTunes componentry trying to open the new library.
I'd try a complete uninstall and reinstall of iTunes and related componentry on the PC, with a slight modification. The basic technique is given in:
[Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
The modification is that when you are working through the *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled* section, in addition to the program files and folders mentioned there (such as "iTunes" and "BonJour"), you might see program folders called "iTunes (2)" or iTunes (3)" or "BonJour (2)" and so on. Also delete such folders with the names of Apple software with numbers and parentheses.

ITunes Not Working After I Restored My iPod Touch

I went on iTunes and clicked "restore" which caused some error message to pop up that told me to re install iTunes. Thus putting me on the currently 4 hour path of trying to get iTunes to work. First it said I needed avfoundationcf.dll or something. Then after downloading a bunch of stuff that claimed to want to help but repeatedly tried to charge me. Then the error messages starting telling me that I needed some dll files. I downloaded all the files that were asked of me from a website. The last file, icuin36.dll, installed normally (I assume) but the next error pop up box told me this:
iTunes.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windowa\system32\icuin36.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
Then a second pop up box appears that says:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re install iTunes
Error 9 (Windows Error 193)
This is where I am currently stuck. Any help would be dearly appreciated as I am on the verge of an aneurysm. Be sure to dumb down everything you say as I'm pretty stupid when it comes to computers.

If the music play OK in iTunes on your computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Start and Start apps don't work after System Restore

Hey guys, I tried to install Andy (Android emulator) on my PC today and I had to reboot after the setup was complete. This time when booting up, my computer froze before login screen. I've restarted the computer several times, but no login screen.
So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old) and voila, everything works like it should...
Except for Start menu, Cortana & search bar and notifications. Restarting explorer.exe didn't fix the problem. Even Start menu apps like Music or Store don't work... Only way to open the Settings app is to click on my network connection icon. Help please!
I'm using build 9926

..............So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old)...............
It is possible that you are missing the updates that were installed in that 2 days. You rolled back 2 days, now you need to reinstall those updates.
If you cannot use Start Menu, please follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes or Confirm
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.

Itunes wont work after downloading mac os x lion

After I downloaded Mac OS X lion/10.7 and iTunes 10.4 iTunes wont open it pops up a window saying check with developer to make sure this version of Mac OS X supports iTunes. please help

How can I find out how old my Office:mac program is? It cost $149.99 at the Apple Store. I think it's only 3 years old. So Apple wants to kill Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.? Fine, a fair warning would be appropriate. I would not have "upgraded" if I knew $29 was really that plus upgrading everything else.
That's totally unlike Apple to not be able to access common documents when doing an upgrade.
Get real! Word and Excel can't be accessed by Lion?!?! I just want to work on my daughter's homework...
What a pussycat.

ITunes not opening after system restore

I was having issues with opening iTunes after I upgraded to the latest version. So I did a system restore and now when I try to open it, I get a pop-up that says "The file "iTunes LIbrary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Intel mac mini wont boot after system restore

Hi,
I ran the system restore on my intel mac mini using the genuine leopard cd that came with it.
Now it wont boot. When you press power the light comes on but it does not chime and there is not video output to any monitor.
Anyone know what could be wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You picked 10.4.1 in your profile.
Intel Mac Minis at minimum came with 10.4.4.
If it came with a 10.5 genuine DVD, it most certainly was not running 10.4.1 or 10.4.4. Perhaps you mistook one Mac Mini install DVD for another? Does your Mac Mini have 4 USB ports on back? What does the 10.5 installer disc you used look like?

Itunes went blank after system restore

i did a system restore this morning and now itunes is blank -- no music, albums, artists, nothing. all of the music i had stored in itunes still appears on my ipod classic. my question is how to get it back into the itunes library. is there a way to copy it from the ipod to itunes? or do i need to reinstall itunes? if i do that, will i lose all the music already on the ipod?

*is there a way to copy it from the ipod to itunes? ............if i do that, will i lose all the music already on the ipod?*
If your iPod is set to sync automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Speakers not working after system restore

After a fatal disk crash I've restored my system with a new internal hard drive. However, now the audio out isn't working. I've repaired permissions, and the only option shown in the sound system preferences is 'Built-in audio'.
Any ideas?

Itunes wont work after update

My Itunes has stopped working, every time i try to open itunes or quicktime it says "itunes/quicktime has stopped working" ive tried reinstalling, downloading older versions and a dozen other supposed fixes, absolutely nothing works. Ive got no error codes no nothing. Ive checked my firewall itunes, quicktime and bonjour are all allowed through. I cant figure it out.

LA Jerry, here are the Apple support numbers, I found them in a previous post by forum regular Dave Sawyer.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
iTunes is a free program and you are going to have to pay for support unless you've purchased some Apple hardware. They don't provide free support for Windows systems that they haven't sold.
I suggest looking at this article before trying to call & pay for support:

Itunes wont work after reinstall of osx 10.4.8 tiger

After doing a reinstall of the os I can no longer open itunes.
It says that the application is not available with this version of osx.
I've tried to download the latest version and version 6, but neither are compatible.
And cannot, for some reason, download version 7.7.1
Nothing I try seems to work.

You need to update from 10.4.8 to 10.4.11 (which is probably what you were running before the reinstall) and then you can run iTunes 8. Post back if you don't where to find the updates.
Poked around...think I found it: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
