Itunes wont work on windows 7 Please help!!!

My itunes stopped working about a week ago, all it does now when I try to open it is show a loading icon but then disapears without the program opening.
I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the program. checked the processes via task manager for itunes exe, it doesn't show up there. I'm almost ready to give up.

Hello, ColoSanchez.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I would start by removing iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified of this article.

Once uninstalled, download and install a new copy of iTunes.

ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

My itunes wont work in WIndows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but it doesnt' work. It consistently won't open, freezes, or opens and will play songs but only comes up as the shape of itunes in a kinda see thru box. Any tips?

My itunes won't work on my Windows 7 anymore. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled SEVERAL times, but to no avail. It consistantly freezes, won't open or doesn't work correctly. The only way I can get it to close anymore is to go to the task manager and 'end process' itunes. I do get an error at the beginning saying " the registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install itunes." I have searched the internet for possible fixes to no avail. Please help...anyone!

Lets see whether this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?

Itunes not working on microsoft please help.

hi,
i got a new ipod nano 2nd generation for christmas and i loaded itunes on my laptop, but my mum accidently deleted it and so i downloaded it again.
but now it wont open because it says:
"itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience."
i have tried to fix it but i cant.
my computer also seems to not download quicktime with the itunes.
please help.
thanx
xox

It is not clear what has happened from what you say, but the iTunes download does include a copy of Quicktime, and iTunes will not work unless there is a functioning Quicktime.
Rather than try and workout what is going on, it is probably best to start again and completely uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the method here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Follow all the steps, then save the latest iTunes from the link on the page and install.

Itunes wont update ipod! please help!

For some reason when i plug my ipod into my computer it won't update my ipod! It recognises the ipod and says "do not disconnect" but it wont add any new songs at all. I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx

Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
Check in iPod preferences.

Itunes wont install properly? please help!!

hello,
iTunes is being very difficult atm! reinstalled the iTunes software and the error message comes 'iTunes wont install properly...'.
I have run a diagnostics test and hoping someone can point in the direction of how to fix it! cannot even connect my iphone device to it.
please help!
thanks

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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

ITunes wont open on Windows Vista. help! i dont want to return my i pod!

I have fully installed iTunes 9, and whenever I try to open it from the shortcut it states exactly : The folder "iTunes" cannot be created or found. and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" Folder.
However I somehow moved my original "Music" folder, and created a new one. Yesterday the first time I downloaded iTunes 64setup, it worked. I was able to view apps and movies and music. However now It when I open ITunes it says the above. I have tried removing it and reinstalling and repairing it. NOTHING WORKS! please help!

Awesomeness!
Search your hard drive for a file containing ITL in it. That is the file extension for the itunes database file. You might need to set Win Explorer options to show NOT hide file extensions.
Once you are sure you know where that file is, press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes. Keep holding the shift key until you see a question about choosing or creating a library. Choose the ITL file you found during your search.
Is this on a Vaio?

ITunes wont work on Windows XP

I had a bad hard drive and lost my itunes, now i download the "fixed" version and it wont even work. It tells me there is a problem, but tech support dosnt do **** w/o me giving them money. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.

The first thing to check is Quicktime, iTunes can't work if Quicktime doesn't.
Open the quicktime player and try playing something.
If Quicktime doesn't work, unistall Quicktime(notiTunes) following the procedure in the next link exactly:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Then download the stand alone version Quicktime without iTunes and install it. Download from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
If Quicktime worked OK then work through this Apple article on iTunes launch failures:

IPod classic is not recognised by itunes but is by windows - please help

Hi there.... as title suggests my ipod as of today is refusing to be even recognized by itunes despite it being perfectly happy in my computer. I have tried every step that itunes support suggested with the end result meaning that it now has none of my music on it, so that went well.
Just before it properly went down I would get something along the lines of Cannot sync - \"Required File Could Not Be Found\" Any ideas?

Hi, I've been bothering with the same problem on the last two days, and also tried everything apple support had to offer, but to no effect.
By accident and pure luck, I got out of this mess by the following steps (that will maybe help you):
Go to "My Computer".
Look out for the iPodClassic Drive.
Open it.
Open the folder "iPod_Control"
Open the folder "iTunes"
Look for "extras". It's the iTunes Data Source.
Open it.
There I was. iPod back in iTunes.
Hope it will work out for you, too.
Cheers.
