Just installed itunes and it wont open!

i just installed itunes on a brand new hp computer with windows xp. the installation finished successfully, but when i click on the itunes icon on the desktop the cursor turns to a searching sign for afew seconds, but itunes will not open. i have tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and nothing seems to work. i need help!

Hi amanda6789
Please look through the forums. You will see most often problems are caused by antivirus/antispy software conflicting with iTunes.
Ensure you always download the iTunes programme to your pc (save to desktop for example) not try to install online and disable AV/Spy software before you try to run the install.

    I installed the new version of iTunes and it will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. I have even tried to go back to the older version but it will not open now either. Suggestions?

    Is there an error message? If so give it in full.

  • Just installed iTunes and it won't open

    I just downloaded iTunes 10.6.1, twice, onto my new compter. I have Windows 7, and a 64-bit Operating System. I did download the 64-bit version of iTunes, so I do not think that is the problem.
    The first time the installation worked fine. I plugged in my iPod Touch to sync it, and I did so. I briefly closed out of it and went to reopen and it would not. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It still would not open. After the second installation was finished, there was a dialogue box that said it would open iTunes when I pressed "Finish". I clicked Finish, and iTunes did not open.
    I looked through one Troubleshoot guide, and it said to open iTunes in "Safe Mode" but iTunes wouldn't even open.
    I'm not really sure what to do... Any help would be great!
    Thank you!

    Try restoring your system to the earlier time and then reinstall your iTunes. You might have installed or downloaded something that makes iTunes weird.

  • Itunes and quicktime wont open when click on it

    Hi,
    I am unable to open Itunes or Quicktime on my netbook. I have tried reinstalling the software but it wont work. Please can someone advise how I can get it working.
    Thanks in advance

    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. (Those sorts of applications often use the Visual C++ runtimes to keep track of the componentry, so it seems consistent that an update to those could cause the symptoms to flare up on a PC.)
    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.
    If you have a 32-bit Windows 7, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Windows 7, 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.)

  • Just installed Premiere and can not open a new project, database error

    Everytime I try to open a new project i get a Database is "Failed to perform the database operation as the Organizer database is busy.  Please try again later."
    Anyone had this problem yet?

    PatrickClay
    Of prime importance...what version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running on?
    So, right now a lot of generalizations
    1. Close all opened projects and programs.
    2. Right click the Taskbar at the bottom of computer desktop to bring up Task Manager/Processes. Look for and End Process for any traces of Premiere Elements and/or Elements Organizer whose process remained opened after you closed the program.
    3. Open Premiere Elements to its Splash screen where hopefully you will see tabs for Organizer and Video Editor. Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys of the computer main keyboard (altogether) as you do a left mouse click hold down on the Organizer tab for about 15 seconds. After that time, release just the mouse click hold down. Wait for a message about deleting the preferences/settings file. Click Yes to the message that should appear. Unhold the Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and then click on Organizer or Video Editor and try to open the Video Editor or Elements Organizer sections of the program without error.
    4. Did that work for you? If not, please supply more details.
    We are looking forward to your follow up with the outcome and getting your issue resolved.
    Thanks.

  • Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

    I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!
