  • HT204406 i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open on this mac.  is there a fix for this?

    i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open.  how do i get it back?? 

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

    Does your iTunes launch properly now?

  • ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. Many customers/users with the same issu

    First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.
    I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.
    I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.
    1. Uninstalling iTunes + Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
    2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
    3. Cleaning the registry.
    4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
    6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.
    +** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.+
    All of this and it goes nowhere good.
    Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.
    I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.
    As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.
    If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.
    Thank you for your time and help.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • HT1923 My itunes will not open due to the Apple Mobile Device.

    My itunes will not open due to the Apple Mobile Device. When i try and start it on control panel it says i cant. i unstalled Itunes and the components and then reinstalled it like the website says and the same problem occurs. can someone help me please?

    Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

  • Itunes will not open at all

    hey guys,
    ever since I've reinstalled my pc with windows xp pro sp3, my itunes will not open at all.
    every time i click on itunes.exe it does not do anything. It does give me the hourglass icon as if my pc is working on it. but then it disappears without any itunes response.
    to fix this issue, I have tried any possible method that i could find on the internet. even called the support center but they were not able to help me either.
    I have tried to reinstall itunes *(no effect)*
    did something with the cryptographic something in the administrative tools menu *(no effect)*
    I have deleted the itunes installer cache *(no effect)*
    I installed any older versions,( btw 7 does not work either)but after updating it *(no effect)*
    itunes 6 does work; but since i have an iphone it is completely useless for me. so *(no effect)*
    the strange thing is that itunes.exe does appear in the "processes" tab in task manager, but it does not show in the "applications" tab.
    and every time I shut down my pc, I get the windows message that itunes is shutting down.
    If you have any other suggestions, please be so kind help me.
    this is driving me nuts. It's been going on for two months now.
    Kind regards,
    Bart

    I am not sure if I have this right from all those posts.
    When you try to start iTunes, there is no error message and you can see iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab of the task manager.
    If that is your probelm it is commonly do to a problem with cryptographic services.
    Before looking into that there is a quick thing to try:

    If that's not it, work carefully through *method 4* in the following article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    Make a careful note of any error messages you get, this is important. post back the names of any dlls mentioned in error messages.
    If you don't get any error messages try starting iTunes.

  • Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

    I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
    Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
      - I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
    iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
      - I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
    Any help is very appreciated.

    Try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.

  • My itunes will not open when I click on the icon. An system error appears. "the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Any ideas on how to resolve, I have tried installing

    My itunes will not open, it displays an error that MSVCR80.dll is missing. I tried reinstalling itunes but it fails because the service is not able to start.

    Same thing happened to me. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Good LUCK!!

  • Itunes will not open in my windows 8 laptop

    Itunes will not open on my windows 8 computer..can someone please help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
