Hello esullz
Check out the article below to start troubleshooting your startup issues with iTunes. You may need to test it in another user to see if it works there or it may need to be reinstalled.

Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click the icon on my desktop nothing happens,does anyone know why itunes does not open?
If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. -

itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro.NEED AN ANSWER NOW!!!
Hey sebasac,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on a Mac. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,

I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!
Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Please let me know how things are going.

With Windows 7 I upgraded itunes to 11. Now in my itunes library, when I click on a song "original file could not be found" comes up. This happens with over 2000 songs, but it seems to be ones I recorded from cd's. Locate does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem?
Highlight a song that is supposedly missing, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when asked to locate the file, then look at the summary tab. Where does iTunes "think" the file should be? Where is it really? You may need to give a configuration file a minor tweak.

Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open? it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it. it won't open when i connect my iphone? this is on my desk top with Windows 7.
Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected? -
Please help me sinc my new ipad with my PC. I am trying to get my Itunes off my PC onto my Ipad, but I when I click on "device" to do so, the font is light gray, thus not viable
thanksHello Debby,
Congratulations on your new iPad! You may need to restore your iPad if the sync option is grayed out. You can find steps to restore your iPad here:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Once you have done that, you can use the steps in the following article to sync your iPad to your computer:

I hope this helps you get setup with your new iPad!

ITunes does not open when icon is clicked
Ever since I downloaded the latest update for iTunes, it has refused to open. I went through the troubleshooting page, but they all related to installation issues, and this seems to have been installed, just not accessible for some reason. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and QuickTime three times (including all related temp files). QuickTime seems to be working fine, but iTunes still does not respond.
*The previous iTunes update I downloaded from Apple also caused problems (mainly a notice that there was an error every time I opened the program). Because the program still seemed to work fine, I would just progress through the notices every time.I think from what you are saying that iTunes persits in the task manager.
This means that something is blocking it from completing its start up.
There are a couple of things to think about. Spyware can do this so run a full virus and spyware scan with upto date definitions.
Sometimes security software can do this, although I haven't seen that for a while. Try starting iTunes with your firewall off. If it starts it is a sign that you need to reconfigure your firewall.
Plugins for itunes can do this, do you have any, even if not the ones I mentioned.
Another possibility is that there is soemthing esle on your PC interfering with iTunes, you can use MSCOnfig to invesigate this. Here is an article telling you how.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
It is worth working through the original article I gave you. Starting iTunes in another account can be very helpful - even if you have to create one to do it, as some problems are account specific and others system wide. -
I cant get itunes to open on my laptop. I have windows 7 and I downloaded itunes again to see if that was the issue. No matter what i do it wont open. Any ideas?
Restart Computer.
Refer steps here to delete SC file(s):

Then proceed to repair your QuickTime. START > CONTROL PANEL

Win7/Vista - Programs n Features
highlight QUICKTIME and click CHANGE then REPAIR -
When I connect my Ipod Nano to my Mac it does not appear in the list of devices, so I can't check what I want it to sinc, such as music videos. It will sinc thr music automaticlly. I can't tell it to sinc anything else.

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card. -
I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.
This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
