there is no error message, no indication that there even is an itunes on my computer
some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Click-through links which would otherwise open in new windows, wont open at all

    it may have something to do with the fact that i have a new laptop running windows 8 but on links which would normally open into a new window like document links or page editors won't open at all.
    pop-ups are allowed, and i've tried to allow new windows in general but only one will be open. not even an error box shows up.

  • My itunes 7 wont open at all

    I have recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes 7 and when i try to open it, it comes up with an error saying itunes has encountered an error and needs to close. Nither itunes or the standalone version of quick time seem to work. Can you help me fix this problem????

    Let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes fails to launch situations:
    Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    If there's not an error mesage, go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
    Does it start?
    If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message? If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    And one other question for now, do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?

  • Itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

  • Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

    Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

    Hey ashleighd07!

    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in

    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.

  • 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!!!!

  • Itunes store wont open and let me download music

    my itunes store wont open it says im not connected to the internet which is false for im on it now typing this
    hELP

    If a solution is found I hope someone posts it soon.  I have followed everything iTunes has asked for: new account, new pass, new info, and finally upgrade to iTunes 10.  After attempting to Download 10. I was told that my iBook did not meet the system specs.  I had looked earlier and found no sys specs, so I presumed it would download.  I was wrong.  After going through all of that I still cannot access the store.  I had none of this problem a mere 2 weeks ago.  So somebody please post a reasonable solution.
    thanks,
    Pb

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
    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.

  • Itunes store wont open after update to 10.5

    itunes store wont open and not able to back up my phone when i updated my computer with 10.5 (windows 7) help

    So the Mic shows in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab but the volume adjustment makes no difference.
    I have checked to see if MUTE, which would normally effect output had any effect and it does not. My blue bar still moves.
    If System Profiler sees the Mic I would try deleting com.apple.audioDevices.Settings.plist from Hard Drive/Library/Preferences
    These are the Preferences in the Library you can see when you open the Hard drive not the one in your home folder.
    IF this does not bring the Mic back to full life it may need and engineer to tell you more.

  • Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

    hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

    Hey try this out:
    Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
    window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
    in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
    manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
    Let me know if this works out.

  • After updating when i close itunes it wont open back up until i log off and log back on or reboot

    This only started happening after I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I don't have a clue why it does it, but if I close the screen on my laptop and open it, the screen doesn't come back on it just stays off but the power light button comes on and the WiFi signal button is on but it is red as if the wifi is turned off, is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to fix it? I have to manually hold down the power button everytime I close my laptop to turn it off and then back on and once it is on it works perfectly, but I don't like holding the power button down for obvious reasons. Thank you.Go back to Windows 10, seems HP do not care about releasing up to date drivers for Windows 10, this is despite the problem you report also happening during BETA Testing of Windows 10 over TWELVE MONTHS AGO! It is only now HP are bothering to advise people not to upgrade, but yet they clearly won't reply in this topic, which is more or less about your problem from many different users! http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-10-Laptop-won-t-go-into-sleep-mode/m-p/5181173#M304826
