My ITunes won't open! HELP PLEASE

So I click on the icon, and there's no error message or anything, it just won't open. I have tried all of the troubleshooting on the site, and I've re-downloaded, restarted my computer, everything, I've also tried opening it from the start menu.. what do I do?

Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
thank you kindly.
another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) 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?

ITunes won't open HELP PLEASE

When I try and open iTunes, a message pops up saying, "The file 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I never downloaded a newer version, and version 10 just came up today for no reason. It worked like 5 hours ago, but isn't working now. Anyone have any idea?

I have the same annoying problem! I'm on windows 7 and I've tried everything - from what I could find in Google but to no avail. If someone knows how I can go about solving this error - PLEASE help us!!

Itunes won't open - help!

I have been using itunes for 3 months without any problem and for the past week it will not work. The problem I am getting is when I double click the itunes shortcut, sometimes an egg timer is displayed for 10 secs, then nothing. On other times, I manage to get the itunes licensing agreement on screen. I have tried everything to get it working - I've clicked on save, then agree. I've clicked on save, then disagree but itunes still won't open. I have read through the support section on the itunes website and carried out the following:
1. uninstalled & reinstalled itunes
2. uninstalled & reinstalled quicktime
3. run windows clean up to uninstall itunes & quicktime
4. rebooted PC so many times and wasted so many hours!
I am now at a complete loss at what to do next. I still have the same problem - itunes icon is on desktop but nothing happens when I double click. Can someone please please help?
Thanks
Jackie

hi Jackie!
When I open up Task Manager, itunes application is running and I can't kill the process without rebooting my PC.
usually i associate that "running itunes.exe process That Will Not Die" symptom with nasty version of the NIS 2005 itunes launch suppressions ... but you've got McAfee ...
let's quickly check up on a possibility that can also result in you seeing a running itunes.exe (even though itunes silently fails to launch):

My iTunes won't open! Please help.

My iTunes on my iPhone 4 will not stay open. When I click it, it shows up for like a second then goes away! I've tried restarting my phone, logging out of iTunes then logging back in but still the same happens! Pleaseeeee someone help me with this, I've bout got fed up with it! It keeps getting more aggravating. Thanks(:

Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Updated version of iTunes won't open HELP!

After updating my version of iTunes to the most current version it now will not open. After telling iTunes to "run" the hour glass appears next to the mouse pointer and that is the extent of its attempt to open. The hour glass appears, then disappears just as quickly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled on 3 different occasions and have read through "iTunes 7: Answers to frequent installation questions" as well as other user discussion forums with similar problem descriptions and followed the directions but nothing has worked thus far. Please help!!! I need my music!

(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.

Scan for malware with your adware/spyware scanner or Ewido http://www.ewido.com

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

this may happen on external drives if:
The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for external drive
Close iTunes
Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
Mount drive again
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for internal hard drive
Close iTunes
Reboot system
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
Reboot system, restart iTunes
If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

ITunes won't open after moving to external HD...HELP please

Needed more room on my Mac HD so I moved iTunes to an external disc. That freed up a lot more space however iTunes won't open! I get error #13014. I downloaded a new version(9.1) onto my Mac and that one won't open.
Can anyone help me with this?
thanks in advance!
I'm running 10.6.3, MacPro

I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
thanks!

Can someone please help me install itunes 11? Itunes won't open on my PC.

I keep getting an error message. Itunes won't open. I can't install the latest version. I get an error message that says "windows 93"

Hmm, is that the full text of the error message? I don't recognize it.

ITUNES WON'T OPEN AND GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE HELP

my iTunes won't open, and instead pops up a window saying:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)."
Something similar to this is happening with my mac DVD player. When I try to open that, it won't open and says:
"There was an initialization error. The audio output device could not be found. Please make sure speakers or an appropriate output device is connected. [-70027]"
doesn't come in to handy when you are about to watch a new episode of Lost .
anyway, I saw the speaker thing and went online. Any sound online (music, popups) can all make sounds - so my computer isnt permanetly muted. I've also restarted my computer, done the system updates, and gone into system prefereces to mess around with the volume. The computer recognizes the internal speakers. HELP!

Hey,
Here are the steps that should help:
1. Close all applications.
2. Go into the Finder>Home>Library>Preferences
3. Delete 'com.apple.iDVD.plist' and 'com.apple.iTunes.plist'
4. Restart Immediatley.
This should work. Cheers, Ricky.

Is anyone else having this problem?
I tried to re-install and got the following message: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
Does this mean I have now lost everything?

I just had the same error:
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the apps support team for more info.
I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and did a complete removal and reinstallation of iTunes. You MUST follow the directions here exactly...it's more than just iTunes that must be removed, and it MUST be done in the order in which the support article says. I followed the exact instructions, and iTunes is back on my machine (no more C runtime error) and you do NOT lose your music...it's all in my library, as it was before.
Good luck!
