Hello
I was working with Itunes for a long time with no problem what so ever until suddenly yesterday when I opened it I recived an error message from windows saying the process has to close and will I want to send out an error report to windows.
I went on to move my Itunes library and repair the Itunes via the downloaded installation file but when it did not work I uninstalled it completly and reinstalled it with no effect...
If any one have any idea as to how to solve this pls help....
thank you

windows installer has stopped working
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

Installed itunes on xp but itunes wont open and ouicktime will

I just bought an ipod nano for my husband and i wanted to surprise him by setting it up with his favourite tunes but i haven't been able to install itunes on my windows xp. The programme downloads but only quicktime will open. I tried to insatll an older version of itunes but when i try to open it i get as far as the contract agreement ( which i accept ) and then a window pops up stating "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newerversion of itunes.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the download several times but to no avail, has anyone any suggestions ??

When you get the message "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newerversion of itunes. - It ususally means what it says and can be fixed in the way I suggested, but it seems to be something different in your case.
Are you still getting that message when you try to open iTunes?
Just to be sure, you have no file called iTunes Library.itl in your iTunes folder? If you have Windows set not to show extensions of known file types, you would just see iTunes Library.
There is something else you might try although I haven't tried it in this situation - Hold down the shift key and start iTunes from All Programs. Keep the shift key held down and you should be prompted to create or choose a library. If it works, create a new library in your iTunes folder.
If iTunes doesn't start like that, we will have to try doing a complete removal of iTunes and reinstall. We can go though that next.

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Unistall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??

I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Itunes wont open on Windows XP

I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

hi Singh!
is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):

keep us posted

Itunes wont open in windows 7 32 bit

Itunes will not open in windows 7. I get a message stating that Apple support is not loaded.

Someone else suggested uninstalling Quicktime. I did that, and it worked for my 64bit Windows 7. Good luck!

You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

Can anyone help when itunes wont open at all in windows 7

I'm having the same issues with windows 7 32 bit. I can download iTunes, the icon appears on my desktop, but when I go to double click on it to open nothing happens. not even an error message.

Itunes wont open and...

Ugh. No one has actually posted useful responses to my posts. Let alone, everyone is ignoring me, it seems like. PLEASE, if you know how to help me fix my beloved Itunes, I would greatly appreciate the help. Note: My quicktime is the current version, it works, and I have been getting no error messages.

Thanks Katrina. I am running version 5.01, whatever the new one is called and the current version of quicktime. What I did so far was that I uninstalled quicktime, and then I reinstalled the standalone version to see if it would work. Others said it did but it still hasn;t quite solved my problem.
