  • HELP ME!!!! itunes wont open, error says could not open key......

    I attempted to update itunes to the newest upgrade, and the upgrade was unsucceful, and now this error comes up everytime i try to open itunes (it wont open at all). the error says
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.wav\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe.
    Verify that you have sufficent access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    This makes no sense since this is on my home PC

    hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
    preliminaries
    download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
    uninstall
    use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    ... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    reboot after uninstalling.
    reinstall
    remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
    reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
    if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
    iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened

  • ITunes wont open it says...

    iTunes wont open it says...
                    iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
    HOW DO I DO THAT?
    AND HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT KEEPS EVERYTHING THE SAME?

    I am having the same issue today with the error message:  "The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software". 
    I have done the "Repair" as you and KStyles513 suggested, and restarted my computer (did both procedures twice) but that did not work.  I am still getting the same message.  Today I get this message.
    When the message appears, iTunes does open but when I click OK my iPhone dissappears from the Devices and I cannot see it again.
    iTunes 10.5.2.11 is the version I currently have loaded.  I'm using a Windows XP platform, all updates are current.
    What can I do to fix this?

  • Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"  The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

    Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

  • Safari 8.0.2 wont open just says it quit unexpectedly. tried several times

    safari 8.0.2 wont open just says it quit unexpectedly. tried several times

    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    hi kristen!
    iTunes has encountered a problme and needs to close.
    the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch?
    if not, first try a careful standalone QT install. see:

  • Itunes wont open and quicktime will not install. help?

    someone please help. my itunes will not open since i preformed an update (it has not been updated for a few years). i have noticed i no longer have quicktime on my laptop but cant re-install. i get to the 'welcome to quicktime 7 installer' screen, press next and windows installer stops working. some one please help.
    i am running windows vista.
    many thanks

    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?

  • Itunes wont open. Says some files are required and to reinstall

    I have done it twice and still it says the same thing. can someone please help

    Hi together.
    Now that I've been working on this problem for a couple of days I still have no idea how to solve it.
    During the installation process for iTunes 7.5 an error-window pops up with the message "iTunes cannot run because some of its requiered files are missing." I've tried to un- and reinstall all components several times without any success. I also tried installing older versions of iTunes with the same result. Starting QuickTime ends on reporting Error 2093. Also re-installing Windows fresh and virginal did not help anything.
    The error messages occured first after installing Win XP Pro's SP2 on my computer. Before that everything worked fine. I would have gone back to SP1, but I need that **** SP2 for Visual Studio.
    Maybe there's someone out there who knows how to cope with that.
