  • Itunes wont open unless restarting computer

    itunes wont open unless restarting computer. Bought my first piece of music through itunes store. Shortly thereafter couldn't open itunes after closing it unless restarting the computer. Had no problems previously. Not very computer savvy. Computer usually opens straight to admin user. Created a new (standard) user account as suggested. Opens,closes,reopens ok there. Tried disabling Bonjour, didn't help. Ideas?

    No. Computer set up to automatically open "admin" user account when starting. Only created new "standard" user account to see if that worked.  It did. But still had same problem in admin user account.

  • Itunes wont open says error 7 (windows error 127)

    Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to work.
    I have windows 8.1

    Now I reinstall the old itunes and it says itunes wont open because there is a missing file, plz reinstall itunes.
    what's the precise text of your error message, sirken?
    sometimes it's easiest to send us a screenshot of the error message box. there's instructions on how to do that in this user tip:

  • Itunes wont open on my computer

    a couple days ago i got on itunes just fine
    then the next day i try to get on and it wont
    open. when i double click on itunes it switches from the itunes logo to a file to back to the logo and wont open.

    I am not absolutely certain that i have understood you.
    When you click on iTunes, do you see the hourglass briefly, but iTunes does not open and there is no error message?
    If so open your taks manager after trying to open iTunes and look on the processes tab. Can you see iTunes.exe there although iTunes does not open?
    If so you have a particular type of launch failure that is often associated with problems with cryptographic services.
    Did you make any changes to your system before the problem started?
    If it happened out of the blue, you need to run a scan for malware. It might also be worth a second opinion from an online scan but ONLY use a big name, such as Kapersky or similar. There are many scams out there that introduce malware.
    http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
    You need to be sure your system is clean before starting troubleshooting as malware can not only cause this problem but also interfere with a solution.
    Once you have done that, here is a method for diagnosing the problem, you need to report back with the results and then we can look at a solution.
    Troubleshooting silent launch failure in Windows XP
    Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
    A couple of simple things to try:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
    Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
    But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
    Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
    Start>>Run>>Services.msc
    you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
    Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
    Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
    Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
    If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

  • ITunes wont open in a regular window but will open in safe mode. What can I due to open it in a regular window?

    I haven't been able to open iTunes since I updated it in march but when I start my pc in safe mode it works. I don't understand it and would like iTunes to work in the regular mode. Quick time works and I did try with a disabled Bonjour. Also uninstalled it and re intalled it and it still wonr work. I am at a loss as to what to do next

    I started windows in safe mode then i double clicked on itunes while holding the shift and control key it told me itunes was in safe mode.
    Okay ... so you started Windows in safe mode and then started iTunes in safe mode.
    Restart Windows in normal mode, and then try launching just iTunes in safe mode. What happens then?
    (Trying to work out which of the safe modes you've been applyingis having an impact on iTunes launch.)

  • ITunes wont open on laptop (running windows 7)

    It was working earlier but it seems a update for either windows or apple has been automatically downloaded and as a consequence when i click on iTunes it doesnt open and does nothing?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most up to date version but has made no difference?

  • My itunes wont open. Why? (Windows)

    It started when I was deleting some stuff on my old dell to free up some space, when I got rid of something called application support, thinking that i was something to do with some tutorial (in other words something trivial and fairly pointless) but after trying to open itunes it said that it was missing a file, the application support, and could not open. Is there any way of fixing this. RE-INSTALLING WONT WORK, ill just end up losing all of my music etc. which is at least £100 worth. Help is much appreciated.

    We can try extracting it from an iTunes installer.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.

  • Itunes wont open on my computer and wont come up when I plug in my Iphone

    Went to use Itunes this morning when I pluged in my Iphone, itunes did come up but was not syncing to my Iphone, so I exited out of it and clicked to open it from desktop but nothing would come up.  I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but still nothing comes up.

    That's the most current version, and rather what I suspected. Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
    Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
    Regards.

  • Itunes wont open in my computer.

    I am running windows 7 and when i click on the icon it will appear on the start bar then it stops responding. I have even deleted the program and reinstalled and still nothing happens.  i now got the latest version but its not running either. I also tried the ctrl+ shift option but it still wont run. HELP

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Itunes wont open windows 7 tried everything online

    hi

    i have tried every fix i can find online and nothing.
    -checked if it was user
    -checked quicktime
    -tried opening in safe mode
    -uninstalled several times
    -checked roaming files
    nothing? any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Try updating the drivers on the BigFoot device to the most recent version. Can you get through to the Store, now?

  • ITunes wont open on a Windows 7 computer - no errors, etc.

    I can't seem to get iTunes to open on a computer after my father synced his iPad.  I deleted and reinstalled, and tried opening in safe mode.  Nothing is opening...it doesnt even show it in the Task Manager.  Anyone who can help?

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • 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 ..

    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 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
