My itunes wont pop up

I click on my iTunes and it won't start up. I've treid system restores but they don't work. Any ideas? thanks! =]

Do you have a HP PC? If so you need to goto hp.com and look up updates for your model, some of there models have issues with iTunes after doing a restore and they offer a patch for models that are affested.
Try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime from the control panel in windows, disable antivirus then goto apple.com and download/install the latest iTunes.
If that doesn't work try installing the stand alone version of quicktime here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Itunes wont pop up

    i have vista on my computer. My itunes won't open but just on my username. the My Music folder on my username wont open either. When i try to open itunes this message comes up:
    The folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is in the My Music folder.
    please please help

    My iTunes Music Store will open and then nothing can
    be clicked on. I can't even search or scroll down the
    page. It has been like this for days! Let me know if
    any solution has been found.

    Mine is similar. I can use my iTunes fine, and create playlist and update my iPod. But, I went to buy something last night, only to find that when I go to the Music Store none of the scroll bars work. The whole thing is unuseable.
    Sure would be nice if someone had some good advice about what to do (if there is anything we can do).
    At least if someone else is having the same problem it might not be the computer...

  • HELP ME ! Itunes wont load !

    I am so annoyed ! I click on itunes on my dell inspiron and the mouse will turn to the blue swirly thing and then it will just go back to the mouse and itunes wont pop up! please please help me! should i re-download ???

    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

    Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • Hi itunes wont install windows error 2 keep popping up what do i do?

    hi itunes wont install windows error 2 keep popping up what do i do?

    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.

  • Ipod is Disabled connect to itunes , plug it to itunes nothing pops up and it wont let me recover...

    Ipod is Disabled connect to itunes , plug it to itunes nothing pops up and it wont let me recover...

    I have the same problem, first the usb itunes screen (pic above) showed up randomly.  The computer recognized it at first, saying it was in recovery mode, blah blah.  I tried to take it out of recovery mode, but the moment it shut off, the apple logo appeared and didn't go away.  This kept happening, so eventually, I chose to 'restore' in itunes.  It began to download and install this ipod software update (I'm pretty sure I already had the update).  After that, I got this wierd error message, saying I couldn't restore.  The ipod, which had the apple logo since the first restore, was then "unidentified" by itunes, and it dissapeared off of the devices list. (Note I did not even touch the cable, and it wasn't syncing anyways)  I tried some other ipod USB's, done the recovery mode thing about 10 times, but no avail.  Every time I try to do the recovery mode, the screen shuts off for about a second, then the apple logo appears and stays there until I try to recover it again.  I have tried almost everything; plugging it back into the computer, plugging it into another computer that it has been recognized on before (which by the way is a mac).  I've restarted the computer a number of times, checked for updates for itunes, and searched the web for solutions, but nothing.  This is a 4rth gen 32gb ipod. 

  • Itunes wont reconise my iphone!!!

    I just installed Leopard a couple of days ago, and also upgraded itunes to 7.7.1 and ever since itunes wont recognize my iphone or ipods. When i plug my phone in it charges and iphoto pops up, but thats it itunes refuses to show any device. Has this happened to anyone else? would downgrading itunes work?

    hi Shiftyraz,
    I was having the same problem, however, i just re-installed itunes and everything appears to be working. All I did was drag the itunes.app to the trash and re-install.

  • My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone

    My itunes wont let me put music onto my iphone or take music off. Everytime I go to sync it it says I dont have enough space but I clearly have more than enough space left. I also am trying to take music off of my iphone so I can put new music on but everytime this box pops up and I really dont know what to do.

    I think you have misunderstood the message you see.
    The message states that you need an additional 1.93GB as well as the 3.93GB shown in the capacity bar. So it requires a total of 5.86GB.
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    Click on the OK button (in that message) and then deselect the media that you wish to remove. Once you have un-ticked the Playlists, or albums or whatever, click on the Sync button again to allow iTunes to Sync. It will then remove the un-ticked items, leaving space to add the 5.86GB that you are trying to add. If you continue to see the same message, but with a smaller additional amount required, then you have not deselected enough items.
    Check how much space is being used by the "Other" category (shown in the capacity bar). While there will always be a small amount of Other on an iPod, anything over 1GB is probably not correct. Usually, a Sync will sort this out. If it doesn't then you may have to perform a Restore procedure, but I suggest you use that only as a last resort.

  • Itunes wont open when i plug my ipod in

    My ipod is disabled and it says connect through itunes, and i've put it in recovery mode and it has the itunes thing up when the recovery mode has worked, but the itunes thing wont pop up on the screen! Please  help!

    By 'wont pop up' do you mean that iTunes on your computer doesn't automatically open when you connect it to to ? If you do then if you open iTunes yourself, does it then recognise that a device in recovery mode it connected to your computer ? If not then do you have the current version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

  • Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

    so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
    terrible i know
    i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
    so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
    because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
    i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
    so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
    a) i will lose all my music
    and
    b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
    any ideas or suggests?

    Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
    You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • Itunes wont read iphone, thinks it's a digital camera...help

    I dont know what happened, but when I first got my PC with vista 64, and had itunes installed with the iphone, everything worked. 3 days ago I reformatted my drives and reinstall windows and all my programs. I got itunes working with all my music and whatnot, but when I plug my iphone in to toss music on it, itunes wont read it. Windows knows it's there, but everytime I plug it in, the lower right hand corner the "windows is installing new driver blah blah" pops up, and then get an error message saying it couldnt install the driver. I go to device manager and windows thinks it's a digital camera. I did the whole update driver with the "c:\windows\system32\drivestore\usbaapl_" thing, and I got this message:
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
    (usb icon) Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    The system cannot find the file specified."
    I have been googling the crap out of this and I am at wit's end with this. I've uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, cleaned registry, wiped all apple programs from the PC, anything google told me to, hahaha. Serious, I cant find any forum or web article to help me past this point. Please help...

    I think I got it. I've had the same problem as you and many others. I went to device manager and found iPhone under imaging devices. Here's what I did:
    Right-click -> properties -> driver tab -> update drivers (launches Hardware Update Wizard) select...
    No, not this time (next) Install from a list ... (next) Don't search ... (next) Now there should be two choices under model. Select the Apple Mobile Device. This is not digitally signed so you'll get warnings but continue. When I did this iTunes picked up my iPhone right away.
