Opening itunes in windows 8

Please help I just got a new laptop with Windows 8 and when I downloaded Itunes it says need an application to open this file?  So I downloaded a file opener as recommended by Windows 8 and still nothing has happened and Itunes is stuck under downloaded items.  How do I get it installed properly as it has already been opened????  Thank you in advance for your help as I know this is a problem since I am learning Windows 8 new formats but I did not realize I would have to download apps just to open itunes?  Help.  Thanks    Susan

Here is what it said....But every time I reinstall iTunes it says it was successful. I'm using Windows 8 (64 bit).

  • HT5318 cannot open itunes on windows 7 64 bit

    I am no longer able to open iTunes on windows 7 64 bit.  Have tried "repair" option and remove and redownload.

    I am trying to understand the exact sequence of events here:
    Firstly the iTunes installer includes Quicktime and you should not have to install it separately.
    You downloaded the 32 bit iTunes installer: iTunesSetup.exe.
    Normally the correct version should be downloaded automatically so that shouldn't have happened.
    When you tried to run it, did it warn you that you had the wrong version and stop without installing anything?
    Then you downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe
    What happened when you tried to run that, did you get any error messages? If so give the full text.
    What iTunes related programs do you actually have installed, if any?
    Check in Programs on the Control Panel.
    The following link on uninstalling iTunes lists the programs you need to look for.

  • After I install Itunes 10.5.2 and open itunes a window opens stating another program is not allowing itunes to burn cd's. Next, I get an error window stating itunes 42404 is missing. I've uninstalled itunes 3 times and re-installed. No luck.

    After I install iTunes 10.5.2 and open iTunes a window opens stating "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." This happens everytime.
    After that on one occasion a window stated "Itunes msi) was missing. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling that disapeared. Now I get a window stating, (A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Itunes.(_42404)"

    To fix registry, refer to this article:

  • I can't open iTunes in Windows 7

    I can't open iTunes in Windows 7 even I download the latest version.
    (iPhone is iOS 5.0.1)
    It's 64-bit Windows 7 and every time I clicked "Agree" in tthe software license, it doesn't work.
    Then the PC helping centre shows the following sentence:
    "iTunes can not work normally anymore.iTunes has the latest version to download, this will solve the problem.Apple Inc. suggest you to upgrade to newest version of iTunes, to improve the safety and stability."
    This shows for many times and I keep upgrade iTunes.How to  solve this problem?
    P.S. Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.The sentence is translated by me from Chinese, hope you can know what I mean.

    There are various things this could be. First restart you computer
    Check to see if you QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it. If it doesn't work, describe what happens.
    Then run a virus and spyware scan as malware has been known to do this.
    Then check to see if disabling your forewall allows iTunes to start, this hasn't been seen for a while, but in the past firwall blocking has caused iTunes to hang.
    Then work through this Apple help on troubleshooting launch failures;

    You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try a standalone install of AppleApplicationSupport. It may still fail to install but if so you may get useful error messages as to why not.

  • I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

    Download iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

    There is no backup option in iTunes, that was removed years ago.
    Backup iTunes and the media on your computer the same way you would any other data on your computer.
    External hard drives are a good option, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the external drive.
