Pleae help, itunes wont synch after update

after a recnt update for my itouch 4s, it wont synch with my itouch anymore, nor would my pc charge my itouch.
now whenever i open itunes , a message pops out, it says "the registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing, this can happen as a result of isntalling other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes."
i tried
uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (numerous times)
delete all programs relating to itunes (appple softwareupgade, Bonjour,Itunes, etc) then reinstalling them.
Note: my ipod touch can synch and be recharged from other PCs, o i guess its just my Itunes software problem
any help will be very appreciated, THANKS

i have tried the 3 step thing again which u mentioned above in your first commet, but at the end i was under the suggestion of other resources and search "GearAspiWDM.inf" and right click and install after the steps. i did that. ow whenever i open itunes, terror message wont appear, but it ont connec with my itouch.
i cant find a suitable application for registry repair... sorry
and also i downloaded Gears Driver installer x86 x64, so i dont know whether its this installing "fixed" the error message , or my installation on GearAspiWDM.inf

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Itunes wont open after update for itunes and ipod

    alright, so i have no clue what im doing. ive been going through this board looking for different solutions to my problem but nothing seems to be working and im running out of options.
    i was having troubles with itunes before, so i unistalled itunes and quicktime and reinstalled it, and i was still experiencing the same problems with having the program open. i uninstalled and reinstalled once more and then i got it to open and when i tried to update my ipod, it said i needed the new updater software, so i downloaded that. after all of that, my itunes won't open again and i dont know what to do anymore. i just want my stuff to work and nothing i seem to do helps with the problem.
    any ideas on what to do to get both itunes and my ipod to work again?

    I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

  • Itunes wont open after updated software last night

    iTunes wont open up on my Mac after I updated software last night

    Hey there Nedswan,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after it updated recently. I would check for 3rd party plugins that may have lost compatibility when the software was updated first:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
    you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
    OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
    You should see this message before iTunes starts up: "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
    Note: This is different than Safe Boot or Safe Mode for Mac OS X. You may need to test both at the same time to isolate all third-party interference.
    Click Continue and see if any issues persist. If your issues are resolved with iTunes running in Safe Mode, check the following:
    Consult the vendor of any plug-ins you installed to see if they're compatible with your version of iTunes and check for any updates that may be available.
    Close iTunes and move third-party add-ons to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in these locations:
    Mac: /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Itunes wont launch after update

    After updating Itunes the application will not launch

    that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    the following document may be of some help with that:

  • Error -3 / Itunes wont open after updated with Quicktime 7

    I have been having problems with my Quicktimes for over a month. I was unale to take my son to his favortie websites. I was able to disable quicktime as a default, but now two things have happend. I can't open up Itunes, and now I can't hear any sound when I go to my son's favorite website. This happened a few days after I disabled it. I removed, and reinstalled Itunes, it wouldn't open, it said that I need to update. I updated it, and it still wont open. WhenI try to internal repair it it tells my error -3. Please help, I am about to lose my mind!
    Thanks in advance

    hi geraldo!
    When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
    good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
    ... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
    check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
    Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
    ... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
    iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
    QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
    iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
    if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?
    love, b

  • HELP Itunes wont launch after upgrading

    I downloaded the latest Itunes, and then tried to launch it.
    I keep getting the following message
    "error getting file security :\C\program files\get last error 5
    I have even tried to remove I tunes through the add & remove section in the control panel, but this also does not allow me to do this and i get the same message.
    Can someone help ???

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
    some preliminary questions.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Itunes wont open after updating. windows 7 ultimate

    Hi,
    I have been using itunes for perfectly fine then when i updated it, it stopped working. The update required a restart but i elected to manually restart, but i believe i forgot to and tried to open itunes and i got an error saying "iTunes has stopped working: check online for solutions or close program." I restarted my computer but it still doesnt work. ive already tried numerous things like a fresh install (uninstalled every apple program basically). any suggestions?

    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 the 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.
    If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
