Please Help iTunes wont stay open

When I open my iTunes, and the itunes store begins to load, the store and my library automatically close. It stays on for about a second, then closes by itsself. I cant even get to my library for more than two seconds without it closing. Please help, very frustrated. Thank you!

ok i deleted /Libraries/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg and deleted the iTunes i had tried to download and install then re-downloaded iTunes again and it still won't open. should i delete iTunes3.pkg and iTunes4.pkg too? am i doing something wrong? this is incredibly frustrating, i feel like i've deleted all this stuff off my comp. but nothing does anything

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

at this stage, whenever i open itunes, this error message pops up "registry settings used bythe itunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing . This can happen as a result of installing ther CD burning softwares. Please reinstall Itunes".
i tried just uninstalling and installing Itunes.
then i tried uninstalling Itunes and other itunes relating programs (Bonjour, apple software updater, quicktime, etc) the recommended methd on this web site
but this doesnt change anything.
then recently i tried, going to my C hardrive and find GearAspiwdm.inf, then right click then install them.
and also, downloading the Gear drivers installation x86 x64.
then i nolonger get the error message but my itouch still wont synch....

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.)

PLEASE HELP iTUNES WONT RUN!!!

I have uninstalled and downloaed iTunes numerous times.
Before it just would not open.
I thought it might be a virus so i went out and spent another $50 on virus protection program.
I reinstalled iTunes again, installed service pack 2, and installed new verion of Quicktime.
I've done everything I can think of.
now when I try to open iTunes I get a message saying:
" iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later.
Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for iTunes.exe. "
I have a Windows XP and installed SP2 which is what the iPod box says is required.
I am so fed up.
I worked to save up for the brand new iPod I have been wanting forever now and cant even use it.
Ive done as much as I can do and ive run out of ideas.
I dont know how to check the compatibility mode thing its asking me to check.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE?!?!?
thank you.

Hi judy123,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Give THIS this a try and see if it helps.

Please Help - Itunes no longer opens or works

Hi there.
Hoping someone out there can help solve my problem.
Problem occured after I first started dragging mp4 movies into the " Automatically add to Itunes" folder and was working for the first few but now the loading circle thing comes up as my mouse whenever I try to open itunes.
Have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting etc with no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I googled on "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" and the one I posted was the top hit. There were others from the Microsoft website - it sure seems like a WIndows problem, and not necessarily an iTunes problem.
This second hit talks about re-registering the Windows Installer service.

Good luck!

Please help- Itunes wont start up

Can anyone help? I installed itunes from the web and when I click the icon, it tells me that the "itunes folder could not be created and that the default location should be in My music". Itunes does not start up. I am on a PC using windows XP. Please Please assist. Anyone?

This problem is usually due to an incorrect registry setting for My Music, see this article:

PLEASE HELP Itunes wont load

All i want is to my songs on my ipod...I cant figured out anyother way so could someone Please Help

replying to duecer
The iTunes folder can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the MyMusic folder."
the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post. (heads up: that thread may take some time to load. leave it for a few minutes until it loads fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post by Nigel.)

PLEASE HELP itunes wont let me burn a disk

Is there a way to burn the playlist on your ipod.

Please help, itunes wont give me option to sync from my iphone

I have an iphone 4s and I just downloaded itunes on my hp with windows and the new itunes doesnt give me an option to sync my mnusic library onto my computer from my iphone. ive tried restarting it and unplugging it and they dont give me any options!

iTunes will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your iTunes library. To do that, authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Music from other sources on your phone (such as from ripped CDs) must be extracted from your phone using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).
If your iTunes library is still on your old computer, the best solution is to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

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):
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode

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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Hello arlyn-cavite,
If the screen is not showing anyting when you press any of the buttons you may want to try these steps.
From article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care,
Sterling
