Recently updated ITUNES, cannot open it now, Please help

I updated Itunes last night. Now it will not open when I click on it. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled with the same results. Any ideas?

Same problem here - Click to open iTunes and an error box (grey with red X) pops up with the following message:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Please help! It's doing my head in! Advice on other threads is to uninstall QuickTime and install the previous one (QuickTime 7). I did this and it has made no difference whatsoever; same error message pops up. An alternative solution is apparently to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall a previous version. I have not yet tried this - if i uninstall iTunes, won't i lose my music?!
Apparently this is a common error with Windows XP and Vista users after an update but it has never happened to me before.
Can anyone help please?

  • After the recent update Itunes wont open

    I recently updated the to the newestversion of itunes and upon trying to open it, nothing happens. I clicked on the icon multiple times and the blue loading wheel will appear for half a second and go away. I've waited and it still won't open. I tried removing Itunes and re-installing it and still no dice.
    I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    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)?

  • Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Please help!

    Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Also when I try to sink my mini with my iTunes account it says you cannot sync because the sync session failed to start.

    It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
    Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • The older version of iTunes cannot be removed. Please help!

    I had to manually delete iTunes from my Windows 7 PC. When that didn't work, I deleted iTunes from the Registry. There is no older version of iTunes anywhere.
    I still cannot reinstall iTunes. Please help. Thank you.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot Open ID File - Please Help

    Hello,
    I was sent a file by a client in InDesign, but when I try to open it I get the following message: "Cannot open (file name). Please update plugins to their latest versions or update to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
    I tried downloading plugins from the Adobe site, but it didn't appear to do anything. I have 5.5. I'm guessing this file may have been created in 6. Is there any way I can open this file? It is very important. Could anyone help?
    Thank you.

    @Bob...the OP gave the error message.
    @OP, can you have the person you received the file from save a copy as an IDML file? If this isn't possible, can you upgrade to CS6? And if not, you'll need to upload the file to drop box.com and provide a link either here in the forum, or if you need to keep the file private, provide the download link via a private message.

  • ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

    Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
    I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
    I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
    I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

    Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

  • I updated the pages software yet I'm still on the previous update and cannot open my files. Help!

    I updated the pages software version 5 yet I'm still on the previous update 4.3 and cannot open my files. Can anyone help?

    Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
    Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly

  • HT201407 I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instruction say to "slide to open" but I cannot open it!  Please help!

    I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open.  Please help? 

    Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

  • Trouble with "data transfer" from old computer. Cannot open documents. Please help! Thank you.

    What old documents, you need to be much more specific. The info we are loooking for is what app created them, what the file extension is etc...
