Simple question for Apple Support, iTunes fails after immediate error message.

I am currently in a situation that after starting up iTunes (on Windows), immediately a pop-up error message tells me " Nieuwe iTunes-bibliotheek", i.e. "New iTunes Library"
After this message nothing happens anymore. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't know if any of this will help, but the first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistance the next time you run it and you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
Hope this helps.

  • Itunes failing to launch - error message (-50)

    Hi
    Since yesterday my iTunes fails to launch.  I get the following message "An unknown error occurred (-50)".  I've tried the suggested solutions but nothing has worked.  Can anybody help
    Thank you

    Hi lilnikeair!
    Since iTunes uses QuickTime to play audio/video content in iTunes, that error message most likely indicates that there's a problem with your Quicktime installation.

  • Licensing question for apple support

    Posting this here as I cannot find a support email address anywhere.
    I have bought one batch of songs from itunes with the intent to convert them to mp3pro files. The official line seems to be Burn them to cd then rip them as if it's a store bought CD. Because I am working with 100 songs at a time this was a very tedious process. I found a piece of software that converted them from m4p directly to mp3 by playing them through my sound card and perfectly preserved the id3 tags. The tags btw were non existent using the burn method making the tedium exponentially worse.
    I cannot find any wording in the apple licensing to prevent this but would like to know their official position.
    These will never be shared or given away, the question is purely about one method vs another of reaching a common goal.

    Simply put, it is possible but not practical to use an Apple TV with a standard definition TV. The long version:
    Apple TV is designed for widescreen TV's, either ED (extended definition) or HD (high definition). However, it does support 480i (NTSC) & 576i (PAL) output formats, which are standard TV broadcast formats.
    The problem is few standard TV's accept component inputs (the three cable, luminance & color difference signals the Apple TV outputs, not to be confused with the RGB component standard supported by some SCART TV's), so you generally would need a fairly expensive converter to make these signals compatible with a standard TV.
    Even so, unless your TV has a high performance RGB or component input, or a DVI or at least VGA input, the results will be unacceptable, since composite or S-Video inputs of standard TV's lack the bandwidth necessary to display Apple TV's high resolution images without smearing, color fringing, & other visual artifacts.
    Also, Apple TV cannot play DVD's -- it has no DVD player built-in & no support to display DVD's running on a host computer.
    So, one alternative is to buy a video-capable iPod & a dock, which outputs standard definition video. This is more expensive than an Apple TV but probably not more expensive than one plus the converter you will likely need, & of course gives you a portable video device.
    Another alternative is to buy a compatible display, which could be a widescreen computer monitor with a DVI input. You could also burn some of your content to CD's & DVD's & use them in an inexpensive DVD player along with a standard TV.

  • One simple question for Apple Configurator

    Hi !
    I was wondering if possible to adjust setting on a Ipad anytime i wish by wifi.
    I always doing my setting for the profile when my ipad is plug (USB) in my mac mini. I wish that i can change the setting for all profile without the need to plug in my computer.  Is there a method, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

    If you need the functionality of Configurator, but want changes pushed over the internet instead of having to connect using a white wire, you need the Profile Manager service provided by OS X Server.  That's what it does.

  • HT5312 Hi, i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it

    HI. i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it, after verified email adress the link for reset questions is not available.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - if you've just added an address then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, which is a different setting/address on your account (a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions).
    You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I forgot my security questions for Apple store

    I forgot my security questions for Apple store

    This is the Reply I received, and it worked for me:
    I'm sorry that you weren't able to reset your security questions. I know it must be frustrating not being able to remember the answers, and I will certainly get you to the correct team to help.
    For security reasons, you'll need to contact our Account Security team.
    You can speak to an Account Security Advisor by calling our AppleCare technical support team. To find the right phone number for your country, see this article:
    Contacting Apple for support and service
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When you call, ask to speak to the Account Security team.
    They will need to verify  two of the following: Device serial number( if one is set up with your account information), one security question answer, and/ or a credit card number you have on file.
    ****( Add if Credit card is not on file) **
    I see that you do not have credit card information on your account, you can add this by :
    1) Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    2) Verify that you have an active network connection and open iTunes.
    3) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, select Sign In.
    4) Enter your account name and password then click Sign In.
    5) From the Store menu, select View My Account.
    6) Enter your account name and password again, then click View My Account.
    7) On your Apple Account Information page, click Edit Payment Information. Here you can add your card.
      You may remove this after speaking to the Account Security team, and verifying your account with them.

  • Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....

    Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

  • ITunes fails to load.  Message is Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade

    iTunes fails to load.  Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?

    Dave, same problem here.  And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service.  It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period.  All of the normal "easy" steps don't work.  Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
    But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again.  This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting).  Win 7 64bit.  It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version.   Period.
    If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on.  Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors.  It has to learn to play nice with others.
    After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post. 
    Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right.  Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours.  It is a matter of choice, of course.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
