TS1424 MSVCR80.DLL file newest version of itunes won't open

how do i fix this?

I too am having the same problem. iTunes appears as a process in Task Manager but after about 3 seconds ... nothing. It does not appear in the Applications tab. It just looks like it is waiting for something.
This occured after I installed the latest version of iTunes.
I have:
deinstalled iTunes and quicktime
re-installed
re-installed old versions
removed every reference to iTunes in regEdit
used unlocker to ensure no files locked (other than system files)
renamed mymusic/itunes directory
removed my virus checker
rebooted 1256 time! at least
scanned google endlessly looking for ideas - I have tried a few without success
(eg removing C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info.sidb file)
pulled out most of my remaing hair
... and none of this changes anything!
The only thing left I can thing of doing is reinstalling XP - but this is pretty drastic with no garantee of working.
Can anyone help us both?

I am Using Itunes For Windows and have my entire music library synced on the laptop. When i tried upgrading to the new version i am getting a system error "MSVCR80.dll file missing". My itunes refuses to open.I have many playlists and songs which i want

1. how Do I solve this issue.
2. How do I ensure that i do not lose my playlists along with the songs.
3. What is the procedure needed to be followed.

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

Did you try to uninstall and reinstall the iTunes back in?

Itunes update failed on 2 computers, couldn't find msvcr80.dll files.Now have no itunes at all

iTunes update failed on both computers. Couldn't find msvcr80.dll, now I have no iTunes at all. Is it iTunes or the computers?

I did NOT move the other folders (Album Artwork, Mobile Applications, Playlists, Previous iTunes Libraries) or files (iTunes Library, iTunes Library Extras, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Music Library) that are located inside the Music/iTunes folders.
should be no problem. i'm doing this also.
Everything was working fine on both computers - Consolidated the library on the external drive and did the Change the location of the iTunes Media folder in Preferences on both computers, no problem.
However I added two movies and a few songs to my desktop Mac yesterday - all showed up and played fine after adding them - but when I plug the external drive into my laptop, the new additions don't appear in the library.
if you're purchasing content from the iTMS, you could use _*Home Sharing*_ to automatically add new content to all machines on your local network.
Am I right in guessing that it is because the iTunes Library file on the laptop isn't the same as the one on the desktop computer?
yes.
Is there a way to add them to the library listing on the laptop? If yes, is that something I need to do every time I connect the external drive to the laptop if I've added things from the desktop computer (I never add stuff on the laptop).
basically, yes. however, there's _*Home Sharing*_ and ... see below.
Should I have put the entire iTunes folder - files, folder and media - onto the external drive?
that's one possibility, however, only one Mac @ a time could access that library. there are other options:
*the easy way*
check out TuneRanger.

Newest version of Itunes won't let me import CDs

I recently installed the newest version of Itunes (10.6.1). Now every time I open it, I get the message: "Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you will have to reinstall Itunes." I have to click OK, and then Itunes opens. Also, all the music I have previously imported from CDs is listed under "unknown Album," without artist or track number information. However, I do still have the files in My Music.
Possible related issues: I wanted to install the latest version because Itunes was not recognizing my ipod. I did have some trouble with the install; something about Windows not recognizing this download as safe, even though I got it from apple.com. I proceeded anyway. I have also had trouble with Itunes taking up too much space on my computer, and having to split my library between my C and D drives. In addition, my computer is 6 years old.
I am going to try to install Itunes again; is there anything I can do to make sure it works this time, i.e. recognizes all of my imported music?

This worked for me:
Find your added songs in your playlists (you'll find them there)
Select them
Right click and 'Make version for MP3'
As a little miracle you'll now find the album in your album and number-tab.
The album now contains two versions of each song. Delete one and the album remains.

MSVCR80.dll file missing (after latest iTunes update). Unable to reinstall iTunes either. Fixes?

After installing the latest iTunes update, I am unable to open iTunes (The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer). Plugging in my iDevices won't prompt iTunes to open, either (they are viewed only as mass storage devices). I attempted to reinstall iTunes, but recieved an error message that said I had insufficient rights to install (I am an administrator). Is anyone else having similar problems? Is there a way to fix it that won't include uninstalling the current version of iTunes? Don't want to lose all my files! Thanks for a rapid response, Community. I appreciate all the help I can get.

I Downloaded new version of ITunes - won't open now.

What a fiasco. Everything was working fine until I bit on the message to "update my IPod software". I finally succumbed to that then everything went to (*&(. After the IPOD update, my Itunes would not open my IPOD even though the device manager recognized it. So, I went to Apple support and downloaded the new Itunes. It won't open and my IPod is hosed - file folder with exclamation point. I even tried reloading the Itunes disk I got with the original purchase in 04/2005. Didn't work. I am on my third IPod since 04/2005 and it looks like I may need to send this one in also. But, I need to get Itunes up and running. I would restore my IPod if it was recognized. HELP.

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

Updated version of iTunes won't open HELP!

After updating my version of iTunes to the most current version it now will not open. After telling iTunes to "run" the hour glass appears next to the mouse pointer and that is the extent of its attempt to open. The hour glass appears, then disappears just as quickly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled on 3 different occasions and have read through "iTunes 7: Answers to frequent installation questions" as well as other user discussion forums with similar problem descriptions and followed the directions but nothing has worked thus far. Please help!!! I need my music!

+After updating my version of iTunes to the most current version it now will not open. After telling iTunes to "run" the hour glass appears next to the mouse pointer and that is the extent of its attempt to open.+
some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) 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?

New version of iTunes won't open on my iMac

Newbie here. I checked my version of iTunes and it says it's current with version 10.6.3, of course there is 11.1.0 out now. So I download it. But won't open. Just like the latest Flash update, it downloads but I can't play the videos that prompted me to download it. Im sure you understand my frustration. Thnaks in advance guys.
ram

v10.6.3 Snow Leopard is outdated. You need to update your Mac OS X to v10.6.8
Installing the combo will bring your software up to date > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
iTunes should work but you may need to reinstall Flash > Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player

New version of itunes won't open on my macbook

I have just downloaded the new version of itunes and now it won't open on my macbook. Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to open it?

The Newest version of iTunes won't download. I uninstalled it and then am trying to re-install it but all I keep getting is an error message.

I uninstalled iTunes the first time because it wasn't updating my phone. And now, when I go to re-install it I am getting an error message that says "The installer has insufficient privelages to modify this file" (x86) I don't know how to get around this and now I can't sync or update my phone or anything because I don't have iTuunes so it's pointless.

i have the same problem, have unistalled itunes as was told to because of upgrade fault & now have nothing

Newest version of iTunes won't order my songs on my iPod correctly

The newest iTunes update totally messes the way that I sorted my purchased playlist. I had them sorted by numbers of play descending, but when I sync my iPod, the songs aren't the way that I have sorted them on iTunes and it just started happening. Anyway I can fix this?

Its not sorting ANYTHING in descending (down arrow) order.

My newest version of Pages won't open previous saved documents. It keeps saying this version not supported please update, but it already is. Please help.

My previously saved documents in Pages will not open. When I click on one of the documents it is saying, "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Apps Store, but when I click on the apps store, it states that is installed and running the current version. Help, I can't open any of my saved documents.

The problem is that you have both versions of pages on your computer - pages 09 is in the dock with the old ink pot icon - pages version 5 (orange pen and paper icon) is in your applications folder. Delete your pages 09 icon from your dock by dragging it upwards in a puff of smoke - and drag the pages 05 icon from the applications folder to your dock and use that in future. This fixed it for me.
I presume I can uninstall pages 09 now. You need to do the same with numbers and keynote.

I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and each time I repeatedly get the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer Try reinstalling to fix this problem". I have tried reinstalling several times and I get the same message . Any ideas? I am most appreciative. I am using Windows 7.

Hi 49balf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend removing and reinstalling iTunes using these steps:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
