TS1717 itunes won't open at all

I cannot open ITunes at all on my computer. It used to work fine and I tried reinstalling and repairing and even plugging in the IPad and it still won't open. I tried opening it holding down control and shift and nothing. Any suggestions? I have an HP Touchsmart desktop using Windows 7.

No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,

Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

Hey try this out:
Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
Let me know if this works out.

Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe...

ITunes won't open at all... only error messages

After upgrading to iTunes 8.0.2, iTunes won't open at all

I used to use iTunes 7.0.4 and recently tried updating to 8.0.2. Once I installed the new upgrade, iTunes won't open! I double click, use the Run feature, etc etc without any luck. I also tried to re-install an earlier version of iTunes but for whatever reason that won't download correctly. I am hesitant to un-install and then re-install for fear of losing my entire library - any suggestions??
Thanks so much in advance!

Had the same problem with the new update. I finally got back to my previous version by using system restore. After the restore I had to go to the "All Programs" list and click on Quicktime and iTunes individually to allow them to re-configure, then had to restart the computer again. After that all's well. My lbrary was intact.
I tried everything to get the newest version to work, including completely uninstalling my current versions of QT and iTunes, then downloading the latest directly from the Apple website, but, after 3 attempts, nothing worked. Guess I'll have to wait for the next update and try again.
By the way, your library is not actually stored in iTunes--it is stored in your Music folder, so you should not lose anything by uninstalling iTunes if you need to.

TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

Howdy rtih,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

TS1717 iTunes won't open in safe mode either

After my last update iTunes won't open as usual or in safe mode.

Hold down the shift key while starting. Will it create new library and open? If not then it is possible your installation was bad.

Mt iTunes won't open at all! someone help me please?

Basically,I click on my iTunes icon on the computer,and it won't open.
Why is that happening?

This is what I post when hardly any info is given.
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, use these steps from Lorraine
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
Especially if you are seeing the license agreement flash by
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts
