Unable to Launch iTunes - Windows 7

I'm unable to launch iTunes on my PC. I'm running Windows 7. I tried t unistall and reinstall, twice, but it stll will NOT launch. Any suggestions?

Hi b noir...I thought I did "precise text" when I said I'm unable to launch iTunes. There is no error message there is nothing...it just does not launch. However, I figured it out...it's a Quicktime issue. Weird but it was.
Thanks for your reply...you were the only one!

TS1277 Unable to launch itunes from my PC. Get an error stating MSVCR80.dll is missing and need to re-install itunes. I've reinstalled numerous times...still not working. What should I do?

I'm currently unable to launch itunes from my PC. I get an error message stating that MSVCR80.dll is missing. It recommends that I re-install itunes and that may correct the issue. I've re-installed numerous times and nothing seems to be working. What should I do?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Unable to launch itunes 9.02 64bit on Windows 7 64bit

I just got a new computer running windows 7 home premium.
Downloaded the latest version of itunes and installed it with no issues.
after install i left the box checked to "launch itunes" only nothing happened.
If i try to launch the app from desktop it shows up in my task manager then removes itself 15sec later.
Same thing happens with quicktime.
The apple software updater will work.
I've uninstalled, rebooted, and the issue remains.
I'm at a bit of a loss here. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks,
md

I've read that the best thing to do with pre-installed Windows 7 is to... install a retail version sans bloatware and trialware.
Newegg sells the System Builder, or try reinstall.
As for Norton, they have a removal tool on their Community forum and web site, uninstall doesn't always do a good job (if it was NIS/NAV 2010 or N360 v4, those may be Windows 7 compatibile, earlier version are not).

Unable to launch iTunes recently after my windows vista update

When I launch iTunes, the error prompted. "iTunes has stopped working" - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available - "Close program" button. Then the following error prompted;
What is the Data Execution Prevention (DEP)?

Is anyone know how to fix it??

What is the Data Execution Prevention (DEP)?
Can you check something further for me please, joseph? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch?

Issues launching iTunes windows 7 64 bit

Hi people who are hopefully a lot smarter than I am,
I can't launch iTunes on my computer. I've searched the discussion boards and tried all the fixes I've seen suggested and nothing is working. When I double-click on it it does nothing; if I hold down ctrl-shift to start it in safe mode it does nothing; I've repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled QuickTime several times; I've repaired iTunes a million times as well. It isn't showing up in my task manager at all either. The action center just keeps telling me to download the most recent version to fix the launch issue and like I said that's done nothing. I even connected my iPad via USB and that didn't get it to launch and tried deleting SC Info .sidb and .sidd files. Also, it's not responding to my storm of curse words. I've tried so many things I can't remember them all.
I'm not sure if this is related, but a couple days ago the action center already showed iTunes had failed to launch several dozen times and then my computer would freeze when it was trying to load Windows and the diagnostics were indicating HD failure. I booted to a CD of SeaTools for DOS that I had from when my HD failed over a year ago and it failed the short test and found a bunch of errors in the long test but it was able to repair them. I can get back into Windows now but my super good friend iTunes is still holding out.
What I would really like to do is fix it with a hammer, but something tells me then nothing else on my computer will work either so I'm open to any other suggestions. Has anyone else run into this issue and found a fix?

Someone else? asked the same early this AM.
I'd guess your registry was at fault to begin with, and that you need to reset all the program and file types back to defaults is all.
But then look under the hood for why as it is very uncommon and maybe Windows is at fault.
Consider total uninstall AND use Revo and maybe CCleaner 3.12 as well as clean out %TEMP% folder and run chkdsk

I have tried checking for updates, and I have also shut down and re-started. To no avail. Lastly I tried to open itunes in "safe mode" but nothing happened!
Can anyone help please??

Hello jammydodger0905
The best method is to completely remove iTunes and related components and then reinstall iTunes again.

TS1470 I have Norton Security but unable to launch iTunes

I have not been able to launch iTunes from Windows 7. Not sure if this is due to some sort of security configuration that is on my Norton Security>

No error message is received. I would click on iTunes icon to launch and nothing happens.
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)?

Unable to rescale iTunes Window (Mac OS)

Help!

Unable to launch iTunes 10.2.1

I'm having problems when trying to open iTunes 10.2.1 in Windows 7 (64-bit).
When I try to launch the program it loads for about 2 seconds and then stops. The iTunes.exe *32 process does appear in task manager. I have tried ending the process but nothing happens - it does not disappear from the list.
I have tried a complete reinstall to no avail. I have also tried disabling the Bonjour service, which hasn't helped.
I have also tried opening the program in compatibility mode, but this doesn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If stopping Bonjour did not work, then another thing it might be is a problem with the configuration file, see this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363?viewlocale=en_US
There have been some reported of iTunes being very very slow to start. If you wait 15 mins or so, does iTunes eventually open?
In the end though you are into general troubleshooting:

Thanks for any support.

Okay everyone I found a solution that worked for me and I hope will work for each of you. For those who have not read my previous post I am running a PC with Windows Vista. I checked the other apple software that I have on my pc and noticed that Quicktime would open but was not working properly. With the link between Quicktime and iTunes, I decided to switch my efforts to Quicktime over iTunes. So, I went into my control panel and uninstalled Quicktime. I then went to apple.com/quicktime/download/ and installed Qicktime 7.7 for windows. I completed the install and was then able to open iTunes. It almost seemed to simple. I hope this helps.

TS1717 I am unable to launch iTunes, when I double-click on the icon, a prompt comes up saying, "iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissons for this folder." This issue occurred out of the blue! How do I correct this?

I don't know what suddenly caused this. I haven't installed anything weird or obscure, I've kept up with all of the normal updates for Windows, my anti-virus, and other normal software (Adobe, Apple products, Steam). So all I did today was double-clicked on the iTunes icon, and the prompt that I supplied kept popping up. I rebooted my computer, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and all of my Apple products (Quicktime, Safari). But nothing seems to be working.
I could sure use some much appreciated assistance!!! Thank you!

I did what I could out of the information provided, however there was quite a bit of difference between the XP format and Windows 7. After trying what I could, I was still receiving the same error message. Besides trying to fix this issue, I'm also trying to figure out how this whole thing started to begin with.

I'm unable to launch iTunes.

The error message asks me to reinstall itunes when I try to launch it. I have reinstalled it many times but I still get the same message. Anyone else have this?

Having this problem too: IT'S REALLY REALLY ANNOYING!!! Anyone have an idea how to sort this?
