Unable to open Itunes in Windows 7

Hello...
I've got Itunes 9.2, and it will not open in Windows 7 64bit. I've tried removing & reinstalling it but still won't open, no error messages or anything. Any idea why it won't open and how to fix the issue?
Thanks........ Glenn

I use Norton Internet Security 2010 that's it for protection wise
Thanks again. We're a match there, so I can walk you through this in a bit of detail.
First, head into task manager and end any running iTunes.exe processes. (If one of those is already running, that can also silently suppress an iTunes launch ... having one running while adjusting firewall rules for iTunes can also cause Norton to get a bit grumpy.)
Now bring up the main window for your NIS.
In the Network area, click "Settings".
In the Settings Window, click "Network Settings".
Scroll down to the "Smart Firewall" section. Next to "Program Control" click the "Configure" link.
That gets you into the list of firewall rules for your applications.
Check through the list for an iTunes rule.
*If you can't see an iTunes rule:* Create a new iTunes rule. Set it to "Allow".
*If you can see an iTunes rule but it isn't set to "Allow":* Click the "Access" drop-down menu for the iTunes rule and set it to "Allow".
*If you can see an iTunes rule and it is set to "Allow":* Delete the existing rule, and create a new rule for iTunes. Set it to "Allow".
After making the settings changes, click apply and restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?

    Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
    IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
    Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
    Then:
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

    "apple mobile device failed to start"  "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" came up on windows XP upgrade to 11.1.4 and since have been unable to open itunes - uninstalled and tried reinstall to no avail - what to do ? Ken

    I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
    Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
    Can anyone please help?

    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.

  • I run windows 7.  Since updating itunes, I have been unable to open itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and have chosen to run a administrator.  Itunes icon now displays a shield with yellow

    I run windows 7.  Have been unable to open itunes since updating last week.  I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, and have checked run as administrator, but still can no open.  I notice that there is now a shield with yellow and blue squares next to it, that i do not think were there before.

    many thanks, Mary.
    The ModName is ituneup.dll; the modver is 1.0.7.0.
    Do you have the TuneUp plugin installed for your iTunes? If so, I think your copy is causing the issue here. Try the following document:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    ... does that help with the launch errors?

  • Unable to install Itunes in Windows XP

    I am unable to Install Itunes oin Windows xp professional SP2, it gives below error: Let me know how to get it installed

    OK, there is still not much to go there.
    I assume you are using 32 bit XP Pro, iTunes will not install on 64 bit XP but you should get a different error.
    Lets try installing the components of iTunes separately.
    Download the iTunes installer and save it in your downloads folder.
    The files will be either itunessetup.exe or itunes64setup.exe for a 64 bit system.
    Open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
    md temp
    itunes64setup /extract temp
    pause
    Remove 64 for 32 bit itunes.
    Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
    Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
    You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
    Install by double clicking on them  in this order:
    Apple Application Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    iTunes
    Make a note of any error messages and which component it relates to.
    Also use the Windows Event viewer to see if there are error messages at the time you attempted the installs.
    The following article gives information about using the Event Viewer:

  • Unable to open Itunes in Vista - data execution prevention (DEP)

    I'm unable to open itunes on my computer. I can install it but not open it. It says that the data execution prevention has stopped the running of the program. I have tried to change the settings of the data execution program, but it will not allow me to accept itunes - as it says that DEP has to be activated for itunes and cannot be deactivated. What do I do?

    One temporary solution is to run itunes through XP rather than vista.
    To do this go to the program icon (makes sure its not a shortcut, and the actual program icon, you can find this in your program files if its on on your desktop)
    sideclick on the icon
    go to properties
    compatibility tab
    check Windows XP service pack 2
    tell it to apply
    This should allow you to use itunes

  • Unable to open itunes after update

    unable to open itunes after update

    I had a user with the same issue after updates and I was able to resolve. 
    I copied QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    I did so after uninstalling and re-installin, but I don't beleive that was necesssary.  Thanks to user thurdy.  This fix was from apple support for the error "iTunes stopped working".  Figured I'd give a shot and it ended up working.
    For reference the user was receiving the following errors exactly:
    "the procedure entry point ?fastfree@***@@YAXPAX@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library JavaScriptCore.dll"
    and
    "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error127)"

    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Unable to update iTunes.. now unable to OPEN iTunes

    I was having trouble trying to update my iTunes because it was unable to uninstall Quicktime.. but now I can't even open iTunes. Windows keeps telling me that it encountered an error and has to shut down the program. How do I get iTunes to open? And how can I update my iTunes and Quicktime?
      Windows XP  

    I was having trouble trying to update my iTunes because it was unable to uninstall Quicktime.. but now I can't even open iTunes. Windows keeps telling me that it encountered an error and has to shut down the program.
    let's check to see if the current itunes problem is being caused by a broken or missing QuickTime. (itunes needs a properly functioning QT in order to work properly.) try launching your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, try uninstalling your existing QT from Add/Remove. does it uninstall, or do you get an error message or other unusual behavior?

  • HT5318 cannot open itunes on windows 7 64 bit

    I am no longer able to open iTunes on windows 7 64 bit.  Have tried "repair" option and remove and redownload.

    I am trying to understand the exact sequence of events here:
    Firstly the iTunes installer includes Quicktime and you should not have to install it separately.
    You downloaded the 32 bit iTunes installer: iTunesSetup.exe.
    Normally the correct version should be downloaded automatically so that shouldn't have happened.
    When you tried to run it, did it warn you that you had the wrong version and stop without installing anything?
    Then you downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe
    What happened when you tried to run that, did you get any error messages? If so give the full text.
    What iTunes related programs do you actually have installed, if any?
    Check in Programs on the Control Panel.
    The following link on uninstalling iTunes lists the programs you need to look for.
