"View In iTunes" Does Not Open iTunes

I am running Windows 8.1 and have installed iTunes. However, when I click on a "View In iTunes" link on the iTunes site, instead of it opening iTunes, I get a Web page telling me I need to download iTunes. Apparently it can't figure out that it's already installed. Why?
Thanks for your help

Thanks. I thought that was probably what you meant, and as I said, I was using Chrome. Your post prompted me to try a different browser. When I tried it in Firefox, it asked me what application I wanted to use to open that kind of file (which Chrome never did), and after I answered that, it opened iTunes properly. However, it doesn't play the podcast; it just displays a list of my albums. The only way I can play the podcasts is to search for them within the program.
So then I tried Internet Explorer. It also prompted me for a program, and when I specified iTunes it took me directly to the list of Magnetic Memory podcasts, but again didn't play the one I had selected in the browser; I had to play it within the application.
What do I need to do?
Thanks again for your prompt and helpful replies.

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

ITunes does not open when iPhone connected.

When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
Thank you.

Hello 51kFred,
Here is a resource that should help resolve the iPhone not showing in iTunes.

ITunes does not open when ipod connected

Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.

Ever since updating to OS 10.10.3, my iTunes does not open anymore!

Ever since I updated to 10.10.3, my iTunes does not open anymore.
I have restarted my computer, and tried to open it again but it did nothing. I installed iTunes again and also did not help. Opening iTunes from the application folder in Finder did nothing, as well as opening it from the launchpad did not help.
The app does not even bounce up and down in the dock, it just does nothing.
I think I have tried almost all basic methods. Is there anything else I can do?!
Please help!

Connect your iPhone to your computer. Select it under Devices in the source list left side of the iTunes window.

When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically

When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically, even though I have the "open iTunes when this phone is connected" option checked. I'm on the latest Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.4 and use an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.4. I think the problem began with the latest iTunes update.

Found the answer in another discussion! Here's what worked:
"I also had the same problem, iTunes 10.4 wouldn't launch when connecting iPhone 3GS.
I unchecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected", restarted, launched iTunes and connected iPhone, rechecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected". I was asked if I wanted to install iTunes helper and said yes. All works again."
