It's saying your Windows 7 permissions aren't correct.
Try this, close itunes.
Open Windows Explorer to look at folders. Browse to this folder and try to open it:
C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
Will it let you?

When ever I try to open Firefox I get this message saying it can not open.

"Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." I did research on it and I found information on it and it said to to see if the cert6.db is read only and if so unchecked it and restart Firefox, I did that and it did not work same message came up so it then said to delete the file and let Firefox create a new and that should work and it didn't finally they said the fire could be corrupted and to reinstall it I did and it will still not work and i also have over a hundred gbs of free hd space so its not enough room on the hard drive.

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

I When ever I try to open iTunes, it immediately freezes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I am using a Windows 7 laptop, 64 bit. When ever I try to open iTunes, it immediately freezes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling, and also going back to previous versions. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks!!

You need to remove all installer file, uninstall iTunes and all related programs, then do a clean install.
Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back up on an external hard drive when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!

When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

Any suggestions please?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

When ever I go into my itunes I get this registered user message for Sprint. Am I doing something wrong?

Sprint has nothing to do with iTunes or iPads.

TS1717 When I try to open iTunes I get this message; The iTunes Library.itl cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the " iTunes" folder in the "My Music" folder. I have uninstalled and re-installed EVERYTHING apple related.

iTunes used to open with no issues, then suddenly did this upon launch. So I found every file associated with apple and whiped the computer clean; reinstalled then tried to open iTunes, with fingers crossed............no luck. I am stumped and frustrated. Don't know what to do next. Can anyone help me?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

When I try to open iTunes I get this error on my Toshiba Satellite

Any thoughts on what this means and why iTunes won't open anymore?

P4:icuuc40.dll P5:4.0.0.3207
You're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file. (Apple Application Support is where program files that are used by more than one Apple program are kept.) Some XP systems aren't liking the 4.0.0.3207 version of the dll that is included in Apple Application Support 1.5.0.
The workaround at the moment on XP is to either:
(1) Swap out your existing version of the dll for the 4.0.0.3205 version that was included in Apple Application Support 1.4.1.
(2) Alternatively, you could download the icu4c-401-Win32-msvc8.zip from:
http://icu-project.org/download/4.0.html
... extract the 4.0.1.0 version of the dll from that package, and replace your current 4.0.0.3207 with that.
The location of the existing file on your system is at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\icuuc40.dll
Drag the copy you find there out onto your desktop, and then drag in the version 4.0.0.3205 or the 4.0.1.0.

TS3297 When I try to open iTunes i get that this message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes." I have downloaded the lastest version and it has not changed the message. What should I do next?

When I try to open iTunes I get this message " This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not correctly installed. Please reinstall iTunes." I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the message has not changed. What should i do next?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Hi did you ever get a solution to this problem? Having the same issue myself!

I tried updating to itunes 10.5 and now when i try to open itunes i get a message saying "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2)

Ok so I went to update my itunes 9 to itunes 10.5 and now I get and error message "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2) when ever I try to run itunes and iv been trying to fix this for like a month and let me tell you iTunes for windows is **** and I really want Icloud for my iphone 4 and yes iv tried uninstalling everything by apple in the correct order and reinstalling them after restart atleast honestly 20 - 30 times but nothing worked so if anyone can please help me I have windows 7 and a hp intel pentium computer

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

Upgrade iTunes to the latest version. It should be 10.5.3.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. The computer I transfered to had a bunch of files on it and I got full ownership of what was already there, so, how do I get to my iTunes library, I do have access as an administrator to the iTunes library (that works just fine) already there and I guess I must have had a newer version ofiTunes on my defunt eMac....

Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):
