When I try opening iTunes, it fails to load!
Ok, well I click on my iTunes, from my desktop or start menu, anywhere possible. My laptop freezes over, for about five minutes, and then when it unfreezes, an error message pops up that says "iTunes failed to load because there is not enough memory available" or something along those lines.
I still have 97.4 GB of memory free out of 129 GB.
It has never done this before!!! and, as a sidenote, I let a friend borrow my laptop for the night, and when I got it back, alto of things took much much much longer to load, it froze/freezes alot, and theres a random toolbar on Firefox that I don't remember ever installing.
I went through "Add and Remove Programs" but I never saw anything different, and my Yahoo got uninstalled, so my Yahoo Anti-Spy is gone, and my computer won't download anything anymore without it taking an hour, freezing, etc.
Sometimes it works perfectly fine (my computer) and I never really have problems with network loading, Firefox, or anything else.
It's just iTunes!!!
What could be the problem?
No it's not just iTunes and malware these days doesn't conveniently load itself into Add/Remove.
You run a malware scan on that computer now.
TrendMicro's House Call is online, free and your best bet right now.
If you get blocked from that sight then you may be facing a full format and re-install so I hope you've got back up.
The next time that friend wants to borrow your laptop just tell him/her "No!".

My Ipod touch 5th gen is connected to wifi but internet doesnt work on it. It is showing full connectivity but when i try using itunes or safari, nothing loads.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Just updated itunes to (10.22.14) and itunes won't open. I get message: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. Is there any other way to troubleshoot this other than reinstalling itunes?
With that one in that context, I think we should check for malware.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look. -
can anyone help lol?
Does it just say "Accessing iTunes Store" and stay like that?
If so, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -

2. to restore ipad using the recovery mode option. However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" cloud option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).
3. to remotely erase my ipad, but as it is locked down it does not seem to be connecting to the internet and hence cannot seen through my "find my ipad".

I get the message 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close' when trying to open itunes 11.1.1.11. I had to uninstall itunes so that I could load this version as the update to version 11 kept failing. The PC says 11.1.1.11 is correctly loaded, but I now cannot open itunes. Any advice on how to get itunes working again?
Hello there, ytnoj.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky endeavor and must be done in a very specific way. The following Knowledge Base article provides the step-by-step of the process:

Error message (-50) when trying to open iTunes 8
Has anyone come across this error message when installing iTunes?
Looks as though install ok - but the app will not open.
"iTunes could not be opened. An unknown error (-50) occurred."Message numbers in the 13000 range are usually do to a problem with Genius. I have seen 2 totally different fixes posted here in the forums. edit - Sounds like you already tried method 1.
*Method 1*
Rename these files, or delete them
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
Try opening iTunes again. And turn off Genius as fast as you can. You can turn it back on later, but first get iTunes running.
*Method 2*
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Choose iTunes, press the Change button and then the repair button.

When trying to open itunes. Error message: iTunes.exe - Bad Image
I am unable to open iTunes and I recive this message when I open it up, "The application or DLL C:/WINDOWS/system32/softpub.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Any help to what this means? Thanks
From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 ::
Fix digital signing of Windows drivers
In some cases an issue with the digital signing of certain Windows XP drivers can prevent iTunes from launching. Use the following steps to correct such issues:
1. Highlight all of the following 4 lines of text that begin with regsvr32 and then choose Copy from the Edit menu of your web browser:
regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
2. Open the Notepad program by navigating to:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
3. In Notepad, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Note: make sure that the text that appears in Notepad is the same as what is shown above.
4. From the File menu, choose Save As.
5. In the File name: field type iTunes.bat and save the file to the Desktop.
6. Close Notepad and locate the iTunes.bat file. It should appear on the Desktop.
7. Double-click the file and you will see a black window appear on the screen for about a minute. Wait until the window automatically disappears and proceed to the next step.
8. The iTunes.bat file can be deleted at this time.
9. Try opening iTunes again.

Why do I get an error message when trying to open Itunes??????
I have installed I tunes on to my computer about ten separate times now and every time I try to open it I get a message that says.
" The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created,and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
Can anyone help me out????" The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created,and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
but if you run into the complication where My Music doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

Help ....Error message when trying to open itunes 11 after installing..cant solve it !!!
Keep getting an error message when trying to open iTunes 11 after installing...running Windows ...have tried most fixes ...message says ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
Also when iTunes first opesn after installing ....the message come up that says "A required iTunes component is not installed .please repair or reinstalll iTunes (-45075)"
Have repaired , reinstalled , created and used a restore point etc etc
How do I fix this !!! Please...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy Happened after an upgrade. Can anyone help?
By way of experiment, let's try launching iTunes as an administrator.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Does it launch without the -50 now? -
Eror when trying to open ITunes after installing
I get this error when I try and open iTunes immediately after installing it on my new Windows Vista pc. Please help.
"The folder itunes can not be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is in side the My music folder."
HP Other OS Vista"The folder itunes can not be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is in side the My music folder."
the interesting complication here is that you're getting this in Vista, rather than XP. since it's typically associated with a Registry problem on the PC, i'd proceed with extreme caution if you tried to adapt the standard techniques. (i'm honestly not sure if TweakUI is even compatible with Vista.)
anyhoo, all these caveats being mentioned, the standard place to start with one of these in XP is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... and, in XP, the standard thing to try if you run into the complication where My Music doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI is the alternate procedure from this Nigel Carpenter post:
Nigel Carpenter: re: Itunes problem
whether or not these work in Vista will depend on how the registry is structured there. if any expert on cross-OS Registry comparison could weigh in at this point, i'd be most obliged. -
I purchased a book in I books and it's shows downloaded but when I go to open it reads " failed to load because requested resource is missing". how do I retrieve my book?
Hello Mike,
I am sure you are eager to read the new book you purchased. I have a few suggestions to download and open your book.
First, I recommend deleting the book from iBooks and downloading it from your list of past purchases using the steps in the following article:
