Why can't I launch itunes by clicking icon on desktop or toolbar?

I've downloaded the latest version, but the only way I can get itunes to launch is by plugging in my ipod. Any ideas?

So iTunes starts and works normally when you plug in your iPod, but not when you double click on your desktop shortcut?
Does anything happen when you double click on the icon? If you start the task manager (press ctrl and delete), does iTunes appear on the processes tab?
The only thing I can suggest is that you try creating a new desktop shortcut and see if that works.
Go to My computer C: drive
Open Program Files\iTunes
Right click on iTunes.exe and select Send To>>Desktop (create short cut)

    why can't icloud or itunes take my outlook information so I can transfer it to my new iphone?

    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?

    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.

    Why can't I redeem iTunes credit to buy gems in clash of clans?  It keeps charging to my credit card. It happened from my iPad and from IPhone 3G.

    You have a balance on your account i.e. you've already redeemed the card onto it ? If you have then it should automatically be used (it's only when gifting that your credit card should be used), you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can see why it isn't : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't?

    Why can I sync some iTunes playlists to the iPod but some other ones don't? This is unusual - I wonder if the iPod is working correctly but some setting is wrong. Thanks

    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and check that your settings are "Sync Music - All songs and playlists" and not "Sync Music - Selected playlists"

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.
