Why doesn't Windows allow iTunes to open anymore?

Since I downloaded the new operating system iOS 6 to my iPod, my Windows XP refuses to open iTunes.
It says: To help Protect you computer, Windows has closed this program.
And when I close this message, another pops out: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If I click on the "For more information about this error, click here." it shows:
EventType : BEX
P1 : iTunes.exe
P2 : 10.7.0.21
P3 : 504d85d9
P4 : unknown
P5 : 0.0.0.0
P6 : 00000000
P7 : 06921040
P8 : c0000005
P9 : 00000008

Is that a Data Execution Prevention (DEP) message?
If so, try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

Why doesn't Firefox allow me to open a link from an email. I'm sure it used to.

An email from superbreak comes in with two links in blue to their offers. Clicking on them has no effect. This is an example; other received emails exhibit the same problem. Is it the latest Firefox version? Very frustrating.

It works now but I had to set Preferences from IE.

Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC?

Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC? I can download the 64-bit installer from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427
But after I run the installer, I get an error message stating that the installer is for 32 bit machines and that I should download and install the 64 bit installer instead. (Been there, done that, using two different browsers for the download.) Why would I get such a message when my PC is 64 bit O/S and the iTunes installer purports to be for that type of PC?
Please help,
-Bruce

When you get on the download page scroll down on the left hand side there is 64bit version. I installed it. But the thing I can't work out is in task manger says 32bit

Why doesn't Personal.xlsb start when opening a different SS

I have my personal.xlsb installed in the following folder;
C:\Users\Toni Chaffin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
Why when I open a already completed WorkBook, say stats.xlsm why doesn't my personal workbook open so I can run macros that I have saved in there
Thanks
Toni Chaffin aka Talisa

I am experiencing the same exact issue. Running Office 2010 and whenever I open an xlsm file by double clicking on it in Windows Explorer, it opens in Excel but the macros do not open. If I open the VBA editor, only the current document is shown in there
and not the macros.
Opening Excel first and then dragging the spreadsheet file from Windows Explorer into Excel does work, and while the answers here are workarounds, they are far from solutions and are a very cumbersome workaround when dealing with multiple files.
Can anyone help with a proper solution to the issue? I've tried adding my XLSTART folder to the "At startup, open all files in:" setting in the Advanced options menu, and that has done nothing.
Thanks,
Mike

I can't get itunes to load on the computer at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing! Why can't I get itunes to open??

I can't get itunes to open from my desktop. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Why isn't itunes working??

On my PC I had a problem where the iTunes store would only display a blank white page, I managed to display my account settings, but nothing for music, etc
I treid this and it has immediately sorted it out...
start>programs>accessories> right click on Command Prompt and run as Administrator
then simply enter 'netsh winsock reset' and return
after restarting the PC and loading up iTunes the store was there fine ;-)
I posted this on some other threads and it has been successful for the other people that have tried it

Big Library wont allow itunes to open?

I have a huge library ( 62000 songs) and since the last update my itunes simply doesn`t open anymore. It keeps checking itunes library and then just crashes. HELP PLEASE!

That sounds more like your Library file (either the iTunes Library.itl or the iTunes Music Library.xml) has become corrupted.
You may have to bite the bullet and dump these files, which means re-importing everything.
Before trashing them and emptying the trash, I'd recommend copying them to a flash drive and THEN dumping the Library files.
If you can open iTunes and re-import everything, great. If not, put the original files back, and hopefully someone else will have more insight.

When is a reset not a reset? And why won't Windows or Itunes see my Ipod???

I'm having problems with my brand new 5G 60GB Ipod, lovely little beast it is. For th first few days all has been perfect with the exception of album artwork not transferring from Itunes to the Ipod, I've done this manually, what a chore but the results are worth it with 4000 songs.
Now Windows can't see the Ipod, nor can Itunes This seems to be happening since I ran the inbuilt Ipod diagnostics, a good idea according to a forum I read...AND when ejecting the Ipod using the Windows system tray thingy, it can take 5 minutes, and even then after physically disconnecting the Ipod, it is frozen on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, and needs resetting. hence my Thread topic:
I noticed that following the typical reset instruction, if you take your fingers off the buttons as described, then it appears to do a "soft" reset, as soon as the Apple Ico appears. BUT...if you keep holding down the buttons for say another 5 or so seconds it appears to do a "Hard" reset, the screen goes totally blank and you can feel the hard drive immediately spin down. Then it reboots normally. Just for curiosity, and seeing this probably has nothing to do with my Ipod's problem above, and I can't seem to find anything on this anomoly, I was wondering what it all means.
A bit analous to the difference between restarting your PC, and holding down the power button till it does a hard reset, I guess.
Any comment or assistance on my problem will me much appreciated. I don't want to lose 4 days and 4000 songs if I don't have to!

Can't see your iPod in iTunes or Windows Explorer? Remember these five basic suggestions when you run into a problem with your iPod. If one of the following doesn’t help, read on for solutions to specific problems. If Windows sees the iPod but iTunes 7 does not, then see this article first (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304434).
Tip: Check Device Manager first (right-click on My Computer, choose Manage, and then select Device Manager). If no devices appear in the Windows Device Manager, go here (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302898)
Before starting, make sure your iPod is fully charged and then toggle the Hold switch on and off.
Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall , Restore
Go here (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/) to go through the 5 R's of iPod troubleshooting. If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps, then continue on for more suggestions.
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or Windows Explorer. The most likely causes are listed below—you'll find information for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
our computer doesn't meet iPod system requirements
Make sure that your computer meets the system requirements to use iPod for Windows.
Your iPod displays an exclamation point folder or sad iPod icon, or doesn't appear in iTunes or My Computer
If your iPod displays a folder with an exclamation point icon or a sad (unhappy) iPod icon on its screen, or if your iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or My Computer, follow these instructions to resolve the issue. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61771)
Your iPod isn't formatted for Windows
iPod for Windows Software only recognizes iPod for Windows. You cannot use iPod for Macintosh with a Windows PC. To see which platform your iPod is formatted for, follow these instructions. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61672)
Your iPod isn't connected to a high-power USB port
If you're connecting an iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle to your Windows computer, make sure that you're connecting it to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer (not a low-power one such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-powered USB hub).
Typically, USB 2.0 high-power ports are located directly on your computer. Try connecting your iPod to another USB port on the computer (or to a self-powered USB 2.0 hub that's connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer) if the computer still doesn't recognize your iPod. Alternatively, if your computer has a FireWire connection, try using that instead.
If you're connecting an iPod, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPod.
and the answer to yoru question about a hard and soft reset....
a hard reset is for when your ipod is totally locked up and a soft reset wont work for it. just like if your computer is completely frozen you cant do ctrlaltdel to close all programs and stop messing up your computer...you have to restart the computer by pushing the power button down for like 10 sec. that is the only difference all does the same thing just when a soft reset wont work and your ipod is completely locked up you do a hard reset. good luck hope that helps ya out

Why won't any of my apps open anymore?

I was having the same problem and this fixed it. Thanks!

The iTunes window doesn't appear, though iTunes is open.

When I open iTunes, its window doesn't appear, but it plays audio files that I open from the Finder. The only iTunes window that I can make appear is the mini player (the control strip that contains only the playback controls), which appears when you select Zoom in the Window menu.
I was using v.7.0.2 of iTunes when this problem started. Upgrading to v.7.2 didn't fix the problem. Neither did restarting my Mac.
This problem began after I downloaded and played an audio file whose extension was "mpg" or "mpg4" (if I remember correctly).
iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

My question was answered by someone who suggested trying a solution, but that solution didn't fix the problem. To avoid deterring would-be solvers from writing to me, I'd rather not label my question "Answered."

Why doesn't Mail allow a Junk IMAP message to be marked as "Not Junk"?

I don't understand the behavior of Mail (Lion) when it comes to junk mail from IMAP accounts. Mail has marked an email from an IMAP account as junk (judging by the brown text color) and has moved it to the Junk mailbox. For some reason, though, Mail doesn't provide the usual function to mark it as "Not Junk".
Mail does allow marking the message as Junk, which suggests that Mail actually didn't mark it as Junk properly in the first place. Fortunately, this also provides a workaround. When I mark the message as Junk, it gets flagged with the brown paper bag symbol. After that I can mark the message as Not Junk, which removes both the bag symbol AND the brown text color.
Still, I would rather see Mail behave differently. Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior or tips to alter it?
Regards,
-Eric

Soooo, Apple, why don't your crackerjack programmers make it possible to have multiple message windows open at one time in Mail???!
It's always been available for as long as I can remember.
