Why will iTunes 11 only open as adminstrator?

iTunes 11 will not open, I haven't used it in a while but it just stopped working out of the blue. It shows up in task manager for a second when I try to open it but then it disappears. I am running windows 7 64bit. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a million times and nothing will work. I can get it to run if i right click and run as administrator but I fairly certain I didn't have to do this when I installed the new iTunes update, I'm not sure what changed.

Thank you for your help! After posting, I scrolled down a few pages of discussion and found the answer, but before I could delete question, you were so kind as to solve the problem..So thank you and to "Dave" also, who made the same suggestion..
have a wonderful day!

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

    How do I get iTunes to ONLY open in Mini Player? I don't want the entire iTunes interface opening when I double click on an Mp3 file.

  • Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

    Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared.  Is there anything available to fix this?

    I answered the same question in a similar post.  It's all to do with the wireless sync. 
    I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
    Open task manager
    Select the 'Processes' tab.
    Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
    Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  then click on 'end process'
    Hope this helps.

  • Why will iTunes 10.5.1 will not play TV Shows

    Last weeks as well as earlier TV Shows still play normally, yet the latest TV Show I purchased yesterday (Pan Am) will not play and I get a message stating: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. Why is this, it was the latest TV show released last week, purchased on iTunes and will not run on an iMac.
    What is the reason for this and how do I fix it?
    Thank you

    I have the same problem since update of itunes to version 10.5.1.
    Downloaded movies after the update couldn't be started in itunes.
    Only the same message "...requires QuickTime...." will be shown.
    The movies are new one (Transformer 3,....)
    Open itunes in 32-Bit mode, start movie, stop itunes and start itunes again in 64-Bit mode fix it.
    Then the movie shows its cover and can be started as usually - as it was bevor the itunes update.
    In my case, no hardware and software changes have been made during this time.
    Maybe, the Problem is in the first recognition of itunes in 64-Bit mode. All old movies run as usual.

  • Why will itunes not install on my macbook pro

    Why will I-tunes not work on my brand new macbook pro?

    Yes, it asks me to download 10.6.3 but when i click update it says.  The update “iTunes” can’t be installed.  The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.  I have updated all other updates and restarted the computer multiple times with no luck.

  • Why my itunes store cant open?

    but my network is ok and im connected bt why my itunes store cant be access?
    i try to uninstall and reinstall it again..still it hv the same problem

    Try the following:
    - Double click the Home button and close all apps in the recently-used dock. The power off and then back on the iPod.
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Firefox only opens as adminstrator

    I can only open firefox as an administrator and it has no issues that way that I can tell anyway. If I try to do it any other way it thinks briefly then nothing no crash report just does nothing. Lat time it did this the time and date was incorrect once I fixed that it was fine but not this time,

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • ITunes app ONLY opens to Store, cannot access library

    When I click on the iTunes application, it opens ONLY to the iTunes Store. For some reason, I cannot find the Library. Can anyone help??

    Thanks- I bought a refurb that didnt come with a manual. Maybe I am missing something, but the manual suggests that the option for playlists/ songs/ artists automatically comes up.
    The only way I can access my songs is by flicking left and searching for the name of the song/ artist, etc. There has to be an easier way. Am I missing something???
    BTW thanks for the quick repsonse

  • Why will itunes not allow me to download new software onto new laptop

    hi
    wjy will itunes not allow me to download the new software to my new laptop, ive put my desrired email address in but it wont download

    Greetings BevAnneS,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like it does not recognize that iTunes is installed. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Mario
