Why won't iTunes start on my Windows 7 laptop?

Just installed from the iTues web site, and it won't start. Anyone have ideas as to why?

1. try cleaning first: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. if that fails, check your install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
My question:
ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?! (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
ARGGGH!
** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
At the risk of repeating myself ... ARGGGH!

Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

Re: Why won't iTune 11 run on Windows 7 64-bit???

I've been trying to download iTunes to a new Windows 7 computer with no luck. Keep getting "Apple Application Support" not found.(Error2). Saw an earlier post saying installing iTunes would refresh Apple Application Support. Did so, and on fourth attempt got "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 127).
I really need to have iTunes on this new computer! Apple please help!!!

Why won't iTune 11 run on Windows 7 64-bit???

Starting 3 ior 4 weeks ago -ever since updating to iTunes 11, I have been unable to start iTunes. I have tried every suggestion in the support community posting (and a few that were not here) all to no avail. This involved many uninstalls (including components 1 at a time), reinstalling as a package and as individual components, updating, as well as uninstalling/reinstalling the .NET framework, and a number of other things. I did get access to iTunes for a short time by removing everything and installing V9.x.x, but this version would not allow me to access my wifes iPhone (she uses my iTunes - or did anyway.) Today I once again allowed an automatic update to 11, praying that it would work. Successful install, but will not run. I get the same Error 7 (windows 127) as before. The only difference is a different dll listed. I AM SICK OF THIS!!!
If anyone from Apple monitors these boards, could you please let me know when you are going to supply a good version of iTunes? You are about to lose not 1 customer, but four, including my wife and daughters, as well as iPhone users, as we will be switching to android phone at our next wireless renewal.

Many thanks again.
The procedure entry point FigSubtitleStringCreatePropertyList could not be located in the dynamic link library MediaToolbox.dll.
That's a less common one ... so we might be looking at incidental damage to an Apple Application Support program file rather than something specifically 11.1.4.62-related.
Restart the PC. Head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and click "Repair".
Does the repair install go through okay? If so, can you launch iTunes without the error?

Why won't iTunes 12 open on Windows 7?

I doubleclick on the icon from my desktop and it does nothing. I tried opening from the Start Menu, nothing. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, nothing. When I check the task manager, it doesn't even register that it is even trying to open. What gives?

Hi Dtraw,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not launching on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why won't itunes 11 open in windows 7 (32 bit)?

I just "upgraded" to itunes 11, and now itunes won't open. I tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling.
I have a netbook with an Atom 1.6G, 2G of memory running windows 7, 32bit.
I worked well before the "upgrade".

Someone else suggested uninstalling Quicktime. I did that, and it worked for my 64bit Windows 7. Good luck!

Why won't iTunes start?

I bought a PowerMac G5 and it came with OS X 10.5.8 pre-installed. I used that for a while till I got my hands on a retail Leopard disc. I wiped the HDD and did a clean install, and now iTunes won't start. It says there's not enough memory available, which is weird because all other applications start just fine. I wiped my Swap, verified and repaired disk permissions with the installer disc's Disk Utility, and have no clue what else to do. It can't be a RAM issue, I have 3GiB installed and it won't work when all else that's running is Finder.

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open iTunes.

Why won't iTunes install on my windows xp?

So, my iTunes notified me that I needed to update my iTunes to the latest version. So, I did what I had done a million times before, checked the little box that would install the latest version of iTunes once i clicked the"install 1 item button". After the installation should have been done, my computer said something like, " there was a problem with the installation. please uninstall then reinstall iTunes". I then uninstalled iTunes. Restarted my computer, and went to apple to reinstall iTunes. I ied dozens and dozens of times to install iTunes, and it refuses to install. Why?????????????????

Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Why won't iTunes download onto my windows 8 or even windows 8.1? I don't get any error messages, it just simply does absolutely nothing.

No error mmessages, no nothing. I simply get nothing. And I even downloaded the new windows 8.1 and even tried installing the latets super pack or whatever. WHen I hit download itunes, it goes to the Thanks for downloading itunes page, but nothing happens. It acts like it doesnt even try to open any files.... No apple files, nothing.... NOTHING HAPPENS. ***

For others with the same issue see the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.

Why will Firefox not start on my windows laptop but it says it is open in background

since last update, firefox will not start even after repeated attempts. It is apparently open as i cannot delete it from the laptop untill I restart laptop.
I am running Windows 7 and i run Thunderbird successfully on my machine. I am forced to use IE to get onto the internet.

Does Firefox not start in Safe Mode?
* Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
* In the search box, type firefox.exe -safe-mode and press Enter.
* If the little Firefox Safe Mode window pops up, click the Start in Safe Mode button.
* For more details, see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If Firefox doesn't start in Safe Mode, does the profile manager start? If yes, create a new profile and try starting Firefox in that profile.
[[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

I was on the same boat, bud! I saw you had the exact same problem as I did and decided to come back to help you out. On another apple discussion page, a user--Charlicharli-- posted a link to download and everything seems to be fine now. Apparently we had to check with Lenovo. We were looking in all the wrong places for the fix!

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

Why won't iTunes store save my credit card code?

I have to re-enter my credit card code each time I make a purchase through the iTunes store on my laptop (PC) running Windows XP. Why won't iTunes save it?

Is it actually prompting you for a credit card, or just asking you to verify billing details? Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of billing information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none", if it's not already, which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. It may still ask - mine did for a while - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems.
By all means, though, if you prefer eMusic, use that service.
Regards.

Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach to apps

Why won't iTunes Store adopt the Google approach of no questions asked refunds within 15 mins if you aren't happy with an app? I have countless apps that I have lost money purchasing because after installation they don't do what I want.
ITunes ripping the public off, one app at a time!

It either A) shows me a white screen where the store should be, B) shows me the white screen with iTunes Store written in the middle or C) actually shows me the store, but as though it can't read all the sophisticated coding and wants to convert it into just plain ol' HTML.
With those symptoms, I'd check through the following document:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(I've seen C reported before with the Bigfoot Networks variation of this sort of business.)
