Will not open itunes on windows 7 - disk locked

I can install and uninstall itunes fine, but I can never open it due to an apparently locked disk.
I had it installed on my D drive and it was working fine, until it stopped opening one day. I recently tried installing it on my C drive, and it didn't open either. I don't know what could have caused this, except that I joined a Homegroup just before it stopped working.
Could this have anything to do with the problem? And what would be the best thing to do?

i have the same problem. i have been downloading my cd library and some songs from my purchases at the itunes store and both will not play. the diamond does not move. also, my speakers are not working nor is windows media player when i try to play movie files. not sure if they are related. anyone find any answers?

Published iMix will not open iTunes in Windows Vista

Hello,
I have an issue wherein when I click an iMix link to get to an iMix that someone has published on their website, the link does not open my iTunes store, as it does on another pc running Windows XP. Instead, with Vista, it brings up a window that says "do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it." Neither choice gives me any resolution.
I'm sure it is a security setting somewhere in Vista, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Tara

Itunes will not open in my windows 8 laptop

Itunes will not open on my windows 8 computer..can someone please help?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open. I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck. I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it. Can someone help?

Over time I've come across a number of posts concerning iTunes for Windows not opening. One conclusion from other Windows users that you might want to check out has been that it could be the result of malware on your PC. The advice has been to try scanning for malware with ewido, you'll find a free download at this link: ewido Anti-Malware

Mac wont play videos on safari and will not open itunes

imac will not open itunes or run videos on safari.

Hello,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open iTunes.
Are these Flash Videoes?
Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure. If Safari 5.1.7 or Leopard Security Update 2012-003 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player.
Additional Information
If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
    1.    Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
    2.    Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
    3.    If the browser is running, quit and restart it.

Updated to iTunes 11 now it will not open or uninstall- Windows 8 64bit

Updated to iTunes 11 using the "check for updates" tab on iTunes. I installed and realized it will not open. Turns out it installed the 32bit version (I did not have any option to choose between 32bit and 64bit). Nothing was going right so I attemped to unistall it using the controll panel and going to unistall programs. It in a way uninstalled, there is no iTunes folder on my hard drive or anything so I am guessing it did uninstall? Anyways, I attemted to download and install iTunes 11 (The actually 64bit) again but here is what happens: It will download everything but it will not open to install. Help?

Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

Firefox will not open iTunes or open the correct link in iTunes

When I click on an iTunes link, sometimes iTunes will not open at all. I just get the "install iTunes" box. When it does open iTunes, it does not open the item linked.

Saved .mov file will not open on a Windows 7 version of Quicktime or WMplayer or Nero why not?

I made two .mov files one will open on a PC the other will not Quicktime will opew the first file, but not the second, Windows Media Player will not open either file, neither will Nero or Creative Media Player. How can I save a video file from iMovie to something that will opew on a PC?

Is this related to iOS (iPads and iPhones)?
This is the iMovie iOS forum, so if you're in the wrong place I can get this question moved.
In iMovie iOS there is only one way to export video, and that is Quicktime H264.
You will need the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

Bookmarked PDF's will not open in browser window

I just got the latest FF 3.6.6 and installed Nitro from Adobe so that I could open PDF's in the browser. Before upgrading, I could bookmark a PDF and it would still open it in the window. Now it wants to save it. How do I fix this? I bookmark a lot of PDF's because I don't want to save them on my computer, and I use them over and over for my writing.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6 and got Nitro add on

1. Nitro is NOT an Adobe product.
2. It is an alternative to Adobe Acrobat.
3.It currently does not have the ability to display in a browser tab; see 3rd item below.
Company's web site: http://www.nitroreader.com/
User forum (click "Help" at the top of the Company's web site): http://community.nitropdf.com/nitropdf?from_gsfn=true
User forum thread; no in-browser display: http://community.nitropdf.com/nitropdf/topics/launching_pdfs_in_the_browser_window
You should be able to open PDF files from the internet directly in a separate Nitro window (not a tab in Firefox) if you change your settings on the Application panel (Tools > Options > Applications for "...PDF Document" content type(s). Read the following 2 articles carefully:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+file+types
http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
The PDF file will NOT open within Firefox because no browser plugin is provided by the company, but instead will open the Nitro program in a separate window and display the PDF there.
Somewhat general instructions; I do not have Nitro, so I am guessing at some names and locations on your hard drive and what you will see on the Applications panel. In the Applications panel, use the pull down arrow (see step 4 in the above article, Managing File Types), click "Use Other".
-If Nitro IS on the pop-up list, click on Nitro, click OK.
-If Nitro is NOT on the pop-up list, click Browse, go to your installation folder for Nitro (probably on C: drive in your Programs folder), open the Nitro folder, double-click on the executable that will open the Nitro program; nitro.exe/nitroreader.exe (whatever the file is named; you might want to find and open the Nitro program before you begin the process to know the exact executable file name to double-click).

Pdf links will not open in ie8 windows 7

I have installed, uninstalled Adobe Reader 10 and Internet Explorer. I have tried all the solutions listed in some other posts. PDF links will not open the files on some web sites, Fidelity.com in particular. I have reset IE8 Advanced Options and Advanced Options Reset, Created another Windows Administrative user, performed clean boot in Windows and run IE8 (no addons) from the accessory menu and unchecked the Display PDF in Browser box in preferences. None of these options have resulted in correcting the problem. Adobe Reader 10 works fine on the Fidelity web site in Firefox.

Editor in elements 8 will not open. using windows 7 home premium. can this be fixed

editor in elements 8 will not open. computer has windows 7 home premium. steve

You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.
