iTunes will not open because windows 10 updated

Since I updated to windows 10 I can't open iTunes. When I connect iphone to the computer iTunes doesn't open automatically as it has previously.

First try Fix unexpectedly closes or launch issues in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support .

For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

Make sure after you have uninstalled all the components Apple to remove iTunes shortcuts from the desktop, taskbar, or start menu before you reinstall.

Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Outlook will not open with the new update

    I recently installed the new service pack for office 2007 and now Outlook will not open.

    any suggestion?

    JS

    Hi Jseiver,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    First of all, it would be ideal to determine exactly what is the error, or if an error occurs when you try to open OUTLOOK.  You can use reliability monitor to examine this information, and that you post in the forum.  To view reliability monitor, click Start ORB / right-click on computer - select Manage / Analyzer performance and reliability-click / Select reliability monitor.

    In the monitor of reliability to the bottom of the window, it will show the system stability report.  Look under five failure reports to find all the information about this conflict and report that information in the forum.

    You can uninstall the update-

    To uninstall a patch on Vista, go to control panel and click programs and features. In the left pane, click on view installed updates. All your updates of the program, but also updates Microsoft appears here. You can click on the latest patch to remove it from your computer. »

    Or given that this problem has occurred recently, you can always restore your system to a previous restore point.  Don't forget not all downloads changes or data occurred after the restore point has been taken up will be lost.

    Here is information on restoring your system to an earlier date of restoration:

  • ITunes will not launch in Windows XP

    ITunes does not open.  Uninstalled and reinstalled several times and still does not.  Using Windows Security Essentials on Windows XP, use is not Windows 7.  Has gone through all the steps to the Apple Support and uninstalled all the programs of suporting.  Help, please!

    Hi MSNtm,
     
    -You receive an error message trying to launch the Itunes application?
     

    I recommend you to temporarily disable the security software and check if that helps you.

    Temporarily disable the anti-virus software and disable the firewall and see if the problem still occurs.

    If the problem is resolved, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the program for the settings that can be changed or if there are other updates for this program.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Have a computer without any security software can cause a potential danger to your computer. The firewall can keep the computer worm, pirates, etc.. So, be sure to activate security/firewall software once you are finished with the test.

    After that, check if you can run the application successfully.

  • iTunes will not install in Windows 7

    iTunes goes without installation under Windows 7

    Dear Marilyn:

    Apple article you mention has not worked for me.  What works was initially open an additional account on my Windows 7 computer, different from the single user account (with administrator privileges).  Also the new account has administrator rights and iTunes + QuickTime installed smoothly.

    Reasoning that Windows 7 was installed an update on Windows Vista, which in turn has also installed an upgrade on Windows XP, it was decided that the original user account and possibly Windows 7 have been somewhat corrupted, a new installation was completed and new iTunes + QuickTime installed smoothly, which confirmed my suspicions.

    This clean reinstall was pretty easy for me because my documents and data are stored on a separate hard drive and Windows 7 and MS Office 2007 as well as a few other programs were to be installed again.  This policy of mine dating back a dozen years ago saved my data in last May when Norton Antivirus could not stop a virus that filled the unwanted operations (C:\) disc, making it unusable, but could not touch disk D:\ and E:\ where I keep the documents and the videos of music/respectively.  I now use Kaspersky Antivirus, which stopped a malware that Norton had missed and contaminated by the new C:\ drive I had to buy and install.

    Thanks for your concern,

    Manfor

  • Starting today, iTunes will not open.

    12.5.1 iTunes won't open on ElCapitan dated 16/09/16.   Cannot use same function to get control of the computer.   I get the rotation beach ball and the computer just hangs.  I need to use the button to stop the computer from starting.

    I tried to start the computer in safe mode and that's the problem even in safe mode.

    I also tried to use the disk utility and indicated no problems with the disk.

    Hi JeffinAptos,

    Looks like your iTunes app becomes unresponsive and make your Mac does not respond as well. You can try to update your OS X by installing the update found here combo. Update of OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Combo

    If the problem is persistent after update to OS X, it's the iTunes app to relocate by downloading a new copy at this link. Download iTunes

    I am sure that these procedures will have your iTunes app run correctly without delay.
    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Have a wonderful day.
