Cant get itunes to open

Recommended Posts

Anybody know how to get itunes to open? Ive uninstalled and reinstalled using Revo uninstaller and it still will not open. It doesn't show up in the task manager when i try to open it either, it just gives me a half second of an hour glass and stops. It also does a "windows is configuring itunes" and then leaves two files in my recycling bin the first time i try to open itunes after a start up.

Are you installing the correct version for your Windows? (32-bit/64-bit)

 

Use this guide to completely uninstall iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

Over here to get the latest version of iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

 

Should work. :\

 

1. Make sure you're logged in as Adminstrator and/or have full permissions.

2. Your AV might be preventing iTunes from writing a registry value.

3. Try opening iTunes from the installation directory.

Simplicity is hard.

THE SOLUTION:

 

1.) go to start menu ?> run

2.) type ?regedit?

3.) press enter

4.) go to computer/hkey_classes_root/

5.) find pcast and right click it

6.) click permissions

7.) during the course of this you may get a message saying you cant change anything, but you can change who can change things. click ok on it.

8.) click advanced, then owner tab

9.) change the owner from administrator to whatever name you are using

10.) click ok twice to get out of the pop-ups completely

11.) right click pcast again

12.) click permissions

13.) click OWNER RIGHTS

14.) by full control and read click the allow boxes.

15.) click ok

Yeah im using the administrator account and installing the correct version as far as i know.

 

 

When i tried it before i uninstalled itunes using Revo uninstaller which deletes most traces and registry left overs, i even went through and did a search for anything itunes and deleted it. I then reinstalled and it still wouldn't work.

 

 

I will give that other one a try again.

On step 13 i don't see anything that says owner rights but every user has all the allow boxes checked except for creator owner and whenever i check them to allow and hit apply it acts like its not working because the check marks disappear.

 

 

Any ideas?
