iTunes will not start.

I have the same problem. I also cannot reinstall iTunes since the previous version cannot be removed. It also says that the data is corrupted. The files seem to be corrupted. What is supprising is that I used iTunes on the same day that I discovered the problem. And yes, I have the latest version of iTunes downloaded.

+I tried downloading it again and it gave me the option of repairing or rmoving so i chose repairing and it finished installing and started up. now it won't start again.+

Are you getting any sort of error message when you try to launch itunes? If so, what does it say?

Or are you getting no error messages whatsoever?

I'm having the EXACT same problem this is what my pop-up message says

"Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall Itunes"

please help because I dont want to have to re input all my songs

luv2rideharleys,

You mention two problems with your iPod:

First it isn't showing up in iTunes. Second, your iPod is not playing back music correctly.

Is this an iPod Shuffle? If so you may want to try the iPod Shuffle reset utility from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/

If it isn't a iPod Shuffle, try putting the iPod into Disk mode, and see if it is detected. If it is, you may need to restore the iPod.

Beyond, those suggestions, there are a few other suggestions, but narrowing down the issue a bit would help.

Does the "Charging" or "Do Not Disconnect" screen come up on the iPhone when connected?

Thank you,

Nathan C.

ebonychic,

Reinstalling iTunes does not touch your iTunes Library, your songs, and their information will still be in the iTunes library.

Hope this helps,
