itunes v10.5.2 will not re-open after using it and closing it once on my Windows XP computer.

you can use task manager to terminated the program (.exe extention)

I am having the same problem on Vista Home Premium.

iTunes will open when I start up the PC but if I close it then nothing happens if I try to reload it.

I am not using Task Manager to close it.

Any ideas anyone?

I am having the same problem. The program itself seems to be closed (it is not listed in the task manager as an open process or application) however there is an itunes icon in the taskbar. When right clicking on this icon nothing happens, ie I don't get an option to close. The only solution is to log out of my profile and log back in. Seems to be a bug with this version of iTunes. Anyone else having the same trouble? I am running Windows XP on a fairly new computer and have had no problems until downloading and installing v.10.5.2.

I had the same problem even after re-installing. However after Googling similar problems I downloaded REVO Uninstaller (free 30 Days Trial) and completely uninstalled iTunes and all other Apple software. I then cleaned the registry with free CCleaner. A reinstall if iTunes seems to have resolved the problem.

Thank you very much, it is working (at least for now) 😀

I have the exact problem. I am using Window 7(64bit), and after a re-star, itunes will open, but as soon as I enter my password, or try to do anything except play my music, it freezes up, and I have to close using task manager. Ater several uninstalls and reinstalls, I tried creating a new user for windows, and that worked for the purchase of 1 song, then it froze up again. HELP!

I am having the same problem for Vista Home Premium.

iTunes will open when I start up my PC but if I close it then nothing happens if I try to reload it.

it keeps telling me to go to Apple and download the new itunes, but when i do....I keep getting the same error.

Any ideas anyone, it's frustrating.

Have you tried the following option also?:

- Close the frozen itunes using task manager

- In task manager go to the 'process' tab

- Find and select 'APSDaemon.exe'

- Click 'end process' then close the task manager

- Re-open iTunes.

Your fix works but this has to be done each time to close out itunes completely. I am looking for a permanent solution to an obvioius software glich with itunes latest update. Thanks for your input though.

I followed the steps above by "fenugreek", cc cleaner didn't help much as they want you to pay), and then I installed the earlier versions of Itunes.(found at oldapps.com) It works fine so far, but I had a 12.00 gift card balance that I am not able to find yet.

I assure you that CCleaner is 100% free to use software...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. It was free to use, but ater the scan it would not clean all of the problems it found in the registry, unless I upgarded and paid.

Your suggestions were very much appreciated, and were the only thing , after days of trying that helped me. Thank you!

I've used CCleaner for many years now and it's never asked me to upgrade or pay; I just did a registry check a few days ago and it fixed all of them no worries. :/ I don't know if it asked me to upgrade or anything (I know there are version of CCleaner which are paid software) because I just let it 'Fix All Selected Issues' which it did with no problem.
