itunes is not opening

Now when I double click the icon, the hour glass appears but nothing happens, the program does not open.

Can you check something for me please?

Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.

Now try to launch iTunes.

Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

Hi b noir ... I'm getting the same thing ... when I click on the itunes, the itunes.exe process appears and vanishes after a second.

I have windows 7, have tried uninstalling, reinstalling.

Having started up windows and opened itunes, the itunes.exe appears in my task manager for approximately 8 seconds and then disappears.

🙂 Many thanks.

If you're getting an error-message-free iTunes launch error, and the iTunes.exe is making a brief-if-any appearance in Task manager, we'd better check for a QuickTime problem.

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does iTunes start launching again?

🙂 You're welcome. Glad you got things sorted out.

I am having a similar issue, but itunes.exe doesn;t vanish.

I updated to the latest QuickTime when i updated to iTunes 11, so what do I do?

I solved my problem, i just had to repair my QuickTime. Thanks!
