I JUST DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF WINDOWS 7 FROM 32BIT TO 64BIT WINDOWS
AND I AM UN ABLE TO START ITUNES
I CHECK USER/MUSIC/ITUNES
THE FOLDER WAS COMPLETE EMPTY
TRIED "SHIFT + CTRL" AND ONLY "SHIFT" METHOD TOO BUT NO ITUNES.itl FILE IS CREATED IN USER/MUSIC/iTunes OR ANYWHERE
NOTHING IS HAPPENING .....
ITUNES 12.3.1.23 64 BIT
PC-AMD DUAL CORE.4GB RAM,GT 730 GRAPHIC CARD,WINDOWS 7 64BIT
A clean install of Windows removes all user data stored on the system drive. Did you back up your data before you started? What is the error message when you try to start iTunes?

i didn't backup any data before installing, i am on admn. no other user exicts,
error is the folder contains "iTunes Library" cannot be found and is required please choose or create a new iTunes Library
when i press shift n start itunes then choose to create library its created a "iTunes1" folder instead of iTunes Library.itl
Close iTunes. Delete the empty iTunes folder, rename iTunes 1 as iTunes start iTunes and connect to the .itl file in the renamed folder. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device (or purchase history).

i cannot even start itunes,how do i close it?
n their is no file(just empty) in created iTunes 1 after or before renaming it to "iTunes"
After this no itunes startup or not even any error
I thought you said it had created an iTunes 1 folder. That would suggest it had successfully opened. Reboot. Try Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows on the original iTunes folder that is inside C:\Users\<User>\Music. See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. A full tear down and rebuild of iTunes might be required.

i have tried repairing security permissions for itunes.exe n that folder too which is user/music/iTunes gave full control n premissons
but still somehow its just creating a empty "iTunes" folder not itunes library.itl or other files
Try shift-starting-iTunes and creating your new library at the root of a drive, e.g. as C:\iTunes or D:\iTunes.
tt2
again a empty 'iTunes' folder is created
Try a new Windows user account that has administrator rights.
Try completely removing iTunes and all Apple components, then reinstall.

have done this method but still no luck!
also i have team viewer can you help from over their?
i have another pc with win7 64bit,can i use some file from their n start here?
Will iTunes install properly on this other computer? If it does I'd be tempted to use that. Perhaps your first computer needs a do over. Did you reformat the system drive as part of the clean install? I don't think there is going to be any merit in copying random files from a working system over to one that is broken.
tt2
yesl iTunes installed properly on this other computer and yes i reformat the system drive as part of the clean install
yup i copied the music/itunes files thru pen drive n paste it in my pc, n selected the itunes library.itl but it doesn'y boot my pc...
I suspect something is seriously broken on the first system. Whether it is iTunes, Windows, or a bit of both is anybody's guess, but I've not seen those symptoms before.
tt2
TRUE ....
I have team veiwer,can u check my pc?
NEED HELP! ITUNES LIBRARY MISSING
