New member Username: Rubens63Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-07 | I don't think it's a virus because I was just using the previous version without a problem until I decided to upgrade it. Now I'm getting this annoying message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and nobody from Apple Support is able to help me with the problem. Very frustrating. |

Platinum Member Username: Project6Post Number: 14079 Registered: Dec-03 | Not if you have them backed up to a separate drive. iTunes is only a program and re-installing it should not affect your music files. But to be safe, first locate all your music files and back them up to a disc or a removable hard drive. |

New member Username: BuckieneersScotland Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-08 | Couldn`t open itunes for over 2 months same message then solved it in two minutes. Delete all references on computer for Apple, itunes, i pod, quick time and real player. Switch off restart then reinstall as follows, real player first, then quicktime from apple on its own then i tunes. Whistling dixie in no time. Appears conflict may be between real player and quicktime both from apple. |

New member Username: LizziebathoryPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-10 | I had this same problem and finally fixed it. And it was so simple. Try doing a system restore on your computer to an earlier date when you knew iTunes was working fine. Worked without a hitch for me. If you do the restore and it tells you it wasn't able to restore your computer to that date, try restoring it to a date closer to the present date. Hope this works for the rest of you. |

New member Username: GopherashPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-10 | i've had similar problems lately, for some reason having come back to itunes today after a few months it no longer worked. After following Nemas solution that also didnt work but an adaptation of nemas and william davidsons did. Follow Nemas instructions but as microsoft has taken down the utility mentioned there just delete everything related to itunes, apple AND quicktime from your computer using the add remove programs utility, and also by searching for "apple", "itunes" and "quicktime" in the search tool. The link to reg crawler no longer works so here is a new one http://www.brothersoft.com/registry-crawler-5441.html with registry crawler follow nema's steps but include quicktime in your search. get rid of all quicktime references in addition to apple ones and itunes ones Then using william davidson's suggestion install quicktime on its own first, followed by the latest itunes install. i found realplayer wasn't necessary unless you require it, in which case install that before anything else. After hours of fannying around i wept with delight when i saw the itunes terms of service screen come up. job done. thanks to all whose suggestions helped me sort this |
