iTunes fubar?

Once more I come to the one place I know I can get an answer to a burning question without having to pay someone outrageous fees for a free program.

So about a month ago (maybe a little longer?) I started having issues with iTunes. Suddenly I was unable to open the iTunes store. The rest of the program works fine: I can sync, update apps, manage music and playlists, etc. For some reason though, whenever I click the store button the whole she the other bang crashes. All I know is that I have two versions of Bonjour running, one is x86 the other is x64. ANyone have any ideas?

Have tried to do a un-install and remove all iTunes files and anything else related to it and then to a clean install

I think I did. I'm on a new(ish) computer that's about a month old, and I can't remember if I had the problem the whole time or not. I'll have to reinstall it tomorrow and find out.

Should I go ahead and get rid of everything Apple related? I don't know what programs run using Bonjour...

The difference between the x86 and x64 or amd64 versions is that the x86 is intended for 32-bit operating systems, while the x64/amd64 is intended for 64-bit systems.

You can run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system but not vice-versa.

Since you can run the program et all, I kinda doubt that switching from one version to another would have any effect.

I don't know the details of iTunes having (intentionally) kept well abreast of the Apple's mono-culture and only willing to prod it with a 10 foot pole, but chances are Apple's tech support should be able to help you since that's one of their features that's actually arguably GOOD.

I hope so because I just uninstalled iTunes and Bonjour and reinstalled iTunes and no dice. Same issue, so wish me luck.

Hnnngrk!!

Well, Apple support has failed me. They say that my issue is with my registry because I can access the iTunes store in one PC account and not another. Can anyone recommend a registry cleaner or solution to this?

You can use CCleaner, its what i use.

there is a free version and then a paid pro version

Already tried it, no luck.

you try and go through your registry manually and delete all iTunes related registry,

are you windows and is so have you tried to do windows restore to a date when it was working

Yeah....
Apparantly all I had to do was log out of my account. I didn't really think about it until I noticed that my library and stuff was still there after re-installing iTunes. So yeah. Case closed I guess.

Sooo, yeaaaahhhhhh... I'm trying not to hulk out and chuck my laptop through the window. I try and open iTunes, and once again the thing craps out on me. iTunes Fubar is still open for business. Any new ideas?

Edit:


Yeah. So I ran CCleaner and had it check my registry and then ran iTunes as an Admin, and it works. If the above gif is not illustrative enough, then I don't know what to say.

have you tried system restore and going back to a point when it worked

Did you run ccleaner while itunes was installed if so un-install itunes and any other apple/itunes software.

search computer for all apple/itunes related folders, file etc and delete them.

run ccleaner

Log out of any other computer that you are signed in on itunes.

reset computer and install itunes.

option 2.

go to your local apple store and speak to one their staff

and if none of this work try google or re-install windows
