Itunes will not launch issue
Given that Microsteal and Applesteal have both issued updates in the recent past since I last attached my ipad air to my pc, I am not sure who to blame. Probably both, equally.
Anyway, my Itunes would not launch.
For what it is worth to others, I went to the Applesteal website, where they have a variety of possible solutions to what appears to be a common problem.
There is the usual stuff about scanning for viruses.
There is an option to open itunes in safe mode. Didn't work for me.
There is also an option to dive in to C:appdata and delete all sidb and sidd files. (Detail on apple website) My machine had 5 of those. One by one I deleted them.
After all had been deleted, itunes now works.
Hope this might help someone.
