ITunes refuses to open HELP

my problems started when i downloaded the new itunes 6.0.2, i downloaded the program and upon installing something fishy with an error message came up, and after that whenever i went to open itunes it would have an error message saying something like "itunes is missing files required to run", and after uninstalling a quicktime error message would come up sying quicktime wasnt properly working and wouldnt open, afte troubles, but finally success, uninstalling quicktime and itunes, i downloaded itunes 6.0.1 and quicktinme works fine, but itunes will show the loading sandcursor for a split second then just stop
this is where ive hit my dead end of ideas and patience
PLEASE HELP ME!

but itunes will show the loading sandcursor for a split second then just stop
can you check something for me quinn? reboot the PC, open your Task Manager to the Processes tab, and try to launch itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so does it persist in there, or does it disappear after a few seconds?
(this will give us a heads up on which possibilities we should be checking up on first.)
keep us posted.
love, b

Pleasse Help Me! iTunes refuse to open

Hi,
I downloaded the new version of iTunes and installed it and it refused to open (an error message).
So I uninstalled everything and installed again the older version with the installation CD and still, I can't open iTunes.
What can I do? I can't load songs to my ipod now...
The error is like this:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 4.7.1.30 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000b77d
Does anyone can help?
Thanks

Hi assafhar and Saganic0
1 Try delete c:\program files\iTunes (all);
2 Try install older version of iTunes;
3 desinstall it;
4 format your ipod (in my computer)
5 install again.
good luck, its a strange problem, maybe you have bad info in your iPod, and you have a conflit...

ITunes Refuses to Open. No Joke.

I have spent a month following every possible suggestion given, and nothing seems to work. My problem started when I downloaded the updated version of iTunes...Ever since then, it refuses to open. Can someone please help me before I throw my laptop into the river? (I'm training for a marathon and I really need new music)

I, too, am experiencing the same problem. Nothing helps. I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Bounjour, etc. 3-4 times. I've de-activated my anti-virus/spyware software (not Norton). I've done selective start-up (turning off most services/start up software). I've started up as a different user.
I was on the phone with Apple for 2+ hours uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting specific configuration files.
Nothing has helped.
I start up iTunes, and when I look in Task Manager, iTunes.exe is running,first using some CPU, then, after about 10 seconds, using no CPU, and iTunes does not launch.
Has anyone found a solution yet?

My iTunes won't open help please! what should I do?

My iTunes won't open, when I try to open it, it says:
"The file 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
What can I do about this? please help me.

Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
thank you kindly.
another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

Downloaded itunes 7.5 on Tiger, iTunes REFUSES to open

I currently have OSX Tiger for my MacBook Pro. I upgraded my iTunes music library to v7.5 recently, but since I've done that, my iTunes has refused to open. A window pops up telling me I have to download the new OSX Leopard! What? So I went to HD>Library>Reciepts, and deleted itunesX.pkg, thinking the recent update would eliminate itself. Well, nothings happened. Plain, and simple, I would like my music library back without having to pay for Leopard. What's the deal?

You first have to update your OS X 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 or better, then click on this latest info link from Apple, plus the additional link "Recreate" that is posted within this document.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
Make sure you have QuickTime 7.3 installed ..... but NO hackies or Shape Shifter.
Stay iTuned!

ITunes refuses to open for at least 5 minutes.

Okay so the other day i started having frustrating problems with my iTunes. I've had this computer for around 3 months now and there hasn't been a single problem related to iTunes, i double click the launch icon on the desktop and it opens within seconds. Which is what is supposed to happen...
Then suddenly it started being slow, i'd double click it, the rotating 'loading circle' would pop up for a brief amount of time and then stop, iTunes wouldn't open but the processes would show as being active. I did everything in the book to try and sort it out, tried a different user account, used the system restore function, re-installed iTunes, QuickTime, even Bonjour... still with no luck. Having an iPhone 3GS i require iTunes to transfer music and the like and it's become frustrating that i'm unable to do anything iTunes related with it. I decided to do a complete format which wiped everything from my computer - it's basically a new computer... which in turn means i've lost everything, my music, videos and pictures... which i'm not overly bothered about as they're replaceable with time.
I configured my 'new' computer, downloaded iTunes and YET AGAIN, the same thing happend. I then tried downloading an earlier version once again (9.2.1) and installed it, same problem. Completely baffled as to what the problem is as technically it's a brand new machine and should therefore have no problems with opening iTunes, and i know it's not just the program or my computers speed due to it working flawlessly previously.
Any helps appreciated, this is seriously annoying me now.

Right click on the installer and Run as Administrator.

Itunes refuses to open on my imac

itunes won't open on my mac. it has worked fine for years. Ive updated software, restarted, etc.

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

Itunes refuses to open for past month. Freezes up my computer. Help?

itunes has not worked at all for a month. 64-bit. The problem is system wide. As long as i am not trying to open itunes, my computer works perfectly. Help please.

Can you elaborate? I am not aware of any m3u playlist being present but maybe there is. I have done this many times before. I move tons of files around in my music folder, add/delete/change, and rather than have iTunes try to figure it all out again, I just remove everything out of iTunes and add my entire folder back. I've done it probably 50 times in the past and now, when I do it, it's creating playlists for every single folder or album or something, just as the original poster has described. I do not like the behavior and would like to turn it off now! I'm on Mac so iTunes Folder Watch will not work for me. Any suggestions?

Itunes refuses to open "quits unexpectedly"

Hey there-
So ive been trying to open up itunes the last few days and it refuses. It always says that the application quit unexpectedly. when i plug in my ipod it says the same thing "itunes quit unexpectedly" it doesnt even open up...
I need help and fast!
Thanks

Some troubleshooting basics:
Ensure that you have the latest version of the OS and Quicktime and the iTunes.
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Itunes no longer opens, help!

hi, i've had my ipod for about 2 months. when i first installed itunes, i had the problem where the terms of use would flash across the screen and never finish installing. i downloaded ewido (with suggestions from this forum) and managed to get my itunes up and running. everything was working fine, until a few weeks ago, when itunes all the sudden stopped opening altogether. now when i double-click on it to open, the hourglass appears and then disappears without opening itunes.
ive tried reinstalling itunes multiple times and ive also used ewido again (just in case there was something else on my computer stopping itunes from working) but ive had no luck. this problem is really frustrating, since now i can no longer download any music to my ipod, let alone even listen to any of it on my computer. any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! thank you!
Windows XP

I've long had a problem with iTunes taking ages to open and within the last week, not only has it taken several minutes to access the online store, but I cannot download tunes (the download times-out) and even when I try a sample play I keep getting "Network Stalled - rebuffering stream" error message every couple of seconds. I am able to download without problems from other websites. I've thought about re-installing iTunes but I'm scared of losing the tracks I've paid for.

ITunes refuses to open

My iTunes simply will not open. I double click the icon and the cursor becomes an hour glass for a few seconds, then goes back to normal and nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times, but the problem remains. Can someone please help me get this fixed?

Do you get that "iTunes encountered an unexpected error and needs to close" message, where they ask you if you want to send an error report? I get that too, and it's really starting to annoy me. I got a copy of the file that the error message referenced, and I'm going to email it to tech support. Hopefully they're helpful...

ITunes refuses to open... and I've tried everything.

Until tonight, iTunes had been functioning normally... and now it simply will not open, no matter what I do.
I've spent the past two hours going through every possible solution on both of the following pages:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
...and it has had absolutely no effect. Trying to open iTunes produces nothing more than a momentary hourglass. The process opens in the task manager, but nothing else happens. Is there something somewhere that I may have missed that may still be corrupted? I've honestly deleted absolutely everything Apple off my computer, including all application data from all users and disabled all other services and start-up processes and installed from a clean reboot, and it still refuses to work.

Just to be clear where you are, when you try to start iTunes, do you see the hour glass briefly, then nothing.
If you open the task manager after attempting to open iTunes, can you see iTunes.exe running on the processes tab?
Which service pack are you on for XP and did you make any changes to your system before the problem started.
Which version of iTunes are you on and did the problem start after an upgrade or out of the blue?
Anyway assuming you have silent launch failure with persistent iTunes in the task manager, the problem is most commonly due to a problem with cryptographic services.
If it occurred out of the blue with no prior changes to your system, you need to do a full scan for malware with up to date definitions. Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and prevent a solution.
So ... before starting troubleshooting, you need to be certain your system is clean. You can get a second opinion from the Kaspersky free scan - it is good at finding things but doesn't remove them.
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Also a quick thing to check is your smart card service, which iTunes needs to start.
To check, go to:
Start>>Run>>Services.msc.
Look for the smart card service, check that is present and not set to disabled. Mine is set to manual.
I will give you the rest of it after you have checked for malware.
