Itunes will not open after installing lion and software updates

I just installed lion and completed the most recent software updates for my computer, now i cannot get iTunes to open without it "unexpectedly quitting" on me. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

You can try two things - Open Disk Utility and repair all permissions for your hard disk and / or delete the iTunes Preferences plist file in userhome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
However, Lion now hides this Library folder in your user home folder, so you will need to open the Terminal app and type
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
and press return
This will show the Library folder

  • Itunes will not open after installing yosemite

    I installed Yosemite and have tried to repeatedly. Get my new Itunes 12 to open but it refuses. It will not make any indication that it is attempting to open. I have tried to reinstall it a number of times and it still will not open.
    any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've encountered the exact same problem.
    iTunes wouldn't start up at all, even tough it had the correct version.
    By browsing to the applications contents and running the itunes exec it would work.
    Also running it through Terminal would work. But simply not by clicking the iTunes.app
    However i've fixed it! by manually setting read and write so that you can delete the iTunes.app. (for a tut see http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/)
    Then manually Install iTunes again by downloading it at http://www.apple.com/nl/itunes/download/
    Then it worked fine with me! Hope it helps.

  • Photoshop will not open after installing window's 7 updates

    I'm in a bit of a dilema, any help is appreciated. My Windows 7 has updates. When it does this, Photoshop will not run. I have reverted the PC back before the update and Photoshop runs fine. The only thing is that the PC will update itself unless I turn the automatic updates off. Does anyone have a fix for this? Photoshop CS2, running on Windows' 7 Home Deluxe edition.
    Thank you,
    Tony

    This is the error message I am receiving. A window pops up when I try to run Photoshop. At the top of the window is the directory entry
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Photoshop.exe
    X Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    The only problem is that there is no access permissions. I just did the system update and now Photoshop will not run. Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you,
    tony

    Are you saying that the application does not launch or that your domain file with the site in it doesn't open?

  • ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

    I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cchoe,
    I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

  • ITunes will not open after updating

    Ever since the update to 7.1.1 iTunes will not open.
    I get a pop-up window that says iTunes has stopped working.
    I have followed Apple's instructions for Vista about uninstalling all Apple products. I have done this 8+ times and I am at a total loss. I am a webmaster and Sr. Sys. Admin for a software company, so it's not like I don't have experience with computer/software issues.
    When I look at the Windows application log. I have this error:
    Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.7.1.11, time stamp
    0x4890a5ee, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time
    stamp 0x4791a76d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000254d8,
    process id 0xf44, application start time 0x01c8fb2e587a39a9.
    This started happening after I updated.
    No other issues with any other programs. Quicktime will start up and run.

    I hear you. My itunes is fubared and Apple and ALL the articles they send do NO good. I have emailed Apple many times and nothing helps.
    Whatever they changed with version 7.1 messed up itunes and you can't go back.
    I have emailed Apple asking them if I can delete my itunes directory and any references to itunes and NOT lose my 10K songs. They havent responded to that email and my guess is that it will delete it. But Im not going to risk losing my library until I know for sure !
    Im in the same boat you are, I dont want to lose my library either. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW !!
    anyway this is a pain in the *** but itunes(windows) will open this way
    UNTIL APPLE FIXES THIS !
    1.boot up windows
    2.right click on your START button
    3.go to C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes (my machine is a Dell with Vista)
    4.go to the itunes directory C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC INFO
    5.delete BOTH files SC info.sidb AND SC info.sibb
    6.launch itunes, it should open, mine did.
    7. if you have any purchased songs from the istore, log-in with your user name/password.
    THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR ITUNES OPEN, IF YOU CLOSE IT OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AGAIN. (at least I did)
    GOOD LUCK !!

  • ITunes will not maximize after installing 12.0

    iTunes window would not maximize - reinstalled and took the update of 12.0 and still have the issue of not being able to maximize out beyond the taskbar - any suggestions?

    Hello gkrause1518,
    If the window for iTunes will not open when you start the application, I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    Theres a lot to it, but just follow it from the top to the bottom in order. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • TS3540 ITunes will not open after re-install

    I followed the instructions from this article after trying to sync iTunes with iPhone5.  I finished the second set  of steps downloading http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    After restarting a couple of times, it still will not open.  The icon in the Dock has a question mark superinposed on it.
    Now what do I do?  All of this just to get message groups/email lists to be on the new phone.  Yikes!

    Well, after reading more posts and not getting any answers here, I kept fidgeting and discovered that while the Dock iTunes icon did not work, going through the App folder and then adding the icon to the Dock did work.  The iPhone5 did sync while plugged into power - not having to be directly connected to the iMac.  So far so good.  Still figuring out how to get the groups to show up.

    Hi,
    Please try out the following workarounds and see if it helps:
    1. Renaming SLCache and SLStore folders
    Please go to following location:
    WIN:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    MAC: System Library/Application Support/Adobe
    and rename the SLCache folder present there.
    Similarly, rename SLStore folder present at following location
    WIN: C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    MAC: System Library/Application Support/Adobe
            After renaming these folders, try to login into the sign-in screen again.
    In case it does not help, try out this:
    2. Switch the User account to Hidden Administrator. Try signing in from there.
    Enable the (Hidden) Administrator Account on your WIN machine. To enable the same, please refer to link.
    Sign Out of current user account and then log in with the new account created.
    Try launching Photoshop Elements Editor and login into the sign in screen that pops up.
    If editor launches up fine, you can disable the Hidden Administrator account created in first step. Steps to disable the account have been mentioned in the same link.
    Thanks,

  • ITunes will not open after (12) update!!!!!!!

    Just updated iTunes to (12) and now it will not open. Two messages. The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll. and then iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I've tried to uninstall and reinstall DID NOT WORK. Tried to remove the file iAdCore.dll. from iTunes in the program files and again DID NOT WORK! I have lost my entire library and now cannot even open iTunes just because I did the update. Please help.
    Win XP SP3 32bit

    i had almost same issue on Windows RT 8.1
    i tried to uninstall and reintsall as apple says THOUSAND TIMES but, did not work at all !
    i sorted out myself issues they are ,
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple folder &
    C:\ProgramData\Apple &
    C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer    cannot be deleted
    thats why i recieved "Error 7 (Windows Error XXX)" even though apple says its because netframework or Corrupt download or incomplete installation of iTunes software
    so i moved undeletable folders with all subfolders to desktop and run installation of  itunes12.0.1.26
    all solved my problems of installing itunes, now i have to find a way to delete the files on the desktop .
