ITunes will not open on Mac

When I open iTunes the following message appears, "iTunes quit unexpectedly", then it asks to reopen and when I do the same error code appears.

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

    After software update, itunes will not open. dialog box states that quicktime must be 7.55

    Software update should have updated Itunes and Quicktime. Try software update again and see if Quicktime gets an update. If not. Go to apple page, support, downloads and type in Quicktime 7.5.5 and download it.

  • ITunes will not open on Mac G5 power

    When I try to open iTunes it does nothing but bounce up & down

    Which operating system version are you running?  If 10.5 you can use the newest iTunes which you can get by clicking on the iTunes tab in this window.  If 10.4.11 you can only use iTunes 9.2.1 or earlier.
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • HT204406 i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open on this mac.  is there a fix for this?

    i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open.  how do i get it back?? 

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

  • My Itunes will not open, please help

    I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open.  I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
    My PC is running Windows 7.  I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
    One error I seem to have caught is as follows:
    Problem Event Name     BEX
    Application     itunes.exe
    Version     10.7.0.21
    timestamp     504d85d9
    Fault Module Name Quicktime.qts_unloaded
    Fault Module Version     0.0.0.0.
    If someone has some suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

    You're posting in the wrong area. This is the Mac OS X Lion area.
    Post in the iTunes area.

  • The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

    on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

  • HT1199 Newer version of iTunes will not open.  My music is gone.  How can I get the older version back?

    My "newer version" of itunes will not open.  How can I either get it to open or get the older version which worked fine?

    Restore the backup before you installed.
    If you didn't make a backup, at very minimum make sure your Music library isn't compromised by locating the folder you selected the music to be in (usually in Users -> yourname -> Music) and make sure there are several MB of data there by clicking once on the folder, and selecting Get Info from the File menu in the Finder.
    If you can't find it, try to locate parts of track names with Find Any File.
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/ 
    then determine which parent file of the .mp3 or .mpa files you have contains all of the music files by getting info under each previous folder in the folder tree.
    Once you determine which folder contains all your music, back it up using the Finder, or backup the entire hard drive using cloning software at least to two different drives or two complete copies on DVDs:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    You'll then want to erase and install 10.6 from the system installer you used to put 10.6 on your Mac, and run the combo 10.6.8 updater and apply the necessary security updates:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
    Then you can install older versions of iTunes for the Mac from here, once you determine which version is compatible with 10.6.8 that you liked before by first checking which version is compatible with what you need:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history
    Once you know that, if you can't find it with Google, let us know and maybe one of us can help. Lastly reload your music in your music folder, and your other applications.

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!
