ITunes won't open after installing update for 10.4

I updated my iTunes to the most recent version and restarted my computer. When my computer turned back on, I tried to open iTunes but it just keeps giving me the "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly" message and asks me to either ignore report or relaunch. Every time I click relaunch, the message comes up again. My OS is Mac OSX Version 10.5.8. Anyone know what to do?

hello Nevada!
After installing the latest itunes update, itunes
won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't
open.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it
say?
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever? if
so, could you let us know the results of the
following observations?
reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes
Tab. now 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?
love, b
b noir - i have been following your advice and i want to thank you for taking your time to try and solve these problems for ipod users.
i have been following this message board each day for the past week - ever since my iTunes stopped working. i have not yet seen anyone who is receiving the same error message as myself.
like most others, i downloaded the recent update for iTunes - since then, iTunes will not open. i have tried most of the other proposed solutions to no avail, such as downloading a stand-alone version of quicktime, making sure my msconfig start-up has the correct check marks, etc.
the iTunes set-up completes with no problem - i have tried installing by saving the file to my hard drive and then running and also by running the program straight from the download window. same results.
once i go to open iTunes, i receive the following error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Then I click "Send Error Report" just hoping I will receive a required update to make this work.
i was wondering if you could attempt to help me resolve this issue? i have my music saved to my external hard drive, so i am in no danger of losing my music. however, i need to open iTunes to update my iPod.
thanks in advance for your help.

  • ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

    ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

  • My iTunes won't open after last update.

    My iTunes won't open after last update. Can anybody help me?

    I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

  • Itunes won't open after Installing 9 update

    I installed the Itunes 9 upgrade. It downloaded fine. Then when it was done, I clicked on Itunes on my dock to open it but it just bounced like it was going to open but then stops and nothing opens. Is this happening for anyone else? Any suggestions on what to do...

    The same thing happened to me where the icon "bounces," but iTunes won't open.
    So apparently I don't have the right version of OSX for the program. OK. So what to do I to get back my old iTunes?
    I'm a little ****** about this because I feel like a warning should have popped up somewhere during the installation process telling me my system wouldn't accommodate the new iTunes.
    Secondly, I'm ****** off at myself because all of this trouble was caused by trying to download an episode of freakin' "Top Chef." Why on earth would the show require the newest version of iTunes?

  • Itunes won't open after newest update

    I recently updated itunes on my macbook to the newest version. Since the update, I cannot get itunes to open. I also tried playing cd in my mac to see if it would open itunes that way but nothing happens.  Can anyone help me with this? I am not very technical, so simple instructions would be super appreciated. I have a MacBook  with Mac OS X  version 10.6.8   all updates available for computer updated.  I tried to re-install the update and that did not help either.

  • ITunes won't open after I updated to 8.0.1

    Hello,
    Here's a little background on what's been going with itunes before the recent problem. These past couple weeks I've tried to update my itunes to 8.0.1 through the Apple Software Update. It never worked and at the end of the process it would tell me to try again or do it manually. Also, I downloaded two new videos today that were already in the correct format. I added it to the itunes library with no problem and tried to convert the videos to the correct format just incase it wasn't. It gave me the message that the video was already in the correct format. When I tried to sync it with my ipod it told me the videos weren't in the correct format.
    Ok so for the overall the main problem right now is itunes won't open at all. I manually downloaded the update and I restarted the laptop after I finished updating itunes. Since then, itunes won't open and continuously gives me this message "The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (-50)". I've restarted my computer a few times and looked up as many forums and solutions I could, but no luck. Please, if someone could help, let me know. Thank you.

  • Itunes won't open after installing 10.6

    The OTA upgrade to 5.1 went great but after I installed itunes 10.6 and restarted my computer (laptop with windows vista) itunes won't open if I ununstall & reinstall will I lose everything?

    Nope. But backing up before you do this is recommended.

  • Itunes won't open after install of IOS7

    After installing IOS7 on my Iphone4S iTunes won't open.  When you click the app it starts to open and then just closes.  I have shut the phone off and checked the settings but nothing seems to be working.  Help?

    That behavior indicates that the app is crashing.
    I recommend trying a restore.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes (current version: 11.1) and click the Restore button.
    Also consider any possible apps you might have that are suspect - possibly corrupt.  Remove any such apps before attempting the restore.

  • ITunes won't open after installing upgrade and restarting

    When I click on my iTunes icon in the dock, iTunes won't open. Instead, a message box comes up: "The file iTunes "library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
    Just before this happened, I imported a lot of music into my library. Now iTunes only opens if I pIug my ipod into my Mac.
    Is there any way I can get iTunes to open by clicking on the icon, as it used to do?

    What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
    Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
    In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
    com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    (don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
    Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
    RESTART the computer
    Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
    P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

  • ITunes won't open after QuickTime update (Windows XP)

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I was prompted by Apple Software Update to install the newest version of QuickTime, and I always comply. However, after the update now iTunes will not open at all! No error message, just the hourglass cursor for a few seconds to indicate that it's loading, then a regular cursor... and then nothing.
    I tried connecting my iPod Touch since it's configured to auto-sync upon connect, still won't open. I then googled the problem and came across some methods that I don't want to try just yet, since they involve reinstalling iTunes. Also tried uninstalling Bonjour from the Add/Remove Programs menu, but this apparent solution did not work either.
    I run Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 32-bit. This started happening after I updated to QuickTime 7.7 (from 7.6 I believe). Is there a fix for this problem without reinstalling? If possible, I don't want to lose my library settings. Thanks!

    Could you check something further for me please, df? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

  • ITunes won't open after install

    after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
    I have tried all the fixes suggested by other threads; installing the standalone quicktime, running msconfig, searching for malware, setting up norton to allow itunes and disabling it during install. I followed the instructions for the complete uninstall and tried to reinstall, didn't work. I then did another complete uninstall and installed an older version of iTunes 6 from the cd i got with my iPod, still doesn't work!!
    i am at a loss with this, hopefully the next release will fix this issue.
    any response would be greatly appreciated

    hmmm. okay, Norton is still our prime suspect here. that "running itunes.exe process that will not die" symptom is associated with the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 launch suppression problems. (people who get that also often see things like looooooong sloooooow shutdown times on the PCs and odd end program dialog boxes.)
    let's try throwing the trusty Lorraine M technique at the beast. (it usually fixes the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 problems.)

  • Itunes won't open after installing

    Yesterday itunes wouldn't open, so I deleted itunes and quicktime from my computer, I also delted the itunes folder from my computer. Then I reinstalled itunes and again it won't open. I don't recieve an error message so I'm stumped, any ideas? Thanks

    Yeah, I have the same problem. I wiped everything on my computer and reinstalled Windows XP, then download iTunes 7.7 and installed it. Quicktime works fine, but when I click on iTunes, it looks busy for a second but then never opens the window. But when I shut my computer down, a dialog box pops up that says it needs to close iTunes before shut down.
