Itunes won't open...bounces and disappears. Here is crash log.

When I attempt to click on itunes, it appears on the dock, bounces, and disappears. This also occurs with the "help" application. Can anyone help? Here is the crash log, but b/c it is so large it is pasted here with only the first ever crash and the most recent.

Looks like your webkit framwork is broken, or is now broken in relation to iTunes. Calls and classes may have changed since version 7.1, which is what you are using. Try updating to the latest version of iTunes and see if this fixes it.

  • ITunes won't open: bounces in dock

    I'm running MAC OSX 10.2.8, iTunes 6.0.1. When I click iTunes in the dock, it does not open and the icon bounces for a few seconds. How do I get it working again?

    If you need to re-install iTunes here is a trouble free way of doing so... this may or may not take care of other problems as well, if so good luck... my only assumption here is you already have a good and problem free System... if in doubt ask 1st.
    Go to the main boot System library and open the Receipts folder...
    drag to the trash... iTunes4.pkg and check to see if any other 'iTunesX.pkg' files are there, if so, drag also to the trash but only the ones starting with 'iTunes' leave all others untouched and close the folder.
    Check that your HD is in order with 'Disk Utility' ...
    Run repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk...
    insert disk and re-start holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning gear.
    At installer level do not continue...
    Use top left menu and go 'Disk Uitility' (Utilities menu Tiger)
    select your HD volume with Operating system on...
    select 1st aid... select repair Hard Disk.
    if errors are repaired run again until none are reported then verify your HD.
    quit and return to the Finder
    Check the pemissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
    use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.   
    Download iTunes 6.0.1 .... then install.... If you have any doubts about the integerity of your system you should run the most up-to-date combo update for Jaguar Combo 10.2.8, for Panther Combo 10.3.9 and for Tiger 10.4.3. ... download and install 'combo' 1st and then do the iTunes install.
    Now do the HD repairs and permissions repairs again, as above, in the same order. Important
    Your iTunes program should work OK now but there is one other piece which is optional but I recommend it as good thing to do and that is, Check and set correct permissions on all your music files.   
    Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
    This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'terminal command line'
    drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
    check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
    then tick 'Apply ownership and privileges' tick 'Unlock" ... click Apply...
    provide password... all done very quick...
    Check you do not have any XBox / Digi setups running that do not have the latest drivers installed.
    See how it all goes now after 1st dragging from the dock the iTunes Icon and replacing it with a new copy, by dragging the iTunes Icon from your Applications folder to the dock and start from there..
    Any questions ask 1st and do later not the other way around... take care... TP

  • ITunes won't open now (and I didn't do anything!)

    I'm seriously angry here. I've had so many problems related to iTunes. The past 2 times my iTunes stopped working altogether and I actually resorted to formatting my whole hard drive both times.
    It's been working fine now for a month. I turned my computer off (properly) last night and today I turned it on and the first thing I tried to do was open iTunes and all it gives me is the stupid "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and gives me the option to send an error report.
    I have already tried repairing iTunes, deleting and reinstalling it, and downloading a fresh copy and installing that. Nothing has changed.
    Can anyone help me?

    Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    If you see QuickTime, remove it
    Then try repairing iTunes
    If that doesn't work, go back into Add/Remove Programs and make sure QuickTime is uninstalled.
    Then, go here and download and install the version of QuickTime that does NOT include iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    If you run into problems uninstalling Quicktime, download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Go to Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
    Find QuickTime in the list and remove it.

  • Some apps went "generic" won't launch (bounce and disappear)

    OK. So I installed Stuffit Expander and after doing that, several Intaller PKG files I downloaded would simply not function. I downloaded Security Spy software and when I clicked on the PKG file and a generic application icon would bounce in the dock for less than a second and then disappear. I tried with other downloaded software (like PithHelmet) and this happened again. I was able to View Package Contents on the SecuritySpy.pkg and found another installer file inside it, which I clicked and it installed the software fine.
    Then, I looked at my Utilities folder and noticed that the programs like Keychain Access, Printer Setup Utility and (gasp) Disk Utilities had "generic" application icons instead of the usual ones. Clicking on these yielded the same "brief bouncing icon" issue and nothing happened -- except for Disk Utility, which gave me a dialogue that said, shockingly: "You cannot open the application "Disk Utility" because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    I am very worried. Any thoughts people?

    Try running fsck. Since you can't run disk utility
    you will need to boot into darwin and do it manually.
    Resart and hold down Cmd-S.
    At the prompt type
    fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2
    pending on how your disk/system is setup you may need
    to change disk0s2 to the correct value.
    Type df at the prompt and use the disk listed as /
    Type reboot.
    Hope that helps.
    Wow, that sounds dangerous. I'm a command-line wuss... I'm afraid of using it. What exactly do these commands do and could they mess up my system even more?

  • ITunes Won't Open -- Uninstalled and Reinstalled

    I am unable to open iTunes on my pc. I tried uninstalling QuickTime and reinstalling and it did not work. Then I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, and still it will not open. Whether I try through the icon or through the programs menu, it just will not open. Any tips?

    I have Norton 2006, I believe, installed on it. It's set to expire in 2 months.
    hmmmm. much rarer to get error-message-free launch failures associated with 2006 (or 2007) than it is with 2005 ... but we'd better follow up on this.
    it's been a while since my 2006 expired, and i'm at 2007 now. but i'll try to remember what it's going to look like for you. apologies if the instructions are a bit sketchy.
    quit iTunes and QuickTime.
    bring up your Protection Center and click on Norton Personal Firewall. click the configure button.
    make sure that all of:
    Apple Software Update (May be called just "Software Update")
    Apple iTunes (or "iTunes")
    iTunes Helper
    QuickTime Player (or "Apple QuickTime Player")
    ... are all being allowed full access to the internet.
    okay out of the tab, and try launching iTunes again.
    do you get a launch this time?

  • Safari and itunes won't open

    I was using my mac 3 days ago and everything was fine, then comcast had a internet problem and I lost service for 3 days now I have internet but safari and itunes won't open the icon bounces once and then nothing. I have removed them from the dock, and removed them from the app folder, I also removed the plist and cache files from the home directory. Using firefox I tried to download new copies of them both and nothing new appears on my desktop. I have run the hardware test utility on my osx discs and everthing checks out ok. I am so frustrated, this is the first real problem with my mac since I got it 2.5 years ago. thanks in advance

    ok here is an update, I repaired permissions in disk utility with my boot disk, then verified the volume and the volume had errors. I tried to repair the volume and disk utility said I had sibling errors and could not repair. I had an appointment with the genius bar and they determined that with the unrepairable errors on the drive an erase and install was necessary, after coming to grips with this reality I decided to backup everything and do the reformat and upgrade to leopard. I can honestly say that the genius bar person was very courteous and professional. They allowed me to stay at the bar while backing up my files onto my lacie external drive and then installed a new copy of leopard from their lacie drive (after I paid for my copy of leopard) which took 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. I am frustrated that I had to do this whole process and the genius bar employee could not tell me why it happened but the system is working great and I am enjoying the new operating system.

  • ITUNES WON'T OPEN AND GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE HELP

    my iTunes won't open, and instead pops up a window saying:
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)."
    Something similar to this is happening with my mac DVD player. When I try to open that, it won't open and says:
    "There was an initialization error. The audio output device could not be found. Please make sure speakers or an appropriate output device is connected. [-70027]"
    doesn't come in to handy when you are about to watch a new episode of Lost .
    anyway, I saw the speaker thing and went online. Any sound online (music, popups) can all make sounds - so my computer isnt permanetly muted. I've also restarted my computer, done the system updates, and gone into system prefereces to mess around with the volume. The computer recognizes the internal speakers. HELP!

    Hey,
    Here are the steps that should help:
    1. Close all applications.
    2. Go into the Finder>Home>Library>Preferences
    3. Delete 'com.apple.iDVD.plist' and 'com.apple.iTunes.plist'
    4. Restart Immediatley.
    This should work. Cheers, Ricky.

  • ITunes won't open and a Windows error message pops up

    I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2.12 awhile ago.  It worked fine the first time.  Ever since then, whenever I plug in my ipod, my laptop recognizes and says it's syncing but iTunes won't open.  I double click on iTunes and I get an error message from Windows saying that an error has occurred and it needs to close iTunes but it never even opens up.  (The message doesn't give any error codes.)  I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all its components and then reinstalling it but I get the same error message.  I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP 3.  Please help.  Thanks.

    Many thanks.
    Yes, it is an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error.  The ModName: dnssd. dll        The ModVer: 2.0.5.0     Offset: 0000246c
    With that one, by way of experiment, let's try disabling your Bonjour Service.
    In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?

  • Itunes won't open and tells me it is incompatible

    iTunes won't open, have tried everything and nothing works.  When I do a troubleshoot on it, it gives me a incompatible message, how can this be repaired???

    Refer to this article:

    Note: make sure to unchecked all boxes in Compatability tab for Windows 7.

  • TS1717 My Itunes won't open and I am getting message "the file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be ready because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  Any suggestions?

    My iTunes won't open and I am getting message "the file iTunes library .itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.  Anyone have a suggestion?

    I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
    This method should get you up and running again.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Itunes won't open...error 2206..tried many time to uninstall and to install...any help?

    Itunes won't open...error 2206
    I have tried to uninstall and to reinstall...still won't open.
    Any suggestions so i can use my itunes library again?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • ITunes won't open and my iTunes Folder is missing

    My iTunes wouldn't open so I tried removing iTunes and Quicktime along with my iTunes folder, and now iTunes folder won't come back after reinstalling iTunes. Also iTunes won't open still. Any help would be great, thanks!

    i have re-installed / maintenance install and the magical itunes folder in my music has re-appeared, itunes alas will still not open and still claims this folder in my music is not there. i have also deleted that src folder thing mentioned on the support page as a possible problem so that folder is not the cause of my current troubles.

  • 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!
