Itunes wont open like at all, any idea with whats wrong with it?

my itunes is not opening its been like this for a few weeks you could just sit there and keep clicking it but it wont open, and i have no idea if its itunes or my laptop thats causing this problem. sigh. anyone know anything about this kind of thing to help me with a solution?

This hint is addressed to all thoose of you who got the problem that ITunes does not start at all when launching.
For a short time (about 2-3 seconds) it pops up in the task manager, then it closes again.
I got this problem yesterday after upgrading to ITunes 10.5 and I have noticed that many others have experineced the same problem.
Here a solution that did work perfectly on my PC:
Search for the ITunes.exe file in the programm files.
Right klick and choose properties (oder Eigenschaften).
Go to tab compatibility and select to run ITunes in compatibility mode for Windows 2000 and further below, select the feature to run at 640x480 resolution.
Click on apply and close.
Now ITunes will start, but do not get scared because it opens at the very low resultution of 640x480.
In any case, once ITunes is running, you can change your resolution back to your normal setting and ITunes keeps running.
My conclusion is that unfortionately the new ITunes version was uncorrectly programmed, so that is has problems to launch with certain screen resolutions.
On my system the resolution is usually adjusted to 1920X1080 (Full HD).
I hope there will be an update available soon.

Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD. Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again. Any ideas?

Itunes wont open on xp all of a sudden

All of a sudden my itunes wont work.Im not too illiterate with computers and have tried many things.Uninstalling and re installing,Deleting all old quicktime and itunes files and then reinstalling.Like everyone else says in the taskmanager it says itunes is up and when I shut down my computer it has the the message saying there is an error shutting down itunes or itunes isnt responding and I just hit cancel or end task and my computer will turn off like normal.Ive downloaded 1 of the first versions of itunes and it worked but when it asked if I wanted to update and I said yes and went through all the motions(installing,restarting my computer) and then clicking on the new version it still wouldnt work.Someone please help,the hours of troubleshooting and bulletin reading isnt working

Well, I got the solution in case anyone stops by to read it. I don't take credit for it. My girlfriend found in on another website while helping me research the problem. It may take a half hour or longer to do, but it works.
1. Go to Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs --> iTunes --> Remove
...uninstall the program completely and restart your computer
2. Go to Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs --> QuickTime --> Remove
...uninstall the program completely and restart your computer
3. Go to My Computer --> Local Disc --> Program Files. Once in Program Files you will see the iTunes and QuickTime folder and you will want to delete the iTunes folder and the QuickTime folder. Right click on the iTunes folder and select delete and confirm the deletion. Do the same for QuickTime.
4. Restart your computer
5. Disable all features of any anti-virus program such as Norton or McAfee
6. Open Internet Explorer or which ever internet program you use and go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and download the iTunes+QuickTime program. *Do not do any modifications in the download of the program.* Just download the program by doing the usual "Next" clicking.
7. Once iTunes is finished downloading, double click on the Shortcut Icon on the desktop. iTunes should open with a large square box and you have to click "Agree."
8. iTunes WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you can enable your anti-virus program and there will no longer be any issues.

Hey mistib,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to update to the latest version of iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I can't open my address book, any ideas on what I should do?

I am not able to open my address book on my iMac. Any ideas on why it won't open or what I can try to get it to open?

Then I'd try re-installing the 'combo' updater. Which version of OS X are you running - 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7?
10.5 here: Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
10.6 here: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
10.7 here: OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo
It would be a good idea to Repair Disk Permissions before and after updating: Utilities>Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk permissions'. Don't be concerned if it comes up with a long list of repairs, it's normal.

Itunes wont open - compatibility error...

hi,
today I had a problem with moving songs from itunes to ipod. have had this issue in the past which was fixed by using ipod updater.
this didnt seem to work so for first time in ages ran the itunes updater. I can no longer open itunes and get the following error.
Quicktime unavailable
itunes requires Windows 2000 or later
Please make sure compatibility mode is disbaled in the compatibility tab of the properties of itunes.exe
well....I tried to do this (I am not massively IT literate!), have tried selecting or deselecting compatibility on this tab....and still wont open....any ideas?
im on windows XP professional.
cheers in advance

hiya!
if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:
Resetting iPod warnings
do you get an error message show up after resetting warnings?

Itune wont open with iphone attached

iTunes wont open when I attach my iPhone to the computer with the same USB ccable I have been using. I can open iTunes then all works fine. In iTunes the option to open iTunes when phone is attached is clicked on.

Check out this Apple document -> iTunes for Mac won't open automatically when connecting device.
You'll have to disable the "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" option before you can choose to have iTunes open when the iPhone is connected.

HT1296 My iphone wont sync and all I get is a message saying that the sync session failed to start, any ideas on what I do next?

Pretty much as above, when I plug my iphone in it just comes up with the message saying the sync session failed to start and thats all I can get out of it :/
Any ideas on what I need to do to get my iphone to talk to my itunes again please?

Hi hblower,
As a first step, I would suggest quitting your open apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then sign out of iTunes:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
Restart and/or reset the device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Are you running the latest version of iTunes? If not, update the software and try syncing again …
Cheers,
Judy

HI,
First, there are no Mac viruses in the wild.
recently random sites have had a warning message thing come up that looks like a Norton Anti-virus telling me to run my browser in 'safe' mode or something.
So far it hasn't really done anything malicious, but I'd like to stop it before it does.
The file is an .exe file and unless you are running a Windows partition on your Mac, the Mac OS X cannot open those files. You're OK! If you are running Windows then you would need anti virus software, but it would be installed on the Windows partition, not the Mac OS X.
Nothing to be worry about. They are trying to get your to purchase anti virus software. Norton a/v for a Mac is the worst thing you could install. It's invasive and impossible to UNinstall.
You are running Snow Leopard... read here.

Look under your Start Menu for Apple Software Update, but before doing that, check the time and date on your computer that it's correct.
It's also saying the iTunes Library .XML file in your iTunes Folder file is new, for some reason, but your songs should be still in the iTunes Folder.
You can move the XML file out and restart iTunes and it shoudl creat another, you lose your playlists and have to import all your music again.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.
