My itunes window won't open but computer says it's running

I try opening my itunes, but a window for it won't open on my computer. When I try to shut down, my computer claims itunes is running...?

Did you find a solution to this? You're right about Lion dropping Rosetta support. And you're right that Fireworks CS5 is an Intel application.
This seems like a perfect question for Adobe tech support. Have you tried contacting them? (If that's not an option, you might try Apple, since the problem relates to the Lion OS.)

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't start but it says it's running.

I just recently upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't work. I was enjoying the lastest update on firefox 3 and it was working fine, but when i upgraded to 4, the problems started. Every time i click on the icon, the mouse turns into the loading wheel for a few seconds and then goes back, but firefox doesn't load up. Nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer, but that does nothing. I then tried uninstalling it, but it says firefox is still running so it can't uninstall. Even after restarting my computer, it still says it's running. I have tried everything, but it just won't start, and I can't do anything because it claims to still be running.

I just had a similar problem and it reminded me of trying to install a logitech wireless mouse a while back. Nothing I could do to make it recognize the driver... until I ran across a website that told me that antivirus and firewalls might prevent it. So... AVG Free just updated itself earlier today... FF4 would only startup once after reboot, then start and show in task mgr but no window(s)... Uninstalled AVG new version. FF4 starts up every time. Reinstalled older version of AVG Free and now everything seems to be OK again. Hope this helps!

ITunes & Quicktime won't open but processes running

Tried to startup iTunes one day for some music before class, the hourglass came up, but no iTunes, looked in the system processes and there it was, just wasn't opening. Uninstalled and reinstalled the newest version 7.4.2 numerous times, some with leaving the application data there, most with wiping out anything iTunes related from my hard drive and trying again. Also tried earlier versions of iTunes, all did the same thing.
Nothing seemed to work, so I just reformatted my harddrive and started to put things on, at first it opened fine, then I added all my music in, and it went to get album art I believe, and I started to sort through my iTunes music folder, I go to right click to sort by name and my whole computer freezes. Now iTunes does the same as is it does before, just the processes open, and then about 2-3 mins later if I don't kill the process my whole computer freezes.
I don't know whether this would be something with my sound drivers or whatnot because it all started happening randomly, and my laptop runs iTunes perfectly fine, same with my roommates desktop (almost identical hardware). Every other media device I have runs fine, VLC, WMP, etc.

I had a similar problem with iTunes not working. Hourglass would come up, then it would revert back to arrow but iTunes wouldn't open. It would appear to be running on the list of processes, but I could not end that process.
I fixed it - or at least it seems fixed - by performing a repair installation of Windows XP. My guess is the problem was with one of the deep system files, which the reinstallation replaced. Can't know for sure, though.

I updated to itunes 10.6 but now it won't open as it says it stops working because of the Data Execution Prevention

I recently updated toitunes 10.6 but now it won't open as it says it stops working because of the Data Execution Prevention and i've followed the windows help and everything but still can't get it to work. i usually never have a problem when i update.

I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes. I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all). On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes. So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now).

I ran an itunes update, but now itunes won't open as it says it hasn't been installed correctly. How do I reinstall it?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

My iPhone is not showing as a device in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but still not showinh

I am unable to see my iPhone in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but it still will not show. Under devices it is not listed. Any suggestions?

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

When I quit itunes it restarts again with the dot under the itunes logo but the iTunes window doesn't open until I click the icon on the dock. Also in the middle of the size vale in the size column the value starts with a number then a ? then a number.

After downloading iTunes, it won't open stating need Internet connection. But already connected to Internet. Happened on 2 different computers. How can I resolve this?

After downloading iTunes,it won't open stating need Internet connection. Have Internet connection but program apparently doesn't recognize it. How can I resolve. This happened on 2 different computers.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

ITunes store won't open after Update - NO Error message!

Hello everyone!
This morning I updated my iTunes to 11.1 upon being prompted (when I tried to connect my new iPad Mini). I run Mac OS X 10.6.8. The macbook also updated other softwares (auto update). I restarted my laptop, and now the iTunes just won't open. The first time I click it in the dock, the icon would just bounce thrice before settling down, and then nothing happens. Upon clicking again, it would bounce just once, but nothing opens. There is no error message either.
I have tried restarting, and also tried software update for the OS. I have checked the parental controls and administrative powers for the user.
Kindly help!

Jason,I used the troubleshooting link you gave and so far have 1.Fixed Digital Signing for Windows drivers.(didn't help) 2.Removing Itunes configuration files.
In this one I was told to delete the SC info.sidb file (I didn't have one of these when I got to the folder where it was supposed to be)The thing I haven't done is the mscofig.instruction. I was saving it for last as it sounded like it could really make a lot of changes to my computer.The Itunes installation icon is still on my desktop so I clicked on it and there was a link that said it would repair missing or damaged files in the Itunes software. It didn't help either. I can click on Itunes all day long and it won't open.I can't access the library either. I am going to do the last step you suggested and uninstall my security software and see if that helps. I appreciate all the help Jason.

IPod Classic won't Sync to computer, says 74gb out of 80gb are used -but there's nothing on ipod. How do I restore?

iPod won't Sync to computer, says 74gb out of 80gb are used -but there's nothing on ipod. How do I restore? Is anyone else familiar with this problem? It had over 25 movies, thousands of songs & hundreds of pictures, and it seems like they're still on there, because 74gb are used out of the 80 but when I turn the ipod on it appears to be at factory, fresh out of the box settings and my computer wont recognise it at all...

For the following suggestion, when you connect the iPod to the PC, and iTunes open up, please close it, before you fix the drive.
Your iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted, and maybe repaired by using command line, under DOS window.
chkdsk drive: /F
where drive: is the iPod ID D: or E:
You can also try clicking the IPod properties, and run error checking in GUI, tick "fix all error."
If you have access to a Mac, you can use DiskUtility, and run FirstAid to repair the iPod.
Good Luck!
BTW, this problem arise because, iPod did not complete, closing, the Sync process, due to timeout, for Windows systems, I think it is maybe caused by Antivirus, or some other plugins, trying to make windows 7 look like Mac OS X.

Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.
Any suggestions most welcome…

ITunes just won't open?

i don't know what is wrong with my iTunes. i double click on the shortcut and iTunes just won't open. then i try and click on it from the start menu, and nothing again. i have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 3 times and still nothing changes. no error window or anything pops up even.
can someone help me please? thank you, i would really appreciate it.

I was having the same problem - this fixed it for me:
Remove iTunes Preference files
Some of the files that iTunes uses to store settings and preferences may be corrupt and cause issues. iTunes has two folders where preferences are saved. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The location for the two preference folders are:
* C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
* C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
There's another thread with a link to a larger article; this is part of it.
