Updated iTunes and now it won't open on my computer

I just did the OS X update and then the iTunes update and now my iTunes won't open on my Mac mini. I click the icon and it doesn't do anything and I even tried opening it in my applications folder and it still won't come up. Is anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I fix it?

I had this and managed to fix it:
Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Open the Terminal
Run "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app"
Re-install iTunes

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.

I updated iTunes and now it won't open after reboot. Keeps being forced closed as soon as device is connected or open from programs menu?

This didn't happen until after I was attempting to restore my iPad. Restore was unsuccessful. It suggested I make sure I was up to date on upgrades and restart. I did and now it won't start again so I can attempt to restore my iPad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

HELP!!!! I just updated iTunes and now it won't open!

When I double click the icon on my desktop, my curser does the hourglass thing like it always does before the program opens, but then it stops and the program doesn't open! Everything else on my computer seems to work and my virus scan thingy says there's nothing wrong. I have also reinstalled iTunes twice and restarted my computer. I tried calling the help number but after waiting ten minutes to speak to a live human being, I was told that I would have to pay fifty bucks for them to help me! After reading the other posts on this message board, I am beginning to think that they are doing this on purpose so that they can charge everybody fifty bucks. Anyway, any advice regarding how I can open iTunes without losing my music, messing up my computer, or paying fifty dollars would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Gawd, no, i'ts not an evil plot by Apple to get $50. It's because 9 times out of 10, it's a Windows problem and since they didn't sell you the Win PC, they're not giving free support.
OK, do you get any error message?
Go to Task Manager > Processes tab (hit ctl-alt-del)
Click on the Image Name column to sort things alphabetically.
Do you see itunes.exe in there?
Do you see qttask.exe?

You did a d/l of the iTunes .dmg - did you install by opening the .dmg and following the dialogs?

I downloaded my Elements 11 software and resitered it and now it won't open on my computer . . . . do I need to re-install it??

I am working off of Windows 7. My husband restarted the computer and it works fine now. But before you would click on the icon to open the program it would appear as if it were firing up and then just shut down with no message or anything. Not sure but it looks as if it's running ok now! Thanks for responding though!

Hi! I bought a song on itunes, and now it won't play on my computer or iPod. Itunes on my computer keeps telling me that I'm not authorized to play the song on my computer, even after reauthorizing it. Is there anything I can do to play the song?

Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

HELP!! Updated iTunes and now it won't work

I just updated itunes & quicktime. I can't open itunes, it tells me that I need to have quicktime 7.0.3. which I do. It tells me to reinstall which I've done 3 times.
Help!!!
Thank you!

hello Illinois!
I can't open itunes, it tells me that I need to have quicktime 7.0.3. which I do.
hmmm. is that message saying that you have 7.0d0 installed?
if so, what we're going to try is a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 install. (that's the version of QT which you are supposed to be getting in an itunes 6.0.2.23, 6.0.3.5 or, as of this afternoon, an itunes 6.0.4.2 installer bundle.)
download and save the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if the standalone QT install goes through okay, will your itunes launch properly?

I just began to update my itunes and now it won't open

Hi,
My Itunes won't open when i click on in, at first it would do nothing but then when i tried to reinstall it and fix some errors with it, now it acts like its going to download something every time i click on it. What do i need to do so that i can make my itunes work normally again?

Try opening iTunes in "Safe Mode" (without external plug-ins) and see it the problem persists. To do this press Command+Option (while opening iTunes).
If you decide to remove a plug-in, they are in your Library folder -> iTunes folder -> iTunes Plug-Ins.
