HT4889 After migrating Safari will not open up. It's coming back with "Safari quit unexpectedly".

Just purchased a new MBA, I'm trying to migrate my files from my MBP to my MBA using the Apple Cap. Safari is coming up with an error and will not open. The message from Safari is stating: Safari quit unexpectedly. I'm running MAC OS X 10.7.4 on my both MACs. Any ideas?

HT1338 after Migration Safari will not open

After using the Migration Assitant to move from a 15" MacBook Pro to a 13" both using Lion, Safari will not open

OK,
Not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread, but I thought I would share my additional findings.
I have been able to recreate this problem 100% - If I perform a migration from an 10.7 machine to a 10.7 machine (even if I only copy the application data) Safari will ALWAYS crash after the migration.
This occurs even if I do through the full set up of the machine and run the migration after.
I have also found that I can fix this problem by installing the Safari 6 pkg for lion -- which I found at this thread:

Itunes will not open after download, itunes will not open after download

I downloaded the recent update for itunes 10. It crashed my computer and my computer went into safe mode and i said yes to delete itunes.
I downloaded itunes again and it will now not work. The download goes through perfect and i have repaired it more times than i can count.
Still the same window pops up saying, "the itunes library .itl cannot be found or created. The default location for the file is in the "itunes" folder in the "music" folder." What do i do?

Try holding down the shift key as you open iTunes. You should see a dialog, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library".
In "Music" open the "iTunes" folder and select the iTunes Library.itl file as per the following screenshot:
.. and click the "Open" button.
Does your iTunes launch now?
(If so, you should be able to launch normally from now on out. By default, iTunes opens the last open library file when you launch it normally.)

Itunes will not open after update, itunes will not open after update

i have just updated itunes following trying to link my apple tv to itunes on my computer. i was advised an update was required first, agreed, and have not been able to open itunes since.

Well then I would attempt a complete uninstall and reinstall of an earlier version of iTunes-
should be able to find one somewhere. Also review your automatic system restore settings
for future problems. I have used system restore multiple times for issues like this.
It really is a quick fix.
Do you have an Apple Store somewhere near where you live? You could make an appointment to
talk to a tech there. I think that's free.

Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
- I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
- I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
Any help is very appreciated.

Try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.

After installing the OS 10.10.3 update iTunes will not open. Re-downloading iTunes and re-installing did not help.

After downloading and installing OS 10.10.3 iTunes will not open. Spotlight does not find it. I have repaired permissions, re-downloaded iTunes, and re-installed it. The problem remains. ITunes appears in the directory of Applications, the update shown in the info in Finder. Double clicking does not open it.

ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
Thanks.

Hi Cchoe,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

Itunes will not open on win 7 pc after oct update?

I am running a win7 pc-64bit os and itunes will not open since I updated it in Oct. I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes s/w several times. I have tried without a firewall and with anti-virus programs disconnected. I do not get an error message. Itunes launches with a blank screen and the busy "spinner" spins until I reboot. Anybody with a similar problem or a solu

I don't know if this will help you but I just went through this. After three weeks of thinking it was my firewall and making all the adjustments suggested by apple, I discovered it was my Net Nanny software that was blocking my way. I had one character wrong in the accepted lists on websites and so it looked right to me when I checked. It wasn't until I completely uninstalled the software and reinstalled, and re-entered all my lists that I realized the error. Now it is working great. So you may want to check your list of approved websites VERY carefully or re-enter them on you firewall software or any content blocking software you may have.
Hope that helps.

ITunes will not open on Windows Vista after upgrading to new version

After installing the latest version, my iTunes will not open. I have uninstall and reinstall two times and still nothing, any suggestions or tips?

King Penguin set you on the right track. It's probably security software not recognizing the new version of itunes, and blocking it.

ITunes will not open after updating

Ever since the update to 7.1.1 iTunes will not open.
I get a pop-up window that says iTunes has stopped working.
I have followed Apple's instructions for Vista about uninstalling all Apple products. I have done this 8+ times and I am at a total loss. I am a webmaster and Sr. Sys. Admin for a software company, so it's not like I don't have experience with computer/software issues.
When I look at the Windows application log. I have this error:
Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.7.1.11, time stamp
0x4890a5ee, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time
stamp 0x4791a76d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000254d8,
process id 0xf44, application start time 0x01c8fb2e587a39a9.
This started happening after I updated.
No other issues with any other programs. Quicktime will start up and run.

I hear you. My itunes is fubared and Apple and ALL the articles they send do NO good. I have emailed Apple many times and nothing helps.
Whatever they changed with version 7.1 messed up itunes and you can't go back.
I have emailed Apple asking them if I can delete my itunes directory and any references to itunes and NOT lose my 10K songs. They havent responded to that email and my guess is that it will delete it. But Im not going to risk losing my library until I know for sure !
Im in the same boat you are, I dont want to lose my library either. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW !!
anyway this is a pain in the *** but itunes(windows) will open this way
UNTIL APPLE FIXES THIS !
1.boot up windows
2.right click on your START button
3.go to C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes (my machine is a Dell with Vista)
4.go to the itunes directory C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC INFO
5.delete BOTH files SC info.sidb AND SC info.sibb
6.launch itunes, it should open, mine did.
7. if you have any purchased songs from the istore, log-in with your user name/password.
THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR ITUNES OPEN, IF YOU CLOSE IT OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AGAIN. (at least I did)
GOOD LUCK !!

After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

With that one, the only workaround I'm aware of at the moment is to disable your BonJour Service.
Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services and Applications"
Open "Services"
Right click on the BOnJour service and select "properties".
In the General tab, change the start-up type to "disabled".
OK out of the tab.
Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch for you now?
