Can anyone help? itunes wont open and i need music!

hello im new to this so excuse me if im rambling.
Ive recently updated software when turning on my mac when it offered it automatically and now my itunes wont open. A box comes up saying " the application itunes quit unexpectedly. other applications are not affected. click reopen to open the application again" blah blah...
And of course it wont open if i repeatedly try.
Can any of you lot tell me what i can do to rectify this and save me a whopping £35.00 that apple isists on getting if you want any help from them via the old phone!
Thanku thanku thanku if u can shed some light on this for me!

You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & 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 itunes wont open and i cannot find an itunes .exe file

    my itunes wont open and i cannot find an itunes .exe file

    I have this same problem and when I go to the control panel to uninstall itunes, I can't do that either.  I have been trying to uninstall so I can reinstall.  Hopefully someone has an idea.

  • My iphoto9 has not been able to open for over 10 days!!  I can't load my Christmas pics, etc.  I know the pics are still there because I can access them through a round about way.  Can anyone help me to OPEN iPHOTO!?

    My iphoto9 has not been able to open for over 10 days!!  I can't load my Christmas pics, etc.  I know the pics are still there because I can access them through a round about way.  Can anyone help me to OPEN iPHOTO!?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions?

    Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions? All I want to do is change the font and size of a table or div.
    http://www.allgearinc.com/AG12SSWL-Swift.htm -One problem page

    If you want to change the fonts of the entire page then this code will do the trick:
    body {
        font-size: 16pt;
        color: silver;
         font-family: whatever, goes, here;
    If you want to change the fonts of ALL tables on a page then the code is something like this:
    table {
        font-size: 20pt;
        font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
        font-style: italic;
        font-weight: bold;
    what exactly do you want to change?  Can you be a bit specific so that Ben or Ken can give you the exact code and tell you about the short-hand method to write the code in one line.
    Have you bought a book on CSS yet?  If not, it is a good idea to get one as a reference.  Eric Meyer writes good books on CSS.

  • Can anyone help me figure out how to transfer music to a T-Mobile Sidekick?

    I have a T-Mobile 2008 Sidekick, which is music capable.
    Everytime I connect my phone to the computer,
    it does not show up on the sidebar of my iTunes window.
    My phone and the computer say they are connected.
    Why does it not show up on iTunes?
    Can anyone help me out, please?

    iTunes will not directly support your Sidekick. iTunes only directly supports Apple's devices. You'll need to use whatever software or procedure your Sidekick uses to transfer music, using that software/procedure to access the tracks directly from the iTunes Music folder (presuming that the tracks are in a format the Sidekick can support; if not, the tracks will need to be converted).

  • Can anyone help me with something? I need to make a hole in a JPanel -_-

    Hi everyone,
    First of all, this is my first time writing here. Nevertheless, my knowledge about Java is not vast but still it helps me somehow. My problem is, I am writing a program that has a JFrame with a JPanel added to it and I need to draw a visual object to the top with a circle between JPanel and the object. It's like old James Bond intros you see; black screen with moving white circle with James Bond in the middle, moving with the spotlight. In fact, what I did was nothing more than putting a JPanel with black background and a white oval with same coordinates with the object. Although it gave something nice as I described above, I can't put any other objects to be hidden behind the black JPanel. It seems I got to drill the JPanel to see the white frame background to put my Bond there and put every other objects behind the JPanel. My aim is that other things will appear, emerge when they come to white circle(white light as I call it). I can move other objects, I just need them to be hidden behind the curtain. Can anyone help? I hope I described clearly.
