Can't get iTunes to open after upgrading

After I downloaded the new version of iTunes (6.0.4) i couldn't get it to open. No matter what I do the application will not open. The iTunes.exe process shows up on my Windows Task Manager screen, but the application doesn't appear under the applications tab. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes and repairing iTunes and nothing has worked. I've also tried downloading old versions of iTunes and they didn't work either. I've also tried turning off all of my anti-virus software and uninstalling then reinstalling it. All of my music is still intact, but I can't play it or use the music store because Itunes won't open. PLease help me get iTunes to open.

How didu get those older versions, i cant find them

  • Still can't get iTunes to open

    After help from this DB I uninstalled every part of my iPod Nano and iTunes from my computer, re-installed everything and still can't get iTunes to open. It thinks about it and then just doesn't open, doesn't run, nothing. I even tried going on iTunes on here and surfing around and can't get the Music Store to open. If I click on it, it opens for 1/2 a second and then flips back to the main page. Any thoughts? Sorry to be such a PITA. I'm just frustrated with a new iPod and no music.

    Okay, it seems I am not the only one with this problem. Sorry... did not see the other post until I typed this. But this is frustrating. Anyone know if I can use a later version and still use my Nano?

  • I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3.  If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

    I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before.  If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top.  The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears.  When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it.  when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away.  If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window.  It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

    I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing.

    Cannot get itunes to open after updating.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions. 

    Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
    There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.

  • I can not get itunes to open on Windows 7...

    I just got a new iPhone and wanted to back up my old iPhone to my computer one more time before switching over...Two hours later I still can not get iTunes to open.  I have two different acounts on my computer, iTunes will load on the secondary account, but not my main account.  I logged into iTunes on that account and now have issues with libraries, and overriding and synching and deleting, and a million other messages that made me nervous about backing up my phone through the secondary account.  I just want to get iTunes to work on my main account.  I have tried several different things, and am getting incredibly frustrated.  Just in case I messed up a step of the "obvious" fixes, I would appreciate anything anyone could suggest to help   Thank you!

  • How can I get iTunes to open to Library instead of the iTunes Store.  It does it on one of my computers.

    How can I get iTunes to open to Library instead of the iTunes Store.  It does it on one of my computers, but I don't know how I did it.

    For me, iTunes always opens to whatever I had selected previously when it was closed.
    In other words, if I had Apps selected when I closed iTunes, the next time I opened iTunes it would be on Apps.

  • I can't get it to open after download. Get message "the item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions."

  • Can't get itunes to open

    i downloaded the updated software for itunes and i can't get it to open. I double click on the icon and it won't. i go to start and try to open it that way and it won't work. i don't get any type of error message...or any message at all. it just acts as if i'm not even clicking it. help!

    1. I do have Norton Anti-Virus 2005
    2. When i attempt to launch QuickTime, i get a message that says "Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." If I click the "Do it Now" button, it tells me that my software is already the latest version. If I click cancel, the message pops up again. If I hit cancel again, then QuickTime will launch.
    3. Yes, in Task Manager, iTunes.exe shows up for a few seconds and then disappears without iTunes loading.
    good gracious. you may have two different things going on at once here. (the particular QuickTime symptoms you're getting are not typically associated with an itunes error message free launch failure.)
    just doublechecking something first ... you're getting no error messages whatsoever when launching itunes? (my questions for wazzle were designed to sort through possible causes for error message free itunes launch failures.)

  • ITunes wont open after upgrade to iTunes 9

    I upgraded to iTunes 9 unaware that apparently it doesn't work with 10.4.11 and now itunes won't even open, instead I get an "requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later" message and when I click the OK button iTunes still doesn't open. I can't upgrade to QT 7.5.5, as far as I know it is for intel Macs only and apparently so is iTunes 9. I can uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall itunes 8.2, but since I can't open iTunes and backup the music to a disc, I'm not sure if or how I would replace the music in the reinstalled iTunes, will the music folder be effected and if it is, can I simply copy the music folder to the desktop and then drag and drop it into the iTunes application folder after the reinstall? If not, what would be the best procedure?

    Don't touch your iTunes Music folder. All your iTunes data is stored there completely separate from your iTunes application. You can delete or reinstall your iTunes Application without affecting your data. However, you should be able to use iTunes 9.
    iTunes 9 requires OS X 10.4.11 or later and a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor.
    It also needs QuickTime 7.6 or later. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Note that there are separate versions for Leopard and Tiger. Pick the right one.
