Can't open itunes!!! iTunes 7 shortcuts don't work!

I can't open itunes except for right-clicking on a mp3 or media file and clicking "open with.....itunes"
Can anyone explain why this is? None of the shortcuts work! Please let me know how to solve this.

I'd suggest you install the previous working version. Go to filehippo to download your previous version and me sure to make a copy of the iTunes library to another directory in your Mac. When you have installed the older iTunes version, move back the iTunes library file to where it's supposed to be (I wouldn't know where to put it in a Mac since I've always used Windows). That worked for me when I had a problem with iTunes not opening.
Good luck

  • Can't open iTunes and Audio doesn't work

    Hi! I need help!
    Everytime I try to open iTunes I get an Error message that says:
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)."
    And once I started getting this error my audio stopped working. All my macbook pro does audio wise is play sound effects of what I do (move things to trash, delete things...etc.).
    Anyone know what's going on here and what I can do to fix this problem?

    Your iTunes issue should be posted to the iTunes forum area.
    For your sound problems - Repair permissions & restart.

    Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).  Quit out of the GarageBand app.

  • DESPERATE! I can't open iTunes because I don't have apple application suuport?

    I have recently got I new laptop, and I wished to transfer all my itunes libraries to my new laptop from my old. I plugged in my iPhone 3GS into my new computer, having not previously downloaded the latest update for either iTunes (on my old laptop) or my iPhone, the new laptop did it instantly. Therefore, it never gave me the option of transferring my purchases, which is what I had planned on doing, so I lost all my music and apps. However, I had my photos and contacts etc, and my music and apps were still on my old laptop, so I set up home share, and now have my library on both laptops, but cannot get my apps there and cannot get my library from my new laptop to my iPhone. So, not sure of what to do, I plugged my iPhone back into my old computer, which had the older version of iTunes, unlike my new laptop. ITunes then told me that I had to uninstall it and then reinstall it because it was the older version. I misread this stupidly, and dowloaded the newer version, which annoyingly didn't even download properly. So, after re-reading the message that came up when I plugged in my iPhone, I looked up on the apple website how to uninstall and reinstall iTunes etc, and it told me I had to uninstall a number of programmes, inlcuding Apple Application support, I wasn't 100% sure why I had to do this, but i thought it would be best if i followed the instructions, and so I erased that from my old laptop, and tried reinstalling itunes. After several attempts, iTunes wasn't even downloading, but eventually it worked, however, upon opening the programme, I recieve a message telling my to uninstall itunes and reinstall it because there is no Apple Application Support, so i do this but to no avail, the same message appears. I have tried installing Quick Time because I read on a website that it would help, but this also had no effect, I really need to get my music and apps back onto my phone, but without iTunes I don't know how! Help!

    Just want to add that after hours of searching and following every different blog on this issue, iTunes/apple you have lost my vote. What a joke...!

  • Somehow I received a free movie which I didn't want.  It started to download automatically when I opened iTunes. I don't want it to download and can't stop it.  I have other cds that I would like to download but this movie is in the way.  Help

  • After updating to Mavericks I can't open iTunes. I keep getting a popup telling me to unclick "run in 32- bit mode" in iTunes info. I have done that several times and rebooted. Everything else seems to be working fine.

    After updating to Mavericks, I can't open iTunes. I keep getting  a pop up telling me iTunes needs to run in 64-bit mode. After following directions several times to go to Finder, iTunes, Get info and "unclick 32-bit mode" it still won't work and i keep getting the smae pop up window. I've rebooted several times also.

    What version of iTunes do you have? The current version of iTunes for Mavericks is 11.1.5 and the default mode is 64 bit. If "Open in 32 bit mode" is checked and you cannot uncheck it are you logged on using an account with administrative priveleges?

  • I have just done a software update and now I can not open my itunes. How can I open itunes?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro os x, version 10.6.8
    While doing a software update, I was asked to quit itunes to download the update. Now I can not open itunes. The icon is still there, but it just bounces up and down when I click on it. What is happening there? And how can I open itunes? Do I need to down load itunes again?

    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Look at the Apple ID and the "YOU CAN BE REACHED..." entries. Make sure none of these are shared with your partner.

  • HT1926 Latest iTunes software wont completely download and now I can't open iTunes at all?

    Hi!   I really hope someone can help me with this-
    iTunes just had a popup that there was new software to install, so I chose the update to iTunes.  The download was almost finished, but then it stopped and said there was a problem with the download (obviously) and to try to install it from within the program.  Fine by me.  Only, I can't open iTunes now??  It tells me that, "The item refered to by this shortcut cannot be accessed.  You may not have the appropriate permissions." 
    I'm not even going to try and pretend that I know what that means, lol.  I searched my entire computer for iTunes and every shortcut/folder/etc with 'iTunes' in it gives me an error message of some sorts.  D:
    I even tried to re-download iTunes from this site, but it gets halfway and then gives me error message 2324. 
    What do I do from here?  I really don't want to uninstall iTunes (if it even still exists on my computer) because I'm afraid I'll all the modified song information that I just spent literately hours updating last week.  >_<
    -Sica

    Similar problem here.  iTunes11 notified me it was available.  However, auto-update failed.  So, I downloaded for manual update.  That failed with "permission" message.  I am administrator on this machine (WIN7).  I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue.  I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message.  So, I'm completely dead in the water.  Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?

  • Can't open itunes or quicktime

    About a month ago I tried to copy a dvd on my computer, turned out the dvd was in very bad shape and I couldn't do it. A few days later, I tried to open my iTunes and I got the message, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I can't remember how I discovered that my Quicktime was having problems, but when I tried to open Quicktime to see what was going on, it absolutely would not open. I've tried re-installing both. I've tried deleating both and re-installing, nothing works. I've actually only been able to delete Quicktime once. I keep getting an error message when I try to delete Quicktime. I'm not sure why I was able to once. I'm very frusterated and can't find my issue anywhere on the support site. Can some one help? I can't even find a phone number to call for help. Please help.

    An exception occurred while trying to run
    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:\Pro
    gramFiles\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cp\",QuickTime"
    OK
    It's looking for the QuickTime.cpl in the right
    place, so that rules out certain complications
    involved with installing a Codec Pack or another
    program containing non-standard "QuickTime"
    componentry.
    So let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp
    utility. then use it to clear any existing
    QuickTime installation configuration
    information from your PC (Launch CleanUp, find the
    QuickTime entry in the list of programs shown in
    CleanUp, select the QuickTime entry and click
    remove):
    Descrip
    tion of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files
    and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or
    double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click
    Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and
    QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into
    your PC by doing a repair install of
    itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications
    prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change"
    and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the
    PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch
    properly now?
    I tried your suggestion. I'm not very computer knowledgable, but I tried my best. I was able to install the Installer CleanUp Utility, which is where I thought I would have problems. So, I accomplished all that, I was able to make it all the way through deleting the QuickTime folder. When it came to navigating to the C:\Windows\system321. and remove the QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx. I had problems. I don't know if I was in the right area, but I went to the Local Disc and opened it, then opened the Windows folder, clicked on System32 and deleted anything pretaining to QuickTime. I re-started the computer, repaired the itunes file, with my antivirus off and re-started my computer again, but I still can't open itunes, I get the same message. I forgot to mention on my post that I don't know that much about computers, I just know the basics. But I do try to figure things out.

  • Just upgraded to vista and now can't open itunes

    I just upgraded to vista (what a pain) I have uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled itunes but I still can't open it. This is what happens. When I click on the itunes icon I get the licence agareement which I check agree and when it goes away I get an error message which says: "The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have tried clicking on the Itunes icon and have gone to itunes properties control panel and clicked on security and tried to get permission many times. After reading post's on this fourm I went to the itunes folder on my c drive and went to the same control panel and tried again but to no avail. I had no trouble with itunes on XP and have used it for years. Btw I can open Quicktime player but it will not play my video files (I don't care because quicktime is not my default player). but I can open it.
    I have an Ipod nano and I want to use it to listen to audio books but I can't load them onto it without itunes.
    Thanks for any help in advances

    Yes I still have a problem. This is what it is in a nutshell. With User Account Control on in vista I can't open itunes. I am not sure what happens when I try but here goes. First I have installed itunes into my computer and have an icon on my desktop. When I click on that icon the first thing that happens is that I get a licenses agreement which I accept. As soon as I accept the agreement it goes away and I get an error message that says “The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." The only option that the error message gives me is to say “OK”. When I click on the OK button on the error message it goes away and nothing else happens. Because of this problem I have uninstalled and installed itunes at least 5 times.
    I have tried to read as many post in this forum as I can trying to find a solutions to this problem but to no avail. I have also gone to the vista forum and have read as many posts as I can about itunes problems that are there but to no avail. I have tried many fixes that have not work except one. And that was “to turn off the User Account Control.” When I turned off this control I was able to open itunes for the first times. Since then I have opened itunes many times and use it to load my ipod. But when I turn on User Account Control I have the same problem and I can’t open itune. I am open to suggestions on how to fix this problem and at this time I am not sure what is wrong. I have tried my things trying to fix this problem but for all I know I might have does something wrong. So at point I will try anything that you suggest.

  • I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I Had this problem along with the error message that it's missing the driver GNSDK_DSP.DLL. I am Windows XP and fixed the error by going to Start>My Computer>Add or Remove Programs
    When the Add or Remove programs list is "populated", Find iTunes on it. Click the link that says "For more information" and the iTunes box will expand. You will see a button that says "Repair" and it says to reinstall the program if it is not working correctly, use the "Repair" button. I clicked the Repair button and it automatically started the reinstall. When all the progress bars disappear (it doesn't really give you any other indication that its done) click the "close" button and try to open iTunes again. It worked first time for me. I also saw another forum where someone said it worked for the other Windows versions by following the same route, just that in other windows versions it might be "Computer" instead of "My Computer" and the Add or Remove Programs function is also called something else. Hope this helps somebody having this problem. It drove me crazy finding the answer, but the fix was super simple once I found out what to do.
