Can't open itunes or reload from startup discs

Is there someone who has experienced this ? I have looked through days worth of forums questions and answers, seen patchburn recommended and not recommended, I have tried almost all remedies including deleting all my preferences. My problem started when I clicked on itunes and it wouldn't open. I am on a brand new iMac, I tried finding out all the pertinent information but I can't get that to open either. I am unable to burn any disc, let alone a back up disc, and since my frustration level is so high I even tried to reload OSX and software without backing up..... Yup you're right, I couldn't open the file to get that either. My CD/DVD drive will show me the files on an already burnt disc but won't recognize a new disc, the lovely 0x80020025 error appears. I can see this isn't a unique problem, however, the proposed solutions don't seem to do me any good. Am I going to have to take this back ??

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
My CD/DVD drive will show me the files on an already burnt disc but won't recognize a new disc, the lovely 0x80020025 error appears.
This is strange, since that error refers to your drive, not the disc (media):
Error 0x80020025 kDRDeviceNotSupportedErr "Device is not supported for the requested burn operation."
There are separate error codes for problems with the media, in the range 0x80020040 to 0x80020045.
I am on a brand new iMac … Am I going to have to take this back ??
I think you (almost) answered your own question. That is what I would do.
Edit: I'm not familiar with your iMac, but does it have a SuperDrive? If it is only a Combo drive, that could explain why you get this.

No one can help you here, because you jailbroke the iPad. You should go to one of their forums. Good luck, because Apple doesn't honor the warranty anymore.

I can't open iTunes from iPad 2

I can't open iTunes from iPad 2 can you help....?

I can't either! I'm currently connected to Wi-fi but it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store. But safari works just fine. I don't know what's going on, but it's annoying me. Maybe they're updating a server or something? Idk I'm new to iTunes. I hope they fix it, what ever it is.

Hv first version of iPad , it's upgraded upto 5.0. Now I hv iPad 2. Both Hv iCloud, but my songs from old iPad r not getting shifted in my iPad 2. Can't open iTunes Store in both devices. Help.

Hi! I hv both 1st ipad& ipad2. I hv some music in my 1st iPad, that is not transferred in my new ipad2 via iCloud. Can' t open iTunes stores.

Just think of the third problem. I can't do backup neither, so I dare not restore my iPad to its default as I didn't do the backup the moment before upgrading it to iOS 7 (which I regret very much now). I have trusted Apple for years and didn't think of such problems could happen after iOS upgrade.

After setup I can't open itunes

After the setup I can't open itunes:( Please, help!

This sounds like your shortcut is still pointing to iTunes 7 (assuming you upgraded to version 8). Find the version 8 application and it should work.
The problem with the Mac version 8 is that it crashes consistently at startup, and the solution to that is ditching the new library files and reverting to the most recent version 7 library (copy from from the Previous iTunes Library directory and delete the date suffix).
There was a known issue with proxies settings in earlier versions of 7 that has apparently been reintroduced in version 8.
Way to go, Apple.

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5.

I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, but when I download the upgrade it won't install over my QuickTime Pro 7.2.1. How do I upgrade QT so it'll be compatible with my iTunes?
-Rob

BDA and TMM,
Excellent thanks. I've got iTunes working now, after downloading the latest version of iTunes by clicking Software Update from the Apple menu. And I downloaded QuickTime 7.7 from the links you recommended, BDA. For some reason I'd been unable to locate the latest QT for Leopard no matter how hard I tried—it was probably staring me in the face all the while.
Much appreciated,
-Rob

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?

I can't open iTunes in Windows 7

I can't open iTunes in Windows 7 even I download the latest version.
(iPhone is iOS 5.0.1)
It's 64-bit Windows 7 and every time I clicked "Agree" in tthe software license, it doesn't work.
Then the PC helping centre shows the following sentence:
"iTunes can not work normally anymore.iTunes has the latest version to download, this will solve the problem.Apple Inc. suggest you to upgrade to newest version of iTunes, to improve the safety and stability."
This shows for many times and I keep upgrade iTunes.How to solve this problem?
P.S. Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.The sentence is translated by me from Chinese, hope you can know what I mean.

There are various things this could be. First restart you computer
Check to see if you QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it. If it doesn't work, describe what happens.
Then run a virus and spyware scan as malware has been known to do this.
Then check to see if disabling your forewall allows iTunes to start, this hasn't been seen for a while, but in the past firwall blocking has caused iTunes to hang.
Then work through this Apple help on troubleshooting launch failures;

Hi gingerjacker,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you restart your Mac and try again? Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy. This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.

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.
