Downloaded itunes 7.5 on Tiger, iTunes REFUSES to open

I currently have OSX Tiger for my MacBook Pro. I upgraded my iTunes music library to v7.5 recently, but since I've done that, my iTunes has refused to open. A window pops up telling me I have to download the new OSX Leopard! What? So I went to HD>Library>Reciepts, and deleted itunesX.pkg, thinking the recent update would eliminate itself. Well, nothings happened. Plain, and simple, I would like my music library back without having to pay for Leopard. What's the deal?

You first have to update your OS X 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 or better, then click on this latest info link from Apple, plus the additional link "Recreate" that is posted within this document.

ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000b77d
Does anyone can help?
Thanks

Hi assafhar and Saganic0
1 Try delete c:\program files\iTunes (all);
2 Try install older version of iTunes;
3 desinstall it;
4 format your ipod (in my computer)
5 install again.
good luck, its a strange problem, maybe you have bad info in your iPod, and you have a conflit...

Downloads from iTunes on my macbook air do not download on my desktop but remain in iTunes folder which refuse to open for use.

I couldn't get downloads from iTunes to be on the desktop of my Macbook air but they remain in iTunes folder and refuse to open for use. What am I to do?

Downloads of what? Songs? Apps? Books?
If you're talking about apps, then you have downloaded iOS apps which are intended to run on an iPhone or iPad, not a Mac.

My Itune's refuses to open, what can I do to fix this problem?

I've had my iPod mini for almost a year now, and just yesterday my friend had bought me a new iPod. So I plugged it in and it said I needed a higher version of Itunes so, so I went and downloaded that from the site. But after Itunes worked for 15 minutes I had to shut the computer off, and when I came back on Itunes refused to open. Instead I got one of those error messages and it said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." But my question was how can iTunes be forced to close if it hasn't even opened? I've tried repairing it several times and have failed. I've also deleted and reinstalled it and have failed. I tried reinstalling it again by using the disk that came with the iPod, and failed. Lastly I did that edwo malware remover scan, but still my Itunes is not opening. How can I fix this problem? Please help.

Try to go through the set up once again.
If that doesnt work, check your virus protection and under internet apps or some such thing, make sure itunes is not blocked from the internet.
Most cases it's not the internet that's the issue it's the program itself, but if this is bugging you, I suggest you at least make sure.

My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically. Any thoughts?

My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically (I had been trying to open it just before by clicking on a song file in my Documents window, and that's the song that started playing when the pc woke up). I went to my iTunes Help and clicked Updates/download iTunes 10.7 twice, but got nothing. Now, Im wondering if I should downloacd the entire 10.7, or whether that would overwrite all my files, erasing my songs. Anybody know? Thanks.

Hey thanks for replying.
Here's what I did:
First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

Upgraded to Tiger, iTunes no longer works

I updated iTunes when it popped up in Software Update a week or two ago. I upgraded to Tiger tonight from 10.3.9. Before the update to Tiger, iTunes worked fine in 10.3.9. Now it does nothing at all. When I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces once and then nothing.
I found on another post where someone suggested trashing the com.apple.iTunes.plist from the Users>Library>Prefs folder. No luck there either. I haven't moved any of my music or the library for the exception of backing it up to a external FW drive.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I've downloaded and installed iTunes 7 from VersionTracker. That did the trick!

HT1152 I downloaded the most recent version of itunes and now I cannot burn CDs....the CD burner and drive are gone....any help???

Yesterday I downloaded the most recent version of itunes and created a playlist....i was unable to burn it to a CD. Message was there was no burner...it's like the entire drive is missing from my computer. My computer tech guy said the same thing happened to him but he hasn't found the fix yet. Any help???

Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.
Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
Well, that's about it..
I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.
Best Regards,

ITunes Refuses to Open. No Joke.

I have spent a month following every possible suggestion given, and nothing seems to work. My problem started when I downloaded the updated version of iTunes...Ever since then, it refuses to open. Can someone please help me before I throw my laptop into the river? (I'm training for a marathon and I really need new music)

I, too, am experiencing the same problem. Nothing helps. I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Bounjour, etc. 3-4 times. I've de-activated my anti-virus/spyware software (not Norton). I've done selective start-up (turning off most services/start up software). I've started up as a different user.
I was on the phone with Apple for 2+ hours uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting specific configuration files.
Nothing has helped.
I start up iTunes, and when I look in Task Manager, iTunes.exe is running,first using some CPU, then, after about 10 seconds, using no CPU, and iTunes does not launch.
Has anyone found a solution yet?

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

I recently downloaded lots of CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. None of the downloads are appearing on my ipad or iphone. All settings are correct. Anything I purchase on itunes shows up in the cloud on all the devices.

I downloaded CD's to my itunes library. I have itunes match. All my itunes purchased music is on my ipad and iphone cloud. For some reason, while the cloud appears in my library, the CD's that I downloaded (popular ones that itunes recognize) are not showing up on my ipad2 and my iphone4s. When I purchase songs from itunes directly they show up on all i devices (with the cloud icon). In my itunes library all the new downloads from CD's have the icloud icon. However, none of these downloads are showing up on my ipad and iphone as stated above. All my settings are correct. I am sure I am missing something, but not sure what....if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. thanks.
