  • Itunes updated, now it won't open.

    Itunes was updated and now it won't open. A box appears reading "New Itunes Library". What's going on?

    I had this and managed to fix it:
    Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Open the Terminal
    Run "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app"
    Re-install iTunes

  • I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (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.

    Just downloaded new iTunes, and now it won't open, Os10.6.8

    You did a d/l of the iTunes .dmg - did you install by opening the .dmg and following the dialogs?

  • My phone went into Factory settings when I plugged it into Itunes. Now it won't open up in Itunes to restore my info. What do I do?

    My Iphone went into Factory settings when I Synced it to Itunes. Now it won't open in Itunes to restore my info. What do I do?

    I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S.  The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening.  Suffice it to say I am not amused.  Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

  • Latest updates now mail won't open

    Down loaded the latest updates today now mail won't open??

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall any updates that may not have been installed properly. It may also be necessary to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
    Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
    Security Update 2007-003 for Mac OS X 10.3.9
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • Updated iTunes and now it won't open on my computer

    I just did the OS X update and then the iTunes update and now my iTunes won't open on my Mac mini. I click the icon and it doesn't do anything and I even tried opening it in my applications folder and it still won't come up. Is anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I fix it?

    I had this and managed to fix it:
    Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Open the Terminal
    Run "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app"

  • I just began to update my itunes and now it won't open

    Hi,
    My Itunes won't open when i click on in, at first it would do nothing but then when i tried to reinstall it and fix some errors with it, now it acts like its going to download something every time i click on it. What do i need to do so that i can make my itunes work normally again?

    Try opening iTunes in "Safe Mode" (without external plug-ins) and see it the problem persists. To do this press Command+Option (while opening iTunes).
    If you decide to remove a plug-in, they are in your Library folder -> iTunes folder -> iTunes Plug-Ins.

  • HELP!  I downloaded the newest version of iTunes and now it won't open.

    Hello, Everyone--any help you could give would be greatly appreciated since I am freaking out a bit about this!
    I have had iTunes since April when I got my iPod mini. I have downloaded the newer version of iTunes any time it has prompted me to do so when I open iTunes.
    So, tonight it tells me there is a newer version. I download it just like always, but this time, when I double click on iTunes, nothing happens. So, I read some of the other posts on here and followed some of the directions like going in to the add/remove hardware and seeing if it's there and then repairing it. I did just that--it's there and it repaired it, but to no avail. I am stressing out now. Now, when I go to shut down my computer, it takes several minutes to shut down--and it never did that before. My computer is newer and was working fine until this happened. Yes, Quicktime appears to be working fine. I am just wondering if I did something wrong or if there is a HUGE flaw with this new iTunes version since it would appear others are also experiencing technical difficulties. Any help any of you could give would be greatly appreciated! I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with the Windows XP operating system. And once again, I have never had problems with iTunes until today. Oh--and when I plug in my iPod, that doesn't pull iTunes up either now. HELP!!!
    Thank You,
    Alexis

    I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
    Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
    I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
    I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
    And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

  • I just updated my itunes and now it won't open.

    I've been having multiple problems with my computer, every time it asks me to update I do. But when i updated my itunes about a week ago while it was re importing all my files it closes and says :
    The application iTunes quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the 3ivxVideoCodec plug-in.
    then it asks me if i want to relaunch report or ignore, so the first time i clicked ignore, then this kept happening, finally i reported it, and i've been getting ****** cause nothing is working and i would appreciate it if i could get some help and get my iMac running smothly with no problems again!
    so please help.

    Try opening iTunes in "Safe Mode" (without external plug-ins) and see it the problem persists. To do this press Command+Option (while opening iTunes).
    If you decide to remove a plug-in, they are in your Library folder -> iTunes folder -> iTunes Plug-Ins.

  • I updated iTunes and now it won't open after reboot.  Keeps being forced closed as soon as device is connected or open from programs menu?

    This didn't happen until after I was attempting to restore my iPad.  Restore was unsuccessful.  It suggested I make sure I was up to date on upgrades and restart.  I did and now it won't start again so I can attempt to restore my iPad.

    Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • I downloaded a new version of iTunes and now Firefox won't open iTunes

    I loaded new version of iTunes and Safari. When system restarted - iTunes won't open. I deleted Safari - still no go.

    I'm having this issue as well. Anytime I click on items that would normally open in Itunes, it tells me I need to install Itunes. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes to no avail. In looking in Firefox's preferences, there's no reference to Itunes in the Applications tab.

  • Did the iTunes update & now it won't work at all!

    I downloaded the iTunes update 2 days ago, and now iTunes won't work because it needs 10.4.9+ & all I have is 10.4.8
    I tried to download the 'Combo' 10.4.11 but it crashed my system (the 'Restart' hung with turning wheel for over 2 hours) & I had to reboot from disk at the cost of several hours.
    I only use iTunes for listening to the radio worldwide, nothing else. I have no iPod, have no purchased music.
    Is there any way to uninstall the update? iTunes was just fine for me before the update.
    Or, is there any way to install the 10.4.11 from a friend's disks? - since it's just an 'Update' which is available online, it doesn't sound like it would be illegal, but I want to keep "Kosher". I am assuming that even though the downloaded update crashed my system, loading from disk should work.
    Any help would be appreciated - I am not very computer literate, so the simpler the better!

    Finally solved the problem by going back to an older version of iTunes, which I found on FileHippo.com - I chose version 7.0 since I had no idea what older version I used to have.
    The uninstall was the hard part, but these instructions did the trick:
    http://www.oldapps.com/forum/showpost.php?p=925&postcount=34
    Even then, when I got the "iTunesSetup.exe", clicking on it got the message:"iTunes library cannot be read because it was created by a later version of iTunes". Apparently some fragment of the "update was hiding somewhere.
    I finally solved this by right-clicking (option+click) on it.
    So now I have iTunes back & have no need for the "Combo Update"
    At this point, having had a week of frustration from that worse-than-useless "Update", I have no intention of messing with any more "Updates". This computer is, and will remain a 10.4.8 machine.
