HELP Itunes wont launch after upgrading

I downloaded the latest Itunes, and then tried to launch it.
I keep getting the following message
"error getting file security :\C\program files\get last error 5
I have even tried to remove I tunes through the add & remove section in the control panel, but this also does not allow me to do this and i get the same message.
Can someone help ???

I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
some preliminary questions.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Soundtrack wont launch after upgrade to FCE 4

    After upgrading to Final Cut Express 4, my soundtrack app from a previous version of FCE does not launch, I get a "Soundtrack quit unexpectedly" error. I tried to reinstall soundtrack from my original DVD but that changed nothing. I took it to the Apple store and they told me that since I upgrade to FCE 4, my old version of soundtrack will no longer work since that is not included with FCE anymore (only the studio version). However, I found an apple support page that says Soundtrack will be left unchanged (http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Express_4.0rn/).
    Anyone have any ideas? thanks

    I found some other threads talking about it, saying that the problem is with the last ProKit update which came a few months ago. Others suggested installing the old prokit, which seemed to work for some but did not for me. And also, when I installed the old prokit, Aperture stopped working for me so that was no good. I went to the Apple store and they were no help either... So in other words, no I didnt figure it out. Please let me know if you do though

  • Help does not launch after upgrading from RH5 to RH7

    My problem is similar to CaroMe1's. Topics within chm files
    created using RH5 and integrated into our software product launch
    correctly when a Help button is clicked on a dialog. After
    upgrading to RH7, using the the same project files, chm files
    created using RH7 do not launch at all; that is, nothing happens
    when a Help button is clicked on any dialog.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    The .chm filename and the .xpj filename are the same.
    Sorry if I was swerving and incoherent! I probably shouldn't
    have posted after traveling and no sleep!
    Here is how I tested for the source of this problem:
    1. I created a .chm file using RH 5, integrated it into our
    product, clicked on the Help button on any of our dialogs, and the
    appropriate Help topic displayed.
    2. I created a .chm file using RH 7 (using the exact same
    project files as in the previous step), integrated it into our
    product, clicked on the Help button on any of our dialogs, and
    nothing happened. No topic, no Help. Nothing.
    Is that a better description of the problem? (I hope)
    Thanks again!

  • Itunes wont start after upgrading for iPhone

    has anyone had this problem after upgrading itunes? I downloaded the new software and it appears to install fine (I even restarted my laptop) but when I click on itunes or quicktime, nothing happens. I've checked the processes list to see if its running and it shows that applemobiledevice.exe, ipodservice.exe, launchapplication.exe ituneshelper.exe are running. can anyone help? I'd really like to sync my calendar and contacts.
    thanks

    Hi chrisr2sf;
    Since this is the iPhone forum where you posted you might have more response if you post over in the iTunes for Windows forum instead.

  • 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.

  • Itunes wont launch after agreeing to TOS

    *click on itunes logo after installation complete > TOS comes up > clicks on agree > window closes and nothing else happens.*
    itunes.exe simply disappears from both the applications and the proccesses in the task manager.
    this is the first itunes install and launch after i bought an ipod touch.
    im running win 7 ultimate 64bit ; itunes latest ver, DL'd from official site (apple)
    tried launching in safe boot, admin mode, nothing works
    if this problem cannot be fixed, what are some alternatives to itunes, can they be used w/o setting the ipod touch up with itunes??
    im pretty frustrated atm ._.
    ty guise in advance xoxo

    Lets try and see whether this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?

  • HELP! ITunes wont open after Upgrade.

    I upgraded the new version of ITunes our of stupidity and it ruined my life. Itunes now wont open. I have tried removing it and re-downloading. I have restarted it and tried everything possible that the support screens say. PLEASE HELP!

    Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
    top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
    - turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
    - installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    - setting up Norton to allow iTunes
    - scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
    - last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

    Post back with any questions or your solution.

  • Itunes wont open after upgrading

    I upgraded to the newest version of itunes and now when i try to open it it pops up and says:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    We are sorry for the inconvience
    After that it asks if you want to see what the error report contains and when i click that it says:
    The fowoling files will be included in this error report:
    C:\DOCUME~1\Rich\LOCALS~1\Temp\38de_appcompat.txt
    Can anyone help?
    I am running Windows XP SP2 if that helps

    you run no antivirus at all?
    thats a dangerous game of russian roullette. you probably have malware, spyware, adware blocking you from opening iTunes. This is not uncommon and there is a variant of malware attacking Windows computers that is making this errorless launch of iTunes.
    The number one rule of owning a Windows PC that accesses the internet is to have programs that will scan and remove malware, viruses, and spyware. You MUST run these scans AT least twice a week.
    Go download these free programs and clean your PC, then your iTunes should open.
    1. EWIDO-a free malware scanner and remover tool
    2. LavaSoft's AdAware-will scan and remove syware, adware
    3. AVG Free-will scan and remove viruses
    4. SpyBot S&D-will also remove spyware
    IF your computer is heavily infested, as I suspect yours is, your computer will take HOURS to do this, but its worth it. Also, you may want to go to TrendMicro's website and use their HouseCall scanner. It will scan and remove stuff of your PC via the internet.
    You may have to boot into SafeMode and use these programs.
    Good Luck and report back once your scans have completed.
    PS. It is important to run more than one AntiSpyWare program because each program will catch what another program misses. Spyware will slow your system down tremendously. I suggest a spyware scan several times a week

    Installed the upgrade for iTunes and now it wont open at all. Clicked on the icon, clicked long on the icon and chose open, and lastly tried to open from applications but I get nothing. Not even an error message. Just a blink of the screen. Please help! I have a iMac version 10.6.8

  • Applications wont launch after upgrading to 10.5.8!!!!

    Quark 7, 8, Word, Adobe Photoshop won't launch. Splash screen for program comes up, spinning beach ball. If you go to Force Quit, it says the application isn't responding!!
    Its an iMac G5 2GHz with 4GB of ram. What on earth has happened???? Machine was running 10.4 beforehand and now its useless. HELP!!!!!! Disk permissions repaired minor items. Disk first aid says disk is ok.

    Exactly how did you upgrade from Tiger to Leopard? It sounds like you did so when your existing Tiger system was dysfunctional. I suggest you do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    You can do this using either Tiger or Leopard. If you want to install Leopard then do the above from the Leopard installer DVD.
