Help me cure my installation upgrade issues -- itunes doesn't work!

After installing the update (6) of iTunes, all I was getting was the brief flash of the program that others described. I have read through the various postings and have tried...
the various cures, such as deleting files and deleting Norton (even though I have anti virus, not Internet security), checking the task manager, deleting the SC Info.sidb file, I tried installing Quick Time indepedent from iTunes, I tried installing an older version (4) of itunes after deleting qt and itunes, and now that doesn't work.
Any ideas would be most appreciated!

Thanks for your suggestions, but somehow I fixed it. After all of the failures to successfully install it, and deleting all prior and current versions, and deleting Norton Anti Virus, and checking the task manager, and looking at the msconfig... I then downloaded version 6 with explore, instead of netscape, and instead of saving it to the hard drive, I just elected to open the program. And... it worked! I have no idea if this is going to work for anyone else, but after 3 days of tinkering, this is the only thing that worked for me.

ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

What printer are you using? Is it listed here:

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 sync with iTunes doesn't work

After upgrade iPhone 6, iPad Air to IOS 8.3, the sync (over wifi, as well) to iTunes doesn't work anymore.
On iMAC iTunes, the last sync's hour and day appear different from what is recorded on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad); with IOS 8.2 and the previous iTunes' version the sync worked correctly: the dates are the same only for few seconds after syncronization, then the IOS devices show the syncronization's dates related to two weeks ago.
Thanks

you'll need to contact your carrier.

Itunes doesn't work on windows 8.1

after the upgrade to windows 8.1 (I have a HP Henvy H9 x64), itunes doesn't work. I unistalled all the apple software; I restarted the PC and then I installed again itunes (the last version 11.1.5 x64). When the installation finish and I start itunes give me this error "impossible to find the file c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe". Verify that the filename is correct and try again.".
Somebody could help me? Thanks

Hello Lorenzo 1972,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes even after a fresh install with the error that it cannot find the iTunes.exe file. That path, c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe leads to the 32 bit program folder for iTunes. If you are using a shortcut you had on the desktop pre install, try going to C:\program files\itunes\ and finding the iTunes.exe file there.
If not it sounds like iTunes may be installing a damaged copy of the 32 bit version of the application, so I would recommend the following article to help you get any old installation files out so you can install the 64 bit version fresh:

The above requested information can be found on the side, back, or bottom of your computer.
Most driver packages available from most computer manufacturers and chipset providers contain setup information for both 32 and 64 bit operating systems. The installer determines the version to install based on the indentified operating system. This is an industry wide pratice and nothing is wrong.

Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my mac to 7.0 now itunes doesn't work

Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my iMac to 7.0 now iTunes doesn't work. My iMac and iPhone will not sync. It just says waiting to start sync, step 1 of 6 for hours.
Any ideas?

Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue.

"itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" Now Itunes doesn't work on my windows 7 machine. What to do?

I have a Windows 7 system. ITunes used to work fine. Recently I am getting a message:
"ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
I have reloaded and repaired ITunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. Nothing works.
Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine. Anybody?

Hey there bogusss,
I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
Resolution
QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.

My itunes doesn't work after installing lion 10.7. I even downloaded the updated version of itunes, does anyone know what to do?

itunes doesn't work anymore

My itunes was working fine until we try to connect a new ipod touch. It said I needed to update the itunes to 10.5 or higher.

Also I was looking for alternative software in case I can't make it work. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you and I am sorry I cant be helpful yet.

ITunes funktioniert nicht mehr / iTunes doesn't work any longer

Hallo liebe Community,
ich habe seit gestern ein sehr ärgerliches Problem mit iTunes.
Seit gestern kann ich zwar iTunes noch öffnen, jedoch kommt bei jeglichem Versuch eine Verbindung mit dem iTunes Store herzustellen (sei es über iTunes Match oder Store oder meinen Account) die Windows 8.1 Fehlermeldung "iTunes funktioniert nicht mehr". Jegliche Versuche danach noch was zu machen schlagen fehl da sich das Programm dann automatisch schließt.
Was habe ich bis jetzt getan:
- einfache Neuinstallation
- komplette Neuinstallation (mit jeglicher Apple Software die auf meinem Pc war/ist)
- Bereinigung und Überprüfung des Pc's
- 1 Tag warten
- an und abmelden vom iTunes Store (war nur möglich bevor das Problem aufgetreten ist)
Nichts hat geholfen. Und jetzt habe ich einen Pc ohne Musik und allem anderen, weil alles in meiner iCloud ist. Kennt wer das Problem und kann mir zufällig helfen? Sämtliche Beiträge in den Apple Foren sowie in den Foren, die man durch Google findet, helfen nichts...und ja, ich habe die vorgeschlagenen Sachen ausprobiert.
daer community,
since yesterday it's still possible to open iTunes but at any try to get a connection to the iTunes Store (no metter if i try it through iTunes Match or Store or my iTunes Account) i'll get the Windows 8.1 error massage "iTunes doesn't work any longer". Any tries to do something after the error massage are useless because iTunes get closed by hisself.
What i've already done:
- simple reinstallation
- complete reinstallation (reinstalled all Apple softwares i've got at my pc)
- cleaned and checked my pc
- waited 1 day
- logged out and in at the iTunes Store (this was just possible before the problem appeard)
Nothing helped. And now i've got a pc without music and everything that i get from iTunes because all is in my iCloud. Does anyone know this problem and could help me solving it? All posts in the Apple forums and the forums you'll find with the google search are useless...and yes, i tried them all.
Vielen Dank,
Thanks,
Dominik

This solved my problem after even the Apple Support couldn't help me!

ITunes doesn't work on my laptop

ITunes doesn't work on my laptop. I tried older versions also. It gets stuck once I open it. I have Windows 7

Try working through this problesooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
You need to establish if the problem is account specific or system wide and then check through the approriate section.
As a shot in the dark, some people have found the follow procedutre helps:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
4. Reboot your machine.
5. Restart iTunes.

ITunes doesn't work anymore!

iTunes doesn't work. When I open it, it takes forever, and then I just get the pinwheel. And, the rest of my computer is frozen. I've erased the iTunes preferences. I've opened an older library, and it's still totally gummed up.
This all started when I tried to update my wife's iPhone. I was in the middle of downloading the update, but then I cancelled because we had to leave. When I returned home, iTunes was messed up.
Help!!

Let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time:
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any 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 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?

Creating a new library with 'Shift/Start iTunes' doesn't work

I'm trying to start a new library, but pressing Shift when I start itunes doesn't work. It takes me to my existing library.
I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, and completely deleted any other libraries.
Any ideas how I can start a new library any other way?

Thanks, that didn't work the first time but did work the second.
Perhaps I wasn't holding the shift key long enough - you presumably must keep holding it until the 'choose library' dialog actually pops up. I was releasing it after I'd clicked the 'start itunes' button.

There's a glitch somewhere. iphoto just wont open. upgraded to yosemite and downloaded iPhoto upgrader and it doesn't work, just keeps telling me to upgrade when I did already or quit, so no way to do photos on this brand new mac. that's a pity!!

You need to have iPhoto 11 v9.6 (which you can get from the App Store) to use iPhoto on Yosemite. If you already have iPhoto 11 then the update is free. Otherwise it's a purchase.
