HT1349 My iTunes will not launch from my desktop PC.
I've been having trouble with my iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista)... it won't launch. Sometimes, if I shut down and restart, it will open maybe once, then it will continue to not respond.
Solutions?
Uncle Thumbs, does yours also show the pen and pencil icon? If not, it is not the same problem.

anybody got any ideas ??? won't launch from desktop
Thanks. I read that link before posting here but I wasn't able to do the first part because iTunes will not ever open for me to start it in Safe mode.
Since I posted yesterday, "something" I did must have worked (but I don't know what exactly because I think I didn't do anything). But iTunes just randomly appeared on the system tray yesterday afternoon. It wouldn't open by clicking on it, so I tried to Ctl-Alt-Del to close it, thinking I'd at least get some errors to view in the log, but then about a half hour after I had tried to close it through Ctl-Alt-Del, it actually opened. It still doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S though. If I get that to start working I'll update again. -
Windows server 2012 r2 vm will not launch from RemoteApp & Desktop connection page
I have setup a RDS test lab and created a un-managed pooled collection which has a server 2012 r2 desktop vm and a windows 8.1 desktop vm. I can launch the windows 8.1 vm through RDWeb access page but I can not launch the server 2012 r2 vm. Can a server
2012 r2 vm be brokered through the connection broker and launched from RDWeb?Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does server 2012 R2 VM created succefully and can you access through remote session (not through RD Web Access)?
If possible for a try create a new VM and check the related setting with new user account and then access them whether it resolve your issue. you can refer below article to create VDI.

Itunes will not launch, it shows message of "itunes library .itl" can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I tried opene it in save mode but I had the same problem.
If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:

Good luck & happy computing!
ps: i see you resolved this issue. it's magic! -
ITunes will not Launch 10.6 Snow Leopard
I just upgraded to 10.6 last night and now my iTunes will not launch. I removed all my extra plugins and am trying to start fresh. Here's the error message that pops up in the Console:
8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] [Deprecated] CocoaJava: com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime
8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] -[NSJavaVirtualMachine initWithClassPath:] FATAL: cannot initialize ObjCJava. Exit
8/29/09 10:26:15 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[237] ([0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902]) Exited with exit code: 255
Any ideas?OK, this solution worked for me:
Quit all programs, force-quit iTunes if it is locked up.
Disconnect any iPhone or iPods
Go to: Macintosh HD/users/"your user name"/library/preferences, and drag to trash the preference panels: with itunes in the name: including>com.apple.iTunes.plist, com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
Download iTunes 8.2.1 from theApple website,
Run the iTunes 8.2.1 installer
It will have you set up iTunes as if for the first time.
Launch iTunes after it is set up, it will take a bit as it creates new prefence files.
Quit iTunes>restart the mac>Launch iTunes and after it loads plug in your iPod or iPhone. -
Yosemite working but iTunes will not launch
Finally got Yosemite running OK on my MBP even though I could not redownload it from the App Store. iTunes has not been working through this whole ordeal so that is not surprising (I thought). But I just did a complete download of the Yosemite Installer so they must be separate. iTunes will not launch. The icon is in the Dock and it will bounce three times when I click it but it won't launch/open. Can this be fixed by launching the Yosemite Install app now in my Application folder? I haven't found a way to download/reinstall iTunes separately. I had/have iTunes 12.0.1.
I have had this problem, I even went into package contents to Macos folder, ane when I launched from there, it seems that Itunes is not conecting to a server, and hence times out with the spinning wheel of death so no matter how many tiles i uninstall and re install, it keeps coming back to this?

SW upgrade wiped out my iTunes library and also now iTunes will not launch
I just completed the recommended Sw upgrade for iTunes and now iTunes will not launch and my iTunes library is TOTALLY EMPTY.
Clearly, I am NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. I have lost a substantial investment of $$ and time in losing my iTunes library - so Apple should be paying me for my loss.
I need help, can you, will you help me? I want my iTunes library back and I'd like to reinstall the previous version of iTunes, because it worked fine.
Barbara Bowen
Apple, 1983-1993You don't say which versions so we don't know to which version you wish to revert. Reverting won't get back your library anyway, if it is truly gone.
Have you checked if your library is truly gone? Have you looked in the iTunes folder and the media folder inside of it? The library has two main components, all the media files for the individual tracks and the iTunes Library.itl file which give them the structure you see in iTunes. Sometimes iTunes just loses track of the library file which can be re-linked, and what's really important anyway are the media files.
If the library is truly gone you can restore it from the backups you make of your computer. Backups are a responsibility of any computer owner ever since computers were invented. If you don't have backups then it may be possible to redownload items purchased from the iTunes Store.
I know I have glossed over some of this but it's not worth going into details on how to do all the different things until we know precisely what it is that needs doing. -

After loading Maverick iTunes will not launch. I get an error code: -45054. I am the administrator and have no groups or guests. Sharing options don't fix this. Also Fetch will not launch, I get error code: SSL error 9807. These worked perfectly before installing Maverick. Also everything that loads, all programs, take twice as long to load. I have MacKeeper and have cleaned and discarded all the garbage.
Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash. -

ITunes will not launch or upgrade
When I attempt to launch iTunes, I get an error message of "Problem with Shortcut: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The program will not launch from the icon, from the start menu or when I connect my iPhone.
I also cannot complete an upgrade of iTunes, as it hangs on the install feature. It will not replace previous iTunes.msi files and will not let me redirect it to a new location.
Help please!Download the Windows Install Clean-up.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then go to the list of Programs on your computer and find the Windows Install Cleanup. It will be listed at the end of the list of programs starting with "Windows". Open it and remove the following programs form the list by using the Ctrl tab on your computer to highlight these programs (If there are more than 1 version listed, remove all versions): iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bon Jour, and Apple Application Support. Remove these programs. After these programs are removed, go to iTunes website and download the new version of iTunes. You do not need to restart your computer. This worked like a charm for me!
