HT2311 Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: What to do??

Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: WHAT TO DO?
Recently I updated to Snow Leopard from 10.5.8  and then updated to 10.6.8. The recent update to itunes 10.7 has completely failed as iTunes fails to boot up and just send a message to Apple. So now I cannot access my music library. I tried deleting the new iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling iTunes 10.6.3 and also 10.3.1 with exactly the same result. I did the installation after turning off as many background software items as I could like Sophos Anti Virus and Little Snitch. This makes one want to give up on software updates - I have had an increasing number of failures as my machine gets to 5 years old.
Macbook:
Model: MacBook3,1, BootROM MB31.008E.B02, 2 processors, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2 GHz, 4 GB, SMC 1.24f3
Graphics: Intel GMA X3100, GMA X3100, Built-In, 144 MB

OK  - I have found my own fix in an older thread / discussion:-
iTunes 10 for Mac: May quit unexpectedly on launch
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3494
basically from home/Library/Quicktime one has to remove the file: DesktopVideoOut.component
Is this to do with Flip4Mac?

  • TS1363 Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes

    Since the last iTunes update my iPod will not connect to iTunes. My computer recognizes it but as soon as I launch iTunes I get the error message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.

    Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?

    Help.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

  • Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google

    Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google, an error message comes up saying safari cannot connect to the server.  Can anyone help me with this please?

    Hi Joshua ..
    Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If that wasn't the issue, try using OpenDNS.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, prevents the, "can't connect to server" issue, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser re directs, and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

  • Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. I am using Lion.

    I am using Lion and Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. It goes into an ongoing loop that only allows a force quit. I repaired permissions but it didn't help. The only way to upgrade my OS for ipod is through Itunes on the computer!

    It looks like the iPhoto window but stays on a blank white screen with the spinning ball. I have to force quit to stop it.

  • Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
    I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

  • Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi
    Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
    While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
    cheers

  • Just purchased Imac running Lion - doc. and cwk. extensions will not open            . whats the fix?

    just purchased Imac running Lion - doc. and cwk. extensions will not open. whats the fix?

    Pages 4.3 is the most recent, but no matter. If Pages cannot open it, there are many other programs that may be able to. Some of them are free.
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    Try TextEdit also. It is included in OS X.
    If you are trying to open the document by double-clicking it, don't, since the Finder may be looking for a program that is no longer installed. Use Pages' File > Open... menu. The same recommendation applies to using any of the above alternatives - use their File > Open menu.
    The least attractive alternative is to purchase Microsoft Word, but I have been completely Microsoft-free since updating to Lion.

  • My sim tray is locked, and whenever I put the sim eject tool in the hole beside it, it will not open, what should i do?

    My sim tray is locked, and whenever I put the sim eject tool in the hole beside it, it will not open, what should i do?

    Use a small thin piece of plastic (metal tools are likely to scratch the case)  and work along the seams of the tray. In all likelihood your tool is unlocking it but the tray itself is a bit gummed up, jammed.  Be patient, don't force things, and you'll probably get it open in short order.
