I can't open i tunes, I've followed the instructions given on this site but it still won't open

I can't open I tunes, I've folowed the instructions given on this site but it still won't open. Any alternative suggestions?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Storeand turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • I was recently given an ipod touch and the only screen it will show is a usb cable and itunes symbol. I've tried the troubleshooting stuff on this website but it still won't work. Any ideas as to how i can fix this?

    My Ipod touch only shows a usb wire and itunes symbol when i turn it on. it does not show up on my itunes or in my computer. ive tried the troubleshooting stuff(reseting the ipod, reinstalling the newest itunes, restarting the computer) and nothing has changed. my ipod shuffle connects to my itunes just fine though.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

  • ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

    iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open.  I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck.  I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it.  Can someone help?

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • HT5037 The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.

    The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.

    Your Library is damaged.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    As for goign back: do you have an undamaged library?

  • Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

    Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
    won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

    yes;
    I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
    I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

    Is this your issue >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    If so...
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • I can't get it to set a blank home page, and the instructions given for this don't work.

    The instructions say that if you want a blank home page, you should open a new tab, then click on the icon to the left of the space where the website name would be and drag it to the Home icon. Unfortunately, when I click on that icon, I can't grab and move it.

    Instructions work for me that you describe from
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
    perhaps drag the mouse a little faster.
    You could just just use '''about:blank''' as your home page

  • Added new file but type still won't open in CS5

    I would like CS5 to be able to open .m3u files as text files. I have added M3U into the Extensions.txt in my C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt, and the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Extensions.txt files. I've also added it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml file.  I have tried this two different ways: one by adding M3U as an addition TXT file, and the other as a completely new type.
    In both cases, I can do File\Open and it lists my type (either Text Files (*.txt; *.m3u) or M3U Files (*.m3u)), but when I try to open a file with .m3u extension I get "Dreamweaver can't open .m3u files. Please choose an HTML, XML, or other compatible file."
    Is there some other location I need to change this? Or is there somewhere to tell CS5 to open unrecgonized file types as text (the way Dreamweaver 8 used to work)?

    Robert,
    I would like CS5 to be able to open .m3u files as text files. I have added M3U into the Extensions.txt in my C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt, and the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Extensions.txt files. I've also added it to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml file.  I have tried this two different ways: one by adding M3U as an addition TXT file, and the other as a completely new type.
    You should never edit files in the *Application* Configuration folder (i.e.C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration). You should only edit files in the *User* Configuration fodler (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Applications Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration). The reason is that you can always delete your User Configuration folder to reset to your original installation files.
    You said that you edited "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml" but you should have edited the one in your User Configuration folder instead. If it doesn't exist in the User Configuration folder, then copy it there first, then edit it. You should just need to add it to the winfileextension and/or macfileextension attribute(s) as a comma-separated value.
    You'll need to shutdown and restart DW.
    HTH,
    Randy

  • I cannot open a tab or new window to the right of an existing tab. I've followed the instructions to update via FAQ but still not working. Help!

    I cannot open a tab to the right of an existing tab. I've followed the directions provided under normal FAQ. This feature just recently was wiped from my PC, and I am not certain how.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I followed your help directions on "Corrupt extension files" under "Unable to install add-ons", foolishly deleting the files you told me to. Now firefox won't open. I tried reinstalling firefox but it still won't open. Now what do I do?

    I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.

    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • I replaced the battery in my iPod 3G, but it still won't hold a charge. Can this be fixed?

    My ipod suffered some water damage early this year, leaving the device itself working fine, but making it so that the battery drained itself within a day after each charge, whether it was used or not.
    I therefore assumed the battery was the problem, so I replaced the battery, restored the iPod, and recharged it.  Unfortunately, the problem has continued.  Since the battery got replaced, I imagine the battery itself is fine.  What else could be causing the problem, and how can I get it fixed?

    most likely the mainboard and 30 pin connector took some damage and wont connect properly you just might need to replace the mainboard and everything will be fine. (P.S.you should cheak for other damage aswell)
    hope it works out :3

  • My Itunes was working fine on my computer.  It would not open so I re-installed it.  It says it installed correctly but it still will not open...any ideas?

    I'm am assuming you are using a windows PC. If so these steps may help you tremendously. Step 5 is usually the culprit.
