I can't open iTunes anymore. Macbook Pro OSX Yosemite

So after installing an update for iTunes, it no longer will open. Now I tried to look in my updates and now its not showing up, so the update that I installed isn't showing and now iTunes isn't working.
I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. No matter how many times I click on itunes or try to open it or play a music file, nothing is happening.

Can't open iTunes and Mail after installing Yosemite

Hi, I intsalled Yosemite and after the Installation i can't open iTunes and Mail anymore, how can i fix this ?

Long shot.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

My Macbook Pro (OSX Yosemite) does not recognize my Rocketfish music receiver via Bluetooth.

I bought a Rocketfish music receiver in order to stream music on my MacBook Pro using Yosemite to my stereo receiver. I cannot get my laptop to recognize/connect to the Rocketfish or my iPhone 5 even though the iPhone 5 connects to the receiver.

Maybe this?

Can't open iTunes anymore. Get error message

I recently got an iTouch. Also recently got a new computer. I downloaded iTunes onto new computer (Windows Vista) and it worked just fine. iTouch worked too. However, one day I went to open iTunes and it didn't open. I got an error message that said: iTunes application could not be opened. Unknown error occurred (13014). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times but still get the same error message. Can anyone help me?

Hey there,
The page below might be able to help you out. Some say that by restarting your computer fixes the problem. You probably have already attempted this, but maybe try one or two more times. No harm done there. Hope this helps.

I can't open iTunes when I upgraded to Yosemite

I have a 2008 mac book pro. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't seem to open iTunes. In the app store under 'Updates' it says I have downloaded iTunes 12.0.1 on Oct. 18.14. But when I go to iTunes in the applications folder it says I have 12.0.1.26 on Oct.19.14. I did download the iTunes update before I downloaded Yosemite. I was thinking that I needed to uninstall iTunes. I used the 'sharing and permissions' method, but it didn't work. Help!

Re: iTunes doesn't open after Yosemite is installedin response to sinpwo
I have been having the same problem too but I solved it! You first have to click on the "Finder" icon then find the iTunes application in the application folder. After that right click on the iTunes icon and press "show package contents." Once that is open click on the "contents" folder, then click "Mac OS." After the "Mac OS" folder is open click you have on to click on the iTunes terminal. (It was the first icon in the folder, it saids "exec" on it.)

Can you run iTunes 10.7 on OSX Yosemite?

Considering upgrading my Mac, but am really on concerned about being able to use iTunes 10.7 - any newer version is absolutely awful.

You can't.
watujim - If you have installed Yosemite on a computer with the newer iTunes with which it comes then clicking on the 10.7 installer won't install it. In that regard the simple answer is "No." However, sometimes if you are really wanting to do something outside of the box it is best to do a web search as responses here may be simplified. http://www.tonymacx86.com/customization/146852-install-itunes-10-back-yosemite.h tml "Good news for old-school guys: It's possible to install iTunes 10.7 back on Yosemite."... Realize this kind of reverting will not open a library which has been modified by a later version of iTunes, but if you haven't done that then you should be okay (I haven't tried this -- all I did was find the link with a web search).

Loaded update and can't open iTunes anymore

just installed the update and now it will not open? Any advice?

Verify your hard drive with Disk Utility (not the permissions verify, the other one). If it needs repairing then we can go into that. Next, repair permissions with DU. Now download the iTunes updater. Don't use Software Update. Install the update. Run DU again to repair permissions. Try iTunes again.
Ideally you should back up your computer before running any update. If an update causes problems and results in file loss then you won't have ot worry.

Can't open iTunes anymore!

I use Garage Band and iTunes (for the last six months), and haven't had more than the usual amount of trouble, but yesterday after finishing a song in GB, I told it to export to iTunes, and it tried...it finished up until the part where iTunes automatically opens and the file appears in iTunes. Instead of that happening, iTunes opened, and I saw in the iTunes status window: "Copying 1 of 1: Bounced" then that failed, then the OSX message "Error: Cannot read or write to disk." I checked the permissions for the HD, and "Read and Write" is NOT highlighted as an option. However, I can save documents anywhere but GB. So I reinstalled all my OSX software, including iTunes. Now iTunes won't open at all--it tries, and then I get a message that it unexpectedly quit. I thought it might be a Library issue, so I tried dragging the library onto the desktop, even the old libraries. Nothing changed. I reinstalled iTunes, but still the same thing. I don't know what else to try! Can anyone help? I have to sleep now, but I will check back in the a.m.

Victoria hello,
when you wake up put the proper library back in the iTunes folder ... the library with the most up-to-date info...
Select this library and and type command - D ... this will duplicate it.... put the original Library file on the desktop ... change the name of the duplicate to be iTunes Library and then double / click on the file after the name change has been updated
tell me if it all works okay now .... take care Victoria ... TP

My adobe CS2 programs will not open on my macbook pro osx 10.5.8

Today my adobe cs2 suite programs will not open. They were working just fine a couple of days ago. And they have worked fine for years. I did not update to any new os that would cause them not to work. I really need to get some image work done soon and this is a real monkey wrench in my plans. I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall from the disc and it would not let me do that either. I tried to download picasa just as a quick alternative to get some images edited tonight and it would not let me open that either, even though it said it was good for 10.5 or above. So the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded something that changed some settings?

What more do you want? This is as much info as there is!

How to change your nickname in game centre using macbook pro OSX Yosemite

I want to change my nickname in game centre but don't know where to go so pls if anyone could help me out.

You can change your computer name in System Preferences (found under the Apple menu) in the Sharing pane. At the top of the pane it will say Computer Name: PowerBook G4 15".
Note that the name can contain spaces. Mine, for example, is Ministry of Magic.
Delete the current name and enter the new name. Note that you do not have to click the edit button out to the right. That is only useful if you want to change the bonjour address on your local subnet to be something different from NewComputerName.local (where NewComputerName is the new name you just changed it to.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Creative Cloud Widget shows options to install apps even though they are present on the system already. (Retina MacBook Pro - OSX Yosemite)

Finding that the Adobe Creative Cloud Widget/Launcher that drops down from the 'system bar' at the top of the screen now is not showing the apps that area clearly installed. It was accurate immediately after install, but I have noticed that it only shows two of the thirteen installed applications for the past week or so. Any ideas how to fix this and make it accurate again?

Hez_Godfrey please utilize the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html to restore the list of installed applications. I would recommend beginning with solution 2.

Can't run Itunes anymore...

I have been using Itunes for 3 months. I had 2 hard drives, the C being for the softwares (that's where Itunes was installed) and the D for the data (that's where I put Itunes folder : my music). However, I had to remove the D hard drive and now, I can't open Itunes anymore, I can't uninstall Itunes and I can't even re-install it. Always the same error message : can't find the D drive. Although I have a My mucic with my Itunes librairy on the C drive, it's not working... please help me!

First make backup copies of these four files:
1) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
2) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3 & 4) The two iTunes.pref files
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
Then delete them all from their original locations. Reboot the PC and start iTunes. Do not allow iTunes to re-scan your PC for music files. You should end up with a 'blank' Library. Close iTunes. Then proceed to uninstall iTunes as described below.
Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime
(Compiled from the collective wisdom of toonz and Da Gopha)
If you want to guarantee a successful upgrade and be proactive about minimizing potential install issues, do the following:
1. Completely Backup your music and iTunes library files.
2. Virus check / spyware scan your machine. Use several quality programs to completely scan your PC – all drives. EWIDO seems to be one used by many here. Free at: http://www.ewido.net/en/
3. Completely remove / uninstall the current version of iTunes and QuickTime from your system.....
3a. - Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
3b. - Do a Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes
3c. - Then download and install the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
.....And make sure iTunes is really gone.
4. Delete the contents of your temp folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp
5. Reboot the PC
6. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
7. Start with the QuickTime standalone installer. Download it and save it to your hard drive. Then run it from the PC (not directly from on-line)
8. Reboot the PC
9. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
10. Completely download the latest iTunes Installer. Save it to your PC. Then run it from the saved location of your PC
11. Reboot the PC
12. Open iTunes and enjoy
The majority of problems out there on the discussion boards are caused by viruses or other system corruption — sometimes self-inflicted by the user (i.e. - people who turn off necessary Windows services) — or out of date drivers. You may want to consider this if your PC falls into one of these categories.
