IOS 5 upgrade won't launch in iTunes 10.5?

I got the Apple email about upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5. First I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5. Then I restarted the PC. Then I plugged the 3GS into the USB port. iTunes launched, did an ordinary synch, then just sat there. Nothing new happened. The instructions I've read say iTunes is supposed to sense I have the old OS and walk me through the steps for the upgrade. But it ain't happeneing for some reason. I tried searching the Store for some kind of upgrade link but it just has some new information about using iOS 5, nothing else. Anyone have a suggestion?
I want my iOS 5. I really, really do!

Think I'm going to have to work this one out for myself. The Apple support section has step-by-step instructions on how to do this, since iTunes isn't doing its part, so I'll use their Web page to upgrade. Thanks anyway.

EMusic Download Manager Won't Launch since iTunes Update.

Hi,
Since updating to iTunes 7.3.1 my eMusic Download Manager no longer launches.
I booted from a FireWire disk which doesn't have the iTunes and QuickTime updates, but otherwise is an exact clone and it launched from there.
Any of you guys hit that problem?
Thanks in advance for any help:-)

Well, I just checked. Download Manager launched appropriately for me. I have all the latest updates.
One thought, what browser are you using? I know Safari got a bump recently. It is possible if you downloaded that at the same time as the iTunes update, if may actually be the problem.
If my previous suggestion didn't work, try this. When you click on "Download All" in emusic, if the Download Manager doesn't launch, a small file with a numeric name and the file extension .emp should still download. Control-click on the file and make sure that files of that type are set to be opened by Download Manager.
You might also try consulting the emusic folks.
Best of luck

IOS 7 won't sync with itunes latest version

After upgrading my iPhone 5 to IOS 7 it won't sync with iTunes on my windows 7 computer. I get a message that reads "it requires iTunes 11.1 or later" but the latest download is 11.0.5 for windows 7. How do I get 11.1?

I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows). Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6. Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11. But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1. Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Thank you.

I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

10.4.8 - many apps won't launch, JVTecoClose?

Since updating to 10.4.8 with both Software Update and then the combo updater and fixing permissions, many apps won't launch, including iTunes, iPhoto, and Snood. Console records the same problem for all of them:
Error l/cating symbol - dlsym(0x213a90, JVTecoClose): symbol not found
Error l/cating symbol - dlsym(0xc118d0, JVTecoClose): symbol not found
Error l/cating symbol - dlsym(0x10f600, JVTecoClose): symbol not found
I'm thinking JVTecoClose belongs to some corrupted Framework. Is anyone familiar with it?

Ok here is the update . Since we couldn't get it to install 100% from the dvd's , we tried to run the hardware test, suspecting maybe it was the ram that was shipped with the machine, or quite possibly a hard drive failure . MBP was rebooted with disc 1 in the drive holding down the option key and brought us to the dual boot screen (Boot camp or Parallels or any flavor of windows OS was NOT on the machine). OSX boot was selected and we were greeted by the setup screen again . This time however, the option to customize was visible . SO the machine was set up with no iLife or trial packages selected . OSX went right on the drive and booted up into 10.4.6. So now the machine is up and running , minus the iLife suite and Iwork , quicken , and MS office trial packages . It was hard enough that the machine was 200 miles away and this was being done on the telephone , but i'm still trying to understand what happened. Even with all the information posted after the fact of the update on the forums , intructions followed to the T for combo update , we still had the install failure. The last known working OS state prior to this update was the 10.4.7 , which was applied without a hitch when it released . We're hoping that something is actually wrong with DVD2 , although its unlikely since it was shipped with the system 8 weeks ago . Would love to hear some hindsight ideas about what is going on here . As i stated in a previous post , 2 12" PB's were updated without any problems at all and are still running perfectly . NO network issues , no kernel panics , or any other issues . I've recommended the computer be brought into a genius for a looking at . We will see what happens.

Itunes upgraded but won't launch with Windows 7

Hi
I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes 2 days ago (5 April 2010) and now iTunes simply won't launch at all. I have tried some of the remedies in the posts and have even tried a complete reinstall but iTunes still will ot launch.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I had the same problem: after updating to iTunes 9.1 (no errors) I just couldn't launch it. In Task Manager I saw that the iTunes process was running but it never really opened.
After nights of frustration of scanning the net for solutions I finally managed to get iTunes to run again.
1) Firstly I deleted the new iTunes 9.1 and all programmes associated with it according to the directions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
It also mentions you should remove the Bonjour service but I could never make that work (no privileges or something like that).
2) After that I reinstalled a previous version of iTunes. In this case 9.0.3.15. I got the download here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
3) Then I disabled the Bonjour service with the MSCONFIG method mentioned at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
There they state that you should check which service clashes with Windows by trying to disable one service at a time. I found out pretty quickly that it was just the Bonjour service that caused the problems. All other services could run normally.
After the reboot iTunes finally started up again and I was able to restore my library.
Only thing is that I can not use the Remote App on my iPod Touch. That apparently required the use of Bonjour.
I hope this method helps for some of you!
Cheers,
Bart

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won't launch apps. When asked say "launch Facebook" Siri responds with "it doesn't look like you have an app named Facebook" and I get the same results when trying to launch any

When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

ITunes won't launch after upgrade

I just downloaded the new iTunes upgrade onto my Macbook, and now iTunes won't launch. It just bounces once and then does nothing. I've gone through the uninstall and reinstall process, but still no dice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Also, since I uninstalled it, did I lose everything I'd previously downloaded to iTunes?!)
**I just realized I've accidentally posted this under the Windows discussion. Sorry.

Sorted! Panic over. I ran the download again and everythin seems OK.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

Itunes 7.0.2 won't launch just has hourglass for a few seconds...

I am running a Dell Optiplex w/ Win XP Pro, Charter High Speed Security Suite (F-Secure) antivirus firewall antispyware stuff. Trying to upgrade itunes. Downloaded and installed without Security suite and firewalls etc. Installed fine. QuickTime opens and works except when I try to click on a movie trailer and it tries to open iTunes Store and it won't load the store. ITunes 7.0.2 won't launch. The hourglass shows for a few seconds and then nothing...no small pieces of anything popping up and going away really quick. Nothing. I don't have any other antivirus products on my system. I do have eTrust Pestpatrol antispyware but it has been disabled and was not active when downloading the product nor when installing the upgrade. All previous versions of iTunes worked fine. This upgrade to 7.0.2 will not launch. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Marlene

I downloaded the program without any firewall, antivirus software or antispyware or antimalware running. I installed the same way. I don't have an active firewall through Win XP, my Charter Security Suite's firewall has always been instructed to allow all of the itunes, ituneshelper and Quicktime info through. I never had this problem with the other iTunes...only this upgrade. I have done virus, spyware, and malware scans (found a few with a deep scan, quarintined and deleted, restarted computer, still no change). My computer is up to date. I could update my Internet Explorer I suppose from 6.0.2. but that is something that shouldn't be stopping iTunes from launching. I have a P 4 with 2.4 ghz 256 ram of which I know I need to upgrade but still should not have a contributing factor in the launch. If it is, tell me and I will immediately upgrade. I don't get this one... ???? Forgot to add, I also tried another user account which had the same results.

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes.

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes. Apparently I cannot downgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone. Please tell me I don't have to pay anything to be able to use my products......

Which version of iTunes?
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Unless this is a new iPhone 5 I believe the older ones will work with iOS6 and iTunes 10.6.3. If it won't, you will need to upgrade operating system version.
