Is anyone experiencing itunes not opening up?

HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCE TROUBLE OPENING ITUNES LATELY?  I DID THE UPDATE AND IT WILL NOT OPEN NOW. ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT!

Yes. I just installed iTunes on my Win XP machine. If it starts at all, iTunes stops responding the first time I click a button. Sorry, I have no help to offer.

  • "A Fix For iTUNES Not Opening"

    Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the simple fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. I’m using ZoneAlarm Suite Edition, but it also works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
    So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
    Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
    I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.

    Just A Correction. In The Line ....The first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again)...
    Instead of "Click Yes" its supposed to be "Click Allow".

    is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop.  Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

    I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
    This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • ITunes not opening automatically when I connect iPhone or iPad?

  • Windows 8.1 Computer not recognizing iPhone 5 and iTunes not opening

    So i've been having these issues persist since I updated to iOS7 in September. Computer is a MSI GT60 2OD-026US running windows 8, now 8.1.
    How this all started in September:
    1. Download iTunes and it sees iPhone, update to iOS7
    2. Everything is all good until it tries to connect to iTunes after extracting the old software, the computer doesn't acknoledge the phone is connected.
    3. Try all usb ports, no luck
    4. update usb drivers, already updated, no help
    5. reinstall itunes, no luck
    6. itunes starts to not open, its running in the task manager but no window shows up, even after ending the task and relaunching
    7. uninstall itunes and reinstall on the OS drive, now it works, but still wont see iphone.
    8. temporary fix found, iphone successfully restores on a different computer and all is good for a while
    Second problem:
    1. try to sync new CD onto iPhone, when suddenly I have over have my phone filled with "other" data
    2. restore to clear "other" data
    3. computer again wont recognize it after extracting the software
    4. again use temporary fix of going to another computer
    Today:
    1. got a lot of new non itunes music, going to sync it
    2. uh oh, I have duplicate songs on it and lots of the album artwork is wrong
    3. woah, suddenly I have 5 gb of "other" data, lets restart for a clean slate
    4. and like clockwork my computer doesn't recognize it after software extraction, get 4005 error message
    5. reinstall itunes and itunes refuses to open because I moved it back to my 1TB drive instead of my 128GB SSD OS drive because it was getting rather full.
    5. iTunes again will not open, even in safe mode but again shows up in the taskbar
    I've looked at many threads similar to this and no solution has worked.
    Have any ideas? or should I just bring my computer into the apple store?

    I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
    As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
    I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
    You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
    By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

  • ITunes not opening.  NO ERROR MESSAGE

    I cannot get iTunes to open. When I double click on it, the "hour glass" shows up, and I give it a minute or more, but the program does not open? I have the updated verision, but cannot get it to open. No error message when I try to open it...no program...nothing. Nothing at all.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thank you

    I'm having a similar problem. When I open Itunes I'm asked for my password but it doesn't allow me to enter my password or do anything else at all! When I then open task manager I find Itunes is not responding.
    I have tried closing other programs, restarting the PC, downloading a new version of Itunes and repairing (that didn't work), then uninstalling and then reinstalling (same problem!)
    What can I do? I can't sync or anything!

  • ITunes not opening at all with Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I just updated to Yosemite (macbook Pro), and my iTunes isn't working at all, there's no error messages or anything, it just won't open.
    I've tried clicking it from the applications folder, right clicking, as well as connecting my phone, but it's not opening.
    Please help me,
    (I updated everything on my laptop before I updated to Yosemite as well).
    Thank you!

    I have the same problem : I just installed Yosemite, but iTunes won't open anymore.  Anyone know what the problem is?

  • ***? Error message and itunes not opening

    I just installed iTunes, and it will not open. I get an error message saying:
    "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
    What does this mean and why exactly is is popping up? How do I fix the problem so I can open iTunes? I've been surfing the net for about 4 hours trying to find solutions and can't find anything. I'm getting aggravated.
    Please help!!
    P.S. I've unistalled both iTunes and QuickTime, reinstalled them both first as a combo pack then separately, restarted my computer several times, and made sure everything wasn't a "read only" file. Nothing seems to work.

  • ITunes not opening and not on the program list to uninstall

    iTunes will not open at all.  I am not getting any error messages.  I see iTunes in the program list but clicking on it does absolutely nothing other than an hourglass for a second or 2.  Then I was thinking to uninstall and reinstall iTunes but it is not in my uninstall program list at all.  Not sure what to do at all.  Does anyone know how to fix either of these issues?  I am using Windows 7.

    clucas,
    Does iTunes.exe and/or iTunesHelper.exe show up in the Task Manager?

  • Weird issue with iTunes not opening

    I remember having this issue about a year ago, but I don't remember what I did to solve it.. So I'm here asking for help again.
    I recently got a nice, large, fast external Firewire HDD... I did a clean install of OSX onto it, and on the first boot I used the tool that transferred all my programs and settings from the original drive.
    Everyhting has been running fine. I think anyone wiht a G4 mini should run off an external Firewire HDD. It runs so much smoother and a little quicker than the slow internal drive.
    Until... I try to open iTunes.... I click the dock icon, it bounces a few times, the black arrow appears under the icon, and then --- nothing.. So I think to myself, ".........?" and try to force quit it. I can't. Not by right clicking the icon, or by using the force quit menu under the apple menu.
    I rebooted - immediately opon bootup, iTunes will work fine. If I close it, and then try to open it a few minutes later, iTunes will not open. It also won't open if i just wait for a few minutes after bootup and then open it (as opposed to open it right away, then close it, then open again later)....
    I tried to repair permissions.... No permissions errors currently found.
    Using 10.4.8, and the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime.

    See if anything here helps.

  • New iTunes not opening on iMac w OS10.6.8

    tried to connect my iPhone 4 to my iMac and was told that I had to upgrade to the new iTunes ver. 11.11 since my iPhone is now running of ver. 7.0.2
    My iMac is running OS ver 10.6.8 and when I looked for softawre updates iTunes was the only one that showed up.  Ran the download program  then restarted the computer.  But now iTunes will not open.. Anyone else have this issue?. 

    issue resolved for the moment.  Although the new version of iTunes was not starting on it's own with the iMac.  It did start up once I conected my iPhone to the computer...

  • ITunes not opening when device connected

    About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone.  If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync.  I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
    I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
    How do I set this straight?

    Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
    Select or deselect:  Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
    Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.
