Itunes 10.4 refuses to launch

Twice now I've tried to upgrade iTunes to 10.4 on two 64-bit Windows 7 machines (the second time I waited for 10.4.1), and twice the results were catastrophic, with iTunes stubbornly refusing to launch, with no error message whatsoever. Zapping the old music libraries and the SC Info files did not help.
Any clues?

Ah! I found several other people with the same problem in this forum. I followed the suggestion to move iTunes 4 from the "Applications" to the desktop and launch it from there. It worked! I moved it back into the Application folder and its still okay. Thanks! This is a definitely a bug that Apple needs to address quickly.

ITunes refuses to launch

I just updated to the newest version of iTunes, and upon restarting, iTunes refuses to launch. I tried launching from applications, restarting, reinstalling, and deleting my library settings file for iTunes, but nothing has worked. No other programs are running.
When I try to start iTunes, the icon bounces for less than a second, and then stops, and the application never starts.
I'm at a loss, any idea's?

See this.
Fixed mine.
It seems that the enhancer wont allow the licence agreement pop up to show for the new update.
When disabled you can agree to the licence then re-enable the enhancer the re-start and everything should then be back to normal.

Ipod Nano refuses to launch automatically with itunes 8.2 on mac

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can please help. I have a 2nd Generation Nano and it now refuses to launch my itunes 8.2 automatically and therefore I am unable to get to my ipod's music at all via my mac.
I used to get the DO Not disconnect logo flash up on screen, but this NO longer activates. It does however still charge the ipod fully via the USB cable provided.
I've now had to resort to uninstalling 8.2 and trying to work with 8.01, but this doesn't appear to have rectified the problem. I have yet to restore the ipod but was hoping I could avoid that option.
If anyone has experienced anything similar or has a solution to the problem please get in touch.

pictures illustrating the problem:
"iPhone" is an album containing 111 photos. No photos actually appear even after syncing - as shown by the capacity bar at the bottom:
http://i42.tinypic.com/30mo2ev.jpg
Note: I've tried syncing just ONE photo (inside AND outside iPhoto) and it doesnt work.
Also tried under Windows XP and syncing ONE photo. Didn't work either. (also running iTunes 8.2 as I don't have an old version to try...)
iPod Photo Cache is created correctly. Tried deleting and recreating it. Definitely works.
http://i41.tinypic.com/1217og4.jpg
If I use something like the demo of Ecamm Phone View ( http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ ) to view the contents of the iPhone, it is clear that NONE of the iPod Photo Cache thumbnails got transferred to the iPhone. (If i manually transfer it into the Photos folder the photos work – of course, until iTunes syncs again as it then deletes all the photos once again.)
Tried restoring iPhone - no help.
Clearly the problem is sporadic (as not many ppl have reported it) but yet, for those that are affected, it stops something that has worked before.

Quicktime Pro 7 refuses to launch independently after installation of AVID MC7 / Sorenson Squeeze

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone knows a fix for this.
After installation MC7 and Squeeze, i can no longer launch QT / QT Pro. The only way i can play .mov files is via iTunes, which for me is less than desireable. So the codec is obviously there.
Please note that QT 7 (non pro) was working fine prior to installing Avid & Sorenson.
I've tried 'repairing' QT by downloading the file, but even after the repair it still refuses to launch.
Also, QT is non longer listed in the 'open with' options... Please help!
Windows 7 home x64 (latest ver.)
x6 Phenom 945

GTX 560 ti

Good catch!
I must note that when i launch QT from the start button and it prompts the user account control popup, i notice the target is in 'Program Files - Quicktime Alternative.'
It'll probably be a conflict with QuickTime Alternative (It's a third-party chop-down of QuickTime) and the standard QuickTime Player.
Head into your uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime, then uninstall QuickTime Alternative. Now try reinstalling the QuickTime Player:

Does the player launch for you now?

Leopard 10.5.7 refuses to launch applications after "erase and install"

I have an older iMac G5 (1.6Mhz PPC, 2 Gb RAM) born with Panther OS. I wanted to update some applications so I could have a secure browser and other apps. I upgraded the RAM to 2 Gb as a first step. The additional RAM really perked up the old iMac so the next step was to update the OS to 10.5.6 using a DVD that was printed in Jan '09 and sold as part of a bundle pack with the new iLife 09 and iWork 09.
I thought I could get away with an overwrite installation and I knew there were risks in doing that. The result was a really bugey computer with frequent terminal views, kernel panics and even hard shut downs. Apple issued the 10.5.7 update and that helped stabilize the system somewhat.
I still had problems with instablility of the OS and with Safari 3.2.3, Firefox 3 and other applications. I decided to reinstall Leopard using the archive and install procedure. The 2nd install stabilized the OS but I still had problems with browsers and Open Office refusing to launch.
I did lots of troubleshooting using Onyx, MemTest OSX, repair permissions in the Disk Utility, etc. I created a new user account and the problems persisted. I decided to try a third install of the OS using the Erase and Install procedure.
The system now has Safari 4.0.1 but after a few page views Safari crashed and now it crashes as soon as you launch it. A freshly downloaded Camino browser does the same thing. iTunes, System Profiler and a fresh download of Onyx also refuse to launch. All of them crash while launching.
I can launch an ancient version of IE and Firefox 3 from the desktop.
After the last OS X install, I noticed the system did not accept the first attempts at downloading the Leopard updates and the Safari update. A second attempt was successful for both. I am reluctanct to proceed with installing anymore applications until I can fix what I believe is a problem with the OS. The OS worked well after the archive and install procedure and I am thinking it should be able to work at least as well after the erase and install.
I live in a rural area and the nearest Apple "genius" counter is about a 5 hour round trip. Is there anyone out there that has encountered this problem?

The Internet Explorer came with the iMac and I never used it. I had it on a disk so I put it on the desktop to get a download of Camino after Safari failed. It's so old that most websites can't render for it unless they have some html default page.
Here is what the Crash Reporter log had. The iTunes was on the OS X install disk. The Camino browser was downloaded from Caminobrowser.org.

Downloads from iTunes on my macbook air do not download on my desktop but remain in iTunes folder which refuse to open for use.

I couldn't get downloads from iTunes to be on the desktop of my Macbook air but they remain in iTunes folder and refuse to open for use. What am I to do?

Downloads of what? Songs? Apps? Books?
If you're talking about apps, then you have downloaded iOS apps which are intended to run on an iPhone or iPad, not a Mac.

ITunes 10.7 will not launch after installing the OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004

This evening I installed the Mac OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004. I'm posting this to see if others have the same problem, plus to find out if there's a way to uninstall a security update.
All was fine before the update, but now iTunes 10.7 won't launch as it quits unexpectedly and gives me a Problem Report to send to Apple (which was sent).
iTunes will also not launch while logged in under other users. I tried rebooting.
My iMac cannot be updated past OS 10.6.8. I can't live without iTunes.
Let me know If I should post more system info.
Thanks for the help,
Carl.

You could try downgrading iTunes to an older version?
Just drag the iTunes.app to the trash and reinstall an older version, you should be able to find one in the Support Downloads, this may fix your problem.
Note, iTunes 10.7 is needed for any devices with iOS 6

Need help FAST Application refusing to launch

My PowerBook is refusing to launch an app, the app works fine on all my other computers. In the app's crash log I get this:
http://pastebin.com/664099
This computer used to run the app fine until earlier today when a folder named 501.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the x represents numbers that I can't remember). I am loosing my patients with this **** computer and am about to smash it with a hammer if I don't get this fixed FAST.
--Thank you for your help

If you really want this fixed fast, you should consider:
The more information you provide about the crash, the better. You didn't indicate what program you were using and you also seemed a bit frustrated when you posted and didn't quite finish the sentence concerning the 501 folder, which I can only assume, appeared in your trash, as I think I've seen this before after a program quits unexpectedly.
According to the crash report, it appears that the program that is crashing is Adium.
You can try reinstalling the program to see if something has been corrupted in the program package.
You can check to see if there is a more up to date version of the program. You might be dealing with a bug that has been fixed in a more recent version.
You can hunt for the preferences by doing a file search in the library/preferences folder to see if you can find all the preferences associated with adium and delete them. You will most likey loose all your preference setting and any login information, since it's an IM program, but at least you can get it up and running again.
Don't delete the preference files until you have verified that the other two solutions do not work. There's no need to go through re-intering the preferences you want if you can fix the problem by reinstalling the program, which doesn't mess with your preferences.

Itunes 10.1 won't launch on Windows 7 x64

itunes version 10.1 for Windows 7 64-bit won't launch after install. I tried launching it under a different user. I tried disabling my antivirus software. I tried using the desktop shortcut, Start menu shortcut, and itunes.exe. The Event Viewer does not log any errors or warnings during installation or when trying to launch the app. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app too. When trying to launch the app, no messages are received, absolutely nothing happens. I had the previous version of itunes installed on the same hardware configuration. During installation, no warnings or errors are received. I checked possible conflicts under msconfig.exe, but only a few apps are checked to start at startup.

When trying to launch the app, no messages are received, absolutely nothing happens.
Some questions in the interest of narrowing in on possible culprits with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

Hi cheperrumps,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Uninstalling or reinstalling the iTunes application won't affect your music (data) -- but it's always a good idea to have a backup!
The information below will show you how to do that and to troubleshoot your issue with iTunes:

I downloaded the lates version of iTunes. Now, every icon on my desktop now is the iTunes icon and will only launch iTunes. The same is true with almost everything in "All Programs" from my start menu. Uninstalling brought desktop back to normal.

After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, it changed all desktop icons to the iTunes icon and will only launch iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same problem occured. Help.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

I can locate the Apple menu and click on the System Preferences tab, but the System Preferences refuses to launch. Help!

I think it must be missing from the Applications folder.
Do you have your 10.4 Install Disc to do an Archive & Install?

Photo Shop Elements 12 refuses to launch

I installed and have successfully used PSE 12 on Windows 7 since October 2013. It quit working in the middle of alternately using it with an online screen of an art class and now refuses to launch. I have done repeated uninstalls and reinstalls to no avail. It's welcome screen does come up but now with the message that my trial version has expired and the only option given is to BUY NOW. I have a licensed product. Is this a program bug as I've read others encountering similar issues. Please advise what steps I can take to try and resolve this issue. My class work depends on this program. Thanks.

If you have any parental control software either stand alone or installes as a module in your security software, then uninstall the parental control and reboot. It worked immediately for me after working on it for 2 days.
