ITunes 10.5 won't open (Mac)

I cannot open iTunes on my Mac, but it will open in my daughter's account profile. Help!!! Thanks in advance.

On a guess,
I turned off the Wifi and opened iTunes and it opened sucessfully.
so something in the store infrastructure is causing iTunes to crash.

ITunes 11.3 won't open

iTunes 11.3 won't open on 13" Mac Macbook Pro mid 2012 OS X 0.8.2

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

A week ago, Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open but other applications will, like Mozilla, iPhoto, Word, Excel, etc. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get Safari and the other programs to open? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

ITunes 10.7 won't open some Libraries

I just noticed that iTunes (10.7) won't open some of my libraries. I have 5 that I use for various purposes. The main one with all my music is now grayed out. Only 2 out of the 5 will load, and they are not the most important ones, so I am kind of stuck.
A few weeks ago I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Mountain Lion 10.8, then got an iPhone 5, but iTunes worked for a while after the upgrade and I put some songs on the iPhone.
I just got the fix for iPhoto 4.9 which was causing it's own problems, and now iTunes isn't working. (Actually it wasn't working when iPhoto had problems too.)
So what can I do to fix this? Delete my library files and start over just when I had it all set up for the iPhone? And will it happen again?

A valid iTunes library has a file called library.itl The .xml file is a copy in a different format put there by iTunes so other programs can read the library, but itunes itself uses the .itl file. So in essence the folders with no .itl have no library. You can create a blank library by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. Now import the .xml file from one of those orphan libraries.

ITunes 10.5 won't open on Mac

I downloaded the 10.5 update to MacBook but now iTunes won't open at all. It generates a crash report each time I try to reopen the software. I've rebooted, downloaded anew and reinstalled. I haven't tried a full uninstall and reinstall yet, I'm hoping there is a solution short of that. Thanks.

I am experiencing the same thing this morning on Snow Leopard after Security Update + iTunes 10.5 update + Aperature update. It has completely disabled not only iTunes, but also Skype, Adium, and Google Chrome. My Mac is pretty much unable to communicate with the outside world as a result of this. Can anyone help?

Also, I am getting a 'terminal' file at the bottom which I havent sen before.
Thanks,

ITUNES music store won't open

After doing a clean install on my mac mini, the only problem is with ITunes. The music store won't open, states to make sure my internet connection is open and active, which it is.

The iTunes store seems to be stuggling a bit today under the weight of demand. Uninstalling itunes and installing won't help. Use patience, try later...
Why would you delete your songs?

Safari, Mail, iTunes and Skype won't open

Hi there Apple-Support-Team,
a few days ago I did an update of Safari, suggested automatically by Apple, but wasn't sure if the update was successfull (I had to leave the house).
Now all applications with internet connection (Safari, Mail, iTunes, Skype) won't open anymore. Not from the dock or the application folder. I checked my internet connection which seems to be working.
I've seen quite some reports in this forum but I am not sure if I'm having the same trouble as the other users. I get no error reports or anything else, the apps just don't open.
Mac OS X version 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Many thanks

Welcome to the forums!
Did you restart your Mac after the install?
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.1 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.1 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.1 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.1, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

My itunes 8.1 won't open

I have been having problems with itunes for a few months now with Itunes 8.0/8.1 on Windows XP. Back in December when itunes 8.0 came out, i downloaded it and I think my quicktime program became corrupt shortly there after. Now whenever I try to open itunes I get this message:
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous.
To see what data this error report contains, click here."
I've tried alot of the things on the support pages for when itunes won't open. It isn't just this user - I made a new user and itunes didn't work for it either. The other thing is that when I try to uninstall quicktime I get errors and it doesn't work. I've uninstalled and re-installed itunes a thousand times too. Updating to 8.1 wasn't effective either.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get my itunes working again?

I couldn't solve it. So, I just use the previous version of itunes.
As a matter of fact, everything goes crazy after update and also upgrade of OS. I have more or less the same problem now, since I upgrade my Mac OS X to the latest version "Mavericks". Eveything is slow and undesirable. It seems there is no solution for these problems.
I decide to format all the labtop and again instal the mac OS from the begining. Hope it works and get my labtop back in the previous condition.

ITunes 10.5 won't open. Quits unexpectedly

OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8
I just installed iTunes 10.5 this morning and now iTunes, iPhoto, Google Chrome, Skype won't open. They all quit unexpectedly. I have repaired my disk and repaired permissions. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I am stuck and need some other ideas!! This has pretty much made my iMac comletely usless!!!

I agree on deleting or getting the junk out of \Roaming\Apple.... Just to be clearer, I meant to say "move AND delete" just to be sure you have a copy somewhere, even if only to compare to. In the end I spent far too long looking for a needle in haystack rather than just start over.
I had trouble on 10/19 so I then looked to see what was modified then.
There are some other prefs that may be in AppData\Local as well that you want to dump.
Two years into Windows 7 I was going to do clean install anyway. Was hoping there would be a 2nd Preview of 8 though. 10.5 works fine on Windows 8 except for iPod service and AMS, and was unable even with clean system install to upgrade iPod to iOS 5 --- that was what I really really wanted to accomplish and figure out, and even with clean install was a "dead end."
Now I'm beginning to list or learn that some of my apps and others don't work with iOS 5 or iTunes 10.5.
If some one has the luxury of a 2nd copy or hard drive or both to have another install of Windows, always useful, and one way to test and find out what works and then migrate files.

ITunes upgrade, now won't open on external drive

Hello, mac genii,
I recently moved iTunes to my external hard drive. It has worked well. Just upgraded iTunes to 11.2.1 from a 10.? version. Now iTunes won't open. I have a 2009 13" macbook pro, using a western digital 1T ex. drive. I moved iTunes using a method I learned in this forum (from Limnos), by moving the iTunes folder to the ex. drive, and holding the option key down while clicking the iTunes icon, choosing the ex. drive for the location of the library. When I downloaded the upgrade, i had the ex. drive plugged in. It appears as though it upgraded in both the ex drive and internally. I tried doing the option + iTunes icon and nothing happened. The iTunes folders are all still intact as far as I can tell.
Any ideas or suggestions?

My 8.1 will not start either. Starts to open the iTunes library, then I get the "quit unexpectedly" message.
I still have iTunes 8.0.2. When I try to open it, same thing happens, even though that version always worked just fine.
I have tried restarting. No luck.
Help appreciated.Thanks.
