ITunes 10.6.1.7 won't open on my laptop. Help!

I have tried various "fixes" that I have found on different blogs and help forums. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, typing in "netsh winsock reset" on some command page, and also getting rid of "Bonjour" prompts or something like that.
What else can I do? It was working fine until I updated iTunes to the 10.6 version. Then, nothing will open.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I do, and I will give this a try...but use of my gaming software is more important than the nussance of having to kill iTunes with task manager.  But, at least then I will know what the problem is.
edit...well, this seems to have solved the problem.  I wish Apple and Logitech would get on the same page again.  It's like they had a divorce or something about a year ago and since then nothing works right between the two.  As soon as Logitech fixes the issues, Apple makes a new one. And neither company seems all to concerned at how it is affecting their customers.

    You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
    So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

  • ITunes won't open after upgrade. Help!!!!

    I upgraded to 7.0.2 and now my iTunes won't open at all. No error message. Nothing. When I click on it, it seems like something is happening with hourglass thing going but nothing happens. No error message.....no nothing.
    I looked under Processes in my Task Managaer and I see iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe but I don't know whats going on.
    Pleeeeeeeease heeeeeeeeeelp.
    I love my iPod too much for it to be out of commission.

    It's 2006
    okay. it's way rarer to get this sort of thing due to NIS 2006 than it is with 2005, but it has been known to happen.
    try the technique from the following bbecker post. (heads-up ... it's taking a long time for that post in that thread to load for properly for some folks. so leave it to think for a few minutes until it's loaded fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post.)

  • After installing iTunes 10.3.1 it won't open, error message - "the file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"

    new iTunes won't open. Error says cant read iTunes Library.itl becuase it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    I had just installed iTunes 10.3.1 as was instructed by the Genius at the store.

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • ITunes 10.5.2  it won't open

    Just updated to iTunes 10.5.2 and now it won't open at all. I double click on icon and nothing happens. Have uninstalled and reinstalled please help I need to get my new iPhone 4s up and running

    I'm seeing similar behavior where iTunes crashes and I get the "Quit unexpectedly" error. In my case, it works fine for a while and then crashes without any apparent cause. I can't detect a pattern to the failues and I can't cause it to fail - sometimes it quits mid-song, sometimes it crashes when it is paused. It happens repeatedly, i.e. it's completely unstable.
    I am still running Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, so it isn't just a Lion issue. I now realize that the problem first appeared about the time I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2  but since I was having some other issues at the same time, I didn't immediately recognize it as a SW issue with iTunes.
    Last week I did a clean install of OS X Snow Leopard after a full format of my HD and the problem with iTunes still persists. I have logs of the last 5 crashes if anyone wants to try to make sense of them (I sent one set to Apple already).
    This is a real PIA that I hope gets some quick attention.

  • Just Updated iTunes/Quicktime and it still won't open...

    Ok so I have Windows XP and I went to open iTunes a little bit ago and it told me that iTunes couldnt open because I had Quicktime 7.0 and i needed at least 7.1.
    So I downloaded a the newer version of iTunes and Quicktime 7.1 or whatever and it still won't open. I shut down and restarted my computer and it is still telling me the same error message. Its trying to tell me delete my iTunes or something and re-download it.
    I'm really really afraid that I will lose most of my music library because I havent backed it up recently and I have a lot of purchased music and I really dont know what to do! Someone please help!

    ok i just deleted Quicktime and then reinstalled 7.1 and everything works! iTunes and Quicktime both open and work like normal!

  • ITunes 7.1 (newest one) won't open and I've tried all the posted solutions

    I upgraded itunes but now it won't open. I tried going to repair under the control panel, I uninstalled then re-installed, and then I deleted the SC info like the Apple tutorial said (so please don't post any of those generic links to them) and STILL it won't open (will they EVER come out with a newer one that works decently? --the only reason I upgraded right away is because the previous one made the tracks all choppy).

    the cursor gets a hourglass for as second or 2 and my comp. makes the general loading noise, then nothing happens ---I don't think it's a firewall as the file is still itunes.exe (as with older versions) and it was never blocked before
    yeah it opened with another windows account ---does that help you out?
    (actually, it did the same load symbol then nothing --so I switched back to tell you no, then I went to log it out so I could delete it, then the thing with the user agreement (as I said I had re-installed) poped up and after clicking yes and other options about uploading music it worked -----still doesn't work on my actual windows account though)

  • Help! Suddenly iTunes/iPhoto/AddressBook and others won't open

    Recently when on Safari, i'm told by certain websites to update Safari, when it's already current. Then today shockwave won't load when I go to any web page. Now iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and other programs won't open. I can still get on the web, still use some programs like FileMaker Pro and Safari. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!
