ITunes 10.6 fails to open....!

Can someone tell me why with the new insatllation of iTunes 10.6 it fails to open? Anyone else having this problem?

I have this problem too on Windows 7.  It seems intermittent, but a faint outline of the application appears, but then nothing else.  Only way to continue is to kill the itunes.exe process from task manager.
Edit: realised this is the Itunes for Mac forum.  apologies.

    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
    I've never lost an account balance after an uninstall/reinstall.

    If you double click on the home button, that opens the recents tray and you can see all of the apps you have recently used. Click on one of those app icons when you have that tray open and the app should start up.
    If you just click the home button again when the recents tray is open, it will take you back to the home screen and you will be back where you started.

  • ITunes and QuickTime Failing to Open

    Hi
    I have just been forced to buy a new hard drive as my previous one failed totally unexpectedly. Hence, my OS (XP Pro) is newly installed, as is all my other software. Having downloaded and installed iTunes 6 I tried to initiate it but it fails to open. I can see the iTunes.exe in processes but it will not close when I try to kill it. It locks with a memory usage of 12,848 K every time. I can kill all other iTunes/iPod processes but not the iTunes.exe. My registry has no errors, I have no spyware (according to the MS AntiSpyware Beta) and no viruses.
    I have all the essential updates for XP Pro plus a selection of optional ones. My hardware drivers are also up to date.
    From a quick browse of the forums it seems that Norton Internet Security 2005 might be to blame for my problems. One of the pieces of advice I read was to use AVG software as an alternate (which I have used before and liked) as Norton IS 2005 stops iTunes from loading. I am willing to do that as a short term option, but NIS has always been my security system of choice and I would prefer to have the option to keep using it.
    What I would like to know is whether it is true that Norton IS 2005 causes this conflict and if there is a way around it without changing my choice of security or is NIS 2005 totally incompatible with iTunes? I may well be upgrading to NIS 2006 soon and would also like to know if this issue will reoccur if I do. The current conflict also seems to hugely slow down my shutting down speed.
    I hope you can quickly resolve or answer my questions.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi blaccrichard,
    This may help you. Turn NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE. ( Might be a good idea to disconnect from the Internet at this stage)
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into NIS 2005’s Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.

  • Itunes starts but fails to open due to audio configuration problem

    Hi
    I have been running itunes 7.1 quite successfully until today. Running on windows xp/toshiba laptop.
    Problem occurs when i select itunes on desktop, itunes appears on task bar below, after a number of seconds the following error message appears "itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration", once I click ok on this message itunes terminates.
    No changes have been made to my audio configuration (to the best of my knowledge), i can run Windows Media Player and that works fine, so too real player.
    I reinstalled itunes, but this did not resolve the problem. I also ran itunes from another logon on my laptop and that presented the same error. I checked all my audio settings in the control panel and also ran the diagnostics on each device and all appears to be fine.
    Has anybody faced the same issue, and could anybody advise on any diagnistic tool that could assist in pinpointing the configuration problem?.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Got it resolved, thanks for the prompt responses all!.
    Resolved by removal current version of Quicktime thru the control panel (add/remove programs), and then reinstalled from the website.
    Phew!

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • ITunes window fails to open.

    After upgrading to iTunes 10, the iTunes window fails to open. In task manager, the iTunes process runs, and occasionally the "Checking iTunes library" dialogue will pop up, but the window itself does not open. I have already tried most of the suggestions on the Apple help page [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421]. The issue is system-wide and I have tried the following:
    * Removing iTunes Configuration Files
    * Fix digital signing of Windows drivers
    * Check the iTunes and QuickTime installations
    However, the problem continues. It is not a problem with a virus on my PC, nor with a conflicting program. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this.
    PC meets all the required specs to run iTunes, except graphics card drivers are out-of-date. There is nothing I can do about this short of purchasing a new graphics card, however previous versions of iTunes have run fine.
    Can give more details if required, hoping for a fix.
    Thanks

    Try removing the Genius database.
    In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ directory and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • ITunes fails to open: please help

    Please could someone help me?
    Up until yesterday, iTunes was working fine. But then, after I had downloaded some new songs, first it kept saying that my ipod had been removed from the usb port without being ejected (but it was actually still connected to the computer at all times, and I had just left it alone). Then it recommended that I restore my ipod to factory settings, which I did.
    Then iTunes quit, and wouldn't open: the icon just bounces once and then returns to normal, with no arrow under it. This happens regardless of whether I left-click or right-click-and-select-open. I ejected and re-connected the ipod three times, restarted the computer twice, and finally tried to download the newest version of iTunes twice to fix it - it seemed to download successfully, but iTunes still wouldn't open. I then retried restarting it and disconnecting the ipod, with no success. I then tried creating another user account on the mac and starting up iTunes - still no luck. I've checked all the settings I can think of and still can't find anything. No files which need iTunes to function can be opened - I can access no aspect of itunes. (On the plus side, my music files are still stored on my computer, although I still can't access them.)
    I have also had my ipod checked and there is no problem with it.
    If anyone has a solution, or can think of anything I've missed that just might work, please say: I'm really stuck here.

    It is fixed! To inform anyone else with the same problem:
    I contacted apple and, according to them, downloading the latest version of iTunes fixed the problem with iTunes but created a compatibility issue - to fix the whole thing, I also had to download a system update to at least version 10.4.11. I did this and it works fine now.

  • Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

    when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

    I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
    Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
    I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

  • ITunes 7.5 won't open

    I recently upgraded my iTunes to version 7.5, and since the succesfull installation, iTunes will not open. iTunes is supposedly running according to task manager, but it is not using any cpu time and the window is not showing at all.
    I have recently had hard disk troubles but it has not affected any other programs. Also, once iTunes fails to open, Windows will not run any other CPU heavy programs. This is not the case in reverse.
    suggestions?

    +If it were a firewall issue, would I receive some sort of warning? Also, the issue remains identical to when I had Norton installed last week (which I never had any problem with re. accessing iTunes until the other day).+
    Actually, the mark of a firewall problem is that you tend to get no warning whatsoever (after an upgrade or install), and no error messages whatsoever with itunes launch failures. They are most typically associated with a persistent "itunes.exe" process too ... with most of the malware problems that can cause similar symptoms, typically people only see a itunes.exe show up in processes for a few seconds (if at all).
    However, there may be something new going on here, or something old but a bit exotic. So let's check on some other possibilities.
    Let's try an experiment aimed at working out if this is a systemwide thing or if it's associated with a specific XP user account.
    head into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
    now log out of the old account and log into the new account.
    does itunes launch properly from inside the new account?
    (SamGray ... if you get no joy with MSCONFIG either, reenable all those entries again, and try the same experiment.)

  • "Failed to open midi support library". What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? What to do?

    I own a new Macbook pro 15" quadcore with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    When trying to start software Reason 7 I only get the message "Failed to open midi support library".
    What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? Reinstalling Mountain Lion did not solve anything.
    What may I do? Is there separate MIDI-drivers or else that Macbook needs to be running audio at all?
    My audiocard Apogee Duet 2 is´nt working well either and I cannot even open the MIDI-window in Mac,
    so that road is blocked. I´ve seen more ppl having problem but found no explaination.
    Some say to remove midi-drivers but that folder is empty (or hidden?) when opening.
    Also, Garage Band cannot open. It´s no problem with graphic apps, only with audio/midi.
    My 2011 Macbook pro13" with OS X Lion runs like a charm. So how can this be? It really puzzles my mind.
    Have thoughts on having OS X Lion on the new Mac as well but will not do it until I know where the real problem is.
    Hope there is an easy fix to it. Thanks in advance.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • I updated itunes and now it wont open

    i updated itunes and now it wont open and keeps giving me an error message MSVCR80.dll is missing. what do i do? i dont want to lose everything

    Hi there,
    Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
    You won't lose your music when you uninstall iTunes. It's located in your music folder and won't be touched.
