Itunes 10.7 freezing/will not open

Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a new mac mini. I've set up the computer, transferred files, and updated my software. Everything seems to be working great, with the exception of itunes. When I attempt to open itunes one of two things happens - 1) nothing or 2) if wait long enough, itunes will appear, but it's unresponsive - I get the spinning ball if I click on anything. As I type this, I've been waiting for about 10 minutes for a song to begin playing.
Any ideas? I'm not getting any error messages at this point or seeing anything else that suggests what is causing the problem.
Not sure it matters, but the new computer is a mac mini running OS X 10.8.2, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB memory and itunes version 10.7.
Thanks.

I tried removing Bonjour, and it didn't work for me. I should mention my Windows 7 is 64-bit. Just like mervingry, I get no error messages - it simply doesn't open. Help!

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

HT2311 Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: What to do??

Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: WHAT TO DO?
Recently I updated to Snow Leopard from 10.5.8 and then updated to 10.6.8. The recent update to itunes 10.7 has completely failed as iTunes fails to boot up and just send a message to Apple. So now I cannot access my music library. I tried deleting the new iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling iTunes 10.6.3 and also 10.3.1 with exactly the same result. I did the installation after turning off as many background software items as I could like Sophos Anti Virus and Little Snitch. This makes one want to give up on software updates - I have had an increasing number of failures as my machine gets to 5 years old.

OK - I have found my own fix in an older thread / discussion:-

Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. I am using Lion.

I am using Lion and Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. It goes into an ongoing loop that only allows a force quit. I repaired permissions but it didn't help. The only way to upgrade my OS for ipod is through Itunes on the computer!

It looks like the iPhoto window but stays on a blank white screen with the spinning ball. I have to force quit to stop it.

I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now it will not open.

I opened my iTunes a day ago, and the "Download new version" came up.
I went and downloaded it and ever since iTunes will not open no matter what, I have tryed many ways to open it and it still wont open.
When I go to log off, shutdown, or restart my computer, it will not. I can only shut it down and I have to do it maunally. But if I wait around for it to shutdown, ect. a "Ending Program" annoucement comes up and has the iTunes icon, but for the name of the progrom it is only a bunch of little and big boxes.
I do not know what to do, I have unistalled iTunes and Quicktime, then installed it again and still nothing. I even tryed to do the "Repair" that comes up when you already have it installed and still nothing.
Can anyone help me? Or does anyone else have this problem?

hey peeps i got a possible answer to our prolems. i contacted apple support and this is what they gave me:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
In Windows, some background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications such as iTunes and QuickTime Player from working correctly, opening, or even installing. You might be able to resolve these conflicts by disabling some items using the System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG) in Windows XP. This utility is not included with Windows 2000.
Important: Disabling third-party System Services and Startup Items can prevent some software or OEM hardware on your computer from working correctly. For example, this can affect the CD/DVD control buttons on portable computers.
1. On the Start menu, click Run. A Run window (command prompt) appears.
2. Type msconfig in the Open field and click OK. The System Configuration Utility opens.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Select the "Selective Startup" option.
5. Deselect the "Load Startup Items" checkbox.
6. Click the Startup tab.
7. Select the "iTunesHelper" and "qttask" checkboxes in the list.
8. Click the Services tab.
9. Make sure that "Hide All Microsoft Services" is selected.
10. Click Disable All.
11. Select the iPodService checkbox in the list.
12. Click OK.
13. Click Restart.
If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.

ITunes installs properly, but will not open

I have just upgraded from iTunes 6.0.1 to 6.0.2
Everything installed correctly, and I am receiving no error messages; the program simply will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, and I have exactly the same problem each time.
My music files (including ones that I purchased from Apple's music store) will open with other players, but will not open with the newly installed v6.0.2
I am running Norton Internet security, but the problem still occurs after I disable the program.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Gateway 400VTX Windows XP

Well, that annoying. So, I am a bit confused here. Does iTunes launch at all or sometimes? BTW, You need to Configure Norton to allow iTunes to open. Otherwise, it will continue to block it silently.
Do you see, under your Processes tab in your Windows Task Manager, both Quicktime and iTunes?

Windows Vista Issue: iTunes auto-updated, now will not open

Computer: Dell XPS 400
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
I was running a version of iTunes that I recently downloaded after installing Windows Vista Ultimate. Yesterday, Apple Updater updated my iTunes install to version 7.1.3.1 and now iTunes will not open.
I have tried uninstalling, registry cleaners, running as administrator, using compatibility mode, etc. I have tried virtually everything listed on these forums and nothing has worked.
iTunes.exe will run under Processes in Task Manager, but will never open.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is Apple planning on fixing this apparant bug in future releases?

This problem is evidently extremely common, as there are many posts saying essentially the same thing about 7.3.1. I installed it and ran into a number of problems immediately, the least of which was that iTunes does not run. The UI appears, but never gets focus so does not respond to any mouse or KB events. There is no error message of any kind. Deleting the preferences files does nothing. Deep removal of all things iTunes (folders, leftover registry keys, etc.) followed by a clean reinstall does not change the situation.
Worse, 7.3.1 uses lots of CPU power (both cores >50% for seconds at a time) while doing exactly nothing. While I appreciate that Apple and Microsoft are dedicated to ensuring that no CPU is left unhammered, this is a bit much.
I have the same version as a clean (first time ever) iTunes install on an XP laptop, and that, so far, is benign.

Updated to iTunes 11 now it will not open or uninstall- Windows 8 64bit

Updated to iTunes 11 using the "check for updates" tab on iTunes. I installed and realized it will not open. Turns out it installed the 32bit version (I did not have any option to choose between 32bit and 64bit). Nothing was going right so I attemped to unistall it using the controll panel and going to unistall programs. It in a way uninstalled, there is no iTunes folder on my hard drive or anything so I am guessing it did uninstall? Anyways, I attemted to download and install iTunes 11 (The actually 64bit) again but here is what happens: It will download everything but it will not open to install. Help?

ITunes freezes / will not open / will not sync / will not detect Iphone

I am having numerous problems with iTunes. A few days ago iTunes began to freeze after opening, or not open at all. If it did open, it would not detect my iphone and would freeze when I plugged it in.
After reviewing these forums, I completely un-installed and re-installed iTunes, Quicktime, all the Apple Support applications, and Bonjour. I had to do this several times. I also ran anti-virus software, registry error software, disk-error checking software, with no results. I also ran a system restore to a date when iTunes was working. Eventually I got to a point where iTunes would open somewhat reliably, although slowly. However it would still not detect my iPhone, would often freeze after I connected my iPhone. Additionally, all of my audio files (music and podcasts) would not be detected by iTunes, and their associated libraries would show as empty, however the files were in the correct location on my hard drive.
I do not know what to do from this point...I have un-installed and re-installed iTunes upwards of a dozen times now, that can not be the problem. To the best of my knowledge, this problem began happening at random; I did not install any new software or make any changes to my system immediately prior to these problems occurring. Right now, after another re-install I am back to a point where I can't even get iTunes to open. Any help would be appreciated.
My System info:
Computer: Asus Notebook UL50VT/UL50Vg Series
OS: Windows 7 Home premium
iTunes version: iTunes 10.1.1 for Windows 64-bit
iPhone: 4.2.1
Please Help!
Thank you

Try this open your music app and access the store from there first, once done then you can go to the iTunes store app, try it and see if it works

Itunes 11.1.3 will not open after Mavericks installation.

After installing Mavericks, Itunes refuses to open.
No errors or menu options display and library window does not open. Have tried reinstalling Mavericks with same issue, and wishing to avoid clean install.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Itunes Installs Correctly, but will not Open

Hello
I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows XP and I installed it correctly yet when I attempt to open it the hourglass appears for a second and then disappears and no iTunes. I tried to open it with the process list in front of me and saw that it indeed opens but then disappears off the list. Please help. I do not have any firewalls running, am an administrator on my computer, have tried uninstalling-reinstalling several time on different Windows accounts but nothing has worked.
Please help me. Thank You.

I'm having the exact same problem I think. Spent about an hour on the phone with tech support, installing and uninstalling to no avail.
Basically, when I would click on the itunes icon, it would try to open.Sometimes, a white EULA screen would pop up VERY fast and close immediately....I couldn't click on anything. Other times, nothing except hourglass. Same behavior as others in task manager.
Tried opening things up in safe mode and got much further. It wouldn't open everytime...sometimes, I have to shut down in task manager a couple of times, but it would open eventually. Once I couldn't open and had to shut down, but it does eventually open.
Now here's the important part (I think): After accepting the EULA in safe mode, I get an error message that says " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio config. Audio / Video playback may not operate properly." Everytime I open it now in safe mode, get the same message. In normal mode, iTunes behaves exactly as before (.exe pops up in TM, but does nothing and closes) with no error. So I'm thinking that this "audio config problem" is causing iTunes to shutdown in normal mode.
I'm still working on figuring out how to get rid of error. I've tried disabling everything under Sound in device manager...no help. I also tried removing Windows Media PLayer's association with all files thinking one file type may have 2 default programs.
Anyone else with this problem able to confirm similar error? (use F8 during startup to get into safe mode) Let me know if you figure anything out or have ideas of what may be conflicting.
