ITunes 100% completely broken

So, I get home from class today and turn on iTunes (v.7.1.1). the program stays open for about 30 seconds and then quits unexpectedly. It asks me to reopen or send a report. I reopen. Nothing happens. It asks me to try again or send a report. I tell it to try again. Nothing happens. It asks me to reopen or send a report. I send a report.
I try to open iTunes again and get the exact same result. It stays open for 30 seconds and quite for no good reason. I restart my computer. Same deal when I open iTunes after restarting. I delete iTunes, and redownload it from apple.com. Same thing happens. I delete it again, redownload it and restart my computer. Same thing happens. I use Appzapper to completely get rid of all iTunes related files, everything. I completely reinstall iTunes after redownloading it AGAIN from apple.com. SAME. THING. HAPPENS. Only now, since I deleted all the iTunes files all my settings are gone. So during my 30 second window, I redo all my settings. I quit iTunes myself before it quits automatically. I reopen iTunes. SAME **** THING HAPPENS YET AGAIN.
So I have no freaking clue what is going on, or what could have caused this, as I never messed with anything, I didn't add any new files to the library or anything like that. I just opened it, like I had down just yesterday, and now the problem doesn't seem to want to go away.
Anyone? Anyone got any ideas on this on?

Have you tried 'Repairing Permissions', it is an option in Disc Utility.
It might help with a damaged application.

  • ITunes is completely broken since the last update!

    Since the last time I updated both iTunes (10.4.0.80) and iOS (4.3.5) on my iPod touch, I can't do anything!! 
    Every time I open iTunes, i eats up 50% of my CPU while Mobile Device Manager eats up the other 50%.  This is the case EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING!!  I don't have enough CPU left to back up or sync ... no that there's anything TO sync since I can't access the Store.
    When I click on the link to go to the iTunes store, the program tries for 15-20 seconds, then just gives up and leaves me staring at a blank page.
    Does anybody have any idea what's broken and how to fix it?  This is on Windows 7.

    Thank you Ed for your reaction.
    At home with version 8.0 there is a artwork tab. At work I have version 8.1.1.10 and there is if I do it the way you discribe only a place to drop the jpg. if I select the whole album. After dropping the .jpg it apears in the square but after clicking OK the .jpg wil not apear in the library. I'm doing this for years without any problems. I can't get it.

  • Help Me My Itunes is completly broken!

    Okay so first of all i uninstalled iTunes, fine. I've uninstalled and re-installed before but this time it keeps coming up with these 3 messages!
    Number 1: Itues.exe- Entry Point Not found
    Message reads:   The procedure entry point ADiadID_AcquireMatchSlotIFNecessary could not be located in the dynamic link libary iADCore.dll.
    Number 2: Itunes was not installed correctly. please re-install Itunes.
    message reads: error 7 (windows error 127)
    number 3 (which i think ive fixed) error 2
    PLEASE HELP NOT HAVING ITUNES IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Spotlight completely broken even after troubleshooting

    Ok , i must say i HATE Spotlight. I always have, mainly because it never has worked fast enough for me, and has been problematic since day one.
    Having said that I am still forced to use it to find things on my system but now it's completely broken. When I type in the Spotlight window, it hangs even after the first letter, like it usually does, but now it has added a new trick in that it refuses to find anything at all.
    Fine. I'll force OSX to rebuild the database.
    Go into terminal, type in the appropriate command that 100 billion posts in discussion say to do, and I get nothing. It does nothing. No rebuild. Nothing. I check Activity monitor to see if it's working. Nothing. This is also after I've trashed the prefs and Spotlight refuses to even build a new prefs file.
    So, I go to System prefs, open the Spotlight tab, and try to drag my volume to the privacy window to get it to dump the dbase. The volume never shows up. Try adding it using the button. Nothing.
    I trashed the Finder prefs too, and at least that fixed the problem with Finder locking up every time I did a Get Info on a file, but didn't help Spotlight at all.
    One other minor good thing is, once I trashed the Spotlight prefs, at least now my system will reboot in under 5 minutes time, since I'm sure that Spotlight was the cause of that problem as well.
    Dear Apple. Spotlight *****. In the meantime can someone offer other suggestions BESIDES reinstalling Tiger. Thanks.

    Bryan,
    I don't know about you but re-installing the entire OS should only be a desperate last measure. I haven't done it in years, and hope never to have to, since it would require at least a full day of my time, what with finding all the upgrades (on a dialup connection !!!), installing them, and then re- inputting all my data into the various places where it's needed. And yet that's what we now regularly find TIger users advised to do, just because of one dumb thing: Spotlight. And even if you DO go down this route and re-install Tiger, it's a sure bet something will go wrong again with Spotlight anyway.
    ONe of the simplest, quickest things any computer user needs to do is find a file, any file, fast, and then get on with whatever it was they needed the file for. Apple seems to think we find the process so fascinating that we could spend the whole day doing it.
    Try Easyfind instead of Spotlight. It's far from ideal but as things stand with the Mac OS, it's the only way to find your files.
    You can download it from here
    http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html
    Oh, BTW, did you know that in a desperate attempt to make Spotlight work, Apple decided that it won't index everything?
    I hope Easyfind makes your life a little better

  • Aperture wont open and says "repairing library database" even when 100% complete it still wont open

    my aperture won't open and says "repairing library database"  even when it gets up to 100% complete it just suts there frozen and won't open to the aperture screen

    How many Images?  How much storage space does the Library occupy?  Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive?
    Ignore the progress bar — it's often stuck, and therefore unreliable.
    Ignore Activity Monitor reporting Aperture "Not Responding".  This is, imho, a bug Apple should have squashed years ago.
    Repairing (or doing any operations an entire Library) a large Library can take hours or days.  You did not report what you did to get past 79% — I'm going to guess you Force-quit Aperture.  Force-quitting any database is always a bad idea and should only be done as a last resort.  Each time you force quit, you are likely adding to your problem.
    Restart the rebuild, and let it run, unmolested, for at least 40 hours.  IME, at some point the progress bar with jump to 99%, then 100%, and then stay there for perhaps a few more hours, and then it finishes.
    I have _never_ had a repair or a rebuild (I have not had to do many rebuilds) _not_ finish.  One took about 82 hours, but it finished.
    If your Library is small — say, fewer than 100,000 Images _and_ smaller than 100 GB — and you're seeing these very long rebuild times, you likely have an actual problem — but the only way I know to find out is to let the rebuild continue.  (I don't store any but small video in Aperture, and very few of them, so my numbers may not correspond to Libraries that store videos.)
    Did you notice any other problems before Aperture itself recommended rebuilding?
    In short: let it run unmolested.

  • While playing a game on my IPad when I try to purchase additional gems I get a message to contact ITunes to complete the transaction and it won't let me make the purchase unless I purchase a lessor amount.  anyone else had this problem?

    When I try to purchase more gems when playing The restaurant Story, I have a problem.  I get a message to contact ITunes to complete the transaction.  This is an internal problem and has nothing to do with my accounts credit card or anything.  I had this problem before and it took forever to get it corrected.  I could not even get a response from Itunes.  I had t contact Apple and they contacted Itunes and it was corrected immediately.  It has worked fone for the past couple of months but now it is back to the same thing.  Has anyone else  experienced this problem and if so what did you do to correct it?
    any help will be greatly appreciated !

    Hi, I got the same problem. Did you fix your problem? How did you fix it? Thanks.

  • HT201263 I see the "Connect to iTunes" screen and the device appears in iTunes. Everytime I connect to iTunes, iTunes says my device is in recovery mode and has to be recovered so I do so. The same recovery message shows in iTunes after iTunes is complete

  • HT1529 The latest version of iTunes has completely changed my ability to access my iTunes.  I can no longer burn a CD that will play on anything other than another computer.

    The latest version of iTunes has completely changed the format and also why will it not allow me to burn a CD compatible with other devices?

    I'm using iTunes 11.1.1 on a Mac mini running OS 10.7.5 and I burn CDs which play in this machine's external optical drive, my car, and the Pioneer audio CD players downstairs.  I typically use Verbatim recordble CDs. After selecting the playlist I want to burn, I make sure that "Audio CD" is selected - this has always been the default for me.  If this isn't working for you, I don't know what to say - but I'd suspect the drive you're using to burn CDs is getting wonky.
    Good luck

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete

    Hi All,
    I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is 
    100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
    I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!

    Not a reply but another plea for help.
    There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
    -Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
    -Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
    -Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
    -Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
    -Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
    -Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
    -Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
    -Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
    -Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
    -Reinstalled HP software from disc.
    Still didn't work.
    -Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
    8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
    [But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
    Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
    There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.

    Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
    Thanks,
