ITunes 11.1 Does Not Open

I click on the iTunes icon and nothing happens, but it shows up under Processes in the Task Manager, so it is running the back ground. I have tried repairing iTunes, re-installing iTunes 3 times, repairing QuickTime, uninstalling QuickTime and running as administrator. At one point I googled this issue and someone suggested deleting certain files and I did that but it didn't work for me where it has worked for others. I've restarted multiple times and turned off AVG in case that was preventing it from opening. I've checked the "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 7" and it produces the same result. I've also restarted iTunes helper and ran Windows Update. The last thing I did was install an older version of iTunes and this happened:
I am now out of options. Just recieved my iPhone 5c in the mail today and I would greatly appreciate the help.

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone. I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work. Can you please help?

Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and get pictures from my iPhone. How do I fix this? Thanks.

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

ITunes Store app does not open

ITunes Store app does not open on my iPhone.

Go to your music app (not iTunes) click on songs then click on the store button in the left corner and it should take you to iTunes. Then try going back into iTunes thru the iTunes app again.

Itunes 7.5 does not open, but it shows up in task manager please help?

please help its been 2 months already and i cant sync my ipod cuz itunes does not open but it shows up on task manager.
i have tried every thing but still it does not work. i have reintall my itunes and quicktime like 20 times i've gone to older version but still does not work.
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELPPPPP. im desperate and tired of liseting to the same songs for 2 months

Let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes launch failures:
Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
If there's not an error message, let's check your QuickTime (its well-being is a requirement for a functioning iTunes).
Go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
Does it start?
If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
Do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?

Itunes 7.3 does not open and i can't reinstall older versions

the software upgrade made me download the last itunes version but it does not open (apparently i have an old version of macosx) and since then i can not use itunes. the old versions do not install. how could i reinstall itunes on my computer

ayeee! I'm in exactly the same place: I am stuck with a new download of iTunes 7.3, which I cannot open.
And I'm scared: if i download the upgrade on the operating system, will i LOSE all my tunes from iTunes -- or are they hidden somewhere? (they better not be lost, or i'll cry a river!0
i'm on a powerbook 10.4.6 ...
and this whole stupid thing only happened because i couldn't get vids i'd bought to play on my iTunes... so i followed the instructions to upgrade my quicktime player ... and once i HAD upgraded my quicktime player (for $30!!!) i couldn't use it, cause my operating system was old (as in: i bought this computer 9 months ago!)... and so then i thought, "gee, maybe if i uprade my iTunes, the expensive new quicktime pro will work, and i can actually see the videos I bought!"
it's like a giant catch-22.... ayeeeee! help!

ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.
Toshiba Satellite Windows Vista

No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

Itunes or Quicktime does not open !!!

Ok I frist tried to upgrade my previous Itunes 6 to Itunes 7.0.1
Then after downloading and everything I try opening Itunes
Next I get the Lisciencing Page (agree-decline)
After that nothing happens ...
Itunes would just have its arrow pointing at it ... and I would have to force quit
Then I read I needed a higher version of Quicktime - So I beleive that the problem is the Quicktime ....
Download QT 7
From here the Quicktime does not even open anymore ....
Mess with a couple things install reinstall ... take the itunes recipt out of the library ad such but still does not work
So I decide to straight re install my Mac OS from the ground up ....
Back Up everything
Install everything ... download itunes 7.0.1 quicktime 7
It works ...
From here i decided to drop my music i saved on an external hard drive ...
Now whenever I try to open Itunes ... Itunes does the same thing from where I tried to fix ...
It Doesnt open just sits on the dock .... forcing to quit again ...
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHATS WRONG ...

What system software does your computer have?
Your info says 10.0.x, but that can't be true if you previously ran iTunes 6.
If you did an Erase and Install or an Archive and Install, you should not have problems when you're at least running OS X 10.3.9.
You may read Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4: Some Apple applications don't open to see if it applies to your situation.
Hope this helps.

Itunes bounces, but does not open

Since installing 8.1, when i click to open itunes it bounces, has the appearance of opening, and then just stops, and does nothing. why? how can i fix it?

Hi jack42white,
pls take a look at your console.app inside Utilities inside Applications.
Most likely you'll find a crash report like this:
Link (dyld) error:
Symbol not found: _SecKeychainSearchCreateFromAttributes
Referenced from: /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
Now, if this is the case your last update screwed up your security executeable at the stated position (Systen/Library/frameworks/ etc).
Please go there, and look if you see 2 security files, one labeled "security_debug"
This is a relic of a security update which didn't perform properly.
You now have 2 options:
1. Erase the "security_debug" and replace "Security" with a new one which might be tricky for you if you don't have the opportunity to install and upgrade your OS (Tiger, right?) to the latest 10.4.11
AND
2. if you don't feel skilled enough to use the terminal, since you have to do this copy procedere via the terminal as suod (Superuser).
if you can answer both questions with yes, post it here and I will help you through the copying process.
If Option 1 is nothing for you you need to install a new system.
Good luck!

HT4059 I purchased a book in iTunes but it does not open. It was saved in Books in iTunes. How do I open the book to read?

How do I open a book purchased from iTunes and saved in Books?

If this is an iBook, they can be read only on an iPad, iPod touch or iPhone. The same would apply to books sold in the iTunes Store as iOS apps.

When the iPAD is in recovery and the iTunes is visible on screen, it does not open automatically. How do I open it?

The iPad is disabled. I followed directions to put it in recovery mode. The screen appeared with iTunes. It does not open automatically. How can I open it?

You've connected the iPad to your computer and you have iTunes open on your computer (your computer's iTunes may not automatically open) - does that not recognise that an iPad in recovery mode has been connected to it ? If your iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then try these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows .
Mac : iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

TS3297 Every time I open iTunes to listen to music, not access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box, over and over again. When I try to access the iTunes Store it does not except my password. This has happened since the last update.

Everytime I open iTunes to play music, NOT to access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box for the iTunes Store. If I click cansel the box pops up a second time.
When I try to sign in to the iTunes Store it does not except the password and pops up the sign in box afain,and again endlessly.
This started happening about two weeks ago.

if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

Itunes 10.6.1 does not open- Windows XP

Good Evening Gang,
I recently reinstalled windows XP and downloaded the new itunes 10.6. Itunes starts with the end user agreement and does not open after I accept. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work and I cannot sync any of my apple devices. I have 1. Reinstalled itunes 2. Trusted itunes in the anivirus program 3. Reinstalled XP. I have not had this problem of the past 5 years. Below are my specs. Is this an issue for 10.6 as this is frustrating as I cannot buy music or sync any devices? Is there a workaround? Can I get a previous version?
Any help would be great.
Computer: Dell Dimension 8400 (Old School but still running like a gem)
OS: XP Service pack 3
AnriVirus: Norton 2012 Internet security

Thanks for the quick response. Did not work. I tried to repair
But there was only an option to remove/uninstall?
iTunes opens to the end user agreement and when I hit agree,
Nothing happens. This is frustrating and I am about to give up.
Can it be norton Internet security 2012? I used previous versions
Of iTunes with norton with no problem. Why is this version 10.6 being
A pain? Any help as I would like update my iPad and devices...
