Itunes 11.4 will not open

I just updated my iMac (2.66 Ghz Intel, with 2GB memory, and 230 GB available HD space ) to 10.6.8 via
System Preferences auto update. Along with the system update came iTunes 11.4. Now, when I click on the iTunes icon on
the dock it bounces a few times then just stops and iTunes will not open. I have tried opening it from the Applications folder
but it then behaves the same way. According to the Apple web site my computer meets all of the requirements for 11.4.
Any ideas ?

Linc,
Yesterday, before I ever saw your replay, I did a Time Machine restore from August (backed up everything new/modified since then) and started fresh.
I got a crash at once when I tried to load one of my old libraries.
So, I deleted all the old libraries and I have been redoing all of the family devices from scratch and haven't had a single issue.  Even went through the 11.4 update, and still no issues.
So, I'm thinking something got corrupted in a few of my most commonly loaded and updated libraries and that was the source of my issues.
We'll see how things go.
Thanks for all the advice and tidbits.

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes 11.1 will not open after downloading.

    iTunes 11.1 will not open after downloading; iTunes64.msi is "missing". I can't uninstall the present iTunes version (11.0.5.5). Any ideas? Please?

    *****FIXED*****
    This is what I did to fix it.  I am running Win7 so I don't know if it will work on Win 8 or not. 
    1-Uninstalled QuickTime
    2-Uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Manager
    3-Uninstalled Apple Software Update Manager
    4-Uninstalled iTunes
    5-Uninstalled iCloud
    6-Uninstalled any left over Apple software
    7-Restarted Computer

    I did not install iCloud.  I was able to authorize my PC and Sync did work.

  • I bought an mp3 download of a cd online (not in iTunes) and it will not open in itunes.

    I tried everything. Importing the songs through file, add to library, which usually works. I tried double clicking it and clicking "open with itunes". I even tried dragging each song individually and dropping into itunes but nothing will work! Please help!
    Also, the files are completely fine. They open in Quicktime and play just fine. They just will not open in itunes.

    Have you tried going to menu > file > option+create new version > create AAC and select tracks from your disc. You track should be converted as they are added to library.
    You will need to change import preference to AAC if you have have them set as mp3.

  • Itunes version 11 will not open with windows 8 pro, itunes version 11 will not open with windows 8 pro

    I install the new itunes version 11 .The program will not open. What is the problem . I have windows 8 pro.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite It's a nightmare!!  Itunes and Safari will not open Iphoto does not exist and the list goes on!!

    I've spent all day trying to fix all the problems I'm encountered after updating to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro today.  It's been a waste of a day.  Nothing I have researched has helped.  I wish I never updated.  What is ironic that most of the things that do not work or Apple i products.  I don't understand cloud but have a feeling this is the cause of most of the problems.
    After update my computer prompted me to say cannot connect to Icloud Drive (What I don't understand I cloud and didn't know I had an Icloud drive). 
    Itunes will not open at all and it does not even try to open(I've downloaded it again to no avail).
    Iphoto has a Circle slash mark through it so it's not even avaliable.
    Safari will not open just like Itunes.
    Icloud in preferences just keeps spinning like it's looking for Icloud drive. (Even though I don't use this I feel it is the problem)
    So I have no access to my music, my photos  cannot get on the internet with Safari Browser.
    I'm afraid of what else probably doesn't work but I've been so consumed with the top three I haven't got to really explore the rest of all the apps.
    My main concern at the moment are my pictures and my music.
    Please Help, Thank you so much!!

    iPhoto is still in your Applications folder. Your iPhoto Library is still where it was.

  • Itunes or quicktime will not open

    I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????

    Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
    If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.

  • Itunes 6.0 will not open in windows

    The new version of itunes will not open but in the windows task manager it shows that itunes is running. I want to know how to fix this problem, see if norton anti virus is causing the problem, or will apple release a new version of itunes that fixes this problem.

    hi Gregory!
    I want to know how to fix this problem, see if norton anti virus is causing the problem,
    are you running Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, that's been causing this to people on installs/upgrades since 4.8.
    if it's just itunes processes being blocked, you can fix it using these techniques:
    b noir, "itunes wont open" #6, 02:11pm Oct 3, 2005 CDT
    ... but if that doesn't work, you're probably getting QT processes blocked too, and you should try "Lorraine":
    Lorraine M, "NIS/i-tunes problem rectified" #2, 01:51am Oct 17, 2005 CDT
    keep us posted.

  • My itunes or safari will not open after update

    How do I get my itunes and safari to open? After I updated yesterdayu and restarted my computer, it will not open.

    I've had the same problem since updating (last summer to 10.5.4) and apparently thousands of others too. Apple has remained silent and the latest 10.5.5. update does not address the issue.
    What troubleshooting have you done to locate the problem?
    Have you filed a bug report with Apple?

  • ITunes downloads but will not open.

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime but it will not open up on my computer. I had QuickTime before, and that works fine, I can use that program normally. But my iTunes just doesn't open. When I click on it, the hourglass appears for a few seconds then nothing happens. I have tried the suggested problem solvers that are already on the apple site, but they haven't fixed my problem. I was wondering if there is anything else I could do?

    I helped a friend today with his new iPod. He had not updated since I installed version 6. When the installation of QuickTime/iTunes 7 was done, I rebooted the computer. I ran into the same issue as you each time I tried to launch iTunes. The screen would flash once, the hourglass cursor would appear for a few seconds, then nothing. Then I realized I was using an old shortcut from the Windows Start menu. Oops. Once I found the newly installed iTunes application and double-clicked on it, iTunes launched and we were good to go. Created a new iTunes account, redeemed the gift card I gave him, imported some CDs and sync'd the new iPod so he was happy. I went home happy knowing that he is going to be an iTunes addict just like me.

  • I downloaded the latest version of itunes, now it will not open on my iMac

    I just downloaded the latest version of itunes, restarted my iMac, and now itunes will not open.. it bounces once in the dock,

    Go to your applications folder and start iTunes from there.  If that works you need to drag the application to the Dock.

  • ITunes 9.1 will not open

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program per the Apple support site's instructions, but for some reason iTunes will not open for me. The icon bounces in the dock twice and then stops jumping. No windows/notifications/alerts appear.
    What should I try next?
    Thanks in advance,

    I just discovered a condition to make my iTunes crash reliably. Go into column view (View -> Column Browser -> Show Column Browser). iTunes works normally until you move the mouse into any of the column browsing regions. At that point my CPU meter pegs and a crash follows shortly afterwards. Can anybody else confirm this behavior?
    I've tried removing Flip4Mac (without reinstalling it) and also reinstalling iTunes, with plenty of restarts sprinkled in, and even transplanting in an old preference file from pre iTunes 9.1 and 10.6.3. I can use iTunes 9.1, but I just have to give up on the column browser . In case it matters, I'm also using FileVault.

  • Since iTunes update it will not open & it fouls up internet

    Since my iTunes automatically updated it will not open. When I try to open it my web browser no longer works. I have to reboot the computer in order to use my web browser. When I tell the computer to restart it gives me a "QT Helper is not responding" message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quick Time and iTunes both, with no positive resolution. Is this a problem others are having and is there a fix for it. I REALLY miss my iTunes!

    Try disabling your anti virus software and turning off the Firewall.

  • Downloaded update iTunes, now program will not open!

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem.  I downloaded the newer version of iTunes to my PC today, now it will not open the application.  I have unistalled and tried redownloading a couple times now, it still will not work.  I am runnnig Windows 7 64 bit.  Thanks

    Try following steps one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.
