Itunes 5 will not start at all

I upgraded to Itunes 5 and it just hangs. I am using OS 10.3.9. I found out that if I re-start my computer with shift key pressed, like OS 9 used to do, it will open it. I'm Trying to find out what is causing Itunes 5 to hang like that. I did the same upgrade on my Power book using 10.3.7 and it works fine. I wish I would have seen this page before the upgrade. I would have kept 4.9. Please HELP!!!! THANKS
Jose

I didn't even noticed about quicktime 7. Same thing here. I went back to 6.5.2 and now it works. THANKS!!!!! But are you saying I have to go back to Itunes 4.9. If yes, how did you do it? Thanks again.
Jose

    Hello, Jdragone. 
    Thanks for the question.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

    If you receive any errors when uninstalling any components of iTunes, try the steps in the article below for each component that gives you an error.

  • ITunes/Quicktime will not start.

    iTunes/Quicktime will not start. Nor will anything quicktime dependant start. (Like Adobe Go Live) I recently reformated one of my Windows PCs and reinstalled m$ windows xp pro. I begain installing nessacary software and when I was done with iTunes/Quicktime (Why the heck is it now bundled?) it would not start. Could it be a codec conflict problem? I also tried reinstalling iTunes/Quciktime and nothing changed...
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    hi trackmanxs!
    then i got the new quicktime and i am gettin error -1316 and -1603....someone please help
    here's what we'll try first with that one.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
    once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Itunes library will not close down all the way

    My iTunes library will not close down all the way.  When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

    You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
    Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
    Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

  • HT1420 My Itunes Library will not open at all. the icon will spin when i click on it but it won't open

    My Itunes Library will not open at all. When I click on Itunes the icon spins and nothing will pull up. 

    Try resetting your device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, ignoring the red power down slider, and release the buttons when you see hte silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    You won't lose any data, it's juat the apple equivalent of 'control/alt/delete' and often clears up glitches

  • Satellite L450D-13U will not start at all

    Yesterday the screen on my L450D when blank and then the machine closed down.
    Now it will not start at all.
    There are no lights on display when the power cable is attached.
    When the start button is pressed all that happens is there is a momentary flash of the On light (not sure if that's the right name) and the DVD light.
    You can also hear the fan starting up but that immediately goes off.
    That's all that happens.
    I've tried without the battery, tried discharging the battery.
    Has my laptop just died?
    Is there any hope or should I just move on?

    I will agree with checking your RAM.
    The best way to do so before you buy anything is to check each stick.
    Remove the battery and AC cord, and press the power button several times to make sure the system is fully discharged.
    Once it is discharged, ground yourself and pull the RAM cover. Remove the top stick ONLY. Plug the laptop back in, and try to boot it.
    If you get nothing, swap the stick you pulled for the one that is still in the system, and try again.
    After that, if it still does not want to boot up, take it to a shop. It could be something as simple as the BIOS battery being dead, or a burnt out power mosfet.

  • Firefox will not start at all ... not even profile mananger will start

    After an auto overnight reboot initiated by a Windows update (XP 5.1 SP3) Firefox will not start at all ... not even Profile Manager ... all that happens is a few seconds of hourglass on the cursor and then nothing ... this is happening on two different computers at the same time ... identical symptoms ... any advice?
    == After overnight reboot by auto Windows update

    I had the problem after I restarted the computer when Firefox indicated that was needed to install updates. After that every attempt to start Firefox resulted in no response at all. I went to my program list and found Firefox Safe Mode. That started OK. I then closed it. After that Firefox started OK.

  • Finder folder with question mark, now will not start at all!!!

    Hey guys, I was working in Avid and i opened up Quicktime, all of a sudden i got a crash log. So i restarted, upon restart i got the finder folder with the blinking question mark. I tried restarting with the OS9 cd by holding down the C button, no luck there. So i moved onto the next step, resetting the PRAM, no luck there (just sat on black for numerous minutes until i let up, then the folder came back). Then I moved onto resetting th PMU, now it will not start up at all. I restart, and all i see is a black screen, nothing. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    The machine im workin on is a Powermac G4 (quicksilver), OS9, 1.5 G Ram, machine bases around Avid Editing system
    Rhyno

    Ok let me clarify this.
    1)system crashed restarted and got the folder with the ?
    2) tried to boot from the OS 9 CD no luck? it did not boot?
    3)reset pram and still the flashing ?
    4) Reset the PMU chip and the mac is dead won't start up at all?
    a couple of ideas too...
    did you press the pmu button more than once?
    Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly etc.
    Check the Pram battery to see if it might be dead it should read between 3.3v and 3.7v
    also try to restart the computer without other devices plugged into it (USB Firewire, keyboard, even monitor.
    hmm...

  • My mac book will not start at all

    Suddenly my mac book pro will not turn off.  first it started with the computer cutting off rather than going to sleeep then it started cutting off while I was using it.  I became worried that there was a problem and went to back up the hard drive on an external hard drive but suddenly the computer would not start at all.  before that happened i would get the gray screen with the dial and a bar underneath.  Help!

  • Firefox will not start at all

    New versions of Firefox will not start and only bring up the crash reporter. I've tried starting in safe mode, I've deleted/created new Profiles and I've uninstalled/installed Firefox over and over. I can still download 28.0 and it has no problem opening. Below is the latest Crash ID from 35.0

    hello sid.robinson, this crash is caused by the "Digital Guardian" software by Verdasys that is running on your computer. Please see if there's an update available for that program.

  • My MacBook Pro will not start at all., My MacBook Pro will not start at all.

    The only previous problem was a few days ago the colors on my display looked a little off/fuzzy. I immediately restarted and the problem didn't return. Then today, I had it shut but when I opened it it was off and will not start again. It sounds like it's on as there's a slight fan noise, also the charge lights go up to fully charged. But there is no noise or anything when I try to start it.
    I'm not sure  if this is a coincidence, butt I started using a new charger today. It was second hand but the same one as before.
    It was purchased in early 2012, not sure what OS.  Any help is appreciated!

  • Firefox crashes - will not start at all

    If I try and start Firefox all I get is the Mozilla Crash Reporter, if I try and restart Fireofox from the Crash Reporter screen all I get presented with is the Mozila Crash Reporter again. If I try and submit a crash report the Crash Reporter states "there was a problem submitting your report", hence no crash ID available.
    The issue started when I updated my old, maybe version 5, Firefox with version 9, since then I have been unable to start Firefox.
    I have tried unistalling Firefox, including deleting personal settings, and restarting the PC in between deleting Firefox and attempting to reinstall it. None of this works. Firefox will also not start in safe mode.
    Mozilla Crash Reporter details added to the below Troubleshooting Information info box.

    Does Firefox start if you boot Windows in Safe mode (press F8 on the boot window)?
