ITunes 6 will not work on my Mac

I have an older G4 and have been running iTunes since I upgraded to OSX about a year and a half ago. Never any problems. Just recently got an iPod from a friend and have been using that with no probs. for about 2 weeks. I was promped to update both iTunes and iPod software and did so like I always have. Now iTunes wont open at all. no error message, nothing. I trashed my old iTunes and re-installed a new one, no good. All of my software is updated. I am running OSX 10.3.9. I have seen many of the same postings but they all seem to be coming from PC users... hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Run the Disk Utility application and have it Repair Permisisons on your main hard drive. Reboot and try iTunes again.
And next time make your post to one of the Mac forums. This is a Windows forum.

Help! LimeWire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it out and had to get the new LimeWire. It keeps asking for Java 1.6 but I'm having no luck. :O( LimeWire was the reason I bought a Mac!

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

HT203585 My FaceTime and iMessage will not work on my mac. How do i fix this?

Once I subscribe to iTunes Match, will it work on all MACs using that ID?

Home and Work computers both have my APple ID for iTunes. Will this work with ITunes Match?

Here's a related issue - If you have music imported from a CD to one Mac, and you subscribe to ITunes Match from that machine, and then authorize a second Mac (which is pretty instantaneous as Douglas mentioned), the music library now shows up on the second Mac, as all located in iCloud. However, I can't find a way to download from iCloud to the second Mac so as to have the music also in the second machine, which is not always connected to the internet, particuarly while traveling, except to click on one song at a time. The instructions say it can be done as "download all" on an iPhone or iPad, where is it on the second Mac?

Lexmark 1200 Series All in 1 Will not work on my MAC

I recently purchased a Lexmark 1200 series all in one an it will not work. Plug n play doesn't happen so i went through system pref, clicked printer and add printer. It seen it plugged in via usb so i clicked it then it said select drive. The driver for this model isn't there. I did a software update, didn't work so I searched online and cant find anything and neither did the official lexmark site.
Don't know what model mac I have. All I know is its a new mac book so ignore what my OS is.
Thanks

Hi mrburgess187!
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I went to Lexmark's website and under OS compatibility I didn't see your printer listed for OS X compatibility.

HT2204 Itunes password will not work when I purchase items after reseting passwords

Have used Itunes for years with no incident. Now, every time I try to purchase a song, book, app...it prompts me for my username and password. Despite knowing it....it will not work. I've logged out / logged back in several times no luck. I've updated my password successfully. But again, each time I try to purchase something, I type in my username / password and it says that it is not correct. ***. Have recently even updated Itunes to make sure everything there is up to date. Is there some virus that could be involved here. HELP!!

Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

Should I try this? I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure
Thanks

Should I try this?
No.
It won't work.
Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
The cards are not interchangeable.

Adobe Flash Player Will Not Work with Safari Mac OS 10.9.2

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS 10.9 and get Plug-in error when I try to run it. Before the suggested update, Flash Player ran fine. I would not have tried the update except the files on the web site that I am usinf had a symnbol statiing that the later version of Flash Player was required for it to run.
I did what Adobe suggested and removed the plug-in and then reinstalled it. Still does not work. When is Adobe going to fix it? I think it was not well researched before the release, and it definately has compatibility issues with Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks
Thanks,
Fred

Hi Mike M,
Thanks for the quick response. It worked OK after I did this, and I alerted other users in my MUG just in case they have a similar aged Macs. I hope that the fix for this will be automatic in the next update.

ITunes error - will not work after trying to update to 7.2, then to 7.3

I have tried to update to both 7.2 and to 7.3, but both updates have failed. Now I am stuck on 7.1 with an error, where my iTunes will not operate and I cannot uninstall because it comes up with the same error that I get when I try to install or uninstall.
Below are links to images of the errors:
Here is the error I have currently:

I would appreciate your assistance!

It sounds as though you need this article on trouble installing iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
You need the section at the end after "Important: A majority of customers..."
I think you need to do a full removal of iTunes and quciktime with clean up. But the important bit is to clean up the installer files with the MS Installer Clean Up Utility.
If cleanup doesn't seem to work, it is worth checking you have the right version of the Windows installer. If you find it in add remove programs, it should say "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)"

ITunes 6 will not work

I have tried it all
every support option every re-install everything but iTunes 6 will just not work on my computer
any suggestions would be great!

hi paul!
Additionally quicktime will not run when i attempt to open it.
i think your intuitions are right here. a broken QT will cause these "itunes has encountered an error ..." messages on launch.
let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 reinstall again.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) let's also switch off any antivirus and antispyware software prior to the install.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
does that install go through okay? will itunes launch properly after that?
keep us posted.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

ITunes update will not work on WIndows 7 PC

I rec. a message for an iTunes automatic update. There was an error so I clicked try again. Then I got a message to try a manual update except now iTunes will not open. I then uninstalled it and tried to re-install but I get a message that MSVCR80.dll is missing. Went to Microsoft and installed Microsoft Visual C++2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update which is suppose to reinstall the missing .dll file. Then I tried to reinstall iTunes but I keep getting the MSCVR.dll missing message.
This is one big runaround!
