ITunes 6 won't start (dosen't have to do with norton)

Keep in mind that my iTunes has been working just fine, but ever since I downloaded 6 I've been getting errors left and right. So, heres what happens. I install iTunes 6, and it installs fine. When I click the icon, I get the following error (copy and paste URL) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/N8NESS/error.jpg
So anyway after re-installing and re-booting several times to no avail, I figure "okay, well, since it started not working ever since I downloaded 6, I'll just re-install my old iTunes", right? WRONG! I install the old version (the most up to date version BEFORE 6), and it comes up with some crap about how Quicktime wasen't installed right. I even installed an even OLDER version, and it came up with another quicktime error. I would show a screen shot of that too,

hi Nate!
the first thing we check for with the "itunes has encountered an error ..." is a broken quicktime. First see:

love, b

Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigge

Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigger issue or does a battery need to be in the compartment to boot up? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Working battery needs to be in for the computer to function.

I was updated to Firefox 36 automatically, however, it won't start. I have tried firefox safe mode, reinstalling, uninstalling avg antivirus, eks.

Computer rebooted overnight to install updates. Everything else was fine, but now Firefox, which was updated to version 36, will not launch. Basically, I double click on it, I get a little disk access, and then nothing. I have tried starting in firefox safe mode. Same thing happens. I have uninstalled by deleting entire Mozilla Firefox from program files and reinstalling. Still won't start. I have uninstalled an old version of AVG. Still won't start. I have Microsoft Security Essentials running, and have updated it. Still won't start. I need some new ideas.

I just want to confirm one step that you took. When you say you deleted the Firefox content from program files, this may not have taken all of the Firefox related components off of your computer.
The steps you should follow to remove a potentially damaged install of firefox are:
Open your start menu, select 'program files'. In program files, select 'Programs and Features', this should open your 'Uninstall or change a program' window. In this window locate your 'Mozilla Firefox' program. Select the program with a left click then select 'Uninstall', which should appear once the program is highlighted.
This process will remove changes to the registry that may be causing issues. After fully uninstalling firefox from your programs, perform a fresh install of the latest version of the browser.
If you have already performed this process with no success then there may be other issues related to your recent windows updates, this is not uncommon. If you are having issues after a fresh install of Firefox, after using the instructions above, please check to see if your 'Internet Explorer' browser is having the same issues, if so then you may have more serious problems that will require further action.

What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
- close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

My iMac won't start. I have to press T and mount it to an old G4.

My iMac won't start. I have to press T and mount it to an old G4 then eject then boot but slow and lots of beech balls. First aid says it has a 'Invalid key length' in 1 volume and can't be repaired. Will an upgrade to Mountain lion from Snow Leopard help or Disk Warrior as my files won't install.

Thanks PATRICKMELE for your response, however I'm not sure if my Time Machine backup is trustworthy. I had a problem with that about 2 weeks ago and I took to an Apple Genius who ended up wiping my Time Machine backups. The new backup took 9 days and now looking at Time Machine Preferences it shows 1.59 GB of 3TB available; Oldest backup: None; Latest backup: None?
I'm taking your advice and calling Apple Support as soon as possible. Thanks for your help

I'm not sure if they could tell you but you could try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption. You will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

New itunes 5 won't start after download

I downloaded iutnes 5 and now when I click on the desktop icon or the one in the start menu itunes won't start! I also downloaded Norton Internet Security recently so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Can someone please offer a suggestion as to what I can do to start my itunes. I've wasted so many hours already trying to get it to work....Thanks

Yes, it could be you have "zombie" itunes in your tasks.
But I think it is more likely that some firewall/security software like "norton" is stopping net-enabled software from running. You could look at the task explorer to see if itunes is launching. I prefer the excellent, and free, process explorer from sysinternals.com. For one it is better at stopping zombie processes than task manager.

So if you don't see any "itunes" or "ipod" processes running then you need to see about enabling them in your "Norton Internet Security"

Recurring iTunes problem; won't start/errors

There is a recurring problem with iTunes version 7.7. It has also occurred on versions from 7.4 through 7.6. Upgrading to iTunes 7.7 results in a no-start for iTunes. No errors or messages. It shows up in processes. If all Apple software is removed and registries edited, then re-install results in iTunes not starting with error like "App failed to start because SCARDDLG.dll cound not be found". This is Smart Card service (which I dont' use but iTunes wants). If Smart Card services are installed/started, iTunes will still not start (but no fatal error msg. or any messages at all).
I have removed/reinstalled several times. I have been through the MS methods for crypto services, edg.log rename, etc. It has still not helped. At this point I may have to resort to the same method when iTunes 7.4 gave this same problem. Get rid of all your APple software and re-install 7.3 from one of the retro software sites, i.e. oldapps.com. It also means you can forget about using your iPhone and many other newer Apple devices.
I would have thought that since this problem has been around for at least 4 versions and many users won't buy Apple products like iPhones since they can't use them on systems that won't run Apple software, that maybe this would be motivation for Apple to fix the problem and/or publish a solution. BTW; I am running Trend Micro and yes, ports and web addresses are configured for proper access.

There is a solution here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1661935

Itunes just won't start after the upgrade

I've upgraded my itunes, and done all the double checks I've found on this site. My itunes just will not start after the upgrade. It's frustrating to say the least because I can't even access my libary or edit my ipod. I've tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling.. please help! I wanted to put my audio books on my ipod for a roadtrip tomorrow!

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218
I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

Itunes installer won't start

Itunes 64bit installer wont start on my Windows vista/7 64 bit computers.
You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
Anyone else having problems?

You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
This one can be caused by the installer getting damaged on the download.
What browser are you using for the download? Does it make any difference in the performance of the installer if you user Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

My MacBook won't start up. Get folder icon with ? In it. Ideas.... Thanks

My MacBook won't start up. I get a folder icon with a "?" in it. Any ideas? Thanks.

The MacBook cannot find a startup disk...could be a corrupted hard drive or failed hard drive. If you have the install disk for your Mac OS X, you show 10.5.8, try booting holding the C key so you startup on the installation disk. If that works, use disk utility to see if you can do a repair of the internal hard drive and fix system files that are bad, or even do a reinstall so you cleanup bad files.
If that does not work, then a trip to the Apple store genius bar to have the hard drive checked out and possibly replaced.

Macbook won't start - apple icon turns to circle with diagonal line/slash

My Macbook won't start. When I turn on the power, the apple icon appears but then after a while it changes to a circle with a diagonal line/slash, then it just shows a gray screen.
The last time I used the computer I did several software updates. Could this be causing the problem? Any suggestions for getting my computer operating again?
Thanks for any help/advice.

Yup, i encountered the same experience after a strange failed USB-loading, and a sudden shutdown of my macbook.
Luckily i manage to "safe-boot" (pressing "Shift" key once starting up the mac) my macbook so that i can save the necessary files before will lose them all.
After that i popped-in my SL Installation DVD, and did the reinstallation process. Fortunately, everything works as charm and everything is back to normal after Spotlight has done it's hard work.
Happy Apple user once again.

IPod Touch 4G shows in iTunes but won't start a session with PC

So.. I do get an error message saying that a session could not be started with the iPod, or as it says in Swedish "iTunes kunde inte säkerhetskopiera iPod-enheten "namn's iPod" eftersom en session inte kunde startas med iPod".
The iPod does show up in iTunes and I can view all my music, apps and stuff, but when I try to sync it I just get the error message.
Why is that?! I haven't dared to do any drastic things such as rebooting my PC or iPod since I know I'll probably loose everything on both, but I did restart everything, erase the earlier safetycopy of the iPod and such.
I have tried to google an solution but have only found similar questions with no answer.
Help me out, please! The iPod is only 2,5 months old, this can't be the end!

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.
