ITunes 7.3 Not Opening

Since I have updated iTunes, I am no longer able to open the program.
It bounces in the dock, the triangle shows, and then disappears. Without window appearing.
I've downloaded it via Software Update, and the iTunes website, without success.
I've also repaired permissions, and checked console to see what was wrong.
Any Help?

Once you have added iTunes 7.3 to your Master Exclude list and have opened and closed it once, you can remove it from the list and reopen the program. It will now be skinned, once again.

  • Itunes simply will not open! please tell me why...i need my music!

    hello (hopefully) helpful peeps,
    ok firstly, i know virtually nothing about computers...and mine is driving me nuts!!
    i use an old powerbook (think it's from 2000). i have been having several problems with it over the past year, but the most annoying one is that itunes simply will not open. i have re-installed it several times but when i click on it, it just bounces twice and then...nothing. it says it is there in my applications folder- version 8.0.2, taking up 139.3 MB of my limited space (only 5.59 GB hard drive!) and it is completely useless to me! when i installed this latest version i checked the compatibility and it all seemed fine, so it can't be to do with that.
    please can anyone help? ...i just want to listen to my music! :'(
    ps. use BASIC computer talk please! think 'computers for dummies', none of this fancy lingo. ta!

    LOL! good analogy...and i love mini coopers!
    i am just as surprised as you that it is still hanging on despite it's age and size...tho it is driving me nuts and most of the time i want to take a sledge hammer to it!
    my brother uses the exact same one, only i think he put a larger internal drive in his and he doesn't seem to have any problems (in fact this one used to be his til it broke one day, so he got another one, but managed to fix this one and gave it to me! it was second hand to begin with) i have had nothing but problems! but i just don't understand why itunes etc worked fine before when i haven't really used any more space, if anything i now use less cos i deleted practically everything!
    so is it possible to get a larger internal drive (considering how old it is) or do you think it's not worth it? i have absolutely no idea how i would go about that, i suppose i would have to pay someone to fit it? i wouldn't dare open it up myself!
    if they weren't so hideously expensive, i would just buy a lovely shiny new macbook since macs are def my preferred choice...tho i don't know why i am still loyal after all the grief it has given me!
    cheers for being so helpful and sorry to ask all these questions but you seem to know your stuff...i'm clueless

  • Itunes Library will not open!!!!!    itunes Library will not open!!!!!

    Hello,
    This is very frustrating that hundreds of people view these questions and only a few people answer. The issue here is that my itunes Library will not open. I'd sure like to know what is causing this and if it's gone forever.
    WinXP. Pro.
    I have many Mp3 music files under the same playlist names as in my ipod, i:e: Country,Jazz,Blues,Classic Rock, Alternative,vocal,light sounds,etc. When I drag new mp3 music files into my ipod library,then sync to my ipod, Itunes makes a backup of itune music files in their folder..I think. Anyway, those mp3 muic files are still on the Hard drive,but I can not open up my itunes Library. is it Gone????
    Sooooooooooooooo...I was slap-happy in upgrading my itunes software for my 80GB fith gen ipod for the kick of it. I downloaded the new updates.then tried to open my itunes library and it wouldn't open...I hooked up my Ipod thinking that may help open up the Library,but nothing.
    I tried the system restore,nothing. I uninstalled itunes,then reinstalled the itunes/quicktime download from apple. I clicked on the itunes icon on the desktop a few times and then a few times more,nothing. I guess I'm missing the itunes.ink file to open this up. regardless, I went to the Windows/Start/programs/itunes...nothing again. Windows Explorer/C:/ program files/itunes...nothing.
    I was afraid when I uninstalled the itunes software from before,it would erase the itunes Library,but the music is still on my hard drive,I just can't open the itunes Library. At this point,I should buy an external hard drive and transfer all my Mp3 files and the itunes music files/podcasts/photos,wipe the hard drive,reinstall the O.S. and start all over again.
    I'm guessing I am out of options with this itune Libray. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

    Still unanswered. I'm still trying to install itunes so I could use the library. I am removing Mp3 files from my hard drive to free up space,so if I ever do get the itunes setup,I'll have to remove the SYNC and do the manual so I ONLY transfer Podcasts into the ipod and not lose them becuase of the unchecked boxes.
    Ok, I uninstalled EVERYTHING that has to do with Itunes/ipod from the computer..Add/remove programs, serch all files/folders,Windows Explorer,Start>All programs,the Itune reference. Turned off all my Firewall,spyware,and anti-virus,,downloaded the new 7.5 version Itunes/ipod...saved to desktop,installed the new software...then NADA! NOTHING! I can click on the shortcut desktop icon, and all the other ways to click the software open, but nothing. peole on other sites reccomend Tag and rename and use the Winamp media Library,because of all the lack of personal customer support APPLE lacks. I guess I was a Big FOOL to spend my hard earned $350.00 for this ipod.

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • 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

  • HT3204 My itunes store will not open. I get a blank page. When diagnostics ran it said secure link to itunes failed. What do I do?

    Itunes store will not open. I get a blank page. When I ran diagnostics error message said secure link to itunes failed. I have internet access, have turned off my security, and I can go to explorer and get on itunes.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • ITunes window would not open after upgrade

    Just upgraded to OS 10.4.7, and iTunes 6.0.5. All my software is fully up to date with all the latest. After the upgrade when launching iTunes I have two problems:
    1. Intially the program launched. Now iTunes window does not open. Only the Equalizer window opens. A very big problem!!
    2. During the first launch after the upgrade, when I still had my window, it took away a couple of free songs credit I still had with Apple. I don't have those credits any longer, or at least it didn't show it and wanted me to pay for downloads.
    Should have left the program alone and not update I guess.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Only the Equalizer window opens
    That means the app. is active.
    Press Command-1 (Window menu) to reveal the iTunes window.
    Sorry, no clue about the credits.
    Hope this helps.

    A long shot, but make sure Safari is set to accept cookies either "Always" or "only from sites I visit". If you have cookies turned off completely, that may cause a problem.

  • My itune page does not open and I have done all the cheks like time zone exc. I am husing windows xp

    My itune page do not open, i have done all the checks on my system like time zone exc. it does not even shows a error nr.

    Sounds like it could be your computer and not Apple. Sounds like some registry issues and/or other underlying problems.
    What are your computer specs? Year? Manufacturer? RAM? Processor (type & speed, # of cores), OS (32 bit? 64 bit? Professional? Standard?)
