ITunes 7 doesn't open after install

I'm a music major, and I had heard great things about the new iTunes, but I installed it successfully, and I cannot open it whatsoever. It's kind of killing me. I NEED to have my music!!! Can someone please help me? What's up with this?

I upgraded to itunes 7 as well and the icon has appeared on the desktop but I cannot open it. When ever I click it nothing happens...any tips???
replying to ailbhe
some preliminary questions.
a few questions before proceeding.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

  • HT201263 iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone

    After trying to update to ios 7.0.6, iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone and doesn't show the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.", which it should. What do I do now?

    Hi vld17,

  • Itunes doesn't open after monolingual use, any further ideas?

    I installed Monolanguage and now iTunes doesn's open any more.
    tried everything mentioned here and in other forums.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
    I uninstalled Monolanguage
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Flip4Mac
    I deleted te TLSC file
    I repaired the rights of access
    I rmoved Flip4Mac and Quicktimeplayer
    I restarted the system serveral times
    Nothing helps.
    Any more ideas?
    How can I delete and reinstall iTunes without loosing all my data and backups etc.?

    "Monolanguage" as you say several times, or "Monolingual" as in your topic?
    Flip4Mac has nothing to do with iTunes.
    You have to be careful using Monolingual It can remove components other applications expect to be there.  I don't know how it affects iTunes, though it could conceivably be looking for language support you no longer have.
    If you're getting so desperate for hard drive space that you're using Monolingual then you may want to think about moving other files off, or buying a bigger hard drive.
    You may want to consider re-installing your operating system  or restoring your computer from backup if you really think this was caused by using Monolingual.

    b noir - i have been following your advice and i want to thank you for taking your time to try and solve these problems for ipod users.
    i have been following this message board each day for the past week - ever since my iTunes stopped working. i have not yet seen anyone who is receiving the same error message as myself.
    like most others, i downloaded the recent update for iTunes - since then, iTunes will not open. i have tried most of the other proposed solutions to no avail, such as downloading a stand-alone version of quicktime, making sure my msconfig start-up has the correct check marks, etc.
    the iTunes set-up completes with no problem - i have tried installing by saving the file to my hard drive and then running and also by running the program straight from the download window. same results.
    once i go to open iTunes, i receive the following error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Then I click "Send Error Report" just hoping I will receive a required update to make this work.
    i was wondering if you could attempt to help me resolve this issue? i have my music saved to my external hard drive, so i am in no danger of losing my music. however, i need to open iTunes to update my iPod.
    thanks in advance for your help.

  • ITunes won't open after install

    after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
    I have tried all the fixes suggested by other threads; installing the standalone quicktime, running msconfig, searching for malware, setting up norton to allow itunes and disabling it during install. I followed the instructions for the complete uninstall and tried to reinstall, didn't work. I then did another complete uninstall and installed an older version of iTunes 6 from the cd i got with my iPod, still doesn't work!!
    i am at a loss with this, hopefully the next release will fix this issue.
    any response would be greatly appreciated

    hi Shaun!

    hmmm. okay, Norton is still our prime suspect here. that "running itunes.exe process that will not die" symptom is associated with the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 launch suppression problems. (people who get that also often see things like looooooong sloooooow shutdown times on the PCs and odd end program dialog boxes.)
    let's try throwing the trusty Lorraine M technique at the beast. (it usually fixes the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 problems.)

    After installing IOS7 on my Iphone4S iTunes won't open.  When you click the app it starts to open and then just closes.  I have shut the phone off and checked the settings but nothing seems to be working.  Help?

    That behavior indicates that the app is crashing.
    I recommend trying a restore.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes (current version: 11.1) and click the Restore button.
    Also consider any possible apps you might have that are suspect - possibly corrupt.  Remove any such apps before attempting the restore.

  • Itunes doesn't open after 10.4.7 upgrade

    I just did the 10.4.7 upgrade after receiving a message from Apple that the upgrade was avalable and recomended for all users. I quit all applications excpet the finder and did the install... All went well and I restarted my Power Book G4 1.6Ghz. I clicked on the Itunes icon to open it, it bounced up and down about 75 time and the stopped bouncing but the program didn't open...??? I tried clicking on the Itunes icon again but nothing happens.
    If anyone has any ideas what could be the problem or how I can reinstall the Itunes upgrade please let me know.. Thanks in advance, Dave

  • ITunes doesn't open after the first time

    Hi, my iTunes after the last upgrading doesn't open. Really it open the first time after starting pc then , when i shut down it seems frozen. Could you help me? Do you ave a solution?

    Try following steps and test 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.

  • Itunes doesn't open after 10.4.7 upgrade "Clarification"

    Just to clarify my last post... Actually the problem of Itunes just bouncing up and down but not openning happened after installing the Itunes 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 as well as the Mac OS 10.4.6 to 10.4.7... I recieved 4 programs to be updated from Software up-date, Mac OS 10.4.7, Itunes 7.1.2 and two other programs, I don't remember what they were... Is there a way I can reinstall just the Itunes up-grade? Everything else seems to be working fine...
    Thanks, Dave

    Itunes 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 as well as the Mac OS 10.4.6 to 10.4.7...
    You probably mean QuickTime 7.1.2.
    Does QuickTime open correctly?
    You might try running the Combo-updater. It sometimes fixes these problems.
    You can download it here.
    After that, run the iTunes updater again. You might need to remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' and the 'iTunesX 6.0.4.pkg' files from ./Library/Receipts if the Installer does not want to re-install iTunes.
    If you're running Protools, read this article.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITune does not open after installing IE7

    I have recently installed Internet Explorer 7 on my Window XP (with service pack 2). This causes me problem in opening iTune right now. After removing IE7, then restart the computer and reinstall iTune, I still cannot open iTune.
    Does anyone aware of this problem? Any suggestion as in how I can iTune running again. I have all songs organized in iTune and I have just used for long time. I want it to run again.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks

    Hi, Denise.
    There are no particular problems iTunes has running with IE7 - no problems I have or I have heard of - so let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes fails to launch situations:
    Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    If there's not an error mesage, let's check your QuickTime (its well-being is a prerequisite to a functioning iTunes).
    Go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
    Does it start?
    If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    Do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?
