ITUNES 7 Still won't open, even after trying solutions from other topics

I have tried the following things:
Uninstall/Reinstall
Quicktime as a stand alone
Virus protection off
Trying to start Itunes with a CD
System Reboot.
None of these things have worked. Can anyone help me.

Okay,
I HAVE FOUND A WORKAROUND
This is definitely not a solution, and Apple needs to address this problem immediately, but this will do it until they pull the proverbial lead out of their proverbial apple-holes...
Right-click on the iTunes shortcut, and select "Run As"
Run it as a different user, such as Administrator. If you do not have any other users, go to Control Panel > Users and make a new user.
If you run it as a different user, it seems to work fine...
Note: The iTunes Music Library is different per user, so you may need to import all of your music again

  • ITunes 11.1.1 won't open even after OS update.  Is there something ELSE I'm missing?

    After I updated my iTunes to 11.1.1, it wouldn't open.  I found something on these forums that had a link to an OS update to fix the problem.  Downloading and installing the OS update took nearly 24 hours, and iTunes still won't open.  Is there something else I'm missing? 

    first of all you want to back up all music files before you uninstall itunes. if mavericks wont let you uninstall itunes then right click on itunes in your applications folder, then get info, then go to the bottom and change all permissions to read and write. then close and try to uninstall and reinstall. if that doesnt work then this does :
    open apps, go to utilities, open terminal and cut and paste or type in these 3 commands, hitting return after each one.
    (first type) killall iTunes
    (then hit return)
    (then type) killall "iTunes Helper"
    (then hit return)
    (then type) sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
    (and hit return)
    after the last one you will be warned and asked to enter your password. do it.
    once completed you will see on your itunes icon with a ? shadow inside it.
    drag it off the dock and it goes poof.
    then download itunes from apple.
    if they wont let you download 11.1.5 itunes then use 10.7 Download it from Apple here.
    and then install and upgrade to 11.1.5 from there. this is the method i used when my itunes just bounced after installing mavericks. it takes only minutes and your itunes will be as right as rain. enjoy.

  • My Iphone still won't charge even after I had tried plugging it in and waiting then restarting it, it still showed up on the screen that it has to be charged, even when it was in the USB port. Help please

    My Iphone still won't charge even after I had tried plugging it in and waiting then restarting it, it still showed up on the screen that it has to be charged, even when it was in the USB port. I tried plugging it into the wall, a computer, I even switched out the USB cables but it still wouldn't charge. Help me please

    Hello Isabellap,
    It sounds like your iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged in.  I found an article with some steps that might help with this.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the sections titled "Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter" and "Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off" in the following article:

    Hi Guys:-
    If this SAME problems is effecting us all then suspect its not IPS problem as we all get problem at 995.6MB.
    I would think that there is some kind of software conflict.  If we all having this problem just think of how many users have the same but are not on this discussion board, bet you its 100s and 100s.
    Not possible for me to visit store now but will monitor your responce's. 
    Good luck guys, lets make um give us a fix:- I will call them tomorrow and see what they say:-  should point support to this Discussion page and they can answer us !
    Cheers and good luck also

  • I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere.  Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater.  My pictures are lost in the abyss.

    I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5.  I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

    Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

  • Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

    Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
    Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
    Rebooting phone/laptop/router
    Disabling ipv6
    Disabling all networks except the one curently on
    Re-installing iTunes
    Restoring iPhone
    No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • HT1925 I have tried everything here and iTunes still won't open.I now get the message, The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

    Recently I have not been able to open iTunes,I tried removing and reinstalling it but still won't open. I now get the message The file "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Any suggestions on how to get iTunes to work again ?
    Thanks

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • ITunes won't open, even after complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes/Qktime

    Hello
    This morning iTunes started refusing to open. When opened it bounces twice and then closes.
    Strange, because I didn;t just update. It worked fine after my last update and up until the present. I'm not sure but it could have started happening after I plugged in my iPod Touch 16gb 2.0. I did that sometime this morning.
    I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of both Itunes and Quicktime, and I also uninstalled Flip to Mac as I read here it could be related. Restarted my computer many times. Now, same problem, iTunes won't start.
    I live in noisy Barcelona and i'm going crazy without tunes...

    Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
    'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
    'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
    'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
    Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
    Restarted Machine
    Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
    Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
    Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
    Restarted iTunes
    Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
    Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

  • Itunes won't open, even after reintallation

    itunes just quit working.  I uninstalled, shut down the PC, then reinstalled.  It all looks good during installation...the wizard works fine, but when you try to launch you get nothing.  It won't open from the shortcut on the desktop, or the program list.  I don't seem to have any problems with any of the other programs on the PC...just itunes.  I've googled the problem and tried those suggestions.  Thanks for any help.

  • ITunes still won't open after latest updated to fix it.

    April 19 update was supposed to be a fix for apps that wouldn't open, but it didn't work. I still have to open iTunes with the terminal.

    According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
    First, back up all data.
    Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
    In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
    You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
    Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
    If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

  • ITunes STILL won't open on Windows...help please?

    So, I am pretty frustrated.
    I downloaded the lastest version of iTunes 7.2 a few days ago, and after installing it, I kept getting Symptom B as mentioned in the announcement above, "If iTunes 7.2 won't open or stay open on Windows..." posted by Roy B: my iTunes library gets updated after opening iTunes but only gets to about 80% until it becomes unresponsive and I have to close it. I tried the suggested solution one, but then as it's importing, it freezes and becomes unresponsive again. And I would try solution two, but I don't know how to revert back to the last version I was using if it's been replaced by the faulty one...Please help, I'd greatly appreciate. Thanks!

    Which version of Windows do you have? I have a similar problem ... "iTunes has stopped working". I have some diagnostic info in my windows logs if any one could use them?

  • I downloaded Itunes 7.0.1 and itunes still won't open

    Neither iTunes 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 will open for me. Basically, I install everything without any errors, go to run the program, get the windows thinking hourglass for about 3 seconds and then nothing.
    I can get 6.0.5 to still work but I can't access the music store and I haven't been able to since a week before they introduced 7.0.0. I am so frustrated with Apple and iTunes right now...

    I actualy was able to fix it. Here is a copy of the post I put up about fixing it:
    Ok, like many of you, I was also getting iTunes to hang when plugging in my shuffle, and it would just sit with the spinning beach ball. Even after an hour, it was still frozen. Well, I just fixed mine.
    I went to check the Library File to see if it was too large or something, and I found my Music folder wouldn't open, and when it did it showed 0 items, yet iTunes was still playing songs. So I ran TechTool Deluxe on it (it came with your APP if you bought one). Anyway, it found Volume errors on the music drive. So I backed up the music folder to another drive, and let TechTool repair the errors. When it was done, I ran it again, no errors. I then opened iTunes, plugged in my shuffle, and it instantly grabbed new songs via Autofill and sync'd. So, I think the iTunes installer is causing errors to the volume, which is causing the hang ups. TechTool was able to fix the errors, and now iTunes runs fine. Hopefully that will help a few of you get yours working again.
    For the record, I store my music on my secondary internal drive, and keep the library in my user folder on the boot drive. After running the fix, everything appears to be just fine, and from what I can tell I lost no data.

  • Previously running CS4 won't open, even after script clean and reinstall

    I can't get in!....
    Seems like a license issue.
    After trying all (7) of the fixes in kb405970 recommended by Adobe tech support, I was unable to get access to my previously working CS4 Production Suite products. I removed the entire program and ran CS4 Clean Script for Macintosh, then reinstalled Production Suite.
    Now, when I try to get into any of the products, i get a registration screen that accepts my VALID and REGISTERED (from the Adobe Registration site) CS4 Prod Suite serial number, and NOTHING happens. No programs open.I can't get any response from Adobe tech support for the last 10 days. Case has been open since October 18. I'm just diving into asking for help in a forum.
    HELP! Please

    I had this problem yesterday, actually. You can solve it, but you will lose all firefox data you didn't back up. Then again, because you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I assume this isn't an issue.
    Assuming you've installed windows on the C drive:
    Go to C://Users/yourname/AppData
    If you cant find it, go to your display settings (I hope I translated this correct; I use the Dutch version of Windows) and make sure that hidden files and filders are not being... well, hidden. Shocking plottwist, I know.
    If all goes well, you should now see three folders named Local, Localrow and Roaming.
    Now go to Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox and delete everything thats in there. Now you have an empty FireFox folder, which will force Firefox to start up as if it was never installed before.
    Done! :)
    P.S. Now that you have a fresh new install, save yourself a lot of future pain and install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync Xmarks] for your bookmarks and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager LastPass] for your passwords. These add-ons will keep your data safely on their servers, where it is yours to backup and download anywhere in the world.
    Also, if you have about three milion add-ons and personas/themes and you don't want to hunt hem down again everytime you reïnstall Windows or buy a new system, get [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe FEBE] to save a copy of them for you. And if you really want to backup like a pro, install [https://www.dropbox.com/ DropBox] (not an addon) and tell FEBE to store its files there, so you can still retrieve them if your house happens to burn down.
    Xmarks, LastPass and FEBE: the holy trinity of Firefox backups :P
