Itunes 7 wont open when upgraded

ive upgraded to the new itunes7 but when the installation is complete and i try to open itunes it simply wont open. no error message is displayed, the software simply wont open. i had no problems whatsoever with the previous itunes software and with previous upgrades. what do i do??

replying to Toamiru
I am also having the same problem. Yes, I have Norton 2005, but there are no error messages and my Quicktime works perfectly. I had a problem similar to this the last time I updated, but I don't exactly remember how I fixed it. And what's even more annoying is that it shows up as a process, but I can't seem to end it, and it never actually opens.
yep, those are classic symptoms of the nastier versions of NIS-2005-related itunes error-message-free launch failures. we've been getting that since the itunes 4.8 days with NIS 2005. (it seems to be the luck of the draw as to whether or not folks get it on any given itunes version install or upgrade.)
we'd better try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:

Itunes wont open following upgrade to version 10.6. Restore Windows error

iTunes just wont open following upgrade. How can I remove iTunes off my iMac and load software again. I can't remove from Finder or Preference it says iTunes must be installed on the machine? Help, I cant get to my music !!!!

No, it's telling you to upgrade iTunes on your COMPUTER. Not on your phone. Download and install the latest version for http://www.apple.com/itunes.
If you have a Mac, you must be running at least OS X 10.6.8.

Itune wont open when iphone connected.

When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

HELP! ITunes wont open after Upgrade.

I upgraded the new version of ITunes our of stupidity and it ruined my life. Itunes now wont open. I have tried removing it and re-downloading. I have restarted it and tried everything possible that the support screens say. PLEASE HELP!

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Itunes wont open when i plug my ipod in

My ipod is disabled and it says connect through itunes, and i've put it in recovery mode and it has the itunes thing up when the recovery mode has worked, but the itunes thing wont pop up on the screen! Please help!

By 'wont pop up' do you mean that iTunes on your computer doesn't automatically open when you connect it to to ? If you do then if you open iTunes yourself, does it then recognise that a device in recovery mode it connected to your computer ? If not then do you have the current version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

Itunes wont open after upgrading

I upgraded to the newest version of itunes and now when i try to open it it pops up and says:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvience
After that it asks if you want to see what the error report contains and when i click that it says:
The fowoling files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\Rich\LOCALS~1\Temp\38de_appcompat.txt
Can anyone help?
I am running Windows XP SP2 if that helps

you run no antivirus at all?
thats a dangerous game of russian roullette. you probably have malware, spyware, adware blocking you from opening iTunes. This is not uncommon and there is a variant of malware attacking Windows computers that is making this errorless launch of iTunes.
The number one rule of owning a Windows PC that accesses the internet is to have programs that will scan and remove malware, viruses, and spyware. You MUST run these scans AT least twice a week.
Go download these free programs and clean your PC, then your iTunes should open.
1. EWIDO-a free malware scanner and remover tool
2. LavaSoft's AdAware-will scan and remove syware, adware
3. AVG Free-will scan and remove viruses
4. SpyBot S&D-will also remove spyware
IF your computer is heavily infested, as I suspect yours is, your computer will take HOURS to do this, but its worth it. Also, you may want to go to TrendMicro's website and use their HouseCall scanner. It will scan and remove stuff of your PC via the internet.
You may have to boot into SafeMode and use these programs.
Good Luck and report back once your scans have completed.
PS. It is important to run more than one AntiSpyWare program because each program will catch what another program misses. Spyware will slow your system down tremendously. I suggest a spyware scan several times a week

ITunes wont open after upgrade install

Installed the upgrade for iTunes and now it wont open at all. Clicked on the icon, clicked long on the icon and chose open, and lastly tried to open from applications but I get nothing. Not even an error message. Just a blink of the screen. Please help! I have a iMac version 10.6.8

Don't touch your iTunes Music folder. All your iTunes data is stored there completely separate from your iTunes application. You can delete or reinstall your iTunes Application without affecting your data. However, you should be able to use iTunes 9.
iTunes 9 requires OS X 10.4.11 or later and a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor.
It also needs QuickTime 7.6 or later. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Note that there are separate versions for Leopard and Tiger. Pick the right one.

Itunes wont open when connected to iphone. why?

I also have a new MB Pro running OS X 10.9.5 and a new iPhone 6. My iPhone connects to iTunes, but hangs at step 6 in the sync process -- copying apps to the iPhone. I let it run all night last night and it never got beyond the second app. This morning I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and have the same problem. Now I am stuck at the third app.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

ITunes wont open after upgrade to iTunes 9

I upgraded to iTunes 9 unaware that apparently it doesn't work with 10.4.11 and now itunes won't even open, instead I get an "requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later" message and when I click the OK button iTunes still doesn't open. I can't upgrade to QT 7.5.5, as far as I know it is for intel Macs only and apparently so is iTunes 9. I can uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall itunes 8.2, but since I can't open iTunes and backup the music to a disc, I'm not sure if or how I would replace the music in the reinstalled iTunes, will the music folder be effected and if it is, can I simply copy the music folder to the desktop and then drag and drop it into the iTunes application folder after the reinstall? If not, what would be the best procedure?
