ITunes configures then wants to restart; again & again itunes doesn't open
If I want to open iTunes my system is telling me to wait untill windows has configured itunes, then its asking mo to restart, so that the changed configurations can work. so I've restarted, but now iTunes doesn't open. It just configures and wants to restart again. Can anyone help me with that problem??
I am experiencing the same problem with iTunes 8 too.
Here's what I know so far about this problem:
1. It is not fixed by uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes.
2. It is not fixed by replacing the current iTunes icon I use with a new one from the original program in my Start Menu.
3. It has something to do with the lack of administrative powers on my computer account that prevents iTunes from changing settings/reconfiguring/gathering infromation. (The iTunes on the Administrator's account works just fine.)
4. It probably has something to do with the recent change from DRM-protected to DRM-free iTunes music. That's my theory. However, it could just be that iTunes had a structural or graphical update and needs to reconfigure in order to complete the redesign. Or something to that extent.
Regardless, iTunes is reconfiguring in such a way that strictly regulated computers won't allow. Something needs to be done so that iTunes can work around this.
I hope someone can help with this problem.
Much thanks,
Lunar Guy

My iTunes doesn't open at all. Shows me an error after upgrading to Lion.
After installing OS X Lion I tried to open my iTunes and an error popped out. It said that library could not be loaded.
I waited for an iTunes 10.5 upgrade and installed it. But it still won't work!!
Help me please.

After the restore I had to go to the "All Programs" list and click on Quicktime and iTunes individually to allow them to re-configure, then had to restart the computer again. After that all's well. My lbrary was intact.
I tried everything to get the newest version to work, including completely uninstalling my current versions of QT and iTunes, then downloading the latest directly from the Apple website, but, after 3 attempts, nothing worked. Guess I'll have to wait for the next update and try again.
By the way, your library is not actually stored in iTunes--it is stored in your Music folder, so you should not lose anything by uninstalling iTunes if you need to. -
Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync
itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync
I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

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.

My itunes doesn't open from the dock... when I get it open by spotlight it froze when I was trying to burn a CD.
Hi stork38,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like the application is having an issue burning the CD.
I would suggest you Force Quit iTunes, eject the disc and then open iTunes again.
Then try burning again with a different CD.

Itunes doesn't open when i plug in my iphone
iTunes doesn't open when i plug in my iPhone
You may have an incomplete iTunes installation. Uninstall your iTunes and Re-install again.
If this still fails, try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch -
ITunes doesn't open when I connect my iPhone
i upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Since then every time I connect my iPhone, iTunes doesn't open automatically. And the phone restarts every time I connect to computer. Please help.
One other thing to check. When you plug in your iPhone, open iTunes to sync it, and on the Summary Page for the iPhone, look near the bottom of it for the Options section. Put a check in the box that says: Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected. That should automatically open iTunes and start the syncing every time you connect it to the computer. Hope this does it for you.

ITunes doesn't open, lost song list
My iTunes doesn't open for some reason, so I downloaded a new iTunes which works, but doesn't have anything showing on it. My music is on an external HD. How do I get the songs to appear on the iTunes again?
many thanks for anyone that knows!gta129,
Do you have iTunesHelper set to start up when you login? To check if it's in the list of login items:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click the Accounts pane.
3. Select your user.
4. Click the Login Items tab.
5. See if iTunes Helper is listed here.
Hope this helps,

My iTunes doesn't open any more all of a sudden, though Task Manager has listed it in "Processes". Quicktime and everything else works, though.
I've tried de-installing and re-installing serveral times.. Even older Versions (iTunes 10.5) won't work.
Can you tell me what to do?
Fyi: I'm using Windows 7 and iTunes version 10.7.
