ITunes crashes upon opening after telling me the volume is turned all the way down....

After updating to iTunes 11.1.3, everything was fine initially. Suddenly though, as of yesterday, my iTunes decided that it was going to turn off it's own program-controlled volume. It was kind enough to alert me to this, and I closed the warning about it and set about raising the volume, wondering why I had turned it down in the first place. At this point though, iTunes had stopped responding at all. So, I forced it to quit, reopened it, and once again it alerted me to the fact that the volume was turned all the way off. Okay, I said, told it not to warn me again, closed the warning and then there was a new alert about the fact that my previous forced closure of iTunes resulted in extra windows being closed that it was now asking me if I wanted to reopen. I can't even click on the "Don't Reopen" button, as the program itself once again stops responding after I acknowledge the first warning about the lack of volume. Anytime I open iTunes it does this (repeated without fail, several dozen times now...). Once iTunes is open, none of the options in the Help or Edit or File or any of those buttons in the taskbar are actually clickable, since I can't do anything before acknowledging the alert about the volume, after which it inevitably stops responding. Tried restarting the Mac to no avail. Tried downloading and installing a fresh iTunes hoping it might repair the damaged files, to no avail. I can't actually remove the current iTunes from the computer since apparently it is 'essential to OS X'. Not really sure how to go about fixing this issue.....could anybody shed some light on this?
Thanks!

In that case I would reinstall your itunes. It will just install over the top of the existing program. As a precaution it is usually wise to make a copy(Backup) of your itunes folder when installing itunes. It should not affect anything but you never know
You can find the install package for itunes 11 here

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared. Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post. It's all to do with the wireless sync.
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe' then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers.
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

I just sync'd my iPod Nano for the first time. All the audiobooks appear to have been loaded but I cannot hear anything during playback. The volume is turned all the way up. My headphones work when plugged into a different unit. What's next?

I just sync'd my brand new ipod Nano with my laptop PC running Windows 7, and loaded all my audiobooks. They show up on the Nano's screen, but when I select one I hear nothing. The earphones work fine when connected to another unit. What's next?

I'm ok with having to resync everything once she gets home but it concerned me when you said it would, again, wipe everything once I plugged it in here. I don't care about having to reload music, contacts, & apps from here, but I would rather not lose all the pictures that she took while she was gone. If we did decide to go the whole start-over-from-scratch route on her end while she is there, could the loss of pictures be adverted if she created a backup of her phone, copied the backup to a USB drive, & brought the backup file home with her so I could restore it from here? When I plug my phone into another computer, I can open it through My Computer & copy the pictures; could I do that when she gets home before I allow iTunes to open & wipe everything again?
I guess the other option would be to just have her just copy all of the pictures onto a USB drive before she comes home, I'm just curious if it's possible to restore everything if she just brings the backup file home.
Thanks again for taking the time to helping me.

IPad air keyboard makes sound when volume is turned all the way down

My iPad air's keyboard makes noise, even when the volume is turned all the way down. Is this normal? If so how can I turn off the keyboard typing noise without disabling entirely.

Aloha Raptorcheese, Good news, if you have you have change with buttons turned on you can control the keyboard volume with the normal volume control. No need to go back to settings all the time.

Safari, Mail and Software Update crash upon open after S/U 2006-004

After installing the latest Security Update, Mail, Safari, and Software all crash upon open. nother strange this is that when I do a FIND on Safari, it seems to be in the Root "/" directory. The only way that we can get onto the inter is by using IE. I have also tried to create another user to see if that helps, but Safari just shows up as a "?" in the dock. When I goto applications, and open it there, it still crashes under the new user. Itunes will successfully go to the Music Store.

I reloaded the Mac OS on the mac that was having the problem.

Why is the color wheel turning all the time

Just recently on the Mac the color wheel stops and turns all the time and slows down my computer. What can I do to fix this problem?

The color wheel (beachball to some)l means the computer is thinking. Upgrading to Snow Leopard or Lion will not cure this and might well make this worse. Checking you have adequate RAM and free hard drive space (at least 15GB) are the most immediate concerns. There can be many issues that can cause this and they need to be investigated systmatically.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

ITunes crashes on opening after update

After an iTunes update today it crashes as soon as I open it. It seems like the same problem as discussed a few topics down, but Quicktime is working fine and I have no extra QuickTime files in the \Windows\system32\ directory.
I've tried all the removing and reinstalling fixes suggested by Apple but the same thing still happens.
Error signature:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.0.3.15 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000000dd
I'm running iTunes on XP in VirtualBox inside Ubuntu 9.10. I only have this set up to use iTunes and it has been working perfectly up until the update today.
I had my iPod Touch plugged in while iTunes was updating, it also tried to update and that crashed and locked my iPod. Now I've got no iTunes or iPod

I haven't reinstalled the newest iTunes, but I checked all QuickTime player functionality before I removed it yesterday and all worked fine.
Thanks, liza. That rules out a whole cluster of possible issues.
When you get 9.0.3.15 reinstalled, the next thing we'll check on is whether it's a systemwide issue or if it's associated with a specific user account. (This isn't a cure in itself, but it will help us narrow in closer on possible causes.)
Head into your User accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights.
Now log out of your usual user account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.) Try launching iTunes 9.0.3.15 in there. (If it does launch, the iTunes Setup assistant will run. Don't add files to iTunes, just let her eventually launch to an empty library. Your content is safely tucked away in the usual user account.)
Do you get a proper launch in the other account, or do you also get the launch error?

ITunes crash upon opening

Started appearing several days when the program would freeze, not doing anything in it, and need to be reopened. 3 days ago it just stopped. Any attempt to open either manually or by logging in ipod touch (4gen) is now meet with windows alert "This program has stopped working - searching for a fix", it fails and tells me to go to apple. Repaired and uninstall/reinstalled countless times and it keeps crashing instantly upon opening.

ITunes crashes upon opening

Before giving me the obvious suggestions, I have done all the basic steps. Uninstall (fully) and reinstall, downgrade (it crashed too), deleting .itl file, creating new library, etc...
I only got it working for like 2 seconds when I removed the itl and xml file away and then reimporting the xml, but that isn't working anymore.
HELP!

try this:
(a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
(b) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
(c) reboot into _*safe mode*_
(d) run the combo
(e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
now try launching iTunes again.

Why can't I sync my iPhone to my iTunes on my mac after it wiped without having to delete all the songs on my phone

TS3274 After updating to the latest version of itunes I now have no audio . The volume button is all the way up and it says "headphones". I never saw that before and can't find where to change it.

I updated to itunes 7.02 yesterday and now I have no audio. The side switch says mute or headphones. How do I listen to anything without headphones?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPod?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPod shuts down, press the On/Off button and hold until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

I bought a usb microphone (blue snowball). I can't hear any sound from it. The MIDI master volume is turned all the way down, and I can't turn it up because it's frozen/locked. Please help!!! Not very tech savvy, been at this for hours and desperate :(

I've been trying to fix this problem, seems like it would be simple, but apparently it is not. I just want to turn up the master volume control under my input tab in MIDI audio devices so I can use my blueball microphone.
This image above is what I'm currently dealing with. I put a red box around the volume control I want to use. That is the one I can't turn up because it is locked/frozen.
Please make steps as simple as possible!
Thanks

You should have gotten a user manual. If the manual is of no help, contact the manufacturer.
