ITunes disappeared, how can I reopen it?

my iTunes set up/library randomly vanished, I have no idea how. The icon is still placed in the tool bar, but when I click it to open - nothing happens. I can't seem to get my library on the screen or connect to the store now via iTunes.
I can still play music when I go to Finder and the music folder, but how did the actual display disappear and what can I do to get it back?

Is iTunes still in the Applications folder? If so, try double-clicking on that; does that do anything different?

Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

Restore your phone as a new device in iTunes, this "should" remove the jailbreak & restore all default apps to your phone.

If for some reason you failed to transfer any apps purchased on the iphone to your computer, then you will need to redownload them:

As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.

I made a format action to my shuffle but it is dead now how can i reopen it

i made a format action to my shuffle but it is dead now how can i reopen it ?????

i did it on the PC
The reformatting was done using Windows?
Was there a problem (before you did the formatting) that caused you to try using Windows to reformat the shuffle's storage (instead of just doing a normal Restore using iTunes)? If so, that same original problem may be causing the problem with it stalling during the "recovery."
Normally, if you do a reformat of the iPod's storage outside of iTunes, when you run iTunes with the iPod connected, iTunes should see an iPod in "recovery," and ask you to Restore it. The Restore re-installs the iPod's software.
but never appears in itunes on my mac
If you have a Mac, I would try using Disk Utility (on the Mac) to erase the shuffle. Connect the shuffle. With iTunes NOT running, run Disk Utility. Does ths shuffle appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? If so, select the shuffle there; make sure you select the shuffle (the device), NOT the volume indented under the shuffle (if there is one).
Over to the right, go to the Erase tab. For a shuffle, select MS-DOS (FAT) as the Format (although it probably does not matter because you will be doing a Restore in iTunes later). Name it whatever you want. Erase it.
If that completes successfully, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. It should find the shuffle in "recovery" and tell you to do a Restore.

Re sync them from iTunes or re-download them from the App store. You will not be charged again if you download them with the same Apple ID used to purchase them originally.

I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't. You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

I have double IDs for Itunes. How can I delete one without losing my music. Also, I want to synce my new desktop computer with my older i4s. All devices are registered to do so. However, last time I tried I almost lost all music and Itunes BARELY supp

I have double ID's for Itunes. How can I keep all my music and get rid of the ID that I do not want. It was an issue when I tried to transfer music .. I contacted Itunes and they BARELY helped me get the music back. They also would only allow me to chose one ID to replenish the music (wich was lost) to my new device. So, I chose the ID that showed more music. I am irritated that I still have 2 ID's and can't really figure out why they both have the same music. Oldest to newest purchases are shown on both id's. Also, I am afraid to sync now because they told me it was a one time deal. When docked my phone to my new computer all of the music is shown on my computer now. However not on my I phone.

I had the same problem. I solved by (I use Windows7, should be same for OSX):
1. copying the library from the older computer to the new computer, at the usual itunes media location.
2. on new computer's itunes preference (advance), uncheck the box "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
3. open up this folder of media copied over from old computer, just drag over to itunes library, cursor will turn into plus sign.
4. since you unchecked the box for "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", you are in effect only growring the new computer's itunes library's database. Your media files are already under the folder on the new computer.
Now when you connect iphone to this new computer and tells you it wants to erase your iphone's library in order to sync with this one, go ahead, click yes. Why is this ok now? Because you've copied all your files over to the new computer. So when you sync again, your existing files are there on the new computer.
You should export play lists on the older computer to be imported on the new computer though.
