Itunes does not open after install of 7.......solution maybe

hey
Ive been having the problem that itunes wouldn't open and nothing happened....no error messages nutin. The hour glass comes on but for 2 seconds. It doesnt register in task manager either.
However, i have managed to make it come back so if you have same problem give it a shot because its worked for me so far....
1. go to my music
2. open folder called itunes
3. click on previous libraries
4. click on the most recent library
5. give it a couple of minutes and it should come up.
This has worked for me and now when i click the icon it comes up i just have to wait a little bit.
My library hadnt been updated after the install so fortunately all my music is there so i dont know what will happen if you had put more music on inbetween the update and when it stopped working.
i havent purchased anything yet so dont know how that will affect it but it at least gives you a chance to backup your music......
Hope this helps
Sony   Windows XP  

did anyone find that this worked for them or is it a one off?

  • ITune does not open after installing IE7

    I have recently installed Internet Explorer 7 on my Window XP (with service pack 2). This causes me problem in opening iTune right now. After removing IE7, then restart the computer and reinstall iTune, I still cannot open iTune.
    Does anyone aware of this problem? Any suggestion as in how I can iTune running again. I have all songs organized in iTune and I have just used for long time. I want it to run again.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks

    Hi, Denise.
    There are no particular problems iTunes has running with IE7 - no problems I have or I have heard of - so let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes fails to launch situations:
    Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    If there's not an error mesage, let's check your QuickTime (its well-being is a prerequisite to a functioning iTunes).
    Go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
    Does it start?
    If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message?
    If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
    Do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?

  • Itunes does not open after saying successfully installed

    I have downloade the latest itunes. It says successfully installed but it does not open. I have restarted the computer but it still does not open. What can I do?

    Try following steps one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • Mini Bridge does not open after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

    I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2.  Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
    If Bridge is not already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge...  or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good!  I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
    If Bridge is already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
    My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all.  I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
    I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times.  The results are the same each time.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it?  I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.
    Thanks greatly,
    Mark.  

    Hi Peter,
    Just to bring you up to speed on what has happened to this issue, none of the suggestions that I received in the Bridge forum helped.  However, after restoring my C: drive back to prior to my updating attempts, I was able to successfully upgrade InDesign in Safe Mode (this is a Windows startup mode that blocks non-Microsoft applications from starting up on reboot).  Mini Bridge is now working correctly.
    Thank you again for your assistance.

  • Hp scanner software does not open after installing 10.4.8

    Your help, please...since installing OS 10.4.8 my HP scanner software (5370c) does not open. It appears to begin opening and the icon appears briefly on the Dock, but does not stay there.
    Also, the keyboard does not light up in low-light conditions as it did previously. Yes, I have the box checked in the keyboard section of system preferences. (It is a brand new keyboard, recently replaced, but the lighting worked under OS 10.3.9.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help,
    Dean

    yes, it seems to almost complete the installation and then tells me that I do not have the right permissions.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro does not open after installing CS6

    I successfully installed CS6 & Web Premium package. I found I could not open .pdf files so I reloaded Adobe Reader X and now realize I cannot open Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create .pdf files. Reinstalled Acrobat again this evening, restarted computer but same issue (Acrobe Acrobat X Pro - it does nothing when I try and open it). What am I missing? any insight is soooo appreciated!

    After installation of the CS6 suite, everything worked great.  I am not sure the time frame it took to notice the problem in Acrobat X Pro the first time as the user does not use it everyday, but the program would not open.  PDF files would only open if you chose to open them in Acrobat Reader and would not open in Acrobat X Pro.  There were no error messages nor were there any error logs in the event viewer.  The program just would not open.  If that user logged out of Windows and I logged in, the program would open but only for a brief period and then would close without warning and never open again. 
    I checked the dates and from the time that I last fixed the error addressed in this thread until it happened again was exactly 30 days which would make me think that the trial would end but it is actually not a trial.  It is a licensed suite. 

  • Itunes will not open after installing yosemite

    I installed Yosemite and have tried to repeatedly. Get my new Itunes 12 to open but it refuses. It will not make any indication that it is attempting to open. I have tried to reinstall it a number of times and it still will not open.
    any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've encountered the exact same problem.
    iTunes wouldn't start up at all, even tough it had the correct version.
    By browsing to the applications contents and running the itunes exec it would work.
    Also running it through Terminal would work. But simply not by clicking the iTunes.app
    However i've fixed it! by manually setting read and write so that you can delete the iTunes.app. (for a tut see http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/)
    Then manually Install iTunes again by downloading it at http://www.apple.com/nl/itunes/download/
    Then it worked fine with me! Hope it helps.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Itunes will not open after installing lion and software updates

    I just installed lion and completed the most recent software updates for my computer, now i cannot get iTunes to open without it "unexpectedly quitting" on me. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

    You can try two things - Open Disk Utility and repair all permissions for your hard disk and / or delete the iTunes Preferences plist file in userhome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
    However, Lion now hides this Library folder in your user home folder, so you will need to open the Terminal app and type
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    and press return
    This will show the Library folder

  • Itunes does not work after Update any more

    Itunes does not start after the uodate and cannot be reinstalled.
    Seems not only a problem to me
    Any solutions yet ?

    Hello Wizzie71,
    It sounds like you updated iTunes and now it will not open. Try the steps outlined in the following article. You may need to re install iTunes but your library will remain intact if you do.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • ITunes does not open when ipod connected

    Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

    Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.

    This goes on and on through different modules concerning .dll files but nowhere did is see an error code, this whole thing might be the code but I wouldnt know, the data is very very long. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as the utility cleanup but nothing works.
    Thank you for any and all help!

    Many thanks.

    With that one, the only workaround I'm aware of at the moment is to disable your BonJour Service.
    Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services and Applications"
    Open "Services"
    Right click on the BOnJour service and select "properties".
    In the General tab, change the start-up type to "disabled".
    OK out of the tab.
    Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch for you now?
