ITunes doesn't open after upgrading to 7.3

Since upgrading to 7.3, I can't get iTunes to open. I click on the icon, the application opens for about a second an then closes. The iTunes icon remains in the system tray until I move the mouse over it, at which point it disappears. If I don't move over the icon and try to open it again, I end up with two icons in the tray. If I do this one or two more times, the app opens, I get an "updating library" popup that hangs, and the CPU usage maxes out. I've let it go for a while on the off chance that it might actually be doing something, but the status bar never budges and I ultimately have to close it with Task Manager. This is incredibly frustrating, and I can't believe I'm the only person to which this has happened. HELP!

I've been dealing with this for the past few days too. Remove iTunes and go onto oldapps.com/itunes. Install version 7.1.1 and this should at least get you to use itunes. don't worry about losiung your songs either.

  • ITunes doesn't open after upgrade

    No error messages and I have loaded the most recent version of 7.x. I do receive the licensing agreement, but the software won't open visibly, it is running in task manager. Assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. I've uninstalled an reinstalled and nothing seems to work.

    I do receive the licensing agreement, but the software won't open visibly, it is running in task manager.
    is it just flashing the license agreement at you? or is it presenting itself, closing when you click agree, and then nothing happens?
    if you get to click agree, does the same thing happen every time you try to launch itunes?
    if it's happening everytime, by any chance do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?

  • HT201263 iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone

    After trying to update to ios 7.0.6, iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone and doesn't show the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.", which it should. What do I do now?

    Hi vld17,
    If your iPhone isn't showing up in iTunes after being placed in Recovery Mode, you may find one of the following articles helpful:

  • ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

    iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

  • 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.

  • ITunes won't open after upgrade. Help!!!!

    I upgraded to 7.0.2 and now my iTunes won't open at all. No error message. Nothing. When I click on it, it seems like something is happening with hourglass thing going but nothing happens. No error message.....no nothing.
    I looked under Processes in my Task Managaer and I see iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe but I don't know whats going on.
    Pleeeeeeeease heeeeeeeeeelp.
    I love my iPod too much for it to be out of commission.

    It's 2006
    okay. it's way rarer to get this sort of thing due to NIS 2006 than it is with 2005, but it has been known to happen.
    try the technique from the following bbecker post. (heads-up ... it's taking a long time for that post in that thread to load for properly for some folks. so leave it to think for a few minutes until it's loaded fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post.)

  • ITunes doesn't open after the first time

    Hi, my iTunes after the last upgrading doesn't open. Really it open the first time after starting pc then , when i shut down it seems frozen. Could you help me? Do you ave a solution?

    Try following steps and test 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.

  • Itunes will not open after upgrading to 9

    I cannot run itunes 9 on XP
    Everything worked fine untill version 9 was released. At that point I reinstalled version 8 and everything was working.
    Last week I bought an ipad and it forced me to upgrade to the latest version.
    I opened after installing but once I rebooted Itunes no longer opens.
    Itunes does not apear under applications in Windows task manager
    under processes I see:
    Itunes.exe
    Ituneshelper.exe
    Applemobiledeviceservice
    Ipodservice.exe
    If I try to open Itunes again a second copy of Itunes.exe apperes in processes.
    Itunes.9.2.0.61
    Apple application 1.3.0
    Apple mobile device support 3.1.0.62
    Apple software update 2.1.1.116
    Running microsoft xp home edition 2002 Service pack 3

    Norton security suite 4.2.0.12
    That's the one that Comcast distributes?
    If so, I'd check the firewall rules for your iTunes in the Norton suite first. (Norton generally has to update a rule for iTunes when your iTunes version is upgraded, so it's a prime time for something to go wrong with your rule for iTunes.)
    End any running iTunes.exe processes, and then check to see if you currently have an iTunes rule in the firewall.
    If you don't have an iTunes rule at all, create one allowing full access to the internet.
    If you have an iTunes rule that doesn't allow full access to the internet, edit the rule to allow access to the internet.
    If you have an iTunes rule that does allow full access to the internet, delete it and create a new rule for iTunes (allowing full access to the internet).
    Restart the PC and then try another iTunes launch. Does it launch correctly this time?

  • ITunes won't open after upgrading to 11

    My girlfriend's iPad mini is disabled, so I'm trying to connect it to her old macbook (10.6.8), the one which it is associated with.  Upon plugging in the iPad, I was prompted to update iTunes, because the iPad is running iOS 7 and needs the latest version of iTunes.  I said ok, and iTunes upgraded to 11.
    Now, iTunes will not start.  When i click on the icon, it bounces once and then nothing else happens.  I've tried restarting, creating new accounts, and deleting all the com.apple.itunes preference files, but it's not working.  What the ****?  I can't undisable the iPad because iTunes won't start.  How do I fix this?

    After updating to OSX 10.9.3, my iTunes won't open. If I try to drag it to trash, I get the message "iTunes can't be modified or deleted because it is required by OS X".

  • Itunes won't open after upgrade

    i upgraded to the latest itunes yesterday morning and now itunes will not open. i can get quicktime to open. i have tried everything it says on the itunes website, i have turned off NAV and still it will not launch...grrrr. what can i do?

    The 208 error is from the authorization file being corrupt. Make sure you are set up to view hidden files.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=816513
    After having checked my other computer for what files had been altered or created this last day (during thich i had successfully authorized it for playback in preview and for purchased music) i found the file "SC Info.sidb" under "X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info". This appears to hold your authorization keys or some other magic stuff. By deleting this files parent folder, iTunes was forced into asking me to authorize this computer again for playback, with the difference this time that there were some other options on the authorization dialog, just like there should be when for the first time authorizing a computer to play protected iTunes content. When I then entered my information as always and was expecting to see the same -208 error, i was instead greeted with sweet opera that I had been longing to listen to.
    P.S. It's voilà, not walla (giggling)

  • Itunes will not open after upgrade

    After upgrading to the latest version of itunes and quicktime it will not open (no error message given). If i log off as administrator and log on as another user it will open. is there a fix for this?

    there's a few different things that can cause that on a PC.
    perhaps try working through the user-account-specific section of the following document first:
