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 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 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 won't open after 10.6 install

I can no longer open itunes after a fresh install of 10.6 and a migration of settings/files from a back-up.
Now when I open itunes I get:
"The itunes library file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file."
My itunes library is on an external HD. I've repaired permissions and removed the itunes preference file, still no luck.
Any help would be great.

I don't pay any attention to updates, but last week my entire itunes library vaporized. I used my back-up disks to get my stuff back, but all the playlists are empty and itunes is crashing constantly. Just trying to click on another song or playlist causes it to "spin" and I end up force quitting. Oddly enough if I use my remote control it works better than from the desktop.
I'm really disappointed with this whole thing, as I had never had problems with my macs like this. And someone mentioned antivirus software. Should I have that on my macs???

ITunes doesn't load after trying to install the newest version

Hi. About three days ago when I opened iTunes it asked if I'd like to update. I decided too. After instaling when I opened it I got a message..I'm not sure what it was now, but it said something about needing a new version of Quicktime to opperate. So I downloaded the newest Quicktime. I no longer got that message, however, iTunes will not load. I get the little loading arrow, however thats as far as it goes. My dad tried to fix it and noticed iTunes is running in the background. But only in the background.
I completely uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it from my disc. It still won't load. I'm getting really frustrated because I want to update my iPod and am unable.
Any help please?

Hi vinyamar
I wonder whether you are getting the common conflict problem with Norton AV (or any other AV/antispy software for that matter)
I would recommend this approach
1.Back up your entire iTunes library folder preferably into a separate drive or external memory first. Search the forums if you are not sure how to do this.
2.Ensure you download the iTunes programme to your pc (save to desktop for example) not try to install online.
3.Once you have downloaded iTunes 7 to your pc, disable your AV/Spy software before you try to run the install.
4. Run the install, then reboot and allow your AV/antispy programmes to come back on (if they don't automatically on restart)
Try opening iTunes
If you have done this, and it still doesn't work, it may be your chosen AV software and/or firewall is not allowing iTunes to start up. Check the setting on your software in this regard.
I appreciate it is very frustrating when this happens, but be patient and search the forums. There are fixes for just about every problem!:)
In the worst case scenario you may have a nasty little virus which is blocking your iTunes launch. If you don't get any luck with the earlier method, try downloading and running EWIDO (an AV programme) scan and see if that helps as well. www.ewido.net/en/
It is free and incredibly useful in removing certain adware and malware that prevent iTunes from installing on Windows. Good Luck.

My iTunes will not open after a re-install

I went to the apple store b/c my computer was running my computer has been running slow. They told me to try to do a re-install after saving things on an external hard drive. I followed their advice and now iTunes now will not work. I tried to download iTunes 8, but my system requirements won't allow for it. Next, I tried to download version 7 as I know that one should work. But, once it was done downloading I had a application, with no program to open it with. I am not sure how to get it back up and running. Any ideas?

I slept on it, and tried to open up iTunes today...for some reason the error message changed and now said I needed a newer version of Quick Time. I got the latest one, then it said I needed to upgrade the iTunes, so I did that as well (I got version 7.3.1) and then was able to get it to work.

Itunes doesn't open after 10.4.7 upgrade "Clarification"

Just to clarify my last post... Actually the problem of Itunes just bouncing up and down but not openning happened after installing the Itunes 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 as well as the Mac OS 10.4.6 to 10.4.7... I recieved 4 programs to be updated from Software up-date, Mac OS 10.4.7, Itunes 7.1.2 and two other programs, I don't remember what they were... Is there a way I can reinstall just the Itunes up-grade? Everything else seems to be working fine...
Thanks, Dave

Itunes 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 as well as the Mac OS 10.4.6 to 10.4.7...
You probably mean QuickTime 7.1.2.
Does QuickTime open correctly?
You might try running the Combo-updater. It sometimes fixes these problems.
You can download it here.
After that, run the iTunes updater again. You might need to remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' and the 'iTunesX 6.0.4.pkg' files from ./Library/Receipts if the Installer does not want to re-install iTunes.
If you're running Protools, read this article.
Hope this helps.

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.
Compaq Windows XP

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?
