ITunes doesn't want to open...

Hi,
Recently iTunes has not been opening. After my computer logs on (Windows 7 Home Premium x64), I click the shortcut for iTunes in my taskbar, but it doesn't open. The process is running in Task Manager, and Bonjour Service is also running. Then, when I try to end iTunes.exe process, it doesn't end. I have to wait about 10 minutes after hitting End Task until the process ends, and then after it ends, iTunes opens fine. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have iTunes 11.1.3.8.
Thanks!

Howdy there noahm1996,
It sounds like you are getting some unexpecteded performance issues when trying to open iTunes. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Create a new user account
By creating a new user account, you can determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
Log in to the new user account.
Open iTunes and see if the issue you're experiencing persists in this new user account.
If you have the same issue in the new user account, proceed to the "System-wide troubleshooting" section. If you don't experience the same issue, proceed to the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.

Hi bae go,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes, start with the troubleshooting steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If your iPhone appears in iTunes but is not responding, try these steps first:

After update, itune doesn't want to open

hello, i've just upgrade itunes, tryed to open it, the icon bouncing and disapear.
does anyone got an answer
it's the same with safari 3 beta
help me plz

I had the same problem.
1. Fixed permisions on target drive.
2. Turned off "iTunes Helper". (This may not be nessisary but it is what I did.) Run Activity Monitor found in Utilities. Scroll to "iTunes Helper" select it then select Inspect. In the pop up window select Quit.
2. Downloaded a new 7.3 iTunes file and upgraded from this.
Works now.
Another computer I own, same model and OS vr., had no problem the first time.
Read some of the other good suggestions in other threads.
Good luck!

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

Go further down on the same screen and look for more information. (I do not remember the exact words) Upon clicking on it a new page opens in Safari for instructions, including opening Terminal under Utilities, etc. Then you will have to add # and a space to one of the lines. Then save and restart the computer. It worked for me. I am sorry I do not remember the exact sequence of these steps. Hope this helps you.

My upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 was deleted by accident. The 2nd download doesn't want to open?

In Aug I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12. It worked fine but this week someone worked on my PC and deleted it by accident. Now I downloaded it again but it doesn't want to open?

Alan
If your program is Photoshop Elements 12, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow you thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
Photoshop Elements
While you do that something to think about....putting on my Photoshop Elements 12 hat for the moment...
If you have Photoshop Elements 12 and are in its Elements Organizer 12 and you want to edit of of the Elements Organizer 12 photos in the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, I do not
find any right clicks in that maneuver. Have you tried...
1. Select the Elements Organizer 12 thumbnail for the photo
2. Look to the bottom of the workspace to where it shows an Editor button. Click on the tiny triangle to the right of the work Editor in the button.
You should then get a pop up menu with choices of External Editor, Photoshop, Video Editor. click Photoshop. Does that work to get
you into the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor workspace to edit that photo?

Itunes doesn't want to add a m4a.mp3 audio file

Hi everybody, a friend of mine sent me some university lessons she recorded on her computer. They are m4a.mp3 files and Itunes doesn't want to read them or add them on my Ipod 6th generation. What can I do? Thanks in advance guys!

Hi Caminouflet,
.m4a and .mp3 are two different file formats. If they are actually .m4a files, the .mp3 at the end of the file name may be confusing iTunes as to how they should be played. For more information about file formats in iTunes, you may find the following articles helpful:

Zabanya,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
http://www.illustrator.fixtoolbox.com/
As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

My iphoto froze...doesn't want to open. What do i do?

My iphoto froze...doesn't want to open. What can i do?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

TS2430 my iphone shut down. it doesn't want to open. what do i need to do?

iphone 4s shut down while my son is playing. i tried to on but it doesn't want to work. i need help.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until it begins to start. Usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes. It may turn ON itself, if still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, it may take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

Hi peggkel,
Are you saying you just want to change your home page to Yahoo? Not to worry, it's quite easy! You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!
