Cant get itunes to open after update. have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times

Cannot get itunes to open after updating. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions.

Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.
In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Itunes wont open after updated software last night

iTunes wont open up on my Mac after I updated software last night

Hey there Nedswan,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after it updated recently. I would check for 3rd party plugins that may have lost compatibility when the software was updated first:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
You should see this message before iTunes starts up: "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Note: This is different than Safe Boot or Safe Mode for Mac OS X. You may need to test both at the same time to isolate all third-party interference.
Click Continue and see if any issues persist. If your issues are resolved with iTunes running in Safe Mode, check the following:
Consult the vendor of any plug-ins you installed to see if they're compatible with your version of iTunes and check for any updates that may be available.
Close iTunes and move third-party add-ons to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in these locations:
Mac: /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

Itunes wont open after update for itunes and ipod

alright, so i have no clue what im doing. ive been going through this board looking for different solutions to my problem but nothing seems to be working and im running out of options.
i was having troubles with itunes before, so i unistalled itunes and quicktime and reinstalled it, and i was still experiencing the same problems with having the program open. i uninstalled and reinstalled once more and then i got it to open and when i tried to update my ipod, it said i needed the new updater software, so i downloaded that. after all of that, my itunes won't open again and i dont know what to do anymore. i just want my stuff to work and nothing i seem to do helps with the problem.
any ideas on what to do to get both itunes and my ipod to work again?

Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:

Good luck.

Error -3 / Itunes wont open after updated with Quicktime 7

I have been having problems with my Quicktimes for over a month. I was unale to take my son to his favortie websites. I was able to disable quicktime as a default, but now two things have happend. I can't open up Itunes, and now I can't hear any sound when I go to my son's favorite website. This happened a few days after I disabled it. I removed, and reinstalled Itunes, it wouldn't open, it said that I need to update. I updated it, and it still wont open. WhenI try to internal repair it it tells my error -3. Please help, I am about to lose my mind!
Thanks in advance

hi geraldo!
When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?

Itunes wont open after updating. windows 7 ultimate

Hi,
I have been using itunes for perfectly fine then when i updated it, it stopped working. The update required a restart but i elected to manually restart, but i believe i forgot to and tried to open itunes and i got an error saying "iTunes has stopped working: check online for solutions or close program." I restarted my computer but it still doesnt work. ive already tried numerous things like a fresh install (uninstalled every apple program basically). any suggestions?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)

Itunes not opening after updating

I've been having this problem for about a week, I upgraded to 5.0 (BIG MISTAKE) and now itunes will now open from my desktop, says there is an error do I want to send a report. I wouldn't be so concern if I didn't try to reinstall my Ipod (thinking this would help) not realizing that all my current music is in 5.0 (which isn't working) and 4.9 (is what the software on the disk is) works very nicely but wont except the 5.0 music (all of which is what I want to listen to).
Any suggestions of getting 5.0 to work, I've been at this for about 12 hours, 2 system restores and I'm still lost! I'm heading for Europe on Friday and have no music.............Please anyone, HELP ME!!!!!
Thank you anyone who can help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm losing my mind over this!

Cindy, I had that one. I can't remember all of the steps I took but I can now get iTunes working and not recognizing my iPod (I get the message that I need to reinstall iTunes).
You need to uninstall iTunes and QuickTime through the Add / Remove Programs AND delete certain folders.
This page should help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Ignore the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from Microsoft.
Does anyone know if Apple bothers to check the forums anymore. Have they hung us out to dry?

OK, since QT doesn't open let's fix that first, becasue iTunes will never run properly without QT.
Do a QuickTime standlone install right on top of iTunes. It seems to install better than the one bundled with iTunes.
If you have security software like Norton, make sure to turn that off before doing the install.

ITunes not opening after update

when i click on the iTunes app it do not open

Usually this means a file has been corrupted. Install it again and choose repair. It this does not resolve the issue do a fresh install. Be sure to use iTunes back up first.

ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
step one-
Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
(even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
step two-
download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
(i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
step 3-
open Terminal
step 4-
enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
killall iTunes
killall "iTunes Helper"
sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
step 5-
drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
step 6-
install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
step 7-
go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.
