ITunes Folder is missing and iTunes won't open

My iTunes wouldn't open a few days ago so I deleted iTunes and Quicktime along with the iTunes folder in my documents. Now when I try to redownload iTunes my folder (iTunes) won't appear. Also I can't even open iTunes. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

i have re-installed / maintenance install and the magical itunes folder in my music has re-appeared, itunes alas will still not open and still claims this folder in my music is not there. i have also deleted that src folder thing mentioned on the support page as a possible problem so that folder is not the cause of my current troubles.

Firefix has stopped opening on my mac, it sais that my profile is missing and it won't open. any help?

Firefox is refusing to open, every time i try it a window pops up saying that my profile is missing. anybody got any ideas at all?

Is there still a profile folder present in /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/ ?
Be aware that in Lion the $HOME/Library is now a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear

Please, where is that missing MSVCR80.dll? I don't remember misplacing it.

Safari and itunes won't open

I was using my mac 3 days ago and everything was fine, then comcast had a internet problem and I lost service for 3 days now I have internet but safari and itunes won't open the icon bounces once and then nothing. I have removed them from the dock, and removed them from the app folder, I also removed the plist and cache files from the home directory. Using firefox I tried to download new copies of them both and nothing new appears on my desktop. I have run the hardware test utility on my osx discs and everthing checks out ok. I am so frustrated, this is the first real problem with my mac since I got it 2.5 years ago. thanks in advance

ok here is an update, I repaired permissions in disk utility with my boot disk, then verified the volume and the volume had errors. I tried to repair the volume and disk utility said I had sibling errors and could not repair. I had an appointment with the genius bar and they determined that with the unrepairable errors on the drive an erase and install was necessary, after coming to grips with this reality I decided to backup everything and do the reformat and upgrade to leopard. I can honestly say that the genius bar person was very courteous and professional. They allowed me to stay at the bar while backing up my files onto my lacie external drive and then installed a new copy of leopard from their lacie drive (after I paid for my copy of leopard) which took 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. I am frustrated that I had to do this whole process and the genius bar employee could not tell me why it happened but the system is working great and I am enjoying the new operating system.

TS1717 My Itunes won't open and I am getting message "the file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be ready because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Any suggestions?

My iTunes won't open and I am getting message "the file iTunes library .itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

ITunes won't open after installing upgrade and restarting

When I click on my iTunes icon in the dock, iTunes won't open. Instead, a message box comes up: "The file iTunes "library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
Just before this happened, I imported a lot of music into my library. Now iTunes only opens if I pIug my ipod into my Mac.
Is there any way I can get iTunes to open by clicking on the icon, as it used to do?

What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
(don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
RESTART the computer
Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

My iTunes won't open! I uninstall it and re-install! When I try to open it says locked disk?

Hey pierrejordan,
Thanks for the question. The following article that goes over what to do when you receive a "Disk is locked" error on your Windows computer. Try out the steps within and see if that resolves the issue:

Have a good one,

Itunes won't open. Says can't find the folder

Hi,
I could install Itunes and Quicktime, I already tried the msconfig solutions but it doesn't work. I have a ipod with video and I can't get it to work because itunes won't open.
It displays the license agreement and after I agree it displays error message "Can't find itunes folder or can't be created and is needed for Itunes to work. This is normally located under My music folder".
I tried to create manually the folder, and still doesn't work.
Can you help me with this or tell me if I can use another application to transfer video and photos to my Ipod?

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

ITunes won't open and a Windows error message pops up

I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2.12 awhile ago. It worked fine the first time. Ever since then, whenever I plug in my ipod, my laptop recognizes and says it's syncing but iTunes won't open. I double click on iTunes and I get an error message from Windows saying that an error has occurred and it needs to close iTunes but it never even opens up. (The message doesn't give any error codes.) I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all its components and then reinstalling it but I get the same error message. I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP 3. Please help. Thanks.

Many thanks.
Yes, it is an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error. The ModName: dnssd. dll The ModVer: 2.0.5.0 Offset: 0000246c
With that one, by way of experiment, let's try disabling your Bonjour Service.
In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?

Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

A week ago, Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open but other applications will, like Mozilla, iPhoto, Word, Excel, etc. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get Safari and the other programs to open? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

Apps and movies won't open under my old itunes msn id, but the newer iCloud id presents no problem. i've reset the phone a number of times. is there away to get all my previous purchases from my old account transfered to the newer iCloud account?

i now have three Apple Store accounts. The first was when I signed up for mobileMe ending in "me." The second ending in "msn" And now the third ending in,"icloud"
The first two seemed to be linked and i would get notifications to update even when i wasn't signed into that account. All the apps downloaded worked just fine on my Iphone4 whether they were downloaded using my iphone or whether they were downloaded from my macbook pro no matter which account they were downloaded from. Now since i started using icloud and after a number of restores my Apple id under "msn" downloads on the apps and my movies all purchased from itunes won't open up. All the other id's apps open up just fine. I've reinstalled itunes, deleted all the apps under the msn account and tried to redownload on both my iphone and my laptop but, no sucess.
I think the only way to get the apps that i've paid for previously is the see if itunes could move my previous purchases from one account, "msn", to my "icloud" account. has anyone else had a problem like this and how can I makethis happen?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

Itunes won't open and tells me it is incompatible

iTunes won't open, have tried everything and nothing works. When I do a troubleshoot on it, it gives me a incompatible message, how can this be repaired???

Itunes won't open and i am getting this error message: the application itunes quit unexpectedly. the problem may have been caused by the libgnsdk_dsp.1.9.5.dylib plug in

Have not changed any settings on my mac. Quit the application end of the day. The next day I went to start it and it won't open. Everytime I try to launch it, it won't open and I get this error message: The application itunes quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the libgnsdk_dsp.1.9.5.dylib plug in

ITUNES WON'T OPEN AND GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE HELP

my iTunes won't open, and instead pops up a window saying:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)."
Something similar to this is happening with my mac DVD player. When I try to open that, it won't open and says:
"There was an initialization error. The audio output device could not be found. Please make sure speakers or an appropriate output device is connected. [-70027]"
doesn't come in to handy when you are about to watch a new episode of Lost .
anyway, I saw the speaker thing and went online. Any sound online (music, popups) can all make sounds - so my computer isnt permanetly muted. I've also restarted my computer, done the system updates, and gone into system prefereces to mess around with the volume. The computer recognizes the internal speakers. HELP!

Hey,
Here are the steps that should help:
1. Close all applications.
2. Go into the Finder>Home>Library>Preferences
3. Delete 'com.apple.iDVD.plist' and 'com.apple.iTunes.plist'
4. Restart Immediatley.
This should work. Cheers, Ricky.
