ITunes freezes / will not open / will not sync / will not detect Iphone

I am having numerous problems with iTunes. A few days ago iTunes began to freeze after opening, or not open at all. If it did open, it would not detect my iphone and would freeze when I plugged it in.
After reviewing these forums, I completely un-installed and re-installed iTunes, Quicktime, all the Apple Support applications, and Bonjour. I had to do this several times. I also ran anti-virus software, registry error software, disk-error checking software, with no results. I also ran a system restore to a date when iTunes was working. Eventually I got to a point where iTunes would open somewhat reliably, although slowly. However it would still not detect my iPhone, would often freeze after I connected my iPhone. Additionally, all of my audio files (music and podcasts) would not be detected by iTunes, and their associated libraries would show as empty, however the files were in the correct location on my hard drive.
I do not know what to do from this point...I have un-installed and re-installed iTunes upwards of a dozen times now, that can not be the problem. To the best of my knowledge, this problem began happening at random; I did not install any new software or make any changes to my system immediately prior to these problems occurring. Right now, after another re-install I am back to a point where I can't even get iTunes to open. Any help would be appreciated.
My System info:
Computer: Asus Notebook UL50VT/UL50Vg Series
OS: Windows 7 Home premium
iTunes version: iTunes 10.1.1 for Windows 64-bit
iPhone: 4.2.1
Please Help!
Thank you

Try this open your music app and access the store from there first, once done then you can go to the iTunes store app, try it and see if it works

    Hello colinOxford0917,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iBooks on your devices. If you continue to have issues opening the book in question on your iPad Air due to a format error, you may want to try deleting the copy on your iPad, then redownloading it directly to your iPad from the iBook Store. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me. 

  • I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund..

    I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund.. i am getting tired of these problems...

    Welcome to the world of downloaded software. There are no refunds.
    Back in the good old days when software was purchased on disk one could sell it (legally).
    Please describe your problem.  Give us some details to go from.   Are you using iMovie 06, or something newer?

  • A few months ago I purchased Snow Leopard, but realized too late that I already had Snow Leapord.  What I need is Snow Lion upgrade.  I did not open the software.  Will they refund refund this or exchange it for the Snow Lion upgrade?

    All Updates to Snow Leopard are gotten from Software Update or from the Apple download site.
    There is no Snow "LION". there is Lion and now Mountain Lion buit both of those are Download Only from the Mac App Store. You need to have Snow Leopard 10.6.6, .7 or .8 to have the Mac Apple store link on your Mac.
    To get Lion you need to call the Apple Store, 1-800-MYAPPLE, and order it. They will send you a download code to your Apple ID Email address so you can download it from the Mac Appl Store.
    Oh and when you call them to order Lion ask about returning Snow Leopard.

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

  • I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

    I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document...

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?

  • Could not open PS CS6 because disk not available - new info

    Running PS CS6 on a Mac Pro, Mt. Lion 10.8.1, 10 GB RAM, 3.6 Tb on 4 internal drives. A new problem cropped up just today.  Launching PS brings error msg Could not open because a dik was not aviable, and a 2nd msg Could not open a scratch file . . . .  Removing Prefs  file works, but there's a BUT: I can't change some prefs without the problem reoccurring.
    I can reproduce the following:  reinstall PS CS6, Change 1 preference, namely make another disk the scratch disk, move it to 1st place.  Problem reappears.  It appears I must leave the boot disk as the primary scratch disk.  All my disks are OK, repaired & permissions verified by Disk Util.
    Even if I just clear prefs, verify releaunch is OK, and change this one preference, I get the prob.
    FWIW here are the last few lines from the Console log:
    9/2/12 3:57:12.000 PM kernel[0]: proc 2934: load code signature error 2 for file "Adobe Photoshop CS6"

    The permissions verification (and repair) functions of Disk Utility will not tell you whether a permissions problem is preventing Photoshop from using your non-boot scratch disk. That only checks to see whether directories and files have permissions which match the permissions that they were given at the time of creation or modification by Apple software installer packages.
    My primary "scratch disk" is a non-boot volume. Here are the volume's permissions as seen at the bottom of a Finder Get Info window.

    How do I get notes in iCloud to sync with notes in McBook on Maverick?

    I don't use iCloud for such things, but I believe you go System Prefs > iCloud and check the slot by Notes. Or have you tried that?

  • "Could not open because it is either not supported....

    I'm trying to open a PDF from a site I frequent. When I attempt to download and open the file I get: "Could not open because it is either not supported file type or because it was damaged.
    I asked a customer service rep at the site if she was able to open the file I was attempting to open and she was able to do so.
    I can open other PDF's on my desktop. WIndows XP
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Can you please share the exact error message that you are receiving.
    As "~graffiti" also mentioned, it would be useful if you could let us know which version of Adobe Reader you are using and any PDF link which may not be working for you.

    can not open photos saved on to PC from iphone 4S all photos are 3.5 GB

    The problem is the photo viewer in the PC. Orientation metadata is stored with the photo and is not being interpreted correctly by the program being used to open it.
