ITunes Hangs on Start and Can't Load My Library

I started installing iTunes 11.1.1 on OS X 10.8.5 but, forgot to restart the computer. Then, a few days later, I opened iTunes and it hung on opening. It wouldn't even force quit. So, I ended up having to hard restart the computer. After that it still hung on start-up.
Eventually, I deleted iTunes and then used "Clean My Mac" to delete a more few more stray files. Then, I reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1. After that, it opened with an empty iTunes folder. The only thing listed was my purchased music from iCloud. Then, I replaced the default iTunes folder with my original iTunes folder from about a month ago, using Time Machine. That didn't help, it still hung up at start and I had to force quit each time.
I tried going back further in time machine (about 3 months) and the same thing happened. So, I'm pretty sure it's not the library folder.
I also tried repairing permissions with the Disk Utility and that didn't seem to help anything either.
Yesterday a new version of iTunes was released (11.1.2 I believe) so I upgraded to that thinking it would help, but no, I still have the same problem.
Can anyone help me get iTunes working again with my original library?

Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

ITunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update.

iTunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update. I have tries reinstalling, but it comes up with it again. I have uninstalled every Apple program and reinstalled them but still the same.

What's the precise text of your message, Callum? There's a few different ones I can think of that mention reinstalling iTunes.

ITunes can't load Aperture library for iPad Air sync

I have a 120gb Aperture library stored on my NAS. Got my new iPad Air and when I go to the Photos tab in sync options, the gray wheel just keeps on spinning indefintely. I don't know if it can't load a library that big, or if there's something else going on. If I create a small Aperture library it works fine. Anyone else had this issue?
Running 11.1.3 on Mavericks.
Thanks!

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with a 42GB Library. Same issue even if I create a new smaller library. When I click on the device in itunes and then photos I get the grey wheel turning for hours. I tried switching to iPhoto library and the issue seems worse.

I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.

How can I find my password for iTunes? Forgot it and can't see how to restore or change it. It is not the same as the apple id password - or so my iPhone iTunes says - Help

I don't want to reset my apple ID password. I know it's right. It doesn't work on Itunes to restore my phone. All the passwords I know are not working. I want to know why.

TS3074 Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either. anyone help with this?

Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either. anyone help with this?

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

Itunes won't start. and if it does it takes 20 minutes

My itunes will not start, and it very rarely and randomly does after about 20-30 minutes after i try to open it. Ive tried repairing, redownloading, and removing both quicktime and itunes. ive ran compatibility mode in every type of windows os, as well as turned compatibility mode off. Im running windows 7 64 bit. Itunes is in the task manager under processes as iTunes.exe *32. ive tried ending it multiple times and reopening itunes but it just pops up again under processes and not under applications. Ive heavily researched the internet and cant find anything for it. Please help me!!

sounds like you got a bad copy uninstall it and download a new one from itunes.com

BookCamp will not help
PowerPC is the processor that Apple used prior to switching to Intel. It is a very old version of Apple for which support has been dropped.
It is not Windows which is what BootCamp will allow you to install.

i have photoshop 5.0 limited edition and can't load it onto my pc with window 7. advice please? thanks

It is not compatible with Windows 7. Advice could include telling you to purchase the latest version. The other option would be to buy an old computer that is capable of running it.
