ITunes in Windows 8 won't open

when i open itunes nothing happened (really nothing happend) but the process starts. and when i open in safe mode it's have a dialog and nothing happend again

My iTunes suddenly opened. This may sound strange and perhaps it was not even related. I was looking for a solution and in the past I had disabled my firewall and virus protection (trying to reduce resources impacts). I re-enabled these and did some firewall settings and suddenly it poped up.
It is possible to that a background scan of my library was going on and it simply took a long time to process. Wht there wasn't a status dialog to this extent though would rule this out.
At any rate, I have mine working and hope you manage to make progress with yours.

Itunes for windows won't open

clicking on the itunes icon does nothing, nor trying from the program list. I removed itunes & reinstalled it (downloading from apple), tried the repair option, tried downloading to a different drive, but nothing. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the latest windows update, as yahoo messenger doesn't work since then either.
any suggestions?

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good
antispyware checker and give it a go at your system.
Some recent spyware has been reported by other users
to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching.
From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at
catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido
here.
I tried ewido and it found a lot of adware, but I'm afraid itunes and yahoo messenger still won't work. thanks for the suggestion, though.

Itunes Mac window won't open

8.2.23 opens with only the menus across the top and a small player that plays only one song at a time. But the File menu has all window choice grayed out. I reinstalled 8.2.23 but it's the same. No library, playlists, radio, iTunes store etc. Any ideas? I tried the preferences but don't see choices about this.
Most of the songs are on an external HD but some are still on the computer.

I haven't installed 8.2 (and that's "8.2.0.23," not "8.2.23") yet, so I don't know what's going on. However, the first thing I would try is CommandOption1. If that didn't make the window appear, then I would go to my iTunes Library file or one of my previous library files (with the most recent date) and open it directly. Or shift-launch iTunes. And if that still doesn't get the main window to appear, uninstall 8.2 and revert to 8.1.
Also, have you also updated to QuickTime 7.6.2? That might help. Another thing is that you could try downloading the standalone install DMG rather than using Software Update.

New iTunes, Login Window won't open

After installing iTunes 7.02 last night, I tried opening it. Unfortunetly it slowed the computer down a lot and I forced quit it. Later when I turned on my computer to use again, it acted very slowly, taking 45 minutes just to get to where the login window should be. But the loading bar stops just at the very end, and I am deprived of logging on. I tried numerous solutions, including trying to reinstall OS X, It wouldn't let me as there was a newer version, repairing the disk permisions with system profiler, it froze halfway through, repairing the disk with system profiler, it was unbale to repair 1 disk, go into single user mode to fix some plists, try safe booting, it wouldn't work either, I tried to use the Techtool Deluxe program that comes with Apple Care, it wasn't able to boot from that. Please help!

I just got Tech Tool to turn on, guess it was taking a really long time.

My iTunes for windows won't open no matter how many times I re-install it. Please help how to fix this!

And there was once when i tried to re-install again. There was this window said all my purchased apps will be erased and I have to repurchase them in the future. What is going on here?

Linc Davis has indicated how to Force Quit out of any application that is frozen.
For your Mail issue, try the following:
- Go to Software Update to apply the new update for Mail. Not sure, but there may be bug fixes in the new version.
- Go to Disk Utility (In Applications, Utilities) and run a Permissions Repair. Then do a restart of your computer.

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

Itunes browser window won't show on mac

Since yesterday the jukebox browser window in itunes for mac won't open or show. I had version 8.01 installed. The mini browser window does show. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes but it still won't show. I've also tried altering preferences. this is in the administrator account, and I can still get itunes to work OK in other accounts. It seems that itunes is working otherwise, but as a result I can't access the itunes store or choose music. I'm concerned that I can't synch my ipod and iphone properly as I can't see what might be happening.

I'm an Apple Authorized Service Provider and just had a customer with the same issue (which is how I found this post). After much troubleshooting including deleting preferences and creating test user accounts, the problem was as simple as can be. The iTunes window was open the whole time, but was dragged all the way to the lower right hand corner of the display and out of sight. Select Window->Minimize and you should see the Browser window move from whereever it's hiding into the dock. Then click on the window in the dock and you'll see it move back to it's hiding spot. Just drag it to the center of the screen and you're done!

ITunes 11.3 won't open

iTunes 11.3 won't open on 13" Mac Macbook Pro mid 2012 OS X 0.8.2

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

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?

Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.
Any suggestions most welcome…

ITunes 10.7 won't open some Libraries

I just noticed that iTunes (10.7) won't open some of my libraries. I have 5 that I use for various purposes. The main one with all my music is now grayed out. Only 2 out of the 5 will load, and they are not the most important ones, so I am kind of stuck.
A few weeks ago I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Mountain Lion 10.8, then got an iPhone 5, but iTunes worked for a while after the upgrade and I put some songs on the iPhone.
I just got the fix for iPhoto 4.9 which was causing it's own problems, and now iTunes isn't working. (Actually it wasn't working when iPhoto had problems too.)
So what can I do to fix this? Delete my library files and start over just when I had it all set up for the iPhone? And will it happen again?

A valid iTunes library has a file called library.itl The .xml file is a copy in a different format put there by iTunes so other programs can read the library, but itunes itself uses the .itl file. So in essence the folders with no .itl have no library. You can create a blank library by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. Now import the .xml file from one of those orphan libraries.

The hyperlink window won't open in 2014 version. Anyone else having this problem?

The hyperlink window won't open in 2014 version. Anyone else having this problem? I'm using HP Envy Laptop with Windows 8.1.

Sort of. As part of the next update we'll make Muse ignore the 125% scale setting. This will make it easier for you to use that setting with all your other applications, but even when your Display is set to scale 125% the Muse UI will be presented at 100%. Unfortunately the current transition architecture of Muse (part native 64-bit app and part Adobe AIR app internally) combined with how Windows 8 and 8.1 achieve 125% scaling means it will be quite some time before Muse will be able to correctly support 125% Display scaling. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
Help!

With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
/Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.

Console Window won't open

Have 2, i7 MBPR. One is running 10.8.5 and one is running Maverick 10.9.4. On the one with 10.9.4, whenever I launch the console.app, the window won't open. Even when I choose "New Log Window" or command n from the menu. The MBPR running 10.8.5, the console.app works as it should. Anyone else running 10.9.x experience the same and found a fix?

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then 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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
