ITunes installs properly, but will not open

I have just upgraded from iTunes 6.0.1 to 6.0.2
Everything installed correctly, and I am receiving no error messages; the program simply will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, and I have exactly the same problem each time.
My music files (including ones that I purchased from Apple's music store) will open with other players, but will not open with the newly installed v6.0.2
I am running Norton Internet security, but the problem still occurs after I disable the program.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Well, that annoying. So, I am a bit confused here. Does iTunes launch at all or sometimes? BTW, You need to Configure Norton to allow iTunes to open. Otherwise, it will continue to block it silently.
Do you see, under your Processes tab in your Windows Task Manager, both Quicktime and iTunes?

Itunes Installs Correctly, but will not Open

Hello
I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows XP and I installed it correctly yet when I attempt to open it the hourglass appears for a second and then disappears and no iTunes. I tried to open it with the process list in front of me and saw that it indeed opens but then disappears off the list. Please help. I do not have any firewalls running, am an administrator on my computer, have tried uninstalling-reinstalling several time on different Windows accounts but nothing has worked.
Please help me. Thank You.

I'm having the exact same problem I think. Spent about an hour on the phone with tech support, installing and uninstalling to no avail.
Basically, when I would click on the itunes icon, it would try to open.Sometimes, a white EULA screen would pop up VERY fast and close immediately....I couldn't click on anything. Other times, nothing except hourglass. Same behavior as others in task manager.
Tried opening things up in safe mode and got much further. It wouldn't open everytime...sometimes, I have to shut down in task manager a couple of times, but it would open eventually. Once I couldn't open and had to shut down, but it does eventually open.
Now here's the important part (I think): After accepting the EULA in safe mode, I get an error message that says " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio config. Audio / Video playback may not operate properly." Everytime I open it now in safe mode, get the same message. In normal mode, iTunes behaves exactly as before (.exe pops up in TM, but does nothing and closes) with no error. So I'm thinking that this "audio config problem" is causing iTunes to shutdown in normal mode.
I'm still working on figuring out how to get rid of error. I've tried disabling everything under Sound in device manager...no help. I also tried removing Windows Media PLayer's association with all files thinking one file type may have 2 default programs.
Anyone else with this problem able to confirm similar error? (use F8 during startup to get into safe mode) Let me know if you figure anything out or have ideas of what may be conflicting.

Itunes is running but will not open after most recent 9.1 update w/Bonjour

I recently loaded the most recent update for Itunes 9.1 version on 3/31. Since then, I have not been able to open my Itunes. I think it might be related to Bonjour because I see that it was added during my most recent update and I have never had it on my computer before. Now, i cannot get back into Itunes. I installed the update but when I double click on the itunes icon to open the file - I get nothing. The screen never shows up. Yet when I go to the task bar it says itunes is running in the background but there is no evidence of this. Help - I have been installing and reinstalling for the past couple of days with no luck.

I have three computers that are practicably clones of each other and the new itunes update failed on two of them but one worrked fine. Here is fix that worked for me. This fix was suggested by another member but I cannot recall or find his post. My system is WinXP sp3 with all the latest patches.
1. Download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 for Windows http://support.apple.com/downloads/
2. Open task Manager and stop the mdnsresponder process. The corrupted mdnsresponder will be using 50% of your cpu.
3. Open control panel / add remove programs. Find the bonjour app and click on it.
4. Note the corrupted version of bonjour 2.0.0.34 by clicking on the support link.
5. Uninstall bonjour
6. Restart Windows.
7. Install the AirPort Utility. This will install a good working version of mdnsresponder. Restart windows again.
8. Upon restart you will see a new the airport icon in your task tray. You can also find mdnsresponder.exe running under process in task manger with little or no cpu usage. Your bonjour app under add remove panel will now be version 1.0.106

Itunes is downloaded, but will not open

Itunes and quicktime was successfully installed on my computer and while quicktime is running, itunes is not. I've tried everything; installing and uninstalling, but to no avail. I have no idea what to do anymore. I have windows xp service pack 2, an ipod nano, windows firewall....yada yada.If anyone had this problem and had it solved, please help me out.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever

Re: Why won't my iTunes movie rental play or download?
This worked for me when I ran into the same issue (can scroll through rented movie but can't play it). Just switch iTunes to the MiniPlayer (in the Window menu) and then back to the normal player. Apparently, you may need to do this a few times. It sounds odd (and I didn't really expect it to work), but it fixed the problem for me.

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:

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and in my email i can't select anything with the mouse

After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and when I want to write an email in my outlook email i can't select anything with the mouse. so copy past en delete are not an option.@

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

HT2311 Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: What to do??

Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: WHAT TO DO?
Recently I updated to Snow Leopard from 10.5.8 and then updated to 10.6.8. The recent update to itunes 10.7 has completely failed as iTunes fails to boot up and just send a message to Apple. So now I cannot access my music library. I tried deleting the new iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling iTunes 10.6.3 and also 10.3.1 with exactly the same result. I did the installation after turning off as many background software items as I could like Sophos Anti Virus and Little Snitch. This makes one want to give up on software updates - I have had an increasing number of failures as my machine gets to 5 years old.
Macbook:
Model: MacBook3,1, BootROM MB31.008E.B02, 2 processors, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2 GHz, 4 GB, SMC 1.24f3

OK - I have found my own fix in an older thread / discussion:-

Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. I am using Lion.

I am using Lion and Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. It goes into an ongoing loop that only allows a force quit. I repaired permissions but it didn't help. The only way to upgrade my OS for ipod is through Itunes on the computer!

It looks like the iPhoto window but stays on a blank white screen with the spinning ball. I have to force quit to stop it.
