ITunes is giving me a runtime error and won't load after trying to install update

After trying to install the latest update to iTunes my iTunes will no longer work. I've tried uninstalling and re-downloading and still get the same runtime error

Hello Scottee2hottee,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
For more information on this, take a look at:

1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
Best of luck,

Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear. Computer won't even start in safe mode.

My daughter's MacBook Pro was doing exactly the same thing. I don't know if it had anything to do with the latest update. She called me about a week ago saying that her MacBook began running slower by the day . She then called me Friday and told me that it wouldn't get past the gray screen and the gear just kept on spinning. I did everything I could over the phone including Safe mode which it wouldn't go into and thought maybe it was the hard drive. She took it to the Apple store. Originally, they also thought it was the hard drive. It ended up being a corrupted operating system (Lion). Apple genius simply re-installed Lion and she's back up and running. Good thing she backed up right before it crapped out. She'll be restoring everything tonight. Don't know if re-installing Lion will help your situation, but it did the trick for my daughter.

I'm now showing I have 9 updates in the App Store but when I click on updates it is blank and won't load. Tried to reset but didn't help. What now?

Can't execute PSE 10 today...giving me a runtime error and shuts down.

I have been using this program successfully for sometime but today program won't open because of a runtime error. I have read some of the posts but they are too complicated for me to understand. I need a clear answer on how to resolve this.

There is another way to remove preferences.
Go to location "C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements" and delete the 10.0 folder there. Please make sure that "Appdata" is hidden folder so you have change the folder visible permission from controlpanel in case you don't see the appdata folder.
Hope this might help.

ITunes doesn't load after trying to install the newest version

Hi. About three days ago when I opened iTunes it asked if I'd like to update. I decided too. After instaling when I opened it I got a message..I'm not sure what it was now, but it said something about needing a new version of Quicktime to opperate. So I downloaded the newest Quicktime. I no longer got that message, however, iTunes will not load. I get the little loading arrow, however thats as far as it goes. My dad tried to fix it and noticed iTunes is running in the background. But only in the background.
I completely uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it from my disc. It still won't load. I'm getting really frustrated because I want to update my iPod and am unable.
Any help please?

Hi vinyamar
I wonder whether you are getting the common conflict problem with Norton AV (or any other AV/antispy software for that matter)
I would recommend this approach
1.Back up your entire iTunes library folder preferably into a separate drive or external memory first. Search the forums if you are not sure how to do this.
2.Ensure you download the iTunes programme to your pc (save to desktop for example) not try to install online.
3.Once you have downloaded iTunes 7 to your pc, disable your AV/Spy software before you try to run the install.
4. Run the install, then reboot and allow your AV/antispy programmes to come back on (if they don't automatically on restart)
Try opening iTunes
If you have done this, and it still doesn't work, it may be your chosen AV software and/or firewall is not allowing iTunes to start up. Check the setting on your software in this regard.
I appreciate it is very frustrating when this happens, but be patient and search the forums. There are fixes for just about every problem!:)
In the worst case scenario you may have a nasty little virus which is blocking your iTunes launch. If you don't get any luck with the earlier method, try downloading and running EWIDO (an AV programme) scan and see if that helps as well. www.ewido.net/en/
It is free and incredibly useful in removing certain adware and malware that prevent iTunes from installing on Windows. Good Luck.

Itunes won't launch after trying to install podutil s/w

I purchased the ipod version of podutil. When installing the distribution s/w, it said "Podutil needs to run an application in order to determine if compatible with itunes". I agreed but it never returned any response as complete or unable to complete. Itunes showed in dock as running but never launched. When I tried to force quit, it would not quit. Even when I force quit in finder it would not quit. Now when ever I try to launch itunes it doesn't launch but it shows in dock as trying to run. It still doesn't respond when I try to force quit. If I attach the ipod, itunes still does not launch. Ipod shows up on desk top, I can launch podutil. I tried to run an upgrade for itunes found by software update (as an attempt to repair) but it locks up during update process.
Has anyone seen this lock-up using the software? My OS version my be off a bit, I'm sending this from PC at work so I can't check, but its last version of Jaguar.
powerbook G3 F/W bronze -pismo Mac OS X (10.3.3)

I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

I can't seem to get mountain lion to download. It just sits in my dock and won't load. Tried starting in safe mode an reloading - still won't work.

Very frustrated. I can't sync my music with my phone because apparently there is a bug in the version of iPhoto I have. So I tried to update to the latest and was told it's incompatible with my OS. So I decided to shell out the $20 for Mountain Lion (even though I feel I shouldn't have to since the software I'm using isn't working). Now the download of Moutain Lion just sits in the dock and won't download. I tried restarting the computer in safe mode and redownloading, still no luck.

Edit --> Preferences --> Media and Disk Cache --> Purge. And you might wanan consider substituting any compressed audio sources with WAVs, too, to avoid such corruptions. Similarly, check your audio in a proper audio editing app. Odd sample rates, weird channle mapping and so on can have all sorts of ill effects.

Back up corrupted and won't work after trying to restore when updated to 5.0.1?

I uprayed my iPod Touch to iOs 5.0.1 last night, all was going well until it got stuck at the "Connect with iTunes" screen. iTunes recognized the itouch and everything was fine in iTunes but the itouch screen wouldn't change. So I restore it back to factory setting and set it up as a new iPod touch since the 'Connect with iTunes' screen would not go away. I started to Restore from Back up from iTunes after its been connected to iTunes, now with the 'Connect to iTunes' screen gone. Halfway in, a message popped up saying that the back up has been corrupted or can't be used with the iPod touch. I lost everything. Can someone please help me with this?!

I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.
