ITunes never starts after upgrade to 7.1.1.5

I let the apple updater upgrade my iTunes to a newer version of '7' to hopefully fix a few lingering bugs. After doing so, everything seemed to work fine. Songs and playlists were present and my iPods were synced.
After rebooting a few days later (windows XP, latest service pack/patches), iTunes will not start. When I select the shortcut or the program from 'all programs', it gives me the hourglass for a couple of seconds and does nothing afterward. No errors in the event log, no popup windows addressing an error situation. It just doesn't start. Quicktime player (7.1.5) works fine. This happens after a clean powerup, before any other apps are started.
Any ideas? I hate to think that I have to uninstall and reinstall again. I did many times after 7.x was released (including one full refresh of the XP opsys after corruption from the first release of 7). After the initial upgrade, I thought that the bugs in 7 were finally ironed out for me.

Most likely, this will fix your issue:
1: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Also clean up your temp files:
(Empty your Temp directory and restart)
2: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
If you get an error when uninstalling quicktime, go through article 1, then run the Microsoft Cleanup Utility to remove quicktime afterwards:

Itunes wont start after upgrading for iPhone

has anyone had this problem after upgrading itunes? I downloaded the new software and it appears to install fine (I even restarted my laptop) but when I click on itunes or quicktime, nothing happens. I've checked the processes list to see if its running and it shows that applemobiledevice.exe, ipodservice.exe, launchapplication.exe ituneshelper.exe are running. can anyone help? I'd really like to sync my calendar and contacts.
thanks

Hi chrisr2sf;
Since this is the iPhone forum where you posted you might have more response if you post over in the iTunes for Windows forum instead.

ITunes wont start After upgrading to 6.0

I just updated to 6.0 and now when i clicked on the itunes icon it comes up with a send error report box. I tried downgrading to 5.01 and the same probume happens. i re installed 6.0 7 times and the same probume happens. So i currently have 6.0 installed. Again iTunes dosent even open up. Any ideas on getting it to work anyone?
Thanks in advanced
-Kyle
EDIT:my PC crashed during instlliation if this could effect anything.

hi y'all!
first try a careful QT 7.0.3 reinstall. see:
b noir, "QuickTime Installation FAILED!! "Error Code: -1"" #1, 09:31am Oct 22, 2005 CDT
but if no joy with that, try the following more rigorous technique:

I'm having the same problem ! Each time the sync starts it suddenly stops and says finished syncing

Suddenly itunes shows only 5 songs while there are 550 songs in my iphone. I suspect it started after upgrade to ios7.1.1

When you look at Setting > General > About does it show 550 in Songs?
Can you add songs to your phone from iTunes on your computer?
I did an iOS update to one of the 6.X versions and it wiped out all my music and I had to add it back manually even though I has just done a backup to iTunes. Restoring from that backup didn't help. My music was all gone. But since then I have not had any problems with the updates erasing my music.

Caldavd failing to start after upgrade to Server 3.2.1

This problem, caldavd not starting after upgrading to Server 3.2.1, is a variation on the theme of PostgresQL not starting. It too boils down to a postgres database not having been updated properly. Below are the steps needed to fix this problem:
sudo su -
# Change to the directory with the postgres database for the calendars and contacts
cd /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data/Database.xpg
# Disable caldavd for now
launchctl unload -w /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.c alendarserver.calendarserver.plist
# move the broken database out of the way and build a new empty one
mv cluster.pg broken-cluster.pg
mkdir cluster.pg && chmod 700 cluster.pg && chown _calendar:_calendar cluster.pg
sudo -u _calendar /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/initdb "/Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/cluster.pg" -E utf8 --lc-ctype=C
# Finish the upgrade job that never completed by explicitly invoking the previous version of postgres:
sudo -u _calendar /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/pg_upgrade -b /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/postgresql9.2 -B /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin -d /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/cluster.pg.original_for_upgrade/ -D /Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/cluster.pg
# Mark the newly upgraded database as no longer in need of an upgrade
sudo -u _calendar touch cluster.pg/.NoRestoreNeeded
# Start caldavd back up
launchctl load -w /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.c alendarserver.calendarserver.plist
And everything should be the way it should have been in the first place!

Hi, I have the same issue and Linc Davis pointed me to this thread from Re: Server Calendar migration failed.
Your solution already got me somewhere, so thanks for that
I need to note that my machine is on Yosemite (10.10.1) and I'm running Server 4.
The only issue I have is that I get an error message when running pg_upgrade, the log says:

The log talks about removing the backup_label file. When I do that the log says the following:

Itunes never start up when i plug in my iPod photo 30 GB

My iTunes never start up..im usin windows XP..i tried updatin it but an error occurs:I nternal file manager error..wat does this mean?HELP..im reali frustrated..iPOd is 100% not user-friendly!!!

Will it start at all, or only without your iPod?
There is a setting in the iTunes options menu which allows you to choose whether or not you want iTunes to open when you connect your iPod. I keep mine unchecked, and start it myself after my iPod is connected.

My LaCie external hard drive connected to Time Machine for data backup drops it's connection and a error message displays tell me that I did not properly disconnect the device. This started after upgrading to OSX10.6.7.

My La Cie external hard drive drops it's connection after mounting on my iMac computer. This problem seems to have started after upgrading to OSX10.6.7. When I turn on my computer and than turn on the external hard drive the hard drive mounts to my disk top without any problem, but when I bring up Mail or Safari the hard drive drops its connection. Is there a fix for this problem? Hope someone can help.

The connection to 10.6.7 may just be a coincidence. I had a similar problem with a disk and was about to throw it out but decided to try a different USB cable. That fixed the problem and the drive is still in use.
Try a new cable if you have not already done so.

If you are not using Cellular Data, turn it off.

Random audio interruptions. I'm getting audio snippets, no more than a word or syllable, about 20 times per hour. Emanates from Mac internal speakers. Started after upgrading to OS 10.9.5. What is it? How can I stop it?

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Try rebooting your computer and then your iTunes.

ITunes won't start after upgrade--error message

When I launched iTunes after upgrading to 6.0.1, I got the following message after agreeing to the usual legal terms:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder."
Any suggestions?

Jeff,
Thank you for the reply and your suggestions.
Yes, I did take a look in the Music folder--and no, the file was not there. I then used Spotlight and did find an iTunes Music folder, but when I tried to copy it to the Music folder I got error message -36, saying that parts of the file weren't readable and, therefore, not copyable.
I also used my disk utility to repair permissions and re started the computer---with the same results.
I'm not sure what else to try and may take my computer to my local expert.
best,
als

I Tunes for WIndows wont start after upgrade to 8.0.1

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11. After upgrade, if for some reason I need to reboot my computer iTunes will not start. It took forever to finally figure out what it was. I couldn't sync my iPod, could not get on to iTunes , etc. I finally had to try to uninstall Bonjour to make it come up. The problem is that I can never fully uninstall Bonjour. It says I do not have sufficient privileges. It will be ok until I have to reboot again or turn off my computer. I then have to try to uninstall bonjour to make it come up again. Is there a fix for this bug so I don't have to go through the same procedure every time I reboot?

As far as the sufficient privileges go.
You may wish to temporarily disable User Access Control (UAC)
This should then give you permission to complete the uninstall process like you have been doing. Also ensure you are an Administrator user on the account. That right away will cause the message to appear if you are not.
You want to ensure this gets turned back on if you do not have adequate security protection such as
-Firewall Software
-Anti Virus Software
-Spyware/Adaware Software
To Turn UAC off in the easiest way possible
-Launch Control Panel
-Launch User Accounts
In this Window you will see an option called "Turn User Access Control ON/OFF" Click on this. A simple pop up window will appear. If it has a check mark in the box. Un-check it. Reboot. UAC is now off.
Windows security will notify you of this. Feel free to ignore it while you try to uninstall again. Repeat the steps above to turn it back on when you are ready.
By any chance have you tried a Basic Uninstall of Apple Software? and then Run the iTunes Setup file in Administrator Mode?
