ITunes no longer runs after 10.5.6 update

My PPC Mac Mini was running fine up until 2 days ago. Then I ran the latest 10.5.6 update and now iTunes freezes when I start it. It doesn't even get to the point where the iTunes menus display. Right clicking shows "Application not responding". I try to Force Quit with no luck. I have to power down to get it to stop.
I've repaired the permissions with no success.
Suggestions?

------ Suggestions? ------------
check by doing a spotlight search to see if you have more than one iTunes.app's (an archive and restore creates multiple versions of all kinds of software), and sometimes the update updates the correct iTunes.app... yet you'll be running an older version...
also, back up all your data that you have, make sure it is backed up... and that it is good data and you have everything, then do an install from your original leopard Disk, then download the "combo" update of 10.5.6... and apply that on top...
(also you could do a clean install, by wiping your disk first, but you must make sure your backup has everything, and is good data)....
if itunes still doesn't work... then take out your iTunes library to the side, and slowly add pieces back in to the proper place. (this will determine if you have corrupted data in your library)
and one more thing, if your old computer is working the way you want, NEVER install an Apple security update, or even a regular update... Old hardware likes Old OS's and apps.
If your App is working the way you want it to, never install app updates either.
if none of the above worked, then install from your original disks, then a combo updater to the version that you had before 10.5.6... and then be happy that an old machine could atleast run that version.

ITunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update

iTunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update - I have attempted an un/reinstall - can anyone offer other suggestions?
I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and am trying to reinstall the 64-bit iTunes from the iTunes website. I previously have had this working for the last few years with no major issues, the Apple Software Updater has been pestering me for some time so I finally got it to update. However now iTunes will not start, if I select the icons nothing happens. There are no iTunes applications running in the background in Task Manager either.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks,
James.

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Files

3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

Itunes won't run after download

itunes won't run after download. simply asks to acknowledge agreement which I did. help

You appear to be able to backup your contacts without iTunes. Google "backup iphone contacts without itunes".
The way to avoid having to get a tech person in is to get past the idea that your problem (which you still haven't defined) is "beyond my ability to fix". ;-)

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

Restarted router(s) and it works again.

Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks very much
Wolfgang

I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

ITunes no longer works after Mac software update

I have allowed my Mac to update its software today. Ever since it completed the update, iTunes won't run. It is the latest version (also downloaded today), but a message pops up stating that 'you cannot use iTunes with this version of Mac OS X'... What's up with that?

Dropping the bandwidth in iChat to 500 kbps and changing the QuickTime Streaming settings to no more than 1.5Mbps... seems to work. So far testing with my company this morning, my iChat video has not frozen up after about a 5 minute test.
The video quality is not as good as in the past, but at least it is working so far. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon, but THANK YOU for this temporary solution. Work is possible again.

Itunes is not running after update

why itunes doesn't work properly after update? when i tried to open it some error has occured and no possibilty to run the program.
can you help me please?
thx in advance.

Try playing tracks in Quicktime. iTunes requires Quicktime and won't work if Quicktime doesn’t.
If Quicktime doesn't work, try uninstalling it using the following method, but just do the Quicktime bits
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Then download and install the sand alone Quicktime, option 2 here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
If Quicktime is OK try working through This article on launch problems:

Also see this if iTunes won't open after an upgrade but shows in task manager:

ITunes no longer shares after OSX Lion update

I bought an apple TV about a month ago, plugged it in and it all worked fine. Then today after I did an update, and a rest of my Mac Mini iTunes sharing stoped working.
First it defaulted to sharing off (Which is pretty annoying), then I turned it on, but still my iPhone and apple TV could not load access the media server!
I have reset the apple TV, the wireless router, and my mini, but still sharing does not work!
Help! What did that patch do, its killed my home network! (All internet access etc is still going just no iTunes sharing)
Any help appresiated

PROBLEM SOLVED:
After a bit more research I found this article leading me to a software download/update:

Update was called "WQ Quickview installer"

ITunes no longer works after installing IOS7

iTunes does not work after installing iOS 7

Try switching the "Block cookies" setting in Safari from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers" and then reboot. This worked for me without having to reload iOS7 or reset all settings. Good luck.

ITunes no longer loads after updating to Windows 8.1. I have tried every corrective step I've found on the web (reinstall, copy files, change permissions, etc.) nothing helps. Has anyone heard if Apple is working on fix?

Itunes does not launch after updating to Windows 8.1. I've tried every suggestion I can find on web (reinstall, copy files from other directories, change permissions, etc.). Nothing works. At best I can get the licensing agreement to show and then nothing. Has anyone heard if a fix is in the works?

Hi 3backpacker3,
It sounds like you are on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are having launch issues, you may find the following article helpful:

CS4 no longer works after installing CS6 manager update

Is Adobe targeting older versions of the software with the new manager?
Some of my plug-ins only work in the older versions of the software and I use a triple boot system with separate drives for Windows XP, Vista and W8. They each have CS3, CS4 and CS6 (I missed out on W7 and CS5).
After I updated CS6 to the latest version of the download manager CS4 no longer runs. I discovered today that it will if I am online. I am running a legal copy of the CS4 Master collection and has been running with no problem for years. I have a back up of the drive and used it to replace the whole drive in case there was an error somewhere, something I have had to do every six moths or so. That did not solve the problem. The licence allowed two copies and I do have it on a second machine at home and that still works. That machine does not have the recent CS6 update yet.
The original licence agreement for CS4 didn't require you to be online. My broadband connection is intermittent because I live in a rather remote place. It has been down for a few days and I could not work even in CS4.

Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

Hi,
Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
SplashID
Daily Devo
Daily Light (Love)
Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others. I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password. I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
EDIT: Never mind. It appears that it only did that on the first launch. I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.

ITunes no longer working after Song Upgrade.

I got onto iTunes store, was offered to upgrade 32 of my songs, I said "Yes". After the upgrading completed, iTunes main window pane no longer worked for anything but the iTunes store. It will play my music if I manually select it from the disk (via Finder) but does not seem to be able to display any of my playlists or my music library.
I am running Safari 3.0 (as an FYI).
Mac OS X 10.4.9 (on an intel mini).

Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling, or repairing the current copy of iTunes alone doesn't fix the problem....
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
