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.

  • Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

    Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared.  Is there anything available to fix this?

    I answered the same question in a similar post.  It's all to do with the wireless sync. 
    I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
    Open task manager
    Select the 'Processes' tab.
    Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
    Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  then click on 'end process'
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • Problems waking up and connecting to internet after MAC Software updates.

    My Intel Macbook laptop use to connected to the internet automatically when I turned it on the laptop or woke it up. Now after the last MAC software upgrade this week (which included iTune, iPhoto, MAC 10.4.9 and an Airport upgrade) my PC is having problems connecting to the internet.
    It attempts to connect but can't. I end up playing with the settings in Airport internet connections – e.g turning Airport on and off, going to NETWORK -Other and reentering the Network name and wireless security passphrase. Most of the time I have to go into System Preferences – Network and play with these settings e.g. Changing Locations, playing with the network status and eventually, magically it connects and stays connected until the next time I wake up my laptop.
    The wireless Macbook laptop is connected to a DLINK Wireless Router (DI-624), using WPA-PSK security. I have tried rebooting both the laptop and the router a number of time and even redid the setting on both the router and laptop.
    Is there something else I can check/do??? Can I undo any of the MAC Software updates (thinking about the Airport one)??? I would really like to get back to connecting to the internet automatically.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, the 169.254 addy means it isn't getting a DHCP reply, so it's not connected to anything at all.
    Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show?Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network Port Configurations.
    Yes those files get recreated on reboot, (unless critical pieces of the OS are missing for it's defaults), but you don't have to trash/delete them, you can just drag them to the desktop!
    But after hearing the latest I might try...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences... the whole Prefs folder there.
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration... the whole SysConfig folder.
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
    Reboot... of course you dont have to trash them, you can just move them to the desktop to drag back if it doesn't work.

  • Apogee Jam No longer working after 1.1 update?

    My apogee jam is no longer working after updating to Garageband 1.1. I have an Ipad 2 with firmware 4.3.3.
    Specifically what happens is:
    1. I open the garageband app
    2. I select the guitar amp
    3. I plug the Jam chord into Ipad (guitar is already connected to cord)
    4. Jam light goes green, blue, bright green then green
    When Jam light goes bright green, the monitor button in garageband goes dim and doesn't work.
    I've tried plugging my guitar in first, then starting garageband, no difference in results.
    I have tried turning the monitor "on" prior to pluging in the jam, when I do this the monitor/sound gate window stays open until the Jam bright green goes on, then it disappears and the monitor button goes dim.
    Outside the garageband app, the ipad does recognize the Jam in settings, general.
    What's worse (for me...) is that I backed up the Ipad in itunes thinking that app data would also be backed up (as I read that in a description of backup). I then deleted garageband from the ipad and then restored it from itunes. Guess what, lost all my songs... Bummed out... Why wouldn't my songs be backed up???
    Anyway, any ideas on the Jam issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I am just overlooking a setting?

    Unfortunately, I don't believe that Apple keeps prior versions of Apps available at the store. GB was the first app I purchased there day one of my Ipad, incredibly worth the $, and I did actually look to see if you could go back legitimately.This is just one of the many reasons to JBreak your devices, so that you can go backward if you need to. This is a perfect example of why Apple should make prior versions available, but they think they know it all and never make mistakes, so that will never happen. Again, this is why folks take things into their own hands and why the scene exists. There are plenty of abuses, more than not IMO, but here is a perfect example of how people are screwed and can't use their Jams any longer without a JBroken device. They obviously know that this issue exists, they have employees on these forums. It will be months if ever they fix this issue, because the number of owners of Jam, although in the thousands, is small potatoes compared to the Apple owner universe. I believe it will only be fixed if Apogee is able to put enough pressure on Apple. If you see the Jam removed from the Apple store and GB site you know that Apple is choosing not to fix it, because they won't sell or promote it directly and then have to deal with complaints and returns. But even this will happen slowly...
    Actually it occurs to me that Apogee may have to redesign the Jam AGAIN in order to get it working with 1.1 on Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s (devices with the newer processor). I wonder if they will recall or replace the Jams for people who now have Jams not compatible with Garageband. Again, Apple should be posting a warning for Jam owners on the Garageband download page, but that will never happen because Apple doesn't care about small potatoes.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 After Mac Software Update

    Dreamweaver CS3 has an issue with CSS background display and
    other display issues after installing latest Mac software updates.
    Display in browser is unaffected.
    The culprit seems to be the Quicktime Version 7.6 update.
    Changes to the folder located at System \ Library \ Quicktime seem
    to cause an issue with Adobe products.
    Solution: Do not intall Quicktime 7.6 update OR after update
    replace Quicktime folder with previous version of folder from
    backups. Restart computer.

    I'm having other similar issues, where the splash window that
    launches when you first start the app just sits there for about 3-4
    minutes before dreamweaver launches. See no effect with other adobe
    apps. This started after a mac update and an adobe update of some
    other programs. FYI... I'm using CS4

  • Time capsule stopped working after installing software update, no lights and reset did nothing.  What do I do?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

  • 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.

  • Onboard Mac Lan no longer works after 1.9 update!!!

    I was using bios v1.8 and both my Mac Lan and my Giga Lan were working perfectly fine. Now that i updated to v1.9 my Mac Lan no longer works but my Giga is fine!!! 
    My Mac Lan still gets an ip address from my router, but i cannot ping the router nor anyone else on the network and my internet does not work!! So right now im using my Giga lan but i want my other one working like it was.
    I tried going BACK to v1.8 but it did not fix the problem, so i went back yet again to v1.9 and im still left with the same problem.  Ive tired disabling it and re-enabling it in both the bios and in windows and still nothing. Ive also tried re-installing the drivers and that did not work either. I even ran a Winsock Fix but that didn't fix the problem either.
    Is anyone else having this problem besides me? what can i do to fix it???

    Download new bios and extract it to a directory where you can find it (root of c:\ if you are lazy like me).  Run wminfo if you are paranoid about losing your mac address and copy it down for your nvidia adapter.
    Restart windows in safe mode.  Close every application down in task manager. 
    Run winflash as described below and CHECK ALL THE RIGHT BOXES TO UPDATE BOOTBLOCK AND TO CLEAR THY CMOS.  Read Syar's description below as that is what I used:
    Quote from: syar2003 on 30-July-05, 00:24:48
    No , floppy flash is not neccesary !
    Can use
    C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award
    winflash.exe
    Place checkmarks on bootblock/dmi area/update all/clear cmos
    During flashing you see it will verify the programming of the bios chip .
    And the good thing is unlike dos flash you can redo it if it fails , just by starting taskmanager and kill winflash.exe
    and start over (as long as the machine isn't powered down or restarted).
    I always say no after the flashing when asked to restart , exit the winflash utility , make a normal shutdown , turn off PSU for 10 seconds , then turn back
    on , enter bios and load optimized default , followed by a boot to build/update dmi pool .
    Kill all unwanted apps in the systemtray before running winflash and dont have any other applications running .
    Best way is to boot to windows safemode .

  • The iTune Dock pop-up notification no longer works since last software update.

    Previously i was using the pop-up iTunes notification, enabled by entering"defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE;killall Dock' into Terminal to activate it once only.
    Since installing the last OS software update every time i change songs in iTunes, instead of popping up and saying what song is now playing as it used to, the whole dock dissapears and reappears when i change songs instead of the pop-up appearing.
    How can i fix this?

    Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    If you see the HP PSC printer, select that then click - (minus)
    Then download and install the driverrs for your printer model and v10.9 here > Software & driver downloads HP PSC 2350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
    Then go back to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print then click + to add the printer.
    If that doesn't help, follow the instructions for Resetting the printing system

  • 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.
