ITunes not opening at all with Yosemite

Hi there,
I just updated to Yosemite (macbook Pro), and my iTunes isn't working at all, there's no error messages or anything, it just won't open.
I've tried clicking it from the applications folder, right clicking, as well as connecting my phone, but it's not opening.
Please help me,
(I updated everything on my laptop before I updated to Yosemite as well).
Thank you!

I have the same problem : I just installed Yosemite, but iTunes won't open anymore. Anyone know what the problem is?

My itunes not opening at all

My itunes is not opening at all. As a result I can not communicate with my ipod. My Windows Media Player is running well and all the other programs on my computer are fine. If I try to open it, it says 'itunes has encountered a problem and is closing'. It will not even show a fragment of the itunes page. If I try to open Quick time , it says 'an exception occured while trying to run shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL'. I have tried to uninstal itunes or re-instal it and it refuse after going 70% of the way. Also Quick Time refuses to unistal.
Yours
Hope

hmmm...i see a few potential problems. First, Try downloading the Quicktime standalone player and prior to do this, TURN OFF your Antivirus and Spyware programs. Find the Quicktime Standalone player here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
If this just randomly happened one day where iTunes would not just open up, its very possible your PC has been infested by the Qoologic adware program that causes this errorless crash of iTunes. There is a free program that has been catching it. Find it here: http://www.ewido.net/en/
Post back with your progress.

ITunes not opening at all

I don't know why, but iTunes will not open at all. When I click on the icon in the dock, it will bounce for a few seconds and then an error message will pop up saying that iTunes quit unexpectedly.
Why is this happening? I restarted several times but I'm still getting the same thing. Please help!

Final Cut Pro X not opening some bundles with Yosemite

FCPX starts up, some bundles will open but not load media, others will not open at all, just spinning beach ball, have to force quit! Anyone else seeing this? I'm running latest of everything. Thank goodness I did a SuperDuper backup last night so I can use my clone.

Downloaded Latest Itunes but now it does not open at all, with no error msg

I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for my Laptop. I have recently moved my internet to my laptop so i have been updating software for the past two days.
However, when the download of Itunes is finish i can not open it. There is no error message at all, it just does not open, it just begins to load with the 'hourglass' waiting symbol and then stops. I can't open it at all.
I am runnin on Windows XP and had no previous trouble with the older version of iTunes. I am now regretting that i even updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claudia.

I had exactl the same problem, it drove me crazy for about one week. Actually both 7.1.1 and any 6.x version didn't want to install on my PC.
7.1.1 just downloaded ok and than after running it terminated with no message and no action.
I tried almost everything: from manually removing all WinXP Registry entries to checking the entrire Win installation.
I also tried to download itunes from a different PC, but again same result.
Finally, I gave it a try to download iTunes from a different web site and... everything worked flawlessy!!
The only conclusion I came to is a possible issue between my network/firewall/ISP settings and Apple download services.. very hard to justify in real world but I can't think of anything else.
So my advice is to look for another web site hosting iTunes for donwload and give it a try!
Good luck

Quicktime 10.4 does not open at all in yosemite

thx

Some aspects of you problem remain unclear. Are you saying that no "player window" opens, no "navigation window" opens, or the app itself does not open in the "Menu Bar" at all? Further, is the problem manifest itself globally or only in one user account? Nor is it clear if you are referring to the QT Player icon always being displayed in the dock or simply when/if the app is opened.
For instance, it is normal for a player window not to appear if no source media file was selected/opened via the finder. On the other hand, the failure of a navigation window or the app itself to open may indicate a system, app, or PLIST file (if still used) corruption problem. In the latter case, I would normally recommend switching to a secondary or guest user account to see if the problem is global or local to your primary account. If local, then you could either isolate/fix the local issue and fix it (e.g., locating and deleting an associated PLIST file if still used); create a new "primary" account, transfer required resources from the old to the new user account, and then delete the problem account; or simply re-install the entire system.
Unfortunately, under the latest version of Yosemite, the QT X Player is considered "essential" and the system, under normal circumstances, will not allow you to remove or delete the app any longer—probably because users in the past deleted the player on purpose or by accident on a wholesale basis and Apple does not provide downloads of the QT X Player independent of the operating systems with which they are associated forcing novice users to re-install their entire system or forcing more experienced users to re-extract the compatible player software for re-installation. Unfortunately, while it is still possible to re-extract the QT v10.4 Player from the installer package, the same system routines that prevent you from removing/deleting the player also prevent you from copying/replacing the current plater in the "Applications" folder.
Basically, what you should/can do depends on the specific nature of your problem and how well versed you are with the system.

Itunes not opening at all help

Recently I upgraded to a full edition of windows 7. My friend suggested that I do a fresh install so I partitioned part of my hard drive off to a separate drive so that I could install my new OS. My Itunes as well as all of my music is sitting over on the other drive. When I tried to pull Itunes over onto my new drive It gives me an error stating that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I reinstall itunes to get it to work properly. The only problem is I do not want to lose my entire song list. I have many songs that I have gotten (all legally) through places like amazon.com and I am afaid that i will lose all of my songs if I reinstall Itunes.
I have them all on my Ipod but I do not know a way for you to take your itunes songs from your Ipod to your computer. I understand that this is to prevent piracy and can even respect that but consider I obtained all of this music through legal means it really makes it a pain for me. On top of that there are a coupld songs that were given to me by a friend of mine who is in a band that can simply not be replaced if I have to start all over again.
Someone please help me. Thanks!

You can try a 3rd-party ipod manager. Make sure to get one that supports your model ipod. Here is a page to start your research:

"A Fix For iTUNES Not Opening"

Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the simple fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. I’m using ZoneAlarm Suite Edition, but it also works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.

Just A Correction. In The Line ....The first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again)...
Instead of "Click Yes" its supposed to be "Click Allow".

my question is: how can i make itues store to work? how can i go back to the previous version of ios?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

Itunes will not open at all

hey guys,
ever since I've reinstalled my pc with windows xp pro sp3, my itunes will not open at all.
every time i click on itunes.exe it does not do anything. It does give me the hourglass icon as if my pc is working on it. but then it disappears without any itunes response.
to fix this issue, I have tried any possible method that i could find on the internet. even called the support center but they were not able to help me either.
I have tried to reinstall itunes *(no effect)*
did something with the cryptographic something in the administrative tools menu *(no effect)*
I have deleted the itunes installer cache *(no effect)*
I installed any older versions,( btw 7 does not work either)but after updating it *(no effect)*
itunes 6 does work; but since i have an iphone it is completely useless for me. so *(no effect)*
the strange thing is that itunes.exe does appear in the "processes" tab in task manager, but it does not show in the "applications" tab.
and every time I shut down my pc, I get the windows message that itunes is shutting down.
If you have any other suggestions, please be so kind help me.
this is driving me nuts. It's been going on for two months now.
Kind regards,
Bart

I am not sure if I have this right from all those posts.
When you try to start iTunes, there is no error message and you can see iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab of the task manager.
If that is your probelm it is commonly do to a problem with cryptographic services.
Before looking into that there is a quick thing to try:

If that's not it, work carefully through *method 4* in the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
Make a careful note of any error messages you get, this is important. post back the names of any dlls mentioned in error messages.
If you don't get any error messages try starting iTunes.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes. You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update. I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.
