ITunes not starting up after Yosemite update

Hi Community,
Just updated my MacBook (13", Aluminum, late 2008) to Yosemite.
Having done this iTunes is not starting up any more. Also downloading and a second time updating iTunes 12.01.26 didn't help.
Can anyone help me with this ?

ok THANKS so much!!
it now works!!
First I removed iTunes.app from my system using these instructions: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/
Next I opened the App Store and it showed me iTunes under "Updates".
I reinstalled iTunes via the App Store and now I can launch iTunes as expected.
Because I didn't delete the iTunes folder inside my user's folder, all my content remained.
thanks to you :

MacBook Pro Mid 2012 not starting up after Yosemite Update

I'm using a MacBook Pro mid 2012 model , enrolled into Yosemite Public Beta Program ...
After the official public launch , app store suggested that i rather update from beta 5 to beta 6 , as downloading extra 5 gig of OS data seemed unnecessary for me , I just updated from the app store.
Post the update , after shutting down my MacBook , I tried starting it up after 8 hours , it failed to respond to any of my prompts .
Keyboard not responding
Power Button not responding
Li-Po Battery indicator alone works ,
When plugged MagSafe , it indicates charging .
The Sleep Indicator (in the front - that of hard disk drive ) blinks occasionally.
Later, when i tried powering up with MagSafe , It booted luckily , after some 20 hours of work , i shut the system down ,
Again when i tried booting up , it failed .
The problem persists since 3 days.
I tried booting up in Safe Mode - No result
Tried Verbose Booting up - No result
Cleared NV RAM - No result
Cleared SMC as Apple instructed for Intel Based MacBooks - No result.
Removed Battery and kept aside for a while , After an hour tried powering up , It booted up , Went till Apple Logo , The loading bar was some 45%
Then it started to go down with a black screen ,
It never starts up again.
After regular intervals of removing and installing battery , it starts up to white screen and goes off.
I am really worried and desperate now.
I am not sure whether my HDD is dead or my Battery is dead or my Logic board is dead or my Yosemite Install was not right ?
After hours of online research , nothing seems to be helpful .
People at Apple Care (Premium ReSeller , India) are so irresponsible in attending the issue ,
They say its helpless without even doing some basic troubleshoot.
Where would it have went wrong and What am i supposed to do now ?
PLEASE HELP !!

darkrider92,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as the one that you got from your mom. Were you able to install the 10.6.8 update successfully onto the factory drive? Were you using the factory RAM when you tried to install the 10.6.8 update on the SSD?
Have you checked the Web site of the SSD’s manufacturer, to see if there’s a firmware update available for the SSD?
You can download the 10.6.8 update outside of Software Update from Apple here; in case you need to try to install this update several times, running it from your local disk would be more convenient than waiting for it to download again.

I have the exact same issue. Have you had any luck with a solution?

VirtualBox does not start correctly after kernel update

Just recently I have been unable to start VirtualBox after a kernel update. That is to say it seems to be running, but displays nothing.
The following processes are listed: VirtualBox, VBoxSVC, VBoxSVC, VBoxXPCOMPCD
The following modules are loaded: vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp
Yesterday, when the same thing happened, I reinstalled VirtualBox and it worked correctly again.
I recently upgraded to systemd which has caused me some other problems, so that might have something to do with it
Cheers

Satellite A series does not start up after BIOS update

After bios update with downloaded utility my notebook does not start up.
Did this case covered by warranty?

Im not quite sure if this would be covered by warranty. You should contact the ASP in your country for details but I presume its not covered.
PS: Did you try this workaround:
- remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
- wait ~ 40min
- connect both devices again and try to power up the notebook

ITunes not starting up after update, errors showing

I have tried every single step with uninstalling, then reinstalling the program. As well as removing a previous issue that has happened before to no avail.
Can this issue be fixed with the updates?
I'm on Windows XP without a iPod Touch

X does not start automatically after xorg update (1.16)

Hello,
Yesterday after a system update and a reboot, my screen stayed desperatly black. Then I logged in to a console as root and started X by doing:
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
systemctl isolate graphical.target
This means root can start X. So I created the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config:
allowed_users = anybody
needs_root_rights = yes
but no change. I'm using the Intel GPU (xf86-video-intel driver).
Any idea?

Help! Trackpad gestures are not working properly after Yosemite update

So yesterday I updated my MBA to Yosemite. And since then I'm facing severe problems with my trackpad. Scroll and click gesture works as usual, but the other gestures suddenly stops working. I even checked my trackpad settings, but couldn't find any setting issues there. They won't just respond to any. Is it just me or everyone is facing such issues.

worse than that, my MacBook Pro FREEZES when using 4 finger swipe on the built-in trackpad for App Expose after upgrade to 10.10.1
Before 10.10.1 everything was working fine. Now, about one third of the time I use the 4 finger swipe the computer is dead (apparently mostly when using Numbers). I can still use the mouse but no response to clicks, keyboard, trackpad, or screaming out loud. All I can do is turn it off!
This (in combination with Mail issues) is so bad that for the first time since using Mac I start thinking going back to PC...

Mac will not START UP after software update. Help?

I just updated my 24" iMac to Snow Leopard and also put on the new iLife package. Everything was working fine, Then i tried to get onto the internet using my Bigpond wifi (usb stick) the software started fine and connected to the internet, but in safari no web page would load. so i clicked on the update software/firmware option for the bigpond wifi usb stick and after several minutes realised everything had frozen. nothing would respond.i held the power button down, it shut down. Now it will not power up. just sitting at the first white screen with the apple and rotating line dial. I have tried all of the stup options recommended iner manual and removed/replaced te ram. still no fix.. Can someone please help?

Try starting the Mac with the original DVD that came with the computer, then run disk utility and repair the hard drive also repair permissions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782

My iMac not starting/logging after yosemite upgrade

Hi,
In addition to Linc's suggestion can you check the Apple Icon Menu top left and the "About this Mac" pane ?
In the Overview tab the last thing in the list of items is the Mac's Serial number.
Does this show up for you ?
You do not have to post the Number and if you use a Pic alter it to be unreadable in a Graphics app first.

Itunes not working after Yosemite update

Hi folks, as for title.
I updated this morning to Yosemite OS X and everything was nice and dandy until I tried starting iTunes clicking on the icon in the dock..
Big surprise, nothing happens. Tried the usual stuff, permission repair, look into logs, re-install a fresh download all to no aval.
Clicking on the app doesn't get even a blip however, browsing into the .app bundle and clicking directly on the binary works.
Could anybody shed some light here?
Thanks and regards
/P

I found another thread on the same that didn't appear when I first searched the forum.

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.
