ITunes on OS X 10.5.8 stopped working. e.g. no highlighted items in menus!

I can't even check which version of iTunes I have.
I tried reloading iTunes 10.6.3, but no change.
How do I fix this?

The last compatible build is  iTunes 10.6.3. Suggest reinstalling from there.
You could test the theory regarding a problem with the library by creating a new one as a test: HT1589 - iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

  • When I click on my desktop itunes icon it tells me it's  stopped working..help?

    Help please.  I have windows Vista.  Never had a problem until last week.  When I click on itunes icon on desktop I get a message that it has stopped working.  I have tried to downoad several times ...nothing seems to work.  How can I get my itunes back?

    When I click on itunes icon on desktop I get a message that it has stopped working.
    Your Vista will have been recording some information about those ones.
    Go into your Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel, click on the Problem History, and look for iTunes problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the iTunes problem reports and have a look through them. Do they all say pretty much the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

  • ITunes has encountered an error and has stopped working.

    Please help.  I have had trouble with opening iTunes for several months.  When it opens, it starts to load the library and then I get a error message that "iTunes has stopped working".  It then closes the program without any chance troubleshoot further.  I have removed / reloaded iTunes, and Quicktime.  I also went through the advise given on the Apple website.  I did create another user and identified that it is a user based issue.  I went through the 5 steps, but I am still haveing the same problem and cannot seem to use iTunes without this error.  I checked into the problem history and this is what I was given.  Can somebody help with a solution?

  • Ebay alerts stopped working (cha-ching for sold item)

    My ebay alerts (bid alerts and the cha-ching when an item sells) has stopped working, Ive tried down loading all the updates etc but still no joy,
    Ive also checked all the settings but still nothing!
    Help??

    If you have an Apple Store (or a Premium re-seller) near you, you can take it in for examination.   Whether there will be a charge for that, I don't know.  
    Best line of approach would be to ask for a formal quotation to repair the item.   As it is out of warranty, any repair work would be chargeable but asking for the quote will avoid someone just doing the work ... and presenting you with an unacceptable bill.

  • ITunes 7.7 - Error Message: AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working

    Can anyone help with the above problem. I installed 7.7 two days ago and now cannot stop these error messages from popping up.
    I can play iTunes, but the whole time it is running this message pops up repeatedly. So far I have let it get to about nine messages and then I have closed it down.
    I have tried reinstalling, repairing and removing iTunes, but when I reinstalled, the problem came back.
    I'd be very grateful for any help with this.
    Many thanks.

    With that one, see the following announcement:

  • While updating to IOS5.0.1, the itunes did not recognize the IPAD and stopped working

    I was updating my IPAD, after backing the IPAD content, the iTune wrote a message "Preparing IPAD for update" and stuck for a while and I got
    a message on my computer USB device not recognized and stuck. I tried many time on different computer with different genuine Apple cables
    but failed. And I got this picture above. Is there a solution, and I read couple of similar complaints?

    I did not get any reply but I am working on the problem, so this may help, so read this first:
    Go to Device Manager and you have a listing of all your hardware components
    Plug in your iPhone. Now you will see 2 listings that say something like "Apple Recovery" Mode in YELLOW, right-click, then click "uninstall", you need to do this to both, they should disappear now.
    Next, you will expand the "Universal Serial Bus Adapters" at the bottom, which will give you a long listing, and look for the USB related devices. Look for "USB Composite Device" in this listing.
    This is the tricky part because everybody is going to have different hardware from different manufacturers and the listing is going to be called something different but if you can figure out which are your USB ports then you are in business!
    You will see 2 "USB Composite Device" choose the first one and right-click the "USB Composite Device" and click "Update Driver" Choose " Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next on the next screen choose "Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install" and click Next and you will see 2 drivers listed and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) "and install. If you don't see 2 drivers listed then CANCEL and choose the second "USB Composite Device" and follow the above instructions and choose "Apple Mobilde Device (iboot driver) " to install. It should work now perfectly.
    Let me know if it works for you. Thanks!;)
    But I found the iboot driver,you get it like that:
    Select the USB Composite device and update the driver manually, use the "Have Disk" Button and browse to the \Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers, and select the iboot version
    It worked and IPAD is connected
    I am still working on it wish me luck

  • Itunes 11.1.4 stops working on Windows 7 (64b)

    iTunes opens OK & operates normally  for a period of time (usally around an hour or so) & then an error message comes up that itunes has stopped working & must be closed down. My system is Windows 7 (64 bit) & this close down happens every time. Even if I am not using itunes at the time it still just stops working after sometime. It is most annoying and has only started happenuing since upgrade to itunes 11.1.4. What is going on?

    Thanks for your help. Started itunes in safe mode and it still closed down after approx an hour. There are no add-ons or plug-ins installed. I had previously checked the safe mode and also uninstalled all apple software in the order that one of the help pages indicated. Then redownloaded and installed itunes - made no difference.
    After opening itunes it works fine with no problems - what baffles me is that it then stops working even if the software is not active at the time.

  • Itunes comes up with error message on opening "itunes has stopped working..

    Help
    i have installed itunes onto my vista laptop and it stops working when opened, it comes up with an error message "itunes has stopped working microft is checking for a solution" and then closed itunes. I have followed apples advise and unistalled and installed it a few times, removed all unecessary files etc etc.

    "itunes has stopped working microft is checking for a solution"
    Fingers crossed, your Vista problem history may give us more information on what is going on.
    Go into your Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel, click on the Problem History, and look for iTunes problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the problem reports. Do they all say the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here.

  • Itunes stops working right after launch

    As of yesterday, when i open itunes , a few seconds after opening it stops working and shuts off
    I cant do anything to fix I have tried uninstall and reinstall, restroe points, and previous versions,
    nothing has worked, please help

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Itunes 10.7 - Internet Explorer stops working

    When I download itunes 10.7 my Internet Explorer 9 stops working and I can't get itunes 10.7; how do I fix this?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Hi mickeyjeane,
    When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provides the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsor iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Upgraded itunes now my dvd drive has stopped working

    I recently updated itunes and now my dvd driver has stopped working. My computer won't even recognize my dvd drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and uninstalled itunes several times. I've tried system restore. I've even looked for an older version of itunes and no luck. I took it into Fry's electronics and they fixed it but when I hooked up my ipod it stopped working again. I don't know what to do. This is really frustrating and I am just tired of itunes messing with stuff and constatly crating new versions. I've read other threads and have tried some of the suggestions with the registration which didn't work.
    Can you please help me.

    You might get more help if you post your question in the correct forum.
    This is the 'iTunes for Mac' forum and I can see from your post that you actually have a PC.
