ITunes opens but does not launch

iTunes will open on the menu bar, but that's as far as it goes. No error msgs. When I use the remote I can access my iTunes and its contents. I re-downloaded the updated version 8.0.1, clicked on it, and again just the menu bar opened. What am I missing? Thanks

ITunes opens but does not appear on desktop?

When I open iTunes by dbl clk on the icon, the graphic equalizer pops up on the screen, and if I right click the icon, it will play recent music from that menu. But...iiTunes does not show up on my screen. I hear the music (garbled) but cannot find iTunes. I have the 11.1.5 version and 10.9.2 OSX on a iMac24. It may be coincidental but, it showed up fine til I recently went to Mavericks. What should I look for to solve this?

Hello tscacro
Start with going to the drop down menu, Window > iTunes to see if it pops up the iTunes window so you can view your music again. If that does not work, then download and reinstall iTunes.

Application bounces in dock but does not launch

When I double-click on a FileMaker file, it used to automatically launch FileMaker Pro 8 Advanced until about a week ago. Now, when I double-click on a FileMaker file, the applcation icon bounces for a fraction of a second in the Dock but does not launch.
If I drag the file to the application, then FileMaker launches.
Other applications are not exhibiting this odd behavior.
How can I fixt it?
G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.2)

remove (drag out) the filemaker icon from the dock, open finder and locate the filemaker application and drag it back to dock.
If this does not help, the console messages mentioned before might help us more.

Bought Ringtone on iTunes store but does not show up as a ringtone.

Bought Ringtone on iTunes store but does not show up as a ringtone.
It shows up as a song in my library. But so not know how to move it over.

Carolyn Samit, the AMDS not running would results in iTunes not seeing the iPod.

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

After recent upgrade Mozilla will open but does not connect - I have Norton Antivirus.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

After upgrading to iTunes 11 application does not launch and is disrupting other programs

Hello!
I have trying to solve this problem all day:
After updating to iTunes 11 this morning, the application does not launch.
Furthermore, Windows Media Player, Win DVD8 and my Email Program fail to launch as well.
I have been through all support pages on iTunes, on support pages on the Windows 7 Forum, and I
read the answers given in the discussion.
I have tried and applied the solutions given, but none of them worked.
What happenes is iTunes tries to launch for a second, then stops, but the process keeps running
in the task manager.
All methods through MSCONFIG failed. Uninstalling and re-installing (in the correct order) iTunes, related
programs and QuickTime failed as well.
I am on a Windows 7 Home Premium 65 bit desktop computer.
Up until the update this morning everything was running fine.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you very much in advance.

Solved it.
I had a program running in the background, which did not get picked up by MSCONFIG.
I looked at the services on CCCleaner and there they were, many instances of this program, slowing the
computer down and preventing other programs (including iTunes) from functioning.
Turned them all off, and iTunes and all other pgms work again.

Double click on jar file but does not launch

My PC has windows7 operating system
The jar file was working fine, everytime I double click it would launch, no problems
Somehow the .jar file association was changed to open with winrar so now when I double click it does not launch and run like before, winrar opens it
How can I change the file association back to java?

Premier Elements 11 installed but does not launch

I installed premier elements 11, the installation did not have any problems, but when I click on the icon nothing happens. It does not give an error message, is does not try to do anything, it simply does not launch. I uninstall, turn off the norton software, did a clean boot to prevent other services to load, re-installed the software and the problem continues.
I have window 7 64 bits 8 gb memory, more than enough disk space. What else can be wrong that is preventing the application from launching?

Hi,
Could you please try the following solutions and see if any of these work:
1. Navigate to 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' located inside:
 Win x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
 Win x32: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
 Right click on 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' and select 'Run as Admin'
2. Just after this keep on pressing 'Ctrl+Alt+Shift' on Windows (or Command+Option+Shift on Mac). You will get a popup asking to delete Elements settings file. Click Yes.
If the above does not work, please try the following:
3. Please rename SLCache folder present at location "<root drive:>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache"
Also please rename opm.db on your machine to resolve this issue @ <root drive>\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Now re-launch the application.
4. In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
5. Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
If none of these work, please let me know.

My MacBook pro turns on, shows my background, but does not launch finder. Help please.

When I turn on my MacBook Pro (2006, 15"), the background image shows up, but the finder does not launch. After about 10 minutes, my task bar will appear on the bottom of the screen, but the finder bar does not appear. The spinning wheel appears and will not go away. I have attempted rebooting a few times, and each time the result is the same.
Suggestions?

The folder with a question marks is usually an idication that the Mac can't find the system file to boot from.
Since you never told us which system your Mac was running there is nothing more to say.

My iPod Nano 7 was unplugged improperly, iTunes detects but does not identify help?

My iPod Nano 7th generation was unplugged improperly and now I seem to have a whole host of problems. Itunes detects it but does not identify it - sometimes (also post- improper unplug) it would be identified by iTunes, but it wouldn't sync properly. The computer would scan and fix the ipod every time I plugged it in, but never found any problems. Also, every time I plug it in I get a warning window that the device could work faster if I plugged it into a 2.0 USB port, which I have checked that my computer has, updated all of the "enhanced USB ports" and I've checked the Apple port and it's fine. I have also tried all of the USB ports I have, the warning window pops up for all of them. I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, restarted my computer and my ipod numerous times. Sometimes I get a warning window about missing files on my iPod, but I don't know how to fix that issue.
Any suggestions??? THANKS!!!

Good thing because no one is anwering anything on this

Everytime i try to open my itunes, nothing appears on the screen. It says that my itunes is already open but there is nothing on my screen or on my taskbar that relates to itunes.
some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

ITunes downloaded, but does not open-Windows does not support Mac script

I have recently bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have managed to download iTunes, but I cannot open it. The computer posts a message saying that it does not support Mac script. I suppose that I need additional software (daemon tools?)? I would be grateful if someone could advise me in relation to this issue.
Toshiba Satellite Windows Vista

No, you should need nothing additional. I suspect you may have tried to download the Mac compatible version of iTunes & that's why your getting this message. Make sure you have checked the Windows version & nothe Mac version on the download page.

I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
close the program down.
Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
as I am not able to record my movie.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards.
Janice
