ITunes program closes immediately after opening.

Don't know if anyone is able to help, but I have downloaded the latest iTunes program and now everytime I open the program it immediately closes. It is too fast in closing to click on anything within the program. I contacted Technical support who told me to uninstall and reinstall, which I did, but that hasn't solved the problem. Is it a problem unique to me, or a problem with the program. Any ideas on how to solve it?

Thanks for the reply to my message, I really appreciate the time that you have taken to assist.
I have checked Quicktime and that appears to be working normally.
I have checked Task Manager Processes tab while starting iTunes and iTunes.exe appears as the program is opening, but disappears when the program closes.
I have run a full system scan, and apart from a 'tracking cookie' that I fixed, the system is clean.
I then went to the link that you suggested and started to 'troubleshoot'. I initially created a New User Account, and was able to determine that the problem DID NOT occur in the new account. As such, I went to 'User-Specific Troubleshooting'.
I deleted the SC Info.sidb file as directed with no change to the problem. I also removed 'iTunes Plug-ins' as directed with no luck in fixing the problem, as well I removed 'iTunes preference files' with no luck either.
I am unable to 'Recreate my iTunes Library', or 'Check for content files with issues' as directed in the next step as the iTunes program problem that I have only has the program opening for one second before closing.
Again, I really am thankful for your reply, and any other assistance or advice you are able to provide to help fix the problem would also be greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes stops responding immediately after opening

    My iTunes stops responding immediately after opening and even force-quit doesn't do.
    Baically it freezes between pressing it and opening the window. In my large library, I can see that it loads it and then nothing more. The menu appears and then the wheel. Force quitting doesn't shut the program, no matter how I do it. It leaves the arrow and the only way is to restart the computer and start again.
    I tried using another account, and it does the same. I tried with a new library. I tried with new prefs folder both on the user and on the Mac HD. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I even tried reinstalling the whole OS X - but nothing. The only thing is that after zapping PRAM it might work once or twice, but no more.
    This is with iTunes 7.0.2, QuickTime 7.1.3 and OS 10.4.8
    I don't know what else to do.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem. It started recently - maybe about two weeks ago - and occasionally when I launch iTunes it just freezes. I can't force quit it completely - it still shows in the Dock as though it's running, though it's not present in Activity Monitor.
    Curiously, I've also had a couple of kernel panics when clicking iTunes buttons in the past week. I don't recall any system update that might have affected either iTunes or QuickTime, so I'm stumped... The only way to get iTunes back is to log out or restart.

  • TS1717 iTunes shuts down immediately after opening (Windows 7)

    I'm having trouble with iTunes shutting down immediately after opening. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and QuickTime, but I'm still having the same problem. Any suggestions? I have a 64 bit version of Windows 7, and the iTunes installer file has "64" in the name, so I think it's a 64 bit version as well.

    Do you get an error message when iTunes shuts down? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Why do apps close immediately after opening?

    I updated to iOS 4.3.3 on my iPad, now my apps close immediately after I open them.
    Built-in apps are OK, but all my added apps no longer run!
    Help!
    I have rebooted using the sleep button held down for 10 seconds.   No joy.
    Now, I was advised to hold down sleep button and home circle button at same time and disregard the red bar... this reboots to Apple circle, but still apps close really fast after I try to open them.
    This actually started several hours after my update, not right away, but that is all that changed.
    Very frustrating!

    Jeanne ... You answered my post in a totally different thread but I did read it. If the problem is in the OS, why do the built in Apple apps not cause the iPad to crash? That reasoning makes no sense to me. Did you try closing all of the apps like I suggested and then restart?
    Another way to approach this is to remove all of the apps from your iPad. Do this by removing them when you sync. Simply uncheck all of the non Apple apps and sync. Then - one or two apps at a time- add them back on to the iPad by resyncing. Use those one or two apps and see if they crash. If they don't crash, add one or two more apps and try those. Keep repeating the process until the iPad starts to crash again. You should be able to narrow down which app is causing the problem.
    Are you sure that all of these apps are compatible with 4.3.3. as well? Check in the app store and make sure that they are.

  • Newly installed PS CS6 closes immediately after opening?

    I just installed the adobe cs6 creative suite yesterday or the day before, but today was the first time I tried to launch PS. Each successive time that I've tried, I have gotten these two messages immediately after the program finishes loading:
    I can't go to the preferences panel to attempt to fix the problem addressed in the first dialogue because PS will not stay open long enough to allow me to do so. I also googled the issue and the majority of people seemed to say that holding down ctrl+alt+shift as the program loaded would present me with a dialogue that would fix the problem, but when I tried it nothing happened.
    Google searches also prompted that I search for and delete a settings .psp file, but I couldn't find that, either.

    Hi,
    Is this a laptop? Which make and model?
    You might want to try grabbing the latest drivers from here: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/graphics/cp2-hd3000
    or here:
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=%22Intel+Core+Processor s+with+Intel+HD+Graphics%22#
    One other thing you might try before going to IT (but you'll still want to look at getting the most recent drivers possible) is to disable a utility, temporarily. Go to the Ps application directory, and look for sniffer_gpu.exe. Rename it with a tilde "~" at the front. Now try launching Ps. My sense is you're crashing before that ever comes into play, but I could be wrong. Make sure to rename it back to "sniffer_gpu.exe", if nothing changes.
    regards,
    steve

  • Internet Apps on iPad Close immediately after opening?

    After opening a internet related application on iPad 2 , Banking, FaceTime, Words for Friends, Netflik etc.  The app closes suddenly.  Everytime?

  • Why do apps close immediately after opening in my iMac?

    I work with imac. I have a problem when I open software standard  like appstore or preview, these apps open and close immediately.help???

    You probably ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • IPhone apps close immediately after opening

    I have tried :
    - iPhone reboot (several times)
    - install a new app through iTunes (several times)
    - deauthorize and reauthorize the computer (several times)
    - uninstall all apps and reinstall
    - reset all iPhone settings
    - iPhone restore
    - scour all discussion threads for solutions
    to no avail. This all started after weeks of needing to reauthorize the computer every sync, then halfway syncing when I was away from an internet connection. I stopped it in attempt to not lose all of the apps, and it didn't delete the apps, but then they would close just after launch. Any more ideas? Thanks.

    I used to have the same problem. the iPhone was acting weird so I tried to reboot it but it didn't work so I forced-rebooted it (holding Power and Home simultaneously) and since then all the apps that didn't came with iPhone fail to launch (you see the first screen for half a sec then you're back to the home screen).
    It disappeared when I synced it with iTunes.

  • Why does iTunes shut down IMMEDIATELY after opening?

    I'm running the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7 Home Premium.  Immediately upon opening iTunes (5-10 seconds later) it shuts down and I get an error message that says "iTunes has stopped working."  That's it.  No explanation.  The computer is 2 years old and I've never had this problem before.  It started last week (when I was running a previous version of iTunes), so today I thought I'd upgrade to the latest iTunes and it would solve the problem.  No such luck.
    Any help?  PLEASE...

    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 the 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.

  • Every CC app closes immediately after opening

    Hey there
    I've seen this question asked over and over again with a different answer most times. When I launch any CC app (i.e. DW & Photoshop), they'd close right after they finish loading. Only notable exception is Lightroom... but of course, that's not lightroom I need right now.
    - I cleared my previous CS6 install, even removed flash player. Ran Ccleaner twice including multiple rebbots. All fresh from any Adobe stuff.
    - I do not have GROWL installed on my system.
    - I did sign in/out/in the creative cloud app.
    - I did try different install location.
    - I tried ALL CAPS and no caps for my login.
    I got my 1 year subscription paid upfront; this is friday night &  I'm VERY upset as I do have work to do !
    Can someone please help ?
    Greg

    Hey there sorry to hear you're facing the same pb.
    Let me save you hours with the support queues. You won't fix this. Simple.
    The only thing that worked was to reimage my system. On a fresh install it worked right away. It's painful but really so much quicker than the time i spent trying to rootcause with the support folks on the phone.
    Once it's behind you, things are good.

  • Updated to firefox 3.6.13 and it closes immediately after opening it

    after upgrading from 3.5.16 to 3.6.13 when I open it immediately closes
    running windows 7

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

  • Photoshop CC closes immediately after opening?

    I click on Photoshop CC to use, like I usually do, and it will not open. I open my task manager to see that not five seconds after it appears as a process, it gets "suspended" as it's status and disappeared.

  • Lightroom CC closes immediately after opening in OSX

    Hi,
    I just removed Lightroom 5 and installed Lightroom CC from the CC console. Since re-installing Lightroom, the splash screen shows up and then immediately closes without any error messages. Lightroom 5 used to work without any problems.
    Are there any logs that I can look at? Since there is no error message, I'm not sure where to start.
    I have also tried uninstalling Lightroom CC using the Adobe uninstaller, and then re-installing it again from CC.
    I'm running OSX Yosemite (10.10.2).
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Jim,
    Signing out did the trick - thanks! Not very obvious, but it looks like it needed to refresh the license from Adobe.
    When I started Lightroom after signing out and back in to the CC application, Lightroom prompted me to confirm the account that I was using. It showed a wizard that at one point said my trial had zero (00) days remaining. After clicking through the wizard and at some point clicking a "Sign In" button, it worked a charm.
    Thanks!

  • The applications close immediately after opening

    Hi,
    I have bought my iPhone 5 2-3 days ago. After installing some applications I connected my iPhone to the computer in order to copy my music folder using iTunes (windows 7 version). Since then I couldn't open the installed applications. So, I searched for solutions. I found that the problem can be solved by downloading an application from app store or resetting the phone.
    Unfortunately none of the solutions did not work.
    What can I do now?
    Thank you in advance
