Itunes refuses to open for past month. Freezes up my computer. Help?

itunes has not worked at all for a month. 64-bit. The problem is system wide. As long as i am not trying to open itunes, my computer works perfectly. Help please.

Can you elaborate? I am not aware of any m3u playlist being present but maybe there is. I have done this many times before. I move tons of files around in my music folder, add/delete/change, and rather than have iTunes try to figure it all out again, I just remove everything out of iTunes and add my entire folder back. I've done it probably 50 times in the past and now, when I do it, it's creating playlists for every single folder or album or something, just as the original poster has described. I do not like the behavior and would like to turn it off now! I'm on Mac so iTunes Folder Watch will not work for me. Any suggestions?

ITunes refuses to open for at least 5 minutes.

Okay so the other day i started having frustrating problems with my iTunes. I've had this computer for around 3 months now and there hasn't been a single problem related to iTunes, i double click the launch icon on the desktop and it opens within seconds. Which is what is supposed to happen...
Then suddenly it started being slow, i'd double click it, the rotating 'loading circle' would pop up for a brief amount of time and then stop, iTunes wouldn't open but the processes would show as being active. I did everything in the book to try and sort it out, tried a different user account, used the system restore function, re-installed iTunes, QuickTime, even Bonjour... still with no luck. Having an iPhone 3GS i require iTunes to transfer music and the like and it's become frustrating that i'm unable to do anything iTunes related with it. I decided to do a complete format which wiped everything from my computer - it's basically a new computer... which in turn means i've lost everything, my music, videos and pictures... which i'm not overly bothered about as they're replaceable with time.
I configured my 'new' computer, downloaded iTunes and YET AGAIN, the same thing happend. I then tried downloading an earlier version once again (9.2.1) and installed it, same problem. Completely baffled as to what the problem is as technically it's a brand new machine and should therefore have no problems with opening iTunes, and i know it's not just the program or my computers speed due to it working flawlessly previously.
Any helps appreciated, this is seriously annoying me now.

Downloads from iTunes on my macbook air do not download on my desktop but remain in iTunes folder which refuse to open for use.

I couldn't get downloads from iTunes to be on the desktop of my Macbook air but they remain in iTunes folder and refuse to open for use. What am I to do?

Downloads of what? Songs? Apps? Books?
If you're talking about apps, then you have downloaded iOS apps which are intended to run on an iPhone or iPad, not a Mac.

Programming Logic required for pulling the records for past month /week

Hi All
I need help in the SQL programming logic.
Oracle Database Version: 10.2.0.3.0
Requirement
In a data warehouse environment, I need to programme for weekly and monthly automated batch jobs to insert the data from Data_tbl to Reporting_tbl for generating reports. Tables descriptions are given below.
Table1 - Data_tbl (Source table –this table gets updated everyday).
Record_dt     first_name     last_name
Table2 - Reporting_tbl_(Target table)
Cycle_dt     first_name     last_name
1. Monthly Report
In the SQL Query, I have where clause condition—
Where Record_dt >=’01-nov-08’ and record_dt<=’30-nov-08’
Using the above condition in development, I am pulling the data from source table for the past month data. This will be repeated every month and it should be automated.
i.e., if I run this report any time in dec 2008, it should pick records of dates from Nov 01st to Nov 30th 2008. if I run this report any time in Jan 2009, it should pick records of dates from Dec 01st to Dec 31st 2008.
Date Values should be assigned for past month. Value of Cycle_dt in target table should be end date of past month like 30-nov-2008, 31-dec-2008.
2. Weekly Report
In the SQL Query, I have where clause condition—
Where Record_dt >=’01-dec-08’ and record_dt<=’07-dec-08’
Here week start day is Monday and end day is Sunday.
If I run the report between Dec 08th to Dec 14th , it should pull records of dates from Dec 01st to Dec 07th 2008.
On Dec 15th, it should pick from Dec 08th to Dec 14th.
Value of Cycle_dt in target table should be end date of past week like 07-Dec-2008, 14-Dec-2008.
Please help me with the logics for both Monthly and Weekly reports.
Thanks

Hi,
For the monthly report, instead of
Where Record_dt >=’01-nov-08’ and record_dt<=’30-nov-08’say:
Where   Record_dt >= TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -1), 'MM')
and     record_dt < TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM')SYSDATE is the current DATE.
TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MM') is the beginning of the current month. (Notice the condition above is less than this date, not equal to it.)
ADD_MONTHS (STSDATE, -1) is a date exactly one month ago, therefore it is in the previous month.
For the weekly report, instead of:
Where Record_dt >=’01-dec-08’ and record_dt<=’07-dec-08’say
Where   Record_dt >= TRUNC (SYSDATE - 7, 'IW')
and     record_dt < TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'IW')TRUNC (dt, 'IW') is the beginning of the ISO week (Monday-Sunday) that contains dt. Again, notice the end condition is strictly less than the beginning of the current week.

Age not getting updated for past months

Hi all,
I have loaded the cube 0PA_C01 for HR data regarding Personal Administration.
Since I have loaded the cube in April,therefore in the cube when I see I get the correct Age of an employee for April.But for March,Feb and Jan I am not getting the Age as it is not getting updated.I checked the update rule 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1,according to me it calculates the age based on system date.
The data in my cube looks as below:
AGE             CALMONTH                   HEADCOUNT
                 012006                         2679
                  022006                         2694
                  032006                         2694
15                042006                            1
20                042006                            1
and so on.
Could you please suggest how to get the Age for past months?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Yogesh

Is the update rule for age,a customized one?
If so it could happen that routine was setup after the data load of March.So April load is correct while the other older loads are not.
Try deleting and reconstructing the data requests of months older than April,in the cube.See if this corrects the age.
Another thing confused me.
AGE CALMONTH HEADCOUNT
012006 2679
022006 2694
032006 2694
15 042006 1
20 042006 1
Does datasource send 1 record for each employee?Looks so as it has employee age(which must be calculated by difference between date of birth and system-date).Then how come each record has HEADCOUNT field?
cheers,
Vishvesh

ITunes Refuses to Open. No Joke.

I have spent a month following every possible suggestion given, and nothing seems to work. My problem started when I downloaded the updated version of iTunes...Ever since then, it refuses to open. Can someone please help me before I throw my laptop into the river? (I'm training for a marathon and I really need new music)

I, too, am experiencing the same problem. Nothing helps. I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Bounjour, etc. 3-4 times. I've de-activated my anti-virus/spyware software (not Norton). I've done selective start-up (turning off most services/start up software). I've started up as a different user.
I was on the phone with Apple for 2+ hours uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting specific configuration files.
Nothing has helped.
I start up iTunes, and when I look in Task Manager, iTunes.exe is running,first using some CPU, then, after about 10 seconds, using no CPU, and iTunes does not launch.
Has anyone found a solution yet?

Downloaded itunes 7.5 on Tiger, iTunes REFUSES to open

I currently have OSX Tiger for my MacBook Pro. I upgraded my iTunes music library to v7.5 recently, but since I've done that, my iTunes has refused to open. A window pops up telling me I have to download the new OSX Leopard! What? So I went to HD>Library>Reciepts, and deleted itunesX.pkg, thinking the recent update would eliminate itself. Well, nothings happened. Plain, and simple, I would like my music library back without having to pay for Leopard. What's the deal?

You first have to update your OS X 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 or better, then click on this latest info link from Apple, plus the additional link "Recreate" that is posted within this document.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
Make sure you have QuickTime 7.3 installed ..... but NO hackies or Shape Shifter.

ITunes is not updating for many months, stuck on v12.0.0.140

Hello,
For many months now, when I start iTunes it tells me there is an update. I click the Download iTunes button. The App Store then opens, but there are never any iTunes update listed in there for me to download and install.
So I am still on 12.0.0.140, and iTunes indicates there is an update to 12.1.2
What should I do?
Thank you

Oh, never mind. Numerous times I looked for a direct download of iTunes, and always ended up back on App Store. Just now I found someone posted this link, and I have 12.1.2 download as I type this. I suspect that means this problem is finally solved.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I have no idea why I was unable to find that link before when looking through apple.com — it's pretty clear and obvious. Usual story... spent hours looking for answer to issue. Resort to finally posting a question. Voila... next moment the answer appears where previously none was found.

ITunes won't open for a different reason then anyone else has posted! HELP!

Hey, hopefully you can help me. I recently tried to move my music to my new external hard drive. It was successful and worked fine. All of the sudden, iTunes decided that it would not open. Whenever I try to open iTunes the following message pops up:
The folder "itunes" cannot be opened or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.
I have tried to move the music back, tried to create a new folder (my music and itunes), tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I even tried to reinsert my ipod/itunes software cd, and even that didnt work.
Think you can handle this question? Then shoot me the answer to this question!

this seemed like it was going to work, but when i
click repair my music folder, it doesn't do anything.
When i clicked it for the other ones, it thought for
a half-second then i went to my documents and my
video folder was back as was my pictures. However,
my music still wasn't there. what now?
I'm not sure what you did, but whatever you did, it was wrong. I'm not talking about any "Repair" options...
Just create a "My Music" folder in the correct place. Then open TweakUI, and go to My Computer->Special Folders in TweakUI. In the folder drop down, select the "My Music" folder, then use the Change Location button to select the new My Music folder you have just created.
There's no magical "Repair" involved. You need to fix the folder yourself.

ITunes is not opening for no apparent reason

My iTunes won't open anymore. I don't know what's wrong. It was working fine yesterday and now it just bounces in the task bar. I tried to update it but an "unexpected error" occurs every time. Similarly, I tried to download it offline and I got the same message. I am afraid to delete iTunes for fear of losing my music. Anyone know what might be going on. Is my best chance to delete it, re-download iTunes, and go ahead and upload all my music again?

This is the itunes store with windows forum. So assuming you're on a windows PC (alhtough your signature says Mac), try doing a repair on itunes. In XP, it's Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, click on change and then repair.

ITunes agreement will open for a brief second and close

I have installed and tried all different kinds of things to try and get itunes to work. I can't get itunes to open for the agreement. The agreement will come up but then shut about 1 second later. I have reinstalled more times than I can count. I have symantec firewall and antivirus and have tried shutting them both off and it still will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nick

So, you turned off Norton prior to launching iTunes? Do you see both iTunes AND Quicktime in your task manager under the processes tab? If you do, do they stay or go away.
Sounds like a malware issue. Try downloading EWIDO, a free malware program and scan your PC. Norton seems to let too much junk in. Most NOrton users find all sorts of malware on their PC's. Good Luck
