ITunes runs, but doesn't open.

I got a new iTouch today, and installed the latest version of iTunes so I could set it up. The install finished, but iTunes didn't open. I clicked on it from my desktop, and still nothing. I opened Task Manager, and it wasn't show in the Applications tab, but it was in the Processes tab. I ended it, and tried to run iTunes again but the same thing happened. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and still the same thing is happening. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't use the iPod if I can't get on iTunes.. it's just a paperweight. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

I read somewhere to uninstall Bonjour, and now it works. (:

ITunes starts but doesn't open

After upgrade to iTunes v7.7, whenever I start the program I see the library-loading progress bar, but then the iTunes window itself doesn't open; however, according to the Windows Task Manager, itunes.exe is nevertheless running. No error message of any kind is displayed at any point.
How can I get the blessed thing to show itself?

Although this is sounding a bit like a library file issue, other problems can cause similar symptoms. The following document provides a good structure for sifting through the alternatives:

ITunes installs but doesn't open. Numberless Error

Hi
Recently I was trying to update iTunes (to the most recent version I think) and my crummy computer froze during the installation. When I restarted I tried to run iTunes and got an error message:

ITunes new version doesn't open at all. Gives error message

I downloaded 7.4.3 version of iTunes and it doesn't open at all. Gives error message. "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I have previous version of iTunes in my spare HD, in the same computer, and it works perfectly fine.
I have unistalled and re-installed again and again many times including with the help of Apple Support help in the phone and came up with no clues of what's going on.
How can I get a previous version of iTunes to download to my PC? I have looking for a place on Apple's website where I could probably have my issue resolved, but I found nothing.
Thank you.

Thanks to Jim Zack, the problem is solved.

Database is mounted automaticaly, but doesn't open

Hello everybody! Please help!!!
I have Oracle 8.1 installed on Win2000. When I restart the PC, the database is mounted automaticaly, but doesn't open. I have to open it manually every time I restart the PC. How can I solve this problem?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that doesn't help:
Post the Crash Log.
It's at Home / Library / Logs / Crash-Reporter / iphoto.crash.log
Double click on the file and it will open in the Console. Copy and Paste it in here.
Regards

Project launches iMovie HD, but doesn't open

I have an edit on iMovie HD, which for some reason launches iMovie, but doesn't open. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Try deleting the imovie preference file.
Close Imovie.
Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist

You're getting "No such file or directory" errors because you're running a precompiled 32 bit binary on a 64 bit machine without having all the required 32 bit libraries. Try and install every lib32 counter part to the dependencies listed on the AUR page.
I thought it was because of being 64 bit.
I was looking for that dependencies list... where is it?

Itunes downloaded but will not open

i have just downloaded itunes and when the download was complete i tried to open the software and nothing happened, i have never had a virus or anything on my computer so i am just comfused, how do i get it to open?

hi stubbs!
let's start off with the three usual suspects with an "error-message-free" itunes launch failure:
if you don't see anything but a two-second-hourglass AND you've got Norton Internet Security 2005 on that PC
... let's start you off with the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
(other symptoms people sometimes see with the NIS 2005 one include looooong slooooow PC shutdown times, a ccApp.exe end program dialog box during the shutdowns, and a end program dialog box where the name of the program is apparently a long string of non-printing or random Asian characters ...)
if you don't see anything but a two-second-hourglass but you DON'T have NIS 2005 on that PC
... quickly check to see if you've got an unstable itunes configuration file:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
if you see a brief flash of the itunes license screen when you try to launch itunes AND you see similar behavior when you try to open your QuickTime
... your PC is probably infested by Qoologic adware. the free trial version of the EWIDO malware removal software has been cleaning that up for most folks:
http://www.ewido.net/en/
if no joy with any of those possibilities, we'll try checking on some of the rarer possibilities. (actually the configuration file thing is pretty rare too, but we've got a troubleshooting document on it so i throw it out there anyway early on in proceedings.)
if, on the other hand, you're getting an error message when you try to launch itunes, post back to let us know what it says. the treatments for those are generally different from the treatments for the error-message-free itunes launch failures.

Just installed Final Cut Express 4 but doesn't open

Hey I'm a dummy but....Just installed Final Cut Express 4 but doesn't open tells me I don't have the AGP graphics card,my ATI Radeon X1600?Do some imac 1.83 Intel Core Duo come with out it?I'm freek'n stuck!!Any help would be Greatly appreciated!!

Al's suggestion should solve the problem.
However, if you get fed up with hitting the esc key every time you open FCE you could try this permanent cure .......... it's nowhere near as frightening as it sounds and only takes a minute !
For a permanent cure edit the info.plist like this:-
1. Right click on the FCE icon (in Applications NOT the Dock) and select "Show Package Contents".
2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.

IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.
It happened after installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.
Any ideas?

Disable screen saver. Restart.
