Itunes update failed and now itunes won't open

If I uninstall and then reinstall itunes, will my music "reappear"?  What about the music that I manually added to my itunes (via CD)?
Any help would be great!  Thanks so much!!

It did for me.  And I wanted to thank the group for the advice!
I was sweating bullets when it was installing.  Almost four thousand handpicked songs accumulated over four years.  Names, Dates, Album Art, etc.
I just joined to say thanks for the help/guidance!!

    Hello jackhennessy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below as an administrator:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.

  • Updated iTunes 10.5 and now it won't open at all.

    I updated it, and I resetted my computer and every time I click on iTunes, it won't load or open. Can anyone help me? :\ I have an XP and I have Service Pack 3. If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.

  • Just had Javascript update done and now Firefox won't open,,,keeps coming up with XML Parsing error not well formed. how can I get rid of this?

    also awindow pops up NS error XPC Bad convert JS cannot convert JAVASCRIPT argument arg 4 (NSL window watcher open window)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == just today ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; (R1 1.5))

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Update failed. Now iTunes won't recognize iPhone.

    I connected my iPhone 4s to my computer, and iTunes prompted me to update my iphone. I initiated the update and awhile later the update failed and now my phone only shows a picture of the phone's cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. Whenever I plug it in, iTunes does not recognize it. I have gone throught the basic fixes suggested, but the issue remains. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I have restarted Apple Mobile Support, I have reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I don't know what else to do.
    I am using Windows 7.

    I really wasn't sure what on my computer was causing the problem, but I just used another computer whose iTunes recognized my phone, was able to restore it to factory settings, and then my computer's iTunes recognized it once it was no longer in recovery mode, and I was able to return my iphone to normal with a previous backup.
    Thanks for trying to help.
