Itunes will not open after download, itunes will not open after download

I downloaded the recent update for itunes 10. It crashed my computer and my computer went into safe mode and i said yes to delete itunes.
I downloaded itunes again and it will now not work. The download goes through perfect and i have repaired it more times than i can count.
Still the same window pops up saying, "the itunes library .itl cannot be found or created. The default location for the file is in the "itunes" folder in the "music" folder." What do i do?

Try holding down the shift key as you open iTunes. You should see a dialog, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library".
In "Music" open the "iTunes" folder and select the iTunes Library.itl file as per the following screenshot:
.. and click the "Open" button.
Does your iTunes launch now?
(If so, you should be able to launch normally from now on out. By default, iTunes opens the last open library file when you launch it normally.)

After installing the OS 10.10.3 update iTunes will not open. Re-downloading iTunes and re-installing did not help.

After downloading and installing OS 10.10.3 iTunes will not open. Spotlight does not find it. I have repaired permissions, re-downloaded iTunes, and re-installed it. The problem remains. ITunes appears in the directory of Applications, the update shown in the info in Finder. Double clicking does not open it.

After installing snow leopard 10.6.8 my mail application will not open. It says you can not use this version of the application Mail with this OS X. You have Mail 3.6. What do I do? I thought everything would just automatically update... am I doing something wrong?
I suggest visiting the following Apple Support Communities Thread, your problem is similar to the one described there...

After downloading Itunes, It will not open, help.

After I download Itunes I can't get the program to open. HELP.

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 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.

Downloaded Itunes, will not open!

I ha downloaded Itunes twice . It will not 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.

I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) and am running Windows 7, Itunes will not open and I get an error message about Microsoft runtime and I get an error R6034 and 1114 which says Itunes was installed incorrectly. Can anyone help?

I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) update and am running Windows 7. Itunes will not run after installing this update and I receive an error message R6034 on Loading Microsoft C Runtime Library incorrectly. Also Error message 1114 the Itunes Installer was installed incorrectly. Is there an new update for this problem? Is anyone else having this problem? Please help. Thanks.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

My iPhone 4 will not open my purchased apps, anyone know what is going on? I just recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes onto and synced my phone.

Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

TS1538 My PC will not download iTunes 10.7. Nothing happens after clicking on Save File.

My PC will not download iTunes 10.7. Nothing happens after clicking on Save File. Do I have to uninstall 10.6.1.7 first?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

File Vault will not open after Safari/ITunes update

I just ran an update for Safari, ITunes, and Security, and after restart, I get the following after entering my password: "Your FileVault-Protected home folder did not open, and needs to be repaired. Click ok to repair, or cancel to cancel login"
Obviously, I clicked "Ok" to repair. and I got this message: "you are unable to log in to the user account XXXXX at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred"
And that's ALL it does.
Any suggestions?

I had the EXACT same thing happen. I ran those three updates, restarted and got the message you did. I talked to a 1-800 tech then had an appointment at the local Genius Bar today. They told me in order to recover the files in my user folder I will have to connect to another Mac HD via firewire and access the user folder by entering my FileVault password. Trouble is .... I don't have a Filevault password. I never set it up for fear I wouldn't remember the password and get locked out of my computer. Well, looks like Apple did it to me in spite of my best intentions.

Are you able to successfully download an installer if you use Firefox instead of IE or vice versa? (Firefox handles network/internet connections differently from other browsers, so an issue in IE can sometimes be overcome by using Firefox or vice versa.)

HT3281 on ipad ,itunes movies download but will not open

can't get downloaded itune movies to open.any tips?

I have three computers that are practicably clones of each other and the new itunes update failed on two of them but one worrked fine. Here is fix that worked for me. This fix was suggested by another member but I cannot recall or find his post. My system is WinXP sp3 with all the latest patches.
1. Download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 for Windows http://support.apple.com/downloads/
2. Open task Manager and stop the mdnsresponder process. The corrupted mdnsresponder will be using 50% of your cpu.
3. Open control panel / add remove programs. Find the bonjour app and click on it.
4. Note the corrupted version of bonjour 2.0.0.34 by clicking on the support link.
5. Uninstall bonjour
6. Restart Windows.
7. Install the AirPort Utility. This will install a good working version of mdnsresponder. Restart windows again.
8. Upon restart you will see a new the airport icon in your task tray. You can also find mdnsresponder.exe running under process in task manger with little or no cpu usage. Your bonjour app under add remove panel will now be version 1.0.106

I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features. However the main movies will not let you play.

I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features. However the main movies will not let you play. On mouse over in itunes the 'play' buttion is not enabled, yet is however enabled on previously downloaded movies.

For me I have follow several of the help articles. When I play the movie in iTunes the screen is black with no audio, the timer status says it is playing (although it does not work all the time). I am able to play and have audio on the extras. I tried to use just QuickTime to play the movie and that as well does not work. I have started iTunes in safe mode and when the movie would begin to play, iTunes crashes and I have to restart. I have tried fresh clean installs of iTunes as well as QuickTime with no luck.
It looks to be a QuickTime problem however I cant verify that. Any help would be great.

Hello colinOxford0917,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iBooks on your devices. If you continue to have issues opening the book in question on your iPad Air due to a format error, you may want to try deleting the copy on your iPad, then redownloading it directly to your iPad from the iBook Store. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
