Itunes will not open after installing yosemite

I installed Yosemite and have tried to repeatedly. Get my new Itunes 12 to open but it refuses. It will not make any indication that it is attempting to open. I have tried to reinstall it a number of times and it still will not open.
any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I've encountered the exact same problem.
iTunes wouldn't start up at all, even tough it had the correct version.
By browsing to the applications contents and running the itunes exec it would work.
Also running it through Terminal would work. But simply not by clicking the iTunes.app
However i've fixed it! by manually setting read and write so that you can delete the iTunes.app. (for a tut see http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/)
Then manually Install iTunes again by downloading it at http://www.apple.com/nl/itunes/download/
Then it worked fine with me! Hope it helps.

Itunes will not open after installing lion and software updates

I just installed lion and completed the most recent software updates for my computer, now i cannot get iTunes to open without it "unexpectedly quitting" on me. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

You can try two things - Open Disk Utility and repair all permissions for your hard disk and / or delete the iTunes Preferences plist file in userhome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
However, Lion now hides this Library folder in your user home folder, so you will need to open the Terminal app and type
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
and press return
This will show the Library folder

Safari will not open after installing Yosemite on my iMac. I loaded it on my MacBook without any issues. I've searched and tried some things that were posted such as safe mode and removing 3rd party plug-ins with no luck. When is there a fix?

is there an an Apple approved procedure to fix Safari from crashing? From posts that I've read, this was an issue in the Beta version, so I wonder why it was not fixed before it was released. I work all day and don't have a lot of time in the evening to troubleshoot something that should have been tested and approved before releasing. Apple, It just doesn't work.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
Thanks.

Hi Cchoe,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

ITunes will not open after updating

Ever since the update to 7.1.1 iTunes will not open.
I get a pop-up window that says iTunes has stopped working.
I have followed Apple's instructions for Vista about uninstalling all Apple products. I have done this 8+ times and I am at a total loss. I am a webmaster and Sr. Sys. Admin for a software company, so it's not like I don't have experience with computer/software issues.
When I look at the Windows application log. I have this error:
Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.7.1.11, time stamp
0x4890a5ee, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time
stamp 0x4791a76d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000254d8,
process id 0xf44, application start time 0x01c8fb2e587a39a9.
This started happening after I updated.
No other issues with any other programs. Quicktime will start up and run.

I hear you. My itunes is fubared and Apple and ALL the articles they send do NO good. I have emailed Apple many times and nothing helps.
Whatever they changed with version 7.1 messed up itunes and you can't go back.
I have emailed Apple asking them if I can delete my itunes directory and any references to itunes and NOT lose my 10K songs. They havent responded to that email and my guess is that it will delete it. But Im not going to risk losing my library until I know for sure !
Im in the same boat you are, I dont want to lose my library either. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW !!
anyway this is a pain in the *** but itunes(windows) will open this way
UNTIL APPLE FIXES THIS !
1.boot up windows
2.right click on your START button
3.go to C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes (my machine is a Dell with Vista)
4.go to the itunes directory C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC INFO
5.delete BOTH files SC info.sidb AND SC info.sibb
6.launch itunes, it should open, mine did.
7. if you have any purchased songs from the istore, log-in with your user name/password.
THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR ITUNES OPEN, IF YOU CLOSE IT OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AGAIN. (at least I did)
GOOD LUCK !!

ITunes will not maximize after installing 12.0

iTunes window would not maximize - reinstalled and took the update of 12.0 and still have the issue of not being able to maximize out beyond the taskbar - any suggestions?

Hello gkrause1518,
If the window for iTunes will not open when you start the application, I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
Theres a lot to it, but just follow it from the top to the bottom in order.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

TS3540 ITunes will not open after re-install

I followed the instructions from this article after trying to sync iTunes with iPhone5. I finished the second set of steps downloading http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
After restarting a couple of times, it still will not open. The icon in the Dock has a question mark superinposed on it.
Now what do I do? All of this just to get message groups/email lists to be on the new phone. Yikes!

Well, after reading more posts and not getting any answers here, I kept fidgeting and discovered that while the Dock iTunes icon did not work, going through the App folder and then adding the icon to the Dock did work. The iPhone5 did sync while plugged into power - not having to be directly connected to the iMac. So far so good. Still figuring out how to get the groups to show up.

ITunes will not open after (12) update!!!!!!!

Just updated iTunes to (12) and now it will not open. Two messages. The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll. and then iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)

Win XP SP3 32bit

i had almost same issue on Windows RT 8.1
i tried to uninstall and reintsall as apple says THOUSAND TIMES but, did not work at all !
i sorted out myself issues they are ,
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple folder &
C:\ProgramData\Apple &
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer cannot be deleted
thats why i recieved "Error 7 (Windows Error XXX)" even though apple says its because netframework or Corrupt download or incomplete installation of iTunes software
so i moved undeletable folders with all subfolders to desktop and run installation of itunes12.0.1.26
all solved my problems of installing itunes, now i have to find a way to delete the files on the desktop .

Itunes will not open after upgrade

After upgrading to the latest version of itunes and quicktime it will not open (no error message given). If i log off as administrator and log on as another user it will open. is there a fix for this?

there's a few different things that can cause that on a PC.
perhaps try working through the user-account-specific section of the following document first:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch failures

Itunes will not open after upgrading to 9

I cannot run itunes 9 on XP
Everything worked fine untill version 9 was released. At that point I reinstalled version 8 and everything was working.
Last week I bought an ipad and it forced me to upgrade to the latest version.
I opened after installing but once I rebooted Itunes no longer opens.
Itunes does not apear under applications in Windows task manager
under processes I see:
Itunes.exe
Ituneshelper.exe
Applemobiledeviceservice
Ipodservice.exe
If I try to open Itunes again a second copy of Itunes.exe apperes in processes.
Itunes.9.2.0.61
Apple application 1.3.0
Apple mobile device support 3.1.0.62
Apple software update 2.1.1.116
Running microsoft xp home edition 2002 Service pack 3

Norton security suite 4.2.0.12
That's the one that Comcast distributes?
If so, I'd check the firewall rules for your iTunes in the Norton suite first. (Norton generally has to update a rule for iTunes when your iTunes version is upgraded, so it's a prime time for something to go wrong with your rule for iTunes.)
End any running iTunes.exe processes, and then check to see if you currently have an iTunes rule in the firewall.
If you don't have an iTunes rule at all, create one allowing full access to the internet.
If you have an iTunes rule that doesn't allow full access to the internet, edit the rule to allow access to the internet.
If you have an iTunes rule that does allow full access to the internet, delete it and create a new rule for iTunes (allowing full access to the internet).
Restart the PC and then try another iTunes launch. Does it launch correctly this time?
