ITunes will not open on my iMac

There were updates installed for iTunes and now I cannot open up my iTunes......I'm not sure what has happened. I am able to go to "Finder" and click on it but that's about the extent of it. I cannot open it from any other file either, i.g. "Applications". When I click on the iTunes located on the dock, it seems as if it will open but it doesn't. Please help?

also try and go to disk utility and repair permissions

My itunes will not open on my imac

I want to back up the ipad and I can't get itunes to open on the imac.

To find out which version of iTunes you have, highlight its original icon>Finder>File>Get Info.
Can you open iTunes from it's original icon?
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Itunes will not open my iMac

I have a 2 year old imac which generally running just fine, however itunes will not open on my user profile, it just seems to get stuck in a loop. I've checked the other user profiles and its working fine on there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I updated itunes (10/12/13) to imac and now itunes will not open

I updated my imac with the new update for itunes (10/12/13). Now iTunes will not open at all

I found another site and it suggested that I go through System Preferences and check downloads again. The iTunes update was still there indicating that it still needed to be downloaded. So I downloaded it again and now it works fine. I hope this might help someone else.
Thank you

I downloaded the latest version of itunes, now it will not open on my iMac

I just downloaded the latest version of itunes, restarted my iMac, and now itunes will not open.. it bounces once in the dock,

Go to your applications folder and start iTunes from there. If that works you need to drag the application to the Dock.

Did a software update (the latest for iMac) for iTunes and now iTunes will not open

iTunes will not open after the update completed. I tried to downgrade back to the previous for iTunes but I cannot access my downloads....I seriously need help from someone.....HELP

The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

ITunes will not open - hangs up every time

I am running os x 10.8.5, on a mac book pro 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo.

ITunes will not open in Snow Leopard

For inexplicable reasons, iTunes will not open. I am using an Intel iMac with a 2Ghz chip and 3 gb of ram. I have tried deleting iTunes and reinstalling, deleting plug-ins, and running Disk Warrior 4.2. Nothing works, and Apple wants me to pay $29 to talk to someone on the phone. Since this is a Snow Leopard issue that seems unfair. Is anyone else running Snow Leopard unable to open iTunes, and if so, how is the condition fixed?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

ITunes will not open with iOS 7 update

iTunes will not open with iOS 7 update

My sister is having the same issue on iPhone 4. iTunes only loads the menu buttons at the bottom of the app with no content. I'm going to have her try the reset settings.
I will add that iTunes on my iMac seems to require a cookie from Safari to keep you logged in. I've never seen the same requirement on the phone but iBond's solution will work if you ever have an issue with iTunes log in on your computer.

I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro and I recently downloaded OS X Maverick. My iTunes will not open because it says i need a 64 bit version. Already followed the promted instructions but no luck. Any suggestions??

Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.
Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
Well, that's about it..
I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.
Best Regards,
mm~

My Itunes will not open, please help

I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open. I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
My PC is running Windows 7. I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
One error I seem to have caught is as follows:
Problem Event Name     BEX
Application     itunes.exe
Version     10.7.0.21
timestamp     504d85d9
Fault Module Name Quicktime.qts_unloaded
Fault Module Version     0.0.0.0.
If someone has some suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes. You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update. I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

Itunes will not open at all

hey guys,
ever since I've reinstalled my pc with windows xp pro sp3, my itunes will not open at all.
every time i click on itunes.exe it does not do anything. It does give me the hourglass icon as if my pc is working on it. but then it disappears without any itunes response.
to fix this issue, I have tried any possible method that i could find on the internet. even called the support center but they were not able to help me either.
I have tried to reinstall itunes *(no effect)*
did something with the cryptographic something in the administrative tools menu *(no effect)*
I have deleted the itunes installer cache *(no effect)*
I installed any older versions,( btw 7 does not work either)but after updating it *(no effect)*
itunes 6 does work; but since i have an iphone it is completely useless for me. so *(no effect)*
the strange thing is that itunes.exe does appear in the "processes" tab in task manager, but it does not show in the "applications" tab.
and every time I shut down my pc, I get the windows message that itunes is shutting down.
If you have any other suggestions, please be so kind help me.
this is driving me nuts. It's been going on for two months now.
Kind regards,
Bart

I am not sure if I have this right from all those posts.
When you try to start iTunes, there is no error message and you can see iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab of the task manager.
If that is your probelm it is commonly do to a problem with cryptographic services.
Before looking into that there is a quick thing to try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
If that's not it, work carefully through *method 4* in the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
Make a careful note of any error messages you get, this is important. post back the names of any dlls mentioned in error messages.
If you don't get any error messages try starting iTunes.

Error R6034 during update. iTunes will not open due to error.

Get Error R6034, Application attmempting to load C runtime library incorrectly. iTunes will not install ammanulaly and now iTunes will not open due to error.

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?
