ITunes window fails to open.

After upgrading to iTunes 10, the iTunes window fails to open. In task manager, the iTunes process runs, and occasionally the "Checking iTunes library" dialogue will pop up, but the window itself does not open. I have already tried most of the suggestions on the Apple help page [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421]. The issue is system-wide and I have tried the following:
* Removing iTunes Configuration Files
* Fix digital signing of Windows drivers
* Check the iTunes and QuickTime installations
However, the problem continues. It is not a problem with a virus on my PC, nor with a conflicting program. I'm at a loss as to what is causing this.
PC meets all the required specs to run iTunes, except graphics card drivers are out-of-date. There is nothing I can do about this short of purchasing a new graphics card, however previous versions of iTunes have run fine.
Can give more details if required, hoping for a fix.
Thanks

Try removing the Genius database.
In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ directory 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 window would not open after upgrade

Just upgraded to OS 10.4.7, and iTunes 6.0.5. All my software is fully up to date with all the latest. After the upgrade when launching iTunes I have two problems:
1. Intially the program launched. Now iTunes window does not open. Only the Equalizer window opens. A very big problem!!
2. During the first launch after the upgrade, when I still had my window, it took away a couple of free songs credit I still had with Apple. I don't have those credits any longer, or at least it didn't show it and wanted me to pay for downloads.
Should have left the program alone and not update I guess.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Only the Equalizer window opens
That means the app. is active.
Press Command-1 (Window menu) to reveal the iTunes window.
Sorry, no clue about the credits.
Hope this helps.

When I quit itunes it restarts again with the dot under the itunes logo but the iTunes window doesn't open until I click the icon on the dock. Also in the middle of the size vale in the size column the value starts with a number then a ? then a number.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.

ITunes completely failing to open

When clicking on the iTunes icon to simply open it as normal is says ~
''Please wait while windows confugures iTunes'' then
'' Error writing file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\Apple TV Help.chms '' and everytime i click retry it just comes staright back up again.
I have no idea what that means, or how on earth i could begin to resolve it. It has only started to happen today, as it was fine yesterday. Is there any one who thinks they have an idea on what to do?

Itunes window does not open

running itunes 8 on 2.4ghz osx 10.5.5 imac.
when i open itunes the application opens but the window does not nor can i get it to open. when i initially click on itunes to open it the curser blips to the opening egg timer for about 1 quarter second but the window does not open. the menu bar opens and all drop downs appear but no window.

I had this happen too. go to system preferences and move the dock from it's current position. I found the itunes window was under the dock...

ITunes window will not open

I can play iTunes but the main window will not appear. It isn't minimized or hidden. The program is open and functioning, menus are there, Equalizer opens OK, but I just can't view any music (or the Visualizer UNLESS I'm in Full Screen mode under View). Using 8.0.2 with Mac OS 10.4.11 and I have no idea why it started happening. I launched iTunes and the window just never opened. Any ideas?

Mike,
Several people have found the iTunes window almost off the bottom of the screen. Use the  menu to hide or move the dock and see if you can see the iTunes window and drag it back on the screen.
You could also try using Exposé (typically the function 9 key) to show all windows. If the iTunes window is exposed, click in it.
You can try using system preferences -> displays to change your display resolution and you might find it.
Lastly, if you are using Spaces, is it in another space?

My itunes window won't open but computer says it's running

I try opening my itunes, but a window for it won't open on my computer. When I try to shut down, my computer claims itunes is running...?

Did you find a solution to this? You're right about Lion dropping Rosetta support. And you're right that Fireworks CS5 is an Intel application.
This seems like a perfect question for Adobe tech support. Have you tried contacting them? (If that's not an option, you might try Apple, since the problem relates to the Lion OS.)

Windows fails to open Samba ZIP archives with names over 8 characters

I have an XServe running OS X Leopard in Advanced mode. It is running Samba in order to provide file sharing services to Windows clients within our network.
I have Vista running in VMWare Fusion, accessing a file-share on the Leopard server via Samba. I have stored a .exe file and a .zip file on the share. When I try to access these files, I am able to successfully access the .exe but not the .zip.
The error I receive (upon attempting to open the ZIP archive) is:
"Windows cannot open the folder.
The Compressed (zipped) Folder 'Z:\1234abcde.zip' is invalid."
Sometimes copying the file to the local desktop succeeds (allowing me to open the file from there) and sometimes it fails with a message about an "invalid file handle".
If I shorten the name of the zip archive to only eight characters (plus .zip) everything works. The executable, which also has a long name, never presents any problems (I am able to double-click and run it, as well as copy it).
I have no problem accessing these files locally on the server or from a Mac OS X Leopard client (via Samba or AFP).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Erik

"New Message" Window Fails To Open

When I click on "New Message", no window opens up for me to compose an email. Does anyone know of anything that would cause this? How can I resolve this situation? Do I need to reinstall the program? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

HI,
Sounds like your Mail preferences are corrupted.
Launch Mail. From the Mac Mail Menu Bar click Mail/Preferences. Make not of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Mac Mail
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Trash.
The ~ (Tilde) character represents your Home Folder.
Now relaunch Mac Mail and click: New Message.

Recently updated itunes to (10.22.14) when attempting to open itunes, it fails to open and I get this message: itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes.

Just updated itunes to (10.22.14) and itunes won't open. I get message: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. Is there any other way to troubleshoot this other than reinstalling itunes?

With that one in that context, I think we should check for malware.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

On latest upgrade iTunes store fail to open

After upgrading latest upgrade all fine other than unable to access store.

The problems appears to be related to upgrading your iTunes to 10.4.1 in Windows 7 (in my case). You need to do a full uninstall and then reinstall iTunes. You need to uninstall all 6 iTunes related components and in the right order. See this link for more assistance...

Forms runtime window fails to open successfully

Hi all, I have a user who cannot seem to get her Forms window to open correctly. She logs into Oracle. Selects the responsibility, selects the form she needs to open.
The middle window opens and the Forms Runtime window opens. However this Forms window never pppulates. It remains a blank screen.
I have cleared her jar cache and cookies and re-installed JInitiator too.
Nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,
What is the application release?
Do you have any pop-up blocker installed on this machine? If yes, disable all and check then.
Can you find any errors in Jinitiator Console Window? Any error in Apache log files (error_log and access_log)?
What if the same user from some other machine, is she able to open the form?
If none of the above helps, enable trace and see if you get more details about the issue.

I have an issue with the latest project i am working on. When i open the file, the arrange window fails to open

Really strange issue. Only on one project.
If i open the file, i can see logic running through the list of instruments, but the only window that opens is the fixed note length Midi transform window. I cant see the arrange window anywhere!
If i khit play on my midi controller keyboard, i can play the project and hear everything as it should be, but just cant see the arrangement.
If i attempt to close the Midi transform window, it wants to close the who project.
Any ideas on what i do!?
Thanks

Thanks, but i'd already tried that and it didnt work.
I have managed to fix it though, and for anyone else with the same issue, here is what i did:
Find your Logic project file
Right Click on the project, and choose 'Show Contents'
Open the displayed folder 'LgDoc'
Remove the file 'displayState'
open the project, and all should be good!
