ITunes won't launch after most recent upgrade

Hello,
I recently installed the iTunes upgrade that appeared on my Software Update application. However, now iTunes will not launch, meaning that when I try to open the application, the icon in the dock bounces once and then nothing further happens. I have tried downloading iTunes directly from the Apple website, but the behavior is exactly the same. What do I have to do to get iTunes to work again?
(BTW, I'm glad to see that the updates are new and improved...)
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you open iTunes from within the Applications folder instead of from the Dock? Does the same thing happen?

  • My itunes won't open after most recent update

    I dont know what to do!  I have tried restarting nd reinstaling itunes but it still wont open

    I have the same issue.  Yesterday I allowed Window 7 64 bit to download a couple of updates and and service pack for Office 2010.  I have a new iPad 2 which I had not synced yet (we have multiple user accts set up on system and sync 2 iphone 4s and an Ipad 1st gen with no issue prior to this).  I opened iTunes and it indicated new version 10.4 was available so I updated it also.  After these updates my system became mush.  After attempting to start iTunes, the itunes.exe process loads but it sits there and hogs up memory and CPU.  I can come back to computer 10 min later and maybe it eventually opens but is very slow and eventually hangs up.  I then have issues on trying to kill the iTunes process in task manager.  Haven't even gotten close to syncing the new iPad 2.  I checked firewall settings, other services, tried running in other compatibility modes, and then checked on this forum for detailed instructions on the best way to uninstall all of the apple programs in specific order and then reinstall.  Nothing works.  So basically I have an $829 apple tablet that is 50% useless becasue I can't even sync it with my music, movies, and books.
    I have attempted to go back to version 10.3 with no luck either.  I am close to just returning my iPad 2.  My next attempt will be to do a system restore prior to the Windows 7 updates that I installed and then try installing iTunes 10.4 first before the windows updates to see if there is some connection.  I have read many posts on here where apparently many people are having issues with v10.4, especially on Win 7 64 bit systems, but it seems that Apple really hasn't addressed anything with this.  I would just like to get it working and sync the new iPad.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

  • ITunes won't launch after upgrade

    I just downloaded the new iTunes upgrade onto my Macbook, and now iTunes won't launch. It just bounces once and then does nothing. I've gone through the uninstall and reinstall process, but still no dice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Also, since I uninstalled it, did I lose everything I'd previously downloaded to iTunes?!)
    **I just realized I've accidentally posted this under the Windows discussion. Sorry.

  • Itunes won't launch after using norton utilities

    Hi,
    I used Norton disk doctor and now itunes won't launch. How do I fix this?
    Many thanks!

    Get rid of Norton's, it's far more trouble than it's worth. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you run Disk Doctor or the other parts of the suite, and is why they got out of the Utilities market for the Mac.
    1. Try repair Permissions with Disk Utility
    2. Try Trash the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder
    3. Try Re-install iTunes. Move the app from the Applications Folder to the Trash, then go to HD / Library / Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iTunes in the name.

  • ITunes won't launch after upgrade - says files are missing

    I had trouble upgrading to version 6 but disabled my anti virus software (McAfee) and the upgrade seemed to run OK. After restarting my computer iTunes won't run as it says files are missing and I need to install them. It was all working fine before. I have over 4200 tracks and I'm worried I've lost them although they are all still on my iPod. What do I do next? Please help.

  • ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

    I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows).  Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6.  Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11.  But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1.  Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it?  Thank you.

    I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

  • No play/audio after most recent upgrade

    I upgraded to the most recent itunes a couple days ago, and ever since iTunes will only play videos, but very choppy and without audio. Songs will not play at all, and in general itunes is moving very sluggishly. This problem has affected all audio on my computer, as no programs produce sound. Connecting to headphones or speakers also does not change anything. Help!

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • ITunes won't launch after latest update

    Hi.
    I've just downloaded and installed (through system update) the latest iTunes version and now it won't launch. It worked perfectly fine fine before the update but now it won't open. Icon bounces then just stops... Any ideas!? Thank you!

    Thanks for the replies...
    It seems alot of people are having this trouble, I do have shapeshifter on my system, I'll try adding iTunes to the exclude list and see if that does anything. I'll try your suggestion with the library folder, does that mean to trash the iTunes library folder or just move it out of where it is? What I don't get is how it can be corrupted, it worked perfectly before the update

  • Itunes won't launch after trying to install podutil s/w

    I purchased the ipod version of podutil. When installing the distribution s/w, it said "Podutil needs to run an application in order to determine if compatible with itunes". I agreed but it never returned any response as complete or unable to complete. Itunes showed in dock as running but never launched. When I tried to force quit, it would not quit. Even when I force quit in finder it would not quit. Now when ever I try to launch itunes it doesn't launch but it shows in dock as trying to run. It still doesn't respond when I try to force quit. If I attach the ipod, itunes still does not launch. Ipod shows up on desk top, I can launch podutil. I tried to run an upgrade for itunes found by software update (as an attempt to repair) but it locks up during update process.
    Has anyone seen this lock-up using the software? My OS version my be off a bit, I'm sending this from PC at work so I can't check, but its last version of Jaguar.

  • IPhoto won't open after most recent automatic update

    Hello,
    After my most recent software update, iPhoto will not open. I click on the icon on the desktop (Macbook Pro) and nothing happens. Mac OS X (10.6.8) is my operating system.
    Any help will be appreciated. I am worried I have lost all of my photos.
    Sincerely,
    Megan.

    If you control-click on your iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Contents" there should be a folder in there named "Masters" - it should have all of your his-res photos in it.
    Not certain why you're having problems just opening iPhoto - you may want to take your question to the iPhoto forum - where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.

  • Itunes Won't Launch After Licensing Agreement

    Whenever I try to launch Itunes, by double clicking the icon, the licensing agreement flashes by very fast and then Itunes does not launch. I believe I had 6.0, but when that wasn't launching, I downloaded the new version (7.0), I believe. I've noticed quicktime is similar and will not launch. I've deleted and reinstalled multiple times, but the same thing keeps happening. Any suggestions?

    with those symptoms, the first thing we need to check for is a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

  • ITunes won't launch after update

    Automatic Updates installed ITunes 11.1.3 and now my ITunes won't launch

    Sorry. I thought that would work.
    It's clear that Apple has a problem on their hands. I have sent my information to Apple, which sounds remarkably similar to yours. Hopefully by the time we wake in the morning, Apple will have some answers.
    Cheers,

  • ITunes won't launch after copied from old computer

    I copied my iTunes folder from my old computer to an external hard drive. I then copied that folder to a new laptop. My iTunes folder is showing two additional folders - iTunes and iTunes media (has all my downloads listed). However, iTunes won't open at all - I don't even get an error message. Any ideas?
