Itunes won't launch after restoring from backup

I have retored my machine from time capsule backup, and now iTunes won't start up. The icon launches, but nothing happens

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 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?

  • ILife 08 will not launch after restore from backup

    I had installed iLife 08 on a new mbp, when the screen stopped working so I thought I would try reinstalling the operating system. I backed up all my apps using apples .mac backup to a hard drive, reinstalled, and then tried to restore the apps. My problem is that none of the 08 versions of ilife are opening now, includiong iphoto. I don't have my install cds with me, otherwise I would use those. Does anybody know what to do so that these apps will launch? They appear for a second in the dock and then vanish... Thanks for any help.

    iLife requires 10.4.10, I believe. Have you updated back to that OS?

  • Applications won't launch after restore from dmg file

    Hi,
    I have setup a new iMac with latest Software updates and have installed Microsoft Office 2011 and Final Cut Pro. I then used Disk Utility to create an image (dmg file) of the iMac, this image I stored on an External Hard Disk. I then connected the Ext HD to another same spec. iMac, booted it from the OSX install disk, launched Disk Utility and restored the image to the other Mac.
    The restore completed okay, rebooted the Mac off the internal HD. I renamed this machine and then bound it into Active Directory. Now no matter who I log on as, whether local administrator or Windows user, when I try and launch an Office application or Final Cut Pro, I get a message stating, "The (application name) installation did not complete successfully because there was a problem with the installer." 
    The application then does not launch.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may have occurred?

    Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.

  • After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

    After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.  Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days.  I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

    Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem.  I tried it and it didn't work for me.  Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

  • How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

    I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
    How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

    When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup.  It's like your phone went back in time. 
    Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever.  There is no way to get these data back.

  • Every time I connect my iphone 4 to itunes it wants to either restore from backup or set up as a new phone.

    every time I connect my iphone 4 to itunes it wants to either restore from backup or set up as a new phone. I've restored it 5 times already, i don't want to lose any of my data. Any ideas?

    I had the same issue. Tried unplugging whilst it was restoring about 5 times - didnt work. I ended up clicking "set up as new iphone" and TADA it worked. I can now edit on itunes. I do however have every single app I've EVER downloaded on my phone. Apple should really make it so they go back on exactly how they were before!

  • After restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

    after restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

    Hi there.
    Try some basic trouble shooting steps first, before looking into some advanced issues that might be causing this. The first thing I would try, is holding down the power button and home button at the same time until the screen turns off on you. See what steps you can take from there, if any.
    Kind Regards.

  • After restoring from backup on a new phone (same model, just replacement) all my apps are showing as waiting....I have sync'd but still without any joy - this has been going on for hours

    It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
    There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

  • Having a hard time rebooting iPhone 5 after restore from backup!

    Here is my problem, my new iphone 5 did a restore from backup from my 4S.  It took awhile because I have a lot of apps.  Unfortunately not all the folders were intact.  I heard that you have to do a double restore from backup.  Once I did my 2nd restore from backup, the phone goes through a reboot process.  I get the apple logo and then a blank screen.  I have tried holding the home and top button with and without it being plugged in.  I got it working and did a restore from backup again, thinking the folders would be restored.  It did not work again.  After trying about 5 or 6 times, I finally got the phone to come up again.  Unfortunately I still have not gotten my folders back they way it was.  It's partial and now I don't want to try to do another restore from backup.  So I guess itunes is still  not fixed in terms of restoring apps and folders they way it is supposed to be.  Anyone else have this issue?

    Sorry to say my friend, but any second you going to lose from that moment on is a lost second. I d like to wish you luck and after all said and done - get back here and tell me if I was wrong. BTW if those were text group messages, your phone was never a problem.

  • Bug in iphone 4s - Red icon shows after restore from backup

    Hi All,
    I think i have found a bug with the iphone 4s.
    If i restore to new with the latest software 5.0.1 the little red icon does not show on the settings tab but then if i do a restore from backup it shows.
    This is annoying and is clearly a bug as the phone is upto date.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    I think it might be because i installed the update from 5.0 to 5.0.1 via the phone and not the pc.
    Cheers

    If you have back up your notes, you can restore from the backup.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    1. Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
    2. If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup
    Solution from Apple.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used iTunes Data Recovery and it worked well. It's easy to use. Just a few clicks you can get all your photos back. Here is a step by step guide for you: http://x.co/3Q8U3

  • No Camera App after restore from backup on iphone 4

    OK so I backedup my iphone 3g which was on 312 on itunes 9.2 before my iphone 4 arrived today. I restored from backup and all of my apps restored. I can't seem to find the camera app! It's driving me crazy that I am trying restore the iphone 4 as a new phone but downloading the iOS4 firmware for iphone 4 is taking more than 3 hours for some reason.
    Has anyone seen this?

    Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me. How can I continue to use idevices?????

  • After restoring from backup, iPad hangs after sliding to unlock-I have to reset every time to get it to work--Any fix?

    I have a first generation iPad.
    After having crashing issues I restored from backup.
    Since restore, whenever I slide to unlock, it hangs for few minutes.  Then I get a pictrue of the spinning circle but is doesn't spin---just hangs there--frozen.
    I have to reset the iPad to get it to function every time (holding down the home button/on-off button).
    Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

    Seems to have something to do with the passcode.  I turned the passcode off and now there are no issues.

  • 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.
