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.
Regards
TD

  • 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?!)

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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?

  • Itunes won't launch after installing - error

    I've tried intalling and reinstalling different versions iTunes, including 7.6.2 up to the latest version. They all seem to install fine, but when I try and launch iTunes I get the following error message:
    'The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'My Music' folder.'
    I'm running Windows XP, with Service Pack 3 installed. Any advice from anyone?
    Thanks

    Hello
    By any chance when you go to My Documents - My Music. Does the My Music folder
    1. Exist?
    2. Does it have a music note on it?
    If it does so far everything looks good.
    If you followed the previous articles posted earlier. I would like to recommend one last article. Which will assist with a full clean up of Apple Software and folders.
    Hopefully you will only need to use this article as a last resort. Incase other options posted are not leading anywhere.

  • ITunes won't launch after downloading iTunes 7.1.1

    While downloading iTunes 7.1.1, I received an error but the process continued. Unfortunately, now every time I try to launch iTunes, it comes up momentary... then shows a message... "Updating iTunes library"... then locks up. It's happened 20+ times and I have restarted my computer 10+ times trying different ways to help the problem. Nothing is working... anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    it comes up momentary... then shows a message... "Updating iTunes library"... then locks up.
    that is typically caused by a problem with one of your content files.
    tracking down which file(s) are causing the issue can be a pain. but you could try the "Check for content files with issues" section from the following document:
