ITunes won't launch since maverick update on late 2010 macbook air

have tried downloading and reinstalling itunes on my late 2010 macbook air, but since maverick update itunes will not lauch and has to be force quit in order to close, this happens instantly on launch??

My machine was running quite slow too, especially boot time. Repairing permissions and zapping PRAM seemed to help out a lot. Further, if you want, you can disable hibernation and delete sleep image. I realize that most that run a Mac don't expect to do any tweaking, and hopefully Apple will come out with a SP soon that 'fixes' some of the issues that many are having. I don't think having 2GB of memory is the main issue, as many with 8GB of RAM are having the same issue. I did a lot of tweaking and Lion is working as well as Snow Leopard was on my MBA 11" with 2GB of RAM. You can also successfully run monoligual on your MBA, get rid of language packs you don't need and save 1.5GB.

  • Itunes won't launch since update

    Seems like i have the same problem as a lot of people.
    Since last update itunes won't launch
    Just get a white screen and the blue circle going around the pointer.
    Have tried the complete unistalll and reinstall without success
    One thing i noticed is that when it freezes and i open task manager to close it down it says 32 bit next to itunes not 64 bit?
    Is the wrong version being downloaded?

    Without trying to be funny here, why should the problem be with my user account or my PC!
    Without trying to be funny, you've accidentally succeeded in being a bit funny here.
    This is a user-to-user troubleshooting forum. Folks come here to troubleshoot their problems. So we, quite naturally assume that's what you were trying to do, and reply to try to help you fix it. The reason why you see so many people here saying there are problems is that this is where people come if they have problems and want to fix them.
    If you believe the problem is all at Apple's end, and would like to register a sort of complaint with them (rather than do any troubleshooting of your problem), then it makes a heck of a lot more sense to contact Apple directly via the product feedback pages. (Because this is primarily an user-to-user forum, there's no guarantee an Apple person will see your post here. They will read your feedback via the form, although they also say they will not respond.) Here's a link through to the iTunes product feedback form:

    (Given that you're not here to troubleshoot, I'll bid you adieu, and desubscribe from this particular topic.)

  • 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

  • The Sims 2 won't launch since I updated to Quicktime 7.6 on OS 10.4

    Last night I installed Apple's latest Quicktime release for Mac (Quicktime 7.6). This resulted in an inability to launch The Sims 2. I tried reinstalling the Sims 2 (http://support.aspyr.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=552). By the way this solution will also help anyone having problems running the Sims 2 on OS 10.5 as well.
    However simply reinstalling The Sims 2 will not fix the problem if you have updated to Quicktime 7.6. Unfortunately I found the only way to get the Sims running again on OS 10.4 was to remove Quicktime 7.6 and to reinstall an earlier version (Quicktime 7.5.5 or earlier). This is not as easy as removing Quicktime 7.6 from your Applications folder and com.apple.QuickTime.plist in the User/Library/Preferences or using a program like Appzapper (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appzapper.html). When you go to reinstall an earlier version of Quicktime it will say, "unable to install because a more recent version is already installed".
    So, the only way to reinstall an earlier version of Quicktime is to reinstall the system software (in my case OS 10.4) using the reinstall and archive option on the OS 10.4 Installer DVD.
    Hope this saves some of you some time finding a solution!

    "So, the only way to reinstall an earlier version of Quicktime is to reinstall the system software (in my case OS 10.4) using the reinstall and archive option on the OS 10.4 Installer DVD."
    Okay, I'm a little slow, but how did you do that? I don't have much experience with the Installer DVD.
    Also, thanks so much for posting this. I thought it had something to do with my recent upgrade but didn't remember what I had upgraded. It was QuickTime, and I've spent forever trying to fix other things. You are my hero.

  • When will Apple come with an update so 2010 Macbook Airs again can use the Appstore?

    the problem appears in Lion and Mountain Lion and came with the last update to the operating system

    well, Apple fixed the problem and if so, thank you.
    I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, and I did the following:y
    formatted the SSD disk and installed Snow Leopard again from the usb-stick and made the updates
    Then I made a partition called Lion and downloaded Lion from App Store in Snow Leopard and installed it on the partition called Lion. The version of Safari with it was 5.1.6 and App Store worked. Then I made a copy of Safari to the desktop, updated Lion (except Safari). Then I transferred settings etc with Transfer assistant from my Mac mini to my Macbook Air in Lion. Safari 5.1.6 was not working, but App Store worked and Firefox did.
    Then I downloaded Mountain Lion once more from App Store and installed it over Lion.
    And ... hooray.... Safari is version 6 and App Store is working

  • Itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    Are you using Leopard?
    If so, let's try installing a QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website:

    If you install that does that clear up the iTunes trouble?

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • Dreamweaver 2014 won't launch in Mavericks... has anyone experienced this problem?

    I downloaded the new 2014 version of Dreamweaver today & it won't launch in Mavericks... also dowloaded it to my PC & that works OK. Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Harald,
    Looks like this is happening because of some issue during installation of the product.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Un-install DWCC 2014. Note: Before un-installing, I would suggest you to backup any user preferences files, extensions or site settings.
    2. Log out from your Adobe ID login in creative cloud.
    3. Log-in back again and then download and install the product.
    I am suggesting it since the same process helped one another user. Hence seeing if you are also encountering the same issue.

  • GarageBand won't launch since last upgrade

    Hello
    I haven't been able to launch GarageBand since I updated it from the "Software Update" program. It downloaded around 1 Gig of instruments and loops and won't launch since then, jumps once in the dock and stays still.
    I tried deleting prefs and it didnt do anything. I created another user account and it couldn't launch it from there either.
    I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or knew a way to solve it... since I just bought a midi keyboard! Just my luck.
    PB G4 10.4.11 and GB 4.1.2 (248.7)

    Freed up some disk space, ran a couple of maintenance programs, now works fine.

  • 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.

    Sorted! Panic over. I ran the download again and everythin seems OK.

  • Who can fix my Ipad 3 because it won't charge since IOS update?

    Ipad 3 won't charge since IOS update, who can fix this expensive item?
    Thank you

    Try a different electrical out.
    Make sure you are using the same power adapter and cable that came with the iPad.
    And try charging via USB to a computer.
    If nothing above helped, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restore the device > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If nothing above helps, take your iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations
