ITunes won't launch with Leopard

Hi!
I recently purchashed and installed Leopard on my MacBook, and ever since the OS upgrade I cannot launch iTunes. At first I kept getting an annoying error message (8791) with an older version of iTunes (v7.4.2). I asked for help here in the discussions forum, and was advised according to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1207611&tstart=0 - which unfortunately left me at a dead end. Then I figured an updated version might do the trick, but after installing v7.5 iTunes still will not launch - with the updated version I don't even get an error message - it just ignores the launch command all together...
Anyone - please help!

I am having the same problem and have followed the same advice with the same results. In addition my finder is missing the searchlight field and reboots every time I try to open finder preferences. I also can't open photoshop. I get the message "Could not initialize Photoshop because there is not enough memory (RAM). I'm running a macbook pro. I don't know if this additional info helps but I am desperate.

  • Ical won't launch with Leopard

    Just installed Leopard and now says I can't use this version of iCal with my new operating system. Is there another version to download?

    magwill,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What version of iCal are you attempting to use? It should be Version 3.0.5.
    Is the iCal you are attempting to use in your Macintosh HD/Applications folder?
    How did you install Leopard?
    Have you attempted to "Try Disk Utility" to Repair Disk Permissions?
    There is no download of iCal available, but it can be accomplished using your Leopard installation disk. This is the procedure: (but I recommend that you answer my questions before proceeding)
    1. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
    2. The disk will appear on your desktop.
    3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
    4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
    5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
    6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
    7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
    8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
    9. Select (✓) iCal.
    10. Click (Continue).
    11. After iCal has been reinstalled, download and reinstall the OS X 10.5.5 Combo Update to bring iCal up to the most recent version.

  • ITunes won't launch if iPod is connected but ejected

    If I connect my iPod (set to Disk Use, no auto-launch of iTunes), then eject it through the Finder, iTunes won't launch. It hangs with no window until force quit or the iPod is unplugged. I've noticed this through several versions of iTunes.
    Note that I found this topic already in existence here, but I felt that the issue needed a bump to the top of the list.

    Does your quicktime work perfectly? I got that message when I tried to open iTunes 5 a couple times, and my quicktime wasn't being sensed by the computer at all. It was just there.

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL761
    If you install that does that clear up the iTunes trouble?

  • 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:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    (Given that you're not here to troubleshoot, I'll bid you adieu, and desubscribe from this particular topic.)

  • Address Book Won't Launch in Leopard

    Suddenly, Address Book won't launch in Leopard. It worked after initial installation but now won't open. I have tried re-syncing with .Mac, re-starting. Address Book info (e-mail addresses) is still accurate and available in Mail.
    I also installed Leopard on my Mac Book. No problems, Address book works fine.
    How can I fix?

  • 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

    My iTunes won't launch. It will give and error code 13014. How can I fix this?

    Hi tuzas2,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some applicable information below for you:
    iPhone and iPod touch: An unknown error (13014), (13136), or (13213) may occur after updating to iTunes 8.0.1 or later
    Solution 1
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    Solution 2
    Quit and reopen iTunes. If the issue continues, then restart your computer.
    Solution 3
    Quit iTunes, temporarily disable the anti-virus security software on your computer, then reopen iTunes and try to sync your device. If iTunes successfully syncs your iPhone or iPod touch, consult the anti-virus software vendor.
    Solution 4
    Turn off Genius in iTunes in the Genius sidebar (choose View > Hide Genius Sidebar).
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:
    Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
    Hope this helps.
