ITunes won't load after recent upgrade

I see I'm not the only one with this problem. I've been through the FAQ and removed and downloaded iTunes and Quicktime separately multiple times, but iTunes won't load. It will be difficult to buy more songs like this.
I've a Sigma Tel Audio driver installed by Dell. I'm running McAfee anti virus. Let me know what other info will help somebody to help me solve this.
Thanks.

a few questions before proceeding.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if no error message, a few more preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

Itunes won't load after purchasing Quick time Pro

I purchased QuickTime Pro and now my itunes won't load. My version is 7.6.9. I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes. I have tried this repeatedly but no luck. any suggestions?

I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes.
That suggests that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

My iTunes won't open after partial upgrade.

Hello, I recently tried to download the latest version of Itunes but got a message during the middle of download saying I didn't have enough memory to complete it. I immediately hit cancel and now my Itunes won't open! Everytime I try to open it I get a message saying, "A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Quick Time." I removed some programs to free up some space. I reinstalled Quick Time but I'm still getting the same message. I found my library under My Music, iTunes, iTunes Music, but how can i get it to open. Can someone help, please?

I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

Itunes won't open after software upgrade

I just upgraded itunes form version 4.x to version 6. on my girlfriends windows laptop.
Now itunes won't open past the licence agreement.
Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
I looked at this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
this didn't resolve the issue.
When itunes quits there are no error messages.
Any ideas
Thanks

hi Matthew!
Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsover? are you seeing similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
if so, check for a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

Won't start after recent upgrade

Started the recent upgrade. A depiction of the apple tv and usb cable connected on one end to tv and other end pointing to iTunes icon then showed up on the tv screen. Let run overnight and still will not connect. I am pretty sure battery in remote is fine; remote was working fine before the upgrade.

The update has failed.
You need to connect to iTunes on a computer with a cable.
Using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:

Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

ITunes won't open after installing upgrade and restarting

When I click on my iTunes icon in the dock, iTunes won't open. Instead, a message box comes up: "The file iTunes "library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
Just before this happened, I imported a lot of music into my library. Now iTunes only opens if I pIug my ipod into my Mac.
Is there any way I can get iTunes to open by clicking on the icon, as it used to do?

What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
(don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
RESTART the computer
Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

ITunes won't load after upgrading to Mavericks. Error 13010. I have tried deleting the Genius library file, still no luck.

I found some feeds where people had deleted the genius library .itdb and were able to fix the problem. It did not fix mine. Still unable to access iTunes!

The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

Mpd won't start after recent upgrade

Hi!
After one of the last upgrades my mpd service does not start anymore.

If I start mpd directly with mpd --no-daemon as root or via sudo it starts without any problems.
Group 92 is audio and the user mpd is part of that group. Do you have any ideas what is going wrong here?

Systemd now starts the service as the mpd user by default (see /usr/lib/systemd/system/mpd.service). You can restore the previous behaviour by creating /etc/systemd/system/mpd.service.d/user.conf with the following content:
[Service]
User=
(will run mpd as root, which then has the capabilities to su to another user)
Though I'd recommend that you just let systemd handle the permissions setting rather than mpd. Comment out the user/group declarations in your mpd.conf and change the User declaration to the user/uid you want. Add in a Group declaration if you want too, though I don't think running processes as the audio group is a Good Idea™.

ITunes Won't Start After Airport Upgrade

After running the latest upgrade to Airport Utility and upgrading the firmware on my Airport Extreme, I lost all access to my iTunes library that is housed on a Drobo attached to the Airport. When trying to start iTunes, I get error "13005".
I normally access my library from both a Windows XP/SP3 box and a MacBook. I have tried the following steps:
1) deleted genius.itdb and extras.itdb.
2) Repaired iTunes install.
3) Removed and reinstalled iTunes.
4) Plugged the Drobo directly into the Windows box (no airport or USB hub).
Still no love. I was able to rebuild my library via my MacBook, and I created a Windows XP user account which can successfully run iTunes and see the library once I rebuilt it. However my main XP account (with Admin access) still cannot start iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Fogbert

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218
I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

ITunes won't open after recent computer repairs

I have an old iMac G3. Recently it refused to boot up, so I took it to a tech guy who saved the stuff I had on the hard drive to an external drive (a 500GB Lacie d2 quadra). He then restored the iMac. When I try to open iTunes I get a message that says, "The file 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I have tried to move the iTunes application that is on the external hard drive (which seems to be a different version than the one on my computer) to my computer's hard drive. Each time it seems to work, but then I can't open iTunes. When I click on the icon nothing happens. What happened to the version of iTunes that is compatible with the files in my iTunes library? How can I figure out what version of iTunes I need, and where can I get it? Thanks.

Itunes won't load after installing

I had itunes installed on my computer in the past, but after much trouble I removed it. (Was told that it would be easy to install again.) I had built up quite up quite an extensive library for my wife and I's ipod classics. I have tried several times to re-install itunes and it seems to have installed ok. When I try and open itunes a window pops up telling me that "itunes has encountered a problem and needed to close". I don't know what I have done wrong and I have NO idea of how to fix it.... Please help.

First check to see if QUicktime is OK, iTunes will not run if Quicktime does not.
If Quicktime owrks use this article:
Xp
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
Vista version
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
If Qicktime does not work, give the error message.
Then try to open QUicktime preferences from the control panel(classic view). Give any error message in full.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
These are bad news for QUicktime.

Try tunring your hole device off. If this does not help I would take it back to the store you got it from and ask. Hope this helped
