ITunes Won't Load Following System Update

I did a System (might have been a Security) Update on my Mac recently and immediately following, I couldn't access iTunes anymore. It just continuously "loading". Finally it will say there is a store error and to try again later. Is anyone having the same problem? Anyone know a solution?

I think iTunes has lost itself!
So many different issues,
Hopefully it will be fixed soon

  • ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

    iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

    Hello Aristoph,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues. If you follow the directions in order it may help:

  • ITunes Won't Load on Windows 7

    ITunes won't load since the last update.  I tried updating to the new beta version, and it still won't load.  I have lost my contacts on my iPhone and now I can't load iTunes.  I do have another computer running an older version of iTunes and would like to transfer my contacts file to the older computer and then sync my iPhone to that computer.  Can someone please help me with transfering my contacts file to the other computer?  It would be nice if iTunes would load on this computer, the one I use all the time but it seems this problem is not being addressed.  Do Apple personnel only address these problems if you pay them for support, or do they fix their software and help their customers?  Here is the error message I get, and as you can see, iTunes is not loading, just giving the error message:
    The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 basic.
    Program: iTunes
    Publisher: Apple Inc.
    Process Identifier (PID): 4652
    Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running.
    iTunes never starts after this message.  I've checked Windows Task Manager to see what programs are running.  I've tried using the iTune comaptibility option but that didn't change anything.  iTunes has always worked, now nothing.  Nothing happens when I plug in my iPhone, or when I start iTunes.  I just want my contacts, that's all!!!  I had always thought I was safe because I always backed up my phone -- boy was i wrong. 

    It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
    many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for 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.
    Open the "System32" 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.)

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

    ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

  • ITunes won't open ; Apple software update error

    When I double click iTunes, the computer thinks briefly (hourglass) then does nothing.  iTunes won't load.
    QuickTime Player opens fine.
    But Apple Software Update now gives me a strange error message.
    Anybody know how to interpret it?  Might it be linked to my iTunes not loading?
    The procedure entry point
    ?CreateProductsFromXML@CSUCatalogObject@@QAEXP6AIPAXIIJ@Z0IV?$CStringT@_WV?$StrT raitMFC@_WV?$ChTraitsCRT@
    _W@ATL@@@@@ATL@@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SoftwareUpdateFiles.dll.

    I'm having similar issues on PC Windows Ultimate 7 32bit.  Husband tells me iTunes updated last night on both his and my laptops (same OS), without asking for confirmation, which I thought was unusual.  Tried opening iTunes various times today and no response.  Restarted and still no improvement.
    Tried repairing and uninstalling iTunes, very slow and glitchy but eventually seemed to have got rid of the software. Downloaded most recent installer link from Apple website and attempted reinstall, but it didn't get past the empty-barred status window.
    Aborted and found an old installer from earlier back-up - version 10.2 something.  Install appeared to run smoothly but I still can't actually open iTunes.
    Any help appreciated as we now have two laptops that won't shut down properly (seems they think iTunes is still running, even though we can't access it or close it in Task Manager), 2 iPhone 4s and an iPad that we can't use properly!
    Apple....are YOU listening?!

  • ITunes won't load on my iPhone 4S after installing ios7

    Since installing iOS 7 iTunes won't load up, I've tried restarting and changing the cookie settings but it still won't load

    Hi Jason,
    It was most decidedly a bad idea. Your "friend" downloaded an illegal, pirated version of the software. So, until tomorrow, you are stuck. When the official version of IOS 7 is released, download it, and pray that everything gets staightened out.
    When the software is officially released tomorrow, download it via the Software Update feature under Settings>General.
    In future, keep in mind that any software that you download to your devices or Mac that is not either from the Apple Apps store, or from a reputable company (like Microsoft or Adobe, etc.) is potentially a hazard. Be vigilant in checking out who the provider is, what kind of support they provide, and how reputable they are. There are a lot of disreputable people out there who don't give a whit about your devices or your Mac, and whose software will do nothing but wreak havoc with them....
    Best of luck tomorrow,

  • Itunes won't load up when i click on it

    itunes won't load up when i click on it , i don't even get the user agreement, i've deleted and downloaded it 5 times! and still no luck, it worked fine b4 the merged it with quicktime, can anybody help me? do i need a old version of itunes?

    hi Kaegod!
    itunes won't load up when i click on it , i don't even get the user agreement, i've deleted and downloaded it 5 times!
    are you getting an error message when you try to launch itunes? if so, what does it say?
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever? if so, let us know the results of the following observations. (this will give us an idea of which of the three main causes of error-less launch failure we should check up on first.)
    reboot the PC. open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so, does it persist in there or disappear after a few seconds?
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • ITunes won't load my iPhone but the colour wheel showed up

    I've been syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes (I'm using MacBook Pro), but about a month ago after an software update in my iPhone, iTunes won't load my iPhone.
    The iTunes recognised my iPhone as the symbol showed up and the colour wheel for loading showed up.
    But the colour wheel showed up forever. I've waited for 2 hours and its still there, and I can't click anything in my iTunes although background music is still playing. I had to force quit my iTunes (but my iTunes works normally if there is no phone connected to it)
    I've updated my mac to OS X Yosemite, latest, and my iPhone to iOS 8.1.3. I tried resetting network setting on my phone.
    PS: I can sync iTunes with my iPod 2nd generation, but not my iPad (same problem).
    Please help, I want to sync my phone to iTunes. iPhoto works with my phone!

    Did you reinstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

    My iTunes won't open after last update. Can anybody help me?

    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.

  • My iTunes won't load on my ipad

    My iTunes won't load on my ipad

    I am experiencing similar problems with my iPhone 4s and 5s, from reading similar posts their are a large number of people having the same issue so I would wait it out before taking the drastic action of a restore, which I have already attempted and has made no odds. I believe it may be an issue on Apple's end.
