Itunes won't load--please help!

I'm having problems getting iTunes to open up at all for me. Yesterday, I was downloading a season of a TV show and in the middle, I started getting a message that I didn't have enough local memory to complete the download. It suggested I delete files in my trash and try again. I did that and iTunes seemed weird, so I shut the computer down and started it up again. After that time, I could not get iTunes to open.
I've tried downloading the newest version (which is already loaded on my imac) again and re-installing, but in the middle of the installation, I get a gray screen that tells me I need to shut my computer down. I've tried installing older versions of iTunes, the same thing happens.
I tried plugging my iPod in to see if that would open iTunes but no.
I tried writing to Apple, got the runaround to call technical support. Called them, they wanted $45 to fix the problem, even though I've spent much more than that in the iTunes store and cannot access my files any longer. My AppleCare expired 3 months ago.
I've Googled and searched here and thus far, I haven't seen any responses that have fixed my problem.
Oh, I looked at the log file and this is what it says:

ANY help is needed, I hate to spend the $$ if I can fix it myself.
Thank you.

The whole system ended up getting wonky. Couldn't keep the computer up long enough to log in. Called Apple and got nowhere without forking over $$. Decided to sleep on it.
Today, used the installation disk, started up by holding down C key, did archive/install. Managed to save almost all of my data. Software update, and voila. iTunes will now open! Almost the whole library came back. I still have the library in the folders, but the TV shows and movies didn't migrate back to iTunes for some reason.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

MacBook won't load - please help?

I'm writing this from my iphone. I bought my MacBook a little over a year ago and recently had to have the keyboard replaced (covered under warranty, nothing I did) in August and it worked fine until this morning. Seemingly over-night, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to respond to a click, finder doesn't work, programs won't load, etc. I've restarted and shut down completely multiple times with no luck. Like I said, it was working great when I went to bed last night, I have no idea what's wrong. :( please help!

If it's "new", I would call AppleCare Support at 1-800-APL-CARE for some direct help. Apple computers come with 90 days of free telephone support for software issues and a year of support for hardware problems. If it won't turn on, it would seem to be a hardware problem you should have Apple check out.

Itunes won't open please help!!!!!!

Please help me I installed my itunes and quicktime, but the itunes wont open. I tried redownloading itunes and I even tried to install an older version of quicktime. It opened than but wouldn't work said that I needed to have the updated version. So I reinstalled the updated versions. And again it just gives me the hour glass symbol than nothing. I do not have norton and no other programs will interfer with it. Can someone please help me?

Hey jimmymohawk,
What is the exact error message? Is it saying that Quicktime needs to updated?
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 should help you get iTunes installed sucessfully. Quicktime will have to be uninstalled, you may have to use the part of the article "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer," then iTunes can be repaired or reinstalled.

ITunes won't work, please help

Hello Apple Discussions. I've been having trouble with my iTunes account. Every time I try to open the program it tells me that an error has occurred and has to close. I've been reading through what other people have tried to get around this problem, and this is what I've tried so far. I tried checking the disk, nothing. I tried opening the Quick Time player and I'm getting the same message that a problem has occurred and has to close. What do I do? Please help. Thank you for your time.

Thanks, scotty!
ModName:ntdll.dll
The Quick Time player is a BEX error.
I'm afraid that malware is the worry with that ntdll.dll/BEX combination, scotty. (Often people who get it also can't get their Adobe Reader to launch either, although that symptom isn't universal.)
I'm not sure which particular beast (or beasts) is the culprit at this stage, but the free version of Malwarebytes has been doing a good job of fixing it for a lot of people.
Download and install Malwarebytes from the following page. Update the Malwarebytes definitions prior to running a scan with Malwarebytes:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
If the Malwarebytes scans pick up infections could you let us know what they are called, please?
If you remove the infections, can you get your iTunes and QuickTime launching again?

My itunes won't work please help..

it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.. I tried to follow the other suggestions but I can't seem to understand it and I get confused..
so I downloaded an update for ipod and just recently I tried to run it and it crashes. I get the "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close..."etc msg. i uninstalled it and reinstalled it, etc like many times but same message. my quicktime crashes too so I tried to uninstall it but it wouldnt so i just deleted the whole folder and tried to reinstall it but it still wouldn't.
i'm totally frustrated i wish i'd never clicked that update button.. if it ever works again I'll just let it be from now on..
if someone can please guide me through.. I'm not good with computers so it's hard for me to understand all that.. i would appreciate it thanks
dont know Windows XP dont know

Hello. I pretty much gave up all hope and wasnt going to try to fix it anymore, and I was glad I had most of my good songs on my ipod already..
but i randomly came to the forums and looked at one person's post, where someone suggested that they install the standalone quicktime.. I knew my problem had something to do with quicktime so, since it wouldn't uninstall, I manually deleted all the quicktime folders and files, execpt one file which refused to delete so I just moved it, then I installed that standalone quicktime installer, and it was successful, and followed up with Itunes installation, and it was smooth sailing from there.. so far.. well I hope that it will stay working.
sorry to say but I won't be touching any more updates.. dont wanna go through this again
thank you

My new installation of iTunes won't open, please help me!

I have tried installing the newest iTunes and uninstalling as it will not open at all. I keep getting the generic Windows message that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I tried uninstalling Quicktime and using the Apple quick fixes for iTunes version 7.0 not working but nothing helps. Anyone?

+I keep getting the generic Windows message that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.+
let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
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?)

Dreamweaver Won't Load - Please Help

When dreamweaver is loading it gets to "intializing extension
data" and then closes. I have tried repairing, uninstalling and
reinstalling, and even reimaging my machine with a fresh intall of
xp professional. When I reinstalled dreamweaver after that it
worked for about two days and then all the sudden this started
happening again.
Has anyone had this happen to them, or know what is going on?
Thank You

Find your configuration .dat file and delete it. Here is the
path to mine to
get you on the right road:
C:\Documents and Settings\Walt F.
Schaefer.DESKTOP\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\
My file name is WinFileCache-8D991465.dat, Yours may be
different but it
will end in .dat.
After you delete it when you start DW it will create a new
,dat file. For
some reason this file is easily corrupted and often has to be
deleted when
DW refuses to load/start.

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.)

ITunes won't load RSS feed

ITunes won't load my RSS feed to post my new shows. I have 4 out so far but ITunes only shows 2. I've pinged, I've been over the RSS feed numerous times and cannot find anything wrong. It loads for other sites without problem.
My show is For The Horde Radio. The link is
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=262064691
Can someone please let me know why this is? I've sent emails asking for assitance but haven't heard any reply back. Why can't Itunes load the new RSS feed?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

You might want to use Feedvalidator.org (a free service) to check your feed.
It looks like you have a few errors such as an "&" in a title that isn't escaped properly (add an amp; right after the & to fix).
You'll probably need to modify the very top of your feed to make it read:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
and make sure that the server is serving it up properly as UTF-8.
Correct the errors that Feedvalidator reports, keep running it through there until it gives you a "congratulations" that it's a valid RSS feed.

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!

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 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--please help!
