Itunes won;t open and can't download new apps

Hi guys,
I've got a huge problem and I hope I can solve it here. I ve got an ipod touch for smth like 2 months and all of sudden, when i connect it to the PC , itunes isn't starting automatically and i have to do it manually, even though until now it did open automatically. Also, a bigger problem is that I can't download new apps and i can;t update the ones i already have... when i try to do it, it just shows the sign of "waiting" and it frozes like this, so i can't use the app anymore... i tried to reset all settings, to reset the network settings, i searched for a lot of answers on the internet, but my problem wasn;t solved. So, if u can please tell me what should I do, considering that i haven;t tried to erase all content and settings and also my itunes is up to date. If i missed a detail you want to know, let me know, i ll answer, but i hope i wrote everything thatwould be useful in giving me an answer. Thank you!!

I had a similar problem and ran across this old post from ilounge. I am running Win 7 and lost my playlists to the new upgrade. Then my old ipod died before I could hook it up. When I followed this insruction it restored all my songs and playlists (so there was duplication but I got everything back). Might work for you.

I'm running windows XP and seem to have found a partial solution that does not involve vague half assed directions =P
Open iTunes, go to file, import, and select the latest "Temp" file, I got most of my playlists and songs back that way.
Edit: This file is in the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes folder

Then restore the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

When trying to open Firefox on XP laptop, says FFx 3+ needed; won't open, so can't download new version.

This is being written on my iMac. Problem computer is my Toshiba XP laptop on the same (hard-wire) line via a router. The iMac is up to date; the iMac is used for all current Internet activity. I use the laptop for technical work, and only rarely need Internet.
I have an old version of Firefox (<3) on the laptop. Updated the Java plug-in on the laptop a month ago. Now, every time I try to open Firefox, I get error "Needs Firefox >3 to open", and won't open Firefox. So I can't download Firefox >3! Can I buy a disk?

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

ITUNES WON'T OPEN AND GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE HELP

my iTunes won't open, and instead pops up a window saying:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)."
Something similar to this is happening with my mac DVD player. When I try to open that, it won't open and says:
"There was an initialization error. The audio output device could not be found. Please make sure speakers or an appropriate output device is connected. [-70027]"
doesn't come in to handy when you are about to watch a new episode of Lost .
anyway, I saw the speaker thing and went online. Any sound online (music, popups) can all make sounds - so my computer isnt permanetly muted. I've also restarted my computer, done the system updates, and gone into system prefereces to mess around with the volume. The computer recognizes the internal speakers. HELP!

Hey,
Here are the steps that should help:
1. Close all applications.
2. Go into the Finder>Home>Library>Preferences
3. Delete 'com.apple.iDVD.plist' and 'com.apple.iTunes.plist'
4. Restart Immediatley.
This should work. Cheers, Ricky.

TS1717 My Itunes won't open and I am getting message "the file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be ready because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Any suggestions?

My iTunes won't open and I am getting message "the file iTunes library .itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

Since downloading the new IOS 5.0.1 I can't download any apps and can't download any app updates. Why?

Take a look at your remaining memory make sure you have enough memory to download the apps, also try restarting your iPhone by hold down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

HT4009 where is the agree button on I phone 4 to agree to new updated terms and conditions for downloading new apps? read all info all 54pages but no agree button at end?

where is the agree button on I phone 4 to agree to new updated terms and conditions for downloading new apps? read all info all 54pages but no agree button at end?

Try first signing out of the iTunes and App Store in Settings>iTunes and App Stores (tap on your apple ID and choose sign out) then sign back in.
Then do a hard reset, hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you see a white Apple then release.
Then go ahead and try again, should work.
I hope this helps!

From Apple Support...
Here are troubleshooting steps that should help you fix the problem.
1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
2) Tap Settings.
3) Tap Safari.
4) Tap Clear History.
5) Tap the Clear History button.

ITunes won't open and a Windows error message pops up

I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2.12 awhile ago. It worked fine the first time. Ever since then, whenever I plug in my ipod, my laptop recognizes and says it's syncing but iTunes won't open. I double click on iTunes and I get an error message from Windows saying that an error has occurred and it needs to close iTunes but it never even opens up. (The message doesn't give any error codes.) I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all its components and then reinstalling it but I get the same error message. I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP 3. Please help. Thanks.

Many thanks.
Yes, it is an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error. The ModName: dnssd. dll The ModVer: 2.0.5.0 Offset: 0000246c
With that one, by way of experiment, let's try disabling your Bonjour Service.
In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?
