Itunes won't open and neither will microsoft internet explorer :I

Hi
My Itunes hasn't been able to open for months, the first time it happened was about the time my Internet explorer stopped working for no reason and my msn messenger won't connect either. Could these be linked I have a had a few I.T. keen people look at it with no solution... I have tried removing and reinstalling Itunes and msn Messenger but nothing has worked. When I click on it, it just won't open... any ideas?

okay.
some 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?
hey, i recently been having troubles with opening iTunes
i thought you could help because you suggested something that is causing me trouble (number 1: Norton 2005)
i click to open iTunes.exe but nothing happens. the process appears in the Task manager, but i cannot terminate it. And upon opening, my Norton session manager ends with an error
can you help me?

Firefox won't open and neither will Profile Manager.

I running Windows 7 Professional. So about two weeks ago I had suddenly was unable to open Firefox and since then have been trying to solve it myself to no avail. the Firefox process opens in the task-manager, however, the browser window does not appear. When trying to open Firefox again, another process opens and the same thing happens. Processes just keep opening and that's it. I have tried the Profile manager but it only opened once and I have been unable to get it to open again. Every once in a while Firefox actually opens when I launch it, but when I close it to see if it works again it does not. Firefox does open in Safe-mode with Networking with no problems consecutively. While it was in safe-mode I ran a full system scan with Nortan Antivirus and cleared about thirty threats but after the restart Firefox still won't open, only processes. I have tried deleting Mozilla from the x86 path and cleared My local and roaming Mozilla appdata, then re installed with 34.0.5. I have tried opening Firefox in safe mode but it won't open at all, only the process again.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My firewall has been off for ages. And I did a check with Nortan. It didn't help.
EDIT: Turns out I was just being lazy I guess. I had read this post before on another user and it didn't work for him so I didn't try it. AWD did clean a lot of stuff but didn't work, Malwarebytes however cleaned more things and suddenly Firefox opens each time I try. Not sure if it is permanent yet.

Trial won't open and neither will my account

I recently downloaded the trial for photoshop but it refuses to open. I had no probelms with the download but every time I try opening the program its tells me that I need to renew my subscription, and this is based on the adobe account of the previous laptop owner. It does give me the option to sign in to my account, but everytime I sign in it redirects me to a serial number screen. I've deleted all the previous adobe programs under the previous owner's account but that did not help at all, it still tells me the same thing. I am obviously missing something here. Any help would be much appreciated.

This won't work. You cannot have a trial and the same product serialized at the same time. Even flushing out the activation data as explained here won't help, as the encrypted activation keys are stil lstored on your system. Sorry, but short of reinstalling your operating system wit ha full format of the drive there is no realistic way that this will ever work.

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.

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.

ITunes won't open and my iTunes Folder is missing

My iTunes wouldn't open so I tried removing iTunes and Quicktime along with my iTunes folder, and now iTunes folder won't come back after reinstalling iTunes. Also iTunes won't open still. Any help would be great, thanks!

i have re-installed / maintenance install and the magical itunes folder in my music has re-appeared, itunes alas will still not open and still claims this folder in my music is not there. i have also deleted that src folder thing mentioned on the support page as a possible problem so that folder is not the cause of my current troubles.

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?

Itunes won't open and tells me it is incompatible

iTunes won't open, have tried everything and nothing works. When I do a troubleshoot on it, it gives me a incompatible message, how can this be repaired???

Itunes won't open and no solutions have worked so far

I hate to add another topic about this but I can't get my Itunes to open. I have tried almost every solution on the other topics like this and nothing has worked. When I tried to open it the hourglass appears and then disappears after a short period of time. I don't get any error messages or any windows that pop up. When I got into Windows Task Manager and look under Running Processes Itunes.exe is open and stays open but if I try to close that it doesn't close. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

TS1717 My itunes won't open and I get message that says "The file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." I am unsure what this means, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled the itunes, and it still will not

I receive the message: The file "iTunes library.itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I do not know exactly what this means. I have Windows 7 on my computer and was able access itunes until just recently. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes multiple times and that does not work. Sometimes I can get in when immediately after installing, but then if I close it, i cannot get back in. Now, i can't get in at all.

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.

Itunes won't open and I can't share music

OK
I have an emac 10.3.9. I have an external drive where I keep my music.
I was trying to find my shared library on my labtop that is connected to the same network. I can find other people's libraries. I can't find the emac library.
Now it just won't open. When I throw out my library file then it will. But this is the second time I have had to do it. Pain in the ***.

See this post if My Music is not in the list of special folders in TweakUI:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1731188&#1731188
ALternatively you may be able to work round this by doing a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are asked to choose a library. Navigate to your iTunes folder and choose iTunes Library.itl. You can create a library if you don't already have one.

My itunes won't open, and the FAQ won't help

this problem may be familiar:
i downloaded and installed itunes 6 just the other day. after it finished updating i went to open itunes, and it wouldn't open, and it only gave me the error message. i went to the support center and it recognized the problem, telling me to uninstall quicktime and then repair itunes. however i didn't find quicktime in the "add or remove programs" list, despite the fact that it was open and displayed in my computer's toolbar. i exited quicktime and tried repairing itunes again, no luck. i tried opening quicktime again and it wouldn't open, and the uninstaller also doesn't work. i'm thinking my only option now is to uninstall itunes, but i'm really worried that i'd lose 35 gigs of music if i did. 1: is my problem fixable and how, and 2: if i have to uninstall itunes, will i lose all my music? should i back it up?
thanks.

it didn't work! i uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled it, and the same problem persists! quicktime still isn't in the add or remove programs list, and it still won't open! this is immensely frustrating. what do i do?

ITunes won't open, and doesn't give any error message

Whenever I try to open iTunes (7.0.2, if that matters), my system tray shows a little yellow triangle with an exclamation point, and iTunes fails to open. The icon shows no message when I hover over it, and if I click on it, it vanishes. I deleted iTunes, reinstalled it, restarted my computer, and all that jazz, but the problem remains absolutely unchanged. I tried creating another user account and opening iTunes on that account, and it works, but obviously, abandoning my current account is not an ideal solution. I don't have the first clue what's going on, or why, or what the yellow triangle icon is. I need help!
Windows XP

Are you having the same problem with Quick Time? I was having the same problem with both Itunes and Quick Time, and I removed and reinstalled, and it was still happening, until I notices that I had an older version of Quick Time still in the program files. After I removed the older version of Quick Time, and then reinstalled Itunes, the problem disappeared.
