ITunes Won't Open and Tried Everything

Is there another method besides there:
Reinstalling
Uninstalling then Reinstalling QuickTime
Booting into SafeMode and deleting the potention malware with 4 to 6 digit letters
Disabling Norton
Deleting the file in the SC INFO folder
If you know of any other methods let me know - my iTunes just appears then dissapears and I haven't installed anything new I just opened it when I got home from school and it did that.

Found it. Solved my problem...I had a nagging feeling it might have had something to do with spyware for some reason.

ITunes won't open, have tried everything!

Running Windows 7, iTunes used to work fine but now I click on the icon and it just won't open: no error message or explanation, it's just as though it's ignoring my request to open it.
Have looked on the Internet for possible solutions and tried deleting/reinstalling it at least 3 times, all of the suggestions on the 'Support' page such as deleting the '.info' files in the program files, running as Administrator, trying it on new user accounts and attempting to run it in Safe mode, nothing works. I set my default music player to iTunes and tried playing music files but that doesn't open iTunes or play the music files. Would love if someone could help me with this!

Hi,
I had a similar problem (itunes appcrash), I tried to delete everything, but by following really step by step this tutorial (link below), I managed to delete EVERY itunes file and component. Once your computer cleaned, just download back itunes. I hope it will work for u.

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!

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 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 after trying to update

I updated my iPhone 5C to IOS8 yesterday, and when I plugged it into my computer it said I needed to update my iTunes. When I tried to update it, it wouldn't work and told me to do it manually. It then came up with the screen that searches for updates, and I pressed cancel so that I could press the tools button. When I pressed tools, I could not click on the top option that I was supposed to select. I closed the tab and now iTunes won't open.

Hello snowwhitesapple,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below to completely uninstall iTunes, and then reinstall the new version.

Take care,

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 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?

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Itunes won't open and i am getting this error message: the application itunes quit unexpectedly. the problem may have been caused by the libgnsdk_dsp.1.9.5.dylib plug in

ITunes won't open and i've tried everything!

Hi there,
when i try to open itunes on my windows pc i get a message saying 'the folder "itunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. the default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.'
my laptop was running out of space, so i moved my itunes library onto an external harddrive. when i next turned on my pc and tried to open itunes this was when i started getting the above message. i moved the libary back into the same place on my laptop's harddisk as before, but to no avail. when i pasted the files back, however, i noticed that the folder was no longer called 'my music' but 'eddy's music' (my username on the laptop, and i am the only user). my laptop isn't allowing my to rename it.
i tried the TweakUI method suggested in the support pages but neither "my music" nor "eddy's music" appeared in the list in the special folders section. i then removed and re-installed itunes but this did not work. finally, i tried moving the library files and folders around, but again this did not work.
what else can i try?
many thanks in advance.

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.

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?

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 ***.
