Itunes won't open on my Macbook Pro.

No error message, it just doesn't open. I can't open t from finder, either. Also, Quicktime Player does the same thing.

Hello Beccasim1,
It sounds like you're clicking on the iTunes icon in your dock, but no window is opening. I would start by checking to see if perhaps any 3rd party plug ins are interfering with the launch by starting iTunes in Safe Mode. This article will help with that:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
If no window opens when you try this method, I would next see if you get a window in Exposé after you click iTunes:
To show windows by application, press F10; Exposé highlights one application's open window(s) while dimming everything behind it. To toggle through other application windows, press the Tab key. Click a window to select it, or press F10 to return everything back as it was.

  • ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

    iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

    i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
    step one-
    Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
    (even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
    step two-
    download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
    (i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
    although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
    step 3-
    open Terminal
    step 4-
    enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
    killall iTunes
    killall "iTunes Helper"
    sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
    step 5-
    drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
    step 6-
    install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
    step 7-
    go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
    with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

    What won't open? Photoshop, or the photos that you "stored in iPhoto"?

    The Software Update pane of System Preferences won't show full version upgrades. If your Mac is compatible with Yosemite, you can either download it from the Mac App Store or order a download code for Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store.

    *Hi Kyoki,*
    *Welcome to AD. Nice to have you here. Yeah it's very frustrating having your computer crash and losing your music. I hope once you're able to add your music back from your iPod that you'll keep it backed up on an external hard drive or DVD's/CD's... Were you able to contact Apple Support to assist with the password reset process?*
    Thanks

  • My microsoft word won't open anymore in macbook pro with latest OSX

    I had installed OSX latest version some months ago and there was no problem with opening all documents in words.
    Just today I can open the word document but stalled and could not edit as there is a rolling icon (processing) appeared.
    I did remove the word program by using my MacKeeper software remove installed program.
    Then I insert the Microsoft Office 2011 original CD to reinstall the microsoft office again.
    Before the crash and after the reinstallation both My Excel and Powerpoint are doing ok .. can
    be opened and used to edit ppt and xls documents.
    Before the word program removed .. when I opened the word document just appeared
    "opening normal dot" message.  This had never happened before the stalled opened
    word document.
    I did also restart the macbook pro (version 2011 manufacturing date) but now my word
    even can not be opened with error reporting message as follows:

    what am I supposed to do to ? I try to googling the topic but can not find the exact similar incident in google search
    results. Is this some kind of a virus attack ? Does anyone can recommend any solutions that work?
    Thankyou so much for your sharing and suggestions.
    Leks

    I am running Word for Mac v 14.2.0 quite happily on my iMac 27" running Maverick 10.9.4.
    Possibly it is due to issues with your Retina screen? The obvious first step is to update Word to the latest version.
    Virus attacks are not the first guess on a Mac. I have never ever had one nor even been able to locate any malware for well over a decade. Word can harbour Macro viruses but I thought that the Mac version of Word didn't do macros.
    Either way this is not the place to get your answers. Pages is not Word. Use Microsft's support forums for their software.

  • Software 'Myphotobook' won't open on my MacBook Pro

    I've been using 'myphotobook' to create photo albms for years. I've started a new photobook but can't access it to finish it as the app won't open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.

    You need to contact the makers of that app for support.

  • Safari won't open on my macbook pro and freezes.

    The browser opens but the page is blank, if i try and do anything it freezes straight away and i have to force quit does anyone know how to fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
