  • 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!

    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.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • 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 on Win XP, and does'nt give any error message.

    I've installed the last version of iTunes on my WinXP. The inhalation haven't any trouble. But when I launch the iTunes its loads just 42 MB in ram and stop, don't opens any window, or doesn't give me any error message.

  • I just updated itunes to 10.7 version, but now itunes won't open. i have Windows Vista

    Hi:
    My itunes stopped working when I installed the lates version which is 10.7. Itunes won't even come up now even when I connect my ipod. My ipod is the only device that I use with itunes. I have Windows Vista.
    Please help me fix this problem! I AM NOT computer savvy, and I would prefer not to uninstall/re-install itunes and or quicktime. I have read many "solutions" on the internet, and people often say that uninstalling ect doesn't help. I just need the simplest solution because I barely know how to download music! Ha-ha!
    Anyway, an answer would be appreciated, and sooner the better because I usually watch important podcasts that I am now missing.
    Thank you!

  • My iTunes won't open anymore on Windows 7

    Stopped working a few days ago.  Everytime I open it, it gets stuck trying to access the store.  I've re-installed several times to no avail.  Always gets stuck in the same place.  Short of wiping the entire hard drive I don't know what else to do.  Any ideas?

    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset and are running any kind of net monitoring software like Bsecure, Net Nanny, AVG Family Safety, Safe Eyes, Covenant Eyes, Norton Online Security etc... I would suggest that you try uninstalling said software and reinstalling iTunes 10.5 to see if that corrects the issue.
    You may follow article TS4123 the steps to identify which software in your system is the culprit and uninstall it. Good Luck!
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Last Modified: November 28, 2011
    Article: TS4123
    Symptoms
    You may notice the following symptoms after installing iTunes 10.5 for Windows:
    iTunes is slow to respond
    Windows is slow to respond
    iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Some processes installed by iTunes are using up a lot of resources in the Windows Task Manager.
    iTunes Store looks empty and white as shown below:
    Products Affected
    iTunes Store, iTunes 10 for Windows
    Resolution
    Look for modifications to Windows by:
    Running MSINFO32 by choosing either Start > Run, or using the search box to search for
    Once it is open, expand Components and then expand Network.
    Click Protocol. The first value should look like this:
    However, if you find a value that is more like this, it indicates that there's an LSP (Layered Service Provider) monitoring your computer:
    "<LSP Info>" is variable and may specifically mention a software suite, or appear to be a meaningless acronym
    Scroll through the list on the right and look for any LSPs that have been installed by third-party software. By default, the Windows OS will have 10 values:
    MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]
    MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP]
    RSVP UDP Service Provider
    RSVP TCP Service Provider
    MSAFD NetBIOS [\Device\NetBT_Tcpip...
    The value above repeated 5 times with additional variables at the end
    Note: If you want to know more about which values from this key are part of Windows, please review Microsoft article 811259.
    Once you've identified the third-party LSPs, determine which software placed them there. Here is a partial list of LSPs you might run into and the software that may have placed it there:
    Product or Manufacturer
    LSP Name
    Bigfoot Networks
    BfLLR over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IPv6]]
    ByteMobile, Inc.
    BMI over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    Covenant Eyes
    Covenant Eyes Monitoring over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    PC Tools / Spyware Doctor
    PCTOOLS over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    SafeEyes
    Internet Content Filter over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    SpeedBit Video Accelerator
    SBLSP over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP]]
    VMWare
    VMCI sockets DGRAM
    Once you've identified the third-party software that installed the LSP, you can remove that software. If the software is your security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues for additional information.
    Note: If unsure on the origin of your LSP, you may try to locate vendor information to determine which software is responsible for the non-default value here.
    Reset the WinSock key
    If you are unable to identify the software that installed the LSP, you are unable to remove this software because it performs an important function for you, or you've removed this software and the issue persists, you may wish to reset the WinSock key.
    To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:
    Windows XP:
    Enter the following command:
    netsh winsock reset
    Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • ITunes won't open anymore. Have uninstalled and re-installed multiple times but installer window never pops up (Windows 7).

    I have Windows 7 and my iTunes mysteriously stopped working. The loading sign (little blue circle next to the mouse) came up but nothing would happen. So I uninstalled it and re-installed it. Except it's the exact same problem. I click on the iTunes Setup shortcut and, again, nothing happens. I've uninstalled everything to do with Apple (Quicktime, Bonjour etc.) and have made sure that when I download the program again, it's set for Windows 7. I've also tried restoring my computer to a previous date, when iTunes did work, but it was the same thing! Nothing happens. IE works just fine and I'm able to download other things from the internet, all except for iTunes.

    Are you re-installing Itunes 10.4?    If you search around the discussion you'll see lots people are having issues with 10.4, including myself,  probably best to go down to 10.3  until Apple fixes the issues with 10.4.

  • Itunes won't open after 2.0 update and ipod says sync in progress

    I am having the same problem - I upgraded to iTunes 6.0 and now I cannot open iTunes or Quicktime. Any ideas?
