ITunes won't open OR close. Please help.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro. It's about a month old. iTunes was working fine on it and I have transferred all my music onto the new computer, but now I can't quit it and it won't open when I hit the icon. Should I uninstall it and install the new version?
Thanks,
A

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To close iTunes, open  > Force Quit, and quit iTunes. Then, you should be able to open iTunes as normal

You might be running an earlier version of iTunes.
The latest version is 7.4.3, you can access it at this location:
www.apple.com/itunes/download
Let me know if that helps.

ITunes won't open after upgrade. Help!!!!

I upgraded to 7.0.2 and now my iTunes won't open at all. No error message. Nothing. When I click on it, it seems like something is happening with hourglass thing going but nothing happens. No error message.....no nothing.
I looked under Processes in my Task Managaer and I see iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe but I don't know whats going on.
Pleeeeeeeease heeeeeeeeeelp.
I love my iPod too much for it to be out of commission.

It's 2006
okay. it's way rarer to get this sort of thing due to NIS 2006 than it is with 2005, but it has been known to happen.
try the technique from the following bbecker post. (heads-up ... it's taking a long time for that post in that thread to load for properly for some folks. so leave it to think for a few minutes until it's loaded fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post.)

Quicktime and Itunes aren't opening up. Please help. Please.

Hello to all who have visited this post.
Basically i'm not very good with computers. So i apologise for the ''noob'' internet/computer knowledge.
I bought my Ipod a couple of months ago. Everything was fine. I could transfer songs from computer to Ipod without any problems.
But recently, when i try to open up Itunes, it dosen't open up. I try to repair/reinstall it but when i do that some message comes up ''fatal error occured'' so if anybody has some knowledge on how to fix this please help me.
I haven't installed any foreign applications as well. The latest ones i've installed into my computer are Codecs and this Nokia Pc Suite which helps me connect my phone to my computer Via USB. and other players such as ''Core Media Player, BS player, VLC player and FLV player.
Thank you for spending your time to read this.

Have you tried conducting a search of Discussions with the subject "fatal error" or "fatal error occurred"? This will let you read the results of others experiences with similar or identical problems.
Also, Navigate on your computer to the following: Go to Start\Administrative tools\Event Viewer\System and left click the system heading. This will open the event viewer screen and show you information and error messages about your computer. Post the error number identified with the fatal system error you recieved, (look at the time stamps) and perhaps someone here will be able to diagnose your problem in more detail.

Logic Pro unexpectedly quit and now won't open at all please help!!

Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro, 10.7.5 - just the standard one. I use Logic Studio (Logic Pro 9) and normally it works fine but the other day I tried to bounce a track and I got the beachball of death and the message 'Logic Pro has quit unexpectedly, a version has been saved xxxxx (crashed) etc'. This happened everytime I tried to save or bounce or import, in any session - a blank one, or an old one.
So I did some research and on an apple support page ended up deleting the 'Prokit' thing from my library, and downloading the new one (Prokit update 7 I think). I tried opening Logic again and got this message:
'Logic Pro cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Logic Pro works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.'
I gave up a bit at this point, and thought I'd uninstall/delete every trace of Logic from my laptop, including the items in preferences (this was recommended online somewhere). I went through the (lenghty!!) process of reinstalling Logic and all the audio content and extra CDs, and the problem is still exactly the same and I can't open Logic.
Can anyone please help? I'm lost without being able to use Logic every day, any advise would be great!!
And I've also just updated Logic and still no luck.
Thanks,
David

No third party plug-ins, and no I didn't delete the /cs files.
I back up using time machine.

Have you tried UNinstalling, and then reinstalling?

IPad died and won't open again. Please help

I was using facetime when my iPad died and it won't open again. I charged it and after 15 mins. I tried holding down the home and sleep/wake button for a long time but it didn't work. Shall I bring it to the service center?

Thanks very much for the advice.
I'm glad to say that you were right.
Interestingly, I could not SEE the Preview plist file in there when I looked, but when I did a 'find', there it was. Strange eh?
Once deleted, the problem was solved.
Thanks again
Matt

ITunes won't open at ALL. HELP!!!

Hello. I never realized how attached I was to my iTunes until it stopped working. Whenever I try to open it I get a Error 1324 message or am told to reinstall iTunes. When I try to reintall it I get the 1324 message and am told that I cannot continue because I am missing files. I am unable to delete the program (manually or by using the remove programs feature in the control panel). I am so disappointed because I finally organized all of my music on my external drive, cataloged it, added lyrics, etc and now I can't play them...MPEG4 isn't supproted by other media players. grrrrr. Help!

Muse site won't open keeps crashing-please help

my site wont open. I have been working from an external because I have had to work on it on two different computers. today when I came home and tried to open my site on my laptop this is the error message I got as Muse crashed:
Adobe Muse encountered an unexpected error and will have to be terminated.
SQLS/internalExecute-SQLError: 'Error #3123: Database disk image is malformed.', details:'', operation:'execute'
please someone give me some good news that I dont have to start all over...

Yes other files open just fine. I agree that somehow when doing the last save there was some sort of error that happened that corrupted the file. I am hoping that either there is some sort of work around so I don't lose my whole website.
Please let me know.
Also, I have seen in other threads that you guys have had people send you their file do that the development team could try and "repair" the file before sending it back. Is that something you guys still do? If so am I eligible?
Thanks for your attention and help.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked
Allow user to administer this computer
Then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Mail application won't open, anymore. Please help.

A few days ago, I tried to open Mail and have all of a sudden encountered this error message:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X.
You have Mail version 6.0 (1486/1498). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.8.2 (Build 12C54)."
As far as I understand, Mail is not a standalone App and is downloaded with each revision of OS X, right? I checked for possible software updates, and can't find any.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Had the same problem, I installed the following update and it fixed it for me:
