ITunes won't open or opens for a second, then immediatly closes.

I've tried re-installing it, but the same thing happens when I try to open it! It's been working fine until the last 3 days. After a long time I've noticed a message: "itunes reading media module "built in"," flashing up on the display at the top of the player before it closes. Anyone able to help me out?

Im a real computer illiterate so you guys have to take it extra slow with me. I downloaded..uninstalled...downloaded..uninstalled for hours.. I tried the msconfig thing. and I still am in the same place with the flashing for second agreement. I didn't know how to turn off my Norton, so I just uninstalled the whole thing..and I just dont know what else to do..All I know how to do was email and work itunes..now that Itunes doesn't work, my computer skills are slowly dwindling away (sad face). Please someone, I beg you help me.

Michaelrutland do you receive any specific error messages? Did Photoshop CC work previously? Also which operating system are you using? Finally I would recommend reviewing your installation log files for errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Mail - Opens for 5 seconds, then quickly closes to home menu

Hello friends,
The Mail program on my iPhone was working fine, then suddenly the past couple days, whenever I press the Mail button, it loads up quickly, I get a quick glance at the inbox, then BAM, it goes right back to the home menu. Mail stays open for about 5 seconds before going back to home.
Anyone else having this issue? Solutions? I'm at a loss.
Thank you for your time!

I haven't tried yet.
Do I restore first? Then, sync everything?
Essentially, a restore erases everything, correct? Will I have to go through the activation process again?
Thank you.

Try quitting Newsstand completely - double tap home button, delete it from the multitasking shelf - then launch it again.

When I try to add a comment under a YouTube video I'm not able to ... I get a redirected to another page that "flashes" open for a second then closes?

This problem just started about three days ago. Before that I was able to click in the comment box under a YouTube video and leave my comment.
The page that opens for a second shows the following when I look at my History in Firefox:
Google plus: real life sharing, rethought for the web

What is this and how do I fix this problem? (BTW: This doesn't happen when I use another browser ... but I use Firefox exclusively and would like to continue.)

Hi GrizzlyJoe,
This happened a few weeks ago to me. I had to clear the cache and log out then back in. Have you tried this already? [[Remove recent browsing, search and download history]]
Also are you commenting from a session in youtube or one from an embedded video?

I click Mail, it opens for 2 seconds, then closes down to main menu?!?!?

I have searched and can't find this answer.
I suspect it has something to do with my home computer and iphone together.
I click on MAIL it goes to MAIL for 2 seconds, then it shoots back to the MENU page of my iphone - can anyone tell me how to stop this?? This is my last resort!

Hi,
Try forcing the Mail app to close and then launching it again. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1445 will walk you through forcing an app to quit.
If the issue persists, try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again.
If its still happening, you can try removing the email account from the iPhone and then adding it again or restoring the iPhone.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

ITunes won't open for a different reason then anyone else has posted! HELP!

Hey, hopefully you can help me. I recently tried to move my music to my new external hard drive. It was successful and worked fine. All of the sudden, iTunes decided that it would not open. Whenever I try to open iTunes the following message pops up:
The folder "itunes" cannot be opened or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.
I have tried to move the music back, tried to create a new folder (my music and itunes), tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I even tried to reinsert my ipod/itunes software cd, and even that didnt work.
Think you can handle this question? Then shoot me the answer to this question!

this seemed like it was going to work, but when i
click repair my music folder, it doesn't do anything.
When i clicked it for the other ones, it thought for
a half-second then i went to my documents and my
video folder was back as was my pictures. However,
my music still wasn't there. what now?
I'm not sure what you did, but whatever you did, it was wrong. I'm not talking about any "Repair" options...
Just create a "My Music" folder in the correct place. Then open TweakUI, and go to My Computer->Special Folders in TweakUI. In the folder drop down, select the "My Music" folder, then use the Change Location button to select the new My Music folder you have just created.
There's no magical "Repair" involved. You need to fix the folder yourself.

My apps on my iPod touch only open for a second then close, I tried the reset option of holding down the power button for ten seconds still no apps that I have down loaded will open just the one that are on the iPod like music app store whether time etc.

My apps on my I pod touch will not open. They start to load for one second close down. I tried holding down the power button to reset it. And that didn't work. Is the only option is to delete all apps and then reload them?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod. Again, say "yes."

Updated to ios7 now Notes opens for split second then shutsdown. Any ideas how to fix this?

How can I fix my Ipad so that I can use Notes? Currently it opens for a split second then closes.

Thank you for your feedback

Did the requested upgrade and now iTunes won't open for anything

I upgraded to the newest version and now iTunes wont open, no error message, nothing. It looks as if it's going to launch when I click on it but nothing happens. This Happened last time I upgraded but it worked itself out after a few mins but this has been all day... nothing is working.
I tried to plug my iPod in and not even that will launch iTunes.
In a similar topic it was asked if QuickTime would launch, my QuickTime will open but it has been loading for 2hrs now.... WHATS GOING ON?!!???

Me too... The other post relating to this was with a PC but the same is happening for macs too by the look of it. Has anyone got an idea of how to sort this out? I don't suppose it's possible to find an earlier version of iTunes to download? I'm going to have a search now cos I need iTunes to be working!

My iTunes won't open for some reason.

So for some reason my iTunes will not openm, I've clicked the shortcut, gone to the location, opened as a dmin, and still nothing. I've re-installed it plenty times, and still nothing. I have no absolute idea what is wrong. Maybe it's Quicktime or mobileme, but someone please help. I run Windows 7 64bit.

Try following steps one at a time:
1. Check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
Then, repair your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Itunes won't open for me?

I recently went to plug in my phone and my computer wouldn't recognize it. I deleted then redownloaded Itunes, but it still wouldn't work. When i try to open Itunes it says "The file Itunes.Library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of Itunes". I'm not sure what this means, or how on earth i fix it, but could anyone help?
I haven't had this problem before, and i've tried deleting/redownloading it multiple times. Nothing is working.
I was downloading the most recent version of Itunes.

I downloaded ewido and did a scan, then I cleaned out all my old iTunes software...the updater etc & downloaded everything all over again & I still am having the same problem. I don't know what to do next, because I know it's not a problem with Norton Security because I don't even have that on my computer. I'm thinking I might not have done the right scan on ewido considering there's more than one to choose from, here's a snapshot of the ewido scanner page:
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/272/ewidoscannerpage6ki.jpg
I did the quick scan, but should I have done the full system scan? I have done everything everyone seems to be saying to do with no result, so please help if you can...thanks in advance!
Also, I am not getting any sort of error message. Still just the brief license agreement that flashes on the screen. I've also done a system recovery on my computer pretty recently, hope that helps.
