Itunes won't open! Repeated Installs & Unistalls  Help! Help!

I've been trying all weekend!! One message I get is "The cabinet file 'AppleMobileDevceSupport.cab' required for installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error an error reading from the CD-Rom, or a problem with this pa..."
Does anyone know how I can fix this???
Thanks.

Hmm not sure about this one.
I would download a fresh copy of iTunes from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Make sure you save the file to your desktop rather than trying to run it from your browser.
Then follow the advice in the following article on trouble installing iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Go to the section at the end headed: General Installation Troubleshooting
Make sure you do the bit about emptying your temporary directory. It is possible that there is a corrupt file hanging around in your temp directory.

  • 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.

    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.)

  • ITunes won't open after installation

    I realize many have had the same problem of not being able to open iTunes after installing the 7.2 upgrade. However, I haven't gotten an error message at all, it just won't open. Quicktime is working fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    It appears and then disappears after a few seconds.
    okay. this (in conjunction with your other symptoms) is sounding like a digital signing issue with drivers on your PC that i've been seeing since the late iTunes 6.0.x days.
    try running through the "Resolution" section from the following document:
    Detecting digital signing issues in Windows XP
    does your itunes start launching again?
    (if so, it might be a good idea to download fresh definitions and run some vigorous spyware and virus scans. the initial deregistering of the dlls can be caused by malware.)

  • 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!

  • 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 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 after moving to external HD...HELP please

    Needed more room on my Mac HD so I moved iTunes to an external disc. That freed up a lot more space however iTunes won't open! I get error #13014. I downloaded a new version(9.1) onto my Mac and that one won't open.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    thanks in advance!
    I'm running 10.6.3, MacPro

    I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
    Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
    thanks!

    this may happen on external drives if:
    The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for external drive
    Close iTunes
    Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
    Mount drive again
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
    If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
    The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for internal hard drive
    Close iTunes
    Reboot system
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
    Reboot system, restart iTunes
    If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

    I have Windows 8 and Itunes 11.1.2. When I click on the Itunes desktop shortcut, Itunes won't open. I just the icon go to the taskbar and nothing more. Please help.

    Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

  • My iTunes won't open help please! what should I do?

    My iTunes won't open, when I try to open it, it says:
    "The file 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
    What can I do about this? please help me.

    Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
    thank you kindly.
    another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) 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?
