Firefox opens, then doesn't respond. Can't reset. Fresh install doesn't fix it. Mac OSX

I was browsing the internet with Firefox when it froze, so I force quit. I open it but it immediately freezes/does the spinning wheel mouse cursor thing indefinitely, so I have to force quit it again.
I tried restarting and shutting down my Mac. Then I tried resetting Firefox, but it doesn't respond. I tried in Safe Mode, but it still immediately does the spinning wheel cursor. So then I tried doing a fresh reinstall, several times. But it still keeps having the same problem.
Help!
Edit. I don't think it could be a problem with my add ons, seeing as I've used the same ones for years and never had this problem.
One thing I did change a few days ago, is usually I let my Firefox History store things for ages, but I thought I'd free up RAM by changing these settings. I forget which settings I changed though, possibly changed something so it deletes history and and something else after shutting down each session.

It seems I found a solution for my problem!
I went into 'Username/Library/Application Support/...' and deleted the Firefox folder with the Profile settings because it seemed to be the settings I changed that triggered the problem beforehand.
I then proceeded with trashing the application and the .dmg downloads, and doing a fresh install again. Firefox is now opening and working normally for me. (However, I do not know why changing my History settings in the first place, caused this problem.)
<u>PLEASE NOTE: if anyone else tries this, if you delete the whole folder you will lose all your saved bookmarks.</u> There is probably a folder within Profiles that you can copy and save to keep your bookmarks, but I'm not sure which one it is.

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.

Re: itunes won't open Jan 15, 2012 7:46 PM (in response to cratervoid)
1. First check 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 that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

ITunes Won't Open or Quit!

I installed the update today, whatever the latest one is.
Afterwards, I restarted my MacBook Pro.
When it restarted, I attempted to open iTunes.
Nothing Came up.
When I control click it says not responding.
If I attempt to force quit, it won't.
If I press Command + Function + Esc, Front Row opens and allows me to run iTunes from there.
So basically, iTunes won't open. What do I do?

The same thing is happening to a friend of mine. When you launch iTunes from the application bar it bounces, but doesn't launch the main window. Then when you check the icon it appears to be running, but nothing happens. I tested it through Front Row and her music will play.

ITunes won't open and a Windows error message pops up

I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2.12 awhile ago. It worked fine the first time. Ever since then, whenever I plug in my ipod, my laptop recognizes and says it's syncing but iTunes won't open. I double click on iTunes and I get an error message from Windows saying that an error has occurred and it needs to close iTunes but it never even opens up. (The message doesn't give any error codes.) I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all its components and then reinstalling it but I get the same error message. I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP 3. Please help. Thanks.

Many thanks.
Yes, it is an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error. The ModName: dnssd. dll The ModVer: 2.0.5.0 Offset: 0000246c
With that one, by way of experiment, let's try disabling your Bonjour Service.
In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?

ITunes won't open (this isn't an idiot question)

When I first got my iPod mini, I set everything up the way I wanted it and iTunes would open every time I plugged my iPod in. It was beautiful. Now, even though I didn't change anything to my knowledge, iTunes won't open when I plug my iPod into my computer--instead the folder for my contacts and calender opens as if I'm plugging in an external harddrive, and not my iPod. I never told Windows or iTunes to do that, and I still have the "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" option selected. I've reselected it twice already hoping it was just a fluke, but no luck. I have to close that stupid folder that comes up, manually open iTunes, and even then iTunes takes a minute to realize I have an iPod attached.
I already searched the support pages, and I couldn't find anything. Maybe someone here can help me?
Dell Insprion 600m Windows XP laptop

Hmmmm... I had this happen a while ago with an older version of iTunes and the iPod firmware. I was able to fix it after re-installing iTunes and updating the firmware. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the iPod in the Windows Device Manager.
With the iPod connected, right-click on My Computer and select "Properties". Go to the "Hardware" tab and click on "Device Manager". Find the iPod in the device listing ("Apple iPod USB Device" under "Disk drives" if you're using the USB connection), right click on it, and select "Uninstall" Tell Windows that you really do want to uninstall the device, and disconnect the iPod after it's fininshed. Then reconnect the iPod. Windows should recognize it as a new device and automatically install it. If it says you need to restart, do so.
That might fix the problem (windows will treat the iPod as a new device and remove whatever settings are currently opening the folder and making iTunes not launch).

ITunes won't open - LiveType??

Hi -
Just yesterday I started having a problem where iTunes won't open. I tried recreating the library - no luck.
Could LiveType be a problem here? How? Why is it even looking for this? Do I need to reinstall something (FCS) to get this all working again?
I looked in the crash log, and found this:
05/05/2010 22:45:28 UserNotificationCenter[2140] Error loading /Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component/Contents/MacOS/LiveType: dlopen(/Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component/Contents/MacOS/LiveType, 262): Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LiveType.framework/Versions/A/LiveType
Referenced from: /Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component/Contents/MacOS/LiveType
Reason: image not found

Try forcefully opening it by opening Terminal in
/Applications/Utilities and typing in the following
command followed by return:
/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes
Does that work for you?
-Ryan
I tried this.
this is what terminal had after "return":
DigiCoreAudioDriver> Found 9 entries in 'SupportedApps.txt'.
and iTunes does the same thing
control clicking iTunes just says application not responding and i can force quit etc., but it still wont open.
I read the post by KPMAC, the person who trashed the ByHost file,
and found a file similar, and tried trashing it and still no go.
i put the file back where it was, since i didnt get that same
message about that file being a problem.
any other ideas?
i hope that i am doing the terminal trick correctly.
if i try that, it tries to open iTunes, and i get the same result,
and then i wait. then after a long wait i force quit iTunes,
and terminal reports: Terminated
please help if you can.
this is really frustrating and i have had this problem for a couple
of months now.
i also have a digidesign 001, with protools LE 6.4.
and i have read the issues with protools, tried those suggestions
also to no avail, but those problems were with different protools
devices, etc. and itunes and protools have both been on this
computer for a few years. Quicktime also no longer works,
as i have read that others have this same problem.
thank you for your time

Itunes won't open...error 2206..tried many time to uninstall and to install...any help?

Itunes won't open...error 2206
I have tried to uninstall and to reinstall...still won't open.
Any suggestions so i can use my itunes library again?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

Hey try this out:
Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
Let me know if this works out.

ITunes won't open after installing update.

After installing the latest itunes update, itunes won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still doesn't work.

hello Nevada!
After installing the latest itunes update, itunes
won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't
open.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it
say?
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever? if
so, could you let us know the results of the
following observations?
reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes
Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if
so, does it persist in there, or does it disappear
after a few seconds?
love, b
b noir - i have been following your advice and i want to thank you for taking your time to try and solve these problems for ipod users.
i have been following this message board each day for the past week - ever since my iTunes stopped working. i have not yet seen anyone who is receiving the same error message as myself.
like most others, i downloaded the recent update for iTunes - since then, iTunes will not open. i have tried most of the other proposed solutions to no avail, such as downloading a stand-alone version of quicktime, making sure my msconfig start-up has the correct check marks, etc.
the iTunes set-up completes with no problem - i have tried installing by saving the file to my hard drive and then running and also by running the program straight from the download window. same results.
once i go to open iTunes, i receive the following error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Then I click "Send Error Report" just hoping I will receive a required update to make this work.
i was wondering if you could attempt to help me resolve this issue? i have my music saved to my external hard drive, so i am in no danger of losing my music. however, i need to open iTunes to update my iPod.
thanks in advance for your help.

Itunes won't open unless I disconnect the network/internet, why?

My Itunes won't open (after clicking the icon and seeing it running in task manager) until I disconnect the internet connection. How do I fix this? I have the latest version of Itunes and Quicktime installed.

a few questions before proceeding.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
or is it more that your itunes library screen appears, and then "freezes" (even without an ipod connected), and when you check on that in Task Manager, it says "Not responding" in there?

Itunes won't open then doesn't respond!
