ITunes won't open when I click on it

In the past couple of weeks my iTunes library will not open when I click on it. I have tried uninstalling and installing iTunes and updating it but nothing works. Even plugging in my iPod will not open up iTunes.

Please someone help!!! This problem is recent and apple has not caught up on it yet. I've resolved to seek answers on various forums but to no avail. I'm running a 64-bit version of windows 7 with 6GB RAM. I have tried uninstalling/re-installing/repairing itunes/quicktime and still nothing! A response will be greatly appreciated.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
If this fails:
Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
#2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

Itunes will not open when i click on the icon or when I plug in my device.

Itunes will not open when I click, left or right, on the icon nor when I plug in a device.

are you sure your i-tunes is installed proper cause the icon is just a shortcut to the program.You might have some missing files. If so you may need to uninstall it and reinstall a new one.

My DVD drive won't open when I click the button

Hi there
I'm hoping someone can help me.
My DVD drive won't open when I click the button.
I've tried clicking on eject on the DVD Drive icon in My Computers and it comes up with an error message.
I think I deleted cookies the other day. Could that have anything to do with the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to send my laptop away to a technician.

Hi
Try to open the CD/DVD drive manually.
Near the eject button you will find a small hole.
You could use a small object like staple and could push it carefully into this hole.
Usually this should helps to open the drive manually.

ITunes won't load when I click, not running in "task manager"

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545. I run on Windows 7. iTunes was operating normally for me until recently... just a few days ago, I discovered that iTunes wouldn't load when I clicked on the icon on my desktop. I've tried clicking on it from the start menu and trying to open a music file via iTunes as well. The most that will happen is that the "checking iTunes library" box will pop up, load for a little while, and disappear. My cursor will also make it appear that the computer is loading it for a few seconds, and then give up. When checking to see if the program was even running, my task manager doesn't list iTunes. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling iTunes to the current version (I may have been operating a version behind before), but 10.1 is behaving the same way. I am a music student that relies heavily on listening to iTunes for homework, so any advice ASAP would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

Quicktime is loading properly and plays videos just fine. Hmm... curiouser and curiouser!
That is odd ... with the most common causes of an error message free iTunes launch failure, iTunes.exe persists in task manager. The one I check for when iTunes.exe isn't persisting will usually prevent the QuickTime Player from launching.
Does the problem seem to be systemwide or user-specific, with those terms in the sense used in the following troubleshooting article?

Finder won't open when I click on the icon

OSX Yosemite
iMac 21.5 in , late 2009
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MGz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Out of the blue my Finder App will not open when I click the icon. Finder will open if I click and hold the Finder icon and select New Finder Window. It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I use Finder a lot and don't want the extra step of clicking and holding.
I have checked the Finder functionality on my other Users and it works fine, so it is just my User that is having the problem.
This is what I have tried to do to fix the issue:
Delete com.apple.finder.com and restart
Delete all Login Items and restart
Unplug all peripherals and restart
Test the issue in Safe Mode. The problem still occurred in Safe Mode.
Deleted my User and restored from Time Machine Backup. Still have the problem.
I don't know what else to try. Any help will be appreciated.

My photos won't open when I click on them,

My photos used to open when i clicked on them, for some reason they now wont open, I have to highlight them and press return, does anyone have any idea what has happenned recently that could have caused this, update maybe, has anyone else got the same problem?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

2013 excel won't open when double clicked

Hello,
I am using window's 7. I am having an issue with excel. An excel file will not open when double clicked.
Thank you,

Hi,
Does this issue happen to a certain Excel file or all Excel files?
If this only happen to a certain Excel file, where is the file stored? We may try to open a blank Excel file, and then open the certain Excel file via File > Open and then navigate to the file to see the result.
If this issue happens to all Excel files, please go to Task Manager, click Processes tab and make sure Excel.exe is not listed there. If Excel.exe is listed, end the process and then try to opening Excel file to see the result.
If above doesn't fix the issue, we may also try to
run a repair of your Office installation to see the result. It seems that the method fixed a similar issue for a number of users according to another thread.
Please have a try and let me know the result.

My Time Machine won't back up and files won't open when double clicked.

I'm not sure if these are related, but recently my MacBook Pro has been acting much more sluggish than usual.
To start, I have a 13in MacBook Pro Mid 2012 model with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. I've got it new in the summer of 2012, and haven't had any real problems until now. I have a 1TB Hitachi external hard drive with over 600GB left of storage. I'm running Yosemite.
Lately, as in the past few weeks but more noticeably the past few days, I can't open files if I just double click on them from my desktop or from searching them outside of the application. For instance, if I click on a word document on my desktop, it will cause the work icon to bounce for a while, pretending to open, but it never does. If the application is already running, the file just won't open. If I search from the "open" selection within the application, it works fine. This is true for all of my Microsoft Office apps, Photoshop, Preview, iTunes, and everything in between, all of which I had never had a problem with before.
Next, anytime I try to backup my system using Time Machine, it simply shows the "Preparing Backup" status and never starts. I've had the hard drive and used it as a Time Machine since I got the computer, and have had zero problems at all.
I've tried CleanMyMac2, Memory Clean, and I've always kept my Mac very clean and organized, as in no duplicate files, moving my biggest files onto my hard drive, and deleting any of my unnecessary files. I know I don't have a ton of RAM left, but I'm honestly not completely sure what to do about that, as this model apparently doesn't have RAM updates available.
Think you all can help?
Thanks so much.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

ITunes won't open when iPod is docked

Independently, both my iTunes and my iPod work fine. I always leave my iPod docked so it will stay charged, but when I click to open iTunes, the icon in the dock just bounces ; it never opens. If I pull the iPod out of the dock (even though it says Do Not Disconnect), iTunes opens fine. Then, I stick the iPod back in the dock, iTunes sees it, and immediately goes into iPod update. So, not a terrible problem, but how come I can no longer open iTunes while it's docked? I am afraid that one of these days, pulling the iPod out of the dock without unmounting it is gonna crash it.
Any thoughts??
Ben

I have the same issue!!!
I have iTunes 6 and the latest software on my 3G iPod. I thought it was the iPod, so I completely formatted it in Disk Utility then restored it with a fresh copy of the iPod software. Once that was done, I auto-syned back into iTunes.
The same thing still happens. If the iPod is docked for only a minute or two I can update it in iTunes but after that, iTunes looks like it's updating but the thing never mounts. This is also the case when opening iTunes. I pull out the iPod and redocking gets it to work.
There is something going on with the newer versions of iTunes and the 3G iPods.
