ITunes Won't Start After Airport Upgrade

After running the latest upgrade to Airport Utility and upgrading the firmware on my Airport Extreme, I lost all access to my iTunes library that is housed on a Drobo attached to the Airport. When trying to start iTunes, I get error "13005".
I normally access my library from both a Windows XP/SP3 box and a MacBook. I have tried the following steps:
1) deleted genius.itdb and extras.itdb.
2) Repaired iTunes install.
3) Removed and reinstalled iTunes.
4) Plugged the Drobo directly into the Windows box (no airport or USB hub).
Still no love. I was able to rebuild my library via my MacBook, and I created a Windows XP user account which can successfully run iTunes and see the library once I rebuilt it. However my main XP account (with Admin access) still cannot start iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+

I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

Itunes just won't start after the upgrade

I've upgraded my itunes, and done all the double checks I've found on this site. My itunes just will not start after the upgrade. It's frustrating to say the least because I can't even access my libary or edit my ipod. I've tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling.. please help! I wanted to put my audio books on my ipod for a roadtrip tomorrow!

HT1349 ITunes failed to start after an upgrade, won't allow me to re-install saying "Apple Mobile Device failed to start, check for sufficient priveleges"

My ITunes library failed to start after an upgrade, now I'm unable to open or re-install. Receive an error message stating that "apple mobile device failed to start, check to see that you have sufficient priveleges to run system". Any help with this? I've tried un-installing and downloading only to get the same message again.

Thank you to "turingtest2", solution for someone else worked for me as well!

After updating to OSX 10.9.3, my iTunes won't open. If I try to drag it to trash, I get the message "iTunes can't be modified or deleted because it is required by OS X".

ITunes won't start after upgrading to v9 on WinXP

I dutifully upgraded to iTunes 9, and now it won't start. It attempts to start, and I get a few moments of the hourglass icon. And the Task Manager shows the iTunes process is running. But the UI never appears. I tried deleting via the control panel and reinstalling but same problem. Never had a problem before - this is aggravating since I don't have access to my library and there doesn't seem to be a way to downgrade back to v8. I turned off (actually deinstalled) Norton but that didn't help. Tried disabling a bunch of start up processes at boot time and that didn't help either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar issue. After doing the upgrade, tried to open iTunes & got an error message saying that I needed the latest Quicktime version and telling me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Doing so resulted in the same error message.
Per a suggestion in another thread here, I repaired Quicktime (control panel- add/remove programs- Quicktime- repair). This disappeared iTunes but once I reinstalled it the problem went away.

Itunes won't start after upgrading

I just upgraded to itunes for windows 6.0.5 and now it won't start. The windows error report box comes up. Please help!

don't be silly, zenbeer. let's wait until the original poster tells us explicitly what message s/he's getting. there are at least two different error messages that miracon could be getting that fit the information that we've received so far.
why on earth did you reinstall Windows in response to that error message?
Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Itunes won´t start after upgrading to the latest version....

Hello everyone. After updating to the latest version of itunes it won´t start.I get the message itunes will be shut down due to the data execution prevention. After i followed the troubleshooting guide from windows to shut down the dep for itunes i get the message: This program cannot run without dep. pls help

Quicktime doesn´t work properly. The program will be shut down. You´ll be noticed when a solution is available
Many thanks.
That and the iTunes DEP error suggest that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

ITunes won't start after reinstalls and iPhone problems

last time I think I clicked Never Register on iTunes after plugging my iphone,downloaded some podcasts to my phone,everything seems alright before that,but then my iphone won't sync properly with itunes...
iTunes keeps saying Syncing Iphone (sometimes it stops,but it doesnt say Sync is complete,on the left side it's still syncing) but after a while my iPhone goes back to its normal state (Slide to unlock,not to cancel) after I cancelled a sync (it took more than 2 hours,that's why I cancelled it,after the cancellation it became even more messed up)...
Deleted the podcasts and deauthorized iTunes store,still doesnt work.
What's the solution to sync my iphone normally again??
I did reboot on both my iphone and PC and they don't work,
I'm using Vista 32bit and Iphone 3G 2.2.1
I tried updating iTunes to 8,1,now everytime I connect my phone via usb,iTunes will crash....removed iTunes and installed previous versions including 8.01 and 8.02...still not working
after I installed 8.0,iTunes won't even open...
removed itunes and installed other versions including 8.1 again,they won't even open even after I completely removed iTunes & quicktime and used windows install cleanup...,reboot many times,deleted Temp folder....still doesnt work...
but the Itunes and iTunes helper processes are there on the task manager,I cant even kill them
sorry,I don't know where to post this...
please help,guys..
thanks

I have update iTunes to the latest version yesterday.
Up to her everything is fine. Due to ther issues I
had to go back to the Windows RESTORE point previous
to the iTune installation.
When I start iTunes I get the following pop-up:
"iTunes cannot runbecause some of its required files
are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
I do that and when iTunes try to connect to the store
it shows broken links and the whole thing hangs.
I have tried to unistall iTunes, but it does not help
at all. This means that I do not have connection to
iPod. I cannot believe that I have to re-install all
my PC bcause of this.
I have discovered that QuickTime is corrupted. I cannot unistall it and if I try to re-install it nothing happens.
Is there a manual way of removing it from the system?
Which keys/modules do I need to remove?

ITunes won't start after update

Hi,
I just upgraded my ITunes using the normal Apple update process when I was prompted - and now I-Tunes won't start at all.
I can see the ITunes.exe start in Windows Task Manager....then it just shuts down again.
Any ideas ?

I tried another solution :
1. Un-install I-Tunes
2. In-install Bonjour
3. Reboot
4. Install latest I-Tunes
This seems to have fixed the problem.
So it looks like BONJOUR IS THE PROBLEM.

Itunes won't open after software upgrade

I just upgraded itunes form version 4.x to version 6. on my girlfriends windows laptop.
Now itunes won't open past the licence agreement.
Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
I looked at this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
this didn't resolve the issue.
When itunes quits there are no error messages.
Any ideas
Thanks

hi Matthew!
Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsover? are you seeing similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
if so, check for a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

My iTunes won't open after partial upgrade.

Hello, I recently tried to download the latest version of Itunes but got a message during the middle of download saying I didn't have enough memory to complete it. I immediately hit cancel and now my Itunes won't open! Everytime I try to open it I get a message saying, "A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Quick Time." I removed some programs to free up some space. I reinstalled Quick Time but I'm still getting the same message. I found my library under My Music, iTunes, iTunes Music, but how can i get it to open. Can someone help, please?

I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

WCS won't start after Linux Upgrade

Hi,
I've just upgrade RH to v5.0 and it all seemed to go fine except WCS won't start. I was running v5.0.56.0 on RH v4.0 (I know it's not supported) on a WLSE appliance, which ironically seemed to be fine. Now I get this....
Database server is running
Apache server is stopped
WCS is registered, but not initialized.
The Server seems to be unavailable. The possible reasons are
1. The server is not running yet.
2. The server is hanging.
3 The server has crashed.
If the server has crashed or is hanging
Please report the issue and follow the instructions to restart it.
1. Run StopWCS to stop all WCS processes.
2. Run StartWCS to start the WCS server.
3. If the server still fails to start, or you still get this
message, then reboot the machine.
Any suggestions will be most welcome.
Thanks
Scott

Won't start after recent upgrade

Started the recent upgrade. A depiction of the apple tv and usb cable connected on one end to tv and other end pointing to iTunes icon then showed up on the tv screen. Let run overnight and still will not connect. I am pretty sure battery in remote is fine; remote was working fine before the upgrade.

The update has failed.
You need to connect to iTunes on a computer with a cable.
Using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

[BDB/OpenLDAP] OpenLDAP won't start after BDB upgrade

After upgrading to BDB 4.6.21-1, my OpenLDAP-server doesn't start anymore displaying some error about environment mismatch. When upgrading BDB I saw the message I needed to upgrade the database, but that didn't work because the environment versions were different. (I've been trying to get this sh!t running for over two hours, deleted the database files in the meantime so I can't reproduce the error anymore ..)
According to JGC in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31375, where somebody has a similar problem, the following should be 100% working:
1) /etc/rc.d/openldap stop
it is stopped, wouldn't even start after reboot
2) slapcat -l /root/ldif
I made backup yesterday using this method
3) pacman -S openldap
local version is up to date
4) rm /var/lib/openldap/data/* (though you could keep a backup of DB_CONFIG)
check
5) slapadd -l /root/ldif

6) /etc/rc.d/openldap start

ITunes won't load after recent upgrade

I see I'm not the only one with this problem. I've been through the FAQ and removed and downloaded iTunes and Quicktime separately multiple times, but iTunes won't load. It will be difficult to buy more songs like this.
I've a Sigma Tel Audio driver installed by Dell. I'm running McAfee anti virus. Let me know what other info will help somebody to help me solve this.
Thanks.

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 no error message, a few more preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(3) 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?
