Itunes won't start anymore

my itunes worked fine yesterday yet today it won't open, everytime i try to open it, it says The instruction at "0x10001040" referenced memory at "0x10001040". The memory could not be "read". i have restarted my computer, i have reinstalled itunes, then restarted again, and i have also done a virus scan. if anyone can help me, i'd greatly appreciate it.

ok, nevermind i fixed it myself, anyone experiencing similar problems this may be relevant. my problem was caused by media player clasic which i downloaded because of the codecs it contains, i hadn't had any problems until now because i moved the folder containing media player classic into My Documents, for reasons that i can not explain this cause itunes to malfunction, media play classic has a built in quicktime substitute so i'm sure that had something to do with it, anyways i moved the folder back to the desktop, put a media player classic shortcut back into the folder and clicked itunes which now successfully started. Hopefully that will help at least some people out there.

  • Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

    Hello out there,
    please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
    I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
    I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
    Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
    1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
    2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
    3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
    4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
    5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
    6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
    It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
    Please, does anybody know what to do?
    Any hints and help are much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    and best regards

  • ITunes won't start anymore in Windows 8

    i just loaded windows 8 and my iTunes was working just fine and then it wasn't. Anyone having the same issues?

    Hhhmmm! So which bit of "it's not yet supported" do you not understand?
    Although the definition of an early adopter is open to dispute, it is fairly obvious that that's the price you pay for being an early adopter - especially if you insist on adopting before the product is actually supported.
    I guess - no I think - that the issue is yours, not Apple's They have given no undertaking yet, to support Windows 8 but you go ahead anyway.
    And then you complain about it.
    It's not that I'm unsympathetic, but it's a bit much that effectively, you were asked to wait, you ignore that, and then try to hold Apple responsible. Perhaps, next time, a little patience might be in order.

  • ITunes won't start up when connecting iPhone

    My wife has been having this trouble for awhile, and now I started having the same trouble too. She has an iMac G5 running latest versions of Leopard and iTunes. I have a Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model) running the latest version of Tiger and iTunes I also have a USB 2.0 PCI card which has already been tested and is operating properly. Both of our iPhones are the original model running iPhone 2.0, but this problem was happening on her setup before the 2.0/MobileMe fiasco.
    Basically, iTunes won't start on her machine when she sets her iPhone into the iPhone Dock, even though it does show that it is charging. When she clicks iTunes, it syncs new data from her iMac to her iphone, but new data on her iPhone doesn't transfer to her iMac (remember, this is BEFORE the MobileMe/2.0 update). I've tried different sync cables, plugging it in to different USB ports, and always it's the same- it may work properly when I unplug the cable and plug it back in again, but after I remove the iPhone from its dock and set it back in, it malfunctions the same as I just described. It initiates a sync if iTunes is running, but not if iTunes is shut down. The crazy thing is, her syncing was working perfectly both ways until about two months before the MobileMe/2.0 switch, so I know it has nothing to do with that.
    Today, my Power Mac and iPhone started displaying the same symptoms, but with a twist- I put my iPhone into its cradle, and nothing- no charging screen and tone, no syncing startup, nothing. I turn iTunes off, pull the iPhone out of the cradle, and set it back in again- nothing. iTunes won't even start up; and when I start it up myself, it still doesn't recognize the iPhone is there. I plug the iPhone into a wall charger using the same cable I sync with, and it starts charging with no problems. I plug my iPhone cradle back into my external USB hub, connected to one of the USB 1.1 ports, and the syncing/charging works flawlessly. The weird thing is, my 4th Generation iPod Photo is on a different dock with a different cable, plugged into the same USB 2.0 card, and iTunes starts and syncs with no problems with that iPod every time.
    I've taken my wife's iMac, her iPhone, and her iPhone dock and cable in to the Apple Store's Genius Bar, but they weren't able to figure out the problem. They tried to redirect the syncing issues by trying to demonstrate iPhone 2.0's wireless push/pull capabilities, but they couldn't get that to work properly, even though all the settings on the imac and the iPhone were correct. All they could suggest was that I must have had a "bad upgrade" when I upgraded to Leopard (6 months ago?!?), and that I should try an "Archive and Install" of Leopard again to see if that sorts out the issue- something I do not really have the time to do (and my wife can't really be without her Mac for that long since she uses it for work).
    I see a lot of similar issues on Apple's iPhone support pages with iTunes not recognizing iPhones when they're plugged in, or not charging when plugged in, etc. I've spent a lot of money on our Macs and our iPhones based on the idea (from Apple's own marketing) that Apple's products "just work". And darn it, with all the money I've invested into these products I just want them to WORK- EVERY TIME, without fail! These are the kind of problems I left behind in the Windows world, and I don't want their ugly heads to surface here too.

    Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

  • X11 won't start anymore!

    Hello,
    this is a desperate call: I am at a conference with my MBP, (10.6.7, all updates done). I need Matlab for my presentation, which needs X11.
    X11 (and XQuartz) decided that they won't start anymore: the icon bounces in the dock for a while, then sits there without the little light underneath, and X11 is "non responding".
    The logs show something like this.
    I have googled and searched: similar problems once in a while appear but no posted solution.
    I tried:
    1) reinstalling XQuartz (I would reinstall X11, but how? I do not have the disks with me, I am away!)
    2) from an admin account
    3) create a new account.
    4) repair permissions.
    5) reinstall the font update from Apple that was recently issued.
    HELP PLEASE!!!

    Here is the solution: there was nothing wrong with x11 per se!
    The problem was that about 30 files in /usr/bin (like gzip, egrep, hexdump etc) had been hosed (they had 0 file size).  The puzzling messages was due to the fact that startx uses hexdump, which was simply silently doing nothing (since it had 0 size!).
    I do not know what or when these files were zeroed: I suspect a recent OSX update which did not complete and I had to forcefully reboot.
    I have fixed it enough to work (copying those files from another mac), but who knows what else lurks beneath the surface of apparent serenity!
    I am actually surprised that the whole system did not stop functioning completely.
    MORALE: if something looks strange in the logs with x11 or other apps, check the file sizes  in your /usr/bin, you may be surprised too!

  • IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

    I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
    Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
    Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

  • Adobe bridge won't start anymore. Icon is hopping and then it shuts down..

    Could someone help me with this. After trying to install output module in bridge cc, bridge won't start anymore. The icon is hopping for a few seconds and then the appllication is shut down.

    Oh ok - Thankyou for that. I will be ringing them tomorrow and I will not be happy !

Does people getting it back in a worse state happen often? :| do read these discussion boards? I hope they do!!!

  • Mega Player 538 won't start anymore

    I just flashed the firmware of my mega player 538 to the latest 1.11.03.
    The prosedure went ok but now the player won't start anymore.
    When I press "Power On" -button nothing happens.
    Is there anything that I can do or is the player gone...?
    Can I reset the player to solve the problem?

    I contacted MSI support, but no answer from them yet.
    Unfortunately I didn't have time to wait because I had a very important affair where I needed the device.
    So, I returned the player to the shop. Of course the shop didn't have replacement on the stock but they gave me my money back. So, I went to another shop and bought a creative player instead and I was able to complete my affair.
    It would have been nice to have the problem solved because the player was perfect for my needs and was very cheap as well (only 20 euros). The new player was three times more expensive and only 512Mb storage.
    If MSI will return with a solution I can post it here in case somebody else has a same kind of a problem.

  • My 3Gs won't start anymore, how can I get it to?

    I plugged in my 3Gs for the night last week and I woke up with the battery at 80%, so I just thought that maybe it came unplugged or something.  I plugged in my charger and nothing happened, I got the "Charging is not supported with this accessory" error, even though I was using the white wire that came with it.  I took it out of the wall adapter and tried it on my computer, nothing.  I try my brothers wire, my mom's wire, car chargers, everything.  Now I'm not sure if my battery is just done, or if my phone just won't start anymore, it's out of warranty so I'm up for any type of fixes, thanks.

    Clean the iPhone dock port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if it helped. If not, clean dock port very carefully with lint free cloth moistened with Isopropyll Alcohol, especially clean the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. You can even use the toothbrush with a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol here too. Let it dry, usually 30 seconds time. See if this helped.

  • Ultra 10 won't start anymore

    Hello,
    I have an Ultra 10 box with an extra video card inside. Everything was working fine, and then I got curious and decided to open it up to see what's inside. Now it won't start anymore. I turn the computer on, the fans start spinning, but nothing gets displayed on screen. I can hear the hard disk turning too, and the CD drive is powered, but I don't think anything is going on.
    The only thing I touched when I opened it was the extra graphics card, but I was very careful and I am pretty sure I did not fry it. I get nothing displayed on screen when I plug the monitor in the original video card either.
    Is there anything I can do to find out what the problem is? Is there some special switch inside the box that I may have turned off without noticing?
    Thanks for the help...

    Hello,
    when you removed the ATI Radeon (XVR-100) and powered-on, the long card (Creator3D or Elite3D) with the weird connector (13W3) became the default output device. It takes precedence over the integrated video.
    Remove the long card (if you don't own a 13W3-HD15 adapter or monitor with 13W3 connector) and insert the XVR-100 (attach the monitor to the integrated video). If you power-on the integrated video becomes the default. You should see the output on the monitor.
    Enter show-displays at the ok-prompt. If only a single entry is displayed, power-down and check if the card is properly seated.
    Otherwise press the letter of the entry that doesn't contain /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2.
    This a sample output of an Ultra 10 with Creator3D as add-in board.
    ok show-displays
    a) /SUNW,ffb@1e,0
    b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
    q) NO SELECTION
    Enter Selection, q to quit: b
    /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2 has been selected.
    Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
    e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
    for creating devalias mydev for
    /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
    nvalias mydev ^Y
    The above sets the output-device to the integrated video even if a Creator3D is installed.
    Then enter setenv output-device mydev (if you used this name) and reset-all. Attach the monitor to the XVR-100.

  • CVI program won't start anymore

    Our measurement application worked well on several PC's (Win7 32Bit, WinXp 32Bit).
    But on 2 newer PC's (Win7 32Bit) the application won't start anymore.
    The attached Error with the code R6030 shows up.
    We found a workaround for the problem: run the application as administrator.
    But after we installed a USB-driver, this workaround doesn't help anymore,
    and the Error shows up every time.
    We installed the environment (cvi-rt, etc...) with an distributed setup.
    So the Versions of the components are the same on every PC.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Okay we solved the problem,
    the cause was, the HP-Software, which was preinstalled on the PC's (the others were Dells)
    After uninstalling the HP Security Suite our application works perfect.
    I hope this helps other poor guys

  • Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

    Hello everybody,
    after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:

    Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
    Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.

    Any ideas where to change this behaviour?
