ITunes wont open after upgrade to iTunes 9

I upgraded to iTunes 9 unaware that apparently it doesn't work with 10.4.11 and now itunes won't even open, instead I get an "requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later" message and when I click the OK button iTunes still doesn't open. I can't upgrade to QT 7.5.5, as far as I know it is for intel Macs only and apparently so is iTunes 9. I can uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall itunes 8.2, but since I can't open iTunes and backup the music to a disc, I'm not sure if or how I would replace the music in the reinstalled iTunes, will the music folder be effected and if it is, can I simply copy the music folder to the desktop and then drag and drop it into the iTunes application folder after the reinstall? If not, what would be the best procedure?

Don't touch your iTunes Music folder. All your iTunes data is stored there completely separate from your iTunes application. You can delete or reinstall your iTunes Application without affecting your data. However, you should be able to use iTunes 9.
iTunes 9 requires OS X 10.4.11 or later and a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor.
It also needs QuickTime 7.6 or later. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Note that there are separate versions for Leopard and Tiger. Pick the right one.

HELP! ITunes wont open after Upgrade.

I upgraded the new version of ITunes our of stupidity and it ruined my life. Itunes now wont open. I have tried removing it and re-downloading. I have restarted it and tried everything possible that the support screens say. PLEASE HELP!

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Itunes wont open after upgrading

I upgraded to the newest version of itunes and now when i try to open it it pops up and says:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvience
After that it asks if you want to see what the error report contains and when i click that it says:
The fowoling files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\Rich\LOCALS~1\Temp\38de_appcompat.txt
Can anyone help?
I am running Windows XP SP2 if that helps

you run no antivirus at all?
thats a dangerous game of russian roullette. you probably have malware, spyware, adware blocking you from opening iTunes. This is not uncommon and there is a variant of malware attacking Windows computers that is making this errorless launch of iTunes.
The number one rule of owning a Windows PC that accesses the internet is to have programs that will scan and remove malware, viruses, and spyware. You MUST run these scans AT least twice a week.
Go download these free programs and clean your PC, then your iTunes should open.
1. EWIDO-a free malware scanner and remover tool
2. LavaSoft's AdAware-will scan and remove syware, adware
3. AVG Free-will scan and remove viruses
4. SpyBot S&D-will also remove spyware
IF your computer is heavily infested, as I suspect yours is, your computer will take HOURS to do this, but its worth it. Also, you may want to go to TrendMicro's website and use their HouseCall scanner. It will scan and remove stuff of your PC via the internet.
You may have to boot into SafeMode and use these programs.
Good Luck and report back once your scans have completed.
PS. It is important to run more than one AntiSpyWare program because each program will catch what another program misses. Spyware will slow your system down tremendously. I suggest a spyware scan several times a week

ITunes wont open after upgrade install

Itunes wont open after update for itunes and ipod

alright, so i have no clue what im doing. ive been going through this board looking for different solutions to my problem but nothing seems to be working and im running out of options.
i was having troubles with itunes before, so i unistalled itunes and quicktime and reinstalled it, and i was still experiencing the same problems with having the program open. i uninstalled and reinstalled once more and then i got it to open and when i tried to update my ipod, it said i needed the new updater software, so i downloaded that. after all of that, my itunes won't open again and i dont know what to do anymore. i just want my stuff to work and nothing i seem to do helps with the problem.
any ideas on what to do to get both itunes and my ipod to work again?

Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:

Good luck.

ITunes wont open after re-instaling win xp..

i just re-installed xp and itunes wont open now, shows this--iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
i tried removing quicktime and itunes and tried re-installing too...but wont help...
i downloaded the old ver 9.2.1.5 but it still wont work....
Pls help....
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.2.1.5 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 6975515c

I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

Itunes wont open following upgrade to version 10.6. Restore Windows error

iTunes just wont open following upgrade. How can I remove iTunes off my iMac and load software again. I can't remove from Finder or Preference it says iTunes must be installed on the machine? Help, I cant get to my music !!!!

No, it's telling you to upgrade iTunes on your COMPUTER. Not on your phone. Download and install the latest version for http://www.apple.com/itunes.
If you have a Mac, you must be running at least OS X 10.6.8.

Itunes wont open after updated software last night

iTunes wont open up on my Mac after I updated software last night

Hey there Nedswan,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after it updated recently. I would check for 3rd party plugins that may have lost compatibility when the software was updated first:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
You should see this message before iTunes starts up: "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Note: This is different than Safe Boot or Safe Mode for Mac OS X. You may need to test both at the same time to isolate all third-party interference.
Click Continue and see if any issues persist. If your issues are resolved with iTunes running in Safe Mode, check the following:
Consult the vendor of any plug-ins you installed to see if they're compatible with your version of iTunes and check for any updates that may be available.
Close iTunes and move third-party add-ons to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in these locations:
Mac: /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Itunes wont open after an update from Apple.

My Itunes was working fine 2 days ago untill there was an update for it, i installed the update and now my itunes wont open. I've uninstalled everything from Apple and reinstalled it but still itunes wont open. Any ideas what to do next please?

Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
Hope all this helps

Itunes wont open after snow lep upgrade

upgraded to snow lep. went through all software updates rebooted multiple times. Itunes wont launch, when I double click it gives me an unexpextedly quit window, downloaded itunesx reinstalled....nothing...........so an apple app, doesnt play well with an apple os?

It is likely an issue with the iTunes Library file.
You can rebuild it by following this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
If you rebuild the library, it should take care of the problem. I would make sure you have a Time Machine backup before starting any major task, just in case something wrong happens. Better safe, than sorry.
