    I have a similar problem. My itunes won't open unless I click on it multiple times. If I do get it open and I sync my ipod it freezes the entire program. I've tried reloading the program which doesnt work. A friend of mine in Guam is having the same problem. If I get any answers I'll pass them on. Sorry that I can't help you but at least there are others with the same problem

  • When i try to add new mail to my macbook pro it crash on me.but sometimes it says account verified but mail still wont open. help please

    when trying to add new mail to my macbook pro it crash on me
    help please
    thank you

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Itunes wont open! please help me

    i logged into itunes about a week ago and it asked me to upgrade so i agreed after the installation i had to restart my computer so i did, from then on itunes just will not open sometimes i get an error message and sometimes not, i have tried everything the website said and i have uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all prob 5 or 6 times. i called in to apple support and the guy said he didnt know what to do and so i should email for support so i did that, i explained all my problems and it said i would get a response within 72 hours, this was over a week ago and still i have no response. im using windows xp if anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much

    Hey there,
    So, Tell me, Do you see iTunes and Quicktime in your processes tab? (hit CTRL ALT DEL) Which Service Pack of XP do you have? Which firewall and antivirus are you running on your PC?
    At this point, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is just an exercise for the fingers and makes a mess of your computer. So, post back with the answers and we will go from there.

  • My itunes wont open. Please help!

    I have a new computer, and have transferred all of my old files already etc., but when I downloaded Itunes and tried to open it, it starts up and tries to access the itunes store, then tells me there is a problem and closes it, but doesn't tell me what the problem is.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I've tried unistalling and reinstalling, but I get the same result which is really frustrating

    What happens when you manually start iTunes after your iPod is plugged in?

    The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.

  • My itunes wont open! but my quicktime player works fine! help please

    my itunes wont opena dn ive been told that if my quick time does not open then people have solutions but what should i do if my quicktime opens fine its just my itunes that wont work??
    pleas help me i appreciate it

    hi ho!
    well i did what u suggested and the itunes only stayed there for about 10 seconds...
    hmmm. i don't really like the sound of that. it's consistent with the malware problem (it seems to be a Qoologic variant) that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures for a lot of people since late October.
    however, there are at least two other fairly common causes of error-less launch failures (and some rarer ones), so the diagnosis can be a bit tricky. look through the diagnostic procedures and treatment suggestions given in this post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=349706&messageID=1211446
    if you do get itunes launching using the MSCONFIG technique, let us know the names of the start-up items you you have to disable. (letter-for-letter-capitalisation-for-capitalisation. include the filename extensions of the start-up items.)

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Itunes wont open need help backing up music on external hard drive

    My itunes wont open after upgraded to 8 , ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime and still wont work. i found a topic to possibly help me but i dont know how to tranfer my music to an external disk drive without being able to open itunes. i am getting so frustrated. please help

    A usb hard drive that Windows sees doesn't need software for a simple back up.
    Format the hard drive Disk Management, if it doesn't come already formatted, and then drag and drop the iTunes folder and whatever other data you want to back up to it.
    What you're describing doesn't sound like something iTunes did. If you're having general install troubles you have another problem with your system and it's time for a little troubleshooting to find out what's really going on.

  • Itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

    You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
    Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.
