ITunes wont open now, even when redownloaded

My iTunes worked forever then today it wont open.  I've even deleted, tried to download again, tried to repair etc.  When I click on the shortcut icon, nothing happens.

Does the ipod show up if you open iTunes manually? If it does, click on the picture of the ipod in your iTunes menu, and you should get the iPod summary screen. Check the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPos is connected". Eject the iPod, and next time you connect it, iTunes should pop up automatically.
This works for iTunes 7. On earlier versions, you can find the option in the preferences.

  • Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

    so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
    terrible i know
    i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
    so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
    because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
    i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
    so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
    a) i will lose all my music
    and
    b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
    any ideas or suggests?

    Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
    You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • 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 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 when iphone connected to mac, please help?!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

    If you get a network timed out error, try disabling the security software on the computer during the download and install.
    You can also try a direct download andinstall by:

  • Itune wont open when iphone connected.

    When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

    I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
    I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

    HI,
    First, there are no Mac viruses in the wild.
    recently random sites have had a warning message thing come up that looks like a Norton Anti-virus telling me to run my browser in 'safe' mode or something.
    So far it hasn't really done anything malicious, but I'd like to stop it before it does.
    The file is an .exe file and unless you are running a Windows partition on your Mac, the Mac OS X cannot open those files. You're OK! If you are running Windows then you would need anti virus software, but it would be installed on the Windows partition, not the Mac OS X.
    Nothing to be worry about. They are trying to get your to purchase anti virus software. Norton a/v for a Mac is the worst thing you could install. It's invasive and impossible to UNinstall.
    You are running Snow Leopard... read here.
