Itunes wont playback at all

what is the deal. surely you can test your own software before rolling it out..
I have a 2.16ghz Macbook pro, osx 10.4.7 and its a reasonably vanilla install.
nothing out of the ordinary.
So why is it that Itunes wont play a single file. it just sits there, looking like its paused, but when in reality its not. I can drag the playhead thru the track, but nothing happens.. it just wont start playing.
I have tried removing the library file and rebuilding it, i have tried repairing permissions.
this is lame. lift your game.

First, get rid of any offending third party software. That is the most frequent cause of problems with iTunes updates.

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.

Itunes Wont Start At All No Error Messages Nothing HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Itunes Wont Work At All No Error Message Comes Up NOTHING ive Uninstalled , Deleted the Files in c Drive and Re Installed it Over and Over Again Quicktime Works Fine But When i Open Quicktime My Itunes is on there :S its very Confusing But i still cant Sync music Onto my Ipod or Buy Any Music Please Help Me!!!!!!!

Does iTunes.exe persist in the task manager or disappear again quickly. This can be a clue to the cause of the problem.
If iTunes persists this points to either firewall blocking or a damaged configuration file.
Try briefly turning off your firewall to see if iTunes will launch. Otherwise the link I will give at the end tells you how to delete the configuration file.
If iTunes doesn't appear or appears briefly and then disappears this may be a digital signing issue, also dealt with in the link.
It is a good idea to scan your PC for viruses and spyware, as malware can cause problems.
Apple article on troubelshooting launch problems:
XP version
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
Vista version
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305491
If the things I suggested above don't wiork, try working through the whole article.
All this is on the assumption that your Quicktime is working normally. I am a bit worried that you have been installing and uninstalling different versions, it just complicates the issue.

I did notice a previous thread and looked in the sysWOW64 folder and there are no Quicktime folders in there so not sure if thats right or not :/

Fault Module Name:          QuickTime.qts_unloaded
Fault Module Version:          0.0.0.0
Interesting. I think an iTunes version 10.5.x ought to be able to launch without having a QuickTime.qts on the system. So the problem report might be lying to us in this instance.
It might be best to swing into general principles mode and try working through the following document:

HT1390 i downloaded a movie rental onto my PC itunes and it wont playback at all. What do i do?

i downloaded a movie rental onto my computer and it will not playback at all. Can i just get my money back or can you fix it.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

danny,
it was a little hard to read your post due to your grammar, but I need some more info on you in order to help.
First off, I need to know which Windows OS you are running? What antivirus and firewall programs are you running? Is iTunes and/or Quicktime installed on your PC?
Have you gone to Windows Website to download and install any new updates recently?
Post back and let me know

Itunes wont back up all the music on my iphone4 only purchased

I have purchased music on my phone4. I also have music that was on my old CD collection which I ripped and imported into my itunes library on my computer. So my iphone now has purchased music from itunes store as well as my old music collection ripped and converted to itunes format.
I got a new computer and authorized it on itunes. I also have icloud service set up. When I attempt to back up my iphone it only backs up my purchased from itunes music but not all my other owned music not purchased on itunes. The songs are there on my iphone and play fine, just wont back up.
I found a downloadable software for $29 that claims it will asssit me in transferring my iphone content but seems like I should not have to purhcase software just to back up my iphone.
any suggestions?

Hello Chascott2012
Your best bet is to have access to the old computer to transfer the music to your new computer, the article below will assist with that.

The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:

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.

ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

Can't import homeshare music onto laptop,updated operating system now Itunes wont open at all.

I have an older desktop where the majority of our itunes library is. I have been using a new laptop where I have downloaded new music to our same itunes account. Today I turned the desktop on and turned on HOME Sharing in itunes, where the music did show up on my laptop. I clicked to select all songs but the import button was not highlighted and would not allow me to click it. So I decided to update the operating system to the most current on my desktop, since it has not been used/updated for over a year. Now Itunes will not even open when I click on it, it just bounces up and down and stops. I updated the flash player and that did not help. Now I cant open ITUNES and homeshare dissapeared on my laptop. My ultimate goal would be to get all the music for itunes off the desktop and on my laptop Can anyone please help me?
