Just installed iTunes and it won't open

I just downloaded iTunes 10.6.1, twice, onto my new compter. I have Windows 7, and a 64-bit Operating System. I did download the 64-bit version of iTunes, so I do not think that is the problem.
The first time the installation worked fine. I plugged in my iPod Touch to sync it, and I did so. I briefly closed out of it and went to reopen and it would not. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It still would not open. After the second installation was finished, there was a dialogue box that said it would open iTunes when I pressed "Finish". I clicked Finish, and iTunes did not open.
I looked through one Troubleshoot guide, and it said to open iTunes in "Safe Mode" but iTunes wouldn't even open.
I'm not really sure what to do... Any help would be great!
Thank you!

Try restoring your system to the earlier time and then reinstall your iTunes. You might have installed or downloaded something that makes iTunes weird.

Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

A week ago, Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open but other applications will, like Mozilla, iPhoto, Word, Excel, etc. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get Safari and the other programs to open? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Pogs78,
first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.

Hello maddisonsf
Try downloading iTunes from the link below and run the installer that comes with it to see if that resolves the issue of not starting up for you.

Hi amanda6789
Please look through the forums. You will see most often problems are caused by antivirus/antispy software conflicting with iTunes.
Ensure you always download the iTunes programme to your pc (save to desktop for example) not try to install online and disable AV/Spy software before you try to run the install.

Safari, Mail, iTunes and Skype won't open

Hi there Apple-Support-Team,
a few days ago I did an update of Safari, suggested automatically by Apple, but wasn't sure if the update was successfull (I had to leave the house).
Now all applications with internet connection (Safari, Mail, iTunes, Skype) won't open anymore. Not from the dock or the application folder. I checked my internet connection which seems to be working.
I've seen quite some reports in this forum but I am not sure if I'm having the same trouble as the other users. I get no error reports or anything else, the apps just don't open.
Mac OS X version 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Many thanks

Welcome to the forums!
Did you restart your Mac after the install?
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.1 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.1 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.1 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.1, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

Itunes and safari won't open

My itunes stopped working after I came back from vacation. I tried uninstalling everything and updating to 10.1 but it won't open. When I click it, it shows up in the task manager for a moment and then disappears with no error messages. Quicktime works fine but when I downloaded and installed safari it won't open either.
Then I created another user account and tried it there and it doesn't work. It also looks like the plugin for adobe acrobat has stopped working as well. I have to right click and save as to view pdfs. I tried disabling the bonjour service and restarting the computer but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? I have windows 7 x64 professional
Thanks

Still having the same problem I'm getting a distnoted.exe *32 that pops up in the taskmanager for a short time after trying to open it. I did get this after creating another user account: Itunes has stopped working

I installed itunes 10.5 won't open in Win 7

I have tried all suggestions I have read online, I have even done suggestions by apple, I have tried running it in safe mode, I have created a new user and run it, I have deleted everything relating to apple and reinstalled, and nothing, when I tried to open itunes, it pops up with the terms and conditions, I accept them and then nothing, LITERALLY NOTHING!
HELP!!!! I'm loosing my faith in apple, I have 2 of the exact laptops, bought at the same time, same model, same OS, and it works just fine on my second one.

As with the others on this post, I updated my iTunes this morning on Windows 7 and it does not function. I have done as everyone else on this post has done; the installer says that iTunes was installed, but when launching iTunes, I get the message:
The procedure entry point
kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located
in the dynamic link library Coremedia.dll
I have completely uninstalled iTunes and downloaded and installed the iTunes64Setup.exe file. Same results.
It has always amazed me how Apple can have such a great product as the iPhone and yet have such a lousy product as iTunes. I figure I can tolerate this mess for about 24 hours and then will have to move on to another phone. Without iTunes, iPhone is dead in the water.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Safari, iTunes and Acquisition won't open

Hi everyone - hopefully someone can help.....
About a week ago, I was having problems connecting to my wi-fi through my airport. I reinstalled OS X, I was able to get the airport working and go online w/ Entourage but when I click on Safari, iTunes and Acquisition, nothing happens - Safari, the icon bounces, then the black triangle appears underneath it and no window appears, I can't even select anything from the dropdown menu. iTunes, I connect my ipod, it doesn's start open it up like it usually does and when I click on it, it bounces, no triangle and nothing. Same thing with Acquisition. I was having problems w/ my ipod about a month ago, I couldn't reset it and all of this happened after I completed one of the software updates - I'm thinking it might be music/software related? I did a hardware test and it found no problems. Please help!!!
