My Itunes just doesn't start up

I click it,nothing happens. it is iTunes 7, I upgraded a couple days ago and haven't tried it until now, but nothing happens now. No error messages, no nothing. so I switched to the other account on my computer (both administrative accounts) and tried to start it and it said I couldn't run 2 applications of iTunes at once, and it said I should ask the other user to close that one. But then I switch back to the original and iTunes is not open nor on my taskbar.
What exactly is going on here and how do I fix it?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.

If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.

Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.

Itunes just won't start after the upgrade

I've upgraded my itunes, and done all the double checks I've found on this site. My itunes just will not start after the upgrade. It's frustrating to say the least because I can't even access my libary or edit my ipod. I've tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling.. please help! I wanted to put my audio books on my ipod for a roadtrip tomorrow!

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218
I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

Ipod suffle 3g recognized by iTunes but doesn't start! (water damage)

My ipod shuffle 3G has a water damage. it shows the red/pink indicator.
It doesn't starts but it connects to iTunes. I can move songs to my iPod shuffle and other stuffs. But it doesn't start.
I have opened my iPod shuffle. It had green sedimentation in it. I cleaned it but it still doesn't start and is still recognized by iTunes.
Does anybody have an idea what the reason could be?

If it doesn't power on when you try to use it, the damage may be to the battery. When it's connected, it is getting power from the USB connection, so it works. When you disconnected, the battery does not hold a charge, so it is dead.
Since you know how to open it, you may want to try leaving it open in a dry ventilated place for a few days. If the cause is moisture shorting something out, when the moisture evaporates, it may work again.

Exporting to iTunes: track doesn't start at the beginning

Hi'all
This isn't a specific GB'08 question...I have exported a number of podcasts to iTunes and downloaded them onto my Shuffle. Annoyingly, they tend not to begin at the start of the track, but rather, a few seconds in. It is possible to rewind to the beginning of the track, so it is all there, but I can't encourage the tracks to begin there!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks

One trick is to move the entire podcast/song over a measure or two, so it doesn't start on the downbeat of measure 1, but the downbeat of measure 2.
Command A to select all tracks, and then slide everything over one measure to the right so measure 2 is the new "measure 1."
That way, if a bit of measure 1 disappears, it won't effect your audio since it'll be part of the empty measure before your content begins in measure 2.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 just doesn't start (Win7, 64bit, NEW image)

Hi Everyone,
While Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is just working fine, Premiere Elements 11 won't start. I choose "Video Editor" from the Welcome screen, then select either open project or create new project. I then get to see pink/grey status bar, but nothing else happens. Elements just won't start. Note: The Organizer is working fine.
When I check the Win7 Event list, this is the error that I see:
Faulting application name: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, version: 11.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5041d43d
Faulting module name: dvacore.dll, version: 11.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x50408171

I checked this community, where several other folks seem to have the same problem. Only few of them have found a solution, but none of them is working for me.
I did install the most recent video driver.
Does anyone know what to do based on the davacore.dll issue displayed above?
Would apprecaite any hint!
Thanks!

I've tried to update Itunes but it will not start. I don't get any error messages, it just doesn't start updating.

I've tried updating itunes but nothing happens. It always asks me if I want to download the newest version but when I click download it does nothing. Then when I open itunes again it asks me the same question.

Try downloading an installer for the new version directly from the Apple Website, debra:

ITunes just won't start

Hey there
I'm workin on a Mac for a friend... trying to get iTunes to fire up. He can't burn disks without iTunes and it stopped working some time ago.
At first it was giving him a "shared file exists" error ..? not it just does nothing when you click on it. He had version 6x installed so I upgraded it to 7.4.2, still no joy
I'm a Windows / Linux user so I know very little about using the Mac. Pretty machine, just unfamiliar. Like the first time I tried to order an espresso in Canada.
If anyone has suggestions let me know...
He uses ProTools to record music in a small home studio, not sure if that's relevant but there you have it.
Thanks
dc

If he has any audio devices connected to the computer, disconnect them completely (yes, all of them) and attempt to open iTunes again. Audio devices can be tricky like that. If iTunes launches, update osx and iTunes to the latest versions, reconnected the devices, and try again.
If that doesn't help, try this:

Itunes just won't start. Please Help!

Hey everyone,
This is my first post here and hopefully someone can help me. When starting up itunes the windows error pops up and says we cannot process your request to start itunes whatever you were doing will be lost, do you wish to send error report, blah blah. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it numerous times and nothing happens. Ive run out of options of what to do.
Please someone help my noob @$$ out.

When you say "download", do you mean that you cannot get the iTunes installer copied from the Apple web site successfully? Or do you mean that you have the installer on your computer but that after running it, it gets part-way through but then fails?

but then when i tried to do:

i got the follow error:

How can i fix this error. Can someone help me fix this please.
Thanks,

It should just work. If not then one or more of the ports mentioned in the error message are claimed (do "netstat -a" or use "arp") OR you are not allowed by the system to claim these ports (for instance by a firewall or "bastille" program). This should normally not be happening, but if you have name resolution problems of your machine and the machine "thinks" the server you are claiming is a machine from outside itself, then it will be blocked claiming the needed ports (maybe stupid example, but maybe it will give you the answer you need). "Bastille" is very (can be very) agressive regarding blocking stuff, If it is installed / enabled...

Safari 5.0 just doesn't start

i just installed the update, restarted the mac and all, and now safari isn't working at all. it looks as if it's starting, but no window opens... i don't have time machine set, and i'm worried i'm stuck with it not working. please help me !!!
thanks

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
If you had any third party Safari plugins or input managers installed go here Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Try Resetting Safari also from the Safari Menu Bar, Safari/Reset Safari. Tick the top 5 boxes then click Reset.

Initial Backup just doesn't start/finish

I recently installed my Time Capsule on my new Macbook. Everything with the Capsule works fine network wise, but when I go to do the Time Machine backup...a window pops up saying its preparing, then backing up, and then it just disappears. I know it hasn't actually backed up because 1) the initial backup is supposedly supposed to take hours and 2) there is nothing listed under "Latest Backup".
I've tried resetting the Time Capsule and still nothing. Ive also tried doing the online Apple help, but for some reason the site doesn't seem to think my Nov 20th purchase date is possible(!).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

HT1926 Why the iTunes download doesn't start in windows 7 after deleting temp file etc

I have followed the instructions for deleting the temp files and still when I click the download button nothing happens. I am very new to this Windows 7 so most likely I am the reason for this failure but its driving me crazy! How do I get iTunes to work?

Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive. I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background? You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle. In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner?
Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled. For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once". Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program. As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems.
That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc.
