My Itunes program will open up....but then close down after 20 secs or so.....very frustrating...

I recently did a major backup from Time Machine. When I now use my I tunes program...it will open and run for about 20 secs, but then will crash and stop. I have recently been playing with Sportify program so I am wondering if that may have an influence on this continuing crashing problem. I believe if I do a safe reboot...(holding down the shift key on startup) the I tunes program will run fine. I am running Itunes 10.53 and system 10.6.8.

Try restarting the computer.
Repaired permissions with Disk Utility?
Try starting iTunes with the option key held down and have it create a new library as a test. Try moving the Genius file in your user library to another folder and start from your normal library (hold down option key, guide to your usual library). See also below about Genius issues. If that doesn't help, you may need to rebuild your library: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Try starting iTunes with the shift key (command+option on some versions) held down which disables third party plugins. If it runs under these conditions then you probably have a conflict. iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are various iTunes preferences files that can be isolated to test if they are creating the problem.
Maybe: "iTunes quit unexpectedly" - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16950029 - disabling Genius or even just restarting airport (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17715416)

My itunes program will open in windows 7, but as soon as I choose a tune, it automatically closes

I have installed Windows 7. My itunes program appears as normal when I open it. When I click on any song or book to play, it automatically closes down. I have tried reinstalling itunes with no success. I am also running Norton 360. If this continues, I won't be able to use the sync with my ipod. It does not have a wireless abillity. Help!!!

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

My email opens without words then shuts down after about ten seconds. I've tried closing it, tried restarting iPad and resetting the iPad, all to no avail.

For the last three days, when I press my mail icon, it loads the blank template then closes after about ten seconds. I've tried to close and reopen it, have shut down and restarted the iPad and have reset it, but nothing has worked. I tried to use the Apple online support but was told I would have to pay £25! The iPad has not been the same since we upgraded the software as it is much slower, but the emails have not been a problem until now.

Hi Go to Settings Email Accounts Delete email account then add back again. Do this with each account that is not working. Cheers Brian

TS1702 My music ap wont open on my ipad 2 ( which is linked to my itunes). It opens up n then shuts down

I have tried shutting down but it wont open up although my music is all in itunes

If the iPad is an older model or one of smaller capacity, try fully unloading it before running the app as a test.
Double-tap Home so the list of loaded apps shows up, then terminate all by swiping upwards on each. This does NOT erase anything. Tap Home to finish when the only item left is the home screen. Then do a force-restart by holding down Home and Sleep simultaneously until the screen goes dark and the white Apple logo appears, then wait till it finishes starting up.

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

All updated to the current version?

Upon opening itunes it will process the artwork, then proceed to determine gapless playback information. It will analyze a few songs the completely stop working. Any Ideas?

Upon opening itunes it will process the artwork, then proceed to determine gapless playback information. It will analyze a few songs the completely stop working. Any Ideas?

Repeated execution of the "determining gapless playback information" process may also be a symptom of corruption in your iTunes Library.itl file (the main iTunes database). If you have a recent backup it may be worth restoring that (especially if it immediately precedes addition of the skipping files). However, the two symptoms you are seeing may be interrelated, i.e., the "determining gapless playback information" repetition and the skipping music may both be caused by incomplete or corrupt media files. If possible, find and (re)move all the media files - you should be able to do a date-based search in Windows Explorer - and try restarting iTunes. Of course, you should backup your library first so that it can be restored if the media files are OK.

How can i transfer the entire itunes program (not the library,but the actual program itself) from one cpu to another? I have the older version that has the slide feature. I can't stand the new itunes.

HOW CAN I TRANSFER THE ITUNES PROGRAM ( NOT THE LIBRARIES,BUT THE ACTUALLY EXE PROGRAM ) FROM ONE CPU TO ANOTHER. I CAN'T
STAND THE NEW ITUNES. I WANT TO TRANSFER MY OLD ONE THAT STILL HAS THE SLIDER FEATURE. THANKS

Sounds like you've already installed iTunes 11 and are now trying to downgrade. To do so successfully you will also need access to a pre-upgrade copy of your library as set out below...
The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs & List views from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

ITunes agreement will open for a brief second and close

I have installed and tried all different kinds of things to try and get itunes to work. I can't get itunes to open for the agreement. The agreement will come up but then shut about 1 second later. I have reinstalled more times than I can count. I have symantec firewall and antivirus and have tried shutting them both off and it still will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nick

So, you turned off Norton prior to launching iTunes? Do you see both iTunes AND Quicktime in your task manager under the processes tab? If you do, do they stay or go away.
Sounds like a malware issue. Try downloading EWIDO, a free malware program and scan your PC. Norton seems to let too much junk in. Most NOrton users find all sorts of malware on their PC's. Good Luck

Facetime on ipod starts to open but then closes

On the iPod when I start to open FaceTime the program starts black background but then the screen automatically closes. If you look at the open Apps is still apears open but you can't use it. It will accept incoming, but you can not send out. iOS 8.1.2

Does the front camera work in Camera app?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hello.. I'm having trouble with my google bookmarks since I upgrdaded to Firefox 3.6.6, when I click on my bookmark tab it opens but then closes again in a matter of seconds. I can't seem to get my list to stay open long enough for me to browse through. A

Since upgrading to Firefox 3.6.6 my bookmarks will not stay open, when I click on the bookmarks icon on the toolbar my list opens up but then disapears again with in about 10 seconds.... i.e, not enough time for me to chose which site I want to open. I've tried deleting cookies, temp. files and I even tried a complete re-install of Firefox but I'm still getting the same problem.... Any ideas please?
Thanks.... Jon T.

I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Hello Joecal18
Check out the Power/Battery section of the iPhone hardware troubleshooting guide below. If it continues after that you may need to restore the iPhone and test it as a new device.
