My iTunes refuses to open (Quicktime too)

I'm more concerned about my iTunes though. Whenever I click the desktop icon for iTunes, a window pops up titled "iTunes Software License Agreement" and my cursor would automatically be placed in the "Disagree" tab. The window stays for at most 1/2 of a second and just disappears. Nothing else happens. Quicktime doesn't even bother to open. Nothing happens whenever I click it.
I really need to use my iTunes, you guys =( I can't stand going out without listening to my ipod.
Thanks for you time!

Now when I try and download it from the iTunes store it says error.
What is "it"? What is the wording of the error message?

ITunes Refuses to Open. No Joke.

I have spent a month following every possible suggestion given, and nothing seems to work. My problem started when I downloaded the updated version of iTunes...Ever since then, it refuses to open. Can someone please help me before I throw my laptop into the river? (I'm training for a marathon and I really need new music)

I, too, am experiencing the same problem. Nothing helps. I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Bounjour, etc. 3-4 times. I've de-activated my anti-virus/spyware software (not Norton). I've done selective start-up (turning off most services/start up software). I've started up as a different user.
I was on the phone with Apple for 2+ hours uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting specific configuration files.
Nothing has helped.
I start up iTunes, and when I look in Task Manager, iTunes.exe is running,first using some CPU, then, after about 10 seconds, using no CPU, and iTunes does not launch.
Has anyone found a solution yet?

Downloaded itunes 7.5 on Tiger, iTunes REFUSES to open

I currently have OSX Tiger for my MacBook Pro. I upgraded my iTunes music library to v7.5 recently, but since I've done that, my iTunes has refused to open. A window pops up telling me I have to download the new OSX Leopard! What? So I went to HD>Library>Reciepts, and deleted itunesX.pkg, thinking the recent update would eliminate itself. Well, nothings happened. Plain, and simple, I would like my music library back without having to pay for Leopard. What's the deal?

You first have to update your OS X 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 or better, then click on this latest info link from Apple, plus the additional link "Recreate" that is posted within this document.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
Make sure you have QuickTime 7.3 installed ..... but NO hackies or Shape Shifter.

ITunes won't open, QuickTime error message

By accident, I deleted QuickTime, and can now not open iTunes, so I downloaded QuickTime again, recieved a message that QuickTime has been successfully downloaded, but when I try to open/run it, I get this error message:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ContentIE5\TYMNQEZC\Quicktimeinstaller[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application"
I am a computer illiterate, Please help me!

hmmm. let's try an alternate technique for swapping out your QuickTime that doesn't involve redownloading an installer.
first let's just make sure your previous QuickTime is thoroughly gone.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

ITunes doesn't open, QuickTime freezes

Well, as I read on the subject, a lot of people are experiencing this issue so I don't expect to hear a quick recommendations, still ... Mine is that I upgraded to the last version of iTunes yesterday. Till that moment both Quicktime and iTunes worked fine. Today I tried to launch Quicktime several times to play my mp3 CD but failed, at the same time it start freezing. And if the first two times I was able to extract the CD, then the last time it was impossible and it still is inside my Mac, meanwhile I even't can't shut down or restart the system, despite two attempts to end all working programs in a forced mode. iTunes won't launch as well. What's going on and have you some ideas what to do? Any your suggestion appreciated greatly.Thanks.
P.S. Forgot to mention I tried to access MP3 playlists through Finder. It doen't respond.

Hey scrutinizer82,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes after updating. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Pleasse Help Me! iTunes refuse to open

Hi,
I downloaded the new version of iTunes and installed it and it refused to open (an error message).
So I uninstalled everything and installed again the older version with the installation CD and still, I can't open iTunes.
What can I do? I can't load songs to my ipod now...
The error is like this:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 4.7.1.30 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000b77d
Does anyone can help?
Thanks

Hi assafhar and Saganic0
1 Try delete c:\program files\iTunes (all);
2 Try install older version of iTunes;
3 desinstall it;
4 format your ipod (in my computer)
5 install again.
good luck, its a strange problem, maybe you have bad info in your iPod, and you have a conflit...

ITunes refuses to open for at least 5 minutes.

Okay so the other day i started having frustrating problems with my iTunes. I've had this computer for around 3 months now and there hasn't been a single problem related to iTunes, i double click the launch icon on the desktop and it opens within seconds. Which is what is supposed to happen...
Then suddenly it started being slow, i'd double click it, the rotating 'loading circle' would pop up for a brief amount of time and then stop, iTunes wouldn't open but the processes would show as being active. I did everything in the book to try and sort it out, tried a different user account, used the system restore function, re-installed iTunes, QuickTime, even Bonjour... still with no luck. Having an iPhone 3GS i require iTunes to transfer music and the like and it's become frustrating that i'm unable to do anything iTunes related with it. I decided to do a complete format which wiped everything from my computer - it's basically a new computer... which in turn means i've lost everything, my music, videos and pictures... which i'm not overly bothered about as they're replaceable with time.
I configured my 'new' computer, downloaded iTunes and YET AGAIN, the same thing happend. I then tried downloading an earlier version once again (9.2.1) and installed it, same problem. Completely baffled as to what the problem is as technically it's a brand new machine and should therefore have no problems with opening iTunes, and i know it's not just the program or my computers speed due to it working flawlessly previously.
Any helps appreciated, this is seriously annoying me now.

Itunes refuses to open on my imac

itunes won't open on my mac. it has worked fine for years. Ive updated software, restarted, etc.

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

Itunes refuses to open "quits unexpectedly"

Hey there-
So ive been trying to open up itunes the last few days and it refuses. It always says that the application quit unexpectedly. when i plug in my ipod it says the same thing "itunes quit unexpectedly" it doesnt even open up...
I need help and fast!
Thanks
-Hayley

Hayley
Some troubleshooting basics:
Ensure that you have the latest version of the OS and Quicktime and the iTunes.
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

When i then tried to re-install all my applications, the only one i had a problem with was iTunes. I installed the new iTunes 10.6.3, but everythime i opened it, it would tell me to reintsall it and check if my mac OS X software is compatible with this itunes. i would get this error message:

Does anyone know exactly what is wrong and what i need to do to get iTunes back up and running?

Not so weird, Travis.
It is happening to many of us. G5 tower 10.4.11
So the update killed iChat, Mail, itunes, safari, dictionary any apple installer, software update, as well as programs like cocktail, onyx and many others too numerous to name here.
My update didn't have an error message.
Here is what I have done:
Dumped all the prefs, tried to find corrupted fonts=none, cleaned font cache, repaired permissions (I always do this before I install any apple stuff), repaired disk, did that from the main drive and from a laptop with the G5 as a target disk. Made new users=nothing.
Started in safe mode and used terminal to fsk the HD.
NOw I will try to install safari from the laptop to see if safari is the rascal.
Disappointed in the whole thing, basically I am stuck with no mail, no apple Tv, and although there are work arounds, this is not what I need, Thanks Apple!

ITunes refuses to open

My iTunes simply will not open. I double click the icon and the cursor becomes an hour glass for a few seconds, then goes back to normal and nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times, but the problem remains. Can someone please help me get this fixed?

Do you get that "iTunes encountered an unexpected error and needs to close" message, where they ask you if you want to send an error report? I get that too, and it's really starting to annoy me. I got a copy of the file that the error message referenced, and I'm going to email it to tech support. Hopefully they're helpful...

ITunes refuses to open... and I've tried everything.

Until tonight, iTunes had been functioning normally... and now it simply will not open, no matter what I do.
I've spent the past two hours going through every possible solution on both of the following pages:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
...and it has had absolutely no effect. Trying to open iTunes produces nothing more than a momentary hourglass. The process opens in the task manager, but nothing else happens. Is there something somewhere that I may have missed that may still be corrupted? I've honestly deleted absolutely everything Apple off my computer, including all application data from all users and disabled all other services and start-up processes and installed from a clean reboot, and it still refuses to work.

Just to be clear where you are, when you try to start iTunes, do you see the hour glass briefly, then nothing.
If you open the task manager after attempting to open iTunes, can you see iTunes.exe running on the processes tab?
Which service pack are you on for XP and did you make any changes to your system before the problem started.
Which version of iTunes are you on and did the problem start after an upgrade or out of the blue?
Anyway assuming you have silent launch failure with persistent iTunes in the task manager, the problem is most commonly due to a problem with cryptographic services.
If it occurred out of the blue with no prior changes to your system, you need to do a full scan for malware with up to date definitions. Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and prevent a solution.
So ... before starting troubleshooting, you need to be certain your system is clean. You can get a second opinion from the Kaspersky free scan - it is good at finding things but doesn't remove them.
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Also a quick thing to check is your smart card service, which iTunes needs to start.
To check, go to:
Start>>Run>>Services.msc.
Look for the smart card service, check that is present and not set to disabled. Mine is set to manual.
I will give you the rest of it after you have checked for malware.

ITunes Won't Open - QuickTime Error?

Hi there,
I ran a system restore on my computer because it was acting a little weird, and when I went to open iTunes, it wouldn't open. I uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my computer, shut off my computer.. everything.
I keep getting the following error message:
"QuickTime was not found.
Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
I've tried this, about 5 or 6 times to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Things seem to have got in a muddle, it is probably best to remove all iTunes related programs and start gain. I will give you a method for removal and phased reinstall of Quicktime. I have included installer cleanup, but this is only required for any programs wher the uninstall fails.
If you computer was acting funny, have you checked for malware? That can cause problems for iTunes.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup

Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP

Vista

*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

My iTunes refuses to open (Quicktime too)
