My iTunes won't open, it shows a please reinstall iTunes message.

So, i updated my itunes file when the message popped up, but after i restarted my computer like i was told to do by itunes, it would no longer open. the following message pops up: " This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
the problem is, i have over 1000 songs and most of them came from CD's that i borrowed from friends and such. only a handful of songs have i bought straight from the iTunes store. I do not want to lose these. is there anyway to preserve these songs, but still get itunes running like normal? if so, how?

" This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Please someone help. When I tap Purchased on the ipad, it won't open to show me my purchases. It just says loading, but never does!

Please help! When I tap Purchased on my ipad, it won't open to show me the purchased apps. It says 'Loading' but never does. I use the apps to help my daughter who has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thank you in advance

Hi, I was having the same problem on my new Mini. It would load fine on my iP3 and my phone but not my mini. My two daughters both have iPads linked to my iTunes account. They download a bunch of apps and I suspected this had something to do with it.
After a few hours, I found how to hide the purchased apps in iTunes (go to Store, App Store (up the top) then the Apps tab. Hover the mouse until you get an X then click on it. It doesn't delete it from your library, just stops it showing up on your iPad. I did this, launched Purchased on my iPad mini and boom they all came up. I just hid those I don't use/want any more, and some of the older ones my kids have purchased. Cut the number down from nearly 500 to 280 and it loads like a charm now.

Sounds like the app is having issues starting. Maybe choking on a file that didn't close correctly?
Suggest going to System Preferences, General, place a check next to "Close windows when quitting the application".
Then follow the direction in the link above. Namely, Force Quit that app and restart the computer.

The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

Hello,
Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

My iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

my iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

Hi! I'm Ralph.. Just updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.2- 6.1.3. ... Now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do

Why would this be covered under warranty? There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

ITUNES WON'T OPEN!!! PLEASE HELP ME I'M GOING INSANE!!

I have a dell computer.. I have Windows XP I got itunes wiht a new ipod mini in the fall. everything was going great, I even upgraded to the new itunes and everything was fine until about a month ago when it just quit on me. when I try to open itunes a message popped up that says:
itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
it says I can send and error report, which I often do. It doesn't say anything of any importance: no numbers, no nothing.
I uninstalled Quicktimes and repaired itunes: didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes from the web 3 times: didn't help, it installed just fine, but itunes wont open.
I read another post and tried to install quick time separately, following the advice to disable all of my virus protecting stuff.. but it said it was interrupted before it was finished installing. I have a quicktime icon in the bottom right hand corner of my screen, it seems to be there on my computer but itunes still won't open.
I am at my wits end. I am not a technologically minded person and am so sick of this, however, I need my music and my ipod working and I want to download tv shows so I won't give up.
if you have any ideas please help!!!

Well, installing over the web is never a good idea
with ANY software...
have you tried disabling your security software,
downloading the installer file to your hard drive,
and running the install?
Then turn your security software back on.
I'm having the same problem with my iTunes not opening and I installed the ewido anti-malware and nothing happened to me either. I'm just wondering how you disable the security software? I'm not too sure that I have one though, because my computer crashed and I don't think we have one installed yet. Please Help! Thanks!

ITunes won't open at all... only error messages

hey guys,
no idea what's going on with my iTunes its really annoying though here's the scoop i got a lot of bad crap on my comp. so i had it formatted by a guy at work came home installed itunes opened it up it worked great all the sudden it closes itself and now it won't open at all i've redownloaded it at least ten times... nothing works... soon as i click on the iTunes icon it says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i sent the error report and it said Apple had a solution to my problem.. but after hours of searching i have found nothing so i'm just going to post this up hoping someone knows whats up (um just for some info i went to my add/remove hardware and quicktime wasn't in there... that's not right i think someone let me know lol)
any help would be much appreciated really wanting to update my new songs on my iPod

No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,
