My iTunes won't open on the new ios7

my iTunes won't open with the new iOS7. it will start to open then crash.

Hi Kori,
Close all apps: Double click on the Home button, then swipe up on the mini screens displayed above each open app.
Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your iTunes will open.
Cheers,

ITunes app won't open with the new iOS7 update...what do I do?

Tried opening itunes app, it comes up for a second then closes, not sure what to do...

Hello Gigi,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes app after upgrading to iOS 7.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

iOS: Force an app to close

If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

ITunes won't open because the library file is locked

The iTunes 4 Music Library file is locked, on a locked disc, or I do not have write permission, what do I do? It was working perfectly until I plugged in my iPod. I waited, the iPod did not appear. The computer then told me that I had improperly disconnected it, yet I didn't touch it. So at that point I did disconnect it. My computer froze, so I restarted it and now iTunes won't open. Help!

Megan hello,
welcome to the Apple Discussions open the iTunes folder in your Music folder and select the iTunes 4 Music Library file... type cpmmand - D and this will duplicate the file... put the original file on the desktop and change the name of the duplicate to be the same as one you just moved ... double/click on this file after the name change... if all is okay you can trash the file on the desktop later..
let's know if it all works again Megan .... TP

Itunes won't open after install of IOS7

After installing IOS7 on my Iphone4S iTunes won't open. When you click the app it starts to open and then just closes. I have shut the phone off and checked the settings but nothing seems to be working. Help?

That behavior indicates that the app is crashing.
I recommend trying a restore. Plug your iPhone into iTunes (current version: 11.1) and click the Restore button.
Also consider any possible apps you might have that are suspect - possibly corrupt. Remove any such apps before attempting the restore.

My itunes won't open, and the FAQ won't help

this problem may be familiar:
i downloaded and installed itunes 6 just the other day. after it finished updating i went to open itunes, and it wouldn't open, and it only gave me the error message. i went to the support center and it recognized the problem, telling me to uninstall quicktime and then repair itunes. however i didn't find quicktime in the "add or remove programs" list, despite the fact that it was open and displayed in my computer's toolbar. i exited quicktime and tried repairing itunes again, no luck. i tried opening quicktime again and it wouldn't open, and the uninstaller also doesn't work. i'm thinking my only option now is to uninstall itunes, but i'm really worried that i'd lose 35 gigs of music if i did. 1: is my problem fixable and how, and 2: if i have to uninstall itunes, will i lose all my music? should i back it up?
thanks.

it didn't work! i uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled it, and the same problem persists! quicktime still isn't in the add or remove programs list, and it still won't open! this is immensely frustrating. what do i do?

Itunes won't open because of newer version

When I try to open my itunes it sits there like it is loading up then a message appears saying "The file 'itunes library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." what does this mean and why can't i open my itunes why?

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

My iTunes won't open after the latest update

My iTunes quit working. It won't open, and i can'r delete it to re-install. I am using Windows 7

Hello Dgschunk,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If iTunes has quit/won't launch, and/or you are having issues uninstalling and reinstalling it, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

I did an update today to my itunes WITHOUT my ipod and now itunes won't open. The error message says it is corrupted.

I did an APPLE update today and now my itunes will not open. It give an error message of corrupted. What can I do to open it?? The message was still he same when I plugged in my ipod. This happens with almost every update. Thanks.

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

IPhoto won't open with the new Mac update

I just installed the new update for my desktop mac. iPhoto now wont open and there is a big circle with a line through it over the icon. When I try to open this application it says "you can not open iphoto because it is not supported on this type of mac" I have had my mac for over 2 years and use iPhoto everyday. Any help?

iPhoto versions older than 9.5.1 are incompatible with Mavericks. Version 9 or later should be eligible for a free upgrade to the current version in the App Store. Versions older than 9 will need a paid upgrade.

Itunes won't open on a new MacBook

I just completed my Time Machine installation on a new MacBook Pro from a backup from my old MacBook. Everything is working fine except that when I open Itunes, it keeps quitting unexpectedly and never opens up. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi, I had exactly the same issue when I was setting up my new MBP a few weeks ago.
Have you updated all the software on your new macbook pro? I spent hours and hours trying things like re-transferring etc, and eventually tried checking for software updates. After that it worked fine. I think there was an update for itunes or genius or something. (It's a shame they don't suggest this in the troubleshooting section of the manual - would have saved me a lot of time!)

ITunes won't open because the iTunes Library.itl file is locked

Recently our motherboard died. When we replaced it, we also had to wipe our hard drive. We saved our files, including my iTunes library.
I reinstalled iTunes today, but when I tried to open it, I got this error message: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." I can't find a Library.itl file, and I don't know why it's locked. What am I doing wrong?

How did you try searching for the ITL file?
If you do find it (it should be in \My Documents\My Music\iTunes), right click on the ITL file. Uncheck the "READ ONLY" box and do the same for the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
Or you can try holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. Create a new library and name it NEW. Then at least you can see if iTunes will open.

ITunes won't open -error: The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created...

Hello,
I am not able to open my iTunes. I was able to use it yesterday. I keep getting the message:
*The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.*
I have created a folder called "iTunes" in my "My Music" folder, which does not fix the problem.
I have uninstalled and installed iTunes twice.
I have used the repair option when trying to install iTunes over the top of my current iTunes.
None of these options has fixed the problem.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Rachel

I found the answer on another board... Below are the parts I found useful (quoted).
Click on Start
Clin on Run
Type in "regedit" Enter
Do this step twice as there are two locations. +(I actually had 4 locations.)+
CTRL F
Type in "My Music"
Double Click and enter the path for where the folder is located.
Then exit.
The exact locations of the 2 entries that I changed are
hkeycurrentuser - software - microsoft - windows - current version - explorer - shell folders
and
as above - windows - current version - explorer - USER shell folders
I located the location of my iTunes folder (something like this - C:\Documents and Settings\"yourname"\My Documents\My Music\iTunes.
I copied it, and when I found the regedit location referred to, doubleclicked the location and pasted the path in there.

My itunes won't open on the desktop anymore

Hi
I have a problem!!!
I was loading some songs onto itunes from the itunes store and had paid for each song using a giftcard. All was going well until I came to the last song I had chosen to load and for some reason it was stuck and never finished (or starting by the look of the bar!!) downloading.
So I minimised the icon and continued on with other work only to discover later when I tried to shut down my computer that itunes was still downloading so in frustration I cancelled that song just in order to shut down. Going back onto the desktop later on I discovered that I could not get onto itunes anymore via the desktop. As I don't know any other way I tried to troubleshoot but didn't get anywhere. Please help. Maybe just switching off and on computer may help???
Wishful thinking.

Hi Kori,
Close all apps: Double click on the Home button, then swipe up on the mini screens displayed above each open app.
Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your iTunes will open.

Itunes won't open after downloading last update. Error message says "not supported by this type of Mac"

Downloaded latest iTunes update. Now iTunes won't open, and the error message says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." I have been using this MAc since 2008. Any suggestions appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

Itunes won't open after software upgrade

I just upgraded itunes form version 4.x to version 6. on my girlfriends windows laptop.
Now itunes won't open past the licence agreement.
Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
I looked at this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
this didn't resolve the issue.
When itunes quits there are no error messages.
Any ideas
Thanks

hi Matthew!
Actually itunes quits before i can agree to the licence agreement.
are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsover? are you seeing similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
if so, check for a Qoologic adware infestation on your PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:
