New update has caused itunes not to run

i clicked on the new update for itunes, and successfully went through all the new install, but when i go to run itunes it comes up "itunes updating". It wont allow me to click on anything else and freezes the screen. I have tried uninstalling itunes several times and re-installing but this does no use, and i am left with the same message.

I just did some research and found the answer to my problem. It might be the same as yours.
Try this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
I found out that my problem was user-specific, and when I moved the itunes preference file to my desktop my problem was solved. itunes no longer froze when I opened it. Good luck!

    Recent ITunes update has caused ITunes not to work. Tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling fresh. Still doesn't work. Tried reinstalling from an old install.exe. Install went nicely but program won't start as it says it can't open the library file.

    Now that I have no way of accessing any of the products I have purchased from ITunes, I will most certainly never use ITunes again for any reason. Why throw good money after bad?  I will use another MP3 player that is not as cumbersome or proprietary.

    Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

    Apply the Picture Frame effect in Pages V4, then paste into Pages V5.
    It's inconvenient, but then many things are in Pages V5.

  • HT201210 when i did the new update my ipod does not work the screen is now white

    when i did the new update my ipod will not turn on the screen gets lines then turns white or blue or green with lines what do i do to fix it???

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Second s5 update has made wifi and data run simutaniously, being charged for data only way to turn off Data is to go to settings. I had same issue with my other phone. Recieved two replacement phones the SIM card did not work on replacements took phone ba

    Wifi and Data running simultaneously. Data was being charged to my account even though I was on WIFI. No one can fix the issue. I have wasted 8 hours of my life and went and returned my phone and got a new one yet after the last update I now have WIFI and Data showing that they are running simultaneously.  I have looked at numerous message boards and turned off Caller ID don't have Volte on my phone but do get an error with Visual Voice Mail. I don't want any of these services, you are not helping your customers Verizon or Samsung with forcing us to update. I tried not to update my NEW phone that I had to get from Costco because of this exact same stupid issue happen on my last one. But every time I said NO to update the next time I did anything on the phone the UPDATE would pop up again. I would say NO it would come back. I was doing a text and it came up and I hit update not wanting to and then my phone began updating on a low battery. I had to rush to put on charge and then my WIFI and Data came back on together with arrows on all going up and down. I HATE the lack of support I get from SAMSUNG and VERIZON... Verizon washes their hands and say these are not Updates even though these are the features we have on all our phones like Visual Voice Mail and Volte...

    I did look at the Settings/Cellular to check the applications.  This is one of the steps I did with the person from Verizon who was an "iPhone Specialist".  And he didn't see anything unusual.  And I can honestly tell you they have very minimal number of apps on their phones.
    When I went to the Apple Store the first time with this problem, they had me update the phones iOS systems to see if this would correct the problem.  They were each running older versions but different versions.  One son had one update to do and the other had a couple of updates needed.  So, the problem started before they were updated and they weren't even on the same update.  And nothing changed after we did the updates.
    I didn't reboot the router and modem, because I'm not having any other issues with my phone, my husband's phone, our iPad, xbox, PS3, or laptops.  Would the wifi only affect their phones?

  • IPhone 4s new IOS update problem. Itunes not reading phone anymore. Help!

    I decided to update my IPhone, since I had the time. Thankfully, I did a back up before doing so. I hit "update" and my phone worked normally through it, until it said "Waiting on IPhone" for quite a few minutes. The screen of my phone also has the Itunes logo with the charge cable (not the USB side). Thinking the phone was saying it wasn't connected anymore (like something was wrong with my cable) and thats why it was taking so long, I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Bad move on my part, as now Itunes will not read my phone, and my phone no longer works properly. It is stuck on the screen I described. I have reset the phone, my computer, and changed cables to no avail. Is there any way to fix this? Or do I need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar?

    You can use Revo Uninstaller (in Advanced Mode) to Remove iTunes and  all its component from the root of your computer and then you can try  installing a fresh updated version of iTunes on your Computer.
    You will find the Trial version of Revo Uninstaller from the below Link :

    Note : Use Advanced Mode when searching for leftover files and Select All and Delete All.
    Delete all the Apple files in the below given order :
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

  • 7.3 upgrade causes iTunes not to launch

    Initially I ran into this problem when I upgraded my Macbook's install of itunes to 7.3. When I would launch the app it would bounce in the dock a few times, sit there, then just disappear. After digging around I found others had a similar problem and the only solution was to downgrade to 7.2 which I did. Then 7.3.1 came out claiming to fix a 'minor' problem where itunes would not appear or something to that effect. I was hopeful and upgraded from my now downgraded 7.2. That only brought the problem back again forcing me to downgrade...again. Fine, I thought, I'll just stay at 7.2. Then after upgrading my work iMac G5 to 7.3.2 the same thing happened! What is causing this even on the supposedly fixed updates?! Sure I could run old software, but I have a feeling it's going to happen to another one of my 3 Macs and at that point I'm going to go nuts. What can be done to prevent this and make it run as it should on the latest and supposedly greatest version?
    thanks

  • With the new update my screen is not wide enough for the format. How do I change this?

    After the new update, the screen shows only 3/4 of what is presented. I have reduced the size of the print and that did not help. For instance, in typing this, once I got as far as "presented" the screen had to shift to the left to allow me to see what I was typing. It did this automatically. I don't know what caused this in the latest edition of the update, but it has caused me a number of problems in doing on line banking because unmovable windows do not show enough to allow me to hit the submit button.
    I want to see the entire window when I log onto a site. When I now open Yahoo News for instance, I cannot see the last three inches. I can see them if I move the page over, but up until now, I have always seen the entire page when it comes up without having to take any action on my part.
    Where do I go or what do I do to get it back to how it always functioned before?
    I opened the learn system and it references a Mozilla tool bar which I do not have either. Don't know if this is relevant or not.

    Hello,
    Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays. There's more than one way to resolve this problem. See the [[Webpages are large and blurry after updating Firefox - how to fix ]] article for one suggestion. Here's another possible solution:
    * Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
    * If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
    * Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
    [[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
    * Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
    If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
    If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
