Settings won't open on latest iTunes

Hi guys,
Yesterday I updated my iTouch to the latest iTunes, as prompted by the program when I booted it up.
Since then, if I click the settings button on my iTouch it appears for a second or two, then vanishes. I can't touch any of the options before it closes down, so I can't enter flight mode, which I will need to do in a few days time.
Anyone else having this issue, and what is the best way of resolving it? Settings has never had problems before the latest update for me.
Thanks

Hello Herman,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Settings after updating to iOS 7.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPod touch:
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.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Settings app, I recommend restarting your iPod touch 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.
You can find the full article here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPod touch:

ITunes won't open after latest OSX update

AFter latest OSX update iTunes won't open. Reinstalled iTunes. Reinstalled OSX update. When I click on icon in applications or in finder nothing happens.

This is what worked for me and others--original post found on this thread: Yosemite slow opening and cannot open itunes
This solved my question by Linc Davis.......
According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
First, back up all data.
Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

ITunes won't open after latest update

Hi, I've just downloaded the latest version of iTunes today and since then it won't open!
It tries to open - i.e. the iTunes logo sits there in my taskbar, but when I hover my mouse over it, it just comes up as though it's 'blank' and left-clicking on it does nothing.
Oddly enough right-clicking on it gives me the usual options - eg 'close window', 'go to iTunes store' ... but if i then click on any of those options it does nothing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My phone went into Factory settings when I plugged it into Itunes. Now it won't open up in Itunes to restore my info. What do I do?

My Iphone went into Factory settings when I Synced it to Itunes. Now it won't open in Itunes to restore my info. What do I do?

I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S. The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening. Suffice it to say I am not amused. Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

ITunes won't open and my iTunes Folder is missing

My iTunes wouldn't open so I tried removing iTunes and Quicktime along with my iTunes folder, and now iTunes folder won't come back after reinstalling iTunes. Also iTunes won't open still. Any help would be great, thanks!

i have re-installed / maintenance install and the magical itunes folder in my music has re-appeared, itunes alas will still not open and still claims this folder in my music is not there. i have also deleted that src folder thing mentioned on the support page as a possible problem so that folder is not the cause of my current troubles.

Slideshows/Settings won't open

I might need some help... since I updated OS X, the slideshow function as well as the settings and help in iPhoto won't open.
HardDrive checks are negative, there obviously is nothing wrong in the system... how can I solve this?
MJ

Be sure you've applied the iLife Support 8.2 update.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Itunes won't open-error-says Itunes has stopped working

I can't open Itunes--it keeps saying it has stopped working and it tries to find a solution. Then it shuts down and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and redownloaded it but same problem.

Restart your computer.
Disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes without crash.
if iTunes does open, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes without issues.

Help... Print Settings Won't Open

In order to get to the ABW printing mode, I need to have "Printer Manages Colors" selected for "Color Handeling". Then when I click on "Print Settings" I get the normal "Print" box that comes up where I have access to normal "Print Settings" options, one of which is "ABW" under "Print Mode". And this has been working fine. Then all of a sudden today, when I enable "Printer Manages Colors" and I click "Print Settings" nothing happens. No new dialog box opens to the "Print" options as it usual does. Nothing pops up. If I switch color handling back to "Photoshop Manages Colors" and click on the "Print Settings" the box opens up as normal… but now of course the ABW option is greyed out.
I tried reinstalling the printer driver (Epson 3880)… but it's not related to the driver since it happens on multiple printers (HP & Epson). This is a problem within Photoshop. To make sure I'm not crazy, I tried it on another computer and it works as expected.
What could have caused this and how do I fix it?
PS and OSX are on their current versions (12.0,.4 and 10.7.3 respectively)

Ok, this is crazy... So, I moved the image I wanted to print over to my laptop.
I opened it in Photoshop on my laptop... where I had JUST confirmed that everything worked... and now the same thing is happening on the laptop. So, I then switched to a different user on the laptop and opened Photoshop and was able to bring up the "Print Settings" box as normal. Then, I opened the image in this users Photoshop and IT STOPPED WORKING!
How is it possible that an image can effect this?
There is nothing special about this image... it is tiff generated by Aperture from an iPhone photo. There is nothing out of the ordinary.
And now, none of these instances of Photoshop will bring up the "Print Settings" box when color handeling is set to "Printer Manages Colors"... on ANY image. If I close out Photoshop, reboot my computer and relaunch Photoshop never even opening the image that started it, it no longer works.
WTF?
Update:
Ok, so I deleted all the Adobe PS related files in the Library->Preferences folder. I reopend photoshop with another image and was able to get to the "Print Settings" box with "Printer Manage Color" enabled. I then opened the tif I was planning on printing and sure enough, it no longer works. So I delete the Adobe PS related files again. However, before I did this I flattened the tif and saved it as a jpg (using Save For Web). And now when I open that image I can get to the "Print Settings" box fine.
So, it looks like it was that tif that was causing the problem... but:
a. Why would it cause the problem since there is nothing (apparent) different than other images I've taken on the iPhone, processed in Aperture and then printed?
b. Why would it cause a problem so that Photoshop is effected even when that image isn't open?
c. Which preferences files exactly was the one that caused it (I deleted everything related to "Adobe" in the preferences folder... there are far too many to test one by one).
Update 2:
Just to make sure, I opened another tif processed the same way in Aperture taken from the same iPhone and had no problem.

Settings Won't Open

My iPhone's settings will NOT open! What's going on? It just lingers there for about 5-6 seconds (how long it freaking takes for ANYTHING to open up on my iPhone) and then it just quits. The only way I can make it work again is by resetting my iPhone and this is a freaking nuisance.

Anyone?..

ITunes still won't open after latest updated to fix it.

April 19 update was supposed to be a fix for apps that wouldn't open, but it didn't work. I still have to open iTunes with the terminal.

ITunes won't open after latest update on Windows8

I did that latest update a day or so ago - now iTunes just hangs and never opens on my machine.
If I shut it down via task manager - I cannot open as I then get unable to open application due to another user using
HELP please

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Itunes won't open 'error: new itunes library'

My itunes was playing up.
Not recognising my iphone 4s.
It then told me I had to install the new itunes to make m iphone compatible with the computer.
I did so and now the itunes will not open saying "Error: New Itunes Library' WHY?!? This is really frustrating me!!
Thanks.

georgiamomma -
There are a few things you could try,but what worked for me was to download a fresh installation file from apple.
Your update got corrupted somehow. Doing the usual of going to control panel, clicking on Programs and Features, clicking on iTunes in the list and selecting REPAIR probably won't fix this issue, as sometimes repair reverts the installation to its previous version and then your iTunes Library.itl file can't open because it's from a newer version than the one REPAIR reinstalled. You can try that process, but I doubt it will work.
Do not change any files and/or their existing locations. Also, do not uninstall iTunes from your machine. Simply go to Apple's web site and download their latest version suitable for your particular computer. Once downloaded, double click the installer and follow the prompts. You should be able to launch itunes afterward, and your library will magically re-appear.
Again, DO NOT uninstall the old version, and do not rename, remove and/or replace any of the original files prior to installing the latest version over what's already on your machine. Good luck!

General Mail settings won't open and Exchange account won't recieve mails

Here is a strange problem:
The Exchange mail account stopped working on my iPad after several month os working beutifully.
The issues:
New mails won't arrive, it looks like the exchange account is looping forever when trying to get new mails. (The network indicator is spinning.)
I can no longer open the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" setings, when clicked it marks the settings row but does not open any settings. After some minutes the Setting application ends and the iPad returns to the home screen.
I've tried:
Restarting the iPad - no help,
"hard" restart (hold down home+power for 10sec) - no help,
Upgrading from 3.2.1 to iOS 3.2.2 - no help,
restoring from an old backup (Edit: to be clear: I reset to factory settins and then restored to an old backup) - no help.
The last thing I tried was restoring the iPad to factory settings and register it in iTunes as a new iPad (thus completely reverting all changes) - this removed the Exchange account and when I re-added it, everything worked as it should.
However... I want my things I have in the backup... Anyone has an idea of either how to fix this issue without deleting everything on the iPad or how to restore a backup without getting the Exchange account setup?
Is there a "back-door" to removing an email account (or all accounts, or even all settings)?
Or perhaps a backup setting where you can choose what parts of a backup to restore? (So I can skip the exchange mail account settings.)

(My Apple account got messed up??!)
I decided to take the not so very nice road forward.
I reset my iPad to factory settings and restored it as a new iPad.
Then manually re-added all content I managed to backup (photos using a image transfer tool, the rest "pen and paper" style).
This way, the exchange account was recreated (exactly the same as before) and now it works again, just as it did before the hickup.
I still have a lot of info lost from the backup (game saves etc), so if anyone knows how to extract such things from the iPad backup that would be great!
Hope you get your issue solved eventually! The "hard way" worked for me but the whole situation has made me lower the iPad score, I don't love it as much as I did before this happend....
