Itunes wont open unless restarting computer

itunes wont open unless restarting computer. Bought my first piece of music through itunes store. Shortly thereafter couldn't open itunes after closing it unless restarting the computer. Had no problems previously. Not very computer savvy. Computer usually opens straight to admin user. Created a new (standard) user account as suggested. Opens,closes,reopens ok there. Tried disabling Bonjour, didn't help. Ideas?

No. Computer set up to automatically open "admin" user account when starting. Only created new "standard" user account to see if that worked. It did. But still had same problem in admin user account.

ITunes started freezing up on Windows 7 home while down loading podcasts and university videos. Now, I can't even get iTunes to open on my computer. what do I need to do?

itunes started freezing up on Windows 7 while downloading podcasts, books, itunes university items. Now, I can't even get itunes to open on my computer. What should I do?

It seems that in some cases the scripts on Apple's site that are intended to query your system to offer the appropriate installer don't work as intended, taking you straight to the "Thank you for downloading" page. Depending on the edition of Windows you are running, there are three variants of the most recent version of iTunes, with direct links to the installers as follows:
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit) - iTunes6464Setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit "for older video cards") - itunes64setup.exe
The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

Itunes wont open on my computer

a couple days ago i got on itunes just fine
then the next day i try to get on and it wont
open. when i double click on itunes it switches from the itunes logo to a file to back to the logo and wont open.

I am not absolutely certain that i have understood you.
When you click on iTunes, do you see the hourglass briefly, but iTunes does not open and there is no error message?
If so open your taks manager after trying to open iTunes and look on the processes tab. Can you see iTunes.exe there although iTunes does not open?
If so you have a particular type of launch failure that is often associated with problems with cryptographic services.
Did you make any changes to your system before the problem started?
If it happened out of the blue, you need to run a scan for malware. It might also be worth a second opinion from an online scan but ONLY use a big name, such as Kapersky or similar. There are many scams out there that introduce malware.
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
You need to be sure your system is clean before starting troubleshooting as malware can not only cause this problem but also interfere with a solution.
Once you have done that, here is a method for diagnosing the problem, you need to report back with the results and then we can look at a solution.
Troubleshooting silent launch failure in Windows XP
Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
A couple of simple things to try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
Start>>Run>>Services.msc
you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

I purchased a book on my ipad and im trying to retrieve it on my imac and it wont open on my computer

i purchased a book on my ipad and im trying to retrieve it on my imac and it wont open on my computer

Ibooks are ONLY for use on ipod touch, iphone and ipad.
You can indeed store books on your computer, but you cannot read them there

My Apps wont open, and the computer (Powerbook G4) starts super slowly.

Every time I boot up, my Powerbook boots very slowly, sometime taking up to five minutes. In addition to that, I can't open any apps, except for Finder, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and the basic functional things like settings. By they won't open, I mean the icons will bounce for a while, then a box pops up that says, for example;
The application Microsoft Office Setup Assistant Quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
Click Relaunch to launch the applicationagain. Click Report to see more details, or send a report to Apple.
I really need to be able to use Microsoft word and stuff for school, and I can't afford a new computer. I'm running OS X 10.5.8
I've browsed several sites, and I tried all of the following things:
Restarting in SafeBoot mode,
Making a new admin account to see if it launched quicker/ let me open apps (It didnt),
Pressing Control + Option + P + R (it worked once, but it hasnt worked since)
Used OnyX, (which now won't open either)
I checked to see what login items I had, and there weren't any.
Please help!
Thanks,
Avery
Also, I don't have any disks for this computer on hand, as it used to be a family friends. /:

Hello Avery,
I received an email notification about this topic even though I have this forum set to not send them so I think perhaps you sent it to me deliberately hoping I might have some ideas?
First of all I think we should concentrate on your not being able run your essential apps and the crashes. The disk repaired buttons being greyed out is usually because the account trying to do it doesn't have admin privileges. It's a good idea to create a spare account that has admin privileges incase anything should ever go wrong with your default account. From your post I think you know how to create a spare account via System Prefs.
I'm not sure whether we can fix the problem but we can try to identify it at least. If you have any irreplacable data on your PowerBook I think you should back it up as a priority and if you don't have a backup drive or can't afford one at the moment then beg or borrow one.
I don't want to alarm you but if it turns out that your PowerBook is finally giving up the ghost your precious data will have at least have been backed up and ready to restore to a replacement machine. Not long ago and in good condition a 12" aluminium PB G4, which I believe was 1.33GHz, sold on eBay for £45 ($72). Early white MacBooks still pop up too and are inexpensive and faster and more RAM than PB G4 so all is not lost. If we end up having to go down that route it might come in useful to make a note of this link:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g4/index-powerbook-g4.html
Paste it into Stickies or Text Edit as they don't require a lot of system resourses so should be stable when launched. If it turns out you need to replace any components the site will have links to suppliers. Using that link you'll also be able to check the detailed specs of any second-hand Mac being sold on eBay before purchasing.
It would be useful to know exactly which PowerBook you have and how much RAM is installed. Click the Apple logo top right of screen\About this Mac\More info.
My first inclination is that it sounds like a possible RAM problem, either faulty or not enough. You have 10.5.8 installed which might be the most recent OSX that you can upgrade to which we won't know until you let me know the exact model. That the case was with my PB G4 874GHz on which I had 1Gb of RAM installed (512MB is the official maximum but 1Gb worked fine and has been stable). I should say at this point that with 1Gb of RAM it was quite spritely running OSX10.4s but started to struggle when I upgraded to 10.5s. Did you upgrade only to 10.5 only recently I wonder?
Let's try this: go to Applications\Utilities\Activity Monitor\Memory and launch a couple of an app and see how if Activity Monitor is spiking. Start with light app like Stickies. While still monitoring open and use another app, perhaps text edit. Keep them open and playback soundfile perhaps, through a little player rather than iTunes if possible. Is it overloading? Once you've checked the memory do the same for the processor and the harddrive.
I've enabled this thread to receive emails so take some notes, set to with the various things I suggested if you think they might help, and get back to me when you have something. I'm working this afternoon (it's 09.58 here in the UK) but will be around this morning, later this evening and for some of Saturday. I may of course have already given it my best shot but I'm happy to help if I can. If we don't make any progress it might be worth compiling your posts from this forum and posting in the MacBook Pro forum as there are plenty of experts in there that might be able to help more than I can.
Good luck,
K

Itunes wont open in my computer.

I am running windows 7 and when i click on the icon it will appear on the start bar then it stops responding. I have even deleted the program and reinstalled and still nothing happens. i now got the latest version but its not running either. I also tried the ctrl+ shift option but it still wont run. HELP

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Itunes wont open on my computer and wont come up when I plug in my Iphone

Went to use Itunes this morning when I pluged in my Iphone, itunes did come up but was not syncing to my Iphone, so I exited out of it and clicked to open it from desktop but nothing would come up. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but still nothing comes up.

That's the most current version, and rather what I suspected. Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

Domain wont open on new computer

hi ive recently upgraded to a new imac G5 intel duo core with i life 08.
i transfered my i web site from library / application / support / iweb/ domain
but it is not opening on my new computer. any suggestions?
thanks jessica

Mireille,
I thought of that too but then thought (I'm becoming a thinker!) that permissions for others usually is set to read by default which would enable her to open it at least...
To change permissions of the Domain file
Select Domain file press Command(Apple)+i under Ownership & Permissions go to =>Details =>Others and select Read & Write
You have to do that in the original user account and computer in which the Domain file was created.
If you don’t change permissions you will find an error while publishing and saving.
Other thought: what's the size of the domain file? (in KB or MB)
If it's very low it might be an empty one (some people here report that updating iWeb the domain gets emptied...)
Do you have a backup of it or another copy on the original computer?
Regards,
Cédric

We have no way to know what you have read, so can't actually answer that question. But...
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

Slow networking, programs wont open, broken ethernet port - so many probs!

WE've got some 3 year old power macs in the office - 2 x g5's and one g4. there are a number of problems:
1) the g4 ethernet port has broken - i've been quoted £500 to get it fixed (thoughi may find it cheaper elsewhere) - but basically i need a cheaper option. someone tripped over the wire and completely dislodged the bit where it plugs in. if anyone knows of an alternative that would be great. tried an ethernet/usb adaptor but there werent any drivers to make it work.
2) the second problem is the networking - one of the g5's connects to the internet fine but when i try to network to or from it with any computer inc my laptop it is so slow - what normally takes 20 seconds to transfer takes 3 hours with this one. i have no idea why it's suddenly started doing this - sometimes it just freezes and i have to restart all the computers.
3) photoshop wont open on one computer - it just says 'unexpectedly quit - do you want to send a bug report' - but it never even opens!
4) quark wont open on some user accounts - it says 'it wont open on a locked volume' - but i havent locked anything!

Belkin has stated they intend to release new drivers for the F5D5005 that will support 10.4x. However, as of the present they have not done so. Given that Belkin is taking longer then I would expect them to take, and that the card has been backordered for sometime, I would agree that one of the other compatible gigabit cards is a better choice at this time.
It's funny that you bring this up, as I was just researching a new gigabit card for one of our G4 Quicksilver servers after an old Asante card finally died after many years of abuse (It's been in about a dozen machines at one time or another).
I'm looking at the Netgear, or Hawking, both work natively under 10.4, though the Hawking has had reports of problems with iPv6, though I would think the problem would include the Netgear as they both use the same realtek chips. However as iPv6 is not an issue with our network, I can just disable iPv6 support on the server.
