Updated itunes, now it freezes upon opening. even after reinstall.

Hey, I recently updated to the newest version of itunes and whenever i open it it freezes automatically. It pops up and i can't click on anything or do anything.
I've tried reinstalling it and redownloading it multiple times but I still get the same results. I've also made sure to download the one with quicktime.
I tried downloading an older version but it says that my library was created by a newer version and it can't be read. Something along those lines.
Can someone please help me? I'm at my wits end about what to do.

I'm having the same issues! iTunes over the past few days has been freezing on opening (sometimes), freezing during routine playback (sometimes), and when it freezes it refuses to die even when I try to force-quit!
I tried rebuilding my iTunes library as suggested, but it didn't work for me. It froze less than 30 minutes after I went through that rigamarole...

ITunes quits unexpectedly upon opening, even after updating all software and the program itself. Need help!

Itunes has been problematic for weeks now. ONce I click the itunes icon to open, it fails to do so. IT simply says "Itunes quit unexpectadely". I have even tried to delete itunes but cannot due to the fact it says it is required by Mac OS X. After sending multiple emails to Apple, and other troubleshooting resources, I am yet to find a difinitive answer to this problem. I have installed the new version of iTunes multiple times (given the present updates), and this has failed to fix anything. My MacBookPro is running the latest software as well. If anyone has encountered such a problem, and has any advice on how to fix such a situation, I would be greatly aprrecciative! Thanks again!

After much troubleshooting, I discovered that by unchecking 32-bit mode in the Info pane of the itunes app, it was then able to open. However, I have a sound plugin called Hear by Joesoft that now will not work wih iTunes, as long as I open it in 64-bit mode (can no longer open iTunes in 32-bit mode). I am guessing this will have to be updated or fixed on behalf of Joesoft.

Updated itunes now it won't open on my computer

I tried to update itunes so I could sync some music I bought on my computer to my phone, because my phone wasn't letting me download it directly. Now iTunes won't open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it twice, but each time it will not open. Also, when I'm installing it, it tells me I have iTunes currently running, which I don't.

I had this and managed to fix it:
Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Open the Terminal
Run "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app"
Re-install iTunes

Just updated iTunes now it freezes and crashes my computer? anyone have a solution? I'm using windows 7 home premium

My iTunes has been freezing when it opens then crashes my computer. I have uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated yet it still will not open? I am using windows 7 home premium 3.2GHz with 4Gig of ram. All my other programs work flawless but iTunes will not? anyone have a solution?

Having found a working library file it may pay to copy it into the standard location and reconnect to it there. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for the steps I would normally have given.

Downloaded update iTunes, now program will not open!

Can someone tell me how to solve this problem. I downloaded the newer version of iTunes to my PC today, now it will not open the application. I have unistalled and tried redownloading a couple times now, it still will not work. I am runnnig Windows 7 64 bit. Thanks

Try following steps one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

You need to reinstall:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I updated my face book app on my iphone 4 and now it will not open, even after i rebooted the phone. help???

I updated my facebok app after the app store said that it needed to be updated and ow the app wont load when I try to open it. I have tried to install and reinstall the app and I have also rebooted the phone several times with no results

try settings>general>reset>reset network settings, i mean this sounds like its a facebook issue its self and that you would have to wait for another update, they were probably getting prepped for ios 6 and somehow this one got out for an update, they are usually pretty good about getting updates out.

PLEASE HELP!!
I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

Hi Kacey,
I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

ITUNES 7 Still won't open, even after trying solutions from other topics

I have tried the following things:
Uninstall/Reinstall
Quicktime as a stand alone
Virus protection off
Trying to start Itunes with a CD
System Reboot.
None of these things have worked. Can anyone help me.

Okay,
I HAVE FOUND A WORKAROUND
This is definitely not a solution, and Apple needs to address this problem immediately, but this will do it until they pull the proverbial lead out of their proverbial apple-holes...
Right-click on the iTunes shortcut, and select "Run As"
Run it as a different user, such as Administrator. If you do not have any other users, go to Control Panel > Users and make a new user.
If you run it as a different user, it seems to work fine...
Note: The iTunes Music Library is different per user, so you may need to import all of your music again

ISync wont open even after reinstalling with Pacifist

I hate to revive a topic that Mr Lafferty (god bless) must have thought dead and gone, and replaced by all the Leopard iSync complaints threads, but...
I have a refusenik iSync in 10.4. I have done all of the reinstallation using Pacifist and OSX combo updates as recommended on other threads, but I still don't have a revived iSync. When launched, the logo still bounces away for a while, then sits in the Dock with no little triangle beneath - just like before I reinstalled. Still no response when I click on it except that the word iSync appears in the top corner and everything freezes until I click on Finder or some other icon.
I have used the 10.4.11 combo update. I have done it twice, and I have tried both Update and Replace when those options appear in the combo update.
Aargh. Is there another more fundamental way of getting rid of this annoying defective iSync and installing a completely new version?
As some may realise, I'm reposting - apologies. But I never get a reply to my posts- help!!!
Gareth

Where to start? Try this…
Look for an iSync crash log—iSync.crash.log—here:
Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Logs:CrashReporter
Use Technical Note TN 2123: CrashReporter to get some idea of why your copy of iSync crashes.

Appleworks won't open even after reinstall

Okay folks, this one has me stumped. First, I'm working on my G4. I have two user accounts, a business account and a 'fun' account. My 'fun' account is my 'home' account, if that matters. Here is the problem: Appleworks stopped opening on my business account. All I get is the spinning wheel of death and I have to force quit. I have tried reinstalling Appleworks on both the 'fun' account (where it still works flawlessly) and on the 'business' account, where I still get the spinning wheel of death. During my last round of battle with this problem, I reinstalled AW on my home account, then put the new AW icon in the 'Shared' file, thinking this might solve the problem. No luck. Any help would be appreciated.

You have run into the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The recent items are stored for each user which is why one user may be affected but not others. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.

Firefox crashes when opening, even after reinstall, on OS X 10.5.8

Firefox will open but crash within 5 seconds of opening. I have done deep uninstall and clean install of firefox using both 3.6.12 and 4.0.7beta versions, but continue to face the same problem.
I have followed instructions on https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/762084 to try to resolve my problem, attempting to create a new profile by accessing profile manager via Terminal. After entering Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager, the Mozilla Crash Manager pops up again informing me that Firefox has crashed.
Help is greatly appreciated. Prior to this problem, the last activity I remember doing on FF was checking my gmail. Other browsers like Safari and Chrome run fine, but is frustrating because FF is my primary browser!

Try running "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility (easily found with spotlight). Have been re-running Firefox without troubles after that.

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:

If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Updated itunes, now it freezes upon opening. even after reinstall.
