Updated my itunes, now can't even open the program - nothing!

I received my ipod back from apple, and followed the instructions for the latest updates (I have done this once before without a problem 3 months back) Now, if I go to open itunes, my computer seems to think for a moment, and then nothing happens. I cannot play music at all, from anywhere on my system. Excuse my ignorance, but does anyone have a suggestion?? Thanks.

at the current state, my quicktime opens fine...I get the error when trying to open iTunes.
okay. that's possibly a problem with your itunes preference files. if that's what is going on folks can sometimes get past it by rebuilding those preference files.
i usually work through preference files issues on Windows XP machines rather than Windows 2000. so my standard set of instructions for the pref file rebuild are optimised for XP.
see the following post:
b noir: Re: iTunes 7.0.1 crashing
the difference that i can think of here might be that you might not have the <username> folder in your path to the two sets of pref files. so if you run into trouble locating those folders, post back and i'll try to track down some assistance from someone with a Windows 2000 PC.

    My problem is after updating to Yosemite does my mail client any longer. I can not even open the mail, and when I "forced closes" mail and try to open it again to go in the entered settings running the colored wheels around and allows me only to forcing close again? does anyone have a solution to the above problem?

    You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
    If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

  • My safari screen suddenly fills my entire screen, and there is no right hand corner button to push to manually shrink it. What to do? I can never even exit the program without quitting it.

    My screen when I am using Safari suddenly fills my entire screen, and there is no right hand corner button to push to manually shrink it. What to do? I can never even exit the program without quitting it.This has happened only within the last two days.

    Try changing the screen resolution.
    Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Displays.
    Change the resolution. Whatever numbers are shown, e.g. 1280 x 960, select a larger one. The larger the number, in the resolution the smaller the display on the screen. You can keep changing this till you find the resolution that suits you.

    Connect in recovery mode to your computer to restore:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If your phone is locked by the Activation lock and you don't know the Apple ID and password that was used to set it up for the first time, the phone can't be used anymore.
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock
    If your phone does not turn on, follow this article:

  • Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte

    itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
    there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
    infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??

    A few things to try:
    • Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
    • Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
    Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
    Get Info (command-I).
    Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
    You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
    Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
    Hope this helps.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 on Vista. As with iTunes 10.0, The DEP will not allow iTunes to open.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?  I can't update my telephone or iPod.  I can't even open the iTunes program!!!

    I am sick of dealing with this issue.  I wish not that I had never even started using any Apple products, beginning with iTunes.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND MAKE ITUNES SOMEHOW COMPATIBLE WITH DEP IN WINDOWS VISTA?
    That being said, Is there any way to resolve this?  What I did in the past is completely wipe ALL Apple files from my computer, and install an older version of iTunes.  It was at least functional.  It seems that any version of iTunes 10.0 or more recent is not compatible with the Data Execution Prevention in Windows.  You can not remove iTunes from DEP, yet DEP prevents iTunes from running.
    The down side is that I can't get the latest updates for my iPhone or iPod.  Now, I have a new phone for my husband that needs syncing on my iTunes, and I can't do that because iTunes won't even open.
    Can somebody help me out with this, please? 

    OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
    First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
    If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    (Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • I installed the new update 7.0.1. When I open the program, a small box with an error message pops up: "---------- TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined."

    It has an OK button. When I click it the program opens.
    Why is this? How do I get rid of it?
    I have tried deleting, downloading the update again, reinstalling it twice. This didn't help.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Update Word and now can't even login! Blue Screen and returns to login!

    Hi,
    I'm new to Macs and recently put Word onto it. Went to use it a couple of days ago and it said that it had a critical update for Word. So I clicked yes to update.
    Next thing...it all froze!
    Then took me to login screen. Initially I just thought..."Oh it's restarted after update." But when I logged in it accepted password...went to a blue screen and came back to the login.
    Now I can't get into my mac!
    Please help...what do I do!!???

    There are a couple possibilities. Start out by turning the computer on while holding down the 'Shift' key until you see the grey Apple. This is a safe boot and you can read more about it here. If the computer boots up to the login screen and you can log into your account the problem may be solved. The failed Word update may simply have led to a scrambled cache file that kept the computer from booting.
    The other possibility I'd consider is that the update failed due to a disk drive error. If the safe boot doesn't work get out your System disc and restart your computer with it. (Start the computer, hold the 'C' key and insert the System Restore disc. Once it has booted, move to the Utilties menu and select Disk Utility. Perform a repair and if it reports the drive isn't repairable you'll know that's the problem - and we can talk about what to do next.

  • Every single extension I have is broken. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't work either. They say they'll be updated when Firefox is restarted, but I can't even open the preferences for each plug-in.

    Not a solitary extension is working. Many of them say that they'll be updated when Firefox is restarted; some of them ostensibly appear to be working, but clicking on the 'preferences' button provokes no response. I have Firefox 3.6.13. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing one of the extensions (Stumbleupon) but to no avail. Do I need to be re-installing Firefox here?

    This can happen if one of the files that stores details on installed extensions is corrupt. To fix that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • ITunes crashes a minute after opening the program.

    Hello,
    iTunes crashes within a minute after opening. Went to reinstall and choose the repair option. But it did not work. Just recently their was an update for Microsoft for windows 8-64bit, and I just purchased an iPhone 5c. Can you help?

    Eek, sorry for the multiple posting, I keep trying new things and needing to report back. SO, in those accounts that I thought I'd "fixed," I tried going back in and changing the settings back to the way I like them, i.e. leaving the messages on the server for a week (because sometimes I like to see messags on my iphone too) and as soon as I did that, it started downloading old messages before, i.e. back to the same problem.
    Meaning, there's no workaround for the account I share with my business partner, because the only way I've "fixed" it on my personal accounts is to have mail removed from the server immediately, which is not possible on the accounts I share. (And is kind of a bummer for my personal accounts, too, given that I like to see mail on my iphone too).
    Sorry for info overload, just trying to be helpful and cover all the bases. :-)
