Upgraded Itunes and now it wont open!
I just upgraded my iTunes to 9.02. Now I cannot open iTunes at all. The icon is there but it will not open. I have a MAC OS X 10.4.10 And in order for this itunes 9 to work I need safari 4, and in order for THAT to work I need a 10.4.11. Ahhh! Is there anyway to download the older version of itunes? I just want my music back!
you can download the Mac OS X 10.4.11 combo update here http://support.apple.com/downloads/#mac%20os%20x%2010.4.11%20combo%20update.
however, if you really want to go back to a previous iTunes version, try this:
+1) Quit iTunes.+
+2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
+3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
+4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
+6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
+You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
+And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.

Hi there,
Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
You won't lose your music when you uninstall iTunes. It's located in your music folder and won't be touched. -
I updated itunes and now it wont open, what do i do?
I updated itunes, and not it wont open on my computer, what do i do?
Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling or repairing iTunes alone won't fix the problem, you need to remove other components too....
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Downloaded latest version of Itunes and now it wont open
I was running Itunes this morning when I was prompted to update to the new version, I went along with it and now when I try to open Itunes the computer loads for a moment, and then the program fails to launch.
w.t.f.? help!I tried all day long and here is my solution:
Remove itunes and quicktime from your comp.
Delete all itunes entries, files and folders which means:
Delete all entries in the registry: open regedit and search for itunes and delete the entries. I did the same for quicktime (but only programm entries, NOT extentions etc.)
Search for itunes folders and files in windows explorer and delete them.
Finally restart computer, install itunes again.
I did it and finally my itunes works again!
Best regards,

I downloaded itunes and now it wont open when i click on it
I downloaded itunes on my computer . Now that i want to open it it doesent repond at all as if i hadnt clicked on it
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)? -

Upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 and now Logic wont open at all! Im using Logic 7.1 Everything was fine till I upgraded.... Now when I click to open Logic it never gets past the startupscreen, and then I get a message saying "Logic has unuexpectedly quit" and I get an option to either close it or restart it or report it to apple, whatever option I choose freezes Logic and I have to right click it in the dock to end the program because it is not responding. Any help is really appreciated! I have wirk I need to get done! (teaches me to upgrade in the middle of a project... what a rookie mistake!)
Repeat after me...

I will not upgrade in the middle of a project

Especially as big an upgrade as a whole new OS!!
O.K. for starters, have you done the routine maintenance, repairing permissions, etc..?
Have you installed the Pro Application support specifically for Tiger?
Let's start there...
