Upgraded to iTunes 6 - now iTunes won't work!

I have an older G4 and have been running iTunes since I upgraded to OSX about a year and a half ago. Never any problems. Just recently got an iPod from a friend and have been using that with no probs. for about 2 weeks. I was promped to update both iTunes and iPod software and did so like I always have. Now iTunes wont open at all. no error message, nothing. I trashed my old iTunes and re-installed a new one, no good. All of my software is updated. I am running OSX 10.3.9. I have seen many of the same postings but they all seem to be coming from PC users... hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

I had the same problem - upgraded to ITunes 6 and suddenly the application stopped working. I also tried uninstalling, and reinstalling old versions as well as v6. I called Apple, and they had me set up a test user to see if it was a systemwide failure (if it was just the upgraded Itunes on my main user that was affected, then the basic Itunes available for the test user should be fine). But it was systemwide, so I had to back up all data and reinstall the operating system, then run a software update to get my system back up to speed. After the software update, I ran a disc permissions repair to the drive (available under "Applications", then "Utilities", then "Disk Utility"), which is recommended after each install of software or software updates (I didn't know this, being somewhat new to Mac). But now Itunes 6 works fine, with no problems! Hope this helps.

  • Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

    I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period.  I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail.  Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.

  • Installed new version of iTunes, now it won't work

    Ok so I think I am fairly competent at using a computer, and I just installed the new version of iTunes last night and when I went to open it up I got the following message:
    "QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuicTime version 7.1.3 or later, please reinstall iTunes"
    So i have uninstalled, restarted computer, and then reinstalled iTunes 3 times now and keep getting the same message. I've also tried to install the latest version of QuickTime by itself to see if that helps and it didn't.
    Any suggestions???? Thanks in advance for your help.

    "QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuicTime version 7.1.3 or later, please reinstall iTunes"
    try reinstalling 7.0.2.16. if you still get the same message, we'll try swapping out your existing QuickTime for a fresh one.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • I upgraded Safari, and now it won't work at all.

    I have 10.3.9 and upgraded to Safari 4, which I found out too late is not compatible. It used to be you couldn't even install software that wasn't. Anyway, after I went through the whole process, I clicked to start up Safari, and it won't open. It acts like it will, but it doesn't. Now, I can't figure out how to download old Safari. I did go through all the suggestions on here about getting rid of history and things like that. Any other suggestions?

    HI,
    Safari version 4 requires that your Mac OS X is running Tiger 10.4.11
    Safari 4 for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X Leopard® version 10.5.6 and Security Update 2009-001 or Mac OS X Tiger® version 10.4.11, a minimum 256MB of memory, and is designed to run on any Intel-based Mac or a Mac with a PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor and built-in FireWire®. Safari 4 for Windows requires Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, a minimum 256MB of memory and a system with at least a 500 MHz Intel Pentium processor. Full system requirements and more information on Safari 4 can be found at www.apple.com/safari.
    From here... http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/02/24safari.html
    *"Now, I can't figure out how to download old Safari"*
    Insert your original Mac install disk and reinstall the Safari application from the Optional Installs package.
    Always make sure the hard drive has sufficient space available.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

  • I "upgraded" my software now iphotos won't work

    I did the upgrade to my system, and now I cannot get iphotos to work. I get the following error message:
    Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt.
    What do I do! Help!

    The only version of iPhoto that works with 10.10.3 is iPhoto 9.6.1 which must be downloaded from the App Store. What version of iPhoto do you have installed?

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • My iTunes Music Store Won't Work

    My iTunes music store won't work. Ever since I tried upgrading my iTunes, the music store cannot connect. I don't think it is the iTunes itself because I have talked to people and theirs is working fine. Mine worked until I tried to update it. I tried to re-upgrade it but it still won't work.

    It's working for me now. If it's working for you too then ignore the next step else go ahead and give it a try.
    I uninstalled quick time and then itunes.
    Restarted the machine and re-installed the latest update.
    This works! Good luck.

    Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits.  However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number.  If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

    Hello Tarpon471,
    It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  What version of Safari do I need?

    I finally got around to updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  It was version 4.0.5.  I know I should of upgraded prior but didn't need to because everything was working.  Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Are you opening Safari directly from /Applications rather than using a Dock shortcut ?.
    If the one in /Applications won't work either - what happens exactly... if there's a crash report, please post it here.
    Also, check Software Update, and/or manually install  Safari 5.1.9 for Snow Leopard
