Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared.  Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post.  It's all to do with the wireless sync. 
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

    Why does iTunes crashing on iPhone after launch?

    Hey
    First, try force closing the Music app, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    And if it still doesn't work when you try to re-open it, I would then reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • ITunes crashes upon opening after telling me the volume is turned all the way down....

    After updating to iTunes 11.1.3, everything was fine initially. Suddenly though, as of yesterday, my iTunes decided that it was going to turn off it's own program-controlled volume. It was kind enough to alert me to this, and I closed the warning about it and set about raising the volume, wondering why I had turned it down in the first place. At this point though, iTunes had stopped responding at all. So, I forced it to quit, reopened it, and once again it alerted me to the fact that the volume was turned all the way off. Okay, I said, told it not to warn me again, closed the warning and then there was a new alert about the fact that my previous forced closure of iTunes resulted in extra windows being closed that it was now asking me if I wanted to reopen. I can't even click on the "Don't Reopen" button, as the program itself once again stops responding after I acknowledge the first warning about the lack of volume. Anytime I open iTunes it does this (repeated without fail, several dozen times now...). Once iTunes is open, none of the options in the Help or Edit or File or any of those buttons in the taskbar are actually clickable, since I can't do anything before acknowledging the alert about the volume, after which it inevitably stops responding. Tried restarting the Mac to no avail. Tried downloading and installing a fresh iTunes hoping it might repair the damaged files, to no avail. I can't actually remove the current iTunes from the computer since apparently it is 'essential to OS X'. Not really sure how to go about fixing this issue.....could anybody shed some light on this?
    Thanks!

    In that case I would reinstall your itunes. It will just install over the top of the existing program. As a precaution it is usually wise to make a copy(Backup) of your itunes folder when installing itunes. It should not affect anything but you never know
    You can find the install package for itunes 11 here

  • My iTunes won't open after the latest update

    My iTunes quit working. It won't open, and i can'r delete it to re-install. I am using Windows 7

    Hello Dgschunk,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If iTunes has quit/won't launch, and/or you are having issues uninstalling and reinstalling it, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down?

    Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down the computer?
    This only happened after my computer attempted to download security update 2013-003 version 1.
    I have an iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on OSX 10.7.5.
    I repaired all disk permission, and then verified and fixed the disk.
    My hardware diagnostics program gave all systems a green light.
    After all this, the system still hangs.
    This must be an operating system glitch.
    How do I fix it?
    If you tell me to reload the operating system, then I'll have to go retro with Snow Leopard.
    All subsequent updates were purchased from Apple on the Internet and downloaded.

    Not so. You use the recovery mode to reinstall Lion. Details in Recovery and About OS X Recovery. Also, see Computers using Internet Recovery.

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.
