Why won't itunes launch on my mac after upgrading ...

there's only troubleshooting for windows vista, can anyone help me here? it loads, but then nothing open, but the toolbar is visible, however when i click on something, nothing happens, and when i go back to what i clicked on, it's not longer available, it's grayed out, and the only way to shut down is to force quit, and this only happened a few days ago when i upgraded to version 8, helppppppppppp

i figured out how to fix this problem on my own, go to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1743954&tstart=0, follow the directions in the order they appear, for me uninstalling 8.0.1 and reinstalling 7.7.1 worked for me, and personally i like it better, and i shouldn't have upgraded.
no restart is necessary between disk verifications and repairs, and if you can't empty your trash with 8.0.1 in it, just disk repair again and it will automatically delete itself, at least that's what happened on my iMac, i never had this issue on my PowerBook, so there you, it pays not to wait on Apple support.

  • Why won't iTunes sync with Iphone 4s after upgrade?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.7.0.21, now my iPhone 4s will not sync via iCloud or my computer.  When I plug the phone in, it starts a sync session like normal but it will not complete the sync.  I get an error message that says "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "Scotty's" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone.  Yet, the phone shows up in iTunes.

    I'm having the same issue.  iTunes sees my iPhone 4 and I can access the contents via itunes, but the sync won't work - it starts to sync, then states, "waiting for sync to start," then after a few minutes ends up with an error, stating, "The iPhone "XXXX" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  This happens whether I try to sync with iCloud or my computer.
    I tried rebooting the iPhone, rerstarting the computer (Mac Pro with 10.8.1), switching out the cable - all to no effect.
    I downloaded iOS 6, but I didn't want to install it until I can successfully perform a backup with my computer - just in canse iOS 6 install fails.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Why won't iTunes 10.6.3 work after installing Mountain Lion?

    Why won't iTunes 10.6.3 work after installing Mountain Lion?

    Instead of downloading from Apple updates on my computer, I went to apple.com, loaded it from there and the update worked fine. 

  • Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
    Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
    After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
    After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
    Perfection!

  • Why won't iTunes launch like it used to?

    I had this problem going on ever since I updated it. My problem is that I would launch iTunes like I would normally do, but it started to bug me because I couldn't launch it again. Once I launched it for my purposes it's fine but after I close it and I try to launch it again, it wouldn't launch at all. It would seem that I can only open it once after I log into my laptop [Windows 7]. So everytime I have to launch it again, I would have to restart my laptop. Is there anyone else that has this problem? This has been problematic for me since I can't open iTunes like it used to.

    I came here for help because I am also having the same problem.  We have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and it it still won't work.  I thought I had it figured out when I went to my task manager and manually closed iTunes from there, but when I re-opened it, iTunes froze and I couldn't get it to work.  It's been going on for us for close to a week now.  Having to restart my computer every time I need to get on it is going to get real old real quick.  We have done it twice now and I am getting ready to restart it again.  Even though I hate that other people are having the same problem, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one having it.  Thought it was just my computer messing up!  Please update if you figure out a better way to get it to work.

  • Why won't iTunes launch after being updated?

    I have now updated iTunes to the latest version.  (I am writing this on April 12, 2013.) When I did that, it continued to work on my Windows computer.  However, since I closed iTunes several days ago, I cannot get it to launch anymore.  I click on the icons on my desktop, and nothing happens.  What can I do to make iTunes work?  Thank you for any help you can provide.

  • Why won't Firefox open a second tab after upgrading to version 30?

    I run Windows 7 Pro. Up until the latest auto update I could clcik the plus sign on the tab and open new tabs. Won't work now. Please advise.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Why won't music play on my ipod after upgrading to ios 6?

    I installed the new ios 6 software and since then my music have not been playing on my ipod touch. I am already frustrated since I recently wyped away my computer and reinstalled everything, but itunes only backed up the music I bought from the itunes store to my computer, instead of my entire library saved to itunes and icloud, but I digress. At this moment I just want to know how come none of my music will play on my ipod touch after the ios 6 upgrade.

    Try hooking the iPod up to the computer, turning off sync for music ("ok" to deleting songs from device), then turning that back on and resyncing.

  • Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

    Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?  I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8.  I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is.  I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me.  Everything else syncs except Podcasts.  I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again?  Thanks!

    One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

    Hi;
    This FAQ should describe the issue - you need to be using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF, Preview on the Mac breaks the PDF so it is no longer usable: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

  • Why won't iTunes read an RSS file

    I have had Radio National podcasts in itunes for a while but it has not updated since Dec 13 and I went to the website to download the new podcasts and it says that I do not have a RSS reader loaded?
    Why won't itunes do it?
    thanks
    Lee

    Are you talking about one of these:
    http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/podcasts/program/
    Click where it says 'Subscribe in iTunes'. When the page opens, click 'View in iTunes'. When iTunes opens and shows the Store page click 'Subscribe'.
    If that doesn't answer it, you need to give more details as to what exactly you are doing.

  • Why won't Itunes let me use my store credit to gift an item

    I want to gift a couple songs to my boyfriend, but when i try to gift the songs it asks for my credit card information. i have over $100 in itunes store credit from gift cards. i want to use that money to purchase the songs i will be gifting. why won't itunes allow that? i looked up tutorials and gifting should be easy and all you submit is the other person's email but thats not happening for me.

    sadly  Apple does not allow you to gift using iTunes Store credit
    that's just the way it works I have tried myself and I know it doesn't let you
    Sorry
