Why Won't iTunes Open After Updating?

Hello,
I updated iTunes today because I wanted to import songs from a CD onto it. After updating iTunes, I received the following messages after trying to open iTunes. (http://imgur.com/Rv2jOWa) The second message would appear after clicking "Okay" on the first message. I tried reinstalling iTunes through Apple. I also uninstalled myself after Apple's way didn't work 3 times in a row. I tried twice myself and after all that it still displays those messages after trying to open iTunes. I've never had a problem with iTunes before.

Why won't Firefox open after updating? Says to close, but how?

Windows 7. Attempted to update to latest Firefox today, but it won't open on my screen. When I attempt to either use the previous version or delete it, it says to close it first. How do I close something I can't see? Thanks.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).<br />
If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Why won't itunes open after being downloaded?

Please help I am about to cry with frustration! I have tried for a week to install itunes on my laptop for my new nano. The download seems to work but when I click on the icon itunes does not open. Quicktime works. I have tried uninstalling fully and then re-installing after re-starting but had no joy.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you

No error message at all. Hourglass appears for a few seconds and then nothing.
I don't have Norton and have tried disabling my virus software and then running it but still nothing.
Ahhh, thank you kindly. that's already ruled out a couple of possible culprits.
One last preliminary question aimed at diagnosing the issue prior to trying a treatment.
reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

Why won't Thunderbird open after Mac reboot?

Using Thunderbird on Macbook Pro for a couple of years, no problem. Recently moved house; same router and ISP but been getting invalid certificate messages on high-security sites ("Your connection is not private"). Changed two certificates to "always trust" and rebooted. Now Thunderbird won't respond, even after 2nd reboot as mentioned in another question - I've done my homework ;-)
thanks in advance for your help!

I mentioned the high security sites simply in terms of the general context of my problem. Thunderbird still won't open and I would very much appreciate someone's experience to understand why and what I need to do to get it to start again. All my emails are filed in Thunderbird and if it won't open, I can't work. Thanks for your help.

Why won't iTunes open in my PC?

I tried opening it but then it wouldn't open. I tried to remove it and then installing it again. It still wouldn't open. I did this step a couple of times already but I still got the same results, apparently. I read the steps on Removing and Reinstalling iTunes here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. I'm afraid to follow all the steps because I fear that deleting the other components might delete back-ups. I really need to redownload iTunes because I need to restore my new iPhone 5s from my iPhone 5 back up and I don't have another laptop where the phone was recently backed-up. Please help because there are some really important business information in the phone. Also, before the 5s problem, the iPhone 5 was updated to iOS 7.0.6. It was backed up before that but then the data could not be restored after updating. Please help ASAP. Thanks My laptop is a Song VAIO Windows 7 Home Premium

Do you get an error message when you try to open iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Why won't iTunes open?

My iTunes will not open. I tried many things that I have found online already, but it simply will not open. I tried repairing QuickTime, iTunes, deleting Bonjour, deleting iTunes, reinstalling it, updating it, restarting the computer etc. Nothing seems to be working. I click the icon, and it seems like it will open (the little loading circle comes up) and then nothing... I am using an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop. I recently purchased another iPod (iPod classic 7th Gen) and after plugging it into the computer, iTunes wouldn't open. I am not sure if this was a coincidence, meaning this somehow happened between the last time I used iTunes and buying this iPod, or if it is somehow linked to me plugging in my new iPod.. Please help!

The simplest trick for this might be to delete your library file, then re-add all your music back in. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two.
Your library file is in My Documents: My Music: Itunes: Itunes Library.

Why won't iTunes open when I plug in my iPod?

I plugged in my iPod, and if I already have iTunes open, I need to close it because it freezes. However, when I try to re-open iTunes, it will not open. I recently updated iTunes to 7.2 and I also updated my iPod software to the most current one. What should I do? I wanted to restore my iPod, because it kept skipping songs before, but now I can't even open up iTunes to restore my iPod. Please help .

Over time I've come across a number of posts concerning iTunes for Windows not opening. One conclusion from other Windows users that you might want to check out has been that it could be the result of malware on your PC. The advice has been to try scanning for malware with AVG Anti-Spyware, you'll find a free trial download at this link: ewido Networks

WHy isn't itunes opening after uploading the newest software updates

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 iTunes open? It's been deleted and redownloaded seven times now!

I used to have my iTunes on a mac and it worked just fine.. but I had to switch everything over to my computer, which is a pc... so I had to re-format my nano. That, as you know, deleted all of my songs. I downloaded iTunes 7.. it wouldn't open... I deleted it and tried the process again. Nothing happened. I did it about seven more times. Nothing. So now, I have a nano with no songs... and a computer that won't open iTunes. I have Windows XP. I see no reason for this. It's driving me insane. I'm ready to throw it all out the window. PLEASE HELP ME... I WILL DO ANYTHING!!!!!!

I have tried deleting programs to create more space on my hard drive, thinking that was the problem, but no success. I notice when I try to launch itunes my CPU usage goes to 100%, drops to 4% and then the application stops trying to launch and the hour glass goes away. I tried reinstalling my original software (iTunes 4,I think), and it worked ok, but I was not allowed to use the music store unless I upgraded to iTunes 7. As soon as I did that, it started all over again with the iTunes application not starting. I do not get any type of error at all. I get nothing, just like you!!!
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Why won't illustrator open after I've bought it

Illustrator won't open can you please advise why? only the top bar comes up and i can't open up a new document.

Sarah,
You could try to reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Why won't iTunes open? It says it "unexpectedly quit."

I was just on it a few hours ago. The battery died, and when I tried to get on iTunes after it had charged, it wouldn't open.

Why won't iTunes open up?

What is it with iTunes 6? I don't understand. Why, out of nowhere, does this version fail to work? All other versions worked fine for me. I regret upgrading to iTunes 6. I've looked around the different posts that related to my problem and I've tried some suggestions, including MSCONFIG, deleting that file in the Apple Computer folder, and uninstalling and reinstalling my iTunes. Are there any solutions that actually work? If so, I'd really like to know. And I don't wanna mess around with my anti-virus program or the firewall. Come on. Honestly. Is there anything else that I can possibly do to fix this? I'd really love to upload some new music to my iPod. How many times can you listen to the same songs over and over?

There's no reason why you should have any issues after a restore (which is a common fix for many iPod ills).
However, here's a couple of articles that addresses such a problem. Maybe keep them handy for future reference?
