Why won't my iTunes launch anymore?

My iTunes was working great less than a week ago. The last thing I remember doing before it stopped working is updating to the most recent version (10.4). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, disabling Bonjour from the startup, deleting the iTunes config. files, and even Running as an Admin. Nothing seems to work. I've tried looking on Apple's site for a place to download an older version (since I obvioulsy can't restore from within iTunes as it won't launch) but can't find anything at all. I've got 2 other Windows 7 systems in the house and they seem to be working just fine. Please help! Thanks.

Got it sorted! I managed to find a download for iTunes 10.3 and installed it. When I tried to open it, it wouldn't allow me to because my library file had been created be a new version of iTunes. When I then installed 10.4 on top of 10.3, everything worked. So good luck to anyone else having the same issue.

  • Why won't DW CS5 launch anymore?

    I read the faq and searched past posts. The one suggestion that might have helped -- deleting the Dreamweaver CS5 cache -- didn't change anything. It's been about six weeks since I was in DW, and now every time I click the program icon, all I get is a system "honk" and brief flicker of the entire screen. Checked the Task Manager, there is no DW process running. My PC is Windows XP Pro SP3 with lots of RAM and free hard drive space. I've checked the hard drive for system-level errors, and defragged.  Other likely causes?

  • Why won't my Itunes update to 11.4 It always asks to restart but once i restart it, it just goes back to saying i need to update it again?

    Looks like you have a 3G not a 3Gs...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    iPhone 3G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

    why won't my apps launch?

    something to do with the task thing in your computer to get the app thing working and then syncing it to your ipod. I cant remember what it was you had to do with  the task thing in the control panel. but hope that somewhat helps.

    If you are getting an error message then what is the full text of it ?
    The temporary store holding charge is standard, it should disappear within a few days or so.

  • On my iphone why won't my iTunes let me download anything?

    I'm trying to download a tv episode and iTunes will not work at all. Yes I have WiFi but it still won't download anything!! I need help!

    have you had this problem previously? the itunes store has been acting buggy today, there's another thread about it, and i was on itunes earlier this evening and was having problems.

  • Why won't the iTunes Store allow me to make purchases and view my account information?

    Hello,
    I'm having several issues with my iTunes store account and was wondering if someone could help me. This is basically what happened...
    Problem #1 - iTunes store will not let me purchase music:
    I signed into iTunes (i.e. entered my Apple ID and Password). I looked up some music and pressed "Buy." A pop-up appears and says, "Are you sure you want to buy and download "Song Name?" As a response, I press the "Buy" button. Then another pop-up appears and says, "Improve Apple ID security - To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose 3 security questions and answers" and it also requires my Apple ID and Password. I enter my Apple ID and Password and press the "Continue" button. Another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" (Note: I am already signed in at this point). So, I enter my Apple ID and Password again. However, the "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" appears again. I'm signed in, but the iTunes store apparently believes that I'm not. Why is this happening and how do I solve this?
    Problem # 2 - iTunes store will not let me view my account information:
    While signed in, I click the button at the top right corner of the iTunes store (i.e., the button with my Apple ID on it - [email protected]). Then I click "Account." A pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." So I enter my Apple ID and password and click the "Account Info" button (Note: I am already signed in at this point). Then another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." Once again, I enter my Apple ID and password, then press the "Account Info" button. Then, the same "Sign in to view account information" pop-up appears again.
    Basicially, I can sign into my iTunes store account, but when I want to make purchases or view my account information, iTunes continuously asks me to sign in even when I am already signed in.
    Also, it might be helpful to note the following:
    - I want to change my account info because my old credit card expired and I now have a new one (and would like to change my payment info accordingly)
    - Also, I changed my password in hopes that it would help solve these problems. However, this did not help in the least.
    I hope someone can help me out because I do not want anyone else to access my account (and spend my money) due to its apparent malufunctioning. And thanks in advance for your help!
    Cheers,
    K.E.K.

    I had similiar problems with my itunes account and after some searching found a response that helped me - perhaps it will help you also...
    It has to do with the cookie settings in Safari (of all things!)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3559322?start=0&tstart=0
    I had the problem where when I started up itunes I was constantly prompted for my password regarding something about "automatic downloads". No matter how many times I typed it in, the prompt would just keep re-appearing (I tried about 8-10 times).
    When I tried to resolve the issue (based on another thread) by viewing my itunes account (in the top left drop down window where your user name is), I was getting odd messages about "make sure the date is correct", and itunes would not let me view my account.
    By turning OFF the option to block ALL cookies in Safari, the problem(s) have gone away.
    Open Safari - go to prefs - click on Privacy tab - make sure "block cookies" is set to "from third parties..."
    Good luck.
