12.3.2 iTunes won't open...

I recently noticed that iTunes no longer opens on my MacBook Pro after update. The operating system is Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and the iTunes is 12.3.2. The app will bounce on the dock for about a second and then will crash without even opening. Restarting the computer does nothing to help the problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

iTunes: solving problems with third-party iTunes plug-ins - https://support.apple.com/HT203395 - hold command and Option (for Mac OS X) or by holding down the keys SHIFT and command (Windows) while opening iTunes

If the foregoing does not diagnose the problem try starting iTunes while now the option key and create a new test library.  If it works then your old library file (iTunes Library.itl) is damaged and must be replaced from a backup or reconstructed.

If none of the above no matter what you may have to reinstall iTunes:

  • Starting today, iTunes will not open.

    12.5.1 iTunes won't open on ElCapitan dated 16/09/16.   Cannot use same function to get control of the computer.   I get the rotation beach ball and the computer just hangs.  I need to use the button to stop the computer from starting.

  • iTunes won't sync contacts outlook 2010

    iTunes won't sync contacts outlook 2010 because microsoft add Skype. iTunes syncs only Skype contacts. I don't use Skype don't have contacts in the Skype contacts folder. Cannot add contacts. Don't care about Skype. I want Apple to fix this synchronization with Outlook.

    It worked for me with an iPhone 6s.

    MOVE SEVERAL OUTLOOK 2010 CONTACTS FOR iPHONE

    Step 1: In Outlook, create the vcf files (Variant call Format), which are text files also known as the digital business cards and send them to your own e-mail address. To do this, select all the Outlook contacts you want, right-click on it and select 'Front Contact' sharing group, and then select "as a calling card."

    Step 2: Outlook will create cards individual vcf for each of your contacts as attachments to an email.  Send plain text (select on the Format Text tab), otherwise the iPhone Notes contacts section will contain unwanted formatting.  Send e-mail and files to your own e-mail address.

    Step 3: Create a folder to contain the individual vcf files, for example c:\vcfcards.

    Step 4: Open the e-mail you sent to yourself in Outlook and save all the vcf attached files in the c:\vcfcards folder (file, save attachments, OK, select the vcfcards folder, do not enter a file name).

    Step 5: Now open the command prompt window (in Windows 10 right click Start, and then select command prompt).

    Step 6: At the command prompt, type cd c:\vcfcards.  Press ENTER to continue. Your command prompt is now moved to the vcfcards folder.

    Step 7: Now merge the multiple vcf files in the vcfcards file in a single vcf file.
    At the command prompt, type: copy /a *.vcf c:\all.vcf and then press ENTER.

    Step 8: Create another e-mail and join the newly created file all.vcf.
    Send e-mail to your address (if Outlook is set to download files from the server immediately, close Outlook after the email is sent, thereby ensuring that the email will arrive on the cell phone).

    Step 9: Get your iPhone and read the e-mail from there.
    Open the vcf file you created and attached to the email and press Add all Contacts.

    If there are several groups of contacts in Outlook, the process can be repeated for each group.  File names above could be changed to reflect the group names.  However, it will be a group merged on the iPhone.

  • iTunes won't let me not sync my phone more?

    So I've recently updated my 5 c to 10 iOS iPhone and usually, if I connect my phone to my laptop (it's all a Dell Inspiron 15 with 10 windows), iTunes will automatically open and start to synchronize. Before, I had an older version of iTunes and it said that there was an invalid response received on my phone so I uninstalled iTunes and got the latest version. But now with the new version of iTunes when I connect my phone to my laptop, something which is called "Phone comparison" appears instead of iTunes and I don't know what to do. If I open iTunes manually, it does not recognize that a phone is connected and the option to show the information of my iPhone is not there.

    What version of iTunes are you running? Where did you downloaded it go?

    See you soon,.

  • 29.0.1 Firefox won't open links that require a new tab to be opened.

    29.0.1 Firefox won't open links that require a new tab to be opened.

    What type of links are those?

    As far as I KNOW, there is HTML code specific opening in a new tab, as it is to open a new window. Please enlighten me if this is something new to HTML5 that I haven't read.

    Now, Firefox has a preference in Options > tabs to open new windows in a new tab instead - you have this pref checked?

  • iTunes cannot be opened...

    When I try to open iTunes, this message appears: "iTunes cannot be opened while it is being updated. AppStore says updated to El Capitan. I don't want to update lest Photoshop CS6 will not work. I read what other users have problems with PS after the upgrade. How can I my iTunes to open without upgrade!

    Thank you for your help

    Lisa

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • The use of PDFs victory 8.1 on some web pages won't open or download why?

    On some pages web Firefox won't open or download the pdf files. You use Internet Explorer on these same pages, they open fine.

    No problem here with PDF links under articles.
    For me, they open the PDF Viewer integrated into a tab.

    You can set the pref pdfjs.disabled true on the topic: config page to disable the build-in the PDF Viewer.

    You can check the value of pref plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types on the topic: config page and delete the application/pdf if it is present or reset the pref via the context menu by default if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not integrated PDF Viewer).

    Hello, it seems that you run a very outdated version of firefox & old plugins - this is a serious security risk, because there have been dozens of corrected critical vulnerabilities from firefox 3.6 was released (it was more than two years ago).

    You must do the following as soon as possible:

    • Download and install the latest version of firefox from getfirefox.com
