iTunes will not open in Snow Leopard

I created a new 2009 Intel mini which had Snow Leopard pre-installed on it.  I had to manually transfer my files from leopard (10.5.8.) of my G4 mini on it.  I did not move something related to iTunes again.  However, the iTunes application (v.11.4) on the new mini does not at all.  I read messages that indicate should I uninstall and reinstall iTunes.

My questions are:

1. should I uninstall/reinstall iTunes?  If so, how should I do that specifically, that is, it involves more than just drag the iTunes application located in the Applications folder to the trash?  Are there files in other areas of the computer that should also be deleted?  If so, what are they and where are they?

2. I have the Snow Leopard installation disc.  Is it possible to use to reinstall iTunes only?

3. when I download iTunes to open on the new mini, what should I do to get the content from iTunes to my mini G4 copied (manually) in the Intel mini?

Here's what's currently the user > library > music on Intel Mini with Snow Leopard:

Thanks for your help!

  • 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.

    I tried to start the computer in safe mode and that's the problem even in safe mode.

    I also tried to use the disk utility and indicated no problems with the disk.

    Hi JeffinAptos,

    Looks like your iTunes app becomes unresponsive and make your Mac does not respond as well. You can try to update your OS X by installing the update found here combo. Update of OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Combo

    If the problem is persistent after update to OS X, it's the iTunes app to relocate by downloading a new copy at this link. Download iTunes

    I am sure that these procedures will have your iTunes app run correctly without delay.
    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Have a wonderful day.

    Hi Hal!

    Go to your iTunes folder in the finder and delete the Genius.itdb file.
    This updates all your genius music recommendations and should allow you to gain access to iTunes again.

  • iTunes will not open

    One day lost trying to 'open' iTunes on my laptop. For some reason, that it does not open when I double click on the icon? I have tried repairing, uninstall and then install. Ive tried clicking the shortcut and crossed the program click the icon... nothing files.

    Don't know what else to do? I'm on Windows 10, after installation it says on the Wizard "wish to run" obviously I selected Yes or something like this, but it did not open.

    Ive tried plugging my 6s iPhone and iPad in the hope that itunes would come in... but nothing.

    Any help would be much appreciated guys. As you may have guessed im not very technica.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not run under Snow Leopard

    Hello

    I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac. Here's what I did.

    (1) installed Snow Leopard 10.6

    (2) installed all the updates of OS X (including 10.6.1)

    (3) installed Quark Xpress-8.12

    (4) installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard

    (5) installed all updates of Adobe (no updates associated with Illustrator)

    (6) installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 (v13.2.1)

    Photoshop starts very well.

    When I launch Illustrator it crashes just after the start screen is displayed.

    Any ideas please?

    Couldn't find anything on the Internet really - if cannot get a response soon, so I have to go back to the leopard .

    Thank you

    Mike.

    I would suspect suitcase and maybe a corrupt police could be the cause of this problem and the database is corrupt.

    However before any attempt of software really point the finger this removes all the unnecessary fonts then

    to do this

    first Illustrator altogether and then;

    I go to the users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash this settings folder.
    then see if Illustrator works well. If this is not the case, try a new user account if it works very well under a new user so I think it's the police database.

  • HP Officejet Pro K550 will not appear in Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    When I try to print, I get an error message. I installed the new software of the printer from the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 install disc as the software on the HP site is only 10.6.2. Printer is ready but-mistake.  Printer was a network of airports on an old computer running Panther, now connected via USB to a MacBookPro upgraded to OS 10.6.3. I'm so frustrated I could tear my hair out!

    The printer is connected directly to a MBP or shared between both of them?  I'm a bit confused on this point.

    Your printer isn't a K550 plain or has he the ability to network (the K550 has a dtn suffix or such)?

    Do a software update, and then reset the printing system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (Ctrl) click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System.
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • ITunes will not open after installation on own windows.

    Hello good people. I'm having a problem with iTunes. First, I installed my card motherboard and CPU to 970 MSI gaming and AMD FX6300 respectively. Secondly, I tried solving this problem on and off for 12 hours now. I did, step by step, everything included on this page of troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates .  I even went as far as the PCFixit of use to install each individual program. I also tried uninstalling everything and using the version "for older video cards. 570 GeForce gtx if it matters.

    In addition, Quicktime is not installed with the installer, so this isn't the issue. I even went so far as QuickTime installation, repair and try again, still without success. I don't also get MSI error. I tried disabling my firewall completely, and I currently have no installed antivirus program.

    The installation seems to be just fine, everything seems to be in its place, but when I double click the Itunes, or run as admin, I get the small circle of loading for 1-2 seconds and nothing. If I look at the Task Manager, itunes.exe appears under process for about 2 seconds and then disappears. If I shift-ctrl-click, I get a popup window that says that itunes is running in safe mode, but if I click on one of the options, he runs away and disappears.

    All advice is appreciated. I actually upgraded my mobo and CPU because I've had problems before with my computer does not recognize is not my phone, tablet or anything in any apple product. Same thing for the iphone 4, 5, 6 and ipad mini 3. Now, my computer has no problems with recognition of the device, but I can't seem to install iTunes to do something with it.

    (OS is Windows 7 Ultimate)

    Thanks in advance,

    Cam

  • iTunes will not random on my iPhone6S after updating IOS

    My iTunes will not BE NOT random at all after I did this 10.0.2 software update!  I mean, if I hit random play on one of my playlists, does not choose a song randomly on the reading list and literally play it over and over and over again.  Basically, it does the OPPOSITE of brewing.  It is a major problem and my phone and my iTunes worked very well before this update! Suggestions?   Please?   Or, is the way to Apple, this to trick me into buying a whole new phone?

    Hello Vesper40,

    I understand that, despite trying to mix a playlist, your iPhone is just to play one song of this playlist repeatedly. In such a situation, you may need to disable the screen playing snooze in the music app.

    Control playback. Tap a song to play and show the MiniPlayer. Tap the MiniPlayer to display the now playing screen, where you can do the following:

    Repeat steps. Glisser slide upward, then press on to repeat an album or a playlist. Double click to repeat one piece.
