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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Here is the correct way to UN install all components of Apple before trying to re install iTunes:

  • 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:

  • From today, Firefox will not open the files Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader, despite my player put as a default value in the Applications tab.

    Until today, I had no trouble opening the files Adobe Acrobat with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an older version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express, which does not recognize later versions.) As of this morning, when I click on a file Acrobat, I wonder what program I want to open it with. Even when I click on 'do this automatically... ". ', it is not doing. He asks me every time.

  • 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

  • After installation of the parental control my Start Menu will not open

    I have recently installed Windows live family safety on my computer. After I've set up and he began to monitor user accounts, I found that the start menu will not open and when you navigate in Explorer, records that contain a large amount of files I can't navigate to files that lie near the bottom, as it keeps jumping to the top of the page.

    It is without doubt parental control that is causing the problem as the uninstall it sorts the problem. I ran SFC/scannow, a cmd in normall, and safe mode prompt and it doesn't find any errors

    . I had this same problem when I got the laptop in November and a successful to fall on a difficulty at the time (to install the resource from Dell that CD somehow fixed?), but now that either doesn't work or it was a coincidence that the problem has been resolved at the same time, it seemed however to solve the problem on some laptops that I worked at the time.

    I had to reset the laptop back to factory settings (ironically due to a system error that prevented the family of work safety!) I also tried a replair nothing works facility. When I installed Essentials I selected only parental controls must be installed.

    I am now at my wits end, I do not understand how a piece of Windows software is make a significantly Windows operating system!

    The installer I used was version 15.4.3555.308, is there a more up-to-date this solve the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
