My iTunes won’t open!

One day, I double-clicked on the iTunes logo on my desktop, but nothing happened! I tried putting in a CD and plugging in my iPod (it’s still plugged in, but it’s only been, like, five minutes) but nothing happened! Help!

Hey, guess what? It started to work! There was a power outage at my house last night and when the computer turned back on, iTunes was up! Thanks for your suggestion.

i had intermittent problems opening my i tunes on my macbook, then my hard drive failed, new hard drive all went ok till a few weeks ago when i accepted a software upgrade from apple the problem has returned. i try to open i tunes and the graphic equalizer comes on the display but the library doesnt show. my way around this is to leave an music file on my desktop and when i click on that it opens i tunes.

Mine does that. I have to restart the laptop to get it back up. Only doesnt come up if I close it first. Not fun.

i unplugged my hard drive by mistake and everything has been working like a dream since, i tunes loads perfectly and the laptop comes on much more quickly, i have used the mac janitor and clamshell which i saw recommended by people on the net and all seems fine at the moment, i accepted the i tunes upgrade with the new visualizer and the genius application and that seems grand as well.

try putting a music file on ypur desk top, drag it off a usb stick or whatever, then click on it, it should open i tunes for you,
if i tunes doesnt come on the screen but the logo appears at the top, click on window and click on itunes, if that doesnt work try putting in a music cd in the drive and that should open itunes, best of luck
