iTunes Won't Open?!?!


Recommended Posts

Spykes, You are the only other person I have seen with this error!

Mine occurred after I installed Max's aqua extreme. I used the package installer that replaces the real files, and iTunes did this after it installed. Unfortunately, I tried everything and nothing could remedy it. I tried restoring iTunes skin, reinstalling iTunes, everything...

I ended up doing a complete backup/format. This happened on 10.4.2. The Aqua Extreme package with the iTunes skin worked fine in 10.4.1.

If it were me i would do this -

First, i'd restart, see if that remided it..

If it didn't i'd search my system for "com.apple.iTunes" and delete all the files, then delete the iTunes .app file, empty my trash... go to apple, redownload iTunes and reinstall...

if it STILL did it id go to terminal and do this... cd /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS then ./iTunes and see if it gave an error in the terminal.

If it still does it.. umm, reinstall osx and never mess with resources again :laugh:

Did you by any chance screw around with iTunes' iTunes.rsrc file? Last time I got that error, I installed Aqua Extreme with iTunes mod which isn't updated for iTunes 4.9.

The only way you can fix it (without a complete format) is by extracting iTunes.app from the iTunes installer with Pacifist or something similar and replace your current .app file with it or ask someone to send you iTunes's .rsrc file.

It's really easy to fix once you know how. ;)

If you want iTunes to be "Aqua Extreme'd" too you'll have to do it manually with ThemePark by extracting the Aqua Extreme iTunes.rsrc file from the installer package with Pacifist, extract the modified tiffs and drag them into the default iTunes.rsrc file.

End result:
