iTunes Quits on Launch

Hi Carl,

Which version of iTunes, first of all?

Try re-downloading iTunes and install again. This should add back the missing iTunesHelper.app.

lmao wrong blog....

aha! so that's what i did...it's been driving me crazy that my itunes hasn't been working. only problem now is that i've tried installing again and it hasn't fixed the problem...

Hi Carl,

I found it for you... now that I'm home (was at work earlier).

Right-click (or Ctrl-click) on the iTunes icon in your Applications folder, and choose "Show Package Contents".

Open the Resources folder revealed to you, and scroll through the files until you see the iTunesHelper application. (it has the exact same icon as iTunes)

Simply drag that back into your Login Items and restart the computer. It should then work.

I would also repair permissions in Disk Utility following this, just in case...
