Found a fix for iTunes 10.6.1 store and connection issues

Been having trouble for months not being able to connect to the store and then after the most recent update couldn't even connect to the internet to import a physical CD (wouldn't connect to Gracenotes), import purchases I made on my phone or even to check for iTunes updaes.  After reading some other posts about the winsocket concerns I ran a diagnostic and found a real player file called speedster used to enhance download speed using the winsocket.  I just uninstalled realplayer (I did have real player plus btw) and BAM all issues with iTunes were fixed.  Opened iTunes, store loaded and all my purchases from my iphone and ipod touch started downloading.  Simple, but ridiculous it caused that much trouble and not been an update to fix it yet seeing months of problems out there.

Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.

  • This is the fix for "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close .

    I recently purchased a new laptop and tried to get my library transferred. iTunes wouldn’t open; QuickTime wouldn’t open. I was near a heart attack. I tried the fixes listed in the forum, but they didn’t work. Then I discovered:
    The fix needs to be done in a proper order!
    a. Delete iTunes and QuickTime from Add/Remove programs
    b. Go to C > Program files an delete the folders for iTunes and QuickTime. If QT will not allow you to delete the program because it’s “in use”, then go to Start > Run > configsys > Startup and deselect “qttask”. You will have to reboot and get past the selective start up/diagnostic screen. Then go back to C > Program files and you will now be able to delete the QuickTime folder.
    c. For good order’s sake, delete any desktop shortcuts and empty your Recycle Bin.
    d. Reboot
    e. Download the STAND ALONE version of QuickTime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    f. Install the stand alone version; reboot. At this time, when the diagnostic window comes up, you can reselect “qttask”
    g. Download the QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    h. Install the iTunes program. The stand alone will take precedence over the imbedded version of QuickTime.
    i. Reboot
    When your system has completed the reboot, you should be able to double-click the newly installed desktop shortcut; give it a few minutes and it should open. Mine did – and I tried everything else. If this does NOT work, then there is a conflict with something else in your system and you will have to go through the configsys elimination process, which is a whole lot more work.
    Best of luck!

    Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
    If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead.

    The first thing to check is Quicktime as iTunes will not work without it.
    Does Quickime launch OK and work normally?
    If it does use the method in this article to troubleshoot iTunes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    If QUicktime does not launch, describe what happens with any error message in full.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    If so uninstall them, they are know to cause problems with QUickitme.
    Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes (it is not the default option):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • Is there a fix for itunes 10.5 win xp and/or is there a way to convert my itunes library to 128/256k/bps (vbr)so songs are listenable?

    RE:ROBOT NOISE  WIN XP BITRATE PROBLEM..is there a fix or is there one on the way for itunes 10.5 for win xp bit rate problem,a.k.a. :robot noise,and or is there a way to convert my music files to itunes plus - 128/256kbps(vbr) as this is the only format that plays right?

    I don't know of any utilities that can repair audio files, just as there is no auto-picture repair utility. However, due to the structure of an aac file (and for iTunes they all come "wrapped" in an mp4 wrapper), it depends on where the damage is. Your aac file is actually comprised of around 60 'atoms' and only 1 of them ("mdat") is the audio. If the damage occurred in a non-mdat atom, you might be able to resurrect your m4a file.
    See if you can open these songs in Quicktime Player, and export then as AIFF, and then re-import them using iTunes. You can also direct copy the audio track with a more comprehensive tool called MP4Box (part of an opensource tool called "gpac"). You can get a mp4box binary in a tool called ffmpegx. You'll have to choose "show package contents" and use it Terminal.app's command line:
    /Supply/path/to/--->/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/MP4Box -add ~/Desktop/Closer.m4a#audio -new ~/Desktop/try.m4a
    (substitute the ~/Desktop paths with your files; note: you depending on your files, the '#audio' might need to be replaced with '#TrackID=1' or appropriate number).
    I would advise you to try the mp4box way first (to minimize audio loss with multiple conversions) and listen to each song, checking each. If it fails, then I would try the Quicktime way. If that fails, I would go back to the source material. Whether you use Quicktime or mp4box, you'll loose the metadata. You'll need to re-do that.
    and I agree with dwb that iTunes didn't cause it. I would save things to cdr/dvdr before your data loss gets larger.

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

  • FOUND A FIX FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 11.9.900.152

    I have Windows 7, 64bit and Internet Explorer 11 installed.  I found the fix for Adobe Flash Player after 2 days of doing everything.  I thought that the fix should be something very easy and it was.  I spent 2 full days doing all kinds of ridiculous things, i.e. uninstalling, reinstalling, restore computer, deactiving XActive, reactivating, changing stuff under internet options, etc.  The problem was Internet Explorer 11 update caused Adobe Flash Player not to work or recognize the flash player, or installing a new router caused it not to work.  Websites kept displaying messages to download Adobe Flash Player when I already did.  There appeared to be a conflict where some videos played and other did not.  Youtube did not work anymore.  All the problems that other people posted under these forums happened to me.  I could not play the games I was playing before, etc.  Anyway, I am NOT a tech person and understand little and almost gave up when by accident I found the fix and EVERYTHING works without rebooting anything, uninstalling or reinstalling etc. as all the people in the forums posted.  Everything was so complicated!!
    THE FIX:  Go to Goodgle Chrome browser.  If you don't have it, download it.  The Adobe Flash Player is included in this browser.  Anyway, at the very top RIGHT HAND SIDE there are lines in a square formation.  Click on that and go to SETTINGS.  Go to very bottom and click on SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS.  SCROLL DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM and click on RESET BROWSER SETTINGS.  After I did that, EVERYTHING WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! Youtube worked, my game worked in BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER 11.  It was like a miracle and  a simple fix.
    I hope I can save some people ALOT of aggravation and frustration.  Adobe should have this fix displayed PROMINENTLY EVERYWHERE if it is indeed this simple.  Let me know if this helps.  All I know is that I had the same issues as everyone else in the forums and now it is all fixed.  I have very limited knowledge, almost none.  It just seemed that something was blocking the videos from coming up.

    Thanks Mike.  I'm not sure what I'm doing but I also re-downloaded the flash player and I got YouTube videos to play again.  I have IE11 that I tried to uninstall (it won't let me) so I had to use a restore point, so videos I noticed in yahoo.ca can't play but I read lots of people having issues with this.  But, by using a restore point, and re-downloading the flash player (a couple of time until it took), I got Youtube and my game back on IE11.  I plan to use Chrome Google though after this experience as everything works there

  • Found a fix for lightbox working locally but not on site!

    This was reply origionally but I felt I should post it. It seems to be a common problem and I was unable to find a resolution so here it is....
    I found a fix for something similar that occurred on my machine. I too was seeing no problems locally but when I posted it to my site, it just had the placeholder and no images....
    Apparently, dreamweaver is smarter than the browser... (maybe incorrect statement) however..... the file extensions are case sensitive!
    I had this-------- <A href="Img/CGM_1.JPG" border="0"  rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG" /></a>
    <a href="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                      <a href="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                      <a href="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
    Well, I didnt think anything was so bad, all of the colors were right I wasn't getting any warnings.... wtf?
    As it turns out, and this is only because I just started a new image set after testing an individual - - baby steps - - if you use the properties bar at the bottom of DW, it applies a different case for specific parts...... i.e. this is what it produced
    <A HREF="Img/CGM_1.jpg" border="0"  rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg" /></a>
                      <a HREF="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                      <a HREF="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                      <a HREF="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
    Notice the HREF's are now UPPER case and the jpg's are now lower case. !!!! really?!?!?
    Also, another thing to look out for is the folder/ in front of your thumbnail; make sure it is there. In my case I use my sam "Img" folder, not the "images" folder that lightbox creates.
    Hope this helps, I beat my head against the wall for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to figure this out. I couldn't find anything on the internet. I'm going to post this so others having this issue get it resolved. I found those, just no resolution.

    Thanks for your quick response
    I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
    There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
    I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
    Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
    Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
    Thanks again for the Help

    Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

    It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
    Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed.  Sorry.
    You do have some options at this point.
    If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
    If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option.  However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

    Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked. 
    Any advice?
    Thanks.
    Alex.

    Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
    If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
    You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
    Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
    1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
    If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
    If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
    Good Luck

  • Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

    This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
    This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
    First off my machine:
    Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
    2 Gig RAM
    Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
    Observed problem:
    Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
    This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
    As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
    The Fix:
    Close iTunes 7
    Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
    Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
    Start
    Run
    Type: dxdiag
    Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
    Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
    Exit
    Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
    Open game, or other program
    Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
    This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
    Good luck!

    i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
    my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
    i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
    well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them
