I use Windows 7 and for some reason iTunes just stopped opening on my computer. Please help!!

I've exhaustively tried every method imaginable found in the Apple support forums, and nothing at all is working. I've uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and Quicktime, repaired Quicktime, opened iTunes in safe mode, tried creating a new user account on my computer, enabling hidden files to be shown, ending the iTunes process in ctrl + alt + delete, etc. Literally have tried everything, and NOTHING has worked. Sunday or Monday iTunes opened up fine, and now nothing. It's driving me nuts...can anyone maybe offer any tips that haven't been extensively covered in previous forums? As far as I know I didn't do anything differently to bring this on, so I am stumped :-(

I have had a few improper shutdowns, but I'd have my machine on for hours and still nothing happened. It also doesn't load if I plug my iPhone into the computer, which in the past has been an automatic load/sync on my computer. All I wanted to do is import a new album on my phone and instead I've run into a maelstrom of problems :-(
Thanks for the suggestions, b noir, and you and anyone else can feel free to keep 'em coming before they have to send someone to fit me for a straitjacket

  • I just reinstalled my entire computer system (Windows Vista 32 bit) and for some reason, iTunes will not download onto my computer. I get the 'Thank You' page but nothing happens.

    My firewall is just the same as always even BEFORE I had this problem. My Norton antivirus isn't blocking it and I've tried downloading earlier versions with the same problem.

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file fi

    I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

    (1)    Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32-bit, only). Attempting to install ATM on any newer version of Windows may actually disable Window's capability of rendering Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts, requiring a reinstallation of Windows.
    (2)    There is no need to use ATM to install any fonts under Windows.
    (3)    The file name ._DIN-bold is indicative of a MacOS font. These fonts cannot be installed on Windows systems.

  • I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and, for some reason, I am not getting Email alerts (I have to manually refresh my inboxes to see if I have any new messages) as I did on all other computers I have used.

    My Email accounts are through a local internet provider. What can I do?

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

  • I'm using Photoshop CC and for some reason i don't  have a browse in mini bridge, help!

    Does anyone no ho you get the Browse in mini bridge icon so i can drag and drop images without having to browse in bridge for them

    As of CC 2014 the mini bridge has been removed. You can install the previous version if you would like to use it.
    Or just have the full version of bridge running in the background, and switch between the two programs. Bridge would have been running for mini bridge to work anyways.

  • I use firefox as my web browser not internet explorer and for some reason itunes says i am not connected to the internet when i am connected.

    i use firefox as my internet browser. when i go to itunes to download music it says i am not connected to the internet when actualy i am. what am i doing wrong?

    Firefox is a web browser not a homepage.
    It sounds like you you have the old www.google.com/firefox/ start page that used to be the default homepage in Firefox before Firefox 4.0 sometime. It is not being maintained by Google anymore so either ignore the message or while in Firefox go to Tools->Options->General->Homepage section and change your homepage.

  • HT201272 Hi I puchased a few songs and for some reason they have been deleted from my computer.  Can you help me

    I purchased  Karma yoga by yoga specialists from the pure yoga moods album,  Om by Wade Irme Morrissette,  Sattvam on Asana 2,  Ganesh Mahatmantra on Sacred morning chants.  
    They have all be errased from my computer.  Is there any way someone can help me retrieve them or re-download them?
    Thank you

    If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded, and you haven't changed countries since buying them and they are still in your country's store (and they aren't hidden), then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If they show there but don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library ? If you do then deleting them from Music should then give you the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
    If you can't redownload them then do you have them on your backup of your library/downloads so that you can copy them back onto your library ? Or do you have them on your iOS device - you should be able to copy them back it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (though again, if you have them listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete them from there before Transfer Purchases will work).

  • HT4314 Hi, I've recently bought an ipad. I tried to transfer my iPhone game progress on to my ipad. For some reason this has not happened. Can anyone please help me???

    I can't seem to combine my progress from my iPhone games to my new ipad. I thought this was the exact point of game centre. I have heaps of games compatible for both. All bought legit and downloaded properly. No jailbreak or anything. Is there a way of solving this problem?

  • I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

    I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
    I can't access these images except to go into the applications. 
    Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive.  I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space.  Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use. 
    As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb.  Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
    So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
    -select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    -eliminate dups but maintain organization
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    -live happily ever after
    Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

    If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
    So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Referenced -  relocate your Masters first.
    These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an  iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    You can't. Every photo is in a Project.  They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
    You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app  you've purchased.
    The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install informatica 9.1 HF 2 connecting to 11g DB.
    when installing Informatica, I am at the DOMAIN CREATION windows and inputting the DB connect details and for some reason, it cannot connect to the DB.
    The DB is running
    any ideas?
    the error message states:
    THE CONNECTION FAILED: CORRECT THE DATABASE INFO AND TEST THE CONNECTION AGAIN..any help please
    thanks

    Yup, that did it.
    I actually had been made aware of the patch when I downloaded CF, but for some reason I thought it was difficult to install (I thought that you could only use the installer package if you could open Administrator). IAC I downloaded the appropriate patch file, ran it and Administrator ran. There was something in the install notes about reconfiguring the websites and removing the IIS6 Management feature but I'm not going to fool with anything because right now at least CF is running.
    Thanks.

  • I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.
