Another "wont open" topic

I recently updated to I-Tunes 6 and it won't open. Unlike the other's I've read I don't get anything about a service agreement or error just nothing. Is there a way I could get back to the old one that worked or get 6 to open?

I just figured it out this morning and I'm now shouting my solution from the rooftops - or at least several threads! It seems there is a problem with Windowns XP, but here is what helped me work around it:
1) Remove Quicktime and iTunes from your computer.
2) Go to Start, Run, and then type msconfig and hit ok.
3) Under the general tab, click on "selective startup," uncheck "load system services."
4) Go to the services tab, check "hide all MS Services," uncheck all, thek click only "ipodservice."
5) Reboot your computer.
6) Download quicktime from www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone - Save this to your desktop for convenience.
7) Download iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes/download -Save this to your desktop for convenience
8) From your desktop, install Quicktime
9) From your desktop, install iTunes
10) Go to start, run, type in msconfig, hit ok
11) At the general tab, select "normal startup," click ok.
12) Enjoy iTunes once again!!!

FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

Itunes wont open need help backing up music on external hard drive

My itunes wont open after upgraded to 8 , ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime and still wont work. i found a topic to possibly help me but i dont know how to tranfer my music to an external disk drive without being able to open itunes. i am getting so frustrated. please help

A usb hard drive that Windows sees doesn't need software for a simple back up.
Format the hard drive Disk Management, if it doesn't come already formatted, and then drag and drop the iTunes folder and whatever other data you want to back up to it.
What you're describing doesn't sound like something iTunes did. If you're having general install troubles you have another problem with your system and it's time for a little troubleshooting to find out what's really going on.

Safari wont open after downloading 'genieo', its taken over homepage on internet and only opens for 1 second before closing rapidly. deleted it but still cant open internet. please HELP!

safari wont open since downloading 'genieo' stupidly, well by accident i just looked what it is up..... as needed to crop song quickly and must have been on that page/..., i moved it to trash and removed it everywhere i could see it but its still taken over safari and so web page closes after 1 second of opening so i cant use it. There are removal instructions etc online but i cant get online to do them! how can i sort this out if i cant use the internet and change my homepage etc? Will people at Apple store be able to do this for me?

There are some instructions that take time with some attention to detail to attempt and also remove all parts of the genieo and other adware malware bad content that come with visiting or downloading a variety of web sites which may spread their ilk to those who unknowingly or unwittingly get downloads or install content that has been doctored with some untoward idea in mind. Some of the posers do this to disrupt or sell more dysfunctional cures to their created mischief. The cure (incl their uninstaller) may be as bad as the problem.
•The Safe Mac - Tech Guides: Note 'adware removal & others' here
http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
Genieo is a specific issue and has a section in there.
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=genieo&submit=Search
For general adware, a script (beta, if you try luck)
is available but it may not touch genieo...
•Adware Removal Tool (applescript)
http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
The browser issue is covered under one of the topic areas, as that may also include a re-direct device where an extra button or home page to junk keeps loading. Incorrect removal of the badware may cause Safari to fail. However, you can get use a different browser to get information such as visit the above site, or here, etc.
I do not know if the techs or genius at Apple Store would be able to remove the problem. One way it to erase everything on the computer, and start all over, and lose all your stuff. You should have a backup of your created content on a drive external to your computer, in addition to TimeMachine backups, for restoration purposes; this done before an issue strikes. The methods of removal are covered in the linked pages above.
Another way, as suggested in detail by Linc Davis, can be followed and perhaps resolve the issue, too; at some point this topic thread will be seen by more than a few people. This is not a new topic here.
Good luck & happy computing!

E65...Settings page wont open, and reminders stuff...

hi, i just got my brand new e65 for christmas.
Problem #1:
about 3 days ago i went to open my settings and found out it would not open!!
what happens is i go into menu...all is normal,
i then go into tools...all is normal,
then, once i click on settings, the page opens with only the theme background...nothing else! it then stays like this for about 30 seconds and then goes back to the tools menu page!!
can someone PLEASE help with with this!! how do i fix it!? or do i have to take it back to the shop...or what...???
Problem #2:
2 nights ago i had a reminder (meeting) set into my phone. it was set to go off at 8am. at about 4:45am i got woken up my my phone buzzing. i looked at it and the reminder was on the screen. i looked at the time (on the phone) and it said it was 7:45am. it was pitch dark outside so i knew it wasnt that late! so i looked at my clock in my room and it said 4:45am!!!!
so i close the reminder, and went back to the main screen, i was just about to go into the time and date settings because i thought the auto update might have some how changed its own settings or something, so i did it, and sure enough soon remembered my settings wont open (it was 5am! give me a break! lol) so i got out of the menu and then the clock decided to read 11:55am!! **bleep**!!!
this morning, another reminder was suposed to go off. ahain at 8am. but this moring, i woke up a 11am, looked at my phone and "to my suprise" (not) there as no reminder to be displayed...at all! and ontop of that...the clock read 7:27am!! **bleep**! so i went into the calendar just to check if i set the reminder for the right day (i did) and when i got out of it..the **bleep** clock said it was 5:16am!!!! W H A T T H E ! ! !
so if ANYONE has ANY insight into what the hell is going on with this damn phone...PLEASE fill me in!!! haha
oh, p.s. sorry for the novel! had to give all the details!! haha

just as i was looking in the main Eseriers page i notice that first topic post from the administrator or whoever. and i was reading about the updates ect. as i was doing this i turned off the phone and turned it back on to get the clock right again. as it was turning on i decided to start downloading the software updater. as this was downloading the phone came back on with the same time (the wrong one 12:40pm) so i looked back up to okay the download...looked back down and the right time was on it!
**bleep**!
so i randomly decided to go and see if the settings page would open...and...OH! what do ya know!! it opened!! how convenient! just as i was downloading he update!!

Itunes wont open - compatibility error...

hi,
today I had a problem with moving songs from itunes to ipod. have had this issue in the past which was fixed by using ipod updater.
this didnt seem to work so for first time in ages ran the itunes updater. I can no longer open itunes and get the following error.
Quicktime unavailable
itunes requires Windows 2000 or later
Please make sure compatibility mode is disbaled in the compatibility tab of the properties of itunes.exe
well....I tried to do this (I am not massively IT literate!), have tried selecting or deselecting compatibility on this tab....and still wont open....any ideas?
im on windows XP professional.
cheers in advance
mike

hiya!
if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:
Resetting iPod warnings
do you get an error message show up after resetting warnings?

hp Windows XP

yes, I tried that document first but it did not work. I couldn't even open itunes in safe mode at all. I have reistalled safari and repaired quicktime, I've deleted all itunes software and reinstalled, I've googled fixes and tried them all. Nothing works. I tried creating another user account, didn't work. I can now open itunes, but I have to double click the icon and walk away from the computer. It take 10 or 15 minutes to open, will sync my ipod once, then locks up and I have to reboot. Any other suggestions?

ITunes wont open,as WebKit.dll was not found?

iTunes wont open as, error message says "The application has failed to start because WebKit.dll was not found". Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried to remove iTunes but come up with another error "can't find iTunes.msi"

It looks like you might have two different problems going on at once. Trying the following one first:
"The application has failed to start because WebKit.dll was not found".
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?

Itunes wont open. itunes has stopped working message Please help!!

I had itune 10.1 working just normal, and suddenly it wont open.
even before that, 1st problem i had was with Quick time, i couldnt uninstall it, kept saying newer version of Quick time installed..or something like that. and i figured out to install itunes without unstalling quick time. (thanks to Google) and was working fine for a month, and suddenly, now iTune wont open. I tried unstalling it, and reinstalled... that's pretty much i can do now!! still no hope!!

ITunes wont open from my external hard drive onto my new laptop

i have an external hard drive connected to my desktop with all my itunes music on there. but when i connect the external to my new laptop, itunes wont open. it says i dont have itunes support or something like that. and the reason i have my music on the external is so i CAN open itunes from another computer. but this isnt happening right now. someone please help.

yea it is an error 2
Many thanks.
We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.)

TS1277 my itunes wont open beacause of a Data Execution Prevention harming my pc

My itunes wont open because of a Data Execution Prevention harming my PC. What can i do?

I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes. I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all). On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes. So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now).

After Effects wont open error message

Hello.
My After effects wont open. I've read many forums and info that others have written about it not opening. Stuff about erasing fonts, deactivating fonts, then also, finding folders /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS4/MediaCore---> which was empty and had nothing to erase or do anything with http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/973961 ...Still nothing.
this is the error.
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
My computer is a brand new mac book pro. Tip Top of the line. Not sure what other details i should give.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
UGH boooo
thanks
L

I saw that there were a series of questions i need to answer in order to get the right answers.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number.
12.2 - after effects CC - CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
yes. i even uninstalled and reinstalled the newest...again.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mac OSX 10.9.1
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
2.3 GHZ Intel Core i716GB 1600 MHZ DDR3Macintosh HDprocessor #: 1Zero external drives connected.I use my local connection with my desktop to share files. Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 16 GB
What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MBInstalled CUDA
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
NO
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty.Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes. although there is another window that says A LOT MORE!!
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
trying to open it.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
It has worked for about 4 or 5 days. It was even working when i was doing the same action prior to the last time it stopped working. I was uploading a file from my other computers file. Which i had done many times throughout the day. As i work on one computer and when i have to leave and bring my laptop with me i do so. Because i work on my computer all day long. Desktop or laptop.
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
10.3
What other software are you running?
iWork - Numbers
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Yes. I've since deleted them but i'm not sure where else to find the files if they're still around. ?
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Not sure i know what that is?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
its just not opening
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
if that is the Double line play button then yes.
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
Not sure what that is.
If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Thanks for any help you can give me:)
