Anybody have issues with the iTunes 7.1 update and Logic?

Scenerio:
Working happily in Logic Pro. Software Update appears with available updates to iTunes and Quicktime. I needed a break from editing, so I accpeted the update.
Immediately relaunched Logic Pro and at the Updating the Tree stage my machine freezes, with the following message appearing in four languages:
"You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button."
Chances are overwhelming that this is directly related to the 2 updates, with the iTunes update being the likely culprit, in my opinion
I repaired permissions which had no effect.
What should I try next?

  • Does anybody have issues with the weather?

    My phones weather app says the sun rises at 1am and sets around noon when clearly it's still night time at 1am and the sun is out at noon...***??!?!

    Hei thanks about the messages. I didn't know about dellfand. I would try if only the system would still be broken.
    somehow it has happened again the same thing that happened the last time (I hope - give me a couple of days to verify the system is stably ok)
    I installed i8kutils and i8kmon, played a bit with the i8kmon.conf settings and then out of desperation removed i8kmon, removed i8kmon from the daemons in rc.conf but left i8k in the modules in rc.conf. Somehow now the fans do not behave like before... they still fan very conservatively (almost at full speed with temperatures of 50 degrees) but it is immeasurably better than the alternating madness I had before.
    I'll keep you updated
    P.S. regarding the bios it might be because I have refreshed the bios with the latest version just after I bought it. Looking at the version number it was quite an update...

  • Issue with the iTunes 10.6 update

    I updated my iTunes to version 10.6.  I am running on Windows 7 Pro, SP1.  After installing the new version, I was no longer able to access the iTunes Store nor play any "radio" web sites.
    In an attempt to remedy this issue, I uninstalled the 10.6 version and reinstalled it's 10.5 predecessor.  However, upon executing version 10.5, I was presented with an error message stating the iTunes library was reformatted by a newer version (10.6, I presume) and it failed to work and closed.   
    Has anyone experienced this?  Is or has there been  a service interruption with Apple's web services?  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the heads up on the Autorun software.  It appears the remnants of an old version of Computer Associates anti-virus software still lingers within my system.  I had removed it (or so I thought) 2 years ago from my system for a different AV software. Employing Microsoft's Autoruns, I spoted entries in Winsock providers category that showed CA entries.  A simple deletion of these services proved to be the wrong course.  Upon removing them, Windows "hung" at boot time and I had to resort to a Safe Mode boot and invoke a previous restore point.  Upon closer review of the other registry entries, I spotted many more CA modules.  I shall need to surgeons' knife and steady hand to remove the remaining remnants of this old software--something I shall set aside for the time being so I can properly prepare for that "surgery".
    Thanks for all the suggestions; it is most appreciated

  • Having an issue with the latest Indesign CC update and Easy Catalog plugin.

    After the latest CC update I had this strange behavior start occuring. I have multiple pages that load in data and images via Easy Catalog, I've been using the same pages for years without any issues, within the past couple days I've noticed that now, when I run "Update Easy Catalog Fields" on a book all of the images get loaded in at about 25% of their size. If I instead run "Update Document" on a single file it loads in correctly. Any one else having similar issues?

  • HT4623 My phone is stuck with the iTunes display, an arrow and power cord on the display???

    My iphone is stuck with the iTunes logo, an arrow and powercord on the display.  It will not power down or allow me to do anything.  I updated to the most recent OS version this morning after my battery drained overnight (it was fully charged yesterday afternoon) and this was the result.  I also have downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my laptop ...

    My 2-year old iPhone 4s running iOS7 suddenly started doing the same thing (randomly going into Recovery Mode) almost every morning for the last week or so.  It recovers OK (albeit back to factory presets), but I'd sure like to know what's going on.  Any info?

    i have problem with the firmeware file...and I do not know what is that

    Make sure you are updating your phone the correct way, by connecting to iTunes and clicking Check for Updates on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Do not try to download the firmware file from the internet first.  Also be sure iTunes is up to date before updating.
    Delete the existing firmware (.ipsw) file and try again.  You will find it at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Is iTunes now compatible with Windows 8 with the iTunes 11.0 update?

    Is iTunes now compatible with Windows 8 with the iTunes 11.0 update?

    Problem solved. The music was from Amazon MP3 store and I had to re-download it from the Amazon Cloud Player to my hard drive. It was there, but not even the Amazon Cloud Player software would play it from my PC, though it would from the Cloud. So after the re-download, I was able to add it to my iTunes Library.

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

  • Does anyone have issues with the instrument library?

    I've installed iLife 08 and then added all the jam packs. Now when I open GB the default track is an accordion (not a piano) and when adding loops to the timeline they take on a different instrument sound (e.g. drum loop sounds like raindrops, etc.)
    I've searched high and low for similar problems and have found nothing that resembles this, I've cleared my preferences and repaired permissions and still nothing helps, I've contemplated reinstalling but I have no guarentee that that will help and I'm reluctant to invent the 3 hours it will take to do all that if it is all for nothing...
    Bottom line is...is this really an issue with the instrument library and is there any way for me to fix this without reinstalling?

    Just loaded the 6.0.2 update a few days ago.  I was hoping it would fix the dropping of wifi where the 4g and 3g always kept.  I have restored the router and I have even switched towers through AT&T's help, but to no avail.  I still am dropped and sometimes it spins and spins looking to connect and then says, Cannot connect at this time. Sometimes it connects, and when the phone goes to sleep, it disconnects and then it is heck connecting again.   I am very upset for I do not have unlimited data and my data has soared over 270 mg which I usually always kept way below 200 as  being in my home most of the time.  I am planning to take into AT& T store for a new one, just not happy with the wifi situation.  It is sad that this cannot be fixed with an update.  I saw earlier that some Iphone 5 made in China were the cuprits, and maybe I got one of those.  I hope At&T and Apple are reading these dialogs.  Please let me know if fixes are on the way!

  • Has anyone had issues with the latest i-tunes update 11.1.4 on Windows Vista

    I downloaded the update on 24th Jan, and when I tried to open i-tunes after that it failed to start and the message was MSVCR80.dll and the window suggested that I remove and re-install i-tunes.
    I did this and then my CD/DVD drive was not recognised. I then decided to go for a system restore prior to the update. When I did this i-tunes worked again but a window opens every 30seconds saying 'Mobile device helper is not working'  At one point I had 116 windows open. Has anyone else had this problem or can offer any advice please? I have an i-pod classic and my system is windows vista which is approx 8yrs old. I have never had any problem with i-tunes updates before.

    Try using these directions on this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    This resolved my issue with the new update on Vista.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes

  • Anybody have issues with custom radio stations in iTunes Radio being "unavailable"?

    I created one yesterday in iTunes and today I added a bunch more artists to it.  All the sudden it wouldn't play.  I deleted it, and started it from scratch again with about 20 artists.  Still wouldn't play.
    Then within Apple TV 6.0, I removed a few artists and got it to start playing.
    Wonder if there is a limit to number of artists you can add?

  • ITunes 10.5: Permission issue with the iTunes Library file...

    Ok all, I have a strange and potentially problematic issue. 
    Background: Recently upgraded to thee latest 10.5 iTunes along with OSX 10.7.2 and iOS 5 on my iPhone.  My iTunes library is large - almost 300,000 songs, but have not had any issues until after the upgrade - except for the sluggishness of the progam (which apprears to be normal once you reach a certain point) as well as limitations with Genuis which I've not been able to resolve in any version.  I also have a fairly elaborate Playlist setup which I've refined over the past couple of years.  My iTunes library resides lookly in the default location under Music and the Media Folder sits on 3TB external.  Note that everything has worked fine up until now...
    Anyway, this is just a quick background - and also to set the stage for any suggestions that might involve a 'random' rebuild of the iTunes library as it would involve a massive effort.
    Problem:  Very intermittantly while playing music I will get an error pop up "Itunes library cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file".  Otherwise everything appears working - playcounts are updated and reflected in my SmartPlaylist while I pay, lyrics seem to be added as I play (via TuneText), etc - and all syncs fine with the iPhone. 
    Now if I shut down iTunes when this happens and try and reopen, I will get the error "The iTunes Application cannot be opened, an unknown error occured (13014)."  Now if I look at the permissions of the iTunes Library database it shows "You have unknown access".   Note the permissions of all other files are ok.
    In the past to correct this I've pulled back an earlier version of the Library from my Time Machine which of course is not ideal. I've also set up a parallel library about a year ago which can open fine (I use this other one to stage the music before importing into my main one in that the main is too slow to edit anything major). 
    So far I've tried Repairing Permissions and reinstalling the iTunes.app but the intermittant problem is not resolved.

    ****...After days of new issues, the problem returned again this morning!! Both the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.itl showing with unknown permissions.
    To answer your question whop, yes when I rebuilt my entire library, I started afresh and rebuilt my .itl file with all the playlists, etc.
    What is interesting with the problem I just noted now while writing this entry here, repaired permissions with Disk Utility and it corrected the unknown permission error.  I cannot see anything in the report though (below) that ties to these specifically being repaired.
    Not sure where to go with this....

  • Does any one else have issues with the lack of properly trained reps ?

    I've been a subscriber to verizon services for just under a year now and have been repeatedly disappointed by the " tech support" and " customer service " departments .   I purchased a new droid xt912 (razr) and it worked great for a month or two then started having issues  with random shutdowns and screen possessions icons randomly appearing and disappearing  ringers changing on their own silent mode turning on and off by itself etc..  my inital thought was that it was a dl'd app that was causing the problems so i reset the phone to out of the box status and went for a week with no downloads or apps beyond the pre installed bloatware and started experiencing the same issues . I contacted cust service who then referred me to  the laughable excuse for tech support  who's only advice was reset it when i advised them I'd already done the reset they seem stunned that I being a lowly customer would know how to do that and advised me that there wasn't much else they could do but file and insurance claim  and send me out a refurbished phone of the exact make and model.  I declined after reading multiple reviews about this phone and the multitude of issues it possess  and inquired about the possibility of allowing me to upgrade early and was told no under no circumstances would i be allowed to upgrade to a different phone.   fast forward a couple of months I find out about the activation of the " edge " program and inquired with my local sales rep about the possibility of ditching this ****** razr for a different device and the ill trained and very ill informed rep told me that i qualified for the program no problem and  I started the process  and after almost an hour of my day later was told that no i couldn't use the program  because i was already an active customer and wouldn't be eligible to even apply for it  until my existing contract was expired  at which point it would be really stupid on my part to renew into what is  basically a lease program when i would be due to  upgrade normally anyhow .  I'm happy with the actual service ( when my device works properly ) but am seriously considering changing to a slower network once my contract is done just because of the inferior  service .  I know it seems like i may be whining just a bit but after several months of incompetent help bad answers and outright lies I'm at a loss as to if i may be the only one that has these issues .  So if any one has had similar issues and has had them resolved i would so like to know

    I have accepted that I am stuck with this device as i do not want a direct product replacement I've been to  many of the global community forums and read about the product wide disaster this phone has been.   My issue is more with the seeming disregard for customer loyalty and respect for the consumer  who for lack of a better way of putting it pays the companies bills and employees salaries .  Denying existing customers access to programs such as the " edge" program and the lack of intelligent answers to simple questions is a gigantic slap in the face to the consumer who despite other options has chosen to lock in with verizon. I guess more to the point it seems the company is more interested in obtaining newer customers then maintaining long term repeat customers . maybe i'm a bit archaic in my line of thought but better the reliable source of income then the gamble and it seems Verizon doesn't share that thought
