Can't access itunes, and won't let me install or uninstall

When i click on itunes it says files are not supported, and that i need to uninstall and reinstall. I then try to do so and it says files are unable to be found. and when i just download itunes without uninstalling it says other files must be uninstalled first. i dont want to lose access to my music. what can i do?

i would look for Iphoto in your applications folder and put it in the trash, (be sure not to through away your Iphoto libary in your pictures folder)
restart your computer
and attempt to redownload it from the app store.

I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for intallation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it.

I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for installation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it. I doubled check everything on my computer and it is not installed. Even more, all my PDF files now show an HTML extension rather that PDF and only opens in my browser, which means the program is not here.
How to re-install it, please, when the CC panel installer won't let me do it? Thanks!

Try "Pacifist"!
Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

Help....can't access iTunes and iPod doesn't work when connected

Ant ideas? I get an error message when I try to open iTunes,,,,iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close....I have reinstalledseveral times...and when I try to sync my iPod using other programs( rhapsody(, it makes a wierd whirring sound and locks up the program.....

Well no, sending an error report to Microsoft about an Apple program won't get you anywhere.
Why not tell us the error message?
edit - Was that it, just that dumb generic message? How about if you try a shift-start of itunes? Press _and hold_ the shift key while starting itunes, and choose to create a new itunes library - does that get you any further?

Can't access iTunes and Screen Sharing sharing services on my mac Mini

Since several weeks now I face a networking issue of the stranger kind.
Currently I've got my Mac mini acting as the central server for music, photos and files in my home. Central Network Mgmt device is a Wireless Lan router.
In the past I was accessing the Mac Mini from my MacBook via Screen Sharing this doesn't work anymore. When requesting the service the connection effort just runs idle. In iTunes on my MacBook I can see the Libary of my Mac Mini iTunes but clicking on it brings the rotateing ball and after a certain while the message that the iTunes Libary is not responding and that I should check my Firewall settings. Which I did on both computers and they are wide open. 'Ipfw show' in Terminal brings back the message 'Open for any to any communication' also on both computers.
Makeing use of the File sharing service from the MacBook to the MacMini works but it takes a extreme long while until the shared folder appears on the MacBook.
Trying to access from the Mac Mini my MacBook for all these services is no problem.
One more thing is that my Mac Mini cannot access the Wireless Lan router anymore thru the Web Browser or thru a Ping. Here I get the message 'Ping Send to: permission denied'. I changed the Router still the same message. Internet traffic is only possible after I manually applied a DNS Server with its IP number.
Anyone out there who could help? I'm close to completely reinstall my Mac Mini but would naturally love to avoid this.

wireduck,
Highlight the music folder and on the keyboard type (Command) + i: on the window that opens scroll down if need and click on the lock on the bottom right. Type in an Admin User name and password. Then under the (Sharing & Permissions:) make sure the users you want to open the folder are listed and that there (Privilege) is set to @ least Read. If not hit the ( + ) sign and add them. After you have that all set up click on the little gear next to the ( - )s sign and (Apply to a enclosed items). that way each user can read the files. After that the little ( - ) sign should be gone on the folders.
Hope that helps.

IPod isn't recognized by iTunes and won't let Windows format it

I have an iPod classic that won't do much of anything. It won't turn on and rarely gets past the apple logo. It it does get past the apple logo though it asks as if you just bought it and asks your language and has nothing on it. If you go into settings though it says that all of the memory it used up. It also has the games on it but if you try to play them the iPod crashes. If I plug it into the computer iTunes won't recognize and and Windows will not format it.
I do not care about getting any of the previous data on the iPod back I just wish to use it again.

Hi Pigwarts5ever,
If you are having issues with your iPod Classic not being recognized by iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article helpful:
Apple Support: iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
If you are able to get it recognized, your best next step would be to restore it to factor settings:

I recently uninstalled firefox.Then I tried installing it.It keeps telling me because of a recent uninstall I must restart my computer.This keeps happening and no matter how many times I reboot I get the same message and won't let me install firefox.

running xp on a dell inspiron 4600.Never had this trouble before.Trying to upgrade from 3.5.1 to 3.6.10

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Bought an app, and it is sitting inthe "uninstalled" box, and won't let me install!

Just bought "Settlers of Catan". Tried to play it, and went to App World, and it is uninstalled. So I go to the options, and the "install" option isn't there!
Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
1. Open App World
2. Go to My World
3. Follow one (and only one!) of these steps:
3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
3b. For Touch Screen Only BBs -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
3c. For newer (e,g., OS6 and 7) BB's, see this KB:
KB24714 How to clear the BlackBerry App World cache
4. AppWorld should close.
5. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
6. Return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it may be sluggish while it re-synchronizes).
If step (4) does not happen as listed, then the clear cache did not work.
Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

If you have an iPod with iOS 3.1.3 then it is due to an Apple problem.

HT201272 I have deleted a song from my library and want to re-download it. When I access my purchased items in the iTunes store, the song has the 'purchased' button next to it and won't let me re-download. Any suggestions for things to try?

While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.
