Can't reboot PC after itunes install

Please Help!
I just installed the latest itunes 6 (inc QT) download on my main Windows 2000 work PC and now i can't even boot it, just sticks about 2/3 through the progress bar, looks like a QT/Matrox graphics driver clash or something, but i've tried with a different solo Nvidia gfx card, still same story, and safe mode won't even come up. looks like i'm stuffed, and losing hair more rapidly than usual.
This looks like a big mistake, any help appreciated, self-employed and desperate..., can't believe we're still in the installation stone age, this is going to trash my week.

I have had exactly the same problem and it is the iTunes or Quick time software causing the problem. I am running Windows 2000 service pack 4. Both iTunes and Quick time seemed to install OK. I could open the applications after installation, etc. I could even update the iTunes software. Upon trying to restart, the computer hung on the Windows installation splash screen, 2/3rds of the way on the progress bar, when the machine is loading driver files. I too was unable to boot in safe mode. Fortunately, I had Roxio Go Back installed and could revert the hard drive and "undo" the installation. After that the computer was fine, so it is not your hard drive. It is the buggy Apple software.

  • I can't find iSync after lion install

    I can't find iSync after lion install. I try too sync with my N8 Nokia. The program iSync dont appear in program mapp.

    It's Apple's software not yours and as shown by it's exclusion on the OS X Lion pages is not part of the new OS. Upgrading to Lion is optional.
    It's a trivial matter to copy it back from your Snow Leopard backup, but using it under Lion is not supported at all and WILL stop working sooner or later.
    Why would it be sensible for Apple to include software in their new OS that they know will stop working?

  • PC won't boot with CDRom Drives hooked up after iTunes install

    Hello All,
    After installing iTunes (initial, first time install on this machine) the computer would not fully boot. It would get to the Windows starting screen and the indicator bar would reach about 2/3 of the way complete and sit there. I tried rebooting in safe mode and it would still get stuck at seemingly the same point. After attempting several things to try and correct the issue, I finally stumbled upon that if I disconnect the CD drives the computer boots fine with iTunes installed. I've searched through the past records and saw some similar issues, but nothing quite the same and a lot of the fixes involved running diagnostics on the CD drives, but I can't do that currently as I have to have them disconnected to use the computer. Ideas? Help!
    Thanks,

  • Can't Download the Newest iTunes--Install Doesn't Complete

    If I use the download from the Apple webpage, the Windows Installer hardly ever loads the program. Very rarely it will, and I will get to the page where the program will be installed (the page that says "All Your Music. All in One Place."), the green status bar will be almost full, and then it will stop. If I use the Apple Software Update for iTunes+Quicktime, the green bar will get to about 55% full, above it it will say "Installing..." and then it will stop. I've tried both install methods several times and I have left them for about two hours with no progress. I use a Vista Basic but I have never had this problem before. How can I get it to actually install?

    I can't download iTunes either. I have Windows XP and when trying to download just iTunes 9.0.3 it will start to download and then get to 15.60 KB and stop. I tried downloading it thru iTunes using the Update iTunes option, tried downloading from I.E. 8 and Firefox/Mozillaa and no luck. I even found the option to download 8.0.2 and 8.1.7 off Apple's website and neither one of those will download, they all just stall after awhile. I have cleared my web cache for both IE and Firefox, removed the previous version of iTunes and all the apps associated with it. I had a saved copy of iTunes 8.0.2 and reinstalled it, but again with the older app, I still can't download the newest version of iTunes. This time it gives the option to install Bonjour, Safari and iTunes, it got thru Bonjour but froze on Safari and didn't get to iTunes. I have been fighting this since the day the newest iTunes came out.

  • Safari application-disappeared. & can't be found after download/install ...

    This morning, Safari application was no longer in the Applications Folder on my iMac. (Nor was FireFox!) Can't find it anywhere, even using 'Search'.
    So, I installed Safari from a previously downloaded .dmg/.pkg. Went through all the steps, and greeted with "Installation was successful!!!"
    However, the [supposedly] newly installed Safari application is nowhere to be found.
    I have been through various cycles of this, even downloading anew on MacBook and then dragging from MacBook to iMac. I have been careful to use the correct versions to match the Mac OS 10.6.2 that's on the iMac.
    I'm befuddled. Can't find a similar problem on the forum ...

    HI,
    *I have been careful to use the correct versions to match the Mac OS 10.6.2 that's on the iMac.*
    Absolutely.
    First, instead of using a .dmg Safari from a previously downloaded .dmg/.pkg... that might be a previous version of Safari, Go here and try downloading the newest version of Safari.
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Make sure and select Snow Leopard on the left. If after the installation, you still can't use Safari
    after you download and install Safari....
    When you have probems with applications disappearing, it's probably a good time to check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If the startup disk appears to be ok and there sufficient disk space, try booting in Safe Mode

  • Can't watch video after just installed Adobe Flash Player

    Hi everybody, I recently have a problem with Flash Player. I can't watch videos on Facebook. It keeps telling me to install flash player. But I had Adobe Flash Player in the passed and I used to be able to watch videos. Anyway, I tried to uninstall it and download & install it again, I still can't watch it right after I installed it. I have tried multiple times too. I just can't figure out what the problem is. There is only one thing that I can think of is it might happened after I updated to Yosemite. Could someone help me, PLEASE? Thanks in advance!

    Alright, I solved the problem. Must have been I turned off the Internet Plug-ins one day without realizing it, and I am not good at computer at all, so never thought of that possibility. LOL !

  • Windows 8 Audio has locked up after itunes install?!

    Anyone got a clue how to restore sound operations on a windows 8 system after an itunes install.
    I uninstalled all apple products, but the audio is still broken. Automated problem resolution didn't work.
    My last option is to do a restore, but that's kind of ugly. Any other suggestions?
    Anybody reported iTunes 11 to DHS as a virus yet?
    Thanks
    m

    To whom it may concern:
    Be forewarned ... Execute a system checkpoint for restore prior to executing iTunes 11(64) installation on Windows 8 platforms. Be prepared to execute a restore after installation given it appears that iTunes 11 will change basic settings on systems with multiple advamced audio systems (hdmi + analog) resulting in configurations that point parts of the audio stream at disconnected hardware/software streams.
    These errors will result in all audio playback system "freezing", or failing to load and sequence audio files properly. Quick resolution is to restore the system from checkpoint and removing all traces of the iTunes package.
    Man i really miss Steve!
    Love my iPad, love my iPod, hate iTunes with a passion!

  • System reboots continually after CS5 install

    I have a CS5 workstation here that I took out of service a few months ago because it showed signs of OS corruption and possibly a virus. After messing with it for a while I did a bare-metal rebuild, beginning formatting both drives and resetting BIOS to system defaults. The system worked fine for 6-7 hours during Windows installation and configuration, driver DL and update, etc. After I installed CS5 Master Collection, it returned to its prior behavior.
    ASUS M4A88T-M mobo, Athlon II CPU, 8GB RAM, 250GB boot drive, 1TB data drive, crappy ATi mobo graphics with NVidia GTX260 primary, Win7 Home Premium.
    The system boots and gives a login screen, If I do nothing, about 2 minutes later it does a graceful shutdown and restarts. If I log into one of the two user accounts, it finishes loading the desktop before saying "Logging off" and then shutting down and restarting. This was the behavior that caused me to take it out of service (and resisted all attempts at fixing - I couldn't even deactivate CS5 before it would roll over). It will run in safe mode for a little longer (actually, it WOULD before - have not tried it since the rebuild) but selecting "do not restart automatically" at boot time has no effect.
    It's possible that it's a hardware or firmware fault, but the oddity of the system running fine until CS5 was installed points to something changed at a boot/startup/initial configuration level, long before any CS5 app is started.
    I have long since moved on to CS5.5 and CC, but I maintain this system for working on a few shared client projects; I kind of need it back up soon. If no one has any better thoughts I will try a new motherboard and (if needed) another rebuild. Very frustrating...
    ANY ideas on what aspect of CS5 might be causing this, and how to get in and fix it without doing yet another rebuild and another license hit that will likely need a call to Adobe to fix? I think it must be some leftover fragment of Windows installer instructions, trying to finish an installation step and failing out. Or...?

    Found it. It was an unbelievably evasive TDSS bootkit virus that survived a bare-metal format and OS install and showed itself only by chance. Windows Malware Tool beheaded it and TDSSkiller stomped it out. All updates installed, no further problem. The issue, besides what the virus was actively doing, was that it prevented a critical security update from being installed, which created a whole list of other update-related problems.
    By far the nastiest malware I've ever had to deal with. But fixed.
    Kudos to Kaspersky for making the TDDS remover available for free.

  • Quicktime doesn't work after Itunes install

    After installing Itunes 7.0.2, I suddenly can't view Quicktime files. I had Quicktime installed before, but obviously it was overwritten when I installed Itunes. Now, when I attempt to view any .mov files, the audio is played, but the video is a scrambled picture of garbage.
    Any thoughts?

    Down load and install quicktime by itself. That should correct the issue.

  • Ipod can not sync photos after iTunes upgrade

    I upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1.22 a few days ago. I plugged in my ipod and get the message, "ipod can not be synced. required folder can not be found" and after this message another, "...device cannot be found" I have not deleted or moved any folders.
    I have never had trouble with syncing my ipod before. What's different? any suggestions?

    if you guys own Aperture, a new update just fixed my issues.
    I didn't even think Aperture was an issue since I never selected to sync using aperture. But now my iPhoto options are not grayed out to select partial library options, and the full library sync finally shows my accurate 12.8 gigs of space in the colored device fill bar at the bottom of iTunes sync.
    Issue RESOLVED.

  • Can't open files after clean install

    Hi, I just had to wipe my drive clean and do a full fresh install of OSX 10.2.8...
    ... and now many of my Appleworks files aren't opening up. When I click on them I get a "No Bluetooth Hardware Found" error message, and bluetooth opens up on my dock.
    I'm using Appleworks 6.2.9 for OSX, and then went back and installed a Classic Appleworks 6.0.4.
    The problem is mostly on older documents created prior to v.6, but it also seems to be happening with newer documents created using v. 6 in OSX too.
    Using the file -> open --> and selecting the document doesn't always solver the problem , and having to go into the application to open the files is far from convenient anyway.
    If anyone can be of help it would be greatly appreciated!

    In addition to deleting the AppleWorks preferences, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update/upgrade/reinstall.
    A couple of other things to try after that if it still doesn't work as it should.
    See my user tip, AppleWorks 6 won't open my AW 5 files, to "tell" AppleWorks these files are AW files.
    Highlight a known AppleWorks document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks. If AppleWorks is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks.

  • Can I deactivate cs4 after I installed cs5?

    I installed and activated cs5 and already had cs4 running on pc.  I want to transfer cs4 to colleague so I need to deactivate cs4 and uninstall.  Can I do deactivate and uninstall cs4 safely after I have installed and used cs5?  Thanks for any advice
    >>> Actually, I just read on another discussion re cs3 and cs5 - it is recommended that you deactivate and uninstall the earlier version before installing the newer version and to just use the old serial number when prompted by the new cs5 install. So i think the best solution is to un-install cs5, then deactivate and un-install cs4 and then re-install cs5.

    If you don't want to keep the older version:
    uninstall the older version first, BEFORE installing the new version.
    The Adobe Uninstallers have a nasty habit of messing with essential support files of the new version because they mistake them for the older versions.  When that happens, you have to jump through hoops just to uninstall the damaged version, as not even the Uninstaller will work on it. (You would need something called the CS3Clean Script, CS4Clean Script aor CS5Clean.  Avoid having to go there.  Honest.)
    All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  The Upgrade installer will simply ask you for the old serial numbers when it doesn't find an older qualifying version installed.
    Once more:
    Do NOT uninstall an older version after upgrading to a new one; do it BEFORE.
    Foretold is forewarned.

  • How do I get IE7 after iTunes install banished it?

    I installed iTunes and Quicktime on my Windows XP, IE7 PC. I subscribed to get an automatic download of a radio broadcast. Now, whenever I click on icon for IE7, I get iTunes and I can't get IE7.

    In addition, even if your Intel Mac could run OS 9 in classic mode, you can't use the install system discs from one model Mac on another model Mac.
