"Cannot Open iTunes" Dialog Box continuously opens in alternate profiles

I just installed iTunes 8.2 (64 Bit Version) on a new HP e9107c-b desktop with Windows Vista-64 (fully patched). I have multiple profiles setup on the computer and ONLY ONE profile ever uses iTunes. However, all other active profiles continously chime and display an error dialog box that says:
"You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open..."
Again, I am not trying to launch iTunes in any other profiles; but, this message continues to pop up until I close iTunes in the one profile it is running in.
This is extremely annoying and appears to affect my computer's performance. I've read all the articles I could find on the topic and they simply say you can only run one instance of iTunes when using profile-switching on a Windows machine - I'm only running one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks - kc

We just purchased two PC's with Windows Vista 64 bit - both are HP. We are getting the same error. My wife does not use iTunes, yet this error: "You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open..." keeps popping up every minute or so, and an alarm sounds. She is not trying to open iTunes and has never used it. My daughter uses iTunes on the same computer and if it is open when my wife logs in or switches to her user account, this annoying issue persists all day long. How do we get it to STOP?

I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. It says 'not enough storage' I click on settings and close, but still there. I need help. thx

I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. it says 'not enough storage'. I click on settings and close but still there. How can i remove this message? Thnx

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Cannot send message dialog box is too big to get to the bottom to close

I tried sending an email to my entire address book. I received the error message "cannot send message". That is not my issue, I can deal with it. What IS my issue is the dialog box contains all the addresses that I tried to send the email to and therefore the dialog box itself is really big. I cannot scroll to the bottom to click on the resend, or edit email choices. I cannot close this particular email. I forced quit email altogether, but when I re-opened the dialog and message came back up. I shut all the way down and it still came up. Does anyone know how to get rid of this unsent email?

I just went to the Genius Bar with this exact problem. To fix this do the following:
1. click on the error message (it will select it without showing anything)
2. press the return key (this should clear it from the screen and it will try to resend)
3a. turn off your internet connection (wither airport or ethernet)
3b. go to mail preferences and turn "disable" that particular mail account
(these 2 steps in #3 will stop mail from its automation and allow you to select the message itself)
4. Your "outbox should now be present, and you can go into it and select the message
5. now click on the message tab at the top of your screen and select "send to..." > select "drafts"
Now you should be able to edit this message or the recipients or just delete it all together and start over. I hope this helps some people out, it was a massive headache for me!

Automatically dismiss iTunes dialog boxes

Hello everybody,
In our household, we run a Mac mini that hosts our iTunes library to sync all of our iPhones, iPad, iPod touches etc. (all on iOS 5). It is hooked up to a TV to watch movies every so often, but in the end the TV is mostly switched off.
Now every so often iTunes produces some form of error message (like "could not mount disk", and alike). When this happens, this stops any further synching of devices until someone realizes the problem, switches on the TV, tries to find mouse and keyboard and dismisses the error which is no longer relevant.
It happend every month or so until the introduction of wireless synching, but now errors are way more frequent chiefly because devices sync more often (which is great of course). Is there some way of dismissing these errors automatically after some time, say 60 seconds or so?
Any idea would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Andreas

I came here to ask precisely the same thing. I'm surprised no one had answered.
Several years ago there used to be a system extension that could detect a dialog box and answer for you automatically. Nothing like this today?

ITunes cannot open existing alternate library.

I'm trying to add audiobooks to my wife's library, but after I hold down the option key and select "Choose Library...", the Finder window opens up briefly in cover flow view and immediately disappears. The same happens if I select "Create Library..." My iTunes library is functional. I have not accessed my wife's library since before 11.1.3 (Nov 5). Neither library has been moved. I suspect it's related to the cover flow view, but it still happens after setting the default view for the music folder and the root directory to list view. Any suggestions?

Fixed it! After several tries, I was able to get the selection window to open in list view.

Cannot open firefox or profile manager, checked firewalls and allowed firefox

I restored my system to 3 days before the issue and still won't work. When I run a compatibility check through windows 7 (64 bit) it tells me firefox is not compatible. Until 2 days ago I only used firefox now I have downloaded several times, uninstalled, changed firewall to allow firefox using windows or McAfee security, tried opening profile manager to create a new profile but my computer does nothing.
error message in C:\program files (x86)\Mozilla firefox\browser\chrome.manifest
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You many not have the appropriate permissions to access the item"

Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I cannot open my adminitrators profile. I have windows 7

My product: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC. I cannot logg in in my administrator´s profile. The password does´nt work. What to do? I have Windows 7 system. Hope you can help me as soon as possible. When I tried to write my password it shows: "Tjänsten user profile service misslyckades med inloggningen. Det går inte att läsa in användar profilen." Har det kommit in nåt virus? Är det återställning som gäller? Men hur kan jag spara först bilderna som är sparat på datorn i min profil? Snälla hjälp mig..... Njboman6285

Sometimes a reboot will correct the problem. If not try a System Restore and choose a date before the problem started. You need to boot into Safe Mode.

I can't open an .ai file in Illustrator without a dialog box appearing "Open PDF." I have no idea what I can't open it as an Illustrator file (and not a PDF)

Once I open a page as a PDF, all my layer info is lost. I've tried opening it on two machines and the dialog box continues to appear. Again, it's not a PDF extension.
Thanks for the help!

Since you're sure you saved it back to CS5, the issue might have been caused by saving directly to the server. Illustrator does not particularly like that.
90% of corrupt files are caused by saving directly to the server.
You might try and first copy the file to your harddisk and then open it from there. Opening files directly from the server is an issue as well.

Hidden dialog box locks up iTunes

In iTunes 7.5.x and 7.6.x, an Alert dialog box can be hidden resulting in a total loss of control of iTunes. To reproduce the problem:
- Open iTunes
- Under Preferences/Playback, select "Play Movies and TV shows in a separate window"
- Ensure that you have a video in a format that can be played by iTunes but not by iPhone (an audio file might work too)
- Connect an iphone (any other iPod might work too)
- Launch ANY video within iTunes and make the separate window large enough to cover most of the display.
- Move the video window just enough so that you can select the iPhone, open the Video tab and check the box to sync the "video in a format that can be played by iTunes but not by iPhone"
- Click on Apply then move the video window OVER the iTunes window.
- A dialog box will pop up stating that the video cannot be played by the iPhone. However, it will be BEHIND the Video window and cannot be seen nor dismissed. iTunes will then be locked up as you cannot dismiss the dialog box and you cannot do anything else either.

The Call Library Function is set to run in the UI Thread. Therefore, no front panel updates can be performed while the function is running (ie, the dialog box is showing).

I am unable to uninstall iTunes because of this error in dialog box

iTunes - Dialog Box
"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C;\Windows\Installer\iTunes64.msi"
And I have no idea what to do or how to fix this. Can anybody help please???

"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C;\Windows\Installer\iTunes64.msi"
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Dialog box that won't go away

Hi,
I received an email from VH1 today (I do receive periodic emails so they are legit) that keeps running a dialog box of "To view this page, you need to log in to area “” on www.vh1-d.mtvi.com:80." And it asks for a login & password. This dialog box will not go away (I've tried a Force Quit & Restart but as soon as I start Mail it starts all over). This appears to 'freeze up' mail because I can see new mail but I cannot access it as the dialog box continually runs in the preview window. I am running 10.5.6. I also have an older G4 PowerBook that received the same email but I did not have any issues with deleting it or any dialog boxes.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you!
Jon

I just had the same thing and with the help of my son and husband we were able to open a new mail window, slide the preview window down all the way and then delete the email from vh1. we then restarted the computer and it was gone. Hope this helps

Cannot create JVM message box in WLS 92 admin console

Hi,
I want to open a new windows process from weblogic admin console. I wanted to know if there is a way to launch a jvm from console.
If I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd), cmd is a javaw command, in my console extension, I get "cannot create JVM" dialog box.
Is this possible?
Pl. suggest

Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1

Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one).  Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date).  I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George

Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver  (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
exe
526 MB
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I find it quite disrespectful to NOT provide customers with EASY support, as well as avoiding to answer their requests for further help when some simplistic "assistance" that one can find almost anywhere on the web leads to no further solution. I shall not repeat the problems I have faced till now: vide supra. The problem, however, is NOT just with browsers.I simply cannot see any dialog box content and colour in MANY software programs, such as OPEN OFFICE; for instance: PRESENTATION colour dialog boxes show BLANK squares instead of squares filled with different colours. This has occured AVER SINCE DAY ONE! Finally, a new bug has appeared: Windows 8.1 keeps popping up some email program to which I am invited to register - I never created a Windows email account, and certainly don't intend to do so.NOR shall I accept some "Lenovo Service Bridge", however "discreet and inoffensive" it might be. I don't know if there are any legal grounds for customers to complain for all these problems. I DO know, however, that I shall NEVER buy a LENOVO device ever again. The pricing and processor might be competitive => yet, the support that ensues is, as far as I'm concerned, LAMENTABLE. To make a presentation, I have to switch to a Samsung R20 using XP..... What is the meaning of all this? George

R&R 4.10 no Password dialog box displayed when recovering a Backup

Hello all,
I am using a T61 8898-6dg with XP and r&r 4.10.314
After reinstalling the system from a XP CD I tried to reinstall an R&R backup from a network share.
R&r starts well showed me the backup files and all the files included in the backup. So I was able to select the files I want to recover and the recovery process starts.
Because the backup is secured by a password, a dialog box should appear and asking for the password. But now, r&r stops and nothing happens. I think it is waiting for the password. But I cannot see an dialog box for entering a password. Even pressing the Alt and Tab keys to bring the dialog box to the foreground don’t help.
In the rr.log file, I found the following entry:
Sat May 10 12:27:36 2008 RescueRecovery: Running: C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\mnd\mapdrv.exe *
Sat May 10 12:27:42 2008 RescueRecovery: No user found to display dialog '2', waiting...
The same problem I have with r&r 4.20
Any hint what I can do to be able to enter the password?
many thanks in advance
Juergen
Stuttgart/Germany

when the magic mouse is not connected it seems to work fine, I usually click the trackpad and the system prompts me for a password - I enter my password and go back to work.
However every time the problem has occurred I have left the computer with the magic mouse connected, when I return I move the magic mouse, the screensaver stops "moving" but I don't see the prompt for my password, it's almost as if the password dialog is behind the screen saver.
Hope this helps...
