Recently purchased a new ipod nano, but after installing itunes and Quicktime as directed itunes will not open the egg times appears but then nothing, this is the latest version of itunes (3rd August 2008) i have uninstalled and re-installed but still no joy have removed quicktime and installed it on its own, disabled anti virus etc but still no joy does anyone have any further suggestions?
Itunes version 6 installed and opened perfectly but new ipod is not compatible and requests the latest version...please help
thanks in advance

Just for the record: Get rid of swap file as much as you can. I had been building video editing PCs before I switched to Apple computers (long time ago when most did not belive that advanced video editing was possible on home PC). Well, a few of us had discussed some performance improvement methods (regardless what Microsoft professionals said) and we concluded that for number of reasons you may want to disable swap file (or minimize it to minimum of particular Windows version) as well as keep apps withinin RAM boundaries (proper size of RAM installed) to have proper level of performance. That is nothing super innovative... just common sense and experimentations. many of those things were not excercised by PC vendors as they need to have as simple installations as possible due to speed of manufacturing... so you may have to hear a lot of BS from so called experts in stores, but once you got to right builders on Internet you knew how to improve the system performance (there are much more tricks than this one and "they are dangerous"... if you do not know what it takes
And yes it should also work with swap on another disk especially different than system. For those new SSD based computers I would do some research where the swap should be. Also some SSD memory may have limit to number of rewrites so swap on those is not the best idea as there is a LOT of rewrite cycles. So I would get rid of swap anyway and perhaps get as much RAM as they offer.

  • Since updating my computer i cannot install or open itunes, help!!!

    Since updating important installations on my computer i cannot open itunes. I unistalled it after hours of trying and now i can even install the software. very frustrated and confused can anyone help??

    Hi adora,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    .exe are Windows programs. You need programs written for OS X. Most will be .dmg files (disk image) and will mount on the desktop just like a hard drive. With most you just drag the applications icon to your applications folder. Others need Stuffit Expander to decompress the file before installation.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    Just downloaded Itunes 10.6 on windows7 64bit and now cannot open Itunes get error msg:ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.Tried uninstall and reinstall any help ? Thanks

    Even I am facing a similar problem. Initially the iTunes worked on my windows 64bit edition. Ever since I downloaded the latest version it has stopped identifying my 4S with an error msg that asks me to download the 64bit edition. I have tried it again and again but it did not help. After unistalling and downloading again the new error msg says " the file- iTuneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Please help!!!!!!!

  • When itunes updated it self I got error message saying  Error 7 Windows error 126. I cannot open itunes. Any ideas?

    I got this When I last updated itunes. Can some please help? I cannot open itunes and it is anoying!!!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
