    Hi Dance4Life85!
    I have a couple of troubleshooting suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes, according to the instructions in this article:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11201
    To reinstall iTunes, download it from the Apple Downloads website.
    Apple Downloads website
    Note that all you will need to do is download iTunes and install it again, it will install over the version that is on your computer right now without issue. If your issue persists, you may want to see this article about troubleshooting third-party plugins for iTunes:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    Lastly, if neither of these resolve the issue, then you may need to recreate your iTunes library. More information on this can be found here:

  • Why were the colour icons taken away from the finder and itunes sidebars and and replaced with grey monochrome shade icons. It doesn't make any sense.

    Why were the colour icons taken away from the finder and itunes sidebars and and replaced with grey monochrome shade icons.
    Have apple rectified this yet ?
    It doesn't make sense to me why they changed this. Can anyone tell me the reason for the lack of colour ?
    On another note, can the the sidebar be changed back to the right hand side in preview (when opening PDF's). It has always been on the right in snow leopard and tiger.
    It seems to me that their has been too many unnecessary changes in the Lion operating system.
    Thanks.

    You'd have to ask Apple, no one here would know - we are just users like you and aren't allowed to speculate on these forums. You have quite a bit of company though - many people preferred the color.
    And, I've not found a way to put the sidebar back on the right side in Preview, but maybe someone else can chime in with that.
    I much prefer the sidebar a la sinistra

  • Error updating podcasts and itunes store

    I upgraded to iTunes 8.0 recently and after that, even though i have internet access, i can not get to the iTunes store and update podcasts. please help

    Hello a.mcintyre.rn,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music, Podcasts, and iTunes Store app on your iPad.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:

  • Finder and iTunes stall when attempting to access ext. firewire HD

    Since I upgraded to 10.4.10, the Finder, iTunes, and other apps that are attempting to access files on the external hard drive completely beachball/stall when waking the hard drive from sleep. Additionally, the dock and menu bar bork.
    The only fix is to unplug the hard drive (without properly ejecting it!), and instantly, all the apps become responsive.
    Anyone have information on this. My external hard drive, which contains my iTunes music and other files, has become virtually useless.

    Same thing is happening to me.. Both at home on my Powerbook G4 and work on my G5.
    Was working perfectly. Both systems running 10.4.10.
    Lacie 80gig FW400 drive.
    Thinking it was the drive failing I promptly cloned it.
    DiskWarrior and Disk Utility show no signs of error. I've reformatted, Zeroed all data many times. The drive 'appears' to be fine. I have copied my music back on to the drive; but it Hangs finder.
    I've tried to re-import the music through iTunes to the drive. Again, gets about halfway and hangs finder.
    Occasionally Disk Utility will return : "error could not unmount disk" when checking it out with Repair/Verify Sometimes it's fine.

  • Finder and iTunes issues.

    This past week or so, iTunes has been force booting itself at seemingly random times.
    This has been causing me issues when I am working on video or audio projects, as when iTunes boots it eats almost all of my RAM and causes most of my programs to lock up, even if only temporarily.
    When this happens Finder eventually loses connection to my LAN and ejects my external hard drives. When I try to reconnect to them, the operation either times out, it says the drives can't be found or that my LAN isn't running. I should note I'm using an AirPort Extreme base station to create my LAN and share my drives.
    To try to solve this, I have tried force quitting Finder, but then it won't start again, instead citing some error code.
    This again becomes a problem when trying to shut down as Finder is required to complete the process. The only way I can get around this is to force reboot my computer by holding the power button down until my MacBook shuts itself off.
    Immediately upon reboot, all programs that were affected by iTunes and RAM loss take an EXTREMELY long time to finish booting.
    All my software and drivers are up to date.
    I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a late 2010 MacBook 2.4GHz Intel Duo core.
    AirPort is Extreme 2nd version running version 7.6.1
    ==Update==
    It seems two reboots are required for my drives to show up over my LAN.
    After the forced shutdown and reboot it doesnt work.

    I've gotten everything running again, but iTunes still persists in force booting itself when I don't ask it to.
    I've checked my sync and update settings on my iTouch, but it still does it.
    I've gotten past the Finder force reboot issues by just telling my computer to reboot when my network is experiencing difficulties.
    This has also solved the issue of said drives and network not showing up again upon reboot.
    Programs still take ages to boot if they were not quit properly (ie. iTunes caused massive lock up and programs had to be force quit), and this is still affecting my work flow negatively.

  • I got an "Apple mobile Device' failed to start error during installation and itunes won't install.

    For some reason I got an error message trying to update itunes on my Vista PC and for some reason could not run itunes. I uninstalled itunes completely and tried to download a new installation. Near the end of the installation I got this error message. "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I was given the choices of 'cancel', 'retry', and 'abort'. I tried 'retry' and got the same error again. I tried 'abort' and the installation eventually ended in another error and suggested that I reinstall itunes.  I was in the administrator's account when I attempted all these things.Has anyone had a similar problem or knows how to get the installation completed?? Thanks for any help.

  • Quicktime Error Code ; -3 and iTunes will not open!!!

    I have attempted to install iTunes and am recieving Error Code : -3 when it trys to install quicktime...Then when I attempt to open Itunes after the installation it tells me that 'iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing'. How can I resolved this so that iTunes 6 runs correctly, and I can use my iPod??

    When I try and install Quicktime, this message appears when it gets to the stage of 'Error 1402: Could not open key HKEY/LOCALMACHINE/SOFTWARE/Apple Computer Inc./Quicktime/InstalledFiles/QuicktimeUpdater.exe. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel'. Then after pressing OK, this error message appears 'Error -1603 Fatal Error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.'
    This is what happens when I attempt to open Itunes 'iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes'

  • Finder and itunes stop responding.

    everytime i try to drag and drop files from itunes onto a folder on my desktop tp transfer to my back up itunes freezez and then so does finder. I have to force quiet both and relaunch finder. does anyone else have this problem?? i have snow leopard and my mac is about 3 yrs old.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Help Viewer in Finder and iTunes not working properly

    When I click on any of the links in the Finder help viewer, nothing happens; if I type something in the search box, a list of topics display but if I click the show button for any of them, nothing happens. Same in iTunes. Looks like my help is screwed up with Apple apps. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Yvan

    Hi Danycom,
    Try this... locate these files: com.apple.help.plist and com.apple.helpviewer.plist and com.apple.recentitems.plist and
    There are located here:
    /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate those files and drag them to the Trash. Empty the Trash and reboot. This fix should also correct your iTunes Help Viewer also. If this doesn't do the job, post back and we'll dig deeper!
