Computer freezes before itunes can open

I just tried to update to itunes 7.0.1 on my Windows XP Home computer. I thought the installation process went fine. However, whenever I click on the itunes icon or on any audio file itunes doesn't open. The computer just freezes up before the itunes program even loads up. I have done multiple hard resets and it keeps doing the same thing. Any suggestions??

Hi,
Please read your manual, if there is a jumper the manual should have mentioned it. AFAIK, there is NO such jumper on this board.
You have another thread working on your 2nd question. Any further questions please follow the other thread. This thread is closed.

  • Upgraded MacBookPro6,2 to Lion and now computer freezes before login

    Hi everyone,
    As the subjed line says, I upgraded to Lion and everything smoothly (aparently), but after I tried to install Xcode for Lion the pc started getting slower and slower. The 10.7 Core libraries never installed (kept failing) and now the computer freezes before I can login. I tried to reinstall Lion (Pressing ⌘+R after hard powerdown) and following the prompts, but that failed. No reasons why, it just said user cancelled.
    Before I wipe out my hard drive, is there something else I can do? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am typing this reply from my MacBook Pro after recovering from the problem above. This post is for anyone else who might have the same problem. These are the steps to follow to be able to log back in:
    Power down the computer and then press ⌘+R while powering up. This is called Lion Recovery, according to this knowledge base article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    In the options presented, select Disk Utility and verify the hard drive (HD) and repair the permissions on it. If your HD is not OK after verifying it, you will need to repair the HD as well.
    Once the step above is complete, restart the computer.
    Log in as normal.
    Once you log in, it is important to find and solve whatever is causing the freeze.
    In my case, it was a botched Xcode installation. If you do not fix the problem, the computer will freeze again next time you restart it, so make sure you check everything and uninstall anything that you may have installed recently. Some Adobe applications have known issues as of this posting (July 2011), so definitely remove anything new from Adobe you may have installed after upgrading to Lion or in the last couple of weeks.
    Final note: If you cannot find the problem and your computer freezes again the next time you restart, you can regain access to it by following the steps above. Follow them, log in and make a backup of your important stuff and either go back to Leopard or contact Apple support for further instructions.
    Good luck!

    Try a cleaning disc. You can get them at places like Radio Shack.
    If nothing helps your optical drive has probably failed. You can replace it or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the Apple SuperDrive as it won't work with macs that have a built in drive.

  • Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Can anyone help me find my old library now that I appear to have deleted it or overwritten it accidentally?  I'm always asked if I want to update when I put in my i-pod and have to do that before I can open my library so I think it was this action.

    Can anyone help me find my old library now that I appear to have deleted it or overwritten it accidentally?  I'm always asked if I want to update when I put in my i-pod and have to do that before I can open my library so I think it was this action that caused me to delete previous library.  Can anyone help?  Apple support have been hopeless as they don't seem to respond to this particular problem but keep giving me answers to finding my purchases which i already know how to do!

  • Since the last update my Numbers app in IOS, iPad3 and iphone5 will not open.  It works fine on my macbook pro.  It starts but before I can open a file it closes.

    Since the last update my Numbers app will not load in either my iPad3 or my iPhone5.  It works fine on my MacBook Pro.  The app starts but before I can open a file it closes.  Is this a common problem and do you know hwo to solve it?

    Hi Michael,
    If you've already restarted both your iOS devices after the update and Numbers for iOS still won't load, you might try clearing the documents temporarily out of iCloud, opening the apps, closing them, and then placing the documents back in iCloud.
    To do this, in Finder on your Mac, hold down the option key and then Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.  Move the documents there out to the Desktop or other location of your choosing.  Then give iCloud time to sync.  Then try opening Numbers on iPad and on the iPhone.  If they open, then close them, and move the documents back into  Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and let iCloud sync again.
    That sometimes clears up the problem.

  • When I close a site, I cannot open a new site as it says there is another page open. It takes several minites before I can open a new site.

    Hello, When I have a site open and wish to close it, the window closes but if I want to immediately open a new site, I get an error box saying that Firefox is already open. I usually takes several minutes for the close process to work properly before I can open a new site url.
    I also have been having system crashes when I am looking at video--can be news reports, video on my harddrive, or any other streaming video I may be watching. Is this due to Firefox or can you say?
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

    What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

    What is making my email show for a second and then disappear before I can open it? This is creating a problem. They aren't going to junk mail either. They are disappearing on iCloud and my iPad and my iMac.

    Care to share which OS version you are using since you posted in the ML forums?
