Desperately need some help!! iTunes/Quicktime/iChat/Sound problems....

So, yesterday, I was online, on google video, and when I pressed play on the video, there was no sound, but the video worked...the same was true on every video site i checked. My computer volume was at max, and I even tested the speakers to make sure they were on, and they indeed were.
I thought that was odd...but then the problems really started.....
After that, I clicked on my iChat icon. It bounced once, and did not open. The same thing happened when I clicked on iTunes. 1 bounce, and then nothing. I checked to make sure all of my iTunes mp3 files were on my computer....they indeed are all still here, bit nothing I can do opens iTunes. I've run disc utilities, and disc repair...according to that, everything is peachy-keen on my computer.....but iChat and iTunes STILL will not open, and there is still no sound on anything.
Now, i'm leaning towards the archive and install option....or even just backing up what I want to save, wiping the drive, and starting from scratch.....but i'd really like to not have that happen.
(and, as a side question, if all I want to save are images, several documents, and many mp3 files, would everything be okay if I just backed them up on an external drive, and then loaded them back on to my computer after reinstalling OS X?)
Sorry about the length of this, but I am at my wit's end, and I have no idea what to do.

by third-party, do you mean things I installed that are not manufactured by mac? If that is the case, I have microsoft office, Smart Music, Flip4mac, and Senuti.
I got rid of Flip4Mac to see if that affected my sound problems, but it did not. So, as of now, my problem remains the same...

Desperately need some help with client-server java programming

Hi all,
I'm new to client server java programming. I would like to work on servlets and apache tomcat. I installed the apache tomcat v 5.5 into my machine and i have sun java 6 also. I created a java applet class to be as a client and embed it into an html index file, like this:
<applet code="EchoApplet.class" width="300" height="300"></applet>However, when I try to run the html file on the localhost, it print this error: classNotFoundException, couldn't load "EchoApplet.class" class. On the other hand, when I open the index file on applet viewer or by right clicking, open with firefox version 3, it works.
I thought that the problem is with firefox, but after running the applet through the directory not the server, i found that the problem is not any more with firefox.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem. I'm working on it for 5 days now and nothing on the net helped me. I tried a lot of solutions.
Any help?

arun,
If the browser is going to execute $myApplet, first it must get the $myApplet.class from the server, right?
So it follows that:
1. $myApplet.class must be acessible to server, and
2. the server must know exactly where to find $myApplet.class
So, the simplest solution is to is put the $myApplet.class in the same directory as the HTML file which uses it... then your applet tag is simple:
<applet height="200" width="400" code="$myApplet.class" ></applet>* The height & width attributes are required
* Note the +.class+ is required in the code attribute (a common mistake).
* This works uniformly (AFAIK) accross all java-enabled browsers.
* There are incompatibilities with the codebase attribute. Poo!
Cheers. Keith.

I have 2 iphoto libraries but one is lost, missing, cannot seem to find it... tried an apple care person - they were no help - we use Time Machine for external backup... but cannot find my older iPhoto library! I desperately need some help!

I have recently had something really odd happen within iphoto. My photos from May-Oct 2013 appeared to be missing from my primary Iphoto library.
last night I was trying to find any additional Iphoto libraries on my Imac... I could not find them... but then somehow the May-Oct 2013 library showed up and now I cannot find the "current" primary Iphoto library. I sought help from apple care today but no solutoin from them after 2 hours trying. I have timemachine that backs up my Imac each day to an external hard drive. When I open Iphoto while holding down the "option" key - it lets me choose which Iphoto library... but only (1) library comes up... I can't figure out what happened - but it seems that I must have more than one Iphoto library because yesterday I was able to see all my photos except the "gap in dates" from May-Oct 2013. Today - I can only open a Library called Iphoto2014... and it contains the photos from the gap in dates. I can't "see" any other options to open photos... but just yesterday there appeared to be a different library available.
Any advice or steps i should take to locate my missing photos - would be soooooo much appreciated.

Need some help and guidance please!

Hi everyone,
I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end. In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US. Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional. Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error. I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.
I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie. He/she said that she could see no issue. (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well. He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning. They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP. I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP. I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device. The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor.
That is where I stand. HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware. I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support. Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue? I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair. If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?

Dear ndjumpball,
I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice. Regretfully, I do not. I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school. My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7. Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable. I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for: decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay. Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too. It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard. Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment. Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install. In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you. The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care: "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not. If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology... Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series. (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working. After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro. After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
My personal recommendation: clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install. Bottom line: your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine. You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent! :-)

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

Need some help with strange sounds in Logic Pro 8

Hi!
I need some help with a problem I have in Logic Pro 8.
When I have arrange window open, suddley strange high tones starts to make noise in my headphones. I don't know where these sounds comes from or why, but I need some help to get them away. Should I just try to contact Apple?
Martin

Hi Martin
Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
Which mac?
Which OS?
any hardware devices?
if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.

Need some help with sound quality

Hi guys, new here. I'm working on creating an album on my own. Bass and vocals are real, everything else is using software instruments. I have about 8 songs done, but the problem is I don't really know what I'm doing as far as recording and levels go.
I'm using studio headphones and everything sounds fantastic through them, and even pretty good if I just hook up some earbuds, but when I bounce out a track and burn them to do a disc and play it in my car, it sounds awful. Suddenly the guitar is too low, drums are too loud.
I really need some help here. I'm even willing to pay someone to get me on the right track. Using paypal or whatever.

Where's the fun in that? Maybe you have different motives, but I got into home recording because I like doing things myself, even if I have to learn the hard way. If you know enough to get good bass and vocal recordings and mix that with virtual instruments, then you are well on your way to making a decent sounding mix. Mixing in headphones can be very deceiving. Things simply sound different in headphones. You need some monitors, even if they are crappy because if you can get it to sound good in crappy monitors it will likely sound good on other speakers.
The fun and experience comes from getting a good balance that sounds good in headphones, and in the monitors, and in your home stereo, and in your car stereo. Use the different audio systems as a reference. If the drums are too quiet in the car, bring them up a bit. If the bass is too loud in your headphones, put them down a bit.
If you bring in your recordings to be mixed by somebody else, first of all you're going to end up paying hundreds, if not $1000+ dollars, even in a sub-par studio. Secondly, it's never going to sound how you want it to sound. It's going to sound how THEY want it to sound.
I know it takes longer, and it's hard work, but you will have such a tremendous amount of satisfaction when your project is done knowing that YOU recording it, and YOU mixed it on YOUR equipment. It will be 100% yours.
Where's the fun? How about the fun in interacting with another human being? How about the satisfaction in having another validate what you've been trying to produce?
I don't think it's helpful to make generalizations about what type of experience the OP might have in getting professional help. I have had good experiences working with mixing engineers, and perhaps I have just been lucky, but I've been able to produce music that sounded how I wanted it to sound, but at a level beyond which my skill at the time would have been able to produce, AND I gained some insights to help me in the future.
It IS satisfying to teach yourself a new skill. And it takes a lot of patience, trial and error, and you might miss the mark more often than you hit it. If you're in a rush, it might be a viable solution to contact some studios and see if you can work with them. Learning from others is perfectly acceptable.

i need some help please,, i already updated my latest itunes version, usb troubleshooting done, need some help please

USB:
Use a port directly on the computer, not a hub. If it is not a laptop and has ports on the back and front use a port on the back.
Security Software:
Disable your antivirus and firewall, then restore.
Other:
If the phone has been jailbroken that is likely the cause of your problem. Also, if the computer you are using to restore has been used to jailbreak any iOS device in the past.

Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

Help - Itunes/Quicktime downlaods but won't launch to install

Hi peeps,
Need some help here; iTunes stopped launching one day so deleted it, and Quicktime, and tried to reinstall. Problem is now the installer won't launch for either. Tried direct download and saving the file to download to desktop. Always the same, goes to load and just stops, no error message, just nothing. I have PC with Windows Vista. Help before PC goes over balcony!
Thanks,

hiya!
just popping by to drop off a link to a QT standalone installer:

Error 1603: Need some help with this one

When installing iTunes I first get an error box saying
"Error 1406: Could not write value to key \Software\classes\.cdda\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
The second one (after I click on Ignore on the last box) I get it this one:
"Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation.
Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information"
Strange thing is that I do have full access to my computer (or atleast in all other cases I have had since I am the only one with an account on it).
I have done my best in trying to solve it myself but I'm running out of ideas. I have downloaded latest versions from the website and tried installing Quicktime separately. I have also tried removing Quicktime using add/or remove programs though I just I didn't dare to take full removal because it said something about system files.
Anyway I really need some help with this, anyone got any ideas?

Do you know how to count backwards? Do you know how to construct a loop? Do you know what an autodecrementor is? Do you know how to use String length? Do you know Java arrays start with index 0 and run to length-1? Do you know you use length on arrays too? Do you know what System.out.println does?
Show us what you have, there isn't anything here that isn't easily done the same as it would be on paper.
