Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • Hi guys, an empty folder is stuck in my trash & I get this message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in the folder can't be read or written. (Error code -36). It won't shift no matter how I try to Secure Empty trash. Any ideas?

    When I try to copy the Aperture file, it copies about 70% of the file (it's about 33GB in size), and halfway through I get this error.
    I'm able to copy 99.99% of all of the images if I open the Aperture Folder using the "show package contents" under the backups using finder (Time Machine Backups>Backups.backupdb>CQ Macbook Air>2012-04-30-070933>HD.....>Pictures>Aperture Library). The only file I can't copy is that picture, which I'm totally ok with deleting, but Finder won't delete it for me. If nothing else works, I could copy the individual masters and re-create the folders, however I'd hate to do this as I would have to go through 10,000+ pics

  • Keep getting an error code 13010 when trying to launch iTunes

    Unable to launch iTunes. 

    IMO Adobe  left  a Program out of the typically list namely Photoshop
    Troubleshoot Update Errors
    Many update errors are caused by missing or modified files required by Photoshop, typically by a disk cleanup utility (Ex: CleanMyMac, MacKeeper, etc). Make sure you have the latest updates for your clean-up utilities or discontinue use.
    Explanations of error codes:
    U = Updater.
    44 = Install Update Error
    M1 = Automatic
    M2 = Standalone mode
    P = Patcher
    6 = Done With Errors
    7 = Installation Failed
    ISSUE: Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7, U44M2P7, U44M1P6
    SOLUTION: Run the installer. Reinstall Photoshop CS6 to repair/replace the missing/modified file. Select Help>Updates… to run the updater again. http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html
    ISSUE: The adobe update 13.0.1.2 errors with code U44M1I210.
    SOLUTION: Restart your system, download and install the updates manually. See “Solution 3″ here. http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1i210-installing-updates-ccm.html
    ========================================================================================== ======================================================
    To fix the update install problems I've had with CC I use the direct installer I downloaded from Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools  Follow the download instruction to the letter otherwise you will be denied access.  Once to have it. Install CC on top of itself.   That will back level CC to  CC version 14.0.  Then use Photoshop menu Help>Updates.  All updates should install and all the extensions and addition you made to cc will still be there.

  • I tunes won't launch after system recovery

    I had a recent problem with some hijackware and was forced to do a system restore to get rid of it.
    After the system restore, I ran all the XP updates and downloaded itunes 7.3 but it won't launch. I keep getting:
    "itunes has encountered a serious error and must shut down. sorry for the inconvenience".
    Have tried downloading itunes again. Have tried the repair utility but so far without success.

    i have no clue what that is or how to check if i do or dont have it
    in that case you haven't installed one of them.
    okay, let's try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • Error code -50 hard drives won't eject

    I am using three G-drives, a 4TB RAID drive, and two 3-TB G-drives. On both my Macbook and iMac I am having problems ejecting them. I get the message
    "The disk wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it." even when all the programs on the computer are closed.
    I also get error code -50
    "The operation cannot be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -50) when I try to create a new folder or move files on 2 of the drives.
    At first I thought the problem was my iMac which recently had it's internal drive replaced, but I have been using the hard drives with my Macbook and am getting the same problems so now I think it's a problem with the drives, but since it is happening with all 3 I'm not sure what's up. I ran disk utility and verified the discs and it said everything was ok.
    All three drives are used to store video files and FCP 7 media for editing.
    I cannot find any information on what could be causing this and would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Usually this is indicative of a damaged directory. However, sometimes it is indicative of a dying hard drive,
    or damaged peripheral interface.
    Since you say all of your critical data is on the drives, I'd purchase Prosoft Data Rescue and another empty Mac formatted drive you can recover the data to and see if that is successful.
    If that is not, follow my directory repair FAQ:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    In the future always make sure you have at least two copies of your data at all times as my backup FAQ explains:

  • CANNOT REMOVE ERROR CODE 13010

    I have down loaded new version of itunes but still get erroe code 13010 what can i do please?

    Try the following:
    1. Go to the following folder: username/Music/iTunes/
    2. Remove the following files from this folder:
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    3. Open iTunes.
    4. You will have to re-scan your media.
    No! Not the iTunes Library.itl file!! That is what makes your library.  Delete that and when you open iTunes you will get a blank, brand new library which will certainly take care of the issue because you will be starting from scratch (the media files will still be on the computer).  By "re-scan your media" this will mean adding it all again to the library, rebuilding your playlists, starting off with playcounts zero and no ratings.
    Caddyfan, I see you have systematically posted in quite a number of topics about this issue.  I hope you post a correction about this in each one, or if you did indeed mean delete the entire library file at least make it clear this will be a consequence of your suggestion.

  • PC: i-tunes won't launch, update and restore greyed out - updater freezes

    Hi - Please excuse the system info below - that refers to my laptop but our sons shuffle ismarried to our PC.
    I found my son's shuffle sitting on the hall dresser today and he informed me that it has not been working for some time. He's 8 years old but he's only had the shuffle since Christmas - I'm inclined to think he really hasn't been able to use it much.
    First signs of a problem were flashing green and orange lights - no songs I guess. Battery shows steady green.
    Downloaded and installed latest i-tunes update and i-pod updater. When the i-pod is connected to our PC (running XP) the front status light and the back battery lights both blink orange. Unfortunately, we do not have any 2.0 usb connections on the Dell but we've been able to successfully connect our other son's shuffle to the back port.
    When the shuffle is connected i-tunes will not launch. If I launch i-tunes and then connect the shuffle, i-tunes does not recognize the i-pod.
    With the updater lauched and then connecting the i-pod the updater freezes at 'initializing' and both update and restore buttons are greyed out.
    I have reset the i-pod many times and browsed the support discussions and articles - it seems I may need to remove the updater but I have not found instructions for the process appropriate to a PC.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - even if its just to say that we should bring it in for service. UGH - but where is the darned receipt?

    Hey mmlise - glad to hear I'm not alone on this...
    By the way - I uninstalled and reinstalled both i-tunes and i-pod updater as per Apple instructions for PC. At least this time the updater informed me as to what it updates but it is not even initializing now - it just keeps telling me to "plug in an i-pod to update it".
    i-tunes still will not launch until I remove the shuffle from the usb.
    I know that the usb is working (tried several other ports anyway) since windows pops up with a balloon to say that the device could perform faster on a 2.0 usb...
    I've been out of the loop for awhile now on the boards - is this some sort of update bug?
    Please help...

  • I-tunes won't launch-softwareupdate.exe error

    Back on 3/13, I was able to launch I-tunes, purchase and download songs and sync to my I-pod. I went away for a few days and hadn't tried to launch I-tunes until tonight. When I tried to launch I-tunes tonight, I got an immediate "software application has encountered a problem and needs to close," followed ultimately by a runtime error that forces the program to abort. The error signature says the application name is softwareupdate.exe app version 1.0.2.1. I saw some messages about launching Quicktime to rule out that it's related to the problem. I did, and it launched without error or incident. Is this an Apple Problem, a Microsoft Problem or both?

    you should be fine without it, but you would need to go online to the iTunes download page next time you wanted/needed to upgrade. there's a little more info on what it is and does in this document:

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products.  Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

    I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.  I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode.  I have been working on this for hours!  I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
    I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good.  Driver is showing up good with no problems.
    I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button.  This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton.  All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
    The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
    Please help.  I am without a phone.

    I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
    I will update if everything works correctly

  • Question : unable to open iTunes with error code 13010

    Hi all,
    I recently encounter the problem with opening the iTunes software.
    While iTunes opening, it always fail and pop up a message something like "can not open iTunes (13010)" (I use non-English version iTunes).
    Even I delete the iTunes database and any profile about iTunes in my computer and reinstall the iTunes, the same message still appears.
    I use iPod nano. But I don't think the problem is on ipod. Because even if I did not plug ipod to computer, the iTunes still can not launch.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thank you for your help
