  • How do I unfreeze my ical? ical has an error message that won't go away even if I force quit.

    Wondering how to get my ical running again? I have an error message that won't close and ical is unavailable. Error just says the server responded with an error. Happened after I cut and pasted a note into a reminder by accident...

    Mine started doing this yesterday after attempting to install the most recent security update (im running Tiger OS 10.4.)
    Took a while for me to remedy it but I found that by starting up from the CD that comes with the macbook (by holding 'c' as you switch on) and doing an Archive and Install (took 2 attempts as the first failed) it is working fine again. Installed the update by dragging it from the trash and clicking it and the Macbook seems good again.

  • TS3297 When I go to the iTunes store, all I get is a black screen. No error message, just won't open. I have tried going to iTunes on another device and it works fine.  Help!

    When I go to the iTunes store, it won't open.  I don't receive an error message of any kind, just a blank black screen.  I have tried to access the store on other devices in my home and it works.  All my music shows up in my library, but nothing will show up when I go to the actual store.  I have updated my software and made sure the date/time are correct.  Everything else seems to be working fine on my computer.  Not sure what is going on, but would really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

    I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment.  Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
    I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT.  I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
    My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
    I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions.... 

  • I am getting a runtime error message that won't allow itunes to open when I plug in my ipod.  Any suggestions?? I already rebooted my computer.  It worked fine yesterday.

    I am getting a run time error message that I've never seen before, it won't allow me to connect my ipod touch with windows.  It says:  An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    I have no idea what this means but it was working fine yesterday when I connected it. 
    I have rebooted my computer and nothing has been fixed.

    Did you do this:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Error message and won't start up

    I had a new Ipod Nano 6th Gen as part of the 1st Gen replacement program.
    I tried to load some music onto it and now it won't start up and when I connect it to my computer all I get is the error message
    " The iPod software update server could not contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes"
    I have checked and I have an internet connection and the latest version of iTunes.

  • IOS 7.04 - error message 3004 - won't install

    Hi,
    I just bought an iphone 5 - I did all the updates I needed to do - the latest Itunes, etc - trying to install IOS 7.04 just won't work.
    I keep getting the error message 3004.
    I've tried to restore and install nothing.
    I rebooted everyting many times.
    Any way to make this work?
    Thank you

    do a search on your hdd for quicktime and itunes files and delete them all manualy - also find out what files are installed that won't show on a "itunes" or "quicktime" search and delete them too
    then open Regedit and search for iTunes and Quicktime and delete what you find.
    restart and install iTunes again...
    after a wierd error i tryed reinstalling itunes and got the same error. i did what i just said and all worked again

  • ITunes keeps giving me an "error message" and won't download to my PC

    Why won't iTunes  download to my PC ? It keeps giving me an "error message!"

    "msvcr80.dll" error.
    First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you still get the errors after that, try the following user tip:

  • 80gb Ipod disconnected on it's own, now has error message and won't restart

    I was about to put some new music on my mac formatted Ipod with my macbook, and then it disconnected itself, and the "connected" message wouldn't go away. I pressed select and menu and restarted it, and now it won't do anything but display a message telling me to go to apple.com/support/Ipod with a big red x with a circle around it. It doesn't show up on my computer when i plug it in, so i cant restore it, and it won't respond to anything except restarting, but that just leads to the error message. Anyone know if I can fix this, or am i out 300 bucks?

    I forgot to mention that after each step I went to the System Prefs and made sure that Epson 2200 was listed under Print and Fax.

  • Error message - iTunes won't install

    I have a problem when trying to install Quicktime and iTunes. An error message pops up that says "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I have uninstalled and installed Quicktime and iTunes many times and I still get this message. I believe that the problem is with Quicktime, but I have no idea why it is happening or how to fix it. Any ideas?

  • ITunes on Vista... no error message but won't install

    I am using Windows Vista and recently had a new harddrive put into my laptop, and am reinstalling programs. I'm having trouble with downloading iTunes. When I get the first window that says "You have chosen to open iTunesSetup.exe" I click Save File and it seems to download, and then that is all it does. There is no error message and when I search through my programs, there is nothing with that title or pertaining to my download. I have tried this several times with the same results. Also I have installed all updates for my laptop and everything is up to date. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to AD!
    Turn off your pop-up blocking software. When you click Save File, a dialogue box is supposed to pop up, asking where you want to save it to. That pop-up is being blocked.

  • I have an error message that won't go away and stops me from using any other buttons in the screen.

    I have an error message reading 'item over 1 byte. Connect to a wifi network or use iTunes on your computer to download 'tv show'.
    When I connect it to iTunes or use a wifi network nothing changes.  The warning remains in place no matter how many times I push 'ok'.  iTunes actually says the show is already fully downloaded.
    I can't use any other button or controls because the only thing responding is the 'ok' button on the error message.
    I've now given up and am just trying to exhaust the battery.  What a joke.  This device is only a week old.
    Anyone else with a suggestion on how to make the error message go away? I'm worried this will happen again.
    Thanks!

    Try this.
    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.

  • Moved computers - Error messages - podcasts won't sync - multiple problems

    I just moved my itunes and ipod from a macbook to a PC (I love the apples but I can't afford to buy them).
    When I plug in my ipod I get two very similar error messages that must be cleared before my ipod will sync (which is very annoying if you're in a hurry and you plug in your ipod and expect it to sync and don't notice the error messages come up and then come back a few minutes later and nothing has synchronized).
    The first is:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "How Microsoft Deployed and
    Architected SharePoint Server 2007", were not copied because they could not be found." and then at the bottom it says there are 87 total problems and I can click the + if I want to see all 87 problems.
    How do I fix that?
    Also I'm trying very very very very very hard to get Real Time with Bill Maher Episode #165 to move from my iTunes (where it rests tauntingly) to my iPod (which has only 1 brief video episode of "new rules". I've tried many different settings in the sync area including "sync the 5 most recent items", "sync the 5 most recent unplayed items", "sync all items", etc. but nothing I try moves this over.
    Please please please, how can I get Episode #165 onto my iPod before I die of old age?

    I am having the same problem.  iMessages sends and sync with my iphone 4s and ipad, but even though I'm signed in on my mac with iMessage, I can't send any mesages and they don't sync with the messages sent from my iphone.   I am signed in with my AppleID on the mac, and I get the confirmation notices on my iphone and ipad, but I can't send send or receive iMessages on the mac.
    I've tried the numerous fixes suggested in other articles, such as signing in and out on all my devices (starting with the iphone first), deleting plist files, uninstalling Flash player, resetting the PRAM, repairing disk permissions, booting in safe mode, but nothing works. 
    I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest version of Mavericks with Messages version 8 (4226). 
    My iCloud account is a different login than my AppleID I use for the iPhone, iTunes, and Messages, but that's because it's the AppleID that is tied to my cell phone number. 
    Thank you for the help. 

  • My apple mail has an error message and won't open after iTunes update 6/20/14

    I have a MacBook 13 Aluminum using Mountain Lion/MavericksX. Soon after I did a random update for iTunes mid June 2014 I noticed that I could no longer open my mail on my desktop. I did tell Apple about it when the error message came up, but I haven't heard anything and the last update 7/1/14 didn't help. I can use Entourage, but I like Apple mail better. Any ideas? Yow
    Message was edited by: yowwwwie
    I had all but given up on the Apple mail. Then I remembered that I hadn't checked it since my last X update yesterday. So, I tried and of course, APPL fixed it. Apple is so fantastic. Sorry but there is no problem to work on.

    Well I feel a bit silly about this. I gave up on Apple mail and was using Entourage. Yesterday I did the most recent update from APPL and hadn't checked to see if they'd come up with a fix. I'd written them to ask about it because the error occurred after the iTunes update so I figured there was a bug. I just opened it, and poof, apple mail again. It did go through something and dinged and opened. Thank you for writing me. Y
