Help!  I have spent the last 5 hours trying to get my itunes to work

I have searched through many messages, tried disabling my firewall, downloaded a new version of itunes from a disk I bought today, downloaded a version from itunes.com, and uninstalled a few times, tried to download a standalone version of quick time on top of the version from itunes, tried to down load an old version of quick time
nothing works. When I click on the icon it gives me the hour glass for a second or two, then nothing happens.

When I click on the icon it gives me the hour glass for a second or two, then nothing happens. :(
by any chance, is your firewall Norton Internet Security 2005?
if so, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:

  • I have spent the last hour trying to upgrade my Iphone using ITunes.  Now, my phone will not work at all.  I think the backup is on my computrer, but it appears now to upload.  What to do?

    I have spent the last hour trying to upgrade my IPhone to IOS 7 using ITUnes.  Now, my phone wil not work at all.  I think it is backed up on my computer, but I am unable to get it to download to the phone.  What to do?

    Thanks, as it still will not work, I assume it is damaged and needs to be sent in for repairs.

  • I have spent the last week trying to get a new phone.

    Last Wednesday I spoke with a lovely young lady in the Charlotte, NC call center.  My cell phone was no longer working and I was just a little over a month shy of my renewal date.  We had a great conversation and she granted an exception to have me order a new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and we could renew my contract early.  Great!  I ordered 2nd day shipping thinking it would be to my home my Friday, maybe Monday.  I was fine with that.
    I kept an eye on verizonwireless.com and noticed it still said my order was pending as of Thursday, so I called and spoke with a gentleman by the name of Tucker.  He told me the phone was still pending manager approval, but that he would have that approved immediately and it would be sent out post haste.  Not ideal, but I could live with Monday delivery. 
    Yesterday (Monday), I phoned again.  My Verizon didn't have the tracking number.  The person I spoke with called the warehouse and said that my credit card was declined, and that was the reason the phone was never ordered.  She said I should have been told this last week and apologized.  I asked if I could go into a store to pick up the phone and she had to talk to her manager to get that approved.  After a long hold she came back on the line and told me that I could go into any store to pick up a phone, that I would be eligible for an early upgrade, and it would be clear to the person in the store that was approved.
    I get to the store yesterday, and they check my account, which says I'm not eligible for an early upgrade and I'm told at this point I will not be able to get the phone there.  I call customer service and speak with a girl who transfers me to tech service, where I reach a man named Tucker.  I'm not sure if it's the same person I spoke with last week.  Tucker senses my frustration and tells me he will fix the problem.  He offers to send me a phone via overnight mail to my home address.  He says he cannot make it so I can pick up a phone anywhere, and that it's quicker if he just does this.  I had resigned myself to the fact that I will need to wait for a new cell phone, and accept the offer to overnight the phone.
    Today, I called customer service.  My phone hadn't shipped.  It turns out the terms & conditions were accepted after the batch time, and it wouldn't be available until tomorrow.   I explained the situation yet again to a new person, who felt for what I had been through and told me that it's not typical service and not acceptable.  He offered me a special promotional plan and offered to overnight a phone.  I indicated I preferred to get a phone today (as I've said the last 3 days I've called) since my previous orders through customer service had gone awry and that I would appreciate it if there was a supervisor I could speak with.  The rep transferred me to Marlene.
    Marlene again sympathized with the situation and told me should would resolve the issue.  She told me the reason the store was unable to fulfill the order was that the Wireless Zone I'd gone to was a 3rd party and I'd have to go to a corporate store.  She called the closest Verizon store while I was on hold and spoke with the manager.  She got back on the phone and told me everything was all set...I should talk to Zach and I'd be able to get a phone.  I drove the 25 minutes to the Verizon store in Waterbury, CT.  I got there and Zach informed me that he was sorry for the confusion, but that he wasn't able to give me the phone since he could only offer me a small discount.  I had to buy a $70 pay as you go phone in order to remain reachable by work and in case of emergencies (another snow storm tonight).
    Needless to say I was and am very frustrated.  When I returned to the office an hour and a half later, I called customer service and got Ryan.  He offered the same thing I'd been offered before; he would order the phone via overnight delivery.  To sweeten the pot, he offered me a promotional plan for $20 cheaper than my current plan.  Great.  I was on the phone for 23 minutes, the majority of which I spent on hold while Ryan tried to get an approval.  I hung up when I had an urgent issue come up.  I called back later and spoke with a woman who told me the order was not placed, that she could call me back with a resolution in a half an hour.  I did not hear back from her.
    I finally call back close to 3:30 and get John.  John is very kind and is sorry for all the difficulty I've experienced.  He gets a director to approve a change to my upgrade date so I can go into a store (and he specified any store) to get a new phone.  I left work early and went to the store, where the rep said I could not get a phone due to the fact that there was a pending order on the account.

    That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly.  Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled.  I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned.  Sorry this happened the way it did.  Definitely not efficient.

  • I have spent the last hour

    Trying to work out how to dispute purchases made in Japan which have appeared on My account. I notified Apple by email when they asked if they were mine, and advised they were not. they have now deducted all the credit i have to pay for them.  Can't find a way to report the problem just get continually sent to support pages and go round and round. I have never seen such poor support pages to resolve a problem, and can't seen to find anyway to talk to or email someone to sort the problem.
    Any advise gratefully received.....

  • I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer

    I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer.  Any ideas?

    Hi Cynthia,
    Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
    For your seven column table:
    Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
    Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
    The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
    To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
    To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
    Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
    Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
    With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
    With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
    With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I have spent the last 2 days uploading my itunes library and i can see the tracks but they have no sound

    The latest edition is corrupted and you need to fix this.

  • Trying the last hour trying to add in the parent tab on Apex

    Hi,
    I have a the tabs on my Apex page and the parent tabs would not ever show up on my new page. It says it's on my page definition. Any suggestions? Thanks,
    Samantha

    Hi Samantha,
    Are you definitely using a 2 Level tab page template?
    It can be changed in the display attributes of your page definition. In APEX 4 in the tree view double click on the page name when editing your page in application builder. If your using component view or less than APEX 4 then single click on the page name when editing your page in application builder.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • I cannot activate icloud foto. When I click on icloud the window comes up but in seconds the possibility to click to activate foto freezes. Can anyone help. I have spent so many hours trying to solve the problem.

    i am so tired. Have used many hours now to find a way to get my fotos from my Iphone to my PC'er (windows 7). I have downloaded Icloud, but I cannot aktivate "foto" When I click on icloud there comes a window, where it seems that I can click on foto. But within sekonds the 3. (foto) possibility freezes and the vindow sort of changes: You can still se the choice "Foto" but it cannot be activated. Can anyone help, please!

    Thanks for the link to your system. 
    You have a Combination BluRay and Surround System that includes WIRELESS Rear Speakers:
    Rear wireless ready: Yes, 5.1ch wireless system included, 7.1ch wireless option with purchase of SH-FX67 + SB-HS100A
    This could account for why the BluRay is generating interference with your wireless network signal.
    You can go thru the process of changing the wireless  channels and other changes to the Verizon Actiontec Router or hook up your old router which was working before you switched to FIOS.
    FIOS has a Superior Product over any cable system and I would hate to see you leave over something that was out of their control. 
    By the way, looking at the picture of the rear connections for your Panasonic you would want to have an Optical Toslink cable go from the back of the Verizon HD Set Top Box (Optical Out) to the Optical In jack on the back of the Panasonic.   This connection will provide you with Dolby Digital sound (If Broadcast by Channel) while you are watching TV.  You may need to switch inputs on the Panasonic Remote to get this to work.  You may also have an Optical Out jack on the TV that could be connect as well if you are using an HDMI Cable.
    Your Verizon STB  would be connected to the TV by either HDMI, Component, Composet, or Coax (Highest Quality to Lowest Quality).  The HDMI would also provide sound to your TV so that it's internal speakers would work if desired.
    If you are the original poster (OP) and your issue is solved, please remember to click the "Solution?" button so that others can more easily find it.
