How do I fix this problem with my iTunes?

I've been having problems with my iTunes for over a week now - since I tried to update to iOS 5 - and I've tried everything. I've had to uninstall iTunes multiple times and each time I have reinstalled it, there has been some form of error, the list seems endless. Today, I managed to get an older version to succeessfully install but when I tried to update to the newest version, this is what appeared on my screen after the 'install.'
"The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteSystemAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll"
Any idea what this means, and/or how to resolve it?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • HT5137 I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.

  • How can I fix this problem with exporting Pages files?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with exporting Pages files to Word or PDF (I haven't tried the other formats). Whenever I try to export the Page file, I get one message like this: "The document "XXXXXXX" could not be exported as "YYYYYYY". This problem started after the last Pages update, before that it was working fine. I restarted the computer, updated the OS, but the problem hasn't been solved.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards,
    Filipe

    Computers are made of parts made by humans and assembled by humans of materials that are not perfect.
    For example, a display cable that was accidentally pinched during assembly would pass quality control testing with flying colors and would not fail until the lid had been opened and closed several times.
    Likewise a display might not fail until powered on and off a few hundred times.

  • How do you fix this problem with the View Menu?

    Hi. This is my first time on this forum so please forgive me if not worded correctly.
    I have recently installed CS5 on Windows 7. I work with large folders of images. When I open the folder the images are spread out with a big gap between each row of images. It is much easier when they are close together especially when I am selecting a large number of images to transfer or copy. If I change the menu view to details and then immediately back to list they display as I want. As soon as I open any folder again they go back to being all spread out.
    I thought it may be a Windows problem but I have set it up correctly in Windows Explorer and saved it as that option for all files. They display perfectly on that and also other programs I use where I need to view large amount of images.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem may be and how I can fix it? Please see the following screen grabs which will show what I mean.
    The top version is how I like the files to look. The bottom version is what I always get in CS5. If you can solve the problem I would be very happy.
    Thanks Carol

    What you are seeing is a windows folder option.
    In Windows 7 click the start button, choose computer then open your C drive.
    From there you will see something similar to this,
    Click on the sort options and choose list. Now we need to make it the default so when you look in photoshop it remains as a list.
    to  do that from this same window choose tools then folder options.  A new window will pop up called folder options on the second tab called View is an all folders button, this will apply this view to all folders. if you have Photo shop open close it re-open it and how you will always get the view you want.

  • How do I fix this problem with Faces on my iPhoto?

    Recently, I bought a new MacBook Pro (with Retina Display, Early 2015, 500 GB.) When I restored my information from a Time Machine backup, everything appeared to be perfect. However, when I actually started looking through iPhoto, my photos began incorrectly rotating themselves before my eyes.
    I tried just about everything to fix this. I went through all the processes of "repair permissions," "rebuild thumbnails," "repair database," and "rebuild database," and none of those fixed the problem. Worse, more continue to incorrectly rotate themselves before my eyes as I view them. Usually, the ones that rotate themselves are portraits, but occasionally landscape photos do the same.  Also, when I select "reveal in finder" for a photo that has rotated itself incorrectly, the "original file" is always correct, while the "modified file" is incorrect. I don't know why this "modified file" comes about because I am certainly not modifying it.
    Taking a suggestion from a user here in the Apple Support Community, I used iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild a new library from my original one. This appeared to work really well. Although many photos were rotated incorrectly, this appeared to be organic, and I wasn't noticing photos being incorrectly rotated as I looked through them. So, I set out to complete the long task of rotating all of my photos correctly in my new iPhoto library.
    However, I've encountered another problem (in the new library only.) iPhoto isn't recognizing when I change, add, or delete faces. If I do any of those three things, the information bar still recognizes the original state of faces (i.e. saying "2 unnamed faces" when I just named the faces or deleted the empty boxes.) This is annoying because it makes my library inconsistent, and I would at least like the option of using the feature.
    So, I now have two iPhoto libraries: my original one that keeps rotating photos incorrectly as I look through them and one that doesn't acknowledge changes made to faces.
    I would really appreciate any help in trying to fix either of my libraries. I hope to make one perfect soon and delete the other one to make more space, but I want to be completely satisfied with one before I delete the other.
    Thank you so much,
    Luke

  • My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It will not play except when connected to my computer.  I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

    My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds.  It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me   I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work.  How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting?  I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily.  Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks.  Karen in GA

    Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

    When I click to open a photo it opens a black screen with a grey triangle, exclamation mark in the middle. How do I fix this problem?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • S4 won't work with car adapter but my old phone will. How do I fix this problem?

    When I plug the adapter into my S4 no music will go through my car speakers. However, with my old phone it works. How may I fix this problem?

        brownmde - That definitely shouldn't be happening with your phone. Let's see what we can do to get your phone and car working together. With regards to the adapter, is this a 3.5 mm aux cable going into the headphone jack of your S4, and into your car's audio head unit? When you plug in the cable, does your phone recognize that a cable/headphones have been plugged in? Do you hear audio out of headphones that are plugged in to the S4?
