How I Got iTunes to Work After the Latest (So-Called) Update

Does anyone at (cr)Apple test updates before releasing them?!! My iTunes, as I see has happened with many, MANY others, would not open after downloading the latest update. Here's what I did to fix this issue:
1. Go into Windows Control Panel, click on "Programs and Features", and find both Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Uninstall both of them (in my case, both applications were listed twice, with two different version numbers. Ihad to uninstall the newer one first, before I could uninstall the older version).
2. Download the correct version of iTunes for your operating system (32-bit for 32-bit versions of Windows; 64-bit for 64-bit versions of Windows), and SAVE it (NOT run!) somewhere, like your desktop.
3. Once downloaded, right-click on the file and use a program like 7-Zip to extract the files somewhere you'll be able to locate them (in my case, "ITunes64SetUp").
4. Go into the folder and find the follwing two files or programs: "AppleApplicationSupport.msi" and "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" (or, I'm assuming if your system is 32-bit Windows, that last one would be called "AppleMobileDeviceSupport32.msi" or maybe just "AppleMobileDEviceSupport.msi).
5. Double-click each one and that will launch the install programs. Follow the prompts and install both.
6. After that, your iTunes should work correctly. Mine did!
Good luck!
This is ridiculous that we have to do this - the average computer user would have NO idea how to fix this!

Quit iTunes.
Copy the iTunes Folder to the D drive, leave a copy on the C drive.
Then open the XML file in the C drive in the iTunes folder with a Text editor with "Find and Replace" ability.
Correct all the partial pathnames so it matches the new location where the iTunes Folder is now.
Example:
Find: C:\Windows\Users\Johnny\Music\iTunesFolder... to
Replace: D\\Music\iTunesFolder....
Quit iTunes and transfer all the folders out of the iTunes Folder on C except the two single files, including the XML you edited.
Start iTunes and click on one song you have but dislike, if it plays your fine. Leave the C/iTunes folders alone to make sure it works for all your content, then finally back it up or delete it to make room on C. Do a Windows defrag on C for increased performance.
If you get a Explanation Point in iTunes, it didn't find the file and you didn't correct the pathnames correctly..

Develop Module is not working after the latest 5.5 update.

I have uninstalled and installed from the direct link.
Cleaned up and optimized the catalog, etc.
Images are visible in the library and develop module, but if I try to start editing - there are no changes visible, unless I go to Library and back to Develop.
If I click "before/after" the blank screen appears.
Help! This is a major work issue for me!

Ok, I'm back!
- apply develop settings (via preset), if so: is it a custom preset?
I did apply a special preset (custom), just recently. Right now, uploading images without. Will see if that makes any difference. (Update) - NO difference.
- apply metadata
Copyright and Creator, but has done so for a while
- apply keywords
Yes. Always
- rename files
No.
Does Develop misbehave in the same way for all your images, or is it for a subset of the images? (Do you have any jpegs in your catalog? If so, does develop work for them?)
Do have some JPG, but generally all raw and it misbehaves with them all.
Have you tried making changes in Develop with the image zoomed in to 1:1? If so, is the behavior still the same?
Yes. At different zoom levels. Same problem.
Have you tried removing the *Previews.lrdata package that sits next to the catalog? Would need to do this while Lr is not running. (This will cause the need to regenerate previews, which can impact performance for a while.)
Mmmmm... I removed a bunch of things last time, maybe it was part of it... Can't find it right now. Where would it be?
Have you tried purging the Camera Raw cache, in the 'Camera Raw Cache Settings' of the 'File Handling' tab in the preferences?
Yes. No change.

Why did AME stop working after the last Windows 7 update

AME suddenly stopped working after the last Windows 7 update. After the initial splash screen, I get a message saying that AME is not working and the program will be closed. Then I get the windows message that it is searching for a solution, then nothing. I am using the Production CS6. This happens whether I try to start AME directly, or queuing through Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the entire package and have implemented all available updates from Adobe. I have no clue why this happened, but AME is crucial to my workflow.

Try to delete the following folders and then launch AME:
%AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder
%AppData%\Adobe\Common
Make sure to first make a backup of those folders.

After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly but does not open. How can I get Outlook to open?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

My HP LaserJet 1320 quit working correctly after the latest 10.8 update. HP site is useless. What do I do?

I'm working on a 2005 iMac with 10.8.5. After the latest update my HP LaserJet 1320 will only print one page then I have to shut down the printer and the computer and start all over again. The HP site is useless. Since the printer driver came from my latest update from Apple, there must be something I can do at this end. How do I get to the just printer driver to try loading it again? How do I go back to a printer driver that works?.

I am using Mountain Lion. I reset the system a thousand times. The Mac communicates fine with the printer, that's not the problem. Somehow, recently something changed in the ppd file for the LaserJet 1320 that it simply does not print properly. For instance, I sent a job to print two pages, and use the duplex. The duplex works, but then the other side comes out empty. Is there a place I can find the old - less secure, I don't care, I just want to print - ppd file for controlling the printer? I think the printer only supports certain level of Postscript commands, and the new ppd file expects a new level. This printer is 8 years old after all. If I plug the printer in Linux, it prints the same document fine.
Thanks for any help

Lighting cables and adapters are not working after the last iOS 7 update.

Looking for some help from Apple here. After the last iOS 7 update, some of my lightning cables and adapters have stopped working.
I have an iPhone 5 funning iOS 7.0.2.
I have a car charger/FM RF transmitter that has worked like a charm for years. Because none of these have been made with a lighting connector, I've had a genuine Apple adapter on it since I bought my iPhone 5 a year ago. Never had a problem until the last iOS update. Now when I plug it in, not connection is registered. I've verified the charger is working by removing the adapter and plugging the old iPhone connecting into an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I've also verified the adapter is working by plugging the charger with adapter into an iPad mini running iOS 6.
I also have a Belkin USB car charger. This came with a black lighting cable. Also worked like a charm until the last update. Now, half the file when I plug it in, no conncetion is registered. The other half of the time, it says this cable is not supported but does not connect my phone or charge it. I've also verified that the cable is working by plugging it into an iPad mini running iOS 6.

I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

How to have Itunes auto Sync after the podcast auto download? (for iphone 3gs- but I think it can be iphones in general)

I want to have itunes download the podcast first and then sync to my iphone automatically. It is in the reversed order, so I have to manual sync again after the auto downloads. How can I do this? Thank you

Contact the seller because the iPhone seems to be not unlocked. Only
the Carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it. If it is an AT&T
iPhone, return it or sell it because AT&T will not unlock for anyone
for any reason.

Remote no longer works correctly after the latest Apple TV Update

I hope someone can help.
I have the latest Apple TV, purchased this year, and the update that was just released really messed things up in using a remote control. I've tried with both the original apple remote and my Harmony multi remote.
I can unpair/pair fine with either, but navigation just plain doesn't work. I press the down arrow, it may not move at all, it may scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen, or anywhere in between. I press the select button, the icon on screen may do nothing, it may start to wiggle, or it may actually select it. Sometimes double clicking the select works as a single click.
After a lot of play around to get it to do what i want, i was able to do a full restore to factory, but that didn't change anything with the remote and now i cannot join the home sharing because the remote wont work well enough, so i can't use the iphone app.
As I said, I tried a full restore to factory, powering the Apple TV off, 2 different remotes, nothing works, help!!!!!
I have a pretty big iTunes Anime collection and I want to watch it!
I have an older Apple TV, but I'm afraid to even plug that in if the update is bad.

Sounds very odd - could be a hardware issue rather than software if more than 1 remote is affected. Strangely though some of my older white remotes seem to have beome very poorly responsive recently and I've replaced batteries in them only a few weeks ago, I think their keys are failing though.
If you have a recent iPhone this might help asssuming the bad AppleTV is an AppleTV 3:

Safari no longer works after the 10.5.3 Update.

I'm apparently having the same problem with Safari that I've noticed many other people on here are having.
When I try to open Safari after having installed the 10.5.3 Update it goes straight to "Application Not Responding" and I have to force it to quit.
So I figured a fresh Safari 3.1.1. install would do the trick. However, when I try to install that it tells me "You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer." at the select a destination step.
I haven't been able to solve my problem through the things I read in any of the other similar threads. Help?

A bit of a puzzler there. The button to create a new thread is *not in Safari, it's on the forum page.* (Not the Categories page, a bunch of folders, a level too far back.)

My iTunes will not install the latest 12.0 update

Okay, I'll start from the beginning.
I wanted to put a load of my own songs onto my iPhone 4s, but it came up with the box "iPhone won't work unless latest update is performed" or something of the sort. So as you do I went to download the latest update which is 12.0 I think, it downloaded fine it was just when it came to the installation that at the very end it failed and came up with an error box saying try doing it manually, although it didn't give me any indication as to what the error actually is. I tried doing it manually and the same thing happened again. So I've tried god knows how many times to resolve this, but nothing I do works, I've tried; Unistalling iTunes and everything that installs with it, restarting my laptop, temporarily uninstalling my anti virus to see if it was blocking me installing iTunes, but no matter what I try nothing will let me update to the latest iTunes so I can sync my phone!! Please help me guys

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Airport Extreme-won't connect after the latest Apple software update

My iBook will no longer connect to the wi-fi provider at our marina since the last two security updates to 10.3.
The iBook works just fine with all other wi-fi signals in fact pulls in one that's a half mile away! Yet, it will not connect nor show signal strength with this one wi-fi provider. They haven't changed their signal and it occured immediately after I installed the latest software updates.
When I shut down the computer today, for just a moment, a message flashed "should I grant permission to allow the marina wi-fi to connect". But it was gone before I could "click" on the button. Haven't been able to get that message again. I've tried to re-connect via "Other" and keying in the wi-fi system name and password but no luck.
How can I restore my connection to this wi-fi?
Thanks,
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Airport Extreme
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had this issue last month after upgrading Quicktime and downloading a security upgrade. For some reason (which Apple couldn't derive), the upgrades for their products screwed up my Keychain, and the only way to fix it was to reset my Keychain. Like you, I run 10.3.9, and this happened with two different upgrades on both my iBook and my iMac.
The reset process is as follows:
Go to Keychain Access in Utilities
Access Keychain First Aid (under Window menu)
Choose Options
Choose "Reset Keychain"
What a pain...I've stopped downloading upgrades from Apple until this gets resolved. Of course, that's not a good "solution" either.

SWFobject does not work with the latest flash player update in IE

So I get an installer show up this morning for the new flash
player after installation and testing of my site. It appears
SWFobject is not working in IE anymore. But it still works fine in
everything else.
What the hell is going on!?

This is tested on sites using both swfObject and the Adobe

He is right. I am a Web designer and after a windows update
tonight all pages using swfobject stopped working unless I add the

even rendered a major site like www.fox.com unusable in IE7.
