How to start iTunes in XP? "safe mode" produces: "A rental is being transferred..."

iTunes does not become visible.  Task Manager shows it has started (in Processes).  Trying "safe Mode" only comes up with the message:
"A rental is being transferred. If you quit now, the transfer will be cancelled. Are you sure you want to quit?"
and there is no "Continue" button.  I'm trying to run itunes for the 1st time after installing it (from iTunesSetup.exe  v.11.0.2.26).  I'm not ready for any "rental".

Hello jjfirefox77
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
thank you

  • How to start Windows 7 in safe mode with bootcamp?

    So my computer had a crash this afternoon in Win7 (it happened before, but still...) and tried to reboot my MBP.
    I pressed Alt, selected my Win7 partition, and that was it... No Safe mode selection screen, no Windows Logo
    showing it's booting properly, just a black screen...
    Anyone had something similar? And most importantly, how can this be fixed?

    Steps:
    1-Open command prompt with admin mode
    Or Boot from DVD in command prompt mode.(This is what i experienced, able to show the safe mode menu)
    2- Write this command "bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" and click enter
    3- You can now press F8 while Windows 8 starts in order to access Safe Mode and other Advanced Boot options.

  • HT203175 I can not start itunes or in safe mode?

    Itunes will not open.  I have tried in regular mode and in safe mode and I keep getting the same message.  I am running in windows xp.  I have tried following the troubleshooting tips but have gotten no farther.

    Note that Install DVDs are model specific so you can only use one from a MBP that is the exact model as yours.  Otherwise the disk will not work.  Duplicate Leopard disks may be obtained from Apple Customer service.  You will have to provide them with the serial number of the MBP (on the bottom) and there is a charge.
    Based on the symptoms that you describe, your internal HDD has failed and will have to be replaced.

  • Firefox not responding when any button is clicked - including "options" and others needed to start it up in safe mode. How can I fix this?

    I already tried re-installing but - alas - to no avail. As I stated in my questioon already, Firefox (latest version) doesn't react to anything I click, hence why I am not even able to do the troubleshooting at all nor start the browser in safe mode. In addition to this, no websites are being displayed and all I am able to see is a blank page - no matter which website I actually want to view.
    Other browsers work totally fine but due to certain programs, Firefox is necessary and other browsers like Chrome are not an option.

  • I wanted to trouble shoot, put comupter in safe mode , now its stuck , closed FF 3 times, re-started computer, still in safe mode.how do i get out of safe mode

    i wanted to do trouble shooting, i put computer in safe mode & now i can not get out of safe mode. I've closed FF & re-started computer 3 times, even shut down computer, still in safe mode. What do i need to do to get out of safe mode?

    Hi,
    Please see this article: [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
    I hope that helps. Post back if not.
    --Edward
    EDIT: Just noticed that you already rebooted. You say that you "put computer in safe mode". Is firefox in safe mode or your whole computer?
    If '''Firefox''' is stuck in safe mode despite reboot
    * Check that the shift keys on your keyboard are not stuck down.
    * Uninstall firefox and install again (your settings will not be lost as they are stored in your profile folder).
    Let me know if neither of those works.

  • Blue screen on start up, even in safe mode, common fixes not working

    I did quite a bit of searching for the problem I'm having, and it seems some of the symptoms are common, but none of the various fixes I've come across have worked. Any help pointing to other things to try would be appreciated, as it is getting harder to search for things without finding repeats of what I've already tried. Also, I was going to post this on the OSX 10.4 board, but changes in symptoms (mentioned at the end of this post) are starting to make me think this could be a hardware issue.
    The main problem is that my computer boots normally until the blue screen just before the login window should appear, then hangs.
    My system: iBook G4, 800 MHz, running 10.4.11, has an extra GB of RAM installed (for a total of 1.1 GB), new hard drive that is less than a year old.
    Things I've tried:
    Booting in safe mode: No change, still hangs at blue screen.
    Removing airport card, and extra ram has no effect.
    I've done a PRAM reset
    I've done a PSU reset
    Checked for file system and permissions errors with Disk Utility on OS CD
    Booting into single user mode works fine, where I tried:
    fsck -fy, no errors reported
    running /etc/rc worked fine for a while
    No unexpected errors or problems seen in /Library/Logs/Console/501/console.log, or in /var/log/system.log
    I've temporarily moved /Library/Preferences, /Library/Caches, and /System/Library/Caches, /User/Library/Caches, /User/Library/Preferences, /System/Extensions.kextcache and /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb to make sure none of those were corrupted (plus checked preferences with plutil), nothing fixed.
    I've double checked the permissions of the root directory.
    This problem did not follow an update or installation of any kind. The computer just completely locked up in the middle of using Safari (and just typing in an edit box, nothing with much of a workload) and the blue screen hang happened upon rebooting after shutting down by holding down the power button.
    Single user mode appeared to work fine, although I did get single user mode to hang when trying to back up a few GB of files onto a thumbdrive after copying about 90% of the files. And then a new problem came up where afterward, now the blue screen pops up and hangs about 30 seconds after running /etc/rc returns to the prompt (and about 20 seconds after last of it finishes outputting). I've tried clearing caches again but /etc/rc still causes this.
    I was going to try to run AppleJack (recommended for checking permissions and clearing caches) after copying the files to the thumbdrive, but of course didn't think to install that until after I had a problem. And now that /etc/rc causes a problem, I don't know how to attach the AppleJack .dmg file other than hdiutil, which needs the /etc/rc to have been run, and also can't remount the thumbdrive to copy any more files over.
    After this recent problem, I noticed that now booting from the OS CD goes to the blue screen too and no further. Has anyone else seen such a problem? I've heard of some issues with loose GPUs in the iBook G4, but they seem to mention scrambled or no/black video (video looks fine in single user mode and in open firmware, and up to the blue screen which is clear and bright). So now I don't seem to have an option to try an Archive & Install of the OS (which I was hoping to avoid, due to effort needed to reinstall other software).

    Thank you, I had forgotten about target mode. I was able to back up all of my files. I also copied some additional 50 GB of files of the disk as a stress test and the hard drive worked fine and quick (and because it was quicker than retrieving the same files from a network drive to my desktop).
    I was hoping to also unpack the Applejack files on my desktop and put them back so I could run them in single user mode without running /etc/rc. However I haven't been able to get my Linux desktop to mount the iBook in Read-Write instead of Read-Only yet (I don't have access to another Mac at the moment).

  • Can anyone ID this problem? Finder icon started bouncing, unresponsive, now Safe Mode reboot stops 1/3 in and shuts down iMac. Virus?

    This started yesterday. I switch on the computer, go into my User account and the Finder icon was bouncing in the deck while a window flashed on about Restoring Windows though you could never click on it because...it kept flashing. The folders on my desktop disappeared so I went into a secondary user account and opened it to find a virus scan. That user account had no issue with the bouncing Finder icon. I downloaded ClamXav and ran it but that being a rarely used user account, it found nothing infected. I went back in in Safe Mode and was able to see my invisible files but the Finder being unresponsive, I could basically only look at them. Also, I couldn't activate ClamXav after downloading it in that user account. All it did was allow me to see my files.
    This morning, while I switched on the computer the Safe Mode came on without me holding down the Shift key. Sadly, it didn't get past the third of the little progress bar before shutting down the computer. This happened trying to open either user accounts. I'm shut out. I'm so shocked this happened. I called the ISP and he said everything was normal at his end, naturally in spite of a lot of freezing and not allowing more than one device on wifi at a time. This is an upgraded Internet service after moving to a new place. Otherwise for the few moments it lights up to show me the two users at log in, nothing is visually wrong.
    If this has ever happened to anyone, please enlighten me. I've called a Mac repair shop and expect to bring my iMac in. It's barely two years old. : (

  • How do I get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

    I entered Safe Mode in my Envy TS 15 running windows 8.1 to fix some issues with my Norton software and now I can't figure out how to exit back to normal mode.  Internet is shut off in safe mode (even though I selected safe mode with networking) so I can run any of the Help & Support resolutions.  Anyone know how to do this?

  • How do I boot up in safe mode?

    How do I start up in safe mode?

    Restart the computer. At the chime press and hold down the SHIFT key until you see the spinning gear below the Apple Logo. You should also see a progress bar appear. Booting into Safe Mode takes much longer than a normal startup.

  • How to boot your phone into safe mode

    If you experience any problem with your phone, booting it into safe mode can be a good idea to check if any third party applications might be involved in the problem you’re having.
    If you run your phone in safe mode for a while and you don’t experience any problem, the problem you’re having is most likely related to a third party app that you’ve installed.
    How to boot into safe mode differ from models to model and it can also be different depending on firmware version but this topic will explain to you how to do it.
    NOTE!
    Booting into safe mode may change personal UI customizations such as icons and folders.
    Later Xperia phones running on Android Jelly Bean (Android 4.1 or later)
    Press and hold the on/off key until you get this screen.
    Now tap and hold the Power off option until you see this screen.
    Press OK to reboot into safe mode.
    If you have successfully booted into safe mode you will see the text Safe mode in the bottom left corner.
    You can also boot into safe mode by turning off the phone and wait a few seconds. Now press and hold both the on/off and volume down (-) key. Keep pressing these two keys until the phone has booted completely.
    To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.
    Xperia phones using touch menu key running on Android GB (2.3.X) or ICS (4.0.X)
    Turn off your phone.  Wait a few seconds and then turn it on again. Now during the boot process start tapping the menu key continuously and keep tapping until the phone has booted completely. Not too fast, not too slow. The beat of Iron man by Black Sabbath is just right.
    To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.
    Xperia phones using hardware menu key
    Turn off your phone.  Wait a few seconds and then turn in on again. Now during the boot process press and hold the menu key until the phone has booted completely.
    To exit safe mode you simply power off and power on as normal.

  • Blackberry 9800 Torch not starting up or entering Safe mode

    Hi all,
    I am owner of a Blackberry 9800 Torch for about a year and now it does not startup. I turned the phone off last night and this morning it does not start up. I didn't make any changes to the phone so very strange. 
    The behaviour is that when I take the battery out and it turns on, the load screen start but the little white line only starts a little(2mm line) and then it restarts and does the same thing and loop over and over again in this till battery runs out. 
    I have tired to enter Safe mode by holding in the Escape bottom when the load screen starts or when the red light turn off but it does not enter Safe mode.
    Please can anybody advise how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    Are you able to restart your device in safe mode as shown in KB17877?
    I assume, since it's caught in a reboot cycle, when you connect to the Desktop Software it doesn't take a stable connection to reinstall your software?
    If that is case, remove your battery and keep it out when you connect to the Desktop Software. You will get a pop up that the device can't connect and there should be Retry, Update and Cancel buttons. Select Update and you will then be able to reinstall the current device software version.
    When the load is progressing, you will see a step that says "Wait for device initialization". At this point, insert the battery and the reload should complete.

  • My iMac freezes up after starting, works fine in safe mode. What to do?

    Hey,
    I've got an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and a few days ago it froze while playing a game and watching an online video at the same time. When I turned it on the next morning all seemed fine but after half an hour it froze up again while doing the same thing. After this it froze up everytime within minutes of starting up. When it freezes it gives me a light purple, dark or grey screen. No error messages or anything.
    When I start it using safe mode it works just fine.
    I've tried all the usual stuff: resetting RAM, testing hardware and even running it on both my 2 GB RAMS seperately. None of this solved the problem or gave me any clue what to look for.
    I've also tried reinstalling Mac OS X but after a while of showing me the apple and the loading circle it just gives me an empty grey screen.
    Has anyone had similar problems, or advice what to do next?
    Message was edited by: Bobbert87

    Haven't Updated in a while, but at some point I got the thought that it was some sort of monitor problem, so I tested my comp with an extra monitor connected. As it turns out, there are no problems whatsoever when I connect one. It doesn't freeze up! The monitor doesn't even have to be turned on!
    Does anyone have enough knowledge of the technology/system to conclude what the problem with my Imac is?
    Little piece of extra info: The color the screen turns when it freezes seems to be the color in the exact middle of the screen. (Example: Light purple from the default mac background)
