HT2311 Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8.

Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Have rolled back a couple of versions and same problem. iTunes seems to open but all functions are greyed out and must force quit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. On a couple of occasions have had options available, but once selected it hangs, and then all is greyed out and must force quit. Incidentally going directly to a song (before running iTunes) will open iTunes and play, but all options are still greyed out.

It could be corrupted preference files, or a corrupted library file. You could try dragging the preference and iTunes library files to your desktop, launching iTunes, and see if the functions will then work. Your songs will of course be missing, but if that fixes the problem, you can put the files back one by one and see which causes the problem. If it's just a preference file, just trash the file and reset your preferences. If it's the library, post back and we can help you rebuild.
Regards.

I am unable to get my decently new Imac to recognize or charge my brand new ipod nano. I have tried to restart my computer and the ipod, neither have worked. Running itunes 10.7. Please help.

Can you see your device being connected to your iMac in the System Profiler?
Although this is not an iPod touch, try these suggestions as well:

hi i am unable to get itunes match on my laptop but is ok on my ipad this has already been purchased from apple

There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

Unable to get PAGE_COUNT working

I am a new Xserve user and I have been unable to get PAGE_COUNT working despite the fact that SSI and other environmental variables are functioning for me. Does anybody know what additional settings are required for PAGE_COUNT? Do I need to initiate a count file or file location?
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.9)

This is still unresolved so I hope this additional information will enable somebody to tell me how to fix it. I have used a QPQ server for over 10 years and am now moving all sites to Apache (1.3) on an Xserve. Everything appears to work OK except for PAGE_COUNT. All pages are parsed and most pages contain:


The date displays as expected but the hit counter only shows '(none)'.
What have I done wrong or failed to do? Could moving the site root have caused a glitch? Where does Apache store the page counts?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get iTunes working?

When I upgraded to iTunes 10, every time I tried to open iTunes it would give me an "Error 7: iTunes not properly installed" message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and restarting my computer multiple times. Finally, I went through my programs list and uninstalled all of the Apple software (QuickTime, Application Support, etc.) Then I reinstalled iTunes again.
Now when I open iTunes, I get an "Error 2: Apple Application Support not found" message. I tried extracting the iTunesSetup.exe to a new folder and installing the AppleApplicationsSupport.msi file separately, but the installation gets partway through and gives me a "Cannot access Key (block of gibberish) Ensure you have access to key..." message and the installation fails. I'm logged into an Administrator Account, the same account that I used to install iTunes 9, so this doesn't make much sense to me.
What can I do to get iTunes working? I really need help.

Those are unpleasant ones, usually striking 64-bit systems. They're not easy to troubleshoot, but the following set of instructions is a good place to start:

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
states this app unable to run on this PC

Hello jgrn76,
It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

PLEASE HELP ME??? Lost itunes trying to downgrade back from 11.0 & unable to get itunes to work at all now..

New Itunes setup is the worst one yet!!! I couldn't stand it, so I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling older versions, but now I am unable to get it to work in any version. I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times (trying this with multiple versions). Strange thing is that ever since I uninstalled 11.0 I have not been able to get any of the other versions to open at all.. Sometimes an error message box dings & pops up that says something about how to adjust the volume through your itunes, or unable to open file.. other times when I click on the icon it just does absolutely nothing. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??? I'm going crazy without my music & I am panicking because I am afraid I may have lost all music (I have thousands & thousands of songs on there).. I'm hoping to find a way to reinstall an older version, but at this point if I can't find a way to bring back the old version, I'll take 11.0 if I absolutely have to (meaning if it's the only way to retrieve itunes without losing my entire library)

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

Unable to get iTunes match setup to complete

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match but have been unable to successfully complete the setup process. I have read many other posts regarding initial matching troublingshooting and tried the following:
-Sign in and out of iTunes Store
-Disable and re-enable iTunes Match
-Disable Genius
-Delete any songs that made it to iCloud and start over with zero songs in iCloud
-Creating new blank iTunes library and match, then import songs and match again
I've spent a week trying all of these things, and am pretty convinced the service won't work for me and will seek a refund from Apple, but thought as a last ditch attempt I'd see if anyone had any recommendations I hadn't considered before I try the Google Play cloud music service.
When I start iTunes Match it takes a few hours to gather information about my library, a few minutes on subsequent attempts, but never a few seconds.
The matching step never truly completes. It most frequently freezes at about 16,000/18,000 songs matched causing me to start everything over (including all the nonsense signing in and out, etc. noted above). Occasionally it will appear as if it finished, the progress bar complete, saying all 18,000 songs matched and begin uploading unmatched songs. I've only reached this step about three times in probably 50 attempts at iTunes Match this week. On each of those occasions, the process completely freezes during upload after 100 songs or so. I only have about 2000 songs to upload so thought by 'rinsing and repeating' I'd eventually get there, but since the entire process only makes it to the upload step about 5% of the time, instead of 20 attempts it seems like it's going to take a few hundred, which I don't have the patience for. Also important to note that even after it makes it to the final upload step and successfully uploads ~100 songs before freezing, when I start over again, it always has to re-match 2,000-3,000 songs, so Step 2 takes a couple hours before uploads begin again.
iTunes has matched those 2,000-3,000 songs in my library dozens of times now, and never remembers, I'm not adding anything new to my library. I also have received the following error a number of times, probably about 5% of the time:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9838).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
Appreciate any suggestions before I throw in the towel. The idea of iTunes Match is great, but as I've been searching for troubleshooting help it's become clear a LOT of people have similar problems and the quality of the service is quite poor.

No! Don't plug in your iPod yet!
Oh good grief, I hope you didn't delete your music, KC! Are you sure it's not still there on your hard drive? Search for files named "mp3" or "m4p".
Anyway - here is a post by Buegie on getting songs off your iPod, if the music is truly gone from your PC.

Unable to get FaceTime working, Unable to get FaceTime working

Recently purchased a new imac which comes with facetime.

It is an Apple server issue, wait 24 hours.

Several applications including Settings open and close immediately, unable to get iTunes to install an update

While traveling in China, I was unable to get latest iTunes download an update to 4.3.2 (after download is compoleted, is starts processing and says network timed out, without any clear reason) I can download the file separately for an older version without using iTunes fine.
I have a hunch that the multitude of emails flying in my account is causing trouble, since Mail is one of the apps closing immediately. But I cannot use settings to combat Mail problems.... Anyone any idea???
Henk

The "Network timed out " may be a firewall or antivirus on the computer.
For the apps closing, try the following:
stop all running apps:
Double-click the Home button. Hold an icon in the bottom row until the minus sign shows, then touch all minus signs to close all apps.
Then Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.

Unable to get translation working with XML bursting

Hi All,
I am working on bursting an XML report using the DocumentProcessor API in an EBS environment. The XML publisher report has .xlf translation for Dutch Netherlands (nl-NL). The report works fine when printing through the EBS using the nl-NL locale. But however if I try to set the locale in the bursting and try to print the XML publisher report it is printing only in American English (Main translatable template's locale). Below is my bursting code
try {
DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor("/usr/tmp/SampleControlFile2.xml", strDataSource, "/usr/tmp");
dp.registerListener(this); //Set the listener
System.out.println(strDataSource);
System.out.println("xdo://"+strAppcode+"."+strTemplateCode+"."+strLang+"."+strLocale+"?getSource=true");
Properties prop = new Properties(); //Add properties and variables//
//updating these property as per environment//
//prop.put("user-variable:TEMPLATE", "xdo://"+strAppcode+"."+strTemplateCode+"."+strLang+"."+strLocale+"?getSource=true");
prop.put("user-variable:TEMPLATE", "xdo://"+strAppcode+"."+strTemplateCode+"."+"en"+"."+"US"+"?getSource=true");
prop.put("user-variable:cp:territory", "NL");
prop.put("user-variable:cp:language", "nl");
prop.put("user-variable:cp:locale", "nl-NL");
prop.put("burstng-source", "EBS");
prop.put("user-variable.OA_MEDIA", "<MEDIA DIR>");
dp.setConfig(prop);
dp.process();
//dp.deletTemporaryOutputFiles();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Unable to get imessage working, comes up green instead of blue

I'm uable to get imessage working, text comes up green instead of blue. I have my setting, message, imessage turned on. What am I doing wrong?

Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked.
