I bought a imac from someone and when ever i try to open a .exe file it wont open its says "choose from the fallowing programs to open " what should i do now

what should i do now plz hel;p

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Macs use OS X, which is an operating system different than Windows. EXE files are designed to work in Windows, so it's normal that you can't run them.
If it's a program, you can try an application like CrossOver that allows you to install Windows applications in OS X. However, note that it doesn't always work correctly, so the best option is to run Windows in your Mac.
To decide if you need Windows on Boot Camp or virtual machine, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321
If you need a virtual machine, install an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and create a virtual machine to install Windows.
If you need Boot Camp, first see which operating systems you can install > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634 Then, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow its steps. Follow Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

To give you something, I need something too, like
How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
What do you see on the iPod screen?
My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!

HT5037 when I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... what should i do now?

When I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... Then when I click on the iphoto again i get the same message "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."'
What should I do?

The upgraded is only necessary for libraries created with iPhoto '07 or eearlier. Just double click the library to open it in iPhoto, and let it upgrade, if it has been created by a newr version.

Hi there,
Dear Aaliyan, I think you have to connect with VPN. It may help you.
Do not forget the power of restart! ;-)
Otherwise I think you have to wait for new update, maybe 7.2

Hi,
i had same issue some years back. sure my operator was different from yours. unfortunatly some of these 3rd party products dont spend much effort on a mac. My one had half a dozent programs, for each version of OSX one. When i called them up the gave me the correct version which worked. You may have not the right one. May try first the MAC and ensure it works fine without the card and that software.

HT1459 I tried to restore my daughters ipod and it has a download on the itunes. I tried to open the download and that did not work. Her ipod is still disabled after the 5 hour download. What should I do now? Thank you. Sam

My daughters iPod is now disabled because of my youngest daughter trying to get on it while away. I tried to restore it as per instructions via support site. It took 5 hours to do the download. I left it over night and in the morning I found the iPod still disabled. I have a download on iTunes so I tried to click on that and it won't open. I have to admit, I am not a computer wizz here. Could someone possible direct me to what I should do now? Thank you.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Itunes just asked me to do another update yesterday. But it's still not working. when ever i try to sync music to my ipod touch it keeps saying itunes is not responding and it freezes. Itunes please fix this problem!!!!!:-(

Itunes still is not working correctly. There was a software update that i received yesterday and i figured it would fix the problem with itunes not responding, but it didn't. It's still doing the same thing. I'm getting kinda annoyed cause i use itunes as my main music player so please help me fix this software issue thanks!

Hi Batman1981,
It sounds like you may be describing an issue where a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows is conflicting with iTunes and it's related components. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides suggestions that may resolve the issue.
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4123
You may notice the following symptoms on your Windows PC after installing the iCloud Control Panel, iTunes 10.5 or later, or Safari 5.1 or later:
iTunes is slow to respond.
Windows is slow to respond.
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Using CS4 and when ever I try to add footage- RAM PREVIEW ERROR: need 2 or more frames to playback"

Basically what it says in the title.
Every other thing i've ever done on here has never caused me any grief, now i'm met with this message as i'm starting to get into video editing. Need help asap.

Just as a side note, the program I use to convert things (handbrake) doesn't have those options for audios (the ones stated on that link) Where can I find a program, or the downloadable codec's,
thanks in advance -- EDIT
Err, actually removing the sound altogether did absolutely nothing - nor did any of the other suggestions... I'm confused

I downloaded GarageBand to Ipad2 for $4.99 and worked fine. When I updated Ipad2 to Iso5 it automatically took Garageband off my iPad2 and downloaded it to my Iphone4. So I removed it from iPhone4 and when I go to download again at app store onto my IPad

I downloaded GarageBand to Ipad2 for $4.99 and worked fine. When I updated Ipad2 to Iso5 it automatically took Garageband off my iPad2 and downloaded it to my Iphone4. So I removed it from iPhone4 and when I go to download again at app store onto my IPad it says it is downloaded but when searching for icon on Ipad2, it won't show up at all. I have tried hard reset and all. Help!!!

I'm not sure, but you might get better luck posting the same question in the iPad forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad

I've downloaded the 5.0 update and not all the new features are there. Just the news stand, reminders and videos. I double checked on the update and it says it's up to date. What should I do now?

I've downloaded the new 5.0 update and not all the new features are there. Just the newsstand, reminders and videos icons plus icloud. Everything else is the same as before. What should I do now? It says I have the latest update. ???

Hummmm, you might not be missing anything... From what I understand, really the only new visible add-on apps type programs are Newstand and Reminders. The Notification Center seems to be about how your info and alerts are pushed to your screen and you control that thru the phone settings>General>Notifications, the panel is accessed by swiping downward from the top of your screen. Weird I know, should be more obvious. Enjoy!
Don't forget, you can now use the volume button on the side of your phone to take photos. I really like this!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Ask them for a refund for a device which is not fit for purpose, if they refuse contact a solicitor or seek advice from other consumer organisations that may be available to you in your area.
