I can't open quicktime or iTunes, help!
When I try to open quicktime or iTunes, the little black arrow appears for a few seconds under the icon on my dock and then it says "The application Quicktime/ iTunes quit unexpectedly". I've had several mac problems and I'm getting VERY frustrated. PLEASE HELP.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Start with repairing permissions and restart then see how that goes.

New PC user can't open Quicktime. Please help
Greetings.
I use a Mac desktop and bought a PC laptop for school. I installed Quicktime and, when it opens, a small QT window flashes on the screen briefly, then disappears. QT shows on the menu bar at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried the workaround (run with different credentials) but no success.
I'm new at PC and PC commands; if you have suggestions and can walk me through, I'd appreciate it.+a small QT window flashes on the screen briefly, then disappears.+
Doublechecking something ... is that a "Switching" screen?
If so, and you're getting no error messages whatsoever, then you might have a Qoologic adware infestation. (If so, it's actually the first one I've seen for a while.)
The free trial version of AVG Antispyware (formerly "Ewido") did a nice job of cleaning it up when it was a more common problem. However, Grisoft appears to have changed around their product line, and the free trial version of AVG Antispyware may now be incorporated into their free trial version of AVG Antivirus:

... so perhaps try downloading that, seeing if it picks up a Qoologic infection, and uninstalling it afterwards. -

Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!
What arrow?
Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.

I can't download Quicktime Pro? HELP!! I have Quicktime viewer 7.5 and just bought the download for Quicktime Pro upgrade.
But the "Control Panel" window they tell me to look for can't be found. All I can do is open my Quicktime Player 7.5 window, and it doesn't offer the tabs in the instructions.http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!
How old is your son?
Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

I am trying to scan document that I will then attach in an email. When I attach it it shows up as a picture within the email instead of an attachment an people can't open it. Any help here?
What kind of Mac are you using, and what version of the operating system?
You should be able to select the document that you want to attach and then use the contextual menu (right click in some worlds) to compress the document, producing a .zip file. You can then attach that to the email and it won't appear as a picture within the email.
If I recall this correctly, the "compress" part in the contextual menu may have a different terminology. -

"You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
Yesterday, Software Updater has installed something which required me to "close iTunes in order to complete the installation" - I can only assume it was an iTunes (or related) update?
Now when I try to open iTunes, a window appears, stating: "you can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac".
I have a Macbook (late 08) and am running 10.6.8
I'm conscientious about keeping my software & apps up to date, so it should only be something very recent & I assume fairly minor...
Any ideas??To anyone else who may have experienced this problem (I doubt that I'd be the only one):
Over the past couple of days I have left my Macbook sitting idle for extended periods, put it to sleep, & also shut it down.
This morning I tried to reinstall the same download that didn't work a couple of days ago & it has been recognised, installed & seems to run just fine - playing right now I'm happy to say!
I suggest you try doing the same: ie. leave your machine sitting idle till it sleeps & shut it down, before you try the reinstall. -
I am trying to open up my iTunes from my iMac. It says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." What do I do? I've already force closed all other apps.
Well, obviously the problem isn't with the other apps, it's with the type of Mac you have. What type of Mac do you have?

Can't open the application "iTunes" because it may be damaged or incomplete
Out of the blue today, iTunes showed up with a gray X over the icon in the dock, and when I try to open it, I am told, "You can't open the application "itunes" because it may be damaged or incomplete. I've looked around for ways to reinstall or repair itunes, but only come up with solutions for PC, but nothing for mac. Thank you!
Perhaps try updating to version 11.1.5.5, using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

Can't open QuickTime after trying to install update 7.4
I've tried to update my Quicktime Software to the 7.4 that keeps popping up on my software update. After it loads, verifies, and goes to install I receive the notice the Quicktime can't be installed. an unexpected error occurred and the installer package has been moved to the Trash. It tells me to try again, open the package from the finder... besides not being able to install the update, now I can't open QuickTime at all. Ideas?
To The Apple Discussion Boards!
Repair permissions & restart your computer.
Install QT again either from the Software Update control panel or download the full installer directly from QT download site.
After you install QT, repair permissions & restart again. -

After installing icloud, I can't open Photoshop CS, please help. I am an artist and need photoshop to work.
Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that). -
I can not open iphoto and itune anymore
anyone knows why i can not open iphoto and itune anymore/
I have rerun the applications install dvd, but it has not corrected the fault. When I try to open iphoto's I have an error message that says You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
Peter,
the version you installed from the DVD is probably older than the version you used last with your library, so you need to update to the last version you used.
I have tried to update to the latest iphoto 11 but it wont download. Any answers please.
Where are you trying to download from? When you upgrade a version that is installed from the DVD, you need to update from the Software Update menu entry in the Apple-menu.
Also, iPhoto has to be called simply "iPhoto", not iPhoto '11 or something similar and to be installed in the Applications folder. Otherwise it will not be recognised by the updater.
Regards
