I cannot install updates on my macbook and itunes no longer works.

I have a macbook that is 3-4 years old. Recently it stopped booting up at all, however was able to restore using original discs. However, my itunes doesn't work and I cannot install any updates at all. I can download the updates from apple, however, once finished it won't install. The installer utility pops up onthe task bar for about 1 second then disappears. I get no error messages or anything. Same thing for when I try to open itunes...the icon bounces once on the taskbar, but nothing opens. Nothing happens. I think the hard drive may be going bad. Can anybody help me with this?

If that was the only machine you've installed it on, just throw the disks in the new machine and install away. All of Adobe's CS and CC software licensing allows you to have it installed on two machines.
If it's older CS software, you would need to install it on the same kind of OS (Mac or PC), but CC software doesn't have that limitation. If you're a CC subscriber, just download the CC Desktop App and install from there no matter which OS you have.
If you get a "Maximum Activations Reached" error, you'll need to call Adobe to have them clear that issue up if the old computer is completely un-salvageable. If you can still fire it up, just open DW on the old machine and choose Help > Deactivate before installing on the new machine.

IMovie, Garageband, iPhoto and iTunes no longer working together.

I have seen several variations of this issue but NO solutions.
I work with iMovie almost every day; up until a month ago, all four (iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto and iTunes) worked together perfectly.
iMovie no longer asks to make thumbnails of the videos in iPhoto when opening iMovie.
When opening the iphoto media browser, I am told to open iPhoto..
When opening the itunes media browser in iMovie, I get the same message "open itunes..."
I have opened those apps and iMovie is not recognizing that they are open.
Garageband no longer recognizes iTunes - again, I am getting the message to "open iTunes";
Last night I discovered that iTunes no longer offers me the option of syncing selected iPhoto albums to my iPhone and iPad; the only option I have is to sych my entire iPhoto Library file.
I have posted these issues in iMovie and iPhoto forums and always am given a workaround but no solution; or I am told to ask the quesiton in another forum. I am posting THIS in all of the forums, so please do not suggest that I need to go to another forum.
I have searched all similar threads and found others who are having the same issue but seem to never be given a solution.
I have found temporary work arounds (exporting photos from iPhoto as slideshows and then importing them into iMovie; creating a Loop in Garageband which I export to iTunes to my "playlist" which is THEN recognized by Garageband and can be used in iMovie.
Any help for this will be greatly appreciated.

Try the following:
Delete the following two preference files from your Home/Library/Preferences folder:
com.apple.iApps.plist
com.apple.iApps.lockfile
Launch iPhoto and then iMovie and check the Media Browser again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I've updated all my software and iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I went to open iTunes it tells me it's either corrupted or not installed correctly and to reinstall it. Is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling the whole program?

I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto.

I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto. It keeps telling me "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it." The thing is, I am logged into the only Apple ID account that I have.
What do I need to do to fix this?
I have a MacBook Pro, with a Retina Display.

No I did not. These apps came with the MacBook Pro I recently purchased. I merely logged into the AppStore and checked for updates. Updates for iMovie and iPhoto both showed up and I clicked on update all and I got the message "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."

I am using Acrobat XI Pro and tried to install the current update. I got this error message: "Error 1328.Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp It has probably been updated by other means1 and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor." tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still get the error. Searched for C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp and cannot find the path or the file

For AA XI, you only need the 11.0.09 patch. Download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (Use "MAC" if a MAC is used).

Cannot Install CS6 on my MacBook Pro.

I cannot install CS6 on my Macbook Pro.
It says to re-install but I can't un-install and some components may be missing.
Error Code: 1
Please help, in desperate need.

What Mac? What version of OSX? Exit code 1 basically means that your system is not compatible at all. As a start, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again - assuming you are on a supported system.

Firefox tries to install update then says cannot install update because you have to close another Firefox window, repeats every minute. Doesn't stop.

Update cannot install, says I must close any other Firefox window. (No other window open ) Cannot install update because another Firedox window is open.Since a recent update occured, You Tube videos flicker and browser favorites flicker. There is a flash card speed adjustment. The Flash Player and Firefox is not in sync.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
Do a clean reinstall:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

We're sorry.

Hello
My system version 10.5.8
I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
"Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
I then tried the following experimental steps:
a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
Guys, please solve the problem

There are many threads on this. I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Uninstalling+tastyapps&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have. Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

After the last update iTunes no longer works... "This application failed to start because MSVCF80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" I tried and it did not fix the problem?
