  • TS1331 I cannot install/remove iTunes onto my laptop with the same "VBScript" message.

    I have a iPod touch and would like to sync to my laptop. The iTune on my laptop has iTunes7 so would like to upgrade iTunes to the latest.
    Then I had a problem to install the latest iTunes onto Windows Vista, and haven't been able to complete, inturrupted by a message "iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, reregister VBScript, and then install iTunes.".
    So I tried uninstallation, by following this instruction but still cannot do it, intrrupted by the same message.
    What can I do next?

    Check your mac's Serial Number.
    Some people have problems with missing serial numbers on their Macs and that's the message you get when this happens.
    Click on the Apple at the top left of the screen, open "About this Mac" and click on "More Info". You should see a list with information about your Macbook Air. Check that on the Serial Number field you have your Mac's Serial. If you have "SystemSerial#" written instead then that's your problem.
    You can re-enter your serial number if you have a USB CD drive, it's not very straightforward but I can walk you through it if you need it.
    Cheers

  • Cannot shut down the computer !

    I cannot shut down my computer after I click Apple menu>shut down>>shut down again. Then got no response for a while, prompt out "Logout has timed out because the application Finder failed to quit. To try again, quit Finder and choose Log Out from Apple menu." But I have already close Finder by clicking the RED button on top left corner. From the Finder pull down menu, I cannot find the "Quit" command. When I click Apple Menu again and click Force Quit, it prompt out a small window and ask to Re-launch Finder, or Cancel. If I click cancel, nothing happen, if I click re-launch, it flash and keep asking Re-launch. What's happened to my computer? Anyone can help ?

    This is a problem that I've been having with the two IMacs our office uses. It doesn't happen every time, which makes it even more difficult to troubleshoot.
    What happens is the computer goes into shutdown(or logging out) mode, hangs for awhile, then the desktop just comes back on. Often there will be an error message saying something like "Logout timed out due to failure of Safari to quit." And sometimes it will list a different application. But, in all instances, there ARE no applications open. When I launch the Activity Monitor, it confirms that there are no hidden apps running anywhere. It just won't shut down or log out. At that point, you have to force power down with the power button, which is not a healthy way to shut down on a regular basis.
    I've run disk utility and permissions repair off the system disk. I've zapped the PRAM. My latest attempt has been to reset the SMC, so I will have to monitor it to see if it did the trick.
    I'm sure that if I called Applecare at this point that they would tell me to archive and install. But that is a bit drastic a step and isn't really troubleshooting. Not when it will take considerable time to reconfigure these machines for uncertain results. Since A.) the IMacs were right out of the box when this problem began and B.) the MacPros and MacBooks that run the same OS and the same software DO NOT experience a similar problem, I suspect it wouldn't resolve the issue.
    I just want to exhaust all other possibilities before taking the archive and install step, because you always end up losing prefs from third party software, etc...
    Has anyone else experienced this problem before???

  • Impossible to shut down iTunes

    Its impossible to stop iTunes, not even when I force iTunes to do so. So I cannot shut down my Mac (Lion)  in a normal way and have to use the startbutton to close down. What to do?
    (once in a while iTunes does what I want but that is indeed once in a while)

    Please read the warranty paperwork that came w/your computer.

    You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems & your concerns. It's what you paid them to do.

  • When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes.  Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

    When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes.  Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

    OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
    Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

  • Mail won't open or quit so I cannot shut down my computer.Mail won't open or quit. computer won't shut down as a result

    Mail wont open or quit so I cannot shut down my computer

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, select that application, and press the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

  • I have Windows 7. When I try to print an album cover on a CD I burned, I get an error message that  there is a problem and it shuts down iTunes and says will notify me once the problem is fixed

    I have iTunes version 11.3.1.2 and a Windows 7 Professional aith Service Pack 1.  When I try to print a CD cover from a disc I burned, I get an error message that stops the printing task and shuts down iTunes and tells me once the problem is found they will notify me.  When this happened before I got sent a message from Apple that I needed to install a new verion of iTunes.  I believe I now have the latest iTunes version.  So why can't I print?
    Is this the problem below?  Does the graphics driver cause the problem?
    Solve a problem with NVIDIA Graphics Driver
    NVIDIA Graphics Driver has stopped working properly.
    A driver update, if available, might prevent this problem from recurring.

    Try a different media. I have good luck using Maxell discs.

  • Data Execution Prevention shutting down iTunes even with exception added

    Well, was having this problem, it miraculously fixed itself for like a day but now it is happening again. Data Exectuion Prevention for Windows keeps shutting down iTunes. I have gone into the DEP settings and added an exception for it to not apply to iTunes but it is still happening every time I open iTunes. Today I downloaded and installed the new version of iTunes, hoping that would make a difference, but it is still happening. Also, since I installed that version about an hour ago, iTunes keeps opening itself without me telling it to--every five minutes I see it opening without me doing anything and then immediately being closed by DEP. I am getting very frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes.  I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all).  On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes.  So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now).

  • HT201413 Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes

    Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes?

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • Cannot shut down restart or log out

    Hi,
    My new macbook pro cannot shut down restart or log out. When click shut down restart or log out. it does NOTHING. no screen comes out, no window telling me that an application is stopping the shut down, just nothing. After I try several times to shut down, I can continue using my macbook normally as if I didnt try to shut down at all. What should I do? What is wrong?

    What happens when you press the power button? It should bring up a dialog box asking if you want to Restart, Sleep, Cancel, or Shutdown.
    Also, try it from the terminal prompt. The Terminal application is in the Utilities folder. The Utilities folder is in the Applications folder.
    Once you've launched Terminal, type:
    sudo shutdown -r now
    Enter your login password when prompted.
    This should initiate a reboot.

    This will fix it.  It's from another conversation.  Sony Singh posted this.
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
