I have been working on this for seven hours straight. And I am cranky.
It is now 3am and I am in tears because I just wasted $240 on a piece of metal that may as well be a flipping coaster. I am running Vista Premium 64-bit. I've installed three different version of iTunes trying to resolve this problem. The only one I could get to even open after installation was supposedly successful is a 7.x version, but even then, my new coaster will not register as an option to sync.
I have scoured these forums and the internet and I did everything I feel comfortable doing. I don't understand what the flipping problem is.....I should be able to download the software that is packaged for my OS and hit the ground running. I don't understand what the heck could be the problem. On my latest install, the drivers aren't even on my system. I'm so frazzled I can't even think what to do next but to uninstall, scrub my registry, and start over again. And when it happens again, what then?
Why isn't iTunes installing the drivers? Why won't it OPEN? Why doesn't Apple seem to give a crap about their PC using customers? I'll be damned if I will ever switch to a Mac after having this horrible Apple experience-if this crap is what they subject us to, why the heck would I ever put my computing needs in their hands?
The device is not showing up in My Computer, though it does show up under the USB device panel, and the drivers claim to be working properly. It will charge when plugged in; not sure if that means anything at all.
I did try the steps in that article anyway to be sure, and there is no drive letter to change since the device is not in the list of discs. Thanks for your suggestion, though.
My task manager does show that the process is running, but I am unable to access it-the window does not appear, and I've let the laptop sit for hours on the off chance that launch was simply delayed. When I try to end the process it appears to hang and sometimes will not close at all.
I've reinstalled and attempted to launch without my firewall/antivirus running. I've tried running in compatibility mode and switched it back, with worse results in comp. mode and back to square one when switched back. I've made sure SmartCard is as it should be, thought I don't know what it actually does, lol. I've checked that Quicktime works, and I believe it does, but it says loading forever-however I am still able to browse to media files and open them while it says loading.
It's all so very odd. I'm off to uninstall/reinstall again I suppose. shrug Hopefully at some point they will put out an iTunes for Vista 64-bit that will work without a Herculean effort on their customers' parts.

Hello, I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out. Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible. I have a Match subscription and Match is working. If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them. I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
ThanksI did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

Itunes updated on my pc and laptop and now I cannot open the program on either one. Running Windows 7 on both. Error number 7 and R6034 continue to pop up. I have uninstalled (6 times) all of the Apple programs, rebooted, reinstalled, etc. as badgerfan1101 posted but cannot open it on either computer. I even did a restore to an earlier date with hopes that would solve the problem. Any other ideas? Been working on this for 4 hours
Hey gardenqueen1,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,

I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -
Ok, I'm now getting really annoyed with downloading Mountain Lion. I left my Mac Book Pro - 6 month old in download mode all night and nothing! I have started again and in 5 hours about 5%!
What is going on - Apple is this good customer service?It could be your Internet connection and not the Apple servers. I downloaded it again (although I already had the GM developer version) over a very slow Internet connection and it took about 3 1/2 hours. You can always pause and then resume the download - Lauchpad will let you know how your download is proceeding.

My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone. No record of it at all. Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there. Other projects are still there. Any way to restore it? Thanks.
I figured it out!!!
Hey guys! Here's what I did that saved my project.
-SHORT VERSION-
Use the Finder window on your Mac to copy and paste your old project (the one not showing up in imovie) to a new folder so that iMovie will see it.
-LONG VERSION-
CONDITIONS:
The project has to exist on your hard drive. To see if it's hiding around somewhere go to:
Home (your name)>Movies>iMovie Library (right click and select Show Package Contents)
In the iMovie Library folder (the default is usually the date) open it to see if your Project is inside. If it is, you are in luck!
RESTORING PROJECT:
Open iMovie
start a new folder under the iMovie Library (again, the default is usually todays date)
Close iMovie
In the finder window (as explained above in the CONDITIONS section) select the files and folders of your project and copy them (in my case these consist of folders called Analysis Files, Original Media, "MYPROJECT", Render Files, Shared Items)
There should now be a folder with today's date in that Show Package Contents folder.
Paste a copy of your project;s files into this folder.
When it is done copying, open up the "Original Media" folder and all of your images and clips should be present.
reopen iMovie. Your project should show up in the Libraries list.
*If your full project isn't showing in the iMovie timeline (mine just had empty bubbles where all my clips and audio should be) try dragging and dropping the clips and images from the project's "Original Media" folder into the import section of your project. Once the files were reimported, iMovie recognized them all and put them back in the correct place for me.
Hope this helps someone! -
I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise
They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8 -

Ugh. How do I get iCloud on my iPhone? I have been using my iPhone for about a year and I have an iCloud account but it is useless since nothing syncs to nothing else. Obviously I don't know what I am doing.

" I have been in the preferences extensively and i keep updating it to go to to new location"
Apple does a poor job of documenting/explaining this setting - the iTunes Media folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced doesn't tell iTunes where to find the content of your library. Rather, this determines where iTunes will put new content when you add it. Current locations are held within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). As tt2 says, if you hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes and when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to your D: drive and select the iTunes Library.itl file that should be there. Ideally you should have copied everything to D:\iTunes with this structure: -
I've been working on this for hours... Solaris works but mouse won't move
Edit: I should go ahead and say that I've looked at EVERY tutorial and guide and post I could find all over google, for literally hours. If you know how to fix this, I'm begging you to help me.
I have a Dell Dimension 8200, 256 MB RAM, Nvidia Geforce3 Ti 200 video card. The settings that appear when I press the "enter" button on the moniter say 640X480 with H.F.: 31.53 KHz and V.F.: 60.09 Hz.
For the keyboard and mouse:
Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 ( Model 1014 ), Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse. Both of which wirelessly connect to the computer through the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1, which is simply plugged into the computer into the first USB slot.
My keyboard and mouse came from the same box, so they should both work...but only one does. Both worked on Windows XP, without installing any extra drivers, so it is not a hardware issue.
I'm using Xorg. Xsun graphics won't work for me--they come up as green and black scattered text. I ran the xorgconfig and xorg.conf was automatically placed in /etc/X11/. So, I assume that was done correctly... I chose Auto for Mouse Detection, the default mouse driver /dev/mouse/, Generic English 104-key for the keyboard, no for 3-button-emulation, no for special settings, yes for card selection ( I chose #19 Nvidia, #350 Nvidia Geforce will not work. ), #3 for Moniter selection, 640x800 for all options, and 16 bit I believe for all options.
I then rebooted, and the GUI worked fine and the keyboard worked fine. I logged in and got to the desktop, where I was prompted with some windows. The mouse pointer graphic was on the screen, but I couldn't get the mouse to work. I moved the mouse ( hardware ) back and forth repeatedly, despite my efforts the pointer simply stayed at the center of the screen.
It's almost humorous, right before I can read the keyboard shortcuts for Solaris manual while navigating the subchapters with the tab button and selecting them with the enter button( it was on the first layer of the windows that popped up so I could see it without needing to click on it ), the Solaris Registration window pops up a minute or two afterwards blocking out the other windows. I can navigate with the tab button in this window as well, yet the enter key does not have the authority to hit the buttons. My only option is to use a mouse...but wait--the mouse does not move!
SO TO THE POINT! Why won't my mouse work?!
I am completely new to UNIX based systems, so Solaris is my first one. I'm used to Windows XP, so just to let you know -- when UNIX commands are mentioned, you're speaking in gibberish to me. If I need to edit any files, please clearly explain how to do so--if I need to use a UNIX text editor etc., and what-not. Because as of now, I can only edit the files with the console.
Oh great...now this is appearing when I reboot:
WARNING - The following files in / differ from the boot archive:
/etc/path_to_inst
cannot find: /etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache: No such file or directory
The recommended action is to reboot and select "Solaris failsafe"
option from the boot menu. Then follow prompts to update the boot archive.
To continue booting at your own risk, clear the service:
# svcadm clear system/boot-archive
Jul 31 16:04:33 svc.startd[7]: svc:/system/boot-archive:default:
Method "/lib/svc/method/boot-archive" failed with exit status 95.
[ system/boot-archive:default failed fatally (see 'svcs -x' for deatails) ]
Requesting System Maintenance Mode
(See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.)

What is going on?

NextExitOkay I fixed it on my own by reconfiguring Xorg with a new mouse.
If anyone else somehow encounters this problem in the future, it seems like there isn't a driver for the Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse. If there is one, it doesn't come with the basic installation. Though, the keyboard works fine. The new mouse I got was a PS/2 Optical three-button mouse. It's pretty much your generic computer mouse. -
HT1578 My Macbook Pro has been trying to create this for 4 hours now, and is only 25% done.. ideas?
I'm trying to create a small password-protected image, and followed the instructions in this article; however, it has been stuck at "creating image" for about 4 hours now and is only 25% done. Ideas?
Hi, tough to tell, but...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
What should/can I do?
Hi, If you are not seeing Premiere Pro app listed for download, it is most likely because of your machine being 32 bit.
Apps will not be listed if your machine does not satisfy the requirements. Check your machine's specs against the Premiere Pro system Requirements.
System requirements | Creative Cloud
Not all apps displayed for download | Creative Cloud desktop app
This shall help.
if you seeing any other issue/error, please respond back.
