I have had itunes on my computer (Vista) for years. It suddenly "disappeared" could not be opened at all although still in programme list. I ininstalled it and have tried to download again. I get a message it cannot be downloaded, no explanation. Help!

I have had itunes on my laptop for years, no problems. A couple of weeks ago I could not open it at all. It still showed in programmes. I uninstalled it and have tried on a number of occasions to download again. I have been unable to do so. No explanation just "couldn't be downloaded". The Apple page just goes immediately to page "Now that you have downloaded itunes", but of course it has not downloaded.
I have another newer laptop and the itunes on that is fine. Recently got automatic updates - no problems.
Anybody got any ideas? Please

See the further information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Let's see if a more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure gets us past that, nancy. See the following troubleshooting document:

TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Hi
You will need to uninstall all traces of previous iTunes installations any all associated items such as bonjour, mobile device thingy, apple software updated etc.
Bonjour and iTunes can be uninstalled using the windows program uninstalled but for everything else best to use a separate installer program that also checks the registry for associated components as you will need to remove these too.
Once you have removed all tracesofeverything apple related ( doesn't seem to matter about QuickTime) you can try to reinstall iTunes 10.5 and hopefully it should install without any problems. I had the same problem as you and once I did all this every went through fine, seems that there is something in the old versions, the software updated part I think which seems to be blocking certain items in the latest version.
Good luck

I lost my handset (iphone 4s) and now have a replacement but when I try to restore from icloud I get a message saying 'cannot load backups'. Can anyone help?

Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...

I have used FF for years. Yesterday I could not get it to open. The clock comes on for a second then goes off. IE works OK. I uninstalled and reinstalled FF

I uninstalled FF and reinstalled it with the same results. IE and Chrome work fine. This is something that just started yesterday afternoon. Can you help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I purchased cs2 years ago. i have had it on my desk top for years and i want to load onto my laptop.

I purchased cs2 years ago when i was in school. I want to load it onto my laptop just to use for home. I have had it registered and loaded onto my desk top forever.
how can i register it? i tried downloading the free versions off the adobe website but my serial number isnt one listed on the downloads.
I have cs2 premium. i really would like to be able to continue using this software if possible. is there any way it can be verified?
thank you so much

If your discounted version does not qualify per the terms defined at....
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 -
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
then the extension of the post-activation-server version is likely not intended to apply for it.
In any case, if you want to pursue this, you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

TS3212 i have had itunes on my computer for ever. now that that there was an update i can not open itunes or redownload it!

You could try installing another browser. Here's a link to the (free) Firefox download:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Here's a link to the (free) Chrome download:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en
If you'd prefer not to install a different browser on your machine, perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

No clue.. you've not provided us any details.

Cannot install iTunes 10.5 - Program required for this install to complete could not be run

I am receiving the above error message when trying to install iTunes 10.5 on Windows XP (sp3). I have deleted as many temp files as I can (virtually all of them). I cannot use the MSCONFIG instructions as one of the options it requests (iTunesHelper) is not available in the list. I have also tried uninstalling the software in the order suggested. I have successfully uninstalled Quicktime, but when I try to uninstall Apple Software Update I get the same error message & cannot progress any further. Any suggestions..?
Thanks in anticipation

I recently tried to burn some photos to a disc. It did not work, but then I ended up with a .fpbf folder on my desktop. Can't trash it, and when trying to burn again, I get this "... can't be burned because the original items can't be found". Help???

I recently tried to burn some photos on a CD. For some reason, It did not work. Now I have a .fpbf folder on my desktop. I can't seem to get rid of it. I tried dragging it to the trash, but then I get a box asking my to type my password it, so Finder can make the changes. Doing so, does nothing at all. And when I try to burn another CD from the same .fpbf file, I get a the following message: "There are 35 items that can’t be burned because the original items can’t be found. Skip the items and continue burning?". When I skip and continue burning, nothing shows up on the CD. In the meantime, the .fpbf folder is still in my desktop. I tried changing the aliases on each pic, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas of how I can remove this folder from my desktop?
Thank you.

Beavis2084,
Thank you for your detailed explanation but something is seriously wrong with my computer. Although the method you have described is very similar to the one I tried in step 2 from my second post, I have since "done things" which may have complicated matters—or suggests that my computer has a more serious problem.
Here's what I did:
1). Installed Onyx and discovered that I had a .plist file (com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist) that was causing a Syntax error: "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header, if XML." After doing some research online, I was given the understanding that downloading the iLife update 9.0.3 (I installed the more recent version, 9.0.4) would solve this problem because it would also fix some system issues. So, I downloaded it...and when it didn't solve the problem, I decided to just deleted that .plist file.
2). I read your knew post and decided to follow your directions, even though I realized they were basically the same steps I followed in the 2nd method I mentioned earlier. I say "basically" because, for some reason, after inserting a blank disc, my computer does not open the disc in the Finder. Instead, it places the blank disc's image on the Desktop, even though the Finder's Preferences and the System's Preferences are set to have it open in the Finder—nothing should be on my Desktop! (Note: When transferring the items (all folders) I want to burn to the blank disc, I did not use the Option-Click-Drag method as before, I used the Click-Drag method, which created the curved arrow in the lower left corner of each item.)
Now, for the result of "method 2," the method we basically have in common, the computer goes through the burn stage but, in the verify stage, tells me that it is unable to verify the disk, suggests that my DVD may be unreliable and that I should try another disc, and then tells me about some "fork" (?) error (-43).
I don't know what to do anymore...
