I have iTunes (11.1.4) and OSX (10.9.1). itunes becomes unresponsive immediately upon booting up with the pinwheel. If I open the app in safe mode it appears to be working normally for about 60 secs. and then the pinwheel shows up again.
I have restart all devices.
Hey Von2,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. Usually with issues like this, I would recommend starting iTunes in Safe mode - but you have already done that! Great job.
The next step is to isolate the issue further by using another user account:

Just signed up for MobileMe. Had a little difficulty setting up iCal but eventually got everything working. Whether posting to iCal on my Mac Book or iPhone, sync seemed to be working fine for about a day. Then suddenly when I opened iCal on my Mac Book, I would receive the following iCal error message:
"The calendar https://cal.me.com/calendar/calendar/principals/users/1.1117025442/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct." I know where it is located but because I did not enter the URL when I set up MobileMe/iCal, I don't know what the correct URL should be.Mike,

The hdmi adapter no longer works, and I tried it on different tv, different hdmi cables, apple's adapter still don't work. My iOS is 5.1 by the way. HDMI cables work fine for other devices, connect it to my computer, works fine, connect it to dvd player works fine. So what is going APPLE? I splashed out SGD59 for this handy adapter, and it no longer works after a month!!!

Hi yes, I've turned my new iPad off and turn it back on again, along with my Tv, still did not work
No. Meg was referring to a reset:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -
Yah so i play music and it stops like in a middle of a song and annoys me just upgraded to iOS5 and didnt happen until i upgraded?
Try restarting your iPod first.
-Turn it completely off by "Slide to power off"
-Then turn it back on and see if it still does it -
Nforce 3 Platninum and 6800GT works fine for a week or so then fails to boot.
Hi everyone,
I have read pretty much all the posts on the forum, but none show the exact same problem as mine, as far as I can see.
I have an MSI Nforce 3 plat mobo (with latest BIOS), which is turning out to be the worst investment I ever got.
My specs are as follows:
2x512MB Kingston ram
AMD 3.5
pixelview 6800gt
raptor HD
thermaltake 480W PS
I upgraded to the nforce 3 for the 939pin socket for my AMD chip. I had constant freezing, so my old memory I had to chuck and buy 1GB of Kingston ram. Using my old ATI 9800pro my system was stable. Absolutely no crashes. I decide to buy a pixel view 6800GT AGP card to upgrade. Cool. Plug it in, reload windows (latest WHQL drivers from NVIDIA). Everthing is fine, for about a week. Then bad things start to happen. The symptoms are:
Turn machine on, BIOS check all ok, machine does DMI listing. As soon as the "starting windows" screen comes up, the video display goes corrupt. Either white, with diagonal lines, or windows XP logo all over the screen several times and corrupted. The machine does boot into windows, but the screen is blank or corrupted. I hear the windows startup sound click in. Press the power button, shut down the machine. Reboot. It usually comes up fine.
I thought initially it was the graphics card, so I swapped it out. Reloaded windows. All works ok for about a week. Then, again same problem. Windows event viewer shows no errors.
My question is this: can this be fixed or is it hardware incompatibility. If so, can I fix it tweaking the mobo settings. I have tried the AGP fast writes, didn't work. This looks like intrinsic Hardware incompatibility, but if it is this, why does it work for a week without any problems, and then it gets worse and worse and worse.
If this is a hardware problem, what is the cheapest way to get out of this. Is MSI nforce 4 any better or do I ditch pc gaming all together. I have been gaming from XT days, and I have to say, I am totally disheartened with this whole mess. The one thing in my life that I do want control of is a bootable, reliable PC to relax with at the end of the day. At the moment, I just shed tears as it is turning out to be a costly nightmare.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend has offered to buy the 6800GT from me, and give me my old 9800Pro back. Should i do this???
Thanks guys
JohnHi Makisst,
Thanks for the reply.
System specs are as follows:
AMD 3500 64
MSI Neo Platinum (nforce3)
Creative labs Audigy2 pci card
Pixelview 6800GT AGP 256MB
Kingston DDR400 512Mb PC3200 400Mhz x2
MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM 939 pin (MS-7025-010)
Western Digital Raptor™ 74.0Gb 10,000RPM SATA150
Themaltake 480W power supply.
I have 2 extra ATA HDs, which I have not added to the system to rule those out.
I have a DVD player (bog standard MSI) and a CD burner (not plugged in so as to rule this out).
The only thing I have not tried is removing the sound card (audigy 2). What is driving me absolutely nuts is that the machine works fine for a week. Then there is a slow degrade. First boot, scrambled screen, second boot fine. Then a few days later, it will only boot the thrid time around. Then after 2 weeks, it won't boot at all.
I have tried this card in another persons machine (the 6800GT that is), and it boots fine.
I can honestly say I have not tried playing with the BIOS settings except for AGP fast writes, as it was working fine with the Radeon 9800 pro. I have done two full HD formats, and completely wiped the Raptor twice now.
I shall have a look at the BIOS settings you recommended tonight, and see if they make a difference. I am, to be 100% honest, a little bit scared of playing with the BIOS settings, as I really don't know what I am doing. I see that the ppl I bought the machine off have set timings in the BIOS to 3-3-8-3 (I think, I will confirm this tomorrow), so should I leave these settings?
I shall also remove the Audigy 2 card and see what happens. System properties show machine has no conflicts though. It is almost like the card is not initialising correctly. Why this happens only after 1 week though I have no idea. This is the third time it has started happening after 1 week.
The only extra software loaded is Norton, Win XP SP2 and directX9. I really have not had it stable enough to start loading extra software. I am getting too tired after reloading for the third time in 6 weeks.
I will let you know tomorrow either way.
Many thanks

I have iTunes 11 on a Windows 8.1 PC. It is streaming to a 3rd Gen Apple TV. Movies and TV Shows seem to play fine. Music will stream for about 10 - 16 songs, then just stop. I have to reset everything, then it will repeat the cycle. This happens regardless of wire or wireless connection. I would suspect that there is something wrong with the network, or Apple TV, except that movies and TV Shows seem to be fine. My music library is about 3700 songs, all legit, either imported from source or puchased through iTunes. This one has me stumped and frustrated!
I thought that may have been the case too. I set the power settings to compensate but still the same. I also done things like reset the router and Apple TV to factory. Starting to think it may actually be the Apple TV, but it just doesn't make sense ?!?

Recently I put my 2009 macbook pro to sleep and the next day I came back to turn it on, it turned on for about 10 secs and then went right back to sleep. I've done all I can think of to get it to work but it just goes right back to sleep before I can do anything. Any suggestions??
thanks
hockYou can check if your Mac is set to sleep mode:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Energy Saver.
Click Schedule.
You can set your Computer Sleep to Never
and your Display Sleep to Never -
my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.
Most likely, water damage.
You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.) -
MacBook slow wakeup, black screen, Mavericks, took to Genius bar, worked OK for about a week and now the same.
Screen actually seems a very dark navy blue almost black. sometimes can see cursor in white
Only happens sometimesIf you can somehow document any processes you've put the MacBook
through, which can cause it to repeat the symptoms you've seen, be
sure to write down the sequence of events if your action and resulting
issues can be make re-occur. Then you'd have a fair chance at some
one looking deeper to find the real cause of this problem. {If you have
a digital camera handy, you can take a picture of the screen if it should
display some curious content other than a black screen, such as that
seen in a kernel panic or other message. Otherwise, a working Mac
can take its own screenshot.}
The computer should be returned to the Apple Store genius bar for
further evaluation & more in-depth diagnostic tests of long duration.
Sometimes a test may not run any of the additional software, together
or separately, that you may be accustomed to using. Perhaps the basic
OS X and a few applications work just fine.
If the issue is due to a conflict in software and not a hardware failure,
the cause may be harder to discover. If you have a complete backup
of the system and your files on an external drive, that may help if you
need to reinstall it. However if there is a problem in that software set
a new installation without conflicting software may be required in order
to troubleshoot the machine.
How old is the computer, how much RAM installed, how large a hard
disk drive and what is the remaining unused capacity of that drive?
(The HDD capacity will show 'other' so that may be unsubstantiated.)
Are there any indications in Activity Monitor, or in the system log files
from Console, to show crash logs or other effects from the Time/Date
of these slow wakeup and black-screen intervals? There may be.
Some of the system report may be helpful to those who know how to
read the resulting mass of files. Perhaps one of the more advanced
users who occasionally reply here will see your thread and offer a
method of accessing the OS X via Terminal or single user mode,
for troubleshooting purposes. Mine is an older OS X with less fuss.
Good luck & happy computing!

When I restart the computer as before it works normally for a few minutes then all of a sudden it's in safe mode again. It just started doing this a few days ago, I never had a problem before and it's really annoying as I end up having to restart my computer every few minutes.
Try to update firefox to the latest 12.0 and check it again. If you have the problem again try to a new profile see: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles Managing profiles] , see also: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles] .

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 and when i have tried to install and open itunes i keep getting the message 'itunes has stopped working' itunes then shuts down before i can do anything to fix it. This happens every time I try to open itunes. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, starting itunes in safe mode. Nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help.
If and when I finally manage to open it, as soon as I click on a movie to watch, the message "itunes has stopped working" comes up.
Try the following user tip with that one:

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?
What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.
