I'm running iTunes 10.5.3.3 on XP and I can't keep the program closed, it automatically restarts every time - help!

Pretty much as the title says, I can't keep iTunes closed once I've started it. Even worse is that I can't update iTunes as during istallation it automantically starts and then gives an error whilst attempting the upgrade. 
Any suggestions please?

OK, you have iMovie 08, which is also known is iMovie Version 7.1.4. It has been a few years since i used this version, so this is based on memory.
The only components you must have in the Library/QuickTime folder are the AppleIntermediateCodec.component and the AppleMPEG2Codec.component.
All the others could potentially be causing problems. I would drag the DivX components, the Flip4Mac components, and the Google Camera components to the Desktop temporarily, so nothing is left in this folder except the two Apple components.
Then restart your Mac and start iMovie. If it works, yay!
If you still need these other components for some other app, you can probably get updated DivX components for free at Perian.org.
You can get updated Flip4Mac components by running WMV Player and updating. It should prompt you to update automatically.
I am not sure about the Google components, but if you are running something that needs them, it should prompt you to install the current versions.
If none of that works, post back.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • ITunes (11 I think) in smart playlists and folders won't apply the "Last Played" search criteria in real time.  Please fix!!!

    The major iTunes recent makeover, generally *****. 
    It's ugly to look at; it's grey and blue-grey and more grey.  god, how drab can you get.  You know how in the Finder we can assign colors to files, folders & applications.  It would be fantastic to be able to do that to playlists and the folders of playlists within iTunes.  Please add some color!  And/Or let us choose the color format for our personal copy of iTunes, like some browsers do.
    But more importantly I have some rather sophisticated smart playlists; many of which source other (smart) playlists & folders of playlists in my collection.  With this current iTunes makeover (iTunes version 11 I think), they screwed something up.  None of my smart playlists will apply in real time the "Last Played" search criteria.  This is very annoying.  Please, please fix it.
    And how about the ability to duplicate a playlist, to make new playlist.  Not to have two of the same playlists, but so the second one can then be edited to something similar to the first (as opposed to having to build a new similar sophisticated playlist from scratch).  This would save a lot of time in some cases.

  • On my iTunes gift card I scratched to hard and I can't see the code, how can I still use the money on it?

    I got an iTunes gift card and when it said to scratch to reveal code, I must have scratched to hard and it scratched off the code. Is there anyway I can enter something somewhere and still get to use the gift card?

    You will have to contact iTunes support

  • My iTunes 10.6.1.7 automatically restarts every time I close the program.  I have to open the Task Manager to close it and keep it closed.  Any suggestions to fix?

    I have closed the program repeatedly, but every time I do it reopens within a few seconds.  The only way I have found to make the program STAY closed (not using memory and CPU time) is to force it to close in the Task Manager.

    Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

  • HT202157 I run my apple tv on a mobile hotspot network with limited data.  How can I keep the apple tv from automatically updating.

    I travel fulltime and use a mobile hotspot for my internet access.  I use my apple TV mainly to be able to stream movies to my TV.  Since the 6.0 update I can no longer controll when I update the Apple TV.  This is more than an inconvenience since the auto update has caused data usage overrun and higher phone bills.  At $10/gbite this not a cost efective for a minor update.  Is there a way to turn off the auto update feature of the Aple TV?

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

    Hello skkmmayer,
    That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality are not always optimal). Any way around this?

    I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste any artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality of the images is not always optimal). Major problem given that I'm in the process of re-ripping some 40K+ songs in Lossless format... Any way around this?

    After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:
    a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer

    No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    i have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?

    You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers.  The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari.  Hope this helps!
