I tunes 1.11.14 broken on windows and won't reinstall

I got an update notice, but the update kept failing.  It said to manually download and install.  That failed also.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but it will not install.  During the install I get the error saying the mobile device service will not start, and cannot get past that in the install.  I tried following the suggested fixes posted to others, and so far nothing has worked.

Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
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.

  • Firefox is starting in a small window, and won't even run no matter what. Help?

    Okay, long story short, I accidentally downloaded some viruses. We got them removed (me and my father), but now, Firefox won't start! Well, it does, but it opens in a very small window, doesn't have the logo, and can't do anything but shrink. Please note, that not even Internet Explorer/Exploder could connect to the internet, so I'm using another computer.
    Best of luck,
    Red (My nickname).

    When you start Firefox, normally there is a thumbnail of your startup page above the Firefox button on the Windows 7/Windows 8 Task bar. Is that all you see, the actual window is nowhere to be found?
    '''''Thumbnail Only'''''
    Sometimes the Firefox window gets off-screen. If you have a multiple monitor setup, make sure both monitors are on. Other users have reported that sometimes Firefox behaves strangely when the second monitor is off.
    In all other cases: Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''''Broken Window'''''
    If you get an actual Firefox window with missing features, try launching a new window using Ctrl+n. Also, try double-clicking the top bar to maximize the window. If neither works, please try the steps above for the Thumbnail problem.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit - ITunes died and won't reinstall

    Last night my wife let her laptop battery run dry with itunes 10 open. We had just installed it a week or so ago, and had not updated from the online download version.
    Anyhow, afterward, when I tried to open iTunes, MS would pop up with a message that the program failed to open properly. The laptop is Windows Vista 64-bit with the 64-bit software.
    I uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, restarted, and tried again. Seemed to install correctly, but still got the crash when attempting to open.
    Tried QuickTime, it also will no longer open. Uninstalled both, and no when I try to install iTunes, it goes through the gathering information process of the install, but then pops up with a window saying the installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
    I downloaded Windows Install Utility v. 3, but it shows iTunes and QuickTime completely removed (at least no entries were in their to remove).
    I also redownloaded the iTunes .exe, with the same results. Even tried the 32-bit, heh, which obviously didn't work, but worth a shot I suppose.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
    I did a backup of the registry and went through and hard delete most of the iTunes entries, with no success, so I just restored the registry to the original since I wasnt 100% sure that I should be doing that.

    Below are the two most recent problem reports for each of the three programs. No other programs had any recent problem reports. One interesting thing, from the time stamps, there are no crash reports from the last few iTunes install attempts which were giving the message from above and the latest attempt where it just flickers then doesn't do anything else.

    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

  • When ordering on line, I click continue to get to next window and won't continue and shows a line at bottom with "true... false...true" and won't go to next window.

    When I go into any website to make a purchase, when I click on continue to go to the next window, nothing happens. I wexploreron't go any further. I get a long list of numbers and letters with true false true in a banner at the bottom of screen. I have tried to click on the banner but disappears when I go to put the arrow on it.
    This all started when I was on a government website, hit back arrow, and lost the site. Ever since, I have not been able to conduct any business on Firefox and have to resort to using Explorer to do my business. Explore works but not FireFox.
    Thank you!

  • Tabs won't open windows and won't change

    I have about 10 tabs open from a previous session. None of them work now. The group tag on the far right doesn't work either.
    This is the only window that works.

    Dos it work if you open a new window?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Browser shows up in my email window and won't allow me to read messages

    I go thru Firefox to access email at AOL address. Suddenly when I open an email the contents flash briefly and are replaced by browser window. If I forward the email I can read it before sending but links etc
    may not be useable. I deleted Firefox and re-installed but the problem persists

    You'll need to call Apple directly.

  • Firefox opens in a tiny window and won't resize. Only the upper right had corner displays.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program but I still get the same window that displays the minimize, restore and exit buttons. Exit and minimize work but restore is not available. Resize does not work. I can't get to any controls within the program to make any changes or run a troubleshooter.

    Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

    You can also try to delete the current Firefox desktop shortcut and create a new shortcut.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized in Windows and won't charge

    My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped charging via ANY charge medium, connected directly to USB port with adapter, via an iHome-like stereo, nor will it work in a wall charger. Also, neither a Mac (10.7) nor will a Win 7 computer with updated iTunes recognize it. Every time I connect it I get a message "USB device not recognized and has malfunctioned..." I have already changed the battery out (it was already out of warranty) still not charging or being recognized. Any help resolving this would be far more than appreciated!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
    ~J

    Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See it this helps. If still problem, clean port with toothbrush and some Isopropyll Alcohol. Clean especially the pins which are on top of the port mid-rib.

  • Safari unexpectedly closes window and won't reopen till logout/in

    Since shortly after upgrading to OSX 10.5.2 I've been having a problem with Safari on my main computer a Powerbook G4 and with the Mac Mini it sync to. I've talked to Apple and they seem to think that it may be my bookmarks that are corrupted. The Safari page unexpectedly closes after a few minutes and although the application stays active I cannot open a new page until I quit Safari and log out and then log back in again. If it is the bookmarks file that is corrupted is there a way to export them to another application, say as a text file and then reimport them to Safari. My bookmarks are very important to me and there are way too many to retype them all. Any other suggestions would also be very appreciated.
    TIA
    Michael

    Many thanks again with the Safari problem. I just marked your final help message as solved and a couple of the previous posts as helpful.
    You're very welcome, Samantha. Using Apple's products has been and continues to be a wonderful experience for HS, myself and everyone who frequents Apple Discussions. We only wish for anyone in need of help to have the same. The pretty stars are a bonus, so thank you!
    On another subject that maybe you can help with or direct me to the correct area where I might get help: Since a couple of weeks after upgrading to Leopard, around the same time Safari started acting up, I suddenly could not open any MS Office X documents, Word or Excel.
    Where Apple Discussions is concerned, your best bet will probably be the 'Using Mac OS X Leopard' forum. However, seeing as Office v.X is a relatively old application suite, you might benefit from the corresponding sub-sections in the Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.3 forums as well. But while you're here in our neck of the woods, perhaps we could suggest some simple steps which might aid in pinpointing the problem.
    First off, a quick and easy way of narrowing down the problem is again to set up a new 'test' user account in the 'Accounts' section of System Preferences. Log into it and see if the MS applications behave in the same way. If they appear fine, then it could be (but not necessarily limited to) cache- or preferences-issues, or add-ons such as contextual menus, specific to your user account.
    If you post back with your results following this, hopefully we'll be able to suggest a few more things.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Taskkill /F broken in windows 8 when applied to a process that crashes on exiting

    It appears that Windows 8 has broken the taskkill command in part at least (actually, I think it is more likely a broken ability to set the debug attribute, which in prior Windows versions allowed taskkill to kill programs even if in a different security
    context; but I don't know exactly how to test that or prove my hypothesis).  When attempting to kill a process that is hung on exit (e.g., attempted a normal exit from the program, but it hangs and fails to exit, and continues to consume system resources),
    there appears to be no way to terminate the application/service, and an "access denied" error is generated even though run from the administrator command prompt.
    I have had this happen now many times with chrome.exe (which seems to have lots of issues with Windows 8 in general, but especially when exiting), as well as Skype.exe (a perpetual problem child program under any system).  It is repeatable if you can
    get any program to crash/hang on exit:
    (1) start a bunch of chrome.exe windows, especially ones that require resources like scripts, and then attempt to exit chrome window by window - this will cause chrome to crash on exit 5/10 times.  Confirm hung process via ctr-shift-esc and see
    that at least one chrome task is still running (chrome window may or may not still be visible)
    (2) From the administrator command line: "taskkill /IM chrome /F" which will give the access denied error.
    (3) psutils is also unsuccessful: pskill chrome /F also gives same error (run from administrator command prompt)
    As I understand prior Windows releases, there is a debug attribute that was set by these particular utilities (under Windows 7 and earlier) which allowed taskkill and pskill to kill processes even when the task manager failed to do so.  It seems
    that something is broken under Windows 8 now in that regard.
    Any ideas how to fix?  is there a registry fix?  Another utility that works under Windows 8?

    Hi,
    I tried the command in Windows 8, it works with no problem. I can even kill explorer.

    The problem is with killing certain "runaway" processes.  I can kill chrome just fine ... until it crashes!  Once it crashes, it is unkillable.  Something is not right.

  • Has anyone had issues with the latest i-tunes update 11.1.4 on Windows Vista

    I downloaded the update on 24th Jan, and when I tried to open i-tunes after that it failed to start and the message was MSVCR80.dll and the window suggested that I remove and re-install i-tunes.
    I did this and then my CD/DVD drive was not recognised. I then decided to go for a system restore prior to the update. When I did this i-tunes worked again but a window opens every 30seconds saying 'Mobile device helper is not working'  At one point I had 116 windows open. Has anyone else had this problem or can offer any advice please? I have an i-pod classic and my system is windows vista which is approx 8yrs old. I have never had any problem with i-tunes updates before.

    Try using these directions on this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
