I tunes wont start up(yes i know its common =.=)

yes i know its common but for me, i uninstalled bonjour and the application still does not start up. The same problem occurs like for most cases where itunes appeared on my task manager and then disappeared. help...

many thanks.
On a Windows 7 system, that suggests some application has stashed old QuickTime version 6.x componentry down in the system folders on the PC. (The ACE Mega Codec Pack and WinAVI Converter are the usual suspects with that.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I tunes ate my i river (yes i know its not apple)

I was the owner of an i river e10 till just recently. I plugged it into a computer that had i tunes as the default music player. I tunes decided that it would like to eat my mp4 player and did so. I believe that it attempted to convert the music files and other operating files of my mp4 player. Now i can not play anything on my mp4 player nor can i open any files contained within on my computer as it simply crashes.
It would be nice if apple would supply a new mp4 player but we all know thats not going to happen. not to mention i can not reclaim any of my school files from within the mp4 player rendering my last year of collage cad work void.

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

The first question is can you start Quciktime and play something with it? iTunes can't work if Quicktime doesn't.
If Quicktime doesn't work, remove it using the following method, but only do the Quicktime bits:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Then download and install the stand alone Quicktime, option 2 here:

If Quicktime works OK then your starting point is this Apple article on launch problems:

I have a iPod touch 4th Generation and its not wanting to start it stays on the apple logo and when i connect it to the computer it keeps beeping and the apple logo starts to flash but it wont start and i dont know how to fix this I need help!?

I need help to be able to see if I can fix this or something.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Time machine full (yes, I know its been posted before but I have no answer)

I have a macbook with 80GBhd, my time machine drive is a USB 80GB drive. I have 15GB free on my local machine and TM has 6.67.
So its telling me that it needs 10.4GB to complete its backup.... and is no longer backing my drive up. I want to say "Hey, Time Machine, go ahead and delete some of my older backups, its cool, I get it."
But that just isn't an option. What am I supposed to do? Go out and get a NAS device? Maybe a couple of TB would be enough to satisfy time machine?
Thanks

I see. I have a 120GB, I'll use it in its place. How then, do I move my current backup to my new backup drive? Can I just copy it?
And, wow, TM *****. You would think that it could make the best of what is available. Fine, I don't have enough room to go back a few days, maybe when my drive is full, I can only go back 1 day.
Brian, I've used Carbon Copy Cloner for years [http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.htm]
It's 'Donationware' - and worth a donation, it transparently uses Terminal/UNIX commands to do its stuff, has lots of lovely simple options- including the optional creation of a well-compressed but OS bog-standard SPARSEIMAGE disk image file of your Volume, supports the iPod:iTunes synchronization, will do fast block-level disk-to-disk clones etc. etc. and has UNIX-stndard syncing built in .. thru RSYNC...
The amazing thing about the SPARSEIMAGE format (well, amazing until you understand the 'why') is that it can very easily turn 120 gig into 90 : and the bulk of the reason turns out to be one of the 'usuals': allocation blocks.. as you no doubt know, the Mac - like all computers allocates space for file in minimum units: Blocks.. - a bit like writing a book but having to write it 10 pages at a time and having to actually use the ten pages... so, if the block size if 4 K (usually is on a Mac), eenif you only WRITE 500 bytes, the file will be allocated about 4k.. wasting 3.5KB (get info on a small file to see this: it'll say something like 4KB on Disk (512 bytes)).
On most systems but particularly with the Mac OS, you can have a LOT of small files (most of them are hidden from view inside other things - like, say applications which are really a special kind of directory or folder(show contents & browse about).. also prefs /plist files, small READMEs...) On a reasonable size disk it's not all that unusual to have 4 or 500,000 files. In 'Native format, 100 of those 500Byte files will take up 400KB. On a sparseimage (or in a zip or similar) the same 100 files will take 1/8th the space.
Hard to get better ,...

Media Encoder, yes I know its been covered b4 but still doesn't work

I'm having the typical
"Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source" and I've tried the things explained here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407106.html. The catch is, this is a brand new install of Adobe Production Suite on a brand new computer. It was working perfectly fine for about a month or so, but then one day, nothing. No updates were run and no new software installed. I've a few other things that some members have posted but still nothing works. Very frustrating because I do this for work and have deadlines. Any one have any ideas. The only thing I can think that it could possibly be is that I upgraded to Flash 10 about a week b4 the problems started occurring. Otherwise, it doesn't work on files that have been moved around a little bit but "relocated" when asked where the files are, but it also doesn't work on files that have stayed put the whole time.

Details...hmm... all of the adobe products have been updated to the 4.2.something, whatever is the newest version. Lets see... i7 920 w/ 12GB ram, 3HDD (1 scratch, 1 OS, 1 data). Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit (no available updates).
Some details of the problem... I was using handbrake to rip some marketing material and was able to edit them in PPro, but as soon as I tried to encode them, that when the problems started, I assumed that it was because of the file format that I encoded with in handbrake. Anyways, I had to edit the video in Windows Movie Maker, then took the WMV and dropped it into Media Encoder and was able to encode to the proper media format then. Anyways, I got the side project done, then went back to my projects. I edit interviews on the green screen, encode alpha channel, and throw them up on websites. So I did my normal stuff, but now when I encode, or try, I always get the error from media encoder listed below.
- Source File: C:\Users\djensen\AppData\Local\Temp\Mike Ponce.prproj
- Output File: C:\Users\djensen\Desktop\MPonce_return.flv
- Preset Used: WorkPreset
- Video:

- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:42:41
11/23/2009 1:35:25 PM : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
I had moved the first video I tried editing after the side project, but any videos that were in their place before all this happened are getting the same error.
That's all the details that I can think of. Thanks for direction Harm, sometimes when you're stressed we forget the most important things eh?

Yogapad 13 hot fix issues (sorry I know its common)

Hi all,
Sorry if you are staring to get sick of these posts as I know they have cropped up a great deal.
I opened up my yogapad13 this evening already knowing that I was going to have to run the hotfix, no problem I thought. I was actually quite impressed it was out there. However as others have stated its has not worked and it brought up a message saying the partitions had already been altered.
I did run it as admin, then after that failed I followed these steps:
STEPS:
1. Download and run the patch "lenrepv1.exe"
2. After it fails, you should have a file "LenRep_v1.cmd" in the same folder
3. Edit the LenRep_V1.cmd file (right click | edit)
b. Find the two lines that have SYSTEM_DRV and change "SYSTEM_DRV" to "SYSTEM"
c. Save the file (File | Save)
6. Run the new script (Right click | Run as admin)
Same message.
Can anyone confirm how mych space they has free after a successfull hot fix as I thought that being relatively new I was not sure I would need to run the fix. I currently have:
100gb Win8
4gb lenovo recovery
11gb healthy recovery
Is this what is observed after the tool normally? I though it was low as due to windows it means that there is only about 65gb free on the C drive.
Sorry if I am missing something and thank you for your time.

This is great... I've now uninstalled SBO 8.8 and reinstalled SBO 2007A up to SP01 PL09 and am able to develop/test my add-on again.
Now when I try to see if I can upgrade to SBO 8.8 Hot Fix PL07, the full PL05 install has check marks instead of check boxes for Server Tools, SBO Server, Client and SDK; basically everything I need to upgrade.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

My computer wont start!

My computer wont start and i dont know why!

If a SMC reset fails to bring life to the MBP, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.

I assume you have a functioning power adapter attached to your MBP.

That error message means that your email address is already associated with another Apple ID. It could be tied to GameCenter, iTunes Store, or another Apple ID.

You seem to have a lot of #fff codes in the CSS files that obviously aren't found with the long #ffffff search term (#fff finds them)
Make sure that the match case box isn't selected on the Find bar (Ctrl+F)
