ITunes 11 crashes to desktop when accessing Books/pdf section

Recently, I had to restore my iTunes directory after an unsuccesful move to a NAS. I completely restored my iTunes folder to the one that was there two weeks before. Everything works well, except for one (big) error: when I select "Books" and then look at the PDF page, iTunes crashes back to the desktop. After this, iTunes crashes even after pointing at "Books". Same story when I touch the iTunes/Books tab on my iPod 5th gen of iPad2 when they are connected. Synchronization is not an issue.
I restored the whole folder again, and found that Books was working with all subtabs except for PDF. Touching this tab made the folder build up previews until about 80% of the way, then crashes to desktop. Going back to this page after a restart cause an immediate CTD.
I strongly suspect one of the PDF files to cause this issue, but have not way of finding out which one is the culprit.
What can I do to fix this problem?
iTunes 11, iMac with OS X Mountain Lion, iPad + iPod Touch, both OS6

I browsed around in this forum a lot, and solved this problem on my own.
First, I deleted Flip4Mac, which did not help. Then I looked at all PDF's which started with an "A", as this happened to appear on my screen where the crash happened. I then check my iTunes/Books folder and noticed that some files had duplicates (i.e. had a '1' behind their file name). I deleted these double ones and restarted iTunes.
This did the trick!!

With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac. If you are trying to get it to the iBooks app then with the sidebar enabled the process should be similar to how it was on previous versions of iTunes e.g. add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync it to the iBooks app.

What kind of advertisement? In Adobe Reader? Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

IE crashes to desktop when attempting to display forms on OAS

This is on a server running Windows 2003 server SP2:
- Install OAS 10g R2 (Infrastructure + Forms/Reports)
- From the OAS server, start IE and enter the URL to call the formservlet to display the test.fmx form
- IE crashes to desktop
- Attempting to access the Jinitiator console via Control panel --> Jinitiator does not work
- Attempting to uninstall Jinitiator via Control panel --> Add/Remove programs does not work
- Only affects IE on the OAS server. From other machines, using IE to access the formservlet to display the test.fmx form works perfectly
We have come across this problem once before on another server, which we solved by adding the Jinitator x.x.x\bin folder to the PATH environment variable. However, this time, this solution does not work.
Any clues?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice BGrant, we appreciate the replies.
We managed to get Jinitiator working thanks to an email from Rolf Weilenmann and thought we would share it.
Apparently Windows 2003 server SP2 Data Execution Prevention (DEP) thinks java is a dangerous piece of code and blocks execution which is why:
- IE closes immediately upon trying to run the Jinitiator plug in (with no error message and nothing in the server logs either)
- Jinitiator console cannot be started
- Jinitiator cannot be uninstalled using Add/Remove programs
The solution sent by Rolf which we used and found working was to exclude java.exe from the Data Execution Prevention:
1. Go into Control Panel --> System --> Advanced --> Performance --> Settings --> Data Execution Prevention.
2. Select "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select".
3. Browse to \program files\oracle\jinitiator 1.3.1.28\bin (or whichever version of Jinitiator is installed) and add java.exe to the list.
If more than 1 version of Jinitiator is installed, pick the one that is used by the Forms server (Check <oraclehome>forms\server\formsweb.cfg for parameters prefixed by jinit*)

Crash to desktop when loading embedded swf

I have a swf that loads two other embedded swfs. The need for an air native extension came up so I've wrapped this swf inside of an AIR app. I install my app as a native installer. (on Windows 7)
My app has a main menu screen and two buttons that will load two separate swfs to do their own menus and actions.
Everything has worked great, until I tried to install the AIR app on a computer without internet. I ran the air redistributable, then installed my app. The main menu runs fine, and the main swf can load one of the embedded swfs, but when it tries to load the second embedded swf it crashes to desktop. No warnings, no errors, I just see desktop after clicking a button.
Here is how I'm loading the offending swf:
Inside MM_DocumentClass.as
[Embed(source="../../ContentViewer/bin/ContentViewer.swf")]
        public var CViewSwfClass:Class;
        public var CViewMC:MovieClip;
Inside MMState_MainMenu.as
     //Load the CView.swf, and add the listener for when it's done loading.
        public function CView_BtnClick(e:Event)
            Globals.stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, Globals.keyPressHandler);
            menuMC.removeEventListener("Animation_Complete", CView_BtnClick);
            trace(this + "******************************************************");
            trace(this + "Loading ContentView.swf");
            mStateManager.Container.CViewMC = new mStateManager.Container.CViewSwfClass();
            mStateManager.Container.CViewMC.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCviewLoad);
            mStateManager.ChangeState(new MMState_Empty());
        //Called when CView.swf is done loading
        private function onCviewLoad(e:Event)
            trace(this + "Cview Loaded");
            mStateManager.Container.addChild(mStateManager.Container.CViewMC);
I load the other swf in the exact same way.
This problem can be fixed by connecting the computer to internet and trying to run the same actions. The program will pause for a second, during this time I see a visible loading icon in the middle of the screen, then it successfully loads the swf and everything works fine.
My problem is that I can't guarantee our clients will have internet at all, so I need a solution to install AIR without internet and include whatever it is that my app needs to run.
Any ideas? 'Cause this one's had me stumped for quite awhile.

Does this happen whith every subVI or just on particular one? Also, what version of LV and OS?

ITunes crashes every time it accesses windows explorer

I've got a problem with iTunes crashing every time I try to sync photos to my iPhone (3GS, OS4.0).

Upgraded iTunes, now iTunes crashes my computer when syncing photos to my iPod Touch, how to fix this?

I upgraded to the latest iTunes this morning, now when I sync to add more photos to my iPod Touch, it crashes my computer. Why is that? And how can it be fixed?

*Replying to D&Z*
+But, it will do it at other times as well. If there is an error message - I do not see it as it happens too fast.+
We'd better check for a hidden blue screen, then.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Now try to provoke another crash.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?
If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:

Adobe crashes to desktop when I try to create a PDF from a Word document.

The PDF does end up getting created, but not before crashing my Adobe to my desktop, or even crashing it to the background so I have to kill Adobe in the task manager in order to get it to start again. The progress bar used to fill up faster when it was working correctly, but now, the progress bar just slowly fills up under "Reading PDF Document" and then freezes.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 on a Thinkpad T620.
Please help!

It's 9.4.
We are having multiple issues crop up on this system. Its MS Office and antivirus are both unstable, and a SQL server update has failed, so I am beginning to suspect that this issue may be a symptom of a bigger problem.

PS CS4 crashes to desktop when "save as.." selected

HI,
I am running Win XP with SP3 and latest updates. Sony Vaio laptop with 2 gig ram, 320 gig hard drive, more than 200gig available. Photoshop CS4 with all the latest updates as of 6/2009. If I start up Photoshop and open a file and edit it, all works fine. If I then click on "Save as" from the file menu, it dumps me straight to the desktop, all is lost, no error message, no hesitation, nothing. Once I got it give an error on the "ole32.dll" and the applicaiton wanted to close. If I start it up and edit a new file, click on "Save" rather than "Save as" it works fine, and from then on I can use "Save as" with no problems. If I bring up a file using Lightroom and then edit in Photoshop it works fine. Only when Photoshop is brought up by itself and only if I hit "Save as" before doing a "Save" and it crashes all the time. If I save a dummy file, it works fine. I have reinstalled Photoshop twice, same result. I have no issues with any other programs, just Photoshop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Alan

corrected typo on header

Sounds more like a generic MRU (most recently used) list issue. Seems to me, the Save as... is trying to access a location that is no longer there, hidden, or blocked. Those are all stored in your Registry, so choose Run from the start menu, type in regedit and search the MRU keys. Also try CCleaner, it also offers to clean out MRUs, it just doesn't always catch all.

Can CS6 exploit the GPU on my desktop when accessed from my laptop with RDP?

Just to clarify further: both machines running windows 7 professional or better (so the full version of RDP is available), and CS6 runiing on the desktop, accessed from my laptop.
As the GPU is being used as a compute resource, will CS use the desktop GPU for acceleration?
sad day if not - I am considering ditching expensive laptops and use a medium spec laptop together with a good gutsy desktop (which is about 1/3rd the price / performance) as I have a good network to run over at home.

The water is somewhat muddied. I have only a Windows 7 and Windows 8 system to try it with at the moment.
This is what I got when I RDP'd into a Windows 8 VM from Windows 7:

I have Photoshop working okay on the above system using the OpenGL VMware provides when I log directly into the console...
I don't think the above failure says anything definitive one way or another what's up with your particular request yet, though it does tell me I need to do some additional testing to try to understand what's happening so that I know how my own products are going to behave in this situation.
I have a Windows 7 VM I can test with. Watch this space...

HP MediaSmart crashing to desktop when attempting Bluray playback

Hello all,
I've been trying to get the movie Coraline to play in an HP Envy 17 1181nr to no luck. MediaSmart DVD reads the menu, then the FBI warnings, then the Universal intro in all Universal movies - and then crashes to the desktop.
By the way, it's the only bluray movie I've tried on a brand new system (the computer is days old), and it's the only one I have handy at the moment.
The error I get in MediaSmart says:
HP DVD Smart Main has stopped working. A problem caused this program to stop working. Windows is checking for a solution... etc. (close program dialog box).
I tried installing PowerDVD 10, and had the exact same error: a crash to the desktop, this time, with no error message.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
Thanks for the help and the time dedicated to these issues.
Cheers.
Also: just an observation, but I read somewhere on this board that some movies just don't play (like Spiderman 3). Is that true, and if it is, why? Shouldn't a player simply play?
EDIT: I read here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-TV-Tuners-and-Media/HP-Mediasmart-DVD-failure/td-p/307260/page... about a possible issue with Windows 7 update KB234886 and MediaSmart DVD failure. I checked for installed updates and I have it on my system. Should I uninstall it?
From what I read, this is a security update for the Server service. Also, I do not have Comodo firewall installed.
EDIT2: Doing more research, I find it's definately some incompatibility or problem with Cyberlink's software, as I can open the .m2t files in VLC player just fine.

Hi again,
Thanks for the links. It does seem that Cyberlinks Blu ray software is very sensitive to other software and drivers that may be on the PC and the list of things that break its functionality is ever-growing. Why this should be, when other companies such as ArcSoft seem to be able to produce Blu ray software that just works would seem to indicate that the Cyberlink software is just not very well written.
Regarding your issue with MediaSmart DVD, the next thing that may be worth trying is uninstalling and then reinstalling the graphics driver for you PC, which is on the link below.

Firefox fails to respond when accessing a pdf file on the web

The file comes up on the screen, and often downloads properly, but I cannot manipulate the control. The wee hourglass won't go away.

You need to update your plug-ins. The old Adobe PDF Plug-in '''could''' be causing your problem. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:

ITunes crashes / errors out when attempting to get Outlook 2003 contacts

OS: XP Pro SP2
APPS: Office Pro 2003 SP2, iTunes v.6.0.4.2
Hardware: iPod Nano 2GB
Problem: When I sync my ipod nano, iTunes opens, the music syncs and then I get an error:
“iTunes cannot copy contacts to the iPod ‘my name’”
Probable Cause: I installed from MSN Premium something called “Outlook Connector” I was going to use to synch my MSN Hotmail & my Outlook contacts. I believe it was after this install when I began having trouble with synching my contacts between my iPod Nano and Outlook 2003 SP2 for windows.
Solutions I have tried:
- Repaired Outlook using “Detect & Repair” as well as scanpst.exe
- Cleaned the registry
- Restored an older backup PST Outlook file
- Talked with MSN support who referred my to iTunes support
- Purchased Apple Care program (or something)
- Update iPod (wasn’t needed)
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled iTunes
- Scoured google, these forums, newsbin, ms kb, etc…
- The last thing I will do is to restore my whole hard drive to an time when my ipod did synch fine
Please help if you can. I really think this has to do with that MSN Outlook Connector, but I have removed all known traces of it. I wanted to make sure I to get an answer and posted this in both the nano as well as itunes for Windows forums, my apologies if that’s taboo.
Thank you in advance for any assistance, even if someone can point me to more resources.
Paul

I fixed this, YES!
For those who it may help, I went into:
Outlook 2003 > Tools > Address Book
From there I saw theat Outlook Connector (or soemething) created a new address book for my MSN/Hotmail and made that address book the default one.
I simly made my old one the default and ipod now synchs with the Outlook contacts.

ITunes crashes whenever iPhone is accessed

Every time I plug my iPhone into my PC(running Windows XP Pro), it crashes iTunes. If I load iTunes, access the preferences, and select the iPhone tab, it crashes iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I tried cycling back to 7.3 and my library was too new for that. This is all with the latest version of iTunes. I put the latest version back on, it still doesn't work right. I have no idea what's going on. The only recent changes have been to install a Logitech wireless keyboard and upgrade to the latest version of iTunes.

Okay, I managed to figure this out. Logitech stuff seems to be the answer. If you are running Windows, don't install all the Logitech software that interfaces with iTunes. At least not if you use an iPhone.
