Itunes 7.0.2 won't launch just has hourglass for a few seconds...

I am running a Dell Optiplex w/ Win XP Pro, Charter High Speed Security Suite (F-Secure) antivirus firewall antispyware stuff. Trying to upgrade itunes. Downloaded and installed without Security suite and firewalls etc. Installed fine. QuickTime opens and works except when I try to click on a movie trailer and it tries to open iTunes Store and it won't load the store. ITunes 7.0.2 won't launch. The hourglass shows for a few seconds and then nothing...no small pieces of anything popping up and going away really quick. Nothing. I don't have any other antivirus products on my system. I do have eTrust Pestpatrol antispyware but it has been disabled and was not active when downloading the product nor when installing the upgrade. All previous versions of iTunes worked fine. This upgrade to 7.0.2 will not launch. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Marlene

I downloaded the program without any firewall, antivirus software or antispyware or antimalware running. I installed the same way. I don't have an active firewall through Win XP, my Charter Security Suite's firewall has always been instructed to allow all of the itunes, ituneshelper and Quicktime info through. I never had this problem with the other iTunes...only this upgrade. I have done virus, spyware, and malware scans (found a few with a deep scan, quarintined and deleted, restarted computer, still no change). My computer is up to date. I could update my Internet Explorer I suppose from 6.0.2. but that is something that shouldn't be stopping iTunes from launching. I have a P 4 with 2.4 ghz 256 ram of which I know I need to upgrade but still should not have a contributing factor in the launch. If it is, tell me and I will immediately upgrade. I don't get this one... ???? Forgot to add, I also tried another user account which had the same results.

Indesign CS4 won't boot! Hourglass for a few seconds, then nothing!

Hi all,
My first thread here, borne of extreme frustration.
We have recently installed CS4 on our machines at work. On one of the machines (mine) Indesign refuses to boot. If I double click on the icon, or try to open an existing file, the same thing happens. I get the hourglass for 5 seconds or so, and then nothing. Illustrator and Photoshop work fine. I am using Windows 7 which i thought may be a cause of the problem, but my boss has 7 on his machine and Indesign works fine.
I have re-installed several times to no avail. I even used the Adobe Cleaning script, but that has not helped.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim,
I was wondering if you ever got this problem sorted as I am having the same problem on my 64bit machine and Adobe tell me that it is a Microsoft privileges problem!!
Thanks,
Robin

When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

I have downloaded ios 6 on my ipad 2 but it wouldn't install and now my ipad won't work (just has the apple logo on the screen periodically) or reset. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try restoring the device using iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer and when iTunes opens, select your device on the left side, then click on the summary tab, then click on Restore.
After the device is restored you will have an opportunity to restore from your backup. Restore from the backup when you are done and then sync with iTunes.
if that doesn't work, try recovery mode.

If I were you I would try to troubleshoot your connection with itunes ON the system. But for starters it is very unlikely one program like itunes blocks your connection, so I would try to disable your antivirus/firewall during download and reinstall of itunes. May be your firewalll kicks in some panic mode. Judging by your name you have very strong firewall

Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Because this is affecting multiple DVD's it suggests a faulty drive. If you were willing to spend a few $ or € and purchase an external optical drive from any electronic shop, that would be a sound diagnostic step to take; possibly a solution and cheaper than replacing the internal drive if counting labour is a factor.

ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?

I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.

If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

My nano and iPhone4 were face to face for a few seconds and now my iPhone won't turn on. It doesn't do anything. I had just charged it. How do I get my iPhone going again? What happened?

Reset your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Songs imported into Itunes only play for a few seconds

I seem to have a problem with some of my songs in my library playing for a few seconds and then itunes jumps to the next song. I have played these songs before and they were fine. Once this happens once it always happens to a particular song. Anyone have any thoughts?
thanks

I think I might have found an answer - importing a folder and or Limewire!
Either Limewire mess's with the files, folder or your system or iTunes attempts to stop illegally downloaded files being played. iTunes might also do it if importing a lot of files in one go.
I imported a music folder that isn't mine from our home network drive that has a few tracks in it downloaded through Limewire. I re checked some of the files in Ableton Live and they are actually damaged! So I tried importing one of the Limewire tunes again individually after finding some info online (links to the pages at bottom) and the track plays no prob now. I also un-checked the "look for shared folders" in iTunes preferences.
For about 2 years now I haven't been able to import more than 3 files at a time which is why I imported a whole folder (about 50 tracks) just after the software update and C.D importing.
My concern is that importing a whole folder even without any Limewire downloads in it might well be treated this way by iTunes. Most of the tracks in our network drive folder that have been downloaded through Limewire are legit direct connect transfers from producer to producer or legit submitted tracks!
Hope this helps.

Shuffle appears for a few second and then it's gone! (itune 7.3)

Can't access my Shuffle since last night! (right after the software update for sound).
My shuffle mount on the desktop for a few second than disappears, it is available in Itune under devices but you can't copied or erased anything on it.
I have tried restore, restart, and all the USB port without success! ;-(
Has anyone the same problem?
Thanks

Me too. This is really poor. I plug in my shuffle and I get no status lights (maybe a quick red one then nothing). I don't know whether it is charging properly or not. In addition it will not respond to autofill. I can drag and drop things into it but when I do so, it will not play items in the proper order. I have never seen such poor software upgrades as this. It went from working fine to upgrades for both the shuffle and iTunes that degraded performance.
And don't just tell me to restore, etc. I'm no dummy.

Connect your phone to itunes on the computer you use itunes on and open up itunes.

but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.
