ITunes 8.1.1 installs, but doesn't pull up.

Every time I try to launch iTunes from my desktop, it says its only valid for products that are installed. And when I try to pull it up from the start menu, it makes another icon on my desktop that won't work. HELP!

If you managed to install iTunes without errors and you get this message, it is possible that your short cuts are corrupted.
Go to Program Files\iTunes and and try launching iTunes by double clicking on iTunes.exe. If that works, make a new short cut.
Right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>>Desktop(create short cut)

TS1424 ITune download continues to process but doesn't complete. What could be the issue

ITune download continues to process but doesn't complete. What could be the issue

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

ITunes v7.0.2 - installs but won't set up

Hey guys,
I seem to have the same problem some other people on here have, I've just had a newer ipod that requires latest ITunes, it downloads, it installs, and then it just sits there and none of the files will respond to anything further, and it won't enter the Setup stage (not even the ITunes Helper file will respond).
I've downloaded it to my dad's laptop and it functions fine on there (but not so great as not my computer with my library!), so I can't figure out what's wrong.
I've tried everything I can think of:
-the computer meets the min requirements;
-the software (and MS Installer software) are allowed on my firewall;
-I've tried msconfig to weed out any conflicting programs (and setting up a new, clean user account to see if system wide) - nothing;
-I've checked for viruses that might affect it;
-checked the file path
-etc, etc, etc
I'm stuck - anyone able to help? Suggestions on a postcard (or here) please.
Any help would be much appreciated!

No error messages, just the hourglass for a couple of seconds then nothing.
hmmmm. well, at least we've ruled out one of the most common causes of that. (NIS 2005 interference.)
let's check on another few things.
(1) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
(2) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

Creative Cloud Update downloads, installs but doesn't work?

Every time I launch my computer (Mac, latest OS), I see there are 9 updates available to download for Adobe CC. Every time I update a single app or everything, it downloads, installs but nothing is actually done. When I get info on apps. everything still shows as 12.0 as if it has not been updated. When I restart the computer again, i get the message that there are still 9 updates available to download. This is an endless cycle and no matter how many times I "Update All", it will continue to download, install but nothing actually gets updated.
I've fixed disk permissions, deleted preferences and allowed read/write access to all the Adobe folders and it's still not working.
Thanks.

Hi Motionlab_AU,
Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ AAMUpdater/1.0 and rename to 1.0.old. Launch CC desktop and try updating again. (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html)

Serial number installs, but doesn't register

Just purchased CS6 today from an online merchant. Downloaded CS6, used the serial number they provided, and it installed properly.
Went to adobe.com to register with my Adobe ID, and get that it is in invalid serial number. Chat with Adobe support, they say it is a volume serial number, and can't be registered to my Adobe ID.
Chat with the online merchant, and they say it is issued through Adobe's TLP (transactional licensing program), and is a valid, registered serial number.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Part of my concern is with the upcoming Lightroom/Photoshop CC offer, I'm probably going to need to prove to Adobe that I own Photoshop CS6, and I'm not sure how I am going to do that. Thanks.

I talked to two tiers of Adobe support, second tier said they couldn't do anything, but also couldn't tell me if it was a legal license or not.
Response from the vendor was they are using Adobe's TLP, and issuing legal licenses.
Adobe shop is still selling PS CS6 at full retail.
Really feels like Adobe direct sales, indirect sales, licensing, support and web registration aren't talking to each other, and there isn't a common set of rules across them.
You're right, I'll probably have to wait until the LR/PS deal goes live Tuesday, and use that to get some resolution from all the parties. But doesn't leave a very good customer experience. (Actually, didn't mention the infinite loop on the web page from trying to do "Complete/Update Adobe ID", the fact that Adobe's download page doesn't work with IE, or that the requested email to [email protected] got an "out of office" auto response.)

Need an app to edit and sign word documents (sign with stylus)! Notability let's me sign but doesn't pull up letter head, quickofficepro let's me edit but not sign. Looking for an app that does both

I am looking for an app where I can edit word documents as well as sign them. I am a physical therapist whose looking to cut down on paper work. Someone types my evaluations and then we print them out for me to edit by hand and then they go back and make the corrections on the computer then w print them and sign them to send off. Recently I have begun using apps where I can pull up the document and edit it thru quickofficepro or through cloudon, but I cannot sign them using a stylus pen. I also have notability which I can use to sign the documents, but it doesn't save the document as a doc, it's either a PDF or rtf. Also, in notability, it doesn't pull up the letter head for our company which is a template with our logo on it. So I need an app where I can both edit and sign my documents by hand using a stylus. If someone could provide me with any relevant information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

ITunes installs but doesn't open. Numberless Error

Hi
Recently I was trying to update iTunes (to the most recent version I think) and my crummy computer froze during the installation. When I restarted I tried to run iTunes and got an error message:

ITunes 10.5.1 acts like it installs but doesn't

I just got the new 4th generation iTouch and it will not work without the latest software update. My system is on Windows XP. When I tell it to do the update the screen blinks and then takes me to the screen that says "Thank you for downloading iTunes software" But it is not updating the existing software and i can not locate the new software anywhere. I've tried to download several times. I've run the Windows Fix program for installing updates for Apple software. I have never had a problem running updates before this. I do not know what else to do.

I note from your system details aside User String ending in FBSMTWB that presumably indicates FastBrowser Toolbar software is installed. That must be a prime suspect. Try disabling or uninstalling that software.
You will probably have to identify the software and remove it using Windows XP control panel. See this answer from ''SafeBrowser'' [/questions/878922#answer-250766] mentioning
* ''Open the Windows XP Control Panel and remove/uninstall "Fast Browser search protection" and "Fast Browser Search" (MyWebTatoo) ''
N.B. it is conceivable that names of such software change slightly, depending on when and how it was installed.

ITunes detects iPod...but doesn't put songs on iPod??

The songs won't update on my iPod...I googled and it said theres somewhere in iTunes where I can check "Automatically update songs on my iPod"....but I can't find it? Help?

Yes, I meant to post back earlier. Here's something else that we can try:
Under "Music" deselect the "Sync" option so as to manually manage your iPod's content, then click on the "Apply" button in the right-corner of the iTunes screen to save your changes.
Now, eject/disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Connect it again, and check to make sure that your changes were saved, then select the "Sync" option again (and deselect "Manually manage songs and videos" under the "Summary" tab), and click Apply.
Click on "Sync iPod" from the File menu if iTunes doesn't begin to start automatically syncing with your iPod.
After iTunes has auto synced all of the content to your iPod, be sure to eject your iPod from your computer if the iPod still says "Do Not Disconnect" after it has completed with syncing (that's usually because Disk Use is enabled). Then, disconnect it, and see if the music has sucessfully synced to the iPod or not.

JDK 1.4 installs but doesn't work in XP

I downloaded the new JDK 1.4 and installed it, but it doesn't work. No application that requires Java works... none of them can find the JVM or the reference to the JRE.
I use to have only the JRE running here and everything was fine, but I want to install Together5, so I removed the JRE to install the full JDK.
And now nothing works... no ENVIRONMENT VARs were set.

Hello cdechery,
When you say: "No application that requires Java works" do you mean that you cannot compile your programs?
What happens if you enter java -version in a DOS command window? Do you get information about the current version or do you get an error message.
I suspect that you get information about the current version. If not, set your PATH environmental variable. See the installation instructions for Windows/XP for details on setting your PATH environmental variable.
The more common problem is that you need to set the CLASSPATH environmental variable to point to your own .class and .jar files (but not the system .class and .jar files).
Use a command line similar to: java -cp .;c:\dev\classes\myapp.jar myapp to run your application.
What was your previous version of the JRE?

Installs but doesn't detect

I have installed Flash Player 9. It works so long as the
website I visit doesn't attempt to detect whether it is installed
or not.
Unfortunately, most websites try to detect if the visitor has
Flash installed before showing the flash movie. In this case, the
website always tells me that I don't have flash, and then redirects
me to the Macromedia download page. This then tells me that I
already have Flash Player installed. And so the cycle continues.
I have run the removal tool to remove flash, then reinstalled
it. No joy.
I have run the repair tool, but I get this error message -
DllRegisterServer in
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\flash9b.ocx failed.
Return code was: 0x80070005
My security settings are all as should be - besides that's
not the issue, because I have installed the player, and it will
work fine on some sites eg
Thomas
the Tank Engine which don't use Flash detection scripts.
It's just the websites that do Flash detection that are the
problem, because they ALWAYS tell me I don't have Flash.
What can I do?
I have XP Pro SP2 with IE6.

Your issue has been discussed many times on this and other
forums and suffice it to say that it has become a sensitive topic
to many. At the risk of opening a can of worms, I will offer some
advice.
The activeX control (flash9b.ocx) is not getting registered
correctly, hence some Flash detection schemes will fail. There can
be any of a number of causes for this - too many to discuss here;
here are some steps I have found that can overcome a number of
potential causes.
First, carefully remove all traces of Flash Player:
Get the newest version of the Flash Uninstaller (as of
11/14/2006) from this Tech Note:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
and run it as instructed in the tech note. Do not use any existing
Uninstaller you may have on your computer now.
Unfortunately, failed installs of Player seem to leave
remnants that the Uninstall program may not clean. So, some manual
remediation can be needed:
Go to the folder "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash" and
delete all the files in this folder (leave the folder).
Go to the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files" and if
you find "Shockwave Flash Object", delete it. It should not appear,
as it will only show if you have correctly registered the ActiveX
control (in which case you would likely not be having these
problems).
Just for grins, open the Control Panel, Add or Remove
Programs and look for any instances of Flash Player that may still
show. Hopefully, there will be none.
Now, go to “
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/”
and insure that it does not show Flash Player version installed.
At this point, you should not have any “old
stuff” to cause problems with the Flash Player 9 install. You
will also have removed any plug-ins for Firefox, Netscape, and etc.
so you will also need to open these browsers and re-install Flash
Player 9 from the Adobe site.
Now, try to reinstall from the Adobe site.
To be safest, reboot your computer into "Safe Mode with
Networking". This will insure that you don't have any programs
running that might use Flash and that none of your security
programs will interfere. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222
if you need to know how to do this.
Alternatively, deactivate any Internet security programs
(especially Norton Internet Utilities) and exit any programs in
your Windows System tray. See this Adobe Tech Note:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166.
Now open IE and open the Adobe.com home page and click on the
link to install Flash Player.
If you see the Flash movie indicating a successful
installation and get no error messages, then you are likely in good
condition. If you get error messages, then these are symptoms that
you may have more serious windows registry problems or a corrupted
IE installation.

ITunes shows in Task Manager but doesn't run

I was having an issue where my iTunes would start and show as a process running in Windows Task Manager, however, the GUI interface would never show up. I could end the process, but restarting the application led me to the sam state I was in before; the process was there, but no iTunes.
I am running Windows XP Media Centre 2005 edition with rollup 2, 2Gb of RAM, AVG AntiVirus, all the latest MS patches and Windows Defender all up-to-date. Stopping all the anti virus and anti-malware programs didn't help. Reinstalling iTunes did nothing, and installing the stand-alone version of QuickTime did not work either.
I searched many an archived article to find the particular solution that worked for me, and I have linked to it below.

Hope this helps someone in the future. It was a very frustrating exercise, to say the least.

Update Camera RAW in PSE 8 for Mac installs but doesn't function

I've researched the forums and tried reinstall of PSE 8 and downloading the camera RAW updates. both 5.7 and 6.1. After looking at the various proposed solutions I can't seem to find the exact answer I'm seeking.
The Camera RAW update installation completes properly but still won't open my Olympus EPL-1 RAW (.ORF) files.
The Camera RAW Plug In info still says version 5.5.0.97
I can view the .ORF files in Bridge, modify them and save as .dng, then open them in PSE 8.
I'm new at this but assumed I would be able to open the .ORF files in PSE 8 without all the conversion. Did I miss something?

You can't install ACR in PSE via the Adobe updater. It's lying to you. You need to go here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
download the latest update and follow the instructions in the readme exactly. You need to remove the old plugin from the folder before putting the new one in there.

Archlinux on Microsoft Virtual Server - installs but doesn't boot

Hi all,
I'm trying to sneak Arch into our organization, but as we're very Windows-focussed it may take some time. I thought I would be able to install it as a virtual machine on our Virtual Server, but I haven't had any luck.
The system seemed to install fine, but when I restart the machine and take out the virtual CD it just sits there with a blank screen, but using 97% CPU.
Here's how I installed the system:
Physical machine: Core II Duo 2GHz running Windows Vista 32-bit, with 2GB memory and a 120GB IDE drive.
1) Setup a virtual machine - it has 256MB memory, and a 100GB dynamically-expanding IDE virtual hard disk.
2) Attached the Don't Panic 2007.08 BASE ISO to the Virtual Machine, and started her up.
3) Started the installer with arch ide-legacy. This is because I've run through this install a few times now and without this option it complains that it can't read from /dev/null a lot and that it has trouble writing to VHD.
4) Did an auto-prepare and selected all of the defaults to partition the virtual hard disk.
5) Selected all of the base packages and installed them.
6) Did the "configure system", and left everything as the defaults except setting the root password.
7) Installed the kernel, again leaving the defaults in the config file.
8) Installed the bootloader. Last time I used GRUB, but it sat there saying it was installing for over 2 hours. This time I tried LILO and it installed in less than a few seconds.
After all that was done I exited the installer and did a reboot. Now it sits at 97% CPU usage constantly and shows nothing but a blank screen. Using ALT+F1-F5 shows nothing.
Microsoft Virtual Server has support for the Red Hat and other distributions so I would have expected ArchLinux to work. Has anyone else had success in getting Arch to run on Virtual Server? And is there anything I did wrong in my installation?
Cheers,
Paul

Well, according to this virtual pc 2004 supports archlinux 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 .
They claim virtual server 2005 uses the same core as virtual pc 2004 , so it should work.
Try installing with one of the previous isos, see ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/iso .
