ITunes 8 will not quit after 10.5.5 update

So I installed the new 10.5.5 update for Leopard and go to listen to some music. I select the song on my iPod, go to play it and iTunes crashes. It immediately re-opens, no input from me so I try a few times until it plays. Fine, probably need to refresh the PRAM or whatever its called. Reboot, hold Command + Option + P + R, ta da all done. Open iTunes and it crashes again off the iPod and still won't quit. I have force quitted it half a dozen times and it won't quit, it just relaunches, even when I'm shutting down! It will open while shutting down! I don't know what else to try, anyone else got this problem?

having the same problem. itunes hangs on startup. attempted to force quit, then itunes appeared, then disappeared. blue light in dock is still on, app reappears in force quit dialogue. but app does not reappear on screen. attempted two force quits and it finally quit. then restarted the app and worked fine.

Mail will not quit after sending message with attachment

B&W G3-450
OSX 10.2.8
640 MB RAM
I recently switched to using an email account through AOL Instant Messenger (AIM.com). The only way to connect to their service is via IMAP. I have all the correct settings, I can send and receive email no problem.
However, when I attempt to send a message that contains an attachment (.zip, jpeg, anything) the email will send just find. The problem is when I try to quit mail it wont' respond. I can continue to send or receive after sending the message but it will not quit. Trying to log out does not work either as it reports a problem with Mail that prevents closing the session. The only thing I can do is force quit mail.
The next time I use mail it works fine and there are no problems. The only issue seems to be this hanging problem. I've never experienced this problem using POP3 accounts.
Any suggestions?
B&W G3-450 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Does anyone have a suggestion here?

ITunes 9 will not open after upgrade

I recently tried to upgrade to iTunes 9, but my computer wouldn't take it, so I uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled it; six last night and twice today. Whenever I open it after reinstalling it, a message will pop up saying "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-50)". Help please?

I have a Windows XP
Thank you!
Okay, this is not going to be a cure in itself. But it'll identify which troubleshooting procedures we need to employ here.
Go into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights.
Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Now try to launch itunes in the new user account. Does it eventually open to a blank library, or do you get another 50?
(If it launches, we'll try to fix the library file in your normal account. If it's a 50, we'll try to fix a broken Apple Application Support.)

ITunes error - will not work after trying to update to 7.2, then to 7.3

I have tried to update to both 7.2 and to 7.3, but both updates have failed. Now I am stuck on 7.1 with an error, where my iTunes will not operate and I cannot uninstall because it comes up with the same error that I get when I try to install or uninstall.
Below are links to images of the errors:
Here is the error I have currently:

I would appreciate your assistance!

It sounds as though you need this article on trouble installing iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
You need the section at the end after "Important: A majority of customers..."
I think you need to do a full removal of iTunes and quciktime with clean up. But the important bit is to clean up the installer files with the MS Installer Clean Up Utility.
If cleanup doesn't seem to work, it is worth checking you have the right version of the Windows installer. If you find it in add remove programs, it should say "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)"

Music Purchased on iTunes will not play after 3.0.1 update

Hello,
I have a 3GS 32GB. Since upgrading to 3.0.1, music purchased from iTunes won't play. Other music will play. Purchased music will play from the library on my laptop.
I have also been bitten by the failure to launch bug. Third party apps would not launch after the update. That problem has been solved, for now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I has this same problem after upgrading my OS. I tried everything, reauthorizing, restoring, downloading new music (worked from iTunes not from iPhone). I got my apps to work by deleting them and redownloading but you can't do that for purchased music. Apple Support had me restore my iPhone as a new phone through iTunes (instead of restoring from a backup) after making sure EVERYTHING was backed up. Now everything works again and all my data is there and problem is solved. The only additional work I had was to reenter some settings that were lost.

Itunes app will not download after 1+ months

So I downloaded an app to itunes (that I paid for thank you very much in case anyone thought I stole it) and it will not download onto my iphone 4. I have downloaded other apps from itunes that have downloaded successfully. Every time I try to download it, the error message that comes up says that I need to update my iphone software. To add to this frustration I just became a member of the Apple Iphone Family by upgrading to an iphone about two months ago so I mean come on, how much newer does my iphone software need to be if I just got the phone two months ago?? And to add to the frustration, I cannot call from another phone to solve this problem eventhough apple care says I need to so I can solve this problem.
So help a guy out here Apple Family. How do I solve this problem without doing a system restore and wiping out all my music and files?

Well, what version iOS do you have? What version does the software require? Have you tried contacting the developer?
Doing a restore only deletes them from your device. Simply re-installing them via iTunes solves the problem of "wiping out all my music and files"

MBP will not reboot after 10.6.8 update attempt

This post may be a bit telescopic, since I'm posting from my phone, but here goes:
Attempted 10.6.8 update from 10.6.7 on my late 2009 MBP. It went to a blue screen and then sat on that screen with a progress wheel for over an hour. I gave up at that point and simply restarted by holding down the power button and turning back on. It then went to a gray screen with the Apple logo and a progress wheel for a few seconds and then just shut down. I repeated this several times.
Next, I booted into safe made without any problems. I went to the list of startup programs and chose to hide all of the third party apps, then rebooted into safe mode again.
Here is where I started having issues. It went to the apple logo and progress bar for a few seconds then just shut down. I attempted several safe boots and got the same result over and over.
I then put my install CD in the drive and rebooted holding down C. It went to a blank gray screen for about one minute, then spit out the CD and shut down.
I booted into verbose mode and it did a check and got several errors and then just shut down. I attempted this multiple times with the same result.
I then booted into single user mode and ran fsck -yf. It gave me several missing thread record and invalid extent entry errors followed by numbers and one line that said "Incorrect size for file GSUIcon.icns"
Not knowing what to do with this, I typed tail /var/log/system.log to pull up an error report from around the time this may have started. I'm not sure how to get that text to my phone, but it doesn't say a while lot. Basically that a "terminate was called after throwing an instance of 'Security::CssmError'" then "bpf_write(en1) failed: network is down". There is amlittle more, but none of it tells me what really happened. I can send a picture of the error report from my phone if anyone wants to see the whole thing.
At this point, I cannot boot into safe mode or from a CD, only into verbose or single user mode. Thoughts?
Thanks folks!

MetaKine issues with 10.6.8
MetaKine hands off, update to 1.3.1 before attempting aninstall of 10.6.8: the old version causes a kernel panic and will notallow booting after an update. As it loads a kernel extension,safemode also doesn't work.
Simple solution: boot OSX install DVD, run terminal from utilitiesmenu:
code, enter and press return
cd /Volumes/yournormalbootdisk/System/Library/Extensions
mv HandsOff.kext /
quit Terminal and reboot
Then load Hands off app, and run the update it finds.

2012 MBP will not boot after 10.8.4 update

Has anyone else had problems with booting to 10.8.4? I have a 2012 15" MBP with dual boot 10.8.4 and Win 8 via BC on a single Seagate Thin SSHD 1TB. Win 8 will boot but the OS X drive will not even mount during boot. I tried single user, verbose, safe, fsck, DU, recovery all to avail because the system no longer recognises the drive because it will not mount.
Now, this same thing happened two weeks ago and I eventually replaced the stock Hitachi 1TB with the aforementioned Seagate. I am now using the Hitachi as an external drive and it is working just fine after erasing/formatting. I refuse to believe it is a HDD issue seeing how Windows still boots fine.
Does anyone out there have a long term solution? I cannot believe that I need to completely wipe my drive every two weeks and reinstall/restore/recover my system. I never had this problem prior to updating to 10.8.4. Any help would be appreciated.

same **** happend to me after I updated my retina macbook pro I had to take it to the Apple store to have it reinstalled and updated

IMac will not boot after 10.10.2 update

Hello all, I could really use some help. I downloaded 10.10.2 from the app store on my iMac (previously upgraded to Yosemite through app store), and when the system restarted, I would see the white screen with the apple logo and the progress bar about a third of the way across. then the system would ether restart or hang. Here is what I have done so far.
1. I am unable to boot to recovery mode using 'command R'... nothing happens and it goes back to the apple logo and a progress bar that get to a third of the way and stops.
2. I am able to press 'option' during boot and get 3 options for loading (system, recovery, and a Yosemite install disk i made on a USB). selecting any of these options returns me to the apple logo and the progress bar that gets stuck at a one third complete.
3. I am able to select safe and verbose mode. the machine will sometimes get all the way to "system up time in milliseconds" before it reboots.
4. I am able to boot to single user mode. I have run '/sbin/fsck -fy' until it no longer displays 'modification have been made' and it displays 'volume appears to be ok" (takes 2 runs). from here i have tried both rebooting, and exiting, both result in the white screen with the apple logo and the progress bar getting to a third of the way.
5. i have tried clearing the NVRAM
6. I don't have another mac with firewire or thunderbolt to try targeted disk mode
7. i have had 1 success in getting to the log in screen using verbose mode. during the boot there was a whole screen of the same line repeated many times, it said "BUG in process suhelperdt[167]: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external). after i logged in it reported that the system has un-expectedly shutdown, and that it would send a report to apple (is this a kernel panic?). i hit yes and then show the details. then the system hung up, and rebooted. then hung up again during boot with the same "BUG" message above.
I've got good time machine backups, and don't mind doing a complete reload if i can ever get to that option.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a 27 inch imac (10,1 late 09) that was doing the same intermittently during 10.10.2. In a fit of frustration, I updated yesterday to 10.10.3 and now the computer is doing exactly as you describe. I cannot get past the white screen at all. I have booted into recovery, verified and fixed the drive even though it it checked out fine. and attempted a fresh download on a clean partition. nada... i can get into safe mode, and I tried installing the SMC fan control, switching off transparency, and lowering my resolution. none worked.
I was convinced my hard drive was dying (when I had 10.10.2), and replaced it last week with a SSD. The SSD ran great for about a week, then had the same problems. I never had a problem with 10.10.1 or prior. I have checked my ram, and that does not fix the problem (swapping all four into the front dime slots in sequence).
This computer has run great since 09, and I have never had any issues until now, but it is now a very expensive paperweight. I cannot do the internet recovery that sets up the original OS the machine shipped with (too old for that feature), and it will not let me download a previous version of OS X from the app store (I have mavericks, lion, etc there).
I think my apple love affair is officially over. Looks like i will be searching for a pre-yosimite computer to download a usb version of mavericks or lion, and I sure as **** am not buying another apple product in the near future! I was very close to pulling the trigger on a new macbook, sure glad I did not waste my money -again-.

HELP Mac Mini will not boot after 10.5.1 update

After I tried installing 10.5.1 I received a warning message that the update will not be installed because of an error and I should contact the vendor. After that the Mini tries to reboot. It keeps repeating the process over and over. I have tried to do safe boot mode by manually turning off the computer and then restarting while holding shift, but nothing happens. Can anybody help?

I think the problem might be with the external HDD I am running with this machine. I am reinstalling everything now from my time machine backup. I just added this hard drive the other night and it is loud as all **** and I believe it is why my machine has crashed. Before I added the drive, my system was running pretty good. It is a Calvary 160gb drive. I think I am going to have to send this POS back to newegg and get myself another Lacie drive, because my other Lacie is running smoothly.
I'd go with the LaCie. I got two from Amazon, 320 and 500 and both are quiet, have 800MHz FW and I have had no problems with either of them. The new one also has a 3-position switch - Off/Auto/On which allows it to sleep when not being accessed when in Auto.
I suspect that your external HD was the problem all along.

Mail Application will not open after 10.6.8 update

So, I'm currently trying to update my parent's computer and in the process of updating their Mail application it has become unusable. My computer at home (not my parents computer) ran into the same problem before I updated to Lion and deleting the preferences for Mail solved it. Plus, I have read previous posts about this similar problem and a typical troubleshooting solution was to delete the Mail preferences.
After all of my software updates (Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and deleting the preferences for Mail, I still receive the same error message when trying to open the application. "Mail can't be used on this version of mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications foler on your computer." My applications folder has not been adjusted, edited or even touched from it's original state in the dock/home folder.
I contacted AppleCare support and they advised me to reformat my computer. I think that's a little... unneccesary?? It's just Mail that isn't working. The rest of the applications (e.g. Safari, Address Book, iPhoto, etc.) open just fine.
Anyway, do you have any advice or insight to my problem here?
Much appreciated! Thanks!

After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before. Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded. It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly. And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
"Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Check if there are any updates available for the application."
How can I re-install just Mail? A startup disk is not accessible for me right now. Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?
