Itunes 8 worked fine the first time, now it keeps trying to reinstall.

So I downloaded itunes 8 the first day it became available with no problems. I opened it to make sure all my music was there, and turned on Genius then closed it. The next day when I go to open itunes, it tries to install again and it gave me an error message saying there was a fatal error with the shortcut or something like that. I've tried to download again and I get the same message. I also tried to uninstall and I get the same error message. I don't know what to do. I've tried every solution to fix the problem posted on this site with no luck. I'm banging my head against the freakin desk. Can anyone help me, if it helps I have vista and it gives me error 2330 saying windows encountered an error while installing the package, then it tells me there is a fatal error with the shortcut.
Thanks alot Apple.

I had a similar problem with 8.0 a few days after upgrading from 7.7 to 8.0. I received a message as the following:
'3DE45K...........12KD' is not a short filename'.
I finally got rid of this by detaching my USB flash drive, which contained foler name mentioned in the error message.
If you are getting a specific file/folder name, I would suggest finding out where it is. You should get some idea how to attack it.
To get a prior version of go th the following URL:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
and look on the right side for release you want.
Uninstall 8.0 and install your desired release of iTunes.
To get the library for a prior release (iTunes won't work with a library created by a newer release), go to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder. Copy the file the appropriate file and rename the duplicate file to "iTunes Library.itl". Place it in the "iTunes" folder, replacing the file that was created for iTunes 8.0.
At this point, you should be good to go. the number 8 may be lucky for the Chinese but it is a disaster for iTunes.

Colors not showing up in Photoshop. Worked fine the first day, now when I click on a color it comes out in gray tones. Pop up about RAM storage?

Just downloaded Photoshop and there was a pop up box that mentioned my RAM and something about not enough RAM left for certain 3D features, filters, and image/color graphics(?). I continued. Everything was working fine the first time I went to use it, but the next day I opened the program and could not get any colors to show up. How can I fix this?

Go to Image>Mode and make sure you color is RGB, not gray scale. Also, a preference reset might help: Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop startup.

I have a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adaptor cord for a macbook pro, it was working fine the first week, now it does not show what I am seeing on my laptop on my lg Flat screen tv. It only shows the space background but not any icons. Any help??

Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.

It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
For software you may try a smc reset:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Try a pram reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

Adobe Photoshop Album starter edition crashes every time I sync. It worked fine the first time, but now it crashes and has to close. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

This phone is about one month old.

Have you ever had all 7 of them synced before? Are these ringtones you made yourself? Is there a chance they could exceed 30 seconds in length? Is there a chance you have moved the original file location on the computer? May need the answers to a couple more questions to try and determine an answer.

i have an ipad 2 the itunes program worked fine at first but now it will not connect to the store. it says 'secure link to itune store failed' i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. what do i do?

Doublechecking before proceeding. Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

The warranty is only good in the U.S.
You woulod have to send it to someone in the U.S. They could take it in and if it is defective, then it would be replaced.

Anyone still up? I just purchased from the itunes store for the first time, and don't know how to get them downloaded to my ipod.

Sigh.....really late and I want to go to sleep, but I just purchased some Itunes online for the first time, and I don't know how to download them to my ipod. I've never done it before, and it shouldn't be rocket science, but I can't find anything that tells me where to go to download my songs. It said something about check purchases, but I can't even find that screen. I connected my ipod to the computer, and now it says CONNECTED...EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING. My BF set up the acct when he bought my ipod as a gift, and as I bought these songs for a special weekend I have planned I can't ask him how to do it. HELP! For some reason the password I always use is not recognized for my account... and since I can't get anyone from itunes without a proper log-in I'm at the mercy of all of you more versed in tech and itunes than I. Is anyone still up that can help me out?

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up. Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps. However, the music library is intact. Any ideas? Thanks.............

I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up. Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps. The good news is that my music library is intact and that I've got more than one device with everything as it should be on them; the bad news is that my PC does not recognise my devices and keeps defaulting to " lets sync your devices to this new computer loose all of the playlists I've spent years compiling". I don't get it. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello! Just connected a used iPhone to iTunes for the first time. I'm trying to restore it to factory settings/default. The phone is connected via Wi-Fi and is updated to the most recent OS that the phone allows. The computer is also connected to the internet. But I still get the error: "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." I also connected via iTunes and authorized the computer, but still have the same issue. Really, all I need to do is completely wipe the phone and start from scratch for safety's sake.
Help?

Did you check your security software settings?
