ITunes 9 hangs when trying to send Genius to Apple

working on Windows Vista, I was able to upgrade to iTunes 9. It will launch, then gather Genius info from my library. when it tries to send to Apple, the barber pole animation starts, then freezes.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the same results. What am I missing?

Bummer. You can see if getting rid of the preference files and genius database files will make it go away, Dream.
Delete these files. You may want to back them up to some temporary folder if you think you might want them back, but itunes should rebuild them the next time it's launched. You will have to reset all your itunes preferences, of course.
Actually these first 2 are entire folders
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library Genius.itdb
C:\users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library Extras.itdb

Acrobat X hangs when trying to send email through Share panel

When I try to send a pdf as an email under Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Acrobat X v. 10.0.1 (using the Share Panel button), the panel appears, is blank and now the Acrobat X application hangs. Have checked and verified the Mail client, used Onyx to correct permissions, etc. but to no avail. I cannot email a pdf from Acrobat X Mac.
Anyone else experience this problem?
Mac OS X 10.6.4, Acrobat X 10.0.1 on MBP 17"

Hi Phillip;
I quite understand the predicament. I have v.9.4.1 running on my Mac desktop (9.4.2 has a bug - really........) and the only reason I have 10.0.1 is for instructional purposes. It is getting harder to recommend upgrading with the increase in unpredictability of the application, despite being the de facto standard for electronic portable documents.
Adobe would be well informed to listen and work with its clients to resolve some of these issues. Many years ago, I did graduate work on human interface and icon recognition in operating systems. I can safely say that there are several substantial problems with this software's interface (icons with no possibility of adding labels for recognition - not tool tips but proper labelling). Tool Panel is a nice idea but poorly executed as you have to constantly open and close directories. And when in the Forms mode, you cannot expand the panel to properly see the field names in their entirety, etc, etc.
Until Adobe addresses these shortcomings. more clients will pass on upgrading this application.
Best regards.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iphone backup.

Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iPhone backup. The iTunes software becomes unusable and unresponsive after entering correct password (only set up today) All i want to do is backup my iPhone before trying update to the latest ios. I have tried uninstalling all Apple software and re-installing, all unsuccessfully - still have the same problem! Essentially i have to use ctr+alt+del to even close the iTunes program, so I'm assuming there must be some sort of corruption with the encryption / password setup - neither of which have been used at all, all previous backups are on iCloud and don't have encryption. I obviously don't want to attempt a backup with these sort of issues occurring as i don't think i could trust it. Can anyone suggest a way to fix the problem, Ive tried googling all afternoon without any success - most answers I can find relate to people who have lost their passwords but don't have the software issues i am having.

Further to the issue - i thought I'd try and run an encrypted backup for fun (since that's the only option available atm) and the backup hangs as well - in fact it doesn't even technically start other than saying its backing up. The progress bar never moves at all?

Keep getting error 4002 when trying to update Genius

I haven't seen anyone write about getting error 4002 when trying to update genius in itunes. I select update genius and it gathers information and sends it to the itunes store I assume. And then waits a few seconds and then I get the following message "Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (4002) Please try again later." I've been getting this message for well over a month and I keep hoping they'll be an update or somehow it will magically be fixed, but nothing has changed. Anyone have any insight on this one?
The current ituned library it 123GB and is stored on external drives. It should also be noted that when I first turned on genius when it was released it went through this whole problem without a hitch. I just can't update Genius with any of the music I've added since then. I can't even get genius to recognize music that I got from the itunes store since I've had the problem.

Be careful - this was a disaster for me. Once I did this, I got a different error - an error 4010 and in trying to recover, caused a lot of library issues that forced me to go to a backup to fix. You'll find a lot of people having the 4010 problem. Basically iTunes Genius is a disaster and Apple isn't fixing it.

ITunes 7 hangs while trying to update Library

I installed 1Tunes 7 onto my Jukebox Mac - contains 16,450+ tracks, 90Gb. iiTunes hangs when trying to update the library. I keep all my actual music files on an external LaCie D2 160Gb drive. Even if I move the drive to a different Mac, and attempt to update the Library there, it also hangs.
Has anybody got a suggestion?

Sorry to not be of any direct help, but I'm having the same problem and my situation is almost identical. iTunes 7 in general has been buggy for me and I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that I have 100GB of music which is located on an external drive (not an uncommon set-up). I've tried the reinstall from the download of 7.02 as well as software update and have tried repairing permissions vs. not. I've also trashed the itunes plist files in my usr library.
And now I'm just reflecting on how practiaclly everytime I update something from apple I have to spend days trying to figure out how to fix it. I would consider myself a pro user as well which makes me wonder what the millions of novice mac users do to keep their systems running... oh yea, I almost forgot, for $350 for 2 years beyond the year you get for free (175/yr) apple's novice apple 'care' customer service staff will attempt to help you fix their faulty, seemingly untested (in a real world working situation) upgrades (or they'll just deny the fact that the problem exists and make any attempt to blame it on the fact that you probably just forgot to plug your machine in). Makes me wonder if the faulty upgrades and applecare have anything directly in common. Is Steve Jobs republican?
Sorry, years of dealing with apple products, just had to vent...

Itunes Not Responding when trying to eject Nano

Hello. It's my first time to post here. And that's because I've never had any problems before, but that's not the case anymore.
I recently upgraded itunes to 7.4.3.1. itunes works just fine until I try to add or remove songs or podcasts on my Nano. When I try to do this, it looks as if I can upload or remove songs, yet when I push the eject button to remove the nano, itunes freezes. I must right click on itunes in the taskbar and the not responding window opens and I must shut down itunes. I've left the ipod connected for an hour or more to see if that would help before trying to remove it, but that didn't not help.

I have the same problem. Itunes temporarily hangs when I do almost any activity. Then after several seconds of no apparent activity (and Not Responding in the Task manager), it wakes up.
The problem seems to be tied to Quick Time. Quick Time starts OK but has trouble and fits playing videos. I read in another post about uninstalling Quick Time then installing the stand alone version. Would that be appropriate for this problem?
In the previous version of Itunes and/or Quick Time I had no problems, everythign worked smoothly Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards,
Alan Rovner

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

Try reentering the password in your iCloud mail settings.

Help! In iphoto my photos do not appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.I tried all of the solutions that Apple suggested. Somehow I think that i am trying to send ALL my photos in an email.How do i unhide all of my photos?

Did you launch iPhoto with the Option(Alt) and Commnad keys held down like Terence suggested? If you did it properly you will get this window:
The second option is the one you want to run.

Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup

Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup. I get the rotating beach ball cursor for hours but not get the confirmation dialog known from 3.4.2 aksing whether I really want to back up.
On old Mac Mini with OS X 10.6.8 and Aperture 3.4.2 there was no such issue.

Creating a new vault and populating it always works but then turning around and updating that vault hangs? The drive is formatted OS X Extended, correct?
That is strange. Before abandoning vaults, they should and do work in 3.5.1, I'd try this
Run a library repair on the library. I always do this now as it seems to cut down and hangs when updating a vault.
Before starting the vault update open the Aperture activity window Aperture->Window->Show Activity.
Now do the update. I can't give you anything specific to look for, just try to get an idea of where the hang is happening (if it happens after the repair).
As for rsync, it should work OK but keep in mind as a lot of the data now in 3.5 is in database files any change to Aperture will result in reync seeing a lot of files has having been changed so I'm not sure now much of a savings that will be over just copying the library. To be honest I've never tried rsync on an Aperture library so this may not be an issue but something to keep in mind. BTW do you have much rsync experience? It can be a bit of a bear to setup if you're not familiar with it.
Another option is to look at one of the cloning programs Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They have the ability to make clones and then update only the changes since the last clone operation. In reality, I believe one or both actually use rsyn as the backend but give you a much nicer way to set it up and schedule it.

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save PDF files

Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting. Applies for any of the Save options. "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding." Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files. Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved. I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

I am receiving an error message when trying to send an email.

I recently had to change my email password. Now when trying to send or forward a message on my Iphone 4s I am receiving an error that my user name or password is incorrect. My phone service is through AT&T and email is embargmail.com.

Where did you change the password? Did you go into the email account on your phone and change the password as well? You need to check your SMTP settings, as that is what controls sending mail. If you get an error when trying to receive mail, that is the incoming server.

I keep getting the following message when trying to send email, email rejected by server because it does not allow relaying

when trying to send emails on my Iphone i get the message
email rejected by server because it does not allow relaying
can anyone help me with this problem

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail ServerSMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name +Passwordunder Outgoing Mail Server.
