ITunes and other programs hang after starting...

Hello everyone,
Programs effected:
iPhoto
Adobe Acrobat
iTunes (Only when I open the iTunes Store)
Problem:
After about a minute, the program will hang and become unresponsive (pinwheel) but will not crash. I have to shutdown the program manually. The program will cause my CPU to max out until I force-quit it.
Any ideas for further diagnosis?
Thanks,
Jared

Nevermind! I rebooted my iPod and my computer recognized it! Whew!

[1.1.2.25.79] Program hangs after starting long runnin SQL with parameters

Hello Forum,
I'm currently tuning some SQLs with parameters that run some minutes. When I enter the SQL in the worksheet and press F9, SQL Developer asks for the parameters. But after clicking "Apply" (or whatever it is called in the english version, I'm using german ;-)
I get the elapsed time of 0.018 seconds displayed and the whole program hangs until the SQL is completed. The elapsed time is not updated so I don't get the real elapsed time.
I run SQL Developer against an Oracle 9.2 Database on Win2k. The client runs WinXP.
I hope this is not a double post but searching the forum for "parameters" gave too many hits to check. ;-)
Regards,
dhalek

Sqldev hangs when issuing an action that requires the previous action to be completed first.
Sqldev could open a new connection for this, or at least display a message telling the action isn't possible until the previous one completes, instead of just hanging. Vote for the requests for this on the SQL Developer Exchange if you want this getting addressed sooner.
Thanks,
K.

HI SkyBristol and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try this... locate the Microsoft Office and Adobe CS preference files.
com.microsoftoffice.plist com.adobecs.plist
That may not be the exact way the preference file reads but it's close.
Here's where you can find them: MacintoshHD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, drag those files to the Trash.
Reboot... and don't worry about trashing preference folders, your Mac will create new files for you. You will have to reset your Preferences in those applications. (Preference files can become corrupted).
Also, run Disk Utility located here: Applications/Utilities and Repair Disk Permissions.
I hope this helps,
Carolyn

ITunes (and other programs) unable to recognize the contents of my iPod classic. Help/advice?

Recently the hard drive of my macbook failed, causing me to lose all of the contents on it - including my music. It wasn't of too major concern for me considering I have my iPod and have ripped music from it to iTunes before. Alas when I attempted to do so today neither iTunes nor any other iPod transfer program (senuti, phone to mac, irip) can recognize it. The music is still on there and I can still listen to it, I just am unable to access it on my computer apparently. Is there any manual way to move the files? iTunes continues to suggest I restore my iPod, but I really don't want to lose the almost 3000 songs I have collected over the last 5 years. Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated!

Nevermind! I rebooted my iPod and my computer recognized it! Whew!

ITunes and other programs active at the same time

Is there any way to have iTunes accessible and running while another program is active. When using iTunes to hear a song for reference and using another music program (such as a music publishing program) , it is very cumbersome to continually go back and forth to each program.

Yes, and this free program will give you complete control of iTunes from the OS X menu bar: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/youcontroltunes.html

ITunes and other program links don't work

Hi guys,
After reinstalling OS X I stumbled upon the problem that for whatever reason Safari refuses to open Links that link to installed applications. Here's an example.
When open the iTunes webpage in Safari, look at an app and click "View in iTunes", the Tab then switches to "Top Sites" and nothing more happens. Same goes for email links. Furthermore, When I try to install an extension by downloading a .safariextz file and try tp open it, Safari does the same thing.
What is happening?! And how can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for helping!
<Post Edited By Host>

1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Turn those off and try.
2. Identify and remove adware

    or
   use Adware Removal Tool.

Problem fixing Lacie disk as storage directory for Itunes and other program

Hello,
I have a Lacie disk 250 GB, it works well but i don´t know why it creates different volumes, like "Lacie Disk 1", "Lacie Disk 2", etc. Like that untill 5! The problem is that once the system creates a new volume version, i can´t find the files in the older volume version. I have a lot of information in my "Lacie Disk 4" but can´t reach it. How can I do to enter to the Volumes folder from the finder? Thank u very much for assistance

Hi eww,
Sorry, i didn´t explained it very well, but the problem is that I don´t understand this problem too. So, to answer you. 1) I did not partitioned my disk ; 2) When I connect it, i have just "Lacie Disk" on my finder ; 3) When I mention "volumes" the thing is that when I want to choose a directory for my downloads or Itunes, it appears on Powerbook G4/Volumes/LacieDisk. But then, I try to find it on the Finder but I can´t see that folder "volumes".
I opened Disk utility, and just to show how it appears
"Mount Point : /Volumes/LaCie Disk 5". My problem is that i don´t know why, it changed from LaCieDisk 4 to 5, and that i have information on that one which I can´t see but know it is there.
Hope to be clearer now, but i´m not sure :)) If you want i can send u by email a photo of my problem

While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

I had this problem as well but found the soultion on another post from turingtest2 - it worked for me:
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

Indesign CS5 hangs after start - every time

My new CS5 Indesign hangs after start and I have to force quit the program. I've not been able to use this yet and wonders if anyone can help me?
When I start Indesign I can start a new document, but as soon as I interact with the program i hangs and won't quit unless I force quit. I've tried to open an already existing file - which never opens. I also tried to open Indesign from Finder, not from the Dock.
I hope anyone can help me with this.
Best,
R. Henriksen

I am having the same problem! Brand new iMac i7... installed CS5 from scratch (am not transferring over programs from the old machine; wanted this one to be super fresh & clean). Have used Photoshop and Illustrator so far fine.. but InDesign crashes as soon as I try to do something - I can create a new document, but as soon as I use the type tool, crash. Or, I can sometimes successfully open up an existing document (tried both CS4 & CS5 ones), but it crashes once loaded.
I've uninstalled. Then reinstalled. no luck.
I have not yet tried to disable Suitcase (Fusion 3). Will try this eve...
Hoping your problems have meanwhile been fixed. Any update?

Please help.

Update: I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?

ITunes error: This program can't start because iAdCore.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
