Itunes closes with an error message after installation

Right basically had the whole updater ruining my ipod problem, finally got a replacement today. Problem is when i spoke to apple tech support, for an 1 hour and 20 minutes the guy was getting me to mess about with my installation of itunes and system restores and using a few tools to get rid of traces of the program (this was before i sent it off etc), so i send it off, get it back, and my itunes will not even open now, i did happen to notice this after finishing following his advice on the phone, but was ignoring until i actually received my replacement. Basically when i start itunes, it comes up with the standard "this program has encountered an error and needs to close". i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, different versions of itunes, going through my registry manually and deleting entries, but it still has the same error. Anyone any ideas, i really do not want to reinstall windows again thanks in advance.

I don't know if any of this will help, but the first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistance the next time you run it and you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
Hope this helps.

    I have a PrPr project on an external GTech drive connected via USB which ran fine on my old MBP in PrPr CC 2014. When I open this project on the new MBP I cannot render or export without getting error message "Video Preview Error; Error Unknown."
    If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like the project file was created on your previous MBP, and saved to that external USB (hopefully 3.0?) drive.  Is that correct?  Where did you have the media, scratch, etc files located on that previous MBP?  I'm wondering if Pr on the new MBP is tripping over itself trying to find other data that it might need?
    Also when the Warp Stabilizer effect is applied, it generates black lines across the video in the program window. This happens when using either Mercury Playback Open CL and/or Cuda. However if I switch to Mercury Playback Software only, everything is fine but of course much slower. In addition, if I remove the effects from the sequence: Warp Stabilizer and auto colour and levels, the sequence exports fine regardless of whether Mercury Playback Open CL and/or Cuda or Software only.
    What about other accelerated effects?  Can you apply any of them individually without getting black lines in the program window?  Further, have you tried installing the previous version of Pr CC to see if the same issues exist?  You'd have to create a new Pr project, as the 2014 project files aren't backward compatible.  But it might be interesting to see if you're experiencing the same problems with the older Pr.

  • Itunes - Keep getting an error message after installation

    Hi there, I have Vista and have downloaded the latest itunes package and then installed it on my pc, everyting installs ok, but then when i click the icon to launch the program i get a message saying there should be a folder called itunes which is usually located in the "music" folder. I checked and it is not there so I have created the folder and tried again, that has not worked, i still get the same message every time. I have uninstalled three times and re installed but that does not work either, am i doing something wrong?
    Any help would be welcome.
    Thanks all

    After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
    The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
    Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

  • Trying to update frpm itunes 10 to itunes11, but get error message after installation

    I am trying to update my itunes to be compatible with my replaced iphone 4s (apllecare replacement) that is not compatible with my current iTunes 10.6.  I have tried several times to upload th enew version of iTunes to no avial getting an error message after a "successful installation" and the itunes reverts to 10.6.  Since my imac was an older unit I had to update to OSX 10.6.8 (sucessfully) and increase my RAM.  I am 120bucks in the hole plus the 49 dolar surcharge for the iphone replacement and i am still no closer to restoring my phone.  Help please

    First backup your music and content.
    Then delete iTunes 10.6 Drag the application from Finder > Applications to Trash. Empty Trash
    Try and install 10.7 first iPhone 4s will work with this. You can find the download here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
    Install it. Does itunes 10.7 now appear? Is your content all there? Connect up your iPhone and start syncing.
    From there if you want to you can upgrade to iTunes 11 but it is only necassary if you have an iPhone 5

  • Every night at 7pm CST/midnight GMT, Firefox closes with no error message, or warning message. All add-ons have been disabled. Running Win7 with Firefox.

    I have already disabled all ad-ons, one at a time (11 total) to see if any of them caused the error. None did. I have already checked all programs, including antivirus to see there was a timed action that was triggering the shut down. When it does shut down, I receive no error messages or warnings about muliti-tab shutdown. Every time, Firefox simply closes. When I re-open Firefox, I do not receive the option (which I have set) to restore my tabs. No other programs are affected. I am happy to provide any more information, just let me know what you need. The Troubleshooter data below is from 1.5 hours after the most recent Firefox shutdown.

    I have '''exactly''' the same problem as you do, and it also happens in other browsers as well (I use Internet Explorer and Google Chrome too).
    Most of the times, the restore previous session option is grayed out, but other times it automatically asks me if I want to restore the previous session. When I click 'Yes', it restores all the tabs of the previous session alongside a new one, open in the following site: http://krzemik.pl/
    The site is Polish, but I don't even live in Poland.
    The site says it's safe, but I'm suspicious it distributes some kind of adware that causes this problem. I've already reported it, though.
    I also have another problem that, whenever I search for something that contains the word 'virus' on a search engine, the browser is automatically shut within 1 or 2 seconds without any kind of warning or error message, I also can't open one of my antispyware programs (AdAware, to be exact), as it is immediately closed as if I had clicked the 'X', per say, even in Safe Mode. I'm also prevented from using my backup restore function in the control panel, or even using commands to activate it. I've fully scanned my computer in Safe Mode using another antispyware (SuperAntispyware) twice, and nothing as solved the problem.
    I'm not sure if these problems are interconnected, though.

  • Dbca unexpectedly closes with out error message (solution found)

    Well I was finally able to get some more info. By starting dbca from the cmd prompt I got an error message in the cmd window and a log file name. Had one of my Java developers look at it and problem solved.
    Now I know you all waiting to here the solution... Has to do with windows security...
    I am part of the domain admin group that group is part of the local admin group but that was not good enough I must be explicitly added to the local admin group.

  • Trying to upgrade an itunes download and getting error message "windows installer did not finish as expected.  contact person or vendor"

    trying to upgrade my ITunes for my Iphone and cannot access content.   During upgrade getting message "windows installer did not finish as expected..contact vendor"

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Error Messages After Installation

    So it seems like everything was installed from my CS5.5 installation except InDesign (due to comp. requirements it states), Photoshop, and Acrobat. So I got back and choose to install Acrobat and Photoshop only and I keep getting this list of error messages:

    I looked around and I saw a few people say that it could be because I have a higher verison of Flash Player previously installed on my computer so I removed them and I'm still getting the error message.
    What's going on?

    You are right with the details about the reason of install fail , however use the Flash player uninstaller to remove the Flash player completly , restart the computer and then try to install the software again.

    If your product is Photoshop Elements, then you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (probably quicker choice) or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and then move it from here to there.

  • Photos are there but the videos are appearing as blank icons with an error message after the upgrade to Yosemite

    I bought myself a new MacBook Pro and migrated everything from a Time Capsule/Time Machine migration.  My previous computer was slowly dying so I had backed it up although it was running Mavericks.  I migrated everything to the new computer from a Time Machine backup - all my photos and files are there - but in iPhoto, the videos (taken with a camera as .MOV files which usually appear in iPhoto) are appearing as blank icons.  When I click on them, I get the error message, "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)" and the video doesn't play or appear.  The video does, however, appear when I click on "Reveal in Finder - Original File" - so the files are there - they just aren't being compatible with my iPhoto in Yosemite.
    Any idea why?

    Do you still have access to the old system? If so drag the iPHtoo library on the new system to the desktop and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • HT1925 I am unable to start my Itunes and keep getting error messages after an update faiked to load correctly.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it still getting these messages.  Please Help.

    I am not able to load I Tunes.....I attempted to uograde and now am unable to start Itunes....I uninstalled it and reinstalled no luck. HELP?

    Follow the below procedure if you are using a Windows based PC.   I did not develop it, another forum user did, but I did insert 1 additional step in case you use a 3rd party software package to give your apple devices "Airprint" capability for your non Air Print capable printers (Such as Fingerprint).
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    Remove any 3rd party software which uses Airprint features (such as Fingerprint by Collobos)
    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.

  • Firefox 31 hangs on startup with no error messages

    Simply put, Firefox hangs right on startup. I see it loading the two generic tabs and then the wheel spins and then it says 'Not Responding' on the top of the window. I have to force close it each and every time, and I've also tried the following solutions in no particular order to alleviate the issue:
    1) Ran SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes last night for any possible infections. Reported back with nothing.
    2) Booted my laptop up in Safe Mode (with networking) and still couldn't get it to operate.
    3) Performed several clean uninstalls and re-installations which also included clearing out the profiles altogether and then trying to open it again, nothing.
    4) Booted up Firefox by holding down the shift key and resetted it to its default settings and then tried firing it up again. Nothing.
    5) Attempted booting up FF in Safe Mode with the shift key, nothing.
    6) Created a new profile and tried booting FF, nothing.
    7) Read this article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hyper-Threading about Hyper-Threading and followed the instructions which got it to operate, but I can't access the toolbar or the option menus. When I click on options Firefox closes with no error messages. I have a feeling this isn't the issue at hand but I figure I'd try it and at least I can get it to fully load and not hang.
    8) Deleted all Firefox extensions and Plug-ins, nothing.
    9) Enabled Firefox through firewall and antivirus settings, nothing.
    10) Updated my BIOS firmware as suggested in #7, nothing.
    I've done almost 10 different things and I still can't figure out why Firefox keeps hanging on startup. I've looked into Youtube videos for tutorials and others posted about the Java crashing that was happening in an earlier version of FF. Since its not crashing, I'm unable to look into the crash logs and pinpoint a crash number or anything because it just freezes and when I click to close it I get a message saying: 'Close program' or 'Wait for it to respond.'
    I'm running a 64 bit Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion g6-1c44wm Notebook PC

    Try to completely uninstall firefox, that means to '''delete''' the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory#Windows Installation directory] located for your 64bit in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ , also, '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox and '''if exist''', '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

  • Safari comin up with weird alert message after 10.4.3 update

    after installing the OS 10.4.3 update safari comes up with alert message when launched: Safari 2.0.2 (v416.12) has not been tested with the plugin (null) (null) (v0.51). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer for further information.

    I have the same error message for the "(null) (null)" plugin, different version number. I suspect there are going to be a lot of these as people update to 10.4.3.
    How do we go about removing these plug-ins, or at least this paticular one, so we do not have to deal with the error message after starting up Safari every time? Under Help => Installed Plug-ins, I see it lists plug-ins from a Plug-ins.html file within the Safari.app package, but it's not clear how to manually manage them. I do not want to uncheck in Preferences all the Safari Plug-ins from loading. For this particular error, I'm not sure I want to mess with SIMBL.bundles...
