Itunes crashed, now programs that run on startup crash

hi,
I just installed itunes for my new ipod mini, and while going through my library (my music) i received an error message that advised that there may be a problem with my hardware.
I managed to close itunes, and noticed that there were only 13 songs on my ipod mini, not 800. When I went to download more songs, I recieved the generic "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message.
I rebooted my computer, and noticed that I got the same message for three other programs that load upon my computer startup. My windows messenger is also no longer working on my computer, but my internet is still ok.
I have Norton '05 and windows firewall, and have disabled both, to no avail. I have also uninstalled my ipod, and itunes/quicktime and still get the message. booting to last known good configuration doesn't help either.
This morning, my computer was fine, now everything is crashing upon startup, and I have no more messenger! Can somebody please help me!!!

hi b,
Thanks for the reply. I think I figured out what happened. Somehow, when I installed the itunes/quicktime software or ipod hardware my computer managed to talk itself into thinking that the year was 9999!
I'm not sure if anybody else has come across this, or what changed the date, but my itunes seems to work now, as well as my MSN Messenger. I'm using the computer right now, and can't reboot, but I'm sure that when I do, it will be fine again.
I guess I have to laugh, after spending all night searching the registry and disabling software/hardware to test for conflicts that it was the date on my computer!
Thanks for the input, and your time b. noir!
w. rouge (with embarrassment)

    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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Several programs are running at Startup

    Hi Everyone, I truly need your assistance as I am a novice to the internal workings (system Admin) of the computer (Windows 7). My computer is performing terribly and when I check the "troubleshoot" system it tells me that "SEVERAL PROGRAMS
    ARE RUNNING AT STARTUP". I know this a simple "fix" if you know what you are doing but I don't.  Please help me....someone.
    How do you know which programs are the ones needed at STARTUP?.
    Newcomer Bev

    It the Resume feature.
    When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
    Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
    Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
    If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
    Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
    defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    Press return.
    You can also accomplish this through the GUI by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit and delete that file…
    (note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
    To turn off Resume globally...
    chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
    Press return
    The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
    The reverse of the second one is
    chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
    Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.

  • A Java program that runs automatically at a given time of day

    Okay Iam at the ending stages of a Java Assignment that is a MySql database, Hibernate for Mapping with a Java Server Faces front-end. All I need to do now is send emails at set time every week. Normally I know what to search for but frankly Iam stumped. Iam really just looking for a starting point for something that can run a Java Program at a set time of the week. PS my OS is Ubuntu if that is relevant but I was hoping for something that isn't platform specific so that it is portable.
    Cheers in advance.

    You can use the possibilities of your operating system, in this case Ubuntu.
    Just drop a shell script that runs your java program in the /etc/cron.weekly directory.

  • Anybody know of a swimming pool design program that runs on Mac operating system?

    Anyone know of a swimming pool design software that runs on Mac?

    The problem was that I kept getting the black screen of death, once while using Photoshop, the next 3 or 4 times on start-up, I couldn't keep the computer running. Starting it up with the install disk worked, and it seems to be more stable now, however, I haven't really done much in Photoshop since.
    I know that Photoshop, especially when I use the Transform tool, will crash a lot, and often enough take the whole system down with it. But it usually works again on restart.
    The test comes when I have another batch of photos to process. Unfortunately, business is a bit slow right now, so I don't have anything coming up soon.
    Does Onyx do about the same job as Disk Utility? Is it any better? Or just have different options? I did download that one too, and the disk appears to be fine now.

  • I have a program that runs in Java Console. I need to run multiple copies of the program. I can't do this with tabs. Can I do it with separate windows/processes

    The program in question was implemented as a Java applet that runs in a browser. The developer says it must run under the Java Console and that I cannot run more than one copy of it in a given browser technology (e.g., Firefox); but I can run multiple copies if I use, eg, Firefox for one, IE 32 bit for another, Chrome for a 3rd and IE 64 bit for a 4th. I have tested this, and this does work.
    Why would it not be the case if I spawned a completely different Firefox instance/process? When asked this question, the developer said, no, you have to run a different browser implementation to get a distinct Java Console for each one.
    Does this make sense in general, or, more importantly, is it true for Firefox?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    It is working for me if I open a second Firefox instance with its own profile by starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch.

    Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously.

  • How can you repair a pages document that crashes the program so it won't crash anymore

    I have a Pages file 09' that crashes the program. I want to keep the file because of the time spent on it and formatting it. I am using a iMac with OS 10.8. I called support and they told me there was a Pages 11 out. I could not find it in the app store. I am using Pages version 4.3. This is the latest version I can find. You know the one, the one with the broken spellcheck program. I need to find a file repair utility. I do not want to just save the text. I want to save the file. Thanks.

    I said you were using Snow Leopard because that is what is listed at the bottom of your first post. I don't know if it's just me, but I do find it difficult to edit that information since these forums moved to the current format.
    I don't rely on the spell checker, mostly because spelling has always been a forté. Pages uses the system spell checker & does pick up the typos I make, so I don't know what to say about that.
    Since the file can be opened biut crashes when editing it, you might try an old trick that often worked with AppleWorks & I've known of it working with Pages, too. Save the file with a slightly different name as an iWork '08 file format & then open that copy in your current Pages. You do not need to have Pages '08 to do this. In Mountain Lion, hold down the Option/alt key while clicking on the File menu & choose Save As…, check the box next to Save a copy as: & select iWork '08 from the drop-down menu like in this screenshot. This can often correct minor corruption.

  • Which programs should run at startup on a new macbook?

    I accidently deleted one of the programs, which ran at startup. I don't know what it was.
    So - which programs would normally run at startup on a brand-new macbook?

    If it were me I would definitely have gotten the 8 GB, even before upgrading the storage. You can always use flash drives/external hard drives if you need additional storage, but you can never upgrade the RAM.

  • Has anybody know for program that runs Tomoview on Mac

    Dear All,
    Does anybody know for a program, that can runs Tomoview on Mac computers?

    It is not available for the Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
