Itunes crashes before it can open

Hi,
Dell Dimension with Windows Vista
I just upgraded Itunes and I try to open it and it says a problem has caused Itunes to stop working and no solution can be found. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times now with no luck. Also when I start my computer the Itunes helper module crashes just as it's starting up and any attempt to get it working again fail. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
Please Help!!!

I'm having a very similar problem. A night or two ago I did a system update and since then I can't get Safari, iTunes or my Word to open. I don't know if there are any other applications affected, I don't really care, these are the ones I use practically everyday.
I did try to look at my activity monitor too since the spinning beachball and Safari closing on me was a common thing, and I did look at the inactive processes, and I did try to quit some of the processes that were under my name, since I could not log into the root user. So I probably messed something up there, but anyway...
I tried to restart, unplug the AC/remove the battery and hold power for 5 seconds, do the entire create a new account thing, delete the com.apple.safari.plist and no success. I also tried to do the repair permissions thing and it says "Repairing permissions for "Macintosh HD" Error: No valid packages Permissions repair complete.
Another weird thing is that the clock and airport icons are gone again from my bar. I had to put them back yesterday.
I know I will probably have to reinstall everything, I tried to do that, but I lost my discs in my move, so I know I will probably have to drive 3 hours to take it to a genius to fix, but I was hoping someone would have some clue or insite as to what I can do to try and fix this situation. I love my mac and my boyfriend is getting one this weekend (converted him from PC), so I don't want him to think they are bad at all!! Thanks.

  • Adobe in design cs2  crashes before it  can open - Please HELP!!

    Dear Wise ones:
    I have been using my ID CS2 for years and all of  a sudden I went to open it one day and it crashed before it opened.  I tried this several times, sent  crash reports to Adobe but when there  was no response from them I decided to try to reinstall the suite.   I did this according to the instructions (deleted the files/folders as per the instructions, uninstallled acrobat etc), then tried to open the newly re-installed InDesign  but it CRASHED again.  I called Adobe today and after being on hold for 35 minutes was told they could not help me with CS2 and I should try the forum so here I am.
    Attached is today's crash report.  It starts  with

    etc. etc. (as mentioned, full report is attached)
    So far, the othe programs in CS2 open.
    Please please help me.  I have a show that opens in the beginning of March and I depend on In Design to make my artwork.
    Believe me , if I could afford to go out and upgrade my MAC and version of CS, I would but unfortunately I cannot do that at this time.
    Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
    I truly appreciate your time and assistance.
    Thank you,

    To me this implies something wrong with a plugin or a system library. Did you delete InDesign and your ~/Library/Adobe/InDesign folders before re-installing? Otherwise there might be something wrong with your OS...

  • My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. HELP

    My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. Just installed the latest version 10.5.1. I can't even get it to open to try and figure out what is wrong. Can I uninstall it and reinstall the less recent version which was working? Help!!
    I am not a computer guru, the reason that I love my MacBook Pro is that I don't have to worry about it, now I am worrying, because I can't get into my itunes at all. I would trash the new version of itunes and find an older version (I did try reinstalling 10.5.1) as long as I was reassured that I wouldn't lose all my music.
    Thanks all.

    Sorry to hear.
    Wow, first iPad crisis with vs 5 & 501, now this?
    I see the update waiting right now for my MBP, and is why I'm here to see what's up.
    On the software update panel, it's all about cloud service.
    Looks like 10.5 is the end of the road for me.
    I can see having gaming on cloud, but with the work I put into my tunes, no way.
    We'll see how people react as time goes, and the next crisis.

  • Ipad 2 with version 8.1.3;  update to take out bugs etc and now every time I click on an app it asked for my itunes id before I can get it to open;  any help would be appreciated

    I did the update to take out bugs etc;  now when I try to open an app, it asks for my Itunes ID before it will open;  this is a pain;  has anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this,  assistance gratefully appreciated, thanks

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • When I close a site, I cannot open a new site as it says there is another page open. It takes several minites before I can open a new site.

    Hello, When I have a site open and wish to close it, the window closes but if I want to immediately open a new site, I get an error box saying that Firefox is already open. I usually takes several minutes for the close process to work properly before I can open a new site url.
    I also have been having system crashes when I am looking at video--can be news reports, video on my harddrive, or any other streaming video I may be watching. Is this due to Firefox or can you say?
    Thanks so much for your help.

    To uninstall PE12 on a MAC, can I just drag the PE12.app to the trash?
    No! That will give you no end of trouble and will not fix anything. If you ever do need to uninstall you MUST use the uninstaller in applications>adobe photoshop Elements 12.
    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete the following:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.12.0.plist
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer.12.plist
    and any lockfiles with the same names. That library is hidden. To see it, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
    While you're in there go to the saved application states folder and delete any pertaining to PSE. Y
    Repair permissions and try again. You will need to select your catalog on first opening organizer.

    I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
    iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
    Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

  • Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document.  I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions.  Whats up?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Since the last update my Numbers app in IOS, iPad3 and iphone5 will not open.  It works fine on my macbook pro.  It starts but before I can open a file it closes.

    Since the last update my Numbers app will not load in either my iPad3 or my iPhone5.  It works fine on my MacBook Pro.  The app starts but before I can open a file it closes.  Is this a common problem and do you know hwo to solve it?

    Hi Michael,
    If you've already restarted both your iOS devices after the update and Numbers for iOS still won't load, you might try clearing the documents temporarily out of iCloud, opening the apps, closing them, and then placing the documents back in iCloud.
    To do this, in Finder on your Mac, hold down the option key and then Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.  Move the documents there out to the Desktop or other location of your choosing.  Then give iCloud time to sync.  Then try opening Numbers on iPad and on the iPhone.  If they open, then close them, and move the documents back into  Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and let iCloud sync again.
    That sometimes clears up the problem.
