ITunes does not respond when opening, but works in safe mode

Hey there
So over the last two days or so, my ITunes (Latest version 11.1.4.) on MacBook Pro opens fine but then as soon as I click whatever, it gets stuck on the spinning wheel. I have now read that you can open it in Safe Mode by shift-option-command and click on iTunes on the desktop, which works fine, but is not the ultimate solution.
Would you please have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?
Thank you very much already!
Kristin

(It may be reacting badly with the new iTunes version, even though it's been okay with earlier ones.)
b noir, just to confirm - the "Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle" is working very well on my Mavericks MBP with 11.1.4. Only the Music Visualizers bundles, that need iTunes to run 32bit mode, will no longer run in iTunes 11.1.4., e.g. the iVisualize bundle and the visualizers "Be Composed", etc.
Perhaps is something in the iTunes Visualizer folder, that uses quartz filters requiring advanced features of the graphics card, and therefore disabled in Safe Mode.

Lots of programs does not respond, when opened

Lots of programs does not respond, when they are opened, Apple store, Mail, Photo Booth and VideoConverterPro and some moor.
To close, I have to click on finder first. What to do ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

It worked. Didn't need to remove the tablet.
Thanks for the insight.

0xc0000022 Error when attempting to open, but works in safe mode

Hello All,
I have had an issue opening IE and Firefox from my laptop computer for a few months now...When I click on IE to open a browser window it appears to initiate, the window opens, stays white, show the mouse icon like it is calculating something and then it disappears...on the flip side if I click on the Firefox icon the browser window never appears and I get an error message stating 0xc0000022. I have tried everything I can to remedy this issue from uninstalling firefox and IE from my machine and re-installing to making sure profile folders, etc have been deleted after an un-install of firefox. I did notice that if I go to RUN and attempt to access the firefox profile manager that I get the same error code popping up.
I believe it has something to do with a system update, thinking microsoft update from around August. With that being said I have gone in and removed every update I saw from August and still no luck. Not sure if it helps, but I did notice that I had installed (automatically) the 2975719 microsoft update, which was on a list of not ones you want....
I would appreciate any help I can get to have both of these browsers operate once again! I am currently using Chrome (which I was able to install after all of this began), but I really need the other browsers for testing for my job, so again any help would be greatly appreciated!
Using Sony Vaios laptop and Windows 8.1...
Firefox works fine when in safe mode (with and without networking). I have also tried to disable graphics acceleration and nothing seems to work.
Thanks ahead of time!

I wonder whether anyone has good documentation or a good comparison tool for Windows Safe Mode vs. regular mode? Microsoft's help article isn't really that helpful:
''If the problem doesn't occur when you restart your PC in safe mode, you can be confident that the basic settings, files, and drivers in Windows aren't causing the problem. Then, use the process of elimination to help you find the cause of the problem. Try starting all of the apps on your desktop that you commonly use one by one (including the apps in your Startup folder) to see if a specific app might be causing the problem. If one of the apps is causing the problem, uninstall it or contact the software publisher.''
One possibly useful tool would be Autoruns, which lists what starts automatically and allows you to disable things. You can find it on Microsoft's site here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Based on experience in the Windows XP days, I don't have much confidence in Windows' System Restore feature, so I'm not sure whether to suggest it in this case. If you are inclined to try it, please make a backup of your Firefox settings because that folder will get rolled back, which could cause data loss (e.g., recent bookmarks, history, etc.). See: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

After installing Lion 10.7, I find that whenever I try to change the desktop wallpaper in system preferences, it freezes and I have to force quit it.
I tried to find the systempreferences.plist, as seen from google searches, but I can't find it anywhere, and those seem to be solutions for SL, L or Tiger.
Help appreciated.
Thanks!

I've been having the same issue with system preferences in osx lion freezing and not doing anything for the past week. Your post solved the problem; all I had to do was move the iphoto library and the photo booth library to the desktop, then I moved them back to my pictures folder in the finder window. Now system preferences works like a charm, even if I restart the system the system preferences utilities are all accessible.
This solved the problem; whereas other posts that had me use disk utility to repair the hard drive or repair the disk permissions didn't solve the issue.
This now saves me a call to apple tech support
Thank you.

Re: System Preferences not responding when opening desktop
Jul 23, 2011 1:27 PM (in response to alexhung)
It has to do with a problem accessing the images on the home>images folder. To solve it, just move its content (iphoto library included) to another place. Then, restart System Preferences. Moving your iPhoto library to another location seems to fix the problem. I am sure Apple will issue an update to correct this problem. But, for now this seems to work for me.
