Hi Neo and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Sounds like your Finder preferences are corrupted. It happens ... try this: Locate this file:
com.apple.finder.plist It's located here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash and reboot.
Sounds like your Fonts are acting up... do the same thing using the same path:
Locate this file: com.apple.fontbook.plist /Home/Library/Preferences.
And this file: com.apple.itunes.plist /Home/Library/Preferences. Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
If you still have problems with the Finder and iTunes, create a new user, name it "test", logon to it and see if you can launch a Finder window and iTunes from that user. If you can, then the problem only exists in your /Home folder.
Also, run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) and Repair Disk Permissions.
Hope this helps!
Carolyn

Hello candymerna,
At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

Unless you're trying to tether your phone to your computer or create a personal hotspot, it won't pair with your computer by bluetooth. File transfer by bluetooth is not supported. So, you can quit trying unless you're trying to tether.

ITunes doesnt work with my iPod!!! Help please!

ok...i have tried to plug my iPod into my computer lately, and iTunes doesnt recongnize that my iPod is plugged in!!! i have pretty much de-bugged the problem...its not any of my USB ports b/c other hardware (digital camera etc...) work in them...and its not the computer...but it could possibly be iTunes. if i delete and re-install my iTunes software do i loose all my songs? and w/out loosing all my songs etc is there anything i can do to fix this?
i have also tried resetting my iPod multiple times, but that doesnt work so...the only other thing i can think that could have happened is: i got an iHome a few months ago, and ever since that i have had the problem...so that could have messed something up...can u help?

Does the text on your iPod show up grey in iTunes? Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

I just downloaded the newest itunes on my acer lap top and I also did a software update on my ipod, but everytime I try to plug my ipod in my computer itunes doesnt work and sync. Help!!

I just downloaded the newest itunes software on my Acer Lap top, and also did a software update IOS 6.0.1 on my ipod thats 4th generation. Everytime I try to hook my ipod to the computer it doesnt work and I'm not sure why. Help!!

What do you mean by "it doesnt work"?

I have a pc and now itunes doesnt work. I have removed and tried deleting itunes and reinstalling and doesnt work

I have a Pc and been running Itunes off of it for years. Now it doesn't work. It doesn't run stating it is missing something. I have deleted the itunes and reinstalled and have run the repair as well and it doesnt work. I am not pleased. I need help!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

People Cannot Hear Me When I make Calls on iPhone 4, Bought a new iPhone 4, uploaded all of my own information from the backup, and it still doesnt work, help!

I went in to apple, they couldnt figure it out, I am on AT&T so I was figuring on going into their store today and seeing if its something with the network, if not I am going back to apple, but this is literally a brand new phone i bought yesterday, not refurbished or anything, brand new, does anyone know why this isnt working? Everything else works fine, the mics both work, its just when I make calls or someone calls me the mic doesnt work.

When you see the same issue on more than one hardware device, it means that the problem is likely to exist outside of the hardware. Two things to investigate would be the software/firmware on the backup and issues with the cellular network. It's probably safe to rule out the cellular network as well.
First, make sure that you have imported copies of all the information (pictures, videos, documents) on the device. Do this thorough itunes, and the applications (photographic and document processing) on your computer. Perform a firmware update then restore the device as new. If the problem persists, then you may actually have the worst luck and discovered two devices with an identical issue.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!. Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

My phone went blank and now will only show the apple logo I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work HELP!!!!

My iPhone is frozen. It was working find about a hour ago and then for no reason the screen went to the apple logo. I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work. When I press the power/lock button and the center key it turns off but then it comes right back to the apple logo screen and wont go any further. Please help I dont have my stuff saved and would like to keep the stuff i do have on it!!! Every once in awhile the screen will go black for a few seconds then the apple logo pops right back up! I dont know what to do.....

Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

I droped my z10 in the water screen touch doesnt work HELP!

I accedently dropped my z10 in the toilet. I put it in rice for 3 days. the screen turns on and you can see everything on there but when i try swiping to unlocking it or answering calls where the calling swipe appears the touch swipe doesnt work on that part so it wont allow me to answer calls of unlock? what should i do? Please help I love my z10!

More time in the rice.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

My itunes doesnt work

Indesign CS6 crashed, can't be started again (missing required fonts, cmap files). Reinstalled -- doesnt work. help?

hi,
my indesign CS6 worked perfectly until yesterday afternoon, when it suddenly crashed and wont open again. all it says is "There are required system fonts or cmap files missing. reinstall indesign". Did that, with the cc cleaner, but that doesnt work!
working on windows 7, sp1 -- never had any problems.
all i can find in other forums is about the cs2, which is fairly outdated. why does this happen?! all my other programs from the master collection work fine!

ok, after a quite frustrating weekend the problem seems to have solved itself. what i did (for future requests):
- downloaded cs6 master collection (since i had my cds not with me)
- deinstalled old install
- wiped the system with the adobe cc cleaner tool to get everything off
- restart
- install cs6
- same error. no chance of doing anything.
i then installed a trial version on another computer to at least render my pdf. i then tried something new: i put the cmap & fonts (in C:/Programs/Common Files/Adobe/PDFL) from the working pc on a usb drive. when i "backed up" my PDFL Folder on my main pc into a zip (just in case), i gave indesign another try. it then started up -- since it was the first time a bit slower than usual, but it's back on track.

My itunes downloads, then says cant open, needs app support download ,uninstall and load again doesnt work, help!

cant download itunes when installed it says it is missing support files ,help

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
