ITunes is failing to start, Please Help!

Ok, I am having trouble opening up iTunes. First, when I clicked on the icon to start iTunes, a window came up saying, "The procedure entry point OpenServiceW could not be located in the dynamic link library MPlugin.dll." I didnt know how to fix this, so I posted a message on the 'Using iTunes for Windows' on the Discussion board. The reply that I recieved was "Delete MPlugin.dll from C:/Program Files/iTunes/Plugins/" I did that, and now, when I try to start iTunes, it says, "This application has failed to start because MPlugn.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Im not sure if it is telling me to re-install iTunes, or if i should repair iTunes.... I have no clue. Please help!

I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy and don't want to edit it. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
"this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" or "My Computer"; i'm not sure which search will pop up your itunes files. Try them both. And then type in the "all or part of the file name" box, itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search, use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've already restarted your computer once (according, to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Good luck and ask me anything if you have some questions!!"
Let me know if it works or not. Again, good luck!
Remember, this is just a suggestion, it's up to you if you want to do it or not.

  • Xorg failed to start :: Please help

    Hi there, I have been trying to start X for more than 3 days and I can't seem to find a solution to this. Sorry for my english and please can someone give me some tips on this. Here's my setup:
    [root@ViruSzZ ~]# lspci | grep -i vga
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]
    I installed Intel's and Ati's video drivers. I also tried using the ati's git version but none of them worked. Here's the /var/log/Xorg.0.log without using xorg.conf [ http://pastebin.com/wb4pqz69 ] and here's the ones using xorg.conf [ http://pastebin.com/wPULBM0z ] and the logfile [ http://pastebin.com/U4MN2ByM ].
    I setup the above xorg.conf because when I try to generate it I get the following:

    Finally, I booted into DE (gnome in this moment). I needed to add the following inside my rc.local
    modprobe radeon
    echo "OFF" > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
    After that gnome started successfully but the screen remained black (no brightness at all). I fixed the brightness with the following command:
    echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    can someone explain why is this strange behavior ? I can manage to get all this steps automated and switch between the cards via vga_switcheroo, the only pain I have was the X server.
    I am really really appreciated to this community. If there are some other tips on this please let me know.

    I upgraded to iOS 7 yesterday on my iphone and now none of my apps shows me any new message and when i open the apps it says "Connect to itunes for push notifications". Please help!!!

    Same here.  I don't know how to solve the problem, but I figured out a way to close the app without re-starting or resetting the phone.  If you click ok and then press the home button twice really fast before the dialog box shows back up, you can put the phone in multi-tasking mode and close the app without having the shut the phone off or reset it.  Anxiously awaiting the fix for this since I have several apps I use that I can access at the moment.

    You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
    you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
    then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

    That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

    Without knowing current status of the iPod:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next.

    Here's a nifty agorithm to fill an array of primes, using a forever loop with a labeled continue statement, from Horton's Beginining Java:public class MorePrimes
      public static void main(String[] args)
        long[] primes = new long[20];    // Array to store primes
        primes[0] = 2;                   // Seed the first prime
        primes[1] = 3;                   // and the second
        int count = 2;                   // Count of primes found - up to now,
                                         // which is also the array index
        long number = 5;                 // Next integer to be tested
        outer:
        for( ; count < primes.length; number += 2)
          // The maximum divisor we need to try is square root of number
          long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));
          // Divide by all the primes we have up to limit
          for(int i = 1; i < count && primes[i] <= limit; i++)
            if(number%primes[i] == 0)             // Is it an exact divisor?
              continue outer;              // yes, try the next number
          primes[count++] = number;               // We got one!
        for(int i=0; i < primes.length; i++)
