ITunes is installed but it will not start

I just updated iTunes and the progam shows as being installed but iTunes will not start.

I have had this problem - started two days ago. (Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.) I have not added anything new recently that could cause a conflict (upgrades, new software, etc). Suddenly it didn't work - will not open. In Windows Task Manager I can see that it starts and then stops without opening. I've plugged in my IPhone, IPad and IPod and nothing will connect. Some forum threads suggest removing/reinstalling QuickTime and some have found that to work. Didn't for me. It will open if "Run as Administrator" is used, but that - according to threads - suggests third-party add ons as a problem. Not the case with mine. I completely removed all of the ITunes software (Bonjour, Mobile Support, etc.) and reinstalled. Nothing changed. I am so frustrated with Apple on this - I found nothing in the support discussions to help. Quite frankly, I do not understand why Apple, with tech equipment that is so well designed and elegant, still puts out such a lousy piece of software that you are held hostage to use. I have hit a wall - I hope you get a response and help! I've run out of ideas!

I just upgraded LR5.7 to LR CC, but when installed, LR CC will not start. No error messages, no hour glass thinking. Nothing. It's just dead. I'm using Windows7. Any one else had the same problem?

That file is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio distributable package that is available from this link:

You need to upgrade your OS to this:

From there you upgrade iTunes, & you'll be able to sync your phone.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but it will not start up upon clicking

Firefox will not start up. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, done a system restore, and nothing works. I can use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and it works fine, but all of my saved information on Firefox is not available.

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

FIREFOX CRASHES WHEN I OPEN IT TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND RE INSTALL BUT IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL AND STILL WILL NOT WORK

EVERYTIME I TRY TO USE FIREFOX IT CLOSES IMMEDIATELY. I TRIED TO UNINSTALL IT BUT IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL. WHEN I TRIED TO RE DOWNLOAD IT AND RUN FIREFOX 4.0 IT WONT DO IT CAUSE IT SAYS ITS STILL TRYING TO DELETE THE OLD ONE AND KEEPS RESTARTING MY COMPUTER WITHOUT DELETING IT OR INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.

I would expect wording related to connection, but see

Firefox will not show a downloaded toolbar. It says it is installed but it will not put in on my toolbars.

I downloaded the ChaCha Guide Toolbar 1.2. It says it in installed and enabled, but it will not show up on my toolbar.

Every time Firefox opened
== The first time I tired

You can retrieve the certificate to check who issued the certificate.
You should always do that to see if that helps to identify the problem (missing intermediate certificate or something else).
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issue.
If you can't add an exception, but get a pop-up with the error message then you can check the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.xul.error_pages.enabled browser.xul.error_pages.enabled] on the about:config page and make sure that the value is set to the true (default).
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig

Just installed itunes successfully but know will not start, i a on windows 8, any one know why

cannot start itunes in window 8, why?

Hello there,
It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes after installing it on your PC. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot what you are seeing here named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting iTunes for 3rd party plug ins with this section:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
When you have done that, if the issue persists there are additional steps in the article to help isolate the issue and proceed according to those steps if needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

I have silverlight installed but it will not work.

I have silverlight Version: 5.1.30514.0 installed on a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Premium SP2 64bit.
I use this everyday for work. When I came in this morning. It wasn't working so naturally I looked for an update I ran the installer from the website which uninstalled Version: 5.1.30514.0 and attempted to install a 64 bit version. (I can not
determine whether my current version is 32 or 64 bit). It said it was not compatible with my OS (even though it is listed to be compatible under system requirements).
So I re-installed Version: 5.1.30514.0 through windows update but it will still not work.
Any ideas on how to fix this? The website that uses it is vital to my job. I really need to quick fix that isn't talking my company into buying a more up to date computer.

I've encountered a similar problem with Silverlight on my Vista PC.
Several weeks ago I read a brief item stating that Google would be dropping support for npapi and that it would affect Silverlight in April. One of my key daily apps uses Silverlight, but I didn't receive notification from that software's author about
the pending change and how it would be handled. Successfully used the app every week (Mon-Fri) this month for 8-10 hrs/dy day (as I've been doing for the past ~5+ years: past year under Chrome, year before that under FireFox, ~3 prior years under
IE) and on Fri 4/17 shut it down for the weekend. When I booted up on Mon morning and tried to log into the key app however, it prompted me to download and install Silverlight, acting as though I never had it installed! (And in fact, I couldn't
find it when looking under > Control Panel > Programs and Features!)
I recalled the earlier warning about Google dropping support, so I closed Chrome, started up FireFox, but got the same prompt from the app -- it directed me to install Silverlight. I downloaded it (had no choice as to which version, just got the "Silverlight_x64.exe"
file) and got part-way through the install when this error msg popped up: "Unable to Install Silverlight. Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight". WHAT?! According to > Control Panel
> System, I'm running "Windows Vista Home Premium", with a "System Type: 64-bit Operating System". I've been using this same Vista PC since Sep 2008 and running Silverlight for around the past 5 yrs.
Can someone explain why the Silverlight installer code doesn't deem Vista worthy of running its latest and greatest version?
Is there a way to get an older version of Silverlight that will run under Vista?
Is this just another means to a forced OS "upgrade"?
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug in, itunes recognizes it but it will not charge. The green light flashes a few times but then goes out. I'm not sure if the battery is dead or if something else can be done. Any advice?

To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery. Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery.

My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other. They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports. So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

Why does my .exe file run on the PC I created it on, which has LV installed, but it will not run on a PC which does not have LV installed?

I am trying to run a stand alone application on a PC which does not have Lab View installed. I created the executable file and the installer. However, when I run the .exe the VISA functions contained in the VI return error messages and the power supply I am trying to control does not respond. The stand alone application will run on a PC that has Lab View installed.
My application initially used a VISA resource control to selct the instrument GPIB address on the PC I used to create the application. Since the PC I am trying to run the .exe on has an older version of NI-MAX I cannot create aliases that the VISA control can interpret.I have tried to upgrade NI-MAX hoping that would solve my problem:
Here is what I tried:
uninstall NI-488 and NI-MAX ( if you want to uninstall MAX you must uninstall NI-488 ) reinstall NI-488 and NI-MAX Ver 3.1 then try to install NI-MAX version 4.1 which I downloaded from NI website. When I do this I get an error message when I try to run MAX. None of this worked so I hard coded the instrument address as a constant and again that works on the PC with LV installed but does not on the PC without LV.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like you do have the LabVIEW runtime engine installed. It might be that the VISA drivers you have are not compatible versions. In NIMAX, look under software to see what versions of VISA software you have installed on both systems.
It does not matter what version of NI MAX you have installed, since your application does not use NI MAX. NI MAX only helps you look at (or simulate) the hardware and software you have on your system.
One thing you could do is include drivers and the runtime engine while creating your installer. That way, you should be able to do a complete install on a clean system.

Newly installed OS X will not start up on new hard drive

Hello helpers,
I have many problems with my Power book g4 titanium. Most critical: I have just replaced my Hard drive with a new 120 gb. I also, purchased a new dvd OS X 10.4 full retail version. I installed it onto the new hard drive. It loaded properly and said to restart. Well thats it. It will not restart. It acts like it is going to restart. But, all I get is the apple with a little wheel timer thing. I waited for several hours and that is all it does. Please help.
Many grateful thanks,
Rembrandt0328

I suggest you re-prep your new drive then reinstall OS X.
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button and select the Apple Partition Map scheme, then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed and the new volume has re-mounted on the Desktop quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed to install OS X.
