  • ITunes Producer - Unable to Open Package

    Good afternoon,
    I'm trying to put my book in the apple store, but when I open my iTunes Producer, comes the message.
    Unable to Open Package
    There was a problem opening the package / Users / ... / Desktop / file.itmsp:
    Your Apple ID, "my email" is not authorized to use this feature for the publication package.
    If you have an Apple ID that supports this feature for the publication package, try again using That account.
    Anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    I guess Apple decided to hiccup and I was able to log in.  This was not the first time I tried this procedure, but this is how it happened.  I was not able to log in after the export from iBooks Author.  I closed iTunes Producer and then opened it through Launchpad.  I logged in with the account that is set up for the book, selected open package, and, I'll be danged if it didn't open this time.  Unbelievable...  I don't think it is what I did.  I think Apple hiccuped or cleared her throat. 

  • I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 and I am unable to open iTunes on my phone - the screen just never loads.

    I installed iOS7 on my iPhone5 and now I am unable to open iTunes - the screen just stays blank.
    I have checked date and time and wifi settings.
    Not sure what else to do.
    I do have iMatch active on my device and its working fine on my other iPohne with iOS7 installed.
    Any help please!

    Have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in ? If it's still the same after that then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT5654 when I go to my Itunes update I am unable to open because of the message MSVCR80 is missing...which is why I am doing the research...to discover how to recover the missing file.

    I keep getting the familiar message "MSVCR80  file is missing...I have read that the most recent update of I-tunes around January had a compatibility issue with Windows 7.  Consequently the updates did not load properly.  I am unable to open my I-Tunes Updates because of this stated file missing.  Like a dog chasing its own tail.     I have seen several suggestions including copying my I-Tunes tunes and totally dumping I-Tunes and all related files then downloading it as new. I also read that I may cause other programs to have issues  as some files are shared across programs/apps and so removing ALL of I-Tunes can cause loss of operation of other apps .  Can anyone verify the latter and assist with the initial problem of getting rid of the message regarding MSVCR80 with a good and lasting fix?

  • I just updated my itunes and now I am unable to open any of my songs... please help me.

    i just updated my itunes and now I am unable to open any of my songs... please help me. Every time i click it, it says it cannot be read because it was made by a newer version of itunes.

    Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
    IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
    Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
    Then:
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
    Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

    Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

  • I am unable to open the latest update (10.4) iTunes not properly configured

    when I attempt to open it says iTunes was not properly configured and then close - I can't reinstall 10.2 since 10.4 in installed; it won't repair because mid-way thorugh it pops up "itunesresources is not an accessible file... make sure you have access to this file" and stops the repair.
    any thoughts?
    I HAVE used 10.4 since upgrading - I shut down my computer; when I rebooted a few days later, this is what happened...

    Hey there Mambo822,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after installing a recent update. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
      iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
    Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
    Can anyone please help?

  • HT1199 iTunes unable to open due to DEP

    I am unable to open iTunes after installing due to Data Prevention Execution program preventing it from opening iTunes.  I have clicked on the DEP to allow iTunes to open and restarted the PC, still same problem remains. Your advice on this? Thanks!

    I then decided to try to 'reconstruct' my iTunes library, following the support guides, by holding the option key when opening iTunes and selecting 'Create New Library'
    Did iTunes work well, when you created a new, empty library in your account? If yes, then the database files xml, itl from your current iTUnes Library are probably corrupted. Can you restore them from your most recent backup?

  • Unable to open Itunes in Vista - data execution prevention (DEP)

    I'm unable to open itunes on my computer. I can install it but not open it. It says that the data execution prevention has stopped the running of the program. I have tried to change the settings of the data execution program, but it will not allow me to accept itunes - as it says that DEP has to be activated for itunes and cannot be deactivated. What do I do?

    One temporary solution is to run itunes through XP rather than vista.
    To do this go to the program icon (makes sure its not a shortcut, and the actual program icon, you can find this in your program files if its on on your desktop)
    sideclick on the icon
    go to properties
    compatibility tab
    check Windows XP service pack 2
    tell it to apply
    This should allow you to use itunes
