Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

Encoder keeps running into a problem and closes adobe premiere pro down too.

Hello, i have be trying to open my Encoder but for some reason it keeps running into a problem and closing on me and has a time or two closed down my adobe premiere pro down too. What is happening?

Hi. I have the same problem using an HTC Incredible Android smartphone. The video/audio not in sync. Slight advance or delay. Not matching. I have the phone set to record as mp4, but when I use the file it says 3gp, so I transcode it to mp4. I have filmed a lot with my smartphone and now I have all this footage for over 6 months that may have this problem so I seriously need to know how to fix this or I have a ton of bad footage showing me in frame talking and it's not going to be right for YouTube videos of selfie-vlogging. So, I need to know the best, most fool-proof, most efficient, time-saving way to process and make it workable without taking too much time. Please share the very best methods which work 100% of the time. Thanks, JR

Restore your library from a recent / current backup. If you've failed to maintain a backup of data you obviously regard as valuable, see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

ITunes won't start after reinstalls and iPhone problems

last time I think I clicked Never Register on iTunes after plugging my iphone,downloaded some podcasts to my phone,everything seems alright before that,but then my iphone won't sync properly with itunes...
iTunes keeps saying Syncing Iphone (sometimes it stops,but it doesnt say Sync is complete,on the left side it's still syncing) but after a while my iPhone goes back to its normal state (Slide to unlock,not to cancel) after I cancelled a sync (it took more than 2 hours,that's why I cancelled it,after the cancellation it became even more messed up)...
Deleted the podcasts and deauthorized iTunes store,still doesnt work.
What's the solution to sync my iphone normally again??
I did reboot on both my iphone and PC and they don't work,
I'm using Vista 32bit and Iphone 3G 2.2.1
I tried updating iTunes to 8,1,now everytime I connect my phone via usb,iTunes will crash....removed iTunes and installed previous versions including 8.01 and 8.02...still not working
after I installed 8.0,iTunes won't even open...
removed itunes and installed other versions including 8.1 again,they won't even open even after I completely removed iTunes & quicktime and used windows install cleanup...,reboot many times,deleted Temp folder....still doesnt work...
but the Itunes and iTunes helper processes are there on the task manager,I cant even kill them
sorry,I don't know where to post this...
please help,guys..
thanks

I have update iTunes to the latest version yesterday.
Up to her everything is fine. Due to ther issues I
had to go back to the Windows RESTORE point previous
to the iTune installation.
When I start iTunes I get the following pop-up:
"iTunes cannot runbecause some of its required files
are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
I do that and when iTunes try to connect to the store
it shows broken links and the whole thing hangs.
I have tried to unistall iTunes, but it does not help
at all. This means that I do not have connection to
iPod. I cannot believe that I have to re-install all
my PC bcause of this.
I have discovered that QuickTime is corrupted. I cannot unistall it and if I try to re-install it nothing happens.
Is there a manual way of removing it from the system?
Which keys/modules do I need to remove?

Bt you view box keeps cycling start up screens and...

My new by you view box goes from by waking up to you view nearly ready and then back to be waking up. Just done a factory reset and still can't get passed you view nearly ready screen??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Humax YouView box is the the most unreliable piece of junk it has ever been my misfortune to have set eyes on. It started off fine and I thought it was a great little machine, but then the startup problems began, and now it can take ages for it to start, if it does at all. I have rebooted it over the course of three hours tonight and it will still not kick in. It begins to load and then the screen turns black and I have to try again. Sometimes it will stay on the "almost ready" screen for as long as you care to leave it, other times it just cuts out after a few seconds, other times it will load and run for a few minutes before cutting out again, and amazingly, some times it will actually work......I have had a black screen with sound, without sound, pink screen, green screen, you name it.
I have tried different cables, everything I could think of to no avail. I even did a factory reset, losing all the programmes I wanted to keep or had still to watch but still the problem remains. It will still record programmes I have set but I can't get it to work long enough to watch them. I am just about to call it a day and ask them to come and collect it. Do I want a replacement? I think not, i'd rather just consign it to the dustbin and buy a freeview recorder.

Firefox keeps running in the background, and cannot clear Cache after turning off Firefox

After shutting down Firefox, it keeps running in the background. This creates a Problem when trying to clear the Cache, etc.
Why does it keep running?

Look into CCleaner and Advanced System Care and file a support question because if Firefox is not in task manager it is NOT RUNNING! By the way you mentioned you don't like that Firefox 7.0 because it doesn't have a tool bar with Mail and Facebook try this:
*Make mail etc. bookmarks
*Open the list of bookmarks
*Right click one
*Click "Properties"
*Enter mail or facebook etc. in "Keywords"
*Next time you want to open it just type mail or facebook etc. into the address bar
*Hit enter or click the green arrow however you normally load a webpage when you type it in
*This will open the web page without having to enter the URL

Once closed, Firefox keeps running in the background and ties up 50% of my CPU at 112mb of memory. WHY?

firefox keeps running in background after closing, ties up 50% of CPU and 112mb of ram. why?

Just keep following the suggested solution until you die.

ITunes keep saying "Waiting for iPod" and cannot restore

When i try to restore my iPod, it keeps in waiting for ipod and in the ipod an apple and an empty bar..
Oh and i got the ipod so many months ago and I found it but when I connected it to itunes it said in serial number: n/d, ios: n/d , etc !
help please, is an ipod touch 4g 32gb !

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I delete a song from my iTunes, keep it in the cloud and in the playlist it resides?

I don't know why, but a few weeks ago I was able to do this... Now I cannot figure it out.
I want to delete the music from my computer, keeping it in the cloud (with the download button on the side), and keeping the clouded song in the playlist it belongs to. Everytime i delete the song, its out of the playlist!

Hello!
Interesting question. I just tested it myself and it is working as expected. My first suggestion is to ensure you're running the latest version of iTunes.
Then simply delete the song from your library, do NOT check the box to also remove it from iCloud, click Delete Item, then click Move to Trash. The little cloud icon appears next to it in the list. Then go view the playlist and the song will still be there, again with a cloud icon next to it. Additionally, next to the playlist in the sidebar, there will be a iCloud download button as well.

ITunes keeps on opening by itself and playing music!

On my MacBook Air, iTunes randomly opens and begins playing music. No matter what I do, it keeps doing this. I have tried pausing the music (it just keeps playing a few seconds later), closing iTunes (it just opens back up). It is really annoying and frustrating. I have only had my MacBook for a year now......and it just started playing Phantom of the Opera, The Point of No Return....now I'm scared.

Hi sailormoonfreax,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you closing the iTunes window, (clicking on the red dot), or are you actually quitting the application?
I would suggest force quitting the application, and then removing it from your Login items for your User account.
Another scenario that could be happening is a setting in Mountain Lion that reopens previously opened windows when you shut down or restart.
The articles below will explain these settings in more detail:

Mac Basics: Set your preferences

System Preferences controls system-wide settings ("global" settings), and is available from the Apple menu at the upper-left corner of the screen.
Click the General setting and you can choose whether or not windows re-open.

ITunes keeps asking to accept EULA and then does not launch

I'm running Win7 and iTunes 10.5. After the latest upgrade, iTunes will not launch. Everytime I attempt to launch iTunes, it asks to accept the user license agreement, I accept, and then iTunes does nothing.

I meant that there isn’t any box where I can accept the terms etc. - when I ‘ve downloaded it said “ by clicking on Install you agree to accept the terms and conditions “
Anyway now I’ve cancelled some plug-ins from the library and it seems it works
If you have a better suggestion kindly let me know
Thank you for your prompt reply

Itunes keeps asking me for username and password

I am running Windows 7 on a MBP and need to download an app from the iTunes Store for work (I'm a tech writer). When I go to download, a dialog prompts me to verify who I am. I enter my credentials and click Billing Info, then the same prompt shows up. I do this a couple of times. Maybe I have forgotten my password. So I go and change my password. I enter the new one and still I keep getting prompted for my credentials. I can even log into my account via Firefox and change info there, using the credentials that fail to allow me to download from the store. What does a guy have to do to access his own account on the iTunes Store?

First, sync all your devices.
Deauthorize your Mac, then authorize it again.
When you open iTunes and attach a device Apple will consider you a new user. You will be told that your device is synced to another account and be asked if you wish to sync to this account. Say yes and tell iTunes to write from the Mac to the device when the opportunity is presented.
After the sync select "Info" from the iTunes tabs and set your sync preferences agein. Then resync.
The message will disappear.

ITunes keeps losing my music over and over

I bought a MacBook Air - the top model - a year ago. I got into iTunes - not knowing what I was stepping into. On the Preferences dialog - Advanced tab - there are 2 boxes: one says to "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" the other says "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to Library" - I checked BOTH of these boxes.
I added my music files, imported CDs and bought stuff. ALL of my music files have been copied into the iTunes media music folder which is then broken down into directories by author, then by album and then the song files have track numbers appended to the file names. Whatever. I have about 500 music files now.
The problem is that almost everytime I open iTunes I have anywhere from 20 to 200 music files with an exclaimation point beside them. I cannot play them because iTunes cannot locate them. I have to click Locate and navigate into the iTunes media folder, author folder, album folder and then click the mp3 file containing the song and it plays - it fixes that song. Doing that for 200 songs? Are you kidding me?
I noticed that if I close iTunes and open it back up again most of the time the exclamation points are gone but it still will not play the songs. If I click the song it does nothing - it doesnt even give me the box to locate the songs.
This is driving me crazy. Obviously iTunes is not a practical, usable product. But it's the only way to get music onto my iPhone. Or is it?
I've searched thru the Apple support and they're taking lessons from Microsoft - they say the cause is that you moved the initial files and now iTunes cannot find them - they're essentially trying to blame their bugs on us - the users. So Apple - what about all the music I bought from the iTunes store? Did YOU move the initial files? Yes the CDs I imported have "moved" everytime I put my car in gear. The files I imported from my files system are still right there where they have been all along. And no - none of this music is on a removable drive. It's on whatever flash memory you guys put inside this thing when you built it. I refer to it as my internal flash memory - which takes the place of the hard drive most computers have. Seriously, does Apple have answers for this? Not just trying to put the blame back on me.
Had I not told iTunes to keep the media organized then would it keep all the music in one directory? Would this problem go away? Importing all my music again would take an entire day. If i'm going to go thru the trouble of rebuilding my iTunes library I want to solve the problem for good. I do not have time to keep fixing this problem.
I would just go and get a real music player that actually works - but I want to put music on my iPhone - that's why I use iTunes. I guess i'm screwed.
I suspect this has something to do with the fact that a MacBook Air does not have a physical hard drive - it uses flash memory instead - and since flash doesn't retain storage for long they probably have background processes moving files around so they stay fresh - and somehow when I close the computer and it "sleeps" and then wakes up it has "lost" hundreds of my music files because they were moved and iTunes doesn't have the new location?
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Is Apple ever going to fix this problem? If so - how do I get the fix?

If you click one of the marked library entries and reassign the proper file, will it work again?
Then iTunes seems to have problems to access the folder where you placed the music. User rights, removable drive locations... There could be many reasons.
The best way would be perhaps to define the media folder where iTunes can definitely access it, then import all files again and perhaps tick the option to copy the music files instead of just linking them.
