ITunes No Longer Runs--iTunes Helper Resources Not a Valid File Name

I made a dumb mistake (I think) and tried to install iTunes onto an SD card. At first, my computer would only let me open iTunes if the SD card was installed. I tried to reinstall to the C drive, but keep getting the "I Tunes Helper Resources not a Valid File Name" message. At this point I want to uninstall everything and start over, but I'm afraid I'll lose my music. I still have all the files but, of course, none will open since I don't have a properly installed iTunes anymore. Would appreciate any assistance in uninstalling, reinstalling and saving my current music files.

Here's what I decided to do. Fortunately, all the files were still available, so I simply backed them up from my iTunes Music Library onto a 32 GB flash drive then transferred the new stuff onto an older computer in my office with an older version of iTunes. I had to do this in several shifts since I have more than 32GB of music. Everything that transferred plays well. Next I'll try to wipe iTunes completely off the new computer, reinstall an older version of iTunes and then reload all the files onto the new computer. What a PITA!

C#: 'Not a Valid File Name' error when I know the name and link are correct.

I'm receiving "Not a valid file name" when I know I have used this link before and the filename is spelled correctly. I'm not sure if I should be looking at something else. This is my connection code. It fails on "conn.Open()".
For security reasons, I edited the link... it is not a working link for this question.

A database must be locally available via the filesystem, e.g. an UNC path would do it also.

ITunesminiplayer.Resources is not a valid file name

I cannot install iTunes 8 because I continued to get this 'miniplayer" error message. I also tried removing the iTunes software that did take hold, but becuase of that file iTunesminiplayer.Resources, I cannot remove the program to install an older version. Any ideas before I sell my iPod on eBay because it's useless to me thanks to iTunes Version 8??????
I have already gone through the following lists of fixes that I found online:
Windows XP updates
iPod software updates (why that was reccomended I have no idea)
Re-installing iTunes (did this three times)

See if the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will get rid of itunes.
Then try the install again.

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

I can no longer run itunes since the latest update

i can no longer run itunes since the latest update

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Hello skkmmayer,
That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

Everytime I open my iTunes it says "Running iTunes in 64-bit mode requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later" how do I fix this?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode

Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode document ?
I am using windows XP with Adobe Creative suite 2.
In both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 have the same color settings.
If I take a RGB file that was created in Photoshop CS2 and place this file in a CMYK color mode document in Illustrator CS2, does this cause a problem for the output of the document ?
If you look at the ''Document Info'' window you can now see that the RGB file is now a CMYK file. Is this a good working habit ?
Thanks in advance. :)

>Is it ok in the long run to placing a RGB photoshop eps file into a Illustrator CS2 CMYK color mode document ?
Please explain why you would do such a thing? (Why RGB, and why EPS.)
>If I take a RGB file that was created in Photoshop CS2 and place this file in a CMYK color mode document in Illustrator CS2, does this cause a problem for the output of the document ?
Yes.
You are working in CMYK mode presumably because your Illustrator document is destined for output on a PostScript device -- e.g., a printing press. That means that your RGB image will undergo a space conversion somewhere in the process, and the questions are when and how?
The issue is compounded by the fact that Illustrator ignores color profiles embedded in EPS files by Photoshop. (Just another reason not to use EPS.)
By performing the conversion yourself in Photoshop, you take control of the process and ensure predictable color.

When i try saving sothing it comes up with could not save as (file name) because the file could not be found and need to save this file. i could save stuff before but not anymore if anyone could help i would be grateful
im using photoshop cs5.1
Thanks keiron

We cannot know. These kinds of things are operating system errors with stuff getting blocked due to insufficient permissions, security tools interfering, network errors or whatever. Since you mentioned none of that, it's an "Ask your mom..." thing at this point, but if you provide more details, someone might be able to figure it out.

File upload script not getting the file name for larger files

Hi
I have the following code (see extract below) and find that
when the size of the file to upload is larger than about 300kb the
code does not grab the file name. Consequently the upload fails.
The code works fine when the file size is smaller.
The code in the form page is:
<form
action="UploadAttachment.asp?SubjectName=<%=Request.QueryString("SubjectName")%>&VersionN umber=<%=Request.QueryString("VersionNumber")%>&QualificationName=<%=Request.QueryString(" QualificationName")%>"
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1">
<input name="file" type="file" size="100">
<input name="Upload" type="submit" id="Upload"
value="Upload">
</form>
The code in the UploadAttachment.asp page is:
<%
'Grab the file name
Dim objUpload, strPath, SQLString
Set objUpload = New clsUpload
'there is a problem that this next line doesn't grab the file
name if file is too large.
strFileName = objUpload.Fields("file").FileName
etc.
%>
If you have any idea how to resolve this I'd be grateful.

   ENDIF.

ITunes no longer runs since buying Match. Within ten seconds of opening, it crashes, everytime. Firewall off, latest version of iTunes reinstalled, Windows updates/etc. on, no other software running at the same time. Error-report just says reinstall.

I can no longer use iTunes whatsoever.
I'm hoping to get a refund for the $25 wasted on match if my PC isn't compatible. But how the **** do I get iTunes as a whole to stop crashing?
I'm on Windows 7 with AMD C-50 processor and 2GB RAM, 250GB hard disc.
Never had an issue with Apple products before today.
Windows error reporting claims that "an update to iTunes addresses the issue", but not only did I have 10.5.3 already, I went ahead and reinstalled it, too, and the 64bit version just for the **** of it in case that'd make difference. No luck.
I mean, surely, the fact that this is only happening to me means it is a problem with my system. But I don't suppose its the usual stuff that way, way inexperienced computer users end up on these forums about. No viruses (are there PC viruses that only affect iTunes match? sounds far fetched.) No firewall issues. Not running outdated software. I imagine its my CPU, my hardware, thats just not compatible with Match.
Anyways. The crash occurs about 20% into the progress bar of gathering info about your library for match. When restarting, it asks to log off and log back in to the itunes store. A few times I was able to do that, by getting to the little X and cutting off match before it could crash (still logging out and logging back in made no difference), but now the speed at which it gets to the 20% and crashes is so fast I can't beat it to it.
Do you suppose the Apple store at the mall, since I just got a 4S with Apple Care+ might be able to help me, or would there be a fee? I can't afford a new computer right now, and if mine just could never work with match period, might I get a refund?

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.
