Itunes not working after system restore

hey i searched this and found nothing helpful.
i did a system restore before and now my itunes won't open. it shows a message that tells me it can't open. i've reinstalled and uninstalled and everything i can think of...
how can i fix this and make itunes work again?

If you have an HP, you need to goto Hp.com and download a patch for your model of PC, alot of there PCs have issues with iTUnes after using there software to do a restore. If you have another brand, check there site.
You can also try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, disabling antivirus and downloading/installing the latest iTunes from apple.com

ITunes Not Working After I Restored My iPod Touch

I went on iTunes and clicked "restore" which caused some error message to pop up that told me to re install iTunes. Thus putting me on the currently 4 hour path of trying to get iTunes to work. First it said I needed avfoundationcf.dll or something. Then after downloading a bunch of stuff that claimed to want to help but repeatedly tried to charge me. Then the error messages starting telling me that I needed some dll files. I downloaded all the files that were asked of me from a website. The last file, icuin36.dll, installed normally (I assume) but the next error pop up box told me this:
iTunes.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windowa\system32\icuin36.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
Then a second pop up box appears that says:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re install iTunes
Error 9 (Windows Error 193)
This is where I am currently stuck. Any help would be dearly appreciated as I am on the verge of an aneurysm. Be sure to dumb down everything you say as I'm pretty stupid when it comes to computers.

If the music play OK in iTunes on your computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Itunes wont work after system restore

Itunes will no longer startup or uninstall/reinstall after i recently did a system restore on my laptop i can get it running by opening a song, and it works fine then, but its an old version cos i cant update! looked everywhere for a solution and cant find one anywhere!
Thanks

(c) the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below
Use source
C:\DOCUME1\Alex\locals1\Temp\IXP267.TMP\
Okay, given that the QuickTime seems to be working fine, that iTunes message is probably the key to this.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Run the utility, find the iTunes entry in the list of programs that show up in CleanUp, and remove the iTunes entry.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? If so, does iTunes launch properly again?

Itunes doesnt work after system restore

Hey i just downloaded the latest version on itunes a few days ago. I opened the program once and it worked well. Then yesterday i had a problem with my pc and i did a sytem restore. Now my itunes doesn't work. Whenever the try opening it this is the message i get:
The new file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
If any one could help me i'd appreciate it

Unfortunately, when you System Restored over the top of the iTunes install, it may have dropped old program files from iTunes and related components back on the PC. So you may have old iTunes componentry trying to open the new library.
I'd try a complete uninstall and reinstall of iTunes and related componentry on the PC, with a slight modification. The basic technique is given in:
[Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
The modification is that when you are working through the *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled* section, in addition to the program files and folders mentioned there (such as "iTunes" and "BonJour"), you might see program folders called "iTunes (2)" or iTunes (3)" or "BonJour (2)" and so on. Also delete such folders with the names of Apple software with numbers and parentheses.

ITunes not opening after system restore

I was having issues with opening iTunes after I upgraded to the latest version. So I did a system restore and now when I try to open it, I get a pop-up that says "The file "iTunes LIbrary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Speakers not working after system restore

After a fatal disk crash I've restored my system with a new internal hard drive. However, now the audio out isn't working. I've repaired permissions, and the only option shown in the sound system preferences is 'Built-in audio'.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!

Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
I had problems uninstalling Apple Mobile Support, I had to repair it first before I could uninstall it. You will have to restart the computer after all the uninstalls, and before reinstalling ITunes. I reinstalled ITunes from the Apple website afterwards (fresh download) ... everything works for me now that I have done this.

Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

Hi,
I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working. I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone. It is 18 months old.
I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions. I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck. I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6. This appeared to have worked. I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person. I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all. The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop. The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
-Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
-Problems attaching to known networks
-Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
- My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
- Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

BannerMaker not working after system update.

Hello all,
I am not trusting Apple now for system updates anymore, because the last couple of updates, after updating my system software, I have problems. I never have these issues with Windows.
Getting to my point, I use BannerMaker (an app created by some Fed agency that I had found googling because Apple doesn't support it as standard, and Windows already had this for years to comply with DOD requirements) to use for a login warning legal note, etc. This goes on to the login window only when you disable the icon/name login. I was in the process of updating it and it told me that the loginwindow.plist wasn't found. I found it on the Spotlight, but I had no way of changing it.
I should also note that after the system update, the login process reverted back to the icon/name login, which never happened. I always require me and another user to type their username because to protect the user's privacy.
How can I get BannerMaker to work again, or how can I get into that file so I can change it and I also want to know if other users had their loginwindow settings mysteriously affected by the update?
I am really disappointed by the lousy updates that paralyzes my security and other issues with previous updates, which I won't get into. I am disappointed with Apple right now.
Steven

I had a feeling that was going to happen. Well I just don't have the patience to do that. Apple needs to go onto the Windows system that you could delete specific updates rather than reinstalling the system software. And I also don't like how updates affect work around apps, how they close them down because they are not authorized software. I need a secure system, and Apple won't let me. **** to screw with them, I might just give my mother my MacBook and I go get a Windows notebook. I had nothing but problems since I got this MacBook.

RFC connections do not work after system restart

Hi PI experts!
We're facing a problem with our PI 7.0 system. After each restart of the system, all RFC sender communication channels do not work. When testing the connection in the sending SAP system, the connection test fails. Currently we workaround the issue by manually restarting the RFC adapter after system restart.
Does anybody has any idea how th fix that problem? <<text removed>>
Cheers,
Matthias
Edited by: Matt on Apr 29, 2009 3:26 PM - don't offer points

Mathias,
Your problem is due to the fact that SAP is not up and running when XI restarts.
there is a parameter in RFC adapter that you can modify in order to fix that
Please, see the following link and let me know: /people/community.user/blog/2006/09/21/xi-rfcadapter-reconnect-issue
best regards,

Start and Start apps don't work after System Restore

Hey guys, I tried to install Andy (Android emulator) on my PC today and I had to reboot after the setup was complete. This time when booting up, my computer froze before login screen. I've restarted the computer several times, but no login screen.
So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old) and voila, everything works like it should...
Except for Start menu, Cortana & search bar and notifications. Restarting explorer.exe didn't fix the problem. Even Start menu apps like Music or Store don't work... Only way to open the Settings app is to click on my network connection icon. Help please!
I'm using build 9926

..............So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old)...............
It is possible that you are missing the updates that were installed in that 2 days. You rolled back 2 days, now you need to reinstall those updates.
If you cannot use Start Menu, please follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes or Confirm
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.

IE Not Working since system restore!

So today I found a problem on my laptop so I did a system restore (factory setting) on HP G62.
Everything went fine, I was able to reset everything including reloading wireless information with password. The laptop then did an automatic update (which I knew was coming) it said it must be restarted. However, since the restart the IE is
no longer working. I get error: unable to display webpage for websites that are simple like Google when I take a second try I get: the address is not valid.
Here is another interesting factor, the wireless icon in the lower right hand corner sometimes shows a yellow flag indicating local access only no internet connection.
I verified that the password to the wireless is typed in correctly.
The internet works fine on other devices.
The HP laptop is not indicating any other updates.
Without IE working at all, I cannot even try another browser so I can download one to try!
Can someone please help??

Hi,
As Ricardo suggested, we should confirm whether we can connect to Internet or not first. Though the wireless icon shows a yellow flag, it doesn't really mean you lost network connection.
From the result of ipconfig /all, you can confirm if you obtain ip address and DNS. If you cannot, please attempt to diagnose your wireless network adapter and then manually assign ip address and dns server.
If you have no trouble obtaining ip, it can be related to DNS server. Thus, please attempt to ping www.google.com and ping 173.194.127.210 directly and check if it can ping correctly without resolution.
You can try purging DNS cache through running the command:
ipconfig /flushdns
Thanks!
