ITunes only runs when computer is in selective startup mode

I installed iTunes 9 and it works as long as my computer starts up in selective mode. I have to go into services and disable all non Microsoft services then restart the computer so iItunes works. When I start in normal startup mode I get the following message. "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." Am I supposed to go through the timely process of restarting one item at a time and rebooting to figure out what's causing the problem or does someone have any idea what the problem could be?

Good lord. Good catch with that rebross. I wasn't thinking along those lines at all.
One way of speeding up the "narrowing in process". (1) Try starting with half the non-MS services disabled. (2) If itunes doesn't launch after doing that, atempt a selective startup with the other half disabled. If itunes launches after doing that, see if you can launch with the half that were enabled for (2) and half of the ones from (1) enabled, and so on.
(It's still a performance, but it'll be quicker than adding back the services one by one ...)

  • PDF forms have problems displaying text and only appears when the field is selected

    Hello,
    I created some pdf forms to distribute to the company clients. But we are having some people complaining about the text visibility. When they have work in team, the pdf that they receive from a third person often appears unfill or without text, the text is only visible when the field is selected. I need to find a solution for this because our company products are base on this forms.
    If there is any addition information that I should add to understand what is happening and how to fix it, I'll be happy to write it.
    In the company, we all have mac and the forms where created innitially in Adobe acrobat 9 pro, but we have now Adobe acropabt XI pro.
    The users have both Mac and Windows systems.
    Thank you,

    This is usually caused by the form being filled-in and saved by a Mac user who is using the Preview application to view the PDF. More information is here: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
    It is a good idea to inform your users that Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) should be used to work with the forms.

  • ITunes Only Runs with Anti Virus disabled

    I had the same problem a lot of people are having when upgrading to the latest iTunes.
    I have reinstalled QT and iTunes separately and have finally gotten it to run. My problem now is that iTunes only opens if I have Norton Internet Security disabled. When Norton is enabled, iTunes doesn't open at all - no error message - but it runs because I get a message from Norton to designate the type of access I want to give to iTunes. I choose "permit all" but it doesn't open. Itunes appears to continue running because I have to force the computer shut each time because it is unable to end the program. Also, sometimes I get an end program error "SMAX4PNP" - the pc also cannot end the program and I have to force it shut.
    But when I log into iTunes with Norton disabled, everything works smoothly.
    When I go into the personal firewall for Norton, I am unable to find iTunes as an option to "permit all".
    Also, when I go to the task bar to end running processes, I try to end itunes.exe but it does not end it.
    Can you help? I have combed through the discussion pages for an hour and a half now but cannot find the specific fix to my problem.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your comments Cameron.
    I followed your steps. The uninstall and install went fine but I am still unable to open iTunes with NIS on. I believe I did something wrong.
    After scanning, I couldn't find the programs you mention in the program scan box (or in the personal firewall configure box): iTunesHelper.exe, iTunes.exe and the QuickTimeInstaller.exe. All I saw in the scna box was Apple iTunes and Apple Quicktime.
    You also said to leave all programs on the list - did you mean leave them as they appeared with the "Internet Access" field on Automatic?
    Also, once scanning is complete, I couldn't find an "accept" or "ok" button and the "next" button was never enabled, even after tinkering with the programs....should I just close the window?
    I think I need your help again.
    Thanks

  • ITunes only works when IPOD is connected

    My ITunes only opens and can be used if my IPOD is connected. I have re-installed ITunes twice now, but the re-installing does not seem to fix the problem. Any ideas as to how I can access ITunes on my PC without connecting my IPOD? I have a PC with Vista. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just to check a few things, when you removed your iTunes program did you only remove iTunes? You should also remove 3 accompanying programs along with it.
    Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
    1) Apple Mobile Device Support
    2) Apple Software Updates
    3) Quicktime
    4) iTunes
    Then restart your computer, go to www.itunes.com and download the install file again. That should resolve the issue, but if you've tried that please let me know

  • PSRF_REPORT_CREATE message only running when outdesttype is web

    Our team has setup messaging to allow generated reports to be listed in the report manager by using the PSRF_REPORT_CREATE message and the PSRF_REPORTING_FOLDERS queue. When we run a new report with an outdesttype of Web, the message is passed to the queue properly and everything works well. The problem is, when we select any other outdesttype such as File, Email, etc. the message never gets sent to the queue and nothing happens other than the report being generated in the specified directory. We are pretty sure that our gateway, node, services, service operation and routings are setup properly since it is working correctly using Web. Anyone have any recommendations?
    We are running peopletools 8.49

    One thing i have noticed is when i do a select * from PSPRCSRQST the difference between the ones that get pushed to the report manager (the message gets sent) is that the PSRF_FOLDER_NAME = GENERAL where as the ones that don't fire the message this same field is empty. I am not sure if this has anything to do with it but that is the only difference between these records in this table.

  • ITunes stops running when trying to play movies

    I have several movies loaded into iTunes but when I try to view them on my TV using Apple TV iTunes stops running and wants to close down.

  • ITunes stops running when trying to sync

    My replacement iphone will not sync all my apps music or phtos, itunes stops running on the computer.

    I have the same issue since I loaded one of the ITunes 11 updates - my IPhone 4s is running iOS 8.1 and now I'm running ITunes 12 - with no luck.  I update all of the apps and when ITunes gets to Step 6 of 6 and tries to copy the update to my phone, I get an error that ITunes has stopped working and a problem caused the program to stop working correct.  I have to close the program. 
    Is there anyway I can get these updates to work so I don't have to use my data plan to update my apps??

  • Itunes shuts down when I try to select apps tab for Iphone 5

    Iphone 5
    IOS7.2
    Itunes 11.1
    When I try to manage my apps in itunes, itunes shuts down as soon as I click the apps tab.  Everything else syncs just fine. What's the fix?

    This is really silly but here is the soultion:
    You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.
    If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1.  You can always move it to the folder afterwards.You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.  If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1.  You can always move it to the folder afterwards.

  • Apple TV reboots when viewing photos and selecting slideshow mode

    Just purchased the A-TV, so only experience is with the 2.3 OS release. I can view my synced photos without issue, but when I select slideshow mode, the screen goes black for a few minutes and then the box reboots. The diagnostics state there is not a hardware problem, but this is hopefully not a 'feature' of A-TV. Help!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    There could be a/some photos causing a problem, are you able to sync your photos in batches to try to eliminate this possibility.

  • Ipw3945 only working when modprobing manually / not on startup

    The last kernel update broke my wireless.
    When booting, the ipw3945d daemon will tell me "ERROR: Could not find Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection". After it finishes booting, I can rmmod the ipw3945 module and modprobe it again. Starting the daemon after that works flawlessly. Even if I try to start the daemon manually after the booting sequence, I'll get that error. I first need to rmod and modprobe ipw3945 for it to work. So...:

    And I have no idea why it only works when modprobing manually.
    Anyone?

    Zl.
    I don't know if it's driver-related, but it could be power-related: iwl3945 isn't able to retrieve my ap essid everytime, since on the other hand ipw3945 is able to do, with the laptop in the SAME position.

  • Itunes 12  freezes when I try to select apps section on a device

    I'm using itunes 12.1.2.27 on windows 7.
    When I connect my iPhone 6 plus or iPad Air, both running IOS 8.3.
    And try to select the apps section on the device, itunes invariably Freezes and I have to stop it via the task manager.
    This also happened in the previous version of itunes 12, so rather than updating to 12.1.2.27, I uninstalled itunes and then installed a fresh download form the apple site. This made no difference.
    Anyone else getting this?\
    Thanks,
                       Zivan

    Hi Zivan,
    As I understand it, iTunes is becoming unresponsive immediately after selecting the Apps on the device when it is plugged in.  To help resolve this issue I'd like you to please follow the directions in the article below.

  • Creative Cloud will only "run" when started in "Run as Administrator"

    For some reason, sometime in the past month Creative Cloud will not give me access when started from any of the normal methods; the Task bar Shortcut, the Start Menu shortcut, or even directly from double clicking on "Creative Cloud.exe." It starts in the background but does not appear on the monitor. This is confirmed with Task Manager. I have found that if I use Task Manager to "End Task," I can start the program (from any of the above methods) by choosing "Run as Administrator" and it appears on the monitor and I have complete access.
    Today, I updated to the newest version and the situation remains the same (except, that before I did not have to "end Task" in Task Manager prior to "Run as Administrator.)
    What is causing this and how do I fix it?

    I tried every solution I found online suggesting deletion of apps, fresh installs, deletion of folders, permission changes, etc. I finally had an hour long chat session with an Adobe tech who had me do much of the same thing again, only to have the issue remain.
    Here was the end solution which worked for me:
    1. Create a new Admin account
    2. Log out of your computer, and then back in under the new admin account
    3. use the Creative Cloud uninstaller app to uninstall CC desktop. (Doing this prompted an alert message telling me I couldn't do this because some CC apps required it. So, I deleted the 2 CC apps I had installed, Lightroom and Photoshop)
    4. After the uninstall completes, install a new copy of CC desktop. (Once I did this, it opened and ran correctly.)
    5. Log out and log back in under your usual account.
    6. If CC desktop doesn't start on its own, double click the application itself to start up.
    After completing step #6, CC desktop started up on its own. I re-downloaded Photoshop and Lightroom through CC and all is working normally so far.

  • ITunes shuts down when computer sleeps

    My computer falls asleep when I'm playing music on iTunes. I guess my computer thinks that there's no activity. I've tried tweaking with the energy saver settings, but it's still happening. It does the same thing when I'm watching videos on iTunes.

    look at this article.  The article give a link for XP.

  • Playbook won't run on battery. Only runs when connected to charger.

    My playbook battery shows 100% charge, but immediately shuts off when I unplug the charger.  When I plug it in it will boot up after red light comes on then flashing green fifteen times and work properly,  until I disconnect the playbook charger.  I also cannot connect it to my computer anymore.
    Unable to find a solution to this exact problem.  Any suggestions are appreciated. 

    First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
    Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
    You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    QUICKLY choose the Update option.
    This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.
