ITUNES OPENING with a pps

hi, Ive got a weird prob with mail in Panther 10.3.9. when I get an pps attatchment in Mail instead of letting me see the presentation of the powerpoint, Itunes opens up instead. Ive listed this prob in Itunes hoping someone knows y this is happening and more to the point how to correct it.

One thing you can try:
Select icon the of a .pps file.
Press CMD-I
In the Get Info window that pops up, find the "Open with" section. You may need to click on the small triangle to open this section.
Select PowerPoint as the application to open these files, then click the "Change All" button.
Good luck

  • Itunes opens with error -50

    Itunes opens with error -50 on my Mac. Once open signing in causes error 5002. Signing in from App store just fails. My Mac pc does not appear to be registered anymore and I can't sign in. On screen Support buttons don't connect so can't contact support online. Tried all the work arounds in discussions but no joy. Even tried deleting itunes to start agin but you can do that apparently. For one work around I Signed in through Safari to change payment details but payment option was not displayed. Getting really p'd off.  All is ok on my iphone/ipad etc but not my main pc. Any printable suggestions appreciated.

    Found a fix that worked, didnt even need to refresh the network settings
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type:  /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go.
    In the Finder window, locate the file named "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and drag this file to the Trash.
    Restart your computer.
    Once your computer has restarted, you will not be able to connect to the Internet. You will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect again:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    If you're using Mac OS X v10.4, choose New Location from the Locations menu.
    Click Apply Now at the bottom right.
    If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to put them back in at this point. You would have received these from your ISP or network administrator.

  • TS2776 iPhone 5, Outlook 2013, Windows 7.0 64-bit.  Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB, iTunes opens with the "accept our terms and service" then deselects the boxes checked under the INFO tab to sync my calendars, contacts...help?

    I am connecting my iPhone 5 to my Windows computer via USB.  This should open iTunes and start the sync process.  Instead of iTunes opening, I get the iTunes service agreement to which I must agree.  Then iTunes opens and begins to back up my phone.  It is syncing my photos and music (although the music thing is another nightmare), but under the "info" tab in iTunes, the boxes of which functions I want to sync are no longer selected.  Hence the computer and the phone are not sharing information.  When I select the functions I want to sync, I must either replace or merge.  If I replace, I lose the information I recently put into my phone.  If I choose to merge, then I have duplicates of everything.
    How can I resolve this problem? Why is iTunes acting like it doesn't know my phone?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4, Windows 7 64-bit, Outlook 13, and the must current version of iTunes (because I've removed and reinstalled it twice already).
    Thanks for any help!

    After you'd run the Configure Classic instance did you run in the statement as stated in 'Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10421-05'?
    java -classpath ORACLE_HOME_DIR\discoverer\lib\disco-config.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\opmn\lib\iasprovision.jar -Djava.library.path=ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\lib\win32 oracle.disco.install.config.DiscoUtil -oraclehome ORACLE_HOME_DIR -tnsadmin TNS_ADMIN_DIR
    I've completed an installation with the same steps (although I ran the config.bat file in as_1/bin rather than from the program files list and also I've the jrockit jdk installed)
    I've found that this fails with the error;
    INFO: This tool works only on Windows Platform. Exiting the program
    Which is strange considering this is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
    DISCO is running in the EM console but the URLs (as defined in the installation summary report) do not resolve properly. I was just interested to hear if you're installation was the same, this isn't the first installation I've done, they've all had a similar issue

  • Every time i turn on my iMac my iTunes opens with a window asking me to sign in with my password , how can i stop this ?

    Every time I turn on my Imac my itunes opens as I have set up to but a window pops up asking me to sign in with my itunes password , is there a way to stop this as it's quite annoying .
    Many Thanks
    A

    Correction: this is for automatic logon of the iMac itself.
    In SystemPreferences/Users&Groups  login items tab:
    remove the line
    iTunes  with the minus sign at the bottom.
    then also iTunes Match if you have it.

  • ITunes opens with "Welcome to iTunes"

    I've had my iPhone since August and all of a sudden last week iTunes started opening with "Welcome to iTunes" and a blank slate when I connect my iPhone. I figured out that I can manually start iTunes and sync my iphone with my correct files, but I am wondering how to fix the problem to get it working properly when I connect my phone.... anyone else have this problem or any ideas how to fix it?

    Help, anyone else have this problem???

  • Itunes opens with library and purchased music missing

    About every two weeks to a month I open itunes and it says it is copying library. It says the library is corrupt and itunes opens completely empty. No record of any songs play list or purchase history. I have about 11 files in my itunes folder marked itunes library (damaged). All my music is still in my itunes folder and I can drag and drop them back into itunes manually (hours of time), or use a 3rd party program to copy from ipod 5th generation, but sometimes even the next day itunes loses all knowledge of itself. This started about the time i upgraded to 6 and continues to get worse, I have 7.1.1 now.

    If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.
    For the future see Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.

  • ITunes opens with delay

    Hi,
    Well here's my problem, that i've had since the beginning using iTunes:
    The program opens with delay, ranging from 30 seconds up to 10 minutes, sometimes even more. Sometimes, it will just not open at all...
    I have tried to reinstall iTunes, I have tried to open it after having shut down all my antivirus or adaware type programs, but it won't help.
    Does anyone have a solution for me? Pleeeeaaase.. I'm just not too good at sitting patiently in front of my screen, waiting that a program will feel fine enough to get going.. Thanx for reading me

    is your DirectX up to date? here's the Microsoft

    if your DirectX is up to date (or updating it did not
    help), let's try running your dxdiag troubleshooter.
    go "Start > Run", type dxdiag and hit enter.
    does dxdiag report any problems? if so, what does it

    returning any.)

  • ITunes opens with no reason

    Since I got my new iMac, or since I upgraded to iTunes 10 (which happened at the same time), iTunes opens erratically with no iPod or iPhone attached. It even starts playing the first song/book in the list that was opened in the last session.
    What can be done to avoid that?

    Hi bphillips2633!
    I have an article here that I believe will help you add these converted files to your iTunes library. That article can be found here:
    iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347
    Follow the steps in that article to add these files to your iTunes library. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Why doesn't CD burned with iTunes open with track data in iTunes on another computer?

    I brought an album of 11 original songs in cda format into iTunes - I then addeded all the data to each song - artist composer genre etc.  and burned an audio CD from the playlist.  When I play it in the car CD player it displays the song names.  When I load it back into iTunes on my computer all the data shows.  When I load it into another computer with iTunes - all it shows is the original file names ie Track01 Track02 etc.  How come?

    Thing that baffles me is that the CD opensin itunes in the computer that created it displaying the full data - but shows track numbers only on another computer - when opened in itunes. 
    On the computer that created it, the info is stored in a file, not on the CD itself.
    Here is more info:

  • ITunes opens with a dialog about registry settings

    Every time I open iTunes, I get a dialog saying that the CD registry settings have been modified, and that a reinstall is needed. After reinstalling, I still get the same popup box at startup.
    XP SP3
    Core 2 Duo (2 @ 1.86 GHz)
    2GB RAM

    Well, its more to do with that Microsoft tech support fixed it for me. So I sould have assumed everything would have been fine. I think its porbably because Daemon tools mucked it all up that Tech support had to eliminate future issues.
    I guess its just something that iTunes isnt affected by, but then realised something changed, so the warning message pops up before I load the program.... I guess its a small thing I dont have to really worry too much about.
    I plan on getting a new computer some day, prefferably a mac for video editing. And have all my music on it, and my games on my PC
    It will sure make my media easier. And I can worry about game performance on my PC and ease of media on the MAC.
    Id like to know if someone might have a clue as to how to just you know.... turn the arning off? lol

  • I've created new User account on my PC for separate itunes library/account. Have had to change apple id to do this. When I connect to pc, itunes opens with CDs I've already loaded, but it doesn't recognise ipod. No left panel opens with devices. Help!

    Can anyone help? Two ipods with originally one itunes library and (I think) same Apple id). Now need 2 Libraries with separate account for separate buying etc. Recommended I create new library on separate PC User account which I have done together with new apple id. I have added this apple id to the ipod needing separate account. When I hook up, I can't sync. No 'Devices' left panel appears at all. I'm at a loss here so any help woudl be great. Thanks.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • After a windows update, iTunes opens with no library

    My computer was recently updated by Windows Update, and rebooted. iTunes may have been running. After the re-boot. I opened up iTunes, and there is nothing in the library. it is empty. Similarly, there is nothing in my podcasts. I looked for my music libraty (37GB) and found it just where it was supposed to be:
    C:\Documents and Settings\mcv\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    I have not updated my iPod since this.
    How can I resrtore my music library and podcast subscriptions?
    intel2.4gHz   Windows XP Pro  

    OK, I figured out what had happened. after iTunes apparently exits, it is not done. I had windows explorer open and I saw that several new files get created, they are temp files, including one called iT.tmp. These files are apparently used to reindex the music library. evetually, the iT.tmp file gets remnamed to iTunesLibrary.itl, and the iTunesMusicLibrary file is rewritten. You can watch this happen after iTunes closes. so, when you exit iTunes, it is not done....it will take about 15 more seconds to finish.
    so, in MYcase, where a windows update was done, Windows closed itunes, and thinking it was done, rebooted my machine. This caused the trouble I had.
    While my iTunes library is about 40GB, I will make some eforts to back this up regularly. you should also backup the ItunesLibrary.itl file and the iTunesMusicLibrary.xml file. You will also notice a couple of other temp files in the iTunes directory. probably no need to back these up.

  • ITunes opens with volume turned down

    For the past couple days everytime i open up iTunes it gives me a popup that the volume in itunes is turned all the ways down. i usually never touch the volume in itunes, rather the system volume, so i dont know why it "mutes" itself...
