ITunes opens only in safe mode; does not open at all in regular mode (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

I haven't been able to open iTunes normally since june when I did the automatic upgrade. I have tried resetting it to an earlier version with no results and have tried everything i could find on apple support in similar problems and nothing seems to be working. When I open my task manager it does show iTunes in the process tab but it doesn't open. When I check my iphone it says that I am not connected with iTunes.
I don't know what to do anymore and I am getting frustrated to the point of changing phones to avoid this problem

No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

ITunes opens only in safe mode; freezes upon normal opening (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

Hello. I've encountered a problem with my iTunes that I would like some help on solving. My computer uses Windows Vista. iTunes recently began to freeze as soon as I opened its window. On two occasions, it appeared to work the first time after turning the computer on, but would freeze upon subsequent openings. No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all. However, iTunes appears to work just fine when I open it in safe mode (holding Shift + Ctrl while opening), although I have not yet attempted to sync a device while using safe mode. I attempted to update iTunes to its most recent version (10.6.3.25) after first experiencing this problem. The first time I tried, it didn't work, saying that "errors occured" during the update. I disabled my antivirus software (Kaspersky Antivirus 2012) and tried again. This time, my computer said that the update was successful. However, the freezing problem has persisted.
After looking through Apple support and other discussion topics, I found several things to check for (relating to similar problems) as follows. I checked for them, but they don't seem to apply to my situation. Here is what i found.
From Apple Support:
Check for third-party plugins in the following two folders:
-C:\Users\username\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\
Result: I found this folder, but it is empty, even with "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.
-C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins
Results: I did not find a "Plug-ins" folder in this directory, nor in the iTunes directory in Program Files (x86). However, there is a "Mozilla Plugins" folder in the (x86) directory, containing files "npitunes.dll" and "npitunes.xpt."
From Community Discussions:
-Conflict with Advanced SystemCare security tool by IObit or iCloud Control Panel
Result: These do not appear to be installed on my computer.
I also found something about Bonjour service, and that some people's similar problems were temporarily resolved when disabling Bonjour and reopening iTunes. I tried this, but it did not make a difference.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!

Tab navigation does not show at all in FP 10 it shows in FP9

Hi,
I have module that is loaded at runtime,
it has simple tab navigation with 3 children,
in FlashPlaer 9 Debug, tab navigation shows fine, even
thought for some reason it looks like linkbar :)
also numericStepper looks like inputBox and ComboBox has no
arrow, (they all look fine in FB 3.2)
in Flash player 10 tab navigation does not show at all, is
there any obvious thing that I am missing ?
I am guessing something terribly wrong with flex styles, but
I am not overriding any styles,
my environment :
vindows Vista 64 bit (although I use jvm 32)
project is build with latest flex sdk :flex_sdk_3.3.0.4589
P.S: I cant attach image here, so I will record video
tomorrow, if that will help.
thanks in advance
Levan

bump :)
anybody , please please :)

Powerbook G4 will not boot normally, only in safe mode.

So...about a month ago I updated my powerbook with all the updates that were available, one of the updates was 10.5.8. I came back after the update had run for a while, and found my computer with a black screen, and a faint white bar towards the bottom of the screen. The computer wouldn't respond, and I was forced to do a manual shutdown. The computer would then not boot, instead finally resting on a light blue screen with an active mouse pointer after passing the gray apple screen.
In safe mode, I downloaded and installed the combo 10.5.8 update, but it made no difference.
I assumed it to obviously be a software issue, and so I backed up my info, and reinstalled Leopard. I then updated to 10.5.8 using the combo update. My computer functioned normally for about a week, and then froze, mouse responsive, but nothing else. After manual shutdown, same problem, computer started to blue screen with pointer.
Since that time I've reset the PRAM, run disk utility a million times (no errors), repaired permissions, all to no avail. I've run the Techtool diagnostics on it, and it found no hardware failures. The computer will not boot from an external hard drive, ruling out the HD.
I've replaced the RAM with different RAM, again will not boot. The computer boots without fail every time in safe mode.
History on my computer, one of my memory slots failed to recognize memory any longer, and my logic board was replaced a little less than 2 years ago while I still had applecare.
So to sum up:
Powerbook boots only in safe mode
Stays at blue screen with mouse pointer when booting
May work properly for a few days after erase and install of OS, but then fails again with same systems shortly thereafter
Any ideas???

Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test from DVD?

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

My Macbook Pro won't boot up, only in safe mode!

Help, my macbook pro won't restart, only in safe mode! and it seems that safe mode has plenty of implications for use. my usb memory stick doesn't seem to be recognized while in safe mode. I was doing a cleanup on mackeeper just after I downloaded a trial version of microsoft office mac. The trial wouldn't work properly so I deleted it and decided to do a cleanup with mackeeper. than the mac froze while mackeeper was doing it's cleanup and the screen flashed black a few times. Ever since it won't boot up unless I use safe mode. Also, I downloaded the most recent updates while in safe mode but it doesn't seem to be recognizing that I already downloaded them because software update is still telling me that I have 6 updates. So I am horribly confused at this point. Please help, I need this laptop to do report cards (it's a good thing I got an extension). thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
The commands may line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V).
find /Sy*/L*/Ex* -type f -name Info.plist -exec sh -c '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$1" 2> /dev/null | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo ${1%*.kext/*}.kext' {} {} \;
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 3
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, these steps are all copy-and-paste — no typing. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

IMac 24" boots only in Safe mode

iMac Intel 24" aluminum 3.06 processor, Graphics NVIDIA 8800 GS,from June 2008. Mac OS 10.6.7
It started a few days ago by flickering the upper part of the screen(horizontal strips) during normal use. After reboot the problem reappeared. Ata certain moment the computer would not restart, it hangs at gray screen, butthe hard drive turns and eventually other computers in a wireless networkrecognize the printer connected to the computer.
I tried all usual tricks (starting from DVD or external drive, safemode, single mode, resetting PRAM, unplugging the power cord etc.).
The computer starts only in safe mode, the gray screen becomes blue andthen normal desktop picture. Only some pictures and YouTube videos are not showing up. Safari works only with a single tab, however Firefox opens nearlyall pages.
I took the machine to an Apple shop for repairing. After 11 days theycalled me and said the video card is damaged and should be replaced (some $800). I do not have Applecare and I have to pay the costs. Before agreeing toreplace the video card I would like to know what is the origin of the problem
I wonder why the video card failed. Is it possible that another element(power supply or overheating) has caused the damage to the card? If the videocard is damaged why is it able to handle graphics when the computer is startingin safe mode?

Thank you very much.
In fact it is interesting to know if a video card can be partially dead. If it works (at least partially) at safe mode that means some components of the hardware are still alive. It seems that at starting in normal mode it tries to access something for activating the graphics and it cannot. Are there extra components activated at normal startup, which are not done at safe mode?
I unplugged the computer without holding the power button (At Apple store they didn’t tell me to hold the power button for 10 seconds after unplugging to reset SMC) - also Apple doesn’t suggest to hold the power button, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
I restarted the computer after resetting SMC and it started normally, but after nearly 24 hours the top of the display began to flicker followed by total freeze. After that it couldn't boot in normal mode. It hangs at startup with gray screen. Only in safe mode it can boot.

Boots only in Safe Mode - Macbook mid 2007

My Macbook mid 2007 with Snow Leopard will not boot correctly. The only successful means is Safe Mode (key S during boot).
All measures published in various postings have been conducted without any peripheral devices. These are:
verify harddisc
verify RAM
resetting PRAM and NVRAM
A detailled overview can be found under here.
The existing original RAM and harddisc were successfully tested using a second identical Macbook. A new installation of Snow Leopard on the harddisc using the second Macbook was successful and started in this second Macbook as expected. This harddisc was then inserted into my Macbook, but it would not boot. Hence it is safe to exclude problems with RAM and the harddisc.
Attempts to boot with the Snow Leopard DVD (either via C plus boot or Option during boot and select Install DVD) are not successful. Attempts to boot from an external drive are also not successful. The boot process (regular, DVD, external) progresses to different states including grey screen with Apple and frozen wheel. There is no consistency.
From the various postings I have found and studied along with my numerous tests, I have deduced the following possibilities:
There is a problem with the GPU.
There is a problem with the keyboard (maybe someone spilled something).
I have found numerous solutions for "boots only in Safe Mode". All include booting via Install DVD, but this does not work in my case.
I have exhausted all my possibilities. Hopefully someone can provide more insight.

What I am not able to test is booting with an external CD/DVD drive. However, there is no indication that the built-in drive is malfunctioning.
If you have a second MacBook (#2 working OK), you could use its CD/DVD drive loaded with the 10.6 DVD as the target disk to boot into, as the first Macbook (#1 the troubled one) reportedly cannot see a 10.6 DVD normally.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
In your case this would be:
With the MacBook(1) on (Host), the MacBook(2) off (Target) connect the firewire cable.
Start the MacBook(2), hold T key to make it the boot drive. It will appear on the MacBook's(1) Desktop.
Insert the 10.6 Install DVD into the MacBook(2).
It too will appear on the MacBook's(1) Desktop.
From the MacBook(1), select Restart and hold down the Option key to select Start-up Manager.
From Start-up Manager, select the 10.6 Install DVD which will take you into the installation.
If this occurs, then you have booted into the install 10.6 DVD, From there you could try and install it, see what happens.
However, if it does not see the DVD disk, then this would indicate a defect in the logicboard (motherboard), though which component I would not guess.
If it does see the DVD, in Macbook (2) and can boot into it,… I'd be surprised!

The itunes application icon on my dock does not bring up itunes. Haven't had a problem with this in the past.

The itunes application icon on my dock does not bring up itunes. I have no problem accessing itunes from my iphone though, so I believe it is computer related rather than an itunes issue. Haven't had this problem before.

Does the icon in your dock look like this?
Can you open iTunes successfully from your Mac's Applications folder?
Are you running the current version of iTunes (11.2.2)? If not, get it from here:

MacPro 1.1 boot only in safe mode with a non Apple display (NEC 24")

Months ago my original Apple Cinema has broken and I subtituted it with a 24" NEC Multisync LCD 2490WUXi with good results.
After some months, for cleaning purpose, I formatted the boot HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard.
Since then I can restart only in safe mode - the DVD also start only in safe mode otherwise after loading the screen is blank and shows only the mouse pointer.
I noted on System Profiler that no monitor is shown and both the DVI ports of the graphical card (NVIDIA Geforce 7300) result not connected!
I have to thing that such a monitor is not known and therefore, as I don't know where get the original one, can I use the Cinema Display 30" (but it has a minidisplay port not present on my card) and how?
Or it is better the substitution of the card having the minidisplay port? What type is compatible with Mac Pro 1.1 (2008)?
Or, in conclusion, I have to trash all and abandon Apple?
Many thanks for your appreciated suggestions.

7300GTs are old in the tooth, there is a Boot Camp related firmware update that you should have seen in ASU.
The ATI 4870 - even flashed PC version - is one option.
I have seen other threads mention 7300.
I'd do the power off unplugged / power button for 10 second "Reset SMC" and see.
