ITunes + Quicktime won't run after install

I did an automatic upgrade to ITunes verson 8 from 7. After the upgrade, neither iTunes nor Quicktime would work. I then proceeded to do a complete uninstall of both items, to include deleting all directories and cleaning the registery so I could complete a fresh install of both items. After the fresh install, iTunes would work IF (and only if) it was started by the installation script. If I try to start iTunes after the installation, windows pops a window that says "Please wait while Windows configues iTunes," after which it prompts to restart the PC. This happens EVERY time. That is, iTunes will run ONE TIME correctly when it's started by the installation process at the conclusion of a fresh install, but it will not run again. Each time I get the windows message.
Quicktime will not run at all. It gives the error message "Error 41: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control." However, I can open the Quicktime preferences from the Control Panel.
I get no errors or any indications that the installation process had problems or that the items did not install correctly.
I'm running 32-bit Vista with SP1.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Bump to top.

ITunes 7 won't run after reinstalled XP MediaCenter & reinstall iTunes7

We made backup copies of the iTunes folder on an external HD, then reinstalled WinXp MediaCenter (not full clean install) and moved iTunes files back from the external HD, then reinstalled new iTunes 7; however, it won't run now. When we click on the icon, it just says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience. If you are in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us." We've tried reinstalling iTunes many times. We've turned Antivirus & Wndows firewall off and on when installing, but no difference.
Anyone got any suggestions because my wife and 2 teenagers are lost without their iTunes and iPods.
Thanks,

Someone in a different forum said to be sure that iTunes is installed under the primary user with Administrator Privileges. I'm pretty sure I did that, but I'll try it again to see what happens.

The file favicon.ico does not exist anywhere in the oracle directory tree. I can log into my database using sqlplus and the username/password listed in the dads.conf. I don't see anything else that I should check...any ideas?

418849,
favicon.ico is not the issue
I see two issues:
1) If both dads.conf and marvel.conf are included in the Apache configuration, then that will be an error as you cannot have two Database Access Descriptors defined with the same name.
2) You're missing the 'ServiceNameFormat' string after your value for PlsqlDatabaseConnectString.

Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 14 won't run after installing

I tried installing the Lightroom and PS upgrades through the Creative Cloud installers - they install but won't run. Lightroom won't start at all now and PS starts, gets to the main window and immediately shuts down. I've restored, reinstalled, uninstalled all old versions, run CC cleaner multiple times sucessfully - nothing has worked.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks

Freemind won't run after install, can't find Java

Hi,
I attempted to install freemind using the following command:
pacman -S freemind
It installed along with the relevant Java dependency.
When I try to run freemind I get the following error:
which: no java in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin)
ERROR: Couldn't find a java virtual machine,
define JAVACMD, JAVA_BINDIR, JAVA_HOME or PATH.
When I attempt to run 'freemind.jar' via java itself using the following command:
/opt/java/jre/bin/java freemind.jar
I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: freemind/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: freemind.jar

Could not find the main class: freemind.jar. Program will exit.
Any help would be much appreciated

I can run Freemind - no problem. I have (previously) installed Java using jdk package
There are two possible problems:
1) Program's execute file is /usr/share/freemind/freemind.sh - it's shell script, so you will have to run it from terminal using command
bash /usr/share/freemind/freemind.sh (it's how I ran it)
Remember - you can't (usually) run Java programs from *.jar files, because Java has to have declared some variables first (that's what that shell script is for - Windows are using their typical exe files for running Java programs )
2) You don't have correct Java. There are two types of Java: opensource (openjdk) and "original" Java from Sun. openjdk is (fully) opensource, but lacks some of Sun's Java features, but because it's opensource, it's generally favourized (hope that it's the correct word) in Linux and Java-dependent packages in Arch usually installs that.
Try uninstall both Freemind and whatever Java you are using now and install first java from Sun (packages jre and jdk, jdk is mostly for Java developers and should not be needed to run programs) and then install Freemind.
Edit: It's possible that you will need to restart computer after installing Java (but probably not)

ITunes 10.5 won't run after install

Have done a clean install of 10.5 twice now ie uninstalled all apple software and reinstalled iTunes. After restart iTunes starts to load and freezes locked out all Internet access as well.
Any ideas?

I have solved the problem with iTunes 10.5 will not install on Windows 7 64 bit. I used Windows Installer Cleanup Utility available from softpedia.com to uninstall the offending program. It is the Apple Software Updater that would not uninstall from the Control Panel. I uninstalled all Apple iTunes 10.4, Quicktime and BonJour etc. and the Apple Software Updater would not uninstall, so the Windows Installer Cleanup 2.5 Utility did the job. Poor design of an Apple uninstaller.

GB, Itunes & Quicktime Won't Launch after update

Hi,
In desperate need for help. I just did some software updates on Garageband, iTunes and Quicktime on my G4 OS 10.3.9. Upon launching each, none of them are launching now. Help!!!!!

Apperently, after trying different methods, I removed GB, iTunes and Quicktime from my CoreAudio Setup and now everything works. I was using Digi002 as a midi interface and monitoring. Everything used to work with that setup until I did a recent upgrade of Quicktime. I do think that something was changed in my computer when quicktime was upgraded.

ITune & Quicktime won't run

I bought my girlfriend a IPOD Nano for Valentine's Day. When she tries to download ITunes and Quicktime on her 2004/2005 Dell with Windows XP Home Edition she gets an error message that says "ITunes has encountered a problem and has to shut down" and Quicktime says "Quicktime player has failed to initialize Error 2095, Please make sure Quicktime is properly installed on this computer."
We've removed and downloaded several times without any positive results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same problem with Quicktime... except my error code is 2096. Need help and very frustrated...

Word 2010 Macros won't run after installing Outlook 2013

Here is something I've never run across before. I'm hoping someone here knows the answer...
One of my co-workers has Office 2010 Professional installed and has for a year or more been running Word 2010 using a macro that opens a form for additional user input for the document.
For some reason that I cannot understand at all, he loaded Outlook 2013 and Lync. After doing this, his Word document will open but he cannot get the macro to execute the command button in the document. The macro does not fire, so to speak.
We have checked the Trust Center and the macro settings are at the lowest level. Still not working!
I have tried to simulate this by installing Word 2010 on my workstation where I have a full copy of Office 2013 Professional installed. Interestingly enough, similar results occur. I get a security warning that even though my Word 2010 instance
has macro security set to low, strips out the macro altogether.
I'm not all that interested in finding my problem but would like to get some advice on why he is having the problems after just adding Outlook 2013 and Lync. They may be related .
Thanks for any assistance.
Robert Stroud

Repair did not seem to have any affect on the problem.
So a bit of clarification - client has 2010 Office Professional including all of the normal packages. His company updated their machines to Outlook 2013 but did not touch any of the other 2010 packages except Outlook. They also added Lync.
I can duplicate the problem using a 2013 installation of Office Professional and then adding Word 2010 via another installation of Office 2010. Word 2010 was the only package from 2010 that I installed.
I have repaired the 2010 installation from the Control Panel. The Repair Utility does not seem to do anything except force the default .docm to show the Word 2010 icon rather than the 2013 icon.
If I open my .docm file with Word 2010, I get macro warnings even though the Macro Security is set to enable all macros.
If I open my .docm in Word 2013, the file executes properly and the macro runs as it should.
What is it that happens when one or more 2013 packages are installed that breaks the 2010 package macros?

Os x won't run after installing new HD

The power supply in my old iMac G3 failed, so I took out the hard drive which had os x 10.3 on it. Put it into another G3 imac that had been running os 9.2.2. [I did not reinstall os x because don't want to lose what is on the HD.] When I switch the computer on, the Apple comes up on the screen like it is about to start up, then the computer shuts down. HD is an 80 GB Seagate. Jumpers are set to Master and Slave. Please advise.

Grape G3, welcome to Apple Discussions.
First you need to check if your 9.2 iMac requires a firmware (Boot ROM version in System Profiler) update. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install/run OS X.
Jumpers are set to Master and Slave.
Since the iMac only has one hard drive, the jumper needs to be set to Master. Slave is used when you install a second hard drive.
Are both iMacs the same model? Usually the system files for one Mac are unique to that model & may not work in another model.
 Cheers, Tom

Flash CS3 Won't Run After Installing?

Double clicking the Flash CS3 icon on the desktop does nothing. I tried all of the compatibility options, I tried running as admin, nothing allows the program to start. There's no Serial number box that comes up, nothing happens when I double click the icon on the desktop.
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64

The closest I have seen to this problem is that if you don't
save the .as file, then the updated code will not test, but that is
logical, as the .fla needs to reference the saved .as to export
properly.

Quicktime won't open after installing windows media player

i just added media player, and quick time will not play anything. anybody else have this problem, and any suggestions out there? thank you.

Did you repair permissions & restart after the installation? If so, then try Flip4Mac and/or VLC media player instead of Windows Media Player.
Don't forget to repair permissions afterward the installation(s).
