Itunes Ruined my life

Ok after i installed itunes my CD drive does not appear in my computer, in hardware manager there is a large rellow excalamaition point next to it. Also whenever i go into iTunes it says the registry is missing for buring and importing cds. I reinstalled and nothing happened. Im very very angry my cd diagnostics were as follows:

Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel.

Wait, so none of your songs are in mp3 format and in another folder say like MYmusic? But anyway if you have your files, but itunes wont work, use a different player to play them. Try, winamp (its free) and should be able to play them, unless there is something wrong with them. Windows media player, unless its the new one, might not have the right codecs for it. if it works you will have your music til they fix iTunes

    Sorry to hear about your collections mishap, just keep in mind this is a peer to peer forum for customers and you likely will not receive the help you are looking for from Verizon.
    Now you say that the account went to collections and you have paid it. So at this point I am not sure what you can negotiate anymore. I've read that if you have something in collections and tell the collecting company that you will pay them if they remove the negative mark from your credit, they will negotiate it with you.
    In this situation, if things are as you say and you did not receive the final bill at the correct address, then you may have an argument to take to the credit bureaus. I would file a report with the credit bureaus and see where that takes me, also once your account goes to collections to my knowledge it doesn't have anything to do with Verizon anymore. The debt is between you and the collections company. I would try to contact them and see if you can somehow negotiate having the collection removed from your credit report seeing as the debt has been settled and the bill was never sent to your correct address.
    I haven't really ever dealt with an account in collections, so this is just some helpful information I have thought of, if anything is not accurate in how you can deal with this, I apologize.

  • ICloud is ruining my life.  I can't download items when I want to.  How do I do this?  I click the cloud but to no avail.

    I Cloud is ruining my life.  It won't allow me to download my purchases even after I press the cloud 100 times.  I am so completely over Mac.

  • My iTunes has a life of its own.....

    Here is my dilemma. Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard my iTunes has had a life of its own. It never did this before. It starts up whenever it wants. I could be in Safari for example and suddenly my iTunes fires up a shows on the screen. I never click on it or nothing. It gets quite annoying after a while.
    At first I thought it might have something to do with me plugging and unplugging my headphones in my macbook. But it has done it once or twice without this action. The latest Snow Leopard update didn't fix it nor did the new iTunes version 9.
    I'm at a loss. Anyone else see this or have a solution?

    I have the same issue. Just today it's started happening. While watching a video I'd suddenly hear the intro to one of my podcasts, however when I paused the video the podcast would also stop. I close iTunes and all other unneeded programs when watching movies, and yet it opens by itself and begins to play the first podcast in my podcast library.
    This has happened 5-6 times in last few hours, and is now driving me to want to uninstall iTunes (despite my large music library, iPhone, and iPod--listening Apple?) so I can make it through a movie without this interruption.
    We all know how adept Apple is at issuing a software update when a jailbreak hits the internet, so why not apply some of the coding to this flaw?

  • Do resized videos (from iTunes) save battery life?

    I have downloaded two videos from itunes. What size/resolution are they? If I resize them to fit the iPod touchs screen resolution will I save battery life?

    If I resize them to fit the iPod touchs screen resolution will I save battery life?
    That's a good question that I've wondered about. The touch screen native resolution is 480-by-320-pixels. When I export from my eyeTV software, it's at 480x360. PERHAPS, using larger image sizes causes the CPU to work harder in resizing the content. This COULD lead to shorter battery life.

  • My computer uses Windows XP.  The latest Apple Update for iTunes ruined everything.  It won't load the software, and I'm getting flooded with error messages.  Is this latest update a bunch of crap?

    My computers uses WindowsXP.  The latest Apple Software Update put the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work.  I've tried that instructions on the Apple homepage (delete program, reinstall, etc.), and nothing works.  What's worse is that I'm getting error messages every time I log on to my computer.  Is this latest version a pile of pooh?  Anybody know how to fix this?  Or do I need to wait for Apple to figure out where they screwed up?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • ICloud ruined my life- how can I escalate this case further!!!

    The unthinkable has been hande to me by Apple.
    iCloud corrupted 40% of my documents. Then 'reset' the remaining 60%
    100% of my documents erased by Apple. This has taken 8 months of my life away, the apple care process has been woeful. So many Senior Advisors said they would 'take ownership of the case' and 'call me back'. Nothing, no call back- I am forced to call up again- explain the case again- be promised again by another Senior Advisor that they would 'take ownership of the case' and 'call me back'...
    I am left shattered.
    This was a few months ago- i have lost huge amounts of irreplaceable research generated from over 2000 hours of my own personal work.
    It was not backed up to my mac book as it was rendered inoperable when i 'upgraded' to OSX Lion.
    I did all my work for 8 months on my ipad. All documents were created and stored locally on my ipad. I had no access to my LaCie external because my macbook was inoperable.
    It was recommended by Apple Genius that I turn on icloud for Documents. iCloud then corrupted the documents and synced that corruption back to my documents locally stored on my ipad.
    I could then see all the images in pages documents view. But could not open them- that was for about 40%of my documents. I could still access the other 60%
    My account was then referred to the iCloud engineers. After a few weeks with no contact from apple I called up to chase up this loss of my documents- it had been going on for 7 weeks at this point.
    The senior advisor told me that my account had been 'reset' and should be working fine now..
    WHAT!!!! Reset!!!?????? so what about the 60% of docs that i had access to?
    Gone. Deleted from the icloud account, synced back to my ipad.
    All Gone.\
    If i had been contacted by the engineers. 'We cannot fix your corrupted documents. We propose to reset your account. That will erase all data and documents in your account. Is this ok? Please backup any documents you have on your ipad.'
    This would have saved 60% of my 8 months research- which is a lot.
    but no- no contact, just reset my account and erased my documents.
    its unbelieveable and unthinkable.
    I am a MASSIVE apple fan- i have 22 Apple devices and tell everyone in my network that all my dreams have come true with Apple- ridiculing them for using other devices. It has now turned into a nightmare.
    I WENT TO THE APPLE STORE IN SYDNEY IN DESPARATION- TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS AN IMAGE OF THE DOCUMENTS SOMEWHERE/ANYWHERE!!! I KNOW THEY CAN ONLY CONTACT ICLOUD IN THE SAME WAY AS ME- BUT WHAT OPTIONS DID I HAVE- I COULDN'T ESCALATE THROUGH APPLE ANY HIGHER- THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SENIOR ADVISORS AND ENGINEERS WERE AS HIGH AS I COULD ESCALATE. SO I WENT TO THE APPLE STORE AND TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD NOT LEAVE THE STORE UNTIL IT WAS RESOLVED- THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME- I STAYED FOR 8 HOURS- AFTER 1.5 HOURS WE FOUDN OUT THAT THE ENGINEERS LIKENED TRYING TO RESTORE MY DOCUMENTS TO TRYING TO REBUILD A BURNT DOWN HOUSE.
    We were about to release our energy saving App globally. I had a meltdown and just went away on holiday to New Zealand and Thailand with my kids- I couldn't face the reality of what i had to do to recover.
    I came back to try and get back on track recently. My only way forward was to forget about it and start again.
    AND THEN!!!
    I stupidly used pages on my ipad to edit a document from our development partner the other day. I opened my pages today, the document was there- then in front of my eyes all the documents shuffled around. Guess what- the doc I had edited disappeared.. In shock i called Apple Support. He asked me to check on icloud. com. 15 documents, not the one i want, advisor can see my doc- i cannot. I feel naseous.
    THIS CASE HAD ALREADY GONE TOO FAR. BUT NOW I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!
    How can i escalate further? There must be a way. This is not acceptable! Apple are messing with my life!!!!! I'm losing too much time and money- it's just not fair at all. Something MUST be done by way of compensatiing for this series of errors!!!!

    There's nothing anyone here can do for you, and I'm afraid I have little sympathy.
    2000 hours of "irreplaceable work" and at no point during those 8 months did you think "Gee, I really should back up all these hugely important files just in case my iPad gets stolen, lost, breaks or some other disaster occurs"?
    As soon as you noticed something was amiss, or even at the point when you still had access to 60% of your documents, why did you not take the opportunity to download a copy of them via iCloud.com (on any computer) and save them safely on a memory stick or other backup device?
    Having just one copy of any file is asking for trouble. Backing up regularly is the No.1 rule of computing. Apple is not responsible for your lack of any backup routine. Apple advise you to backup regularly. Being able to backup your iPad should've been your motivation for spending an hour or two of those 2000 getting the MacBook up and running.

  • Plz! Icloud has ruined my life:((

    I need to separate myself from an old apple Id but I want to preserve my contacts, messages and calendars... I have started a new account but I can't separate them??? Plz help me! I'm so frustrated with the Cloud:

    Does anyone know how to save contacts and calendars before restoring and switching itunes accounts?

  • Icloud ruined my life

    I'm sure it was user error somewhere down the line, but i have a terrible situation and i just dont know how to rectify it.
    I have an Iphone 4 and a recently acquired ipad2. I sync these with my pc via itunes using usb. everything has been great until i decided to try and use icloud so that i could sync my calendar between all threee devices.
    the main problem i am facing is with my outlook 2010 which i use for businesds use . basically i ended up with lots of duplicated items. i have over 2000 contacts in there and it also doubled up on the tasks for each contact. i deleted icloud from each of my devices as i just didnt get a very good feeling from it at all.
    Then my outlook ended up with duplicated tasks. It was really messy so i though i know i'll sync with my iphone so it bbrings it back to normal.
    Now my outlook is much tidier but each contact is missing hte telephone number.
    Here is the problem :
    Outlook database is now missing recent activity like notes and tasks as well as phone numbers
    Iphone database is same as outlook i.e. missing pohone numbers
    ipad has phone numbers
    How can i sync all 3 so they arecomplete records as they were before i used icolud. i dont have a backup of my pc

    To be honest dude, I'd give up on it. Three times over, iCloud has shagged my machine.
    Initially it buggered up my address book, which resulted in missing data and two days of h*ll trying to put it right. I gave up then but thought I would try again a few months down the line. Same thing happened, grrrrr! I swore I would never use it again and moved on.
    I tried again, stooooopidly, the other night, to see if things had improved. At first everything "just worked" but within 24 hours, my calender was buggered, locked in on Birthdays, and no way of getting back my inital calender. Furthermore, even when I discontinued the iCloud service, it was syncing back and forth.
    My advice; ditch it if you haven't already, it really is a bag of sh*te!
    Stick to good ole iTunes and a USB sync. Safer, quicker and overall less hassle.
    Best of luck.

  • Mavericks ruined battery life - Tracking down the cause? Mismatched RAM?

    My 2011 MacBook Pro 13" is only at 245 out of 1000. My battery life was easily 7 hours until I upgraded to Mavericks. Now I'm lucky to see 5. Right now I'm sitting at 4 and I just barely took it off the charger.
    No I'm not running a crapload of apps. Currently, Safari and Mail are the only ones open. I used to run lots more apps on Lion and still acheive 7 hours battery life.
    I have disabled a number of background process such as automatic updates and the like. My Bluetooth is off. My infrared remote receiver is off. All in all, I consider myself decently adept at keeping thigns running efficiently.
    I'm stumped. Could it be that I am running mismatched RAM sticks? I have 10GB total, 2GB+8GB.
    I've done lots of reading, this issue seems to hit people at random. Some people report almost 9 hours of battery with Mavericks, others report that their battery performance has taken a hit.
    Could this issue be related to the slow-sleep issue that lots of Mavericks users are experiencing? (Search com.apple.iohideventsystem.queue.tickle in Google; this process is causing a lot of sleep-grief for people)
    Is there a terminal command that shows what is going on with my battery?

    Forgot to mention, I tried a SMC reset. Twice. No change.

  • MMS is ruining my life

    I bought my daughter an ipod touch for her birthday.
    someone she does not know added her to an MMS message - along with 20 other kids.   now her iphone continuously receives messages from this group at all hours at night.
    we have contacted the group - but no one seems willing to stop using the same message thread.
    we don't know who originally started the thread.
    please help.  I'm about ready to throw her ipod in the garbage.

    So it's an iPod Touch 4th gen? Might be a good idea to update your profile with that information.
    Message blocking was only introduced with iOS 7. I am not aware of any way to prevent these messages from reaching her without changing her Apple/iTunes/iCloud ID, and doing that can have its own issues if she has ever purchased anything from iTunes.
    Sorry,

  • IPHONE RUINS MY LIFE

    At least my love life. I said goodnight over the phone to boyfriend last night, but before retiring for the day I did a few last tasks online. Since AT&T network was sllloooowwwwww, I got on my Wi-Fi connection. After a good 20 minutes, I turned the Wi-Fi off and then ALL **** GOT LOSE! I had 2 text messages waiting for me (from bfriend), and the last one was quite angry for ME ignoring HIM! Supposedly, he called 4 times in that 20 minutes while I was online from my iPhone, but my phone did not make any indications that I had incoming calls! It didn't ring, the missed calls haven't showed up, and all the calls went to my voicemail, which I only could see after I turned off the iPhone, then turned it back on.
    Unfortunately, it's not an isolated case. I lost business because I haven't received text messages, calls didn't come through and I didn't even had to be online! I called At&T and they said they fixed the problem, but now they are saying that even you pay for phone/text and the internet, please don't use then at the same time because it won't work! COME AGAIN???
    What can I do to prevent anything remotely close to this happening to me again? Is there any way I can keep this darn iPhone, and not get duped? I might have to consider turning to a competitor. I can't rely on running a business (and my life!) on such bad foundations...

  • Will iTunes ruin my other burning applications

    I just purchased a 5G 30 Gig video iPod, but have not yet installed any software. Currently, I use Anapod to load songs on to my 2G iPod. I use CDx to rip CDs, and I burn them (and DVDs) with Nero--all of which work fine. I'd like to keep Nero and CDx for my burning needs.
    I've read about a lot of the aggro with the latest version of iTunes for Windows, and I'm worried that it will cause problems with those other programs. I want to use iTunes to download from the Store and to load my new iPod. (I'll be ditching Anapod). So my question is: does iTunes interfer with other burning programs? And is there a way to disable iTunes burning capabilities?
    My system is a self-built PC with W2K (SP4) and an Asus P4B533 motherboard. Perhaps this question has been asked before, but any insight I can get before I actually start loading iTunes would be appreciated.

    usually, any conflicts that folks might get are related to device filter entries. so if you ever run into anything like that, this resource should be helpful:

  • A serious error has occurred or how the 7.1 update ruined my life.

    Ever since the 7.1 update to Premiere, I've had nothing but problems. The desktop app fails to update for every update, and appears to think it's out of date when it's not and then the icon in the menu bar will be grayed out until I reboot 3-4 times. The "workaround for that seems to be to force quit and uninstall the "previous" version and then download the "new" version from the creative cloud web portal. This wouldn't be that large of an issue, but it happens almost every other day.
    Then once I can actually open Premiere, the real fun with errors begins. I have received the "A Serious Error has occurred" screen on 30-40 (not exagerating) delightful occasions in the past couple of weeks, with no real details of what is actually wrong. It usually occurs while trying to fix an issue where my multi-clips aren't showing the audio waveforms in the sequence, but it has happened plenty of other mysterious ways. This is even more complicated, because it's happening on multiple systems and one of them isn't even using the 7.1 update and another is offsite and using different hardware. The same annoying error occurs across them all.
    Another super cool "feature" is that Mercury Playback Engine capabilities come and go as they please. Sometimes they work for Premiere or Media Encoder or After Effects, but sometimes they just pick one for that given day and don't let the other apps playback. All of the systems GPU were working just fine in 7.0.1, but now wtf Adobe?
    My system specs are varied, but the general idea is this:
    Mac Pro systems (4,1-5,1) 2.3GHz - 2.93GHz
    16-24GB RAM
    Nvidia QuadroFX 4800, Nvidia QuadroFX 4000, Nvidia GeForce 9800
    OS X 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
    A few of the systems have AJA Kona 3 and Kona 3G
    Most of the media is being accessed across 10gigE to a ProMax Platform, and the project files are local on SSD's.
    I have the bug report from Apple, so if that helps let me know so I can get that info to someone who cares.

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm still planning on attempting the 10.8.5 install on one of the affected systems. In the process, I have uncovered a new issue related to the CUDA acceleration not being there at all on a system that used to have it. That particular Mac Pro system only has a GeForce GT120, but the point is that in CS6 and CC, the CUDA was working until this latest update. The other systems have QuadroFX 4000 and 4800 cards, so those seem to be getting CUDA playback, however it is intermittent.
    As for the OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to install 7.1... That is correct. The Creative Cloud Desktop app was failing updating itself (as it still does on every "update") quite a bit, I don't remember any specific messages, but I did see somewhere along the process that I wasn't able to install the Premiere 7.1 update with my 10.7.4. One of the systems here is have a ton of issues with AE, but that's a whole new thread I think. I will attach some of those errors for kicks, but all of these problems occured with the introduction of the virus that is Creative Cloud into our working environment.
    I am working with a wide variety of media: R3D, 5D, F55 4K XAVC, Canon C-300, XDCAM EX, FS-100, ProRes. The projects that I've been having the most issues with lately has the Canon C-300 .MXF media mixed with 5D h.264 as a 2 camera multi-cam set up. The other project that was giving me a lot of trouble right when I installed the Premiere 7.1 update was R3D and F55 4K XAVC. Both issues were the "A Serious Error has occurred. Premiere will try and save your project" vague warning. I usually only lost work since the last Autosave 20 minute interval, but sometimes that is a lot of work and when it happens 10 times in one day, that is unacceptable.
    Here are some answers to some more of those questions:
    What other software are you running?
    These are all possible conflicting software (IMO) that are installed:
    Final Cut Studio 3
    Avid Symphony 6.0.3
    Cinema 4D R14
    RED CineX
    Davinci Resolve
    Nuke7
    Adobe CS5.5 and CS6 are still installed
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Yes. Trapcode Suite, Primatte, lots of scripts in After Effects. Lots of codecs installed from Sony, Avid, RED, Canon, etc.
    I think I've answered most of the other questions in this thread, but hopefully that helps. I will update when I'm able to get 10.8.5 installed. I suppose a clean install of 10.7.5 perhaps might have the same chances of fixing this as well.
    Here is the Premiere Error:
    Here are a series of AE errors, that might need their own thread:
