ITunes stuck in activation only mode

I have been unable to fix this with copious google searches. Computer is running Windows XP Pro SP3.
We are using the appropriate switches to launch iTunes in activation only mode and also to take it back out of activation only mode. I have tried creating separate shortcuts and I have tried doing it from a command prompt window.
iTunes is stuck in activation only mode and won't come out of it. If I log in to the computer with a different user account I am able to launch in normal mode. This problem seems profile related but I have searched the registry and been unable to find a key for iTunes that would obviously be causing this problem. The app has been reinstalled - made no difference.
What is the problem here? I would prefer to not delete the profile that iTunes is "stuck" in if possible. Thanks

Logged this as a SR on Metalink and the problem seems to be down to use of colons in my connection names.
I was using a naming convention of
host:SID for accounts connecting as system and
host:SID:schema for accounts connecting as specific schema
Which nicely groups and orders my connections by host. Sadly this prevents edit of stored pl/sql units (package, procedures, functions)

Can't change activation only mode to off using the command line in Windows 7 64 bit

I used the command line to turn activation only mode on and now when I use teh command to turn it off it will not change the iTunes setup. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling and it is stillin activation only mode.

Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
I appreciate your help, thank you.

ITunes stuck in the FINISHING mode when burning CD

I've had some rough times since upgrading to iTunes 7 - then uninstalling and going back to iTunes 6....
now when I burn a CD of my purchased music, iTunes goes thru the process but at the very end, when it's finishing, iTunes just hangs and hangs and hangs....STUCK in the FINISHING mode. I'm so afraid my CDs will not burn properly with this problem. How to solve? Thanks.

Editor stuck in read only mode

Am able to connect to a 9i database, but am unable to edit any code. Logon appears successful, connection made, and am able to query the database. However, when I open stored procedures for editing, the edit window doesn't respond to any keystrokes.
The editor behaves as though I were in some kind of read-only mode. However, when I exit the procedure, I am prompted to save "changes".

Iphone stuck in headphone-only mode

my iphone works fine with headphones plugged in, but is silent when they are not. It can't seem to tell that the headphones are not plugged in. When I use the hard keys to adjust ringer volume, the display says ringer (headphones) even when the headphones are not plugged in. I have to switch to speaker mode to make headphone-free calls.
Hardware problem?

This didn't work for my iphone.
Instead, I put the iphone on speakerphone for approximately 8 minutes and then it went back to the normal phone mode. However it phased back to headset only.
Is this a major problem that others are having with their iphones? Any other solutions for fixing this problem?

MC16C line card stuck in L2 only mode

I have a UBR 7246VXR with MC16C line cards in it. They are tied to a bundled interface. I have removed cable line card 4/0 from the bundle and tried to assign as IP address to it, but it says "IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links". I have never seen this before. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,

Well I found the answer to this one so I thought I would share it:
As of Cisco IOS Release 12.3(21)BC, all cable line cards are automatically part of virtual bundles. Removing a line card from one bundle means it has to be configured as part of another virtual bundle.

HT4335 iTunes Activation-Only vs. Windows 7?

Is iTunes activation-only mode compatible with Windows 7?

Apple TV: Safari-only mode (stuck)

Good afternoon,
I opened my mother's apple tv/internet screen in guest-user mode, expecting that all I needed to use youtube was safari. Unfortunately for me, not only does her safari-only mode NOT support videos, I cannot seem to get out of safar-only mode and back to her regular login screen. Even when I restart the whole system, it opens back up to safari-only mode. How can I reset it back to her correct login screen (before she comes home/finds out/kills me)? I can't seem to find an answer that works for me!
Thanks very much.

Oops. I'm not exactly Apple literate (and neither is my mother...that's why I'm trying to take care of this before she comes home). I don't know exactly what it is, but the internet that she has connected to her tv/apple tv.
Regardless of whether or not Apple TV has a safari browser, the (Apple) computer on her television is stuck on safari-only mode and will not switch back to her account/let me log out/do anything, really. Maybe you have a suggestion to where I should move this post, then?

I'm stuck on activation for imessage, I sign in but when it goes to verify email it gets stuck. The situation now is that the email verification screen for iMessages is not letting me access my regular msgs. Imessage has blocked my regular messages. I can only see msgs in notifications. Even in contacts the option for message contact has vanished. The phone is just stuck on the verify email screen and my mail is already verified by appleid. iv tried multiple working iTunes accounts but still no go.

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

IPad stuck in Activation mode and won't restore either...

Hi,
A few months ago I installed the developer pre-release for iOS 6.0 on my iPad 2 and it got stuck in activation mode. Today I tried to to activate it again and it tells me that the "activation servers are temporarily unavailable". I tried restoring it and it wont let me. It also gives me a message that says the firmware has expired. I have connected to multiple wifi networks and they all give me the same error with activation. What is wrong?

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
   1. Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
   2. Restore and wait for error 1604.
   3. When prompted, click OK.
   4. Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
   5. iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
   6. Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

HT201263 iphone 3gs stuck in activation mode. Please help

Help! My old iphone 3gs is stuck in activation mode. I contacted at&t to get the phone unlocked for sale. I was told by representative during a chat session that the phone would become unlocked once I did a backup and restore with itunes on my computer. I did this, then the phone was stuck in recovery mode. Through itunes I got the phone out of recovery mode, now it is stuck in activation mode. Any ideas? The phone has never been jailbroken or unlocked in the past. Please help.

Here's a troubleshooting guide for activation issues:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
If nothing works, try another computer, if still does not work, your iPhone may have a hardware failure.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.
