ITunes will not open on win7 machine. It does under another user account, but not this specific one, although it is adminstrator and has access to everything. Please help.
User has all rights that I can see, set up as administrator.
O/S is Win7 and complete removal of iTunes and re-install of 64bit version.
Can not see the service running in task manager and no error message is given.
Have tried to run from .exe file and still nothing.
Quicktime runs fine.
Have also deleted AVG on a temp basis in case that was stopping it.
Please, any advise would be greatly appreciated as the young lad I am looking at this for has not been able to use
is Christmas present (iPod) to date.
Thanks in advance
Try this:
Start iTunes in iTunes Safe Mode:
1. hold down the Shift and Control key together and click to start iTunes.
2. when you see the iTunes icon in the task bar, click on it.
3. you will get a box that says "iTunes is running in safe mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been termporarily disabled." [I don't know what plug-ins I installed but you should clearly see that these so-called visual plug-ins are likely the cause of your issues];
4. click Continue to open iTunes.
Now press your sync button and everything should work fine.

Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up. Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program. Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account. I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists. Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?
Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?
Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change. -
Album recognized by Gracenote on one user account, but not another
When I am logged in to my computer as Administrator, iTunes recognizes my CDs via Gracenote with no problem. When I am logged in as "All Users," however, Gracenote is unable to retrieve albums and track names.
iTunes under both user accounts is 8.0.2.20, but when I'm logged in as Admin, a silver window pops up labeled "Processing..." and the tracks import normally with their names, artist, etc. When I'm logged in as All, however, a different window pops up when a CD is inserted; it's blue and reads "Querying Gracenote..." but it can never retrieve album information and times out.
Not sure whether this is an iTunes settings problem or a permissions/security issue that's causing this problem. I've made sure "Automatically retrieve track names from the internet" is checked in Preferences, and I've tried choosing "Get CD Track Names" from the "Advanced" menu, with no luck.
If it matters, I do know that iTunes has been installed, uninstalled and re-installed at least once on this machine, and that some old and new libraries have been moved around between the two user accounts. Any ideas?In your wife's account:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Transferred library to new user account but not able to download...
I transfered my existing library from the account I was originally using to my own new account following the directions that Apple provides http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203 however now I'm noticing that I cannot download music, apps, etc. in Itunes in the new user account, but still can when I sign into the old user account. Both user accounts use the same AppleID in Itunes. I cannot delete the old user account. I'm assuming that this probably be solved under systems preferences, but I'm not sure what to do. Thank you!!
FYI - I have the latest updated Itunes.bsd8896 wrote:
I was already able to tranfer my Music Media
Don't transfer just the music media.
The problem I am having is that I cannot download music, apps, files in ITunes when in the new user account. I am assuming this is because I have always downloaded in the old user account. I assuming something under the system pref in Itunes will fix this...just not sure how?
What happens?
How do you know you cannot download anythibng? Any messages/errors?
Try this...
Quit iTunes.
Transfer the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old user to /Users/Shared/ folder.
Open a Finder window and go to /Users/Shared/.
Select the ITunes folder, right click > get info.
Sroll to Sharing & Permissions and set Everyone to Read/Write.
Click the Gear icon and click Apply to Enclosed items.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder. -
IChat works in one user account but not in another
my computer phobic parents just bought a new 27" iMac and I've been using iChat's screen sharing with him to help my dad with the computer, we've already set up a separate user account on the machine for my mom we can't get iChat to work under her user account.
The apple rep had trouble using her Gmail account so he set up an AIM account but still no luck
I have her in iChat under my dad's user account and can do video chats and screen sharing with her, no problem.
But regardless of whether or not we leave her jabber account logged in under my dad's user account, we can't get iChat to accept her account info when she is loged into her own user account.
(P.S. parental controls for her account aren't activated neither is admin privileges)Hi,
Make her account an Admin Account.
A Managed Account and Parental Controls tend to be somewhat linked and a sliding scale of things.
If there is no reason to Manage her account there is no reason why she cannot also be an Admin account.
She should also Check iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security and see who is in the Blocked or Allowed Lists and see if you are in the wrong one.

A bit of a confusion on my part;
Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0. Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
Now, looking at this paragraph:
BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:
I wonder what runtime was deployed to the server. E.g.; if you are using CR 10.5, your assemblies will be 10.5.3700 and you should be deploying the following runtime (depending on 32 bit / 64 bit, etc.):
CRRedist2008_ia64.msi

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351342008E/CRBasicVS2008_redist_x86.zip
One way to check on what is actually loading is to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility.

When my iPad is connected to the internet via WiFi I can pretty much browse without problems. However, there are certain instances where a web page is requested and I get, after a bit of time passes, “Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding”. Repeated attempts to access these web pages via WiFi connection always yield the same results. However, if I turn off WiFi I can access the same pages almost instatntly via cellular connection. Any suggestions?
What is the URL which won't open?

IPhoto '11 works on one user account but not the other
I upgraded to iPhoto '11 from iPhoto '08 a couple of weeks ago using the MacApp store. After doing so, I opened the application on my main user account, received a message that the library had to be updated, the application did so, and it has been working wonderfully since. The problem I'm having is with my wife's user account. I did not open the application and upgrade the library immediately on this account. Before I could do so, my wife hooked up her iPhone to sync, which automatically opened iPhoto. I get the gray screen with the large spinning wheel in the center, and her library never appears. I have tried two strategies to fix this, and so far, have had no luck. The first was to hold option while launching the application, and selecting her library. I get the exact same result doing this. My next strategy was to completely delete iPhoto from my system, then re-download and reinstall it, and try to open the library once again. Unfortunately, this did not work. I thought the next step should be to delete iPhoto '11, reinstall iPhoto '08, open my wife's library using iPhoto '08, then reinstall '11 and upgrade her library. Since iLife came preinstalled on my mac when I purchased it years ago, I'm not certain how to reinstall iPhoto '08. Does anyone know how to do this, or have another suggestion for solving this problem? Thank you in advance for your help!

SFTP works on one user account, but not another
I am using a Mac Mini running Mavericks. I am trying to upload via sftp my homework. I have been able to do so on a test user account. But not my primary account. I double checked my settings on both. Both look identical. I am using Fugu as my client for sftp. I previous have been able to upload with Dreamweaver. But now nothing.

Washed Out Color on One User Account But Not The Other
Heyo,
I'm on my second Macbook Pro. Apple had to replace the first one. But that's behind us.
Anyway, I have a bit of a predicament. I've noticed that the colors on my main user account are washed out and dull. I created a new user account to see if the problem was a hardware or software issue.
The thing is, the account with washed out colors has Adobe Photoshop, and the rest of the Design Premium CS3 suite - as well as Final Cut Studio 2 - but these are not on the other.
So, I'm guessing that this issue is connected with CS3 and FCS 2.
This issue appears regardless of what color profile I use. But I normally use the Adobe RGB profile - which is what I used to test the other account.
Any ideas what I could do to get my color back? Is there a setting I can change for this?
Thanks for any help,
MichaelI'd try to isolate a corrupted user preference file.
Apparently, Diskwarrior now claims to fix those. Or you can just look through the preferences folder in your user folder and start pulling some of those out to the disktop, log out and then log back in and see if that does anything.
When something is affecting one account but no others, I think the clear majority of the time it is a user preference file that is responsible.
