ITunes window closes when trying to paste metadata via mouse.

For a while now, when I am editing the metadata in my iTunes window, whether it be music, movies etc, if I try to paste information into the appropriate space using the mouse, the window automatically closes without me being able to enter the data. I can paste info via the paste command in the menu just fine. I'm using iTunes 10.6.1. on an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any idea as to what is going one here?

There's a link in that article to another article about updating Windows drivers:

Immediate window close when trying to change wallpaper

Hello there, I have been trying to change the wallpaper on my computer for several days but whenever i hit the button for change picture it immediately closes the window and i am stuck on the same picture and i dont know how to fix it. i also dont know how to change the screensaver and it is getting really anoying. Thanks in advance.

Try deleting the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart.
After restarting, open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, and you should be able to change your wallpaper and screensaver

Finder window closes when trying to preview AVI file.. cant open file.

just bought a Nikon D90 that shoots HD video. After uploading the video's I shot to my iMac I am unable to open them. Going through the finder window.. once I click on the file and it starts to work for the preview the window will just close with no explanation. If I try to open the file from the desktop it causes quicktime to crash. Even right clicking on the file and clicking 'get info' causes the info window to open and immediately close.
I've restarted the computer... tried to upload the videos again but to no avail. The file size is 117.8MB.. but I dont think that should affect it.
The videos uploaded fine to youtube.

I think it's a good idea to check with Nikon; while you're talking to them, ask what format their cameras' videos are - from what I've read, AVI is not the actual format it's recorded in, but I'm not an expert on that - see the link to the Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioVideoInterleave
Also try to shoot another video in a lower resolution - don't process or do anything to it with the camera, just take out the SDHC card and see if that'll work. I suggested the MPEGStreamclip because if you can drag it into that app, you could immediately convert it to a .mov or .dv file and that should work with either Quicktime, iMovie, or whatever.
At this point, you also might want to consider trashing any preference file of any application you've tried using with that video just in case any of them have become corrupted.

Itunes unexpectently closes when trying to sync with Ipod

I can play music with Itunes without any issues until I either want sync my ipod or burn a dvd.
I have reisntalled Itunes from the original CD after removing Itunes, Ipod updater and quicktime from Add/remove programs. I have upgraded a few times and the issue still persists. The issue initially started when in version 6.0.2 which was a known issue and the fix was to go to version 6.0.3.

Hello there, ytnoj.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky endeavor and must be done in a very specific way. The following Knowledge Base article provides the step-by-step of the process:

the airplay icon is appeared in iTunes 12 on windows but when trying to connect it tell me this message (the connection is timed out)

Hello atef from egypt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where your computer cannot connect to your AirPlay-enabled device, please follow the information outlined below.
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Ethernet Connection
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.

Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

I cannot open a new window for FireFox.

The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Problems when trying to import metadata from SQL server using OWB

Hi,
We are using Oracle 11.2 EE on AIX and OWB: 11.2. We are in the process testing Oracle Transparent gateway for SQL Server and have installed and configured it on a standalone windows server. We and have run the ORACLE_HOME\dg4msql\admin\dg4msql_cvw.sql on SQL Server side, in order to query the SQL-Server data dictionary. We have created a DB-link and can pull data correctly without any problems. When trying to import metadata in OWB Client on win xp, we have created a non-oracle SQL Server Module and are able to connect and start the import, but the displayed table names look strange and can not be imported. In front of every letter there is a square box, so instead of ADDRESS (the address table in the source system) , it reads "squarebox"A"squarebox"D"squarebox"D"squarebox"R"squarebox"E"squarebox"S"squarebox"S and subsequently the import fails with :API0413: Illegal name [<tablename>] Name with preceding and trailing spaces is not allowed.
The gateway have been configured with the following parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=<connect string>
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Any ideas ?
This topic has been posted in the Heterogenious Forum as well, but as the problem is within OWB, I also post it here.
Thanks in advance!
Henrik

Henrik,
I've found other problems where OWB adds a space between all characters returned from SQL*Server which is what is happening in your case, although it is being displayed as a square box.
In one of these cases the problem was fixed by using the 11.2.0.2 OWB so would it be possible for you to try with that version ?
Also, as the problem is not with the gateway itself as you can select successfully using a database link then it would be better to follow up in the OWB forum -
Forum: Warehouse Builder
Warehouse Builder
as they will be able to help with the OWB side of the problem.
Regards,
Mike

Memory Error when trying to paste art into PS CS4 vanishing point grid

I get a memory error when trying to paste art into PS CS4 vanishing point grid.
"Photoshop.exe application Error The instruction at 0x7755886b referenced memory at 0xffffffff. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program"
I have plenty RAM, HD space, and virtual RAM/Cache in PS prefs.
Any suggestions?

Try disabling the Aeros theme by selecting one of the Windows Classis Themes under desktop customization. This seemed to fix the problem for me.

HT1491 Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not start

Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not open and start.

From iTunes on the iPad or from iTunes on your computer? BTW, you are trying to watch the movie in the videos app, correct?
if you synced the movie to the iPad, delete it and sync it again. Tap the Edit Button in the Movies tab of the Videos app and then tap the X on the movie icon to delete it. Then sync it again.
if you downloaded it directly to the iPad, close the videos app completely, reboot the iPad and then try again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?

Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?
Have tried the MS fixit tool with no success.
There doesn't seem to be a simple fix other than the complicated manual registry changes I have seen.
Thank you.

Pat:
Yes, this is where I saw the article detailing the MS "fixit" link...that didn't do it (other than removing Reader for me. The rest of the fixes I see involved either modifying the registry in some way all the way up to completely re-installing the system software (which is kind of tough as I bought the HP computer with Windows 8 already installed).
I am not keen to try modifying the registry...
I agree, it has nothing to do with Reader but thought this has probably affected many others which is why I posted here.
Thanks.
