  • Won't start-up, can't reinstall after latest update

    I was running the latest update that included a os x combined update and a firmware update. All was going well, and then the laptop restarted with the firmware update progress screen. The computer restarted abruptly, and never started up correctly since.
    Here's where I am now:
    The boot process is very slow and takes much longer then usual. Eventually my desktop background loads, along with the desktop icons. The menubar on top loads too. The dock does not load, and I can't open anything through the desktop icons. I can use quick-preview (pressing spacebar), but can't open any application. None of the dropdown lists work on the menu bar. Occasionally, the screen switched to black and blue and back to the usual desktop.
    Nothing works, opens, or can be accessed. Even the power button works, I need to shutdown with shift-control-option-power.
    I tried to reinstall osx, or at least access disk utilities to make some repairs.
    If I press option during the boot with the CD in, nothing happens, and I wind up the same position as described above.
    If I press C instead, I get a kernel panic during the boot process.
    I tried the CD on a different mac, and it worked fine.
    I'm stuck!!! Can't reinstall, can't fix, can't access!!!
    Any ideas or experiences with fixing this?

Ive tried repairing, redownloading, and removing both quicktime and itunes. ive ran compatibility mode in every type of windows os, as well as turned compatibility mode off. Im running windows 7 64 bit.

Ive heavily researched the internet and cant find anything for it. Please help me!!

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod nano 7th gen. after recent update

    I just downloaded the latest update for Itunes (11.1.2) and all of a sudden iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod nano anymore.
    It's a brand new one, 7th generation, only bought last week, and before the update all was functioning well. Windows does recognize the iPod so I don't know what the problem is.
    Things I did to solve the problem: delete iTunes from and reinstall it again to my laptop and restart the computer a couple of times.
    Anyone have an idea what to do or what the problem is?

    My IPod Nano will charge when connected to my computer but it won't come up on My Computer or iTunes. So I can't update the songs. I've already tried reseting the iPod. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.

  • IMac won't start with Thunderbolt Display connected after firmware update

    After updating my thunderbolt display firmware to version 1.2 this morning via the App Store, my mid-2014 iMac won't start up with the external display connected.  I can get the iMac to start up only by disconnecting the display's thunderbolt connector. After the iMac comes up, I can reconnect the display and everything appears to function normally.  I've tried several restarts and the iMac won't start up with the display connected.  Anyone else experience this?

  • X220 won't start up on battery power after BIOS update 1.24/1.25

    This is a really strange issue.
    I had been using my laptop with the oriiginal 1.10 (or whatever the very first one was) BIOS until yesterday with no problems. I head that there were some important fixes in the newer BIOS versions so I updated to 1.25. Everything seemed to be working fine until I went to work and turned on my laptop. It kept  crashing before Windows would load (after the post screen but before any of the windows screens. It just stays black for a long time and then flashes a BSOD and restarts). I tried downgrading to BIOS 1.24 but the problem persisted.
    It turns out that it does this whenever I try to start the computer without it plugged into the ac adaptor. When it is plugged in it starts up as normal but when unplugged it won't boot into windows. Once Windows is loaded I can unplug it and nothing happens but I still can't restart it without plugging it back in
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is this a known issue? Any suggestions for what could be causing this strange behaviour?
    If I can't get it figured out right away I will have to try to downgrade to the original BIOS version.

    LOL! I just tried updating to 1.28 BIOS and had forgotten about the problem I had last time (when I tried updating to 1.24/1.25). I was just looking up what to do and came across this thread. I took me way too long to realize I was reading my own post from months ago! Boy am I slow.
    I don't know if you are still subscribed to this thread Aamir but a hard reset is when you turn off the computer by holding down the power button until it turns off. Are you (were you) having the same issue with the newer BIOS versions as I am?
    I think that the x220 is an amazing laptop spec-wise but are there ever a lot of driver/software problems! I keep trying to use the newer BIOS versions but I always have to revert to the original because Windows 7 won't start if I am on battery power (so basically anytime that I am not at home). I just bought a mSATA SSD (which is why I tried to use the newest firmware, I heard that older ones don't support them) and though the BIOS recongizes it, now Windows won't start if the SSD is installed! There is not much use in having a laptop with lots of ports and expansion options if it doesn't work when you use them!

  • Itunes won't start and Quicktime, too

    've been trying to search for answers in the forum regarding my problem. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. I used to have Windows Professional 2000 but recently our IT guys changed it to Windows XP. Itunes and Quicktime work perfectly fine before but now it doesn't. Whenever I launch Itunes, it shows the following message:
    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Quicktime doesn't even want to launch at all. Tried uninstalling Quicktime and it says it's got fatality error and won't even be unistalled.
    Help!! I knew I encountered this problem last year and somehow solved it then but I forgot how I did it. Anyone who can remind me or help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    So I try to uninstall Quciktime, but guess what? The uninstaller refuses to work and it won't appear in the "Add/remove" programs control panel applet.
    let's try this first.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    after the PC has restarted, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into that PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    in Add/Remove, select iTunes. click "Change", and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, does iTunes launch properly again?

  • My Macbook won't start, and I must reinstall the disk. I haven't used time machine to back up, and I want to use an external drive to back up now. How can i do this from the utilities page?

    I am currently in Zambia on missions work and my computer is constantly exposed to heat. I have just been trying to avoid using it during the hottest part of the day. Today though, I started it up and it was stuck on the grey page with the rotating circle for over an hour, then once the circle left, it remained frozen on the gray page. I used command + r at startup to go to the utilities page to analyze the disk. It found that there were problems with the disk, but then it could not fix those problems and told me to backup as much information as I could and reinstall or redo it all. I haven't ever used time machine to back up any of my information, but i have an external drive that I can use right now to backup my files. I can't get into my computer though to backup the files. How can I use this external drive to backup my files while the computer is currently messed up? Please help.

    Emergency Backups (Data Recovery)
    A)          Format an external disk:
              (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
              Boot in recovery mode (power then Command-R).
                        Alternative: Network recovery boot (power then Command-Option-R keys)
              To format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
              Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
              Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
              Click on Partition.
              Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
              Click on Options…
              Select GUID Partition Table.
              Name: Emergency Backup (or whatever you prefer)
              Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
              Click Apply.
              Click Partition.
    B)          Try to boot in Safe Mode (power then Shift key).
              (This will be a slow boot.  Be patient.)
              If it won’t boot in Safe Mode, jump to C.
              If it boots in Safe Mode, try to boot in normal mode.
                        If that fixed your problem then start a Time Machine backup.
                        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
                        https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4055
              If not, boot in Safe Mode again.
              Go > Computer.
              Double click on the system disk.
              Drag the Users folder to the recovery disk.
    C)          To clone the disk:
              Boot in recovery mode.
              Select Disk Utility.
              Try to repair the system disk twice.
              Whether or not the repair succeeds:
              Drag and drop the system disk to Source:
              Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
              (Take care not to reverse this order.)
              Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
    Once your system is healthy, maintain two reasonably current backups.  (Time machine restores can fail.)
    Create either two Time Machine backups (good) or one or more Time Machine backup(s) and one or more bootable-clone backup(s) (better).
              Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to create bootable-clone recovery disks.

  • TS1717 Running Vista on old HP computer.  New version of iTunes was available to download so I did.  Now iTunes won't start and says it is missing MSVCR80.dll file.  Any helpful information on how to fix this will be appreciated.  Have uninstalled and ins

    Got advised that a new version of iTunes was available for my HP PC running Vista.  Upon downloading, wouldn't launch.  Uninstalled and reinstalled.  Wouldn't launch.  Both error messages said that a file named MSVCR80.dll was missing.  Any help in correcting this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I also posted this question and then Googled it.  The instruction was to delete, in order iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support and iCloud.   Uninstall worked for all but apple Mobile Dvice Support and i Cloud.  However, when I reloaded iTunes, it worked fine.  I hope this is helpful.

  • Itunes won't start, iPhoto / Front Row Hang after Leopard install

    I upgraded a Intel 2.0MHz 24" iMac this morning. I have never had any upgrade problems before. Last night the iLife 8.1.1 update was installed. Was using iTunes all morning. I got my Leopard CD via Fedex and popped it in. Install went smoothly with no issues. The only thing out of the ordinary during the installation was that I hit cancel when the Time Machine setup opened because I don't have a hard disc ready for it yet.
    All seems to be OK except for iTunes, iPhoto, and Front Row.
    1. iTunes hangs every time I try to start it and I have to Force Quit. Library is on an external drive that is available and working in Finder.
    2. iPhoto will open and show my library, but hangs anytime I chose Edit. Library is on main drive, but I have preferences set not to have iPhoto copy items to the library. I tried rebuilding library but that hangs too.
    3. Front Row hangs when I choose music or movies. I can't exit it and have to do a hard shutdown.
    This is my first disappointment since switching about six months ago. Any insight on how to fix this would be appreciated. I am fully backed up prior to install, but it was not a bootable backup.

    I seem to have located the problem. I disabled my Perian install and iTunes, iPhoto, and Front Row started working. I also reinstalled the MPEG2 support for Quicktime, but I believe Perian is what fixed the issue.

  • My iTunes won't recognise my iPhone or iPod after latest update?

    I downloaded the newest version of iTunes after being prompted to by a pop up, Since downloading and installing it my iPod 'Isn't recognised' by iTunes and has also wiped all my music off my iPod. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but nothing is happening at all. Anyone have any advice at all because I'm at the end of my tether here trying to fix this

    This possible resolution was posted in a previous thread on the same issue:
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    connect your USB device
    if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    Alternative, you could try this alternative installer:
    iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    which is actually the 32-bit iTunes application with a 64-bit installer - although it is primarily intended to address problems with playback, QuickTime compatibility, Outlook integration and issues with other third-party applications, it may be appropriate if your issue is related to an inconsistency between something within Windows and the "full" 64-bit version of iTunes.

  • Itunes will not open and sync my Ipad after Imac update.  Why?

    I had a computer udate on my IMac yesterday and now I cannot get into my Itunes at all.  I have no access to my music or videos, but my pictures pop up when I plug in my Ipad to the IMac.  There is a message that comes up on my screen when I try to click into Itunes and it says; "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."   I'm not sure what to do to be able to get back into my Itunes and sync my Ipad to it.  Any suggestions?

    If you've reached five authorizations for your iTunes Store account, there will be a button in your Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
    Regards.

  • ITunes won't recognize any of my devices after latest update.

    This is pretty rediculous, none of my devices (iPad and iPod) will show up when connected to iTunes since the last update. They show up fine on my computer, why must I try to figure this out because Apple can't test their stuff before releasing it. I guess once they have our money who cares, they'll just release the newer model next year and everyone will buy it. I've tried for hours and I can't get them to show up.

    Hello Liquid Drizzle,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Itunes won't start on vista home premium

    I installed Vista Home Premium and did a fresh install of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
    iTunes won't start and gives an error (iTunes won't start):
    Eventname: APPCRASH
    Name: iTunes.exe
    Version: 7.1.1.5
    Timestamp:45f8a616
    Name of the errormodule: StackHash_03ef
    I can't seem to find the solution in the Forums and internet.
    I deinstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times but it still gives the same error.
    Quicktime also won't start.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I deinstalled all codecs (including Nero), because windows vista solutions also pointed me in that direction, but no luck yet..
    okay. we'd better try swapping out your QuickTime now that the codecs are out of the way.
    sometimes with that sort of "error message free" launch failure with QuickTime, Add/Remove doesn't want to get rid of the QuickTime. so we'll try the following technique if that happens:
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
