I came back to my computer earlyer and itunes was open and i accidently closed it. I tryed to re-open it and it would not work. today i was doing some more research and found out about disabling bonjour service and that failed as well. I am starting to get frusterated!! any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Speedgrade wont launch in Windows 8.1. Crashes immediately.

    Hi!
    Second post today with serious issues with CC so I hope someone can help me
    I basically cannot start Speedgrade. I recently formatted my PC and upgraded a few bits here and there and before the re-installation everything was fine.
    My current setup:
    Windows 8.1
    Latest Adobe CC and Speedgrade as of 15-02-2014
    i7 2600K
    Nvidia GTX560 Ti
    Nvidia GTX 570
    16GB ram
    OS and Adobe CC runing on Kingson Hyperx SSD
    Let me know if I should provide any more info.

    Looks like I found the answer to my own question after digging a bit further: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1357443?tstart=0
    Looks like Speedgrade doesn't like a dual card setup! It would be great not only to get this fixed but for it to be benificial to th eoperation of Speedgrade. Resolve uses one card for the UI and the second for dedicated processing for grading and the performance improvements are amazing (yeah, yeah, "fill in the form", "feature request", yada yada - I know!). Just sayin' - we're paying a monthly fee to use this thing so please, please, please fix it soon! Cheers.

  • PS4 wont launch in Windows 7

    First off I have legal copies of both Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7.  PS4 Works perfect in XP.  I upgraded my computer and it came with Windows 7 Home.  When i first tried to instal CS4, it came back with error "installer may not have loaded correctly, do you want to load installer compatible with this windows operating system".  I chose yes.  The software loaded up all the way through.
    Clicked to open photoshop.  Accept terms dialog box popped up, cciked accept, then nothing.
    Tried it with both 64 and 32 bit icons.  Nothing.  Software never came up.
    I uninstalled photoshop, reinstalled again, went through the entire install with no issues.
    Clicked to run Photoshop, Accept terms dialog box came up, clicked accept, Nothing.
    Any ideas?  has anyone seen this issue and resolved it before?  All feedback greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    Hi,
    You have to install PS CS4 as Admin. Put the DVD disk in the tray and let it start but you don't want to install. You want to explore the disk. Look for the PS folder and the .exe file. Right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin. This will give you the proper security permissions in Windows 7.
    Also turn off any anti-virus running. Also turn off Windows defender if running.
    After install reboot the computer.
    After in stall you need to run the software as Admin too. Right click on the 64 bit PS icon, choose properties, Compatibility tab, and then check Run this program as an administrator. Click apply then ok to close. Do the same for 32 bit.
    Don't forget to update the software. Also Video card drivers too from the manufacturers web site.

  • Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

    itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

    I have same problem  on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC.    Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far.  Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
      It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes.     Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:-     open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes.   Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS.      I-tunes will now re-open ok.   You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
    A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

  • Itunes 8 will not launch on windows vista

    When I have mt ipod connected to the computer, itunes launches fine and automatically. When I try to open itunes without the ipod connected, I get a dialog box, "please wait while windows configures itunes", then a staus bar, gathering required information, time remaining, and then I get a message that i need to restart my computer. If I click "no" on the restart dialog box, it brings up the "my computer" dialog box. On numerous occasions I have restarted and still nothing. I did not have any of these issues prior to downloading itunes 8. Can anyone help?

    Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
    As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
    Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
    However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.

  • Itunes wont launch, though it says its running

    So heres the deal, got a new comp a few weeks ago and installed itunes on it. I'm running windows XP pro (same as on old one) and when I try to run itunes it wont launch. It says its running in my task manager though. I've tried reinstalling it, but same thing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    ok i think we might be onto something here with the first link, the dosent open after upgrade one. Everything went fine until step 7, the main SCinfo file exists, but the SC Info.sidb file that it shows being inside there is NOT there. Could this be a problem with the installation or something else?
    Though i suppose if it wasent there at all it shouldent hurt as your supposed to delete it anyways....but if thats the case (I certainly didnt delete it already)and the fix is to delete a file that isnt there anyways, i'm not sure that will help.

  • ITunes wont launch after sucessful install

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there...I have no problem with Quicktime loading...I have changed my speaker settings and even did the run program fix with no prevail...I am so frustrated...I dont know if this help either but my computer wont run windows live messenger either....it wont run anything after 7.0..............argggg

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
    some preliminary questions.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • Each time I have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''. i recently Upgrad to 9.0.2. i already uninstall and install.
    pls help me.
    thank you in advance .

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.
    The iTunes desktop shortcut is an "advertised shortcut". When you click it, the first thing it does is check the iTunes.msi and determines (against the installation database in there) whether or not there's any files and registry entries and whatnot for iTunes missing on your PC. If it finds something missing, it'll do a repair install of iTunes, which is the "configures" message you're seeing.
    As to why it's always doing it in your case, and fixing it ... we'd better first work out if there's real damage to the iTunes stuff on the PC or if the shortcut/itunes.msi/registry machinery is just a bit confused.
    Apart from the "configures" message you're getting every time you launch iTunes, is it working okay? Are you able to sync, play music, use the Store and so forth without any trouble? Or are you getting other problems as well?

  • After upgrade to 10.0.1.22 - "please wait while windows configures itunes"

    Hi all,
    After successfully running iTunes without problems including version 10, I routinely upgrade to the latest version 10.0.1.22 and all of a sudden now I keep getting this "please wait while windows configures itunes" dialog with a status bar before the iTunes application properly launches. Once its up, its functioning fine, but its annoying to get this dialog and status bar every time I use the application. What can I do? I tried a repair install and it didn't do anything.

    There's no trace of any other itl file on my PC
    Are there any files /Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes libraries/ ?
    guess this means I won't see my apps and music again
    Just because they do not show in iTunes does not mean they ar enot on yoru computer.
    Besides, you do make regular backups of your computer correct?
    Look in /Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ for your apps and /Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/ for everything else.
    If they are there then iTunes menu File > Add folder to library and select /Music/iTunes/ .

  • I keep getting a Please wait while windows configures itunes

    I keep getting a Please wait while windows configures itunes...
    It started this afternoon, I thought nothing of it and reinstalled itunes again and that seemed to have fixed the problem, but the problem has reoccurred.
    I've done a bit of research on how to fix for example going through to the regedit and changing the pcast Permissions etc but this hasn't helped at all, if anything Its made things worse because I cant uninstall itunes now.
    Please can anybody help me.
    Cheers

    If iTunes launches eventually then it's simply a matter of the installer not having correctly updated the shortcuts.
    Delete the shortcut to iTunes on your desktop and, if you have them, in the recently used/favouite applications area of the start menu and/or quick launch menu. Use the main *All Programs > iTunes > iTunes* icon to start iTunes. Copy this icon out to your desktop and/or quick launch menu if required.
    If that still doesn't work, create a new shortcut from the file at C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe and replace all existing shortcuts with the new one.
    If iTunes won't start at all then you have another problem that I'm thankfully (at least for me) not familiar with...

  • "please wait while windows configures iTunes"

    I get this message almost every time I start iTunes. It has been run several times, but will pop up often enough to be really bothersome. I run vista. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks

    Many users of iTunes™, and of other Microsoft® Windows® applications, have found their systems hiccup when certain applications are launched. This can happen when an application cannot get configuration data stored in the Microsoft® Windows® registry. In some such cases, the start-up is aborted but in others the application will rebuild the information it needs to run. When this happens, the user can receive the message “Please wait while Windows configures [name of application]” followed by a minute or so while the program’s start-up gets sorted out.
    Thousands, and possibly millions, of iTunes™ users have been afflicted by this problem which first struck me around the first of December, 2010 after an automatic update of the software, specifically to iTunes™ version 10.1.0.56. My computer runs Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Business Edition and its software is up to date.
    A Google™ search led me to many websites with information about the same issue. I found that a number of fixes had been suggested and were reported to have worked in some cases. For three weeks, I tried in vain many proposed solutions, usually a few times, including:
    • Via the Control panel, removing iTunes™ and re-installing it.
    • Trying the same thing but with Microsoft’s now unsupported Windows Install Clean Up tool, that quite often been able to exorcise from the Windows™ registry stubborn residue of previous installations gone bad.
    • Resorting to so-called Windows™ “registry hacks”, in an attempt to regenerate the application preferences for iTunes™ normally re-accessed on each launch.
    • Recreating Desktop “shortcuts” in various ways.
    No posted solution worked in my case but I kept on trying. After dozens of hours (OCD can be a fine thing in the right circumstances), I eventually did resolve my particular problem with an as yet unposted modification of the Windows™ registry
    Before proceeding, please be aware that a messed up registry can transform your computer into a proverbial boat anchor. Changes should therefore be avoided unless one is willing and able to spend several days reinstalling software from scratch. Notwithstanding this advice and subject always to the caveat in my closing paragraph, here is the sequence of steps I took that has momentarily solved my particular problem:
    1. Click the Start Button, and then Run.
    2. Launch the Windows™ registry editor by entering Regedit and then clicking on “OK.”
    3. Navigate the registry’s tree-and-branch hierarchy as follows:
    HKEYCURRENTUSER
    └─ Software
    └─ Apple Computer Inc.
    └─ iTunes
    At this point you may be unable to see two dependent “child” objects in the folder, one labelled (Default) and then SM Shortcut Installed but if you try you might receive an access blocked message. Continue with the next step anyway.
    4. Right-click on the iTunes folder and select Permissions, then Advanced, and lastly the Owner tab.
    5. Add as Owners of the iTunes folder the following valid user IDs: SYSTEM, Administrators and your own.
    6. Go back to Permissions and assign Full for the SYSTEM and for Administrators, and Read for USERS and then check to box at the bottom left of the dialogue box to apply these permissions to the folder’s dependent objects.
    There is no consistent reason why Microsoft™ Windows™ applications end up improperly registered. What worked in my case may not do so for you. Any suggestions made here are offered gratis and on the express condition that, in relying upon them, you accept sole and full responsibility for any consequences. My only assurance of a kind is to wish you good luck.

  • "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes" Pop-up (iTunes 7.0.0.70)

    Whenever I launch iTunes, I get the following pop-up: "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes".
    iTunes installs an icon on my desktop and a folder in my Start/Programs list. Now, I like to keep a tidy computer (ok..ok..) so I moved the desktop icon to my Quick Launch and I moved the iTunes folder from Start/Programs to Start/Programs/Media.
    Well, if I remove the desktop icon, it's ok. But once I move the iTunes folder from Start/Programs to Start/Programs/Media, the pop-up occurs.
    Why?
    I have iTunes configured on my home PC and my laptop. My laptop is fine (WinXP sp2)... the problem occurs on my home pc (WinXP sp2 Media Center).
    Any ideas???
    -Phil

    Thanks for the info. I'd rather not hide it
    completely. I guess I will have to keep the folder
    there until Apple releases the next maintenance
    release.
    You don't have to hide it completely. Move it where you want it on your programs menu, start iTunes, let it "configure" and create duplicate shortcuts in the root of the programs menu, then hide those new ones. The old shortcuts you moved will remain visible and stay where you put them.
    I haven't tried Loek's suggestion yet.
