Loaded 7.3-does not work-restored system-does not work-missing files?

I downloaded 7.3 and got a message that it could not upgrade the version of IPOD software found on cpu. Please uninstall and try again. Did that. Also removed all Itunes and Ipod software versions. Still got message. Decided to restore computer to before the 7.3 download. Now get error message that ITunes cannot run because files are missing. Doesn't say which ones. Any idea on how to restore old version?

My workflow is to basically backup my negative collection by scanning at the highest resolution possible and save them at full bit depth as Tiffs on offline storage. I then duplicate all the files as large JPGs and store them on my local machine. These are then all duplicated again and down sampled to 1024*768 to be synced with the iPad. After 2 1/2 years and a 16 page file documenting all the bugs, I finally got the small files to sync with an iPad 4. After all is said and done, it only took about 7GB to sync 50K Jpgs but did end up with a 20GB "Other" file that no one from Apple can explain. I have been seeing these "Other" files for a while and think they are some sort of memory corruption and the only way to get rid of it is to restore the ipad.
Bottom line, iTunes for Windows is terrible, very buggy, and unsupported by Apple. They can only help you trouble shoot restarting problems but there is no escalalation path for things that don't work. iTunes basically has a lot of trouble with samll number of large files and even a large number of small files.
I have been using Lighroom to convert the Tiffs to JPGs but ran into a problem that Adobe engineers didn't know about. Lightroom will only support a maximum of 512 mega pixels and won't load any files over this size. It appears it may load them as PSDs but not as Tiffs. Problem is Lightroom won't give any error message for files it won't load so there is no way to trouble shoot it.
What does work flawlessly is using Photoshop/Scripts/Image Processor.
In protest of Apples apathy I took every IOS device I ever purchased back to the Apple store and challenged them to either make them work or refund them. They gave a full refund for every device I erver purchased including $299 for the original touch which came out to about $3500. I even sent a letter to Tim Cook ([email protected]) but he didn't care either.

Why does most of the "system preferences" not load due to having an intel based mac?

I used to be able to access ALL of the items in "system preferences". Since the upgrade to Mavericks, which the Apple Store did for me, I cannot use most of them. It won't load my printer information. I cannot access security and privacy, users and accouts, parental controls, etc. Sometimes a window pops up and says "Preference Error" could not load.....pane. Or it will say "Preference Error" (and something like) cannot load ....... because it's an intel based mac. What the heck does that mean and why does it say that when I used to be able to access everything in the "System Preferences"? Please help! I'm sooooo frustrated and confused right now.

Since the upgrade to Mavericks
In order to get the correct troubleshooting suggestions, please, please pretty please, correct/update your system profile. Thank you
iOS is for mobile devices.

You need to do a full system restore from your last Snow Leopard backup.

Does PSA3 SE have Catalog Recover and Reconnect Missing Files

Hi Jim Jutte and Colin Walls,
I was looking at this thread over on the PS Elements forum where the submitter seems to have some problems where he thinks that some photo files did not transfer from PSA3 SE to PSE 5.
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc1dc66
I suggest that you also look at this thread. I don't have PSA3 SE to know what functions it does or does not have. If PSA3 SE does have Catalog Recover and Reconnect Missing Files, can he go back to his PSA3 SE Catalog now and do the Reconnect Missing Files and Catalog Recover, then retry the catalog upgrade again in PSE5?

Colin,
It's been a while since I'm used any bells and whistles in Access. What is
the function called?
Cheers

ITunes was not able to locate any of 10108 missing files.

Hi All,
just about ready to destroy my laptop trying to fix this issue.
itunes cannot find any of my files.
i have unchecked "keep itunes media folder organised"
i have unchecked "copy files to itunes media file when adding to library"
and i have tried many different "fixes" found around the internet.
below is what i am experiencing.
when i click on a song with exclamation mark i am easily able to locate it and get it to play.
however itunes never gives me the option to located other files?
this option did pop up once but has since vanished. further to this, when it did search it was unable to find any further songs.
i dont want to try fix this one by one as i have over 10108 songs missing, i also don't want to lose any of my playlists as i have put an incredible amount of effort into them.
short of deleting everything in itunes and reimporting, is there anything else i can try?
i am currently downloading itunes again in the hope that this helps solve the issue. but i have my doubts.
i'm off a macbook pro
any help??

The exclamation mark for missing files is shown if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a label change. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use CMD-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive label has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links, which should work if they are in the expected layout.

I downloaded CCcleaner, and after a ran it, firefox just seemed different. Can't google search anymore through the adress bar, and youtube is not loading properly, uninstalled flash and installed again, didnt work. System recovery didnt work. Plz help

It's probably the flash plug-in, but dont know how to fix it, other sites like IGN.com react the same way

A few helpful hints:
1) Don't bump your post. Everyone here is a volunteer and if your answer is slow in coming it might mean the right person hasn't yet read the post, no one can figure it out, or the question is so vaguely stated no one knows what the problem is. I suspect the last possibility is the case here, which leads to
2) State your problem first, not what you did. When we know what the problem is then we can take in all the details. Speaking of details, if you don't know which details are important and which aren't, leave them out. We'll ask for the details we need.
If Snow Leopard can be installed on your computer you must have an Intel based Mac and having an Intel Mac means USB will boot your computer.
I suspect that your problem is software too but we won't know without a fresh install and I recommend that your erase the drive and start fresh. Install Snow Leopard, install your applications, then transfer your data. Since your problem, or at least part of it, appears to involve your personal account I'd recommend that you not transfer it via Migration Assistant. Kappy has written an excellent guide about how to manually transfer data. It was specifically written for migrating from a PPC to an Intel computer but the same idea applies here so the instructions are 100% valid. You'll find it here.

Why does the iTunes AppleID system refuse to work properly without the need to reset the password every time I open iTunes for use?

Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.

Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

I-Tunes not appearing + crashing system, no solution works so far

General problem description
I-Tunes does not appear after program start, and the computer slowly crashes by other programs (explorer, MSN) all not responding anymore after a while
Sequence of problems
1. I start up I-Tunes from the program list
2. Mouse cursor changes to hourglass quickly, then back to normal
3. I get shown the license agreement (in Dutch, since I am Dutch).
4. I click on 'Akkoord' which is Dutch for 'Agree'
5. The cursor quickly changes to hourglass and back, but nothing further happens
Accurate Problem Details
ITunes.exe, Ituneshelper.exe and Ipodservice.exe all show up in the Windows Task Manager under 'processes'.
None of these programs show up under the 'applications' tab.
After going through steps 1-5, I can access some programs normally, but as soon as explorer or any aspect of it is accessed (such as saving a file in Paint Shop Pro), that program or explorer itself stops responding and crashes.
When I try to reboot my system, it shuts down all the crashing stuff (explorer etc). However, it also shows what I think is I-Tunes as 'not responding'. It has the I-Tunes icon, but the title is all garbled. Presumably, this is the I-Tunes program crashing. The computer won't, in fact, reboot, and just stands still.
Quicktime itself runs fine, and I have no problems with any other programs or instability.
Having my I-Pod Nano 4GB connected or not makes no difference, the crash is the same.
Tried Solutions
I searched the forums and help files for solutions - here's what I've tried so far:
- Uninstalling all Quicktime and Itunes programs, cleaning all files associated with them, using Windows Install Cleanup afterward, and then doing a clean re-install. No result, same problem
- Creating a new 'user' in Windows and running I-Tunes from there. No result, same problem. Crash is the same even when reverting back to the other user.
- Cleaning the I-tunes preference files, hidden files, system32 files etc, no results.
- Uninstalling and completely removing I-Tunes and Quicktime, installing a stand-alone Quicktime, then I-Tunes. No result, same problem.
- Installing AVG anti-malware software and scanning for malware. Nothing found. No result.
- Using an older version of I-Tunes, same problem, no result.
Thanks in advance
Any help from anyone would be very much appreciated. I cannot access my I-Pod nano right now, and have no idea how to get to it.

a preliminary question. do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC? i associate those symptoms with the nastier versions of NIS-2005-related itunes launch failures.

MacBook - bluetooth doesn't work and system will not shut down

Hi all together!
I have a problem with my MacBook with the newest updated Tiger 10.4.11: First the bluetooth went off and after using the hardware test the system sayed "no hardware problems". After this I recreated my system with the original MacOS-CD. It shut down properly but the bluetooth still didn't work (Meanwhile I've bought one of that 10 EURO external mini bluetooth adapter and it works). After updating, it did not shut down again and showed that bad "circle turning string thing". Then it went blue and nothing else happened. Sometimes it shuts down regularly but the most times I have to use the button for 5s. I don't think that's healthy for the computer. It seems that no one of my friends knows why this happens.
Greetings

Well, I can't guess for how long it has been like this. Don't take responsibility for something that isn't your fault, even if it is your friend's system. I wont. Should it be your fault I hope you tell us what measures you did trying to help.
Say what PSU you got. Model and name and specs. please.
The only case-to-motherboard connections you really need is Power. Start with getting that right according to motherboard and case manuals. You will probably not be able to see the text printed on motherboard about pin setting. And guessing will be of little help here. If you know what case it is Internet is your friend.

Apple 'backup' software not on restored system?

I have had a new HDD installed and done a clean install of Leopard up to 10.5.8. with no problems.
I have always kept a regular backup on DVD of my user files and settings using software called 'Backup' which Ive assumed was Apple software? I assumed this was a simpler tool provided if not using Time Machine.
This software is no longer on my restored Leopard system so I can no longer use the 'restore' function - although I can read data from the disk.
I am puzzled as to where & what this 'backup' software was? Can anyone help please?

Backup is not part of basic OS X install. it comes with a mobileme subscription. I don't use mobileme so don't know the details but I believe you need to activate your mobileme membership and then you'll be able to get Backup from mobileme.

Can not update my system and not able to repair disk

I havn't used my macbook pro for about a year, and recently I need to travel to another place and need it with me.
I see in AppStore that there is an update for my ios, I downloaded it, and run the install.
however, when updating my system. I run into some error, the installer says the update installation failed, and I should restart the computer and repair the disk before continue.
I tried to restart in safeboot, not working, the screen stucks at the apple logo for over half an hour.
And tried to restart with my harddrive, the system tells me I can not select that disk to restart.
I an able to run disk utility from the installer. I can verify disk permissions .
But when I run the disk verify, it gives me an error:
Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking file system
Performing live verification
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
The volume Machitosh HD could not be verified completely.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click repair Disk.
But the "Repair Disk" button (and the repair permission button)is gray and can not be pressed, when put my mouse over the "repair disk" button, a line of text shows up:
"repair the structure of the disk's file system, if necessary
Not available becaue the selected disk can't be written to."
the repair permission gives me "Not available becaue the selected disk can't be written to." as well.
What do I do now?

QiaQiaC,
which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

I cannot do a full system recovery due to missing files and I don't have a recovery disc

At startup, I continue to get a message to activate windows. When I try to do this, I get message that some files are missing. The computer will not allow me to go back to the earliest system restore, nor will it allow me to do a full factory restore. I have been having problems since the time I did an online upgrade from Windows 8 to the 8.1 version. The original factory warranty expired on 02/04/15. I have contacted t, he Costco Consierge Service, HP and Microsoft to no avail. When I purchased the computer from Costco, neither the computer, not the box it came in had a Windows 8 activation code on them. Can someone please help?

Enter the BIOS and load the HP Factory default keys. That should take care of it. BTW, if you do end up having to pay for the factory prepared HP USB recovery media, it only costs about $25.00 USD.

I just downloaded the new firefox and now my worldwinner site will not play the audio because of a missing file?

It will not let me play the bejeweled 2 game with sound the new version of firefox disabled my sound?? Please help?????

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
