Mediasource hangs every time i start it

hi, any advice on how to get back up and running with Mediasource much appreciated.
MS seemed to be working fine until I tried to record from the line-in, which made it freeze. I tried a few times and it froze up every time. The next time I started up my computer MS froze as soon as I opened it, and so I could no longer even transfer my existing music files; very annoying.
I've removed and reinstalled all components several times but cannot get MS to fully start. The panel comes up, the icon changes to a hourtimer, and thats as far as it gets. If I have my Zen Touch connected, the tracklisting appears, but still I get the hourtimer icon and no further response.
Windows XP
Version 2.03.29 of MediaSource

nope still doesnt work
there were no .dat files (i had hidden files on) so i tried to delete the whole creative folder only to be told that I could not because another application was using it. This was despite the fact it was the first thing I had tried after turning on my PC. So I deleted the Mediasource, Nomad and Media Database folders individually, leaving the Creative folder empty. Still however when i start Mediacentre (or Player) it freezes with the hourtimer. Nomad seems to be working fine though.
I dont have Service Pack 2, as someone else suggested in another thread.
Its a SB Li've soundcard
Please any more suggestions?

Tempo service hangs every time I start laptop

Hi I have a Satellite L350 - 17P and every day it starts up it locks up. It works for about a minute then freezes. On starting it up the 2nd time it works perfectly. Any one have any ideas how to stop this pc doing this? It's a few years old now and I was not told it did this by my son until I used it one day!

Well it hung again even after uninstalling and installing tempro.
I decided to unistall it completely as hoped this would stop it freezing up but it didn't.
Today it froze as per usual but when I checked the problem reporting there was not a report nor did it give me any information as to why it froze again today.
Totally at a loss as to why this is happening, and how can it be fixed if there is no reason given for it freezing???

ITunes 7.0.1 hangs every time I start it

Ever since I upgraded iTunes from 6 to 7.0.1 it hangs every time I start it while it is "Determining Gapless Playback Information". It always hangs on the 19th song and I have to force quit iTunes just to be able to use my computer again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have managed to solve the problem. It seems that iTunes 7.0.1 is unable to play one album in my entire collection and it hangs if I try to have any songs from that album in my iTunes library. I managed to get iTunes working again by reimporting my iTunes library and then removing the offending album before it could get up to doing the gapless playback mojo on those tracks.
To reinstall the iTunes library
1- go to ~/Music/iTunes/
2- move iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
3- trash the iTunes Library file.
4- start up iTunes and go to ->File->Import and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from your desktop.
Bare in mind if you have a big library that it will probably take a while to import your entire file list. Try removing the offending song from your iTunes library and see if it works.
Strangely, the offending mp3 files play fine if opened in Quicktime. It would seem that something to do with the files encoding is crashing iTunes gapless playback process.

Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop? By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device. So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection. This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'. My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

Hello E
Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

How do I tell photoshop to stop opening the same document every time I start Photoshop CS6?

Hi all,
Each and every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (running the latest version I think....13.0.1 x64) on my Mac Running 10.7.5
the same document opens up. As if it thinks it crashed and needs to recover it. Im a member of Creative Cloud in case that matters.
I have saved the document and closed it properly and yet - it returns every time I start up the program. Can anyone help?
Its not a killer issue but extremely annoying.
thank you.

Yeah - literally can't find anything remotely similar. If anyone knows where I might find the thread to a fix I'd be mightly helpful.
Haven't a clue how to word to it any differently to try to find the answer.

Every time I start up my computer and load firefox, the theme I was using is not showing up.

Every time I start up my computer and load Firefox, the theme I was using has gone back to the default one. The theme is still on my computer and it works if I change it back, I just don't know why it won't show up when I first load Firefox.

Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads UNABLE TO CONNECT. I believe I accidently hit BLOCK rather then ALLOW. How to I reverse my mistake?

Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads......
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

ITunes Setup Assistant runs every time I start iTunes 7.3.1.3

The past 2 iterations of iTunes have had the same problem for me - even though the program is installed already, it doesn't save my settings and runs the setup assistant every time I start the application. I've gone through the assistant twice and put everything as I had it previously but, once I close the program and restart, the assistant pops up again and my settings are gone. I never had this problem until 7.3 or 7.3.1 and it's very frustrating... (>_<)<br>

Well, iTunes appears to finally work correctly. I don't know exactly why this is but it's due to one of three possible things. First, I uninstalled the 2 programs that I had installed to monitor what music I played for their services. These programs were Last.fm for Windows Version 1.3.1.1 iTunes plugin version 2.0.11.0 and Virb.com iTunes Plugin Version 1.0.0.5. Finally, instead of using the Apple Software Update on my computer as I had previously, this time I went directly to Apple's website, downloaded the entire iTunes + Quicktime install package, and reinstalled from that. After doing so, the Setup Assistant ran again but finally remembered my altered settings upon program restart. Now that iTunes was working properly, I have reinstalled both plugins and they now appear to function properly without negatively affecting iTunes. I hope this helps people who have also installed plugins to monitor their music listening patterns and had problems with the latest iTunes update.
