Motion 4 won't start - even after reinstall

Yesterday, I discovered that Motion 4 wouldn't open or save files. The menu just wouldn't open. Save As didn't work either. I tried to delete the prefs files, but the result was that Motion didn't open at all when I tried to launch it. I then reinstalled Motion from the original DVD's, restarted - and the same problem is there: Motion won't open. The spinning wheel goes forever, and there is no indication that Motion is able to launch. - Any suggestions? I have the lates versions of MacOSX 10.6 6 and Motion (FCStudio), I have 12 Gbyte RAM and I am using the iMac 27 inch 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5.

Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear enough. I used the suggested FCS Remover software (see above) to remove the apps, I then repaired rights, restarted the Mac, installed the complete FCStudio from the DVD's, ran the Software Update, restarted the Mac, tried to start first FCP, then DVDStudioPro, then Compressor - with the same result: none of them would load properly. The spinning wheel turned forever.
Later created a new user account (with Admin rights) on the Mac, switched to that user and tried to start FCP. The same result: the app won't start.
I started the apps from within the Applications folder, not from the Doc.
I was able to talk with a tech guy at Apple Support today, and the only thing he could do was to send me a document with instructions about deleting prefs. I already did that, with no result.
I guess I need help from an experienced support person to go through my Mac and find the reason behind this sudden and strange behavior.

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.

Firefox won't start even after disabling all plugins and reinstalling

Two days ago I updated my graphics card drivers (nvidia geforce) and it had some problems. I went into live chat support and after reinstalling some files it worked. Right after that Firefox wouldn't open, prompting me to restart or close. Hitting restart would take me the same place. It only opened in safe mode, where I deactivated the plugins related to the graphics card, and Firefox started normally.
Yesterday it didn't start again, even with those plugins deactivated. so I started in safe mode and deactivated all other plugins and it started. Today happened the same again but now I didn't have anything to deactivate so I could never start it. I unistalled and downloaded the installation file again and installed. The problem remained.
I went to the page Firefox crashes - Troubleshooting and filled in the crash report to mozilla crash reports page with the ID: 6cf4a525-9152-46f9-96f2-7ef282131023
The problem looks like it has something to do with the file mswsock.dll, but I'm affraid of deleting it.
Please help me.
Thank you,
Pedro

hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

ITunes on Windows 7 won't work even after reinstall.

I've got a friends Windows 7 PC here.
iTunes has gone AWOL. It keeps asking for permission to makes changes and then won't start but the process is running in task manager (and the icon has that blue and yellow shield indicating it requires elevated priviliges).
I couldn't use the built in uninstaller as it just sits there doing nothing when I open it saying "preparing to uninstall" or something, so I used Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it and any other Apple software I could see on the computer.
And then downloaded and reinstalled it. Exact same problem. Asks for permission to make changes and
Someone suggested disabling "Apple Push" in MSCONFIG but that hasn't made any difference either. Apparently that has to do with a process called APSDaemon.exe
Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to backup his whole computer and reinstall Windows and everything else for him from scratch.

Same problem here.
I am at witts end. I have uninstalled EVERYTHING labeled APPLE on my pc and restarted and reinstalled and I have the exact same problems.
*Double Click* to open iTunes. *Wait* ... Nothing Happens. *Open* Task Manager. Itunes.exe *32 is running under Processes.
Nothing is visible. Most of the time I can't even end the itunes process. I have to open up the comand prompt and type TASKKILL /IM /itunes.exe just to close it.
Is a windows reboot the only option? I have followed all of those links the support team keeps posting and to no avail.

Device won't start, even after charging (WT8-B-102)

I recently bought a Toshiba WT8-B-102 and i have some problems with it.
First of all i couldn't install the BIOS update for some reason, but that isn't a huge problem for the tablet works fine
but now i can't start it anymore. yesterday i had the same problem, left the Tab alone for a while, (on the charger) and after that it didn't start/boot. half an hour later i tried again (after taking it of the charger) and then it started, but today it won't start at all. Even if i charge it for some hours, then try it again, try to start it while being charged, etc. This is not good right?
I also don't see some led burning or any other sign when i attach it to the charger. Any ideas or help guys?
Thanks

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Photoshop Elements 8 stopped working, won't run even after reinstall

I'm using Vista. I installed a couple weeks ago and it's been working fine until today. On startup I keep getting the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I worked my way through most of the troubleshooting guide and when I couldn't find the preferences file to rename I figured it might be "lost" and I should just uninstall and reinstall, but that didn't fix it, it still won't start. I really need this program and it was a lot of money (for me). Getting frustrated! Anyone?

I am having the same problem and tried calling tech support was on hold for an hour and a half its
driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Did an online chat which was no help what so ever.
If I find out something I will let you know for sure...

Power Mac G5 won't start even after Repairing Disk and Permissions

I Repaired the Disk first by booting from the install disk and it did repair 1 item and then tried to reboot into safe mode to repair permissions and it didn't boot. I restarted by booting from the install disk again and repaired permissions and it seemed to repair alot of stuff. But it still won't start up.
I get stuck at the blue screen with the apple logo above a status bar that never moves.

PLEASE HELP!!
I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

Hi Kacey,
I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

Firefox won't load, even after reinstalling 9. This suddenly happened last week. it tells me there is an error loading the page. This only happens on this particular computer and no settings have knowingly been changed

About a week or two ago, Firefox stopped loading. It tells us that the page in unavailable. This only happens on our home computer which is a Dell running Windows XP. I think this happened after we upgraded. Today, I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still tells us that the site is unavailable. (Windows Explorer also tried to block the download). I cannot figure out where to look on the computer for programs that might be blocking access.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

ITunes won't launch (even after reinstall) Win XP PRO

Hey everyone,
I've been using iTunes for about 18 months now. The program is great and I can't imagine using my computer without it. I've recently finished adding artwork to all of my albums (over 300), which I've searched for myself in google, so you can imagine my frustration right now, as I'm unable to launch the program
There isn't really much to say. I try to open the program, but right after I double click the iTunes icon, I get a windows error message (the kind of error that allows you to send an error report to microsoft.. screenshot http://tinyurl.pl/rnxz - you probably won't understand the language, but maybe it'll help somehow).
I tried completely removing iTunes from my computer and then installing it again - the exact same error pops up.
It is also the same whenever I connect my iPOD and it tries to launch iTunes. So this basically means that I'm unable to update or sync my iPOD at the moment
Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong here?
PS. the problem didn't start after I installed the newest version of iTunes! It started suddenly. One day I come back home and try to launch iTunes, and it won't budge.

my Polish isn't good, but i can recognise an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message box in many different languages.
first let's check to see if this is associated with a broken or missing QuickTime. (itunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work properly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

Itunes does not start even after reinstall

Hi Ituners,
I have a 64 bit windows 7 PC. Itunes recently crashed. When I tried to run it, my PC would freeze up and I would have to reboot it. I followed the directions from the apple forum on doing a complete unistall. When I went in to uninstall the individual programs, Quicktime was not on the list. ??? I removed the other programs and went through the itunes related folders. Found quicktime there and deleted the folder (as per the instructions) and rebooted the PC.
Reinstalled itunes and all related programs showed up, but itunes will not run. I hit shift/ctrl and clicked icon to start program in safe mode. Pop-up on screen says that I may continue or exit. When I hit continue, it closes. Nothing after that.
Any help here would be nice. Itunes has become a major thorn in my side, but I need it for my Apple tv.

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

ITunes won't work, even after reinstall

Hi,
iTunes just bounces once or twice in the dock when I click on it, and refuses to open. It goes back to it's closed state after that, as if I never clicked on it at all. I've trashed it and all of its prefs, reinstalled twice... nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
Thanks!

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.
