I just tried updating ITunes to the new version and it will not completely download and now I get an error message of MSVCR80. Is there a problem with the new iTunes version?
Now ITunes won't open.Help!!!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

IDVD ejects disk during multiplexing and burning

Having burnt many DVDs previously, I have suddenly started struggling.
Having edited in FCE HD v3.5.1, I export to Quicktime and then build the dvd as normal in iDVD.
The project has no errors and then I burn it using Verbatim 16x certified 4.7GB/120 min Advanced AZO+ DVD-R disks.
During Multiplexing and burning (with between 1 and 3 mins left, it ejects the disk saying saying done but nothing is burnt.
To try to remedy this, I have set the burn speed to both 2x and 1x. I have also turned the computer off, removed all cables and battery, held down the power button for 10secs then rebuilt and retried. Still nothing.
I saved a disk image but I don't know how to then make that into a burnt dvd. Any advice on that would be appreciated but moreover, I'm sure I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to burn a dvd - Mac's should just work shouldn't they.....?!

Here's even more of an update, with no joy....
to refresh, I have a macbook pro 15" - the older one with the silver keys.
I make 3 min movies in FCE then export using quick time conversion and try to burn with iDVD.
The problem: I can burn data CDs but i can't burn a DVD anymore. This seemed to start after the update to 10.5.7. At that point I tried to fix it with no joy so due to deadlines, used another machine! Now a few months later, i come back to it and still no joy.
I have reset the PRAM
I have reset the CMR
I have upgraded to Snow Leopard
I have sprayed compressed air into the drive
I have reduced the burn speed to 1x
But still I can't burn a dvd. When iDVD goes through the stages, everything is OK until it gets to multiplexing and burning, it says it is 'writing lead in' and has 1 min left (or 2 mins when burning at 1x). Then the blue status line suddenly goes all along and the machine spits the dvd out saying done. (although iDVD does not revert to beginning of the process, it kind of freezes).
idvd version 7.04 if I hadn't said before.
Please help, I'm despairing....

Pages app will not complete install and cannot be deleted.

Pages app has been trying to install an update for a week. It does not complete the install and cannot be deleted. I have tried logging in and out of the App Store to no avail. Does anyone know how to force a reinstall of an app, or at least delete it. It is an Apple Brand paid app with no &^%$% tech support.

I Do have the same problem. I will try to reinstall it from iTunes as soon as I will get to my computer

I use Magic iDVD to burn complete movies and have started having a problem multiplexing and burning. I need to know what I can do about it so I can burn my movies.

I have been burning movies with iDVD for several years and once in a while it has trouble multiplexing. Usually I can fix it by doing a combination fix of turning off my laptop and unplugging for 20 minutes. Then when I'm ready to turn it back on, I plug it in, wait five seconds then turn it on. I then clean the disc drive with a dry brush cleaner disc. That has usually done the trick. Not any more. I'm stuck and don't know what else I can try. I have plenty of space on my hard drive, about 70 GB, which has always been sufficient for burning discs. If there is anyone out there whoi can help me, I'd sure appreciate it.

IDVD Will Not Complete Burning

I'm not quite sure why iDVD is having this problem. I have been able to burn DVDs in the past using the app, and all of a sudden, it won't seem to complete fully what I direct it to do. Can someone help point me in the right direction? This the screen I get--the DVD will pop out, and iDVD will stay on this screen until I hit cancel.

I had trouble burning anything with iDVD, yet I was able to save what I was doing as a disk image, and that burned okay. I could burn a CD from iTunes fine. Didn't know what was going on. Someone suggested cleaning the burning drive's lens with a can of compressed air. I also changed dvd brands to Verbatim (usually works fine) and S*ny. tdk may work....anyways, long story short, I'm back in business burning stuff with no problem whatever. repairing permissions and trashing preferences may help, too. Just posting this in the hopes that it may help someone. btw, I have a stock Optiarc drive and a Lite-On
snagged from a PC (yep, works fine, too)
there you go

IDVD will not start properly and subsequently crashes

I have installed iDVD '09 on my Mac Pro (Early 2008), as well as my Mac Book Pro. When I attempt to open iDVD on EITHER machine it can not get beyond "loading themes" before it crashes. I have gone so far as to completing a new install of iLife '09, but this doesn't help my startup problem. Any recommendations?

Have you trashed iDVD's preference file?
Close iDVD.
Go to your Home folder (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. Don't worry, iDVD will create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
Relaunch iDVD and see if it works this time.

Errors with Time Machine (not completing backup, and needing to erase the ".inProgress" package)

I have in a previous discussion been talking about errors with my Time Machine backup. The errors were with a problem with Indexing a file, it fails and stops the whole backup. Each time it attemps another backup, it fills my ".inProgress" package with a (nearly) whole backup, filling my Time Machine hard drive, and thus errasing my previous good backups. The error occurs after about 95% completion.
In my last post of a similar disscussion, the problem was indexing the Preference Pane files and this caused the whole backup to fail. This was my last post there: (below in some additional info of my situation)
I did exclude the MobileMe.prefPane. And I got:

Dec 17 03:40:50 Thomas-P-Kellys-iMac com.apple.backupd[99858]: Backup failed with error: 11
This time it was the Mouse.prefPane that caused the error. I'd like to exclude the entire PreferencePanes directory.
This was my error message this time:
I just realized this was on my small Developers partition. Perhaps there is an error with the build, OR an error with the initial restore. I'd like to perhaps exclude the entire /Volumes/Mac OS Lion GM. I expect that Time Machine is working fine with my main partition and the error happens when it's almost done with the Mac OS Lion GM partition.
The problem now is that I only have 265 GB of 3 TB available on my Time Machine HDD. If attempt another backup, it'll surely erase about 410 GB of my past saved backups. I've already lost 6 months, and I only have two months left of backups. I need to erase the ".inProgress" package again. That'll take time, and it's impossible to do from this main partition, even at root access. This ".inProgress" has a total of two (nearly) full backups; it didn't cleanup the first full backup attempt while starting the second,perhaps it would have had it finished. But I fear even if I exclude the whole "Mac OS Lion GM" partition, It'll create a third full backup before cleanup and erase ~400 GB of previous good backups. Then, I'll have a total of 4 (nearly) full backups! 3 TB is just enough without any past backups.
Maybe I'll just copy my documentations of my 'errasing the ".inProgress" package' last time (from the Mac OS Lion GM partition) and do a full restore of just that partition. Thus erasing the errors all together. If it doesn't fix the errors then this could be a bug in the build that doesn't allow Time Machine to work. I've always included this partition in Time Machine before, even with other Lion builds, so I suspect that it was an error in the initial restore. (I may be answering my own questions, and that the inital restore (of the small partition) is the problem, and I just need to re-restore the small partition)
Again, I'm going to have to erase the ".inProgress" file to regain 1.53 TB of space before proceeding.
Also, I gave myself permission to read the ".Backup.345781513.887697.log", the log that was created last night when I first started Time Machine this last time. It was interesting, but didn't show the error I could see from the console.
Right now, mds and mdworker appear to be going crazy even after I just now turned off Time Machine. I think I'll let it go for the rest of the night. Then I'll work on erasing the ".inProgress" package from the other partition boot up.
That was my entire last post. To add some information, I have two OS X partitons, both Mac OS X Lion. One is my large main partition, the other is one I don't mind testing with. I recently replaced my internal hard drive in my iMac and restored from Time Machine both partitions. This appeared to go smoothly. But I have yet to create a single successful Time Machine backup since. At first it was doing a Full Backup, which I didn't like, but now it just aborts around 95% completion. Each, time, it tries it fills the Time Machine hard drive with duplicate (nearly) full backups errasing my older good backups. I would like to erase the ".inProgress" file to save space.
My main question in this new discussion is does anyone know of a good way of erasing the ".inProgress" file? This is so I can preseerve my previous backups. ACLs and other permissions seem to make it impossible to erase from this startup partition, the one I'm running Time Machine from. Even at root level, if I give myself permission to change permissions or delete a file, it'll say Operation not Permitted instead of Permission Denied. I have been able to delete this ".inProgress" package before when booting from the other partition, but with great difficulty. I have had much help from another Member in this Support Community when it comes to solving my Time Machine problems. I think I have found the problem (indexing files in my small OS X partition), as stated in my copy& pasted post above, but I really need to delete this inProgress package first to save space before continuing!

See if there's anything you haven't done, that applies, in the pink box of #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting
Otherwise, since most (or all?) of the indexing errors are in OSX, you might want to just reinstall it. Something may have gone wrong sometime, that damaged those files.
I reviewed #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting and I have already done most of those things. I have just learned something new though:
When I included my Main OS X partition again, I got an indexing error for the first time for that partition. I might be interesting to note that the _spotlight process was running, and it's running again (the magnifying glass has a dot and it generically says "Indexing Tom's iMac"). mdworker, mds and backupd processes really are working hard, one moment they used over 500% of my CPU. It's nice to know for once quad core is good for something other than video encoding. (Now if they could just get the Finder to do more than 100.1%, only 1 thread is doing 100%, I'd like to see file size calculations 8 times quicker!)
I never got an indexing error once in the past 2 weeks for that large Mac OS X v10.7.2 main volume, and it had appeared to finish that partition backup before running into problems with my smaller test partition. Also, I had just updated the smaller test partition with a later build of Mac OS X. But It appears that the beta builds are clearly not the problem. I thought I could just restore again (from the December 4th backup) the small partition and both would be fine.
I'll finish reviewing all the suggestions on Time Machine - Troubleshooting and go from there. Hopefully, the _spotlight indexing simutaniously was the only problem. It's strange that the indexing hasn't happened since the original restore last week untill I finally got a good clean complete partial Time Machine backup. Why would the first Time Machine backup trigger indexing again?
For now, I'm going to exclude the Main Partition again, and let another good backup run. And try your suggestions. (And wait till mds, mdworker, etc. to finish!)
I have the logs of the first two sucsessful backups and the last two failed backups from the last 3 hours, if that would help.?

IDVD can't finish multiplexing and burning

Hi,
I recently upgraded for Maverics, from snow lepard. I am trying to burn my project in iDVD. It's dual layer dvd and project is two video files with 6 scenes selections of the lenth of 3hrs alltogether. I did similar burning few weeks ago on snow lepard with 2.5hrs long video no problemo..
This time I am spending 2nd day getting just negative responses from iDVD.
I am burning it PAL, 16:9, 7.7GB dual layer dvd and I tried profesional quality, didn't work, than both other options with same result. Tried to cut down to smallest file and retry still without success.
Is it just too big, or another problem with file..? or could that be Maverics not working the way it should?
In activity monitor I noticed that Pro transcoder tool is red not responding as well as enconder and thumbnail server and codec 32bit red out also..
Please any advices? I am thinking of downgrading back to snow lepard.., or do you have another advice??
Thanks very much for your reply guys!

Revert to your SL backup and do the burning. Simpler than trying to solve it with Mavericks, especially since Apple dropped iDVD from iLife.

Trying to restore iphone 5 as my phone just has 'searching' in top left corner. Phone will not complete restore and keeps having an error code '1669' have followed all the updating instructions for the computer

My phone has stopped receiving a carrier or 3G signal from EE. Have decided to try and restore phone to factory settings, but it wouldn't let me unregister from iCloud - so I then followed advice on this forum which said to restore the phone using iTunes. The phone now keeps getting to a certain point in the restore and then error code '1669' appears. I have tried to restore on many occasions now and still nothing. I have followed all the steps, i.e. updated itunes, computer still no joy - can anybody help. Thanks

The quoted error appears related to Security Software on your computer
