My itunes application is not opening when i press it, how do i fix this?

can some one help me fix this, need itunes often!

I assume you mean "press it" in the dock. Does the ison have a "?" on it when you do that?
Are you able to launch it from your Applications folder?

I just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

i just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

I just purchased a new iphone 4s and opened itune store and purchased a ringtone. Today I tried to open itune store again and it won't run the app.
I pushed the itune store icon and it opens and promptly closes. I tried multiple times. How can I fix this?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

IMovie will not open after ram upgrade. How can I fix this?

I updated the ram on my computer by myself from 2gb to 4gb. Everything seemed to work fine, yet when I go to open imovie, it will not open after endlessly bouncing on my dock. I have verified disk permissions. Repaired disk Permissions. Tried replacing iMovie with the iMovie backup from my time machine. Cleared the system cache. Tried reinstalling it using the ilife 11 disk. Tried installing the previous ilife 09 version. Reinstalled snow leopard and did a time machine back up. Placed the old ram back in the computer. All this things done with no success.
DOES SOMEBODY HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHAT I COULD DO?
regards
Lloyd

Hi
My first two thoughts
• Faulty RAM - There are programs that can test this as Tech-tools (buy or in Apple Care pac)
• Wrongly inserted RAM - Can be tricky and sometime not obvious - everything's looks OK but in certain situations it just randomly don't work.
Take out the new RAM and try Your Mac without it to see that it's still OK to start with and then very carefully re-install RAM and now be very careful to see that it snaps in exactly as it's intended to.

Certain websites will load eg. Facebook, Google, etc. but others, eg. YouTube will not open. Why? And how can I fix this?

Firstly, I downloaded the latest edition of Firefox. It then crashed several times in a row. This is when certain websites stopped responding and refused to open. I don't know what the criteria are for which websites open and which do not as I have no problems with sites such as Facebook, Google, etc. yet sites such as Youtube won't open.
Also, If I search for something on Google, once it returns results, I cannot open certain websites from the links given to me by Google.
Eg. if I search Google for Musicnotes.com, I can click the link and the page will open. But if I search for my university website, the page won't open.
When I closed Firefox and went to reopen it, all I got was the "send error report" screen several times over. If I clicked "Close" or "Restart" Firefox, nothing would happen, it just returned me to the "send error report" screen. I then restarted Firefox in safemode as well as restarting it without add-ons. But I am having the same problems with opening websites.
What can I do?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

My current Itunes store is not showing some artists albums. How can I fix this?, My current Itunes store is not showing some artists albums. How can I fix this?

I am trying to download some new music and when I search for them in Itunes they have no albums listed. Is any one else having this issue??

You should be able to check if it's a new account by viewing its purchase history e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or on your iPad you can see a cut-down version via http://reportaproblem.apple.com (which optionally allows you to contact Support if you have a problem with a purchase). If it's empty then that implies that it's a new account.
If it is a new account then you could try getting access to the old account via http://iforgot.apple.com , and if that doesn't work then try contacting Support in your country : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If/when you get access to the account then you can update the primary email address on it to something that you do have access to (you won't be able to use an email address that is being used on another account) either via http://appleid.apple.com, the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad

TS3274 My iPad will not charge when plugged in. How can I fix this?

My iPad stopped charging when I plug it in. I have used different cords but that doesn't make a difference. I also can no longer sync with iTunes. Has anyone had this problem?

Have you tried a reset to see if it charges (and syncs) after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Itunes application could not open. Required iTunes component not installed

After 3 weeks of frustration, I would greatly appreciate any help anyone may be able to offer.
I have been attempting to sync my new iphone to itunes. Initially, I received the message *"This iphone cannot be used because the required software is not installed"* when itunes started.
I spent a week trying to fix this error, following suggestions to completely remove all apple software and reinstall, login as a different user, and disable startup programs including antivirus/firewalls (see *http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6326342*). After a week of frustration, I decided to wait for itunes 8, hoping it may resolve my issue.
I installed itunes 8, and now itunes will not boot, with the message *"The itunes application could not open. A required itunes component is not installed"*. I followed the instructions in this post: *http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8056494&#8056494*, without success.
I rang the Apple tech support line, and the tech support person was not able to fix my issue. I was told that they did not know what was wrong, and that I should reinstall Vista, or contact Microsoft. I am very reluctant to do so, as I do not wish to risk losing my otherwise stable system, not to mention hours and hours of installation time.
I have never had the experience of having such a high value product (iphone) not working, and being told it was essentialy 'my problem'. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I have not been able to sync my iphone with my PC for 3 weeks now, and I am becoming very frustrated. I feel quite abandoned by Apple. I love my iphone, but there is no question that this experience will make me think twice about an Apple product in future.
Thanks in advance,
Bartek.

Solution: It appears that Quicktime and iTunes versions got out of sync.
1) Uninstall Quicktime.
2) Download and install an older version of Quicktime (7.5.5 to be exact)

HT201210 I just updated my iTunes and now I get a message that the application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. What happened and how do I fix this? I can't access any of my music now.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
