My ITunes wont open. It bounces once and then stops.

It started when I tried to download the new ITunes. I had read that it would fix when i updated my whole computer. Now when I try to run updates, i hit update and it immediately says that my computer needs to restart to apply the updates. I restart and nothing has happened.

Photo Boot doesn't want to open up, 10.4.11, bounces once and then closes.

This error is what shows up in the Console after I try to open Photo Boot. The program itself just bounces once and then nothing happens (it crashes).
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/ScriptingBridge.framework/Versions/A/ScriptingBridge
Referenced from: /Applications/Photo Booth.app/Contents/MacOS/Photo Booth
Reason: image not found
This happens in two iMac Intel Core Duo, with Tiger 10.4.11.

Hi Adrian
the error literally means what it says -part of photobooth is trying to open a file /System/Library/Frameworks/ScriptingBridge.framework/Versions/A/ScriptingBridge but it can't & clearly photobooth won't run without it.
you can look in /System/Library/Frameworks/ScriptingBridge.framework/Versions/A/ with Finder to confirm that the file is missing; sometimes just one file disappears like that.
However, perhaps ignore the above, since a quick search for where you'd find the scriptingbridge framework to download or reinstall from disk suggests that it was never in Tiger at all - and that you might be running Photobooth 2 ( a Leopard app ). do a get info on Photobooth via Finder & see what version it says... or check the full crash report.

Hi Guys:-
If this SAME problems is effecting us all then suspect its not IPS problem as we all get problem at 995.6MB.

Not possible for me to visit store now but will monitor your responce's.

Dock problem: Apps won't open, they bounce once and don't open.

hi,
my ex-girlfriend has had problems with opening up some of her programs (Mail, Safari, iChat, iTunes, Msn-Messenger, Skype) on the dock. They bounce on the dock once and then don't open at all. She said that it just happened after a recent update (17/9/08).
I've been trying Disk Utility and this comes up with:
+_First Aid Failed_.+
+Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Macintosh HD' because the following error was encountered:+
+The underlying task reported failure on exit+
Underneath it says: 1 HFS volume checked, Volume needs repair.
I have also used Disk Warrior and that also came up with the same error that this person got (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1459800&tstart=4).
I've even tried using fsck but that wasn't successful. I think I might need to work from disk utility from the start-up disks but was wodnering would I ahve to first back-up all the stuff that she has on her laptop at the moment???

I compiled what I could find on the application bouncing once problem.
I made it for Safari but much of it may apply to other Applications.
- Create a new user account on your machine.
- Log in under that new user account.
- Try to launch Safari.
If Safari launches under the new user account,
Then it's likely a preference file or some Safari add-on (e.g. "Application Enhancers" PithHelmet or Saft) running under the original account that's preventing it from launching. Remove them, if possible and clear the cache.
If Safari does not start under the new user account the same way it doesn't under your original account,
Deletion and reinstallation will be needed:
1) Back up your bookmarks to a safe location. Your Safari bookmarks are in Your Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist. Copy the Bookmarks.plish file to a flash drive, or somewhere safe.
2) Download Safari from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ and save it where you saved your bookmarks backup.
3) Download an application deletion software, such as AppCleaner or AppZapper. A simple Google search will provide you with download locations.
4) Once you have installed the application deletion software, run it to delete Safari. The application should find and delete all files related to your Safari install. This is why it is important to save your safari download package and your bookmarks backup to a flash drive off of your system. If you did not do this, make sure to uncheck these files from the deletion list.
5) Restart your computer and install Safari once again. Once you have installed it, you should copy your bookmarks file to the new Safari's location. It will be located at "Your Home/Library/Safari/". If their is already a Bookmarks.plist in the Safari folder, then replace it with the backup.
If deletion and reinstallation doesn't help,
Perform networking diagnostics.

My iTunes will only play one song and then stops.

In a playlist, my iTunes will play only one track and then it stops. Won't move to the next song, won't work in shuffle mode, just plays once and that's it! Any ideas? This just started a few days ago, maybe with a recent iTunes update? I'm in 11.0.3 (and of course, my AppleCare has just expired).

Hello kitkatmac
I would check to make sure that the songs in your playlist are check in the checkbox section. If they are not the songs will play and then stop once it is done playing like you have described.

Itunes wont open on my computer and wont come up when I plug in my Iphone

Went to use Itunes this morning when I pluged in my Iphone, itunes did come up but was not syncing to my Iphone, so I exited out of it and clicked to open it from desktop but nothing would come up. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but still nothing comes up.

That's the most current version, and rather what I suspected. Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

Follow the instructions to the letter here > iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Itunes 10.7 installed ok but when I try to open it, it starts and then stops?

Clicking on the Itunes icon, the program starts, asks if Apple can modify the drive. I click on yes and then the program immedietly stops.

Previewing itunes music plays for 5 seconds and then stops

Hi and Help! When I attempt to preview a song on itunes, the song plays for about five seconds and then ends.

Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
... and then click OK.
Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

Firefox opens a home page and then stops responding

I had no trouble until this evening when there was an update.
When I go to a website (I have tried a few) the home page opens.
When a try to open another page on the site I get the hourglass and Firefox stops responding. I have to close it using Task Manager and use Opera or Mousie instead. This started this evening. I was only offered a message to Microsoft.

Not really a reply just some more info. Task Manager shows two identical instances of FF. Both close when you try to remove one.
I decided to try reinstalling - Add/remove could not remove FF. The reason - it must have been uninstalled already!!!

hi kristen!
iTunes has encountered a problme and needs to close.
the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch?
if not, first try a careful standalone QT install. see:

keep us posted.

I copied a home video to itunes but it plays a minute and then stops

I created a slideshow with music using Movie Maker. I selected to output as MPEG-4/H.264 Video file. I then wanted to import to iTunes to play on my Apple TV. It looks like the file gets imported and shows the length of the file, but when I play it through the video stops after a minute and 1/2 and will not continue at all. Anyone experience this problem? If so, what can I do? I also know there's no hiccups in the file because I've watched this entire 30 minute video using Quicktime before proceding to iTunes import.
Need help!

Appleworks bounces once and doesn't open

I can't seem to get Appleworks to open- if I click on the icon or go to applications and click it there, it bounces once and then stops. It does not open. Any thoughts? It seems to be a different problem than recent "won't open" subjects. I have not changed it in any way or reloaded, etc.
I'm using version 6.2.9 on my ibook G4. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Scott,
You are having a problem with a completely different program, so your problem is not the same. Other than my suggestions to purplesally to use Disk Utility to repair permissions & to create a new Dock icon for AppleWorks, the solutions are unlikely to assist with a problem with Mail. Since we never heard back again from purplesally, we don't even know if those suggestions worked.
When looking for solutions to a problem to a specific program, the best place to start is a forum for that program or your operating system. For you I suggest the Printing & Faxing forum in the Category: Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier & then choosing the Mail & Address Book forum or the Using OS X forum.
However, some basic OS X troubleshooting/maintenance steps might help you. So, the first thing I suggest is repairing permissions using Disk Utility. Then, unless you leave your Mac on 24/7 & not asleep, run a utility to run the UNIX cron routines & clean caches. Two free ones are YASU & OnyX.
Also, make sure your hard drive isn't too full. It depends on how you use your computer, but for most normal users a minimum of 5 gigs free space at all times after installation is recommended. Power users may need more.
If this still doesn't work, repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility may help. Start up your Mac from the first Panther instal disk. Then, instead of running the installer, go to the Installer menu & choose Disk Utility. Select your hard drive in the left-hand panel & click Repair Disk. When it is done, quit Disk Utility then quit Installer & restart your Mac.
