Need Help- Poor Support Has Gone on Too Long

Quicktime error/iTunes error as follows- I tried running quicktime. It gives me a "Windows needs your permission to continue." Then, it fails when I press continue because "Run a Legacy CPL elevated has stopped working." This must be part of the problem- quicktime. Now how do I fix that?

+Run a Legacy CPL elevated has stopped working+
That's a fairly unusual error message. But, working from basic principles, a CPL is typically a control panel file. So perhaps first try heading into your Control panel, click "Classic View" and try to open the QuickTime control panel.
Do you get an error message when you try to do that? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)
(Checking on this, because this may give us a heads up on what might be going on with your QuickTime launch problem.)

  • 4th gen ipod, need help on what has gone wrong...

    i have a 4th gen ipod, bought less than a year ago still under warranty. the ipod service site for some reason is having trouble with my billing address for the shipping charges. when i type in my billing address (which is the same as my shipping address), it says "more than one jurisdiction possible (0,0)).
    ANYWAY
    the problem with my ipod is that, a couple weeks ago, the ipod seemed to not be holding that great of a charge, but no big deal. than it reset itself a couple of times within short periods of usage. then, the ipod will not work without a power source, or when its plugged into an outlet. only when plugged into a usb port. i get the ipod update software, install it, then it tells me to plug the ipod into a wall outlet.
    NOW, it cannot be recognized by the computer, no charge, and when i press a button to "wake" it, it just shows me a screen with a picture of a wall outlet. i left it plugged into the outlet all weekend. NOTHING.
    oh, and when it would only charge with the usb port, every once in a while the computer would have a pop up that says "the usb hardware you have just plugged in has malfunctioned".
    since i am having trouble with the ipod service, suggestions? this sound like a dead battery? if it is, i might take a chance and install it myself so i dont have to wait so long for it to be serviced.
    thanks and p.s. i dont proofread my posts (habit)

    Get a new battery put in it.

  • Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

    I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
    I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
    The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
    Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
    Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
    Thank you.

    Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
    Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
    Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder  or something else, such as Anything.
    If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
    If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the  Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
    Relaunch the Finder.
    If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
    Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

  • Help, my system has gone crazy!

    My imac G5 running Leopard, 10.58 Processor 18 GHz, Memory 2GB has gone crazy.  I cannot open ITunes.  If I try to download a small file it says my memory is nearly full and I need to clear disk space.  Okay I have a few songs on iTunes and 7,900 photos on iPhoto, but that is all.  I try to open a document in Word and it says 'you are working without a Word work file and your memory is nearly full'. I am not receiving e-mails when I know they have been sent. What is happening?

    Don't worry about Filevault, likely you're not using it if you don't know what it is, but...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileVault
    Less than 2GB free is very dangerous, you could loose everything as it's not really free space for our use.
    An 80GB drive is really too small for later versions of OSX, you need to free up at the very least another 10 to 20GB.

  • I really need emergency iphone help- please- it has gone into restoration mode and wont come out unless i click restore- if i do will i loose all my photos and videos etc? please help!!!

    i recently plugged my iphone4 into my laptop to sync, when i plugged it in, itunes told me that i needed to update my software, so i clicked up date and walked awayfrom my computer leaving it to do the rest, but by the time i came back to my laptop 2-3 hours later i had realized that it has run out of charge and because of it my phone had gone into retoration mode- and the only way to fix it was to press restore. what do i do? do i click restore or will that take my phone back to factory settings as i have a tonne of photos and videos etc that i have not backed up yet?
    what should i do anny coments or ideas please let me know!

    The first step in the upgrade process is a backup.
    Did iTunes not create a new backup when you first connected it?
    You really should be syncing your device and copying pictures off of it on a regular basis.
    Starting an upgrade without first syncing and copying the pictures off is not a bright idea.
    At this point, you only option is to restore.
    Also, in the future, ensure your laptop is plugged into external power before starting upgrades.

  • Need Help with External Hard drives and too much music

    I am not terribly tech-savvy, and I need your help. I have a G5 PPC dual processor with an internal 250GB drive. I have two seagate firewire/USB2 external hard drives. One is 250GB and one is 350GB. I want to know how to use them to get my Mac to run faster and better.
    My original hard drive is 7GB shy of being full. Almost half of this is my itunes library which is over 100GB. The older (250GB) hard drive has about 150GB of photos/videos.
    My Mac is running slow as molasses and when I power up the external hard drives it slows down to what I recall my original Mac Plus ran like.
    I use the G5 primarily to work with photos, illustrations and creating the occasional DVD with video and photos. the apps I use most often are Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I always listen to music while work.
    I hope all of this information is helpful! Here is my question:
    What is the best way for me to set up and use these external hard drives to return my G5 to its original blazing (to me) fast speed?
    PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    I think you should look at adding two 500GB internal drives. I'd say Maxtor MaxLine Pro for cost, but they also run much warmer (43ºC even when nearly doing zilch) so I'd go with WD RE2 500GB for $40 ea. more.
    dump whatever you don't need, trash anything that is hogging space and is just temp file or useless cache. Web browsers can leave behind a ton of small files eating up tens of MBs.
    Use SuperDuper to backup/clone your drive.
    Disk Warrior 4 to repair (after it gets to 15% free, or just forget for now).
    A 250GB drive formats to 240GB and you have ~3% free it looks like.
    For every data drive plan to have two backup drives.
    Keep your boot drive to 40% used.
    And your data drive to 60%.
    Backups can go a little higher.
    Drives are cheap and inexpensive, especially for the space and performance. And they have improved SATA over the years it has been out.
    By doing a backup followed by erasing your drive, and then restoring it, using SuperDuper, which optimizes the organization, skips copying temp files that aren't needed, it also defragments your files. I would do backup daily to different sets that you "rotate." And before any OS update. And do the erase and restore probably every 2 months.
    Make sure you keep one drive partition somewhere that is just your disk utility emergency boot drive that is not a copy of working system, used for doing repairs like running Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
    You may need to repair; backup; even erase and restore your external drives. Rather than spend on vendor made case, just pick up a good FireWire case either with drive, or bare (and add your own). I think it'd add 500GB FW drive though.
    Why?
    To begin backup of your current drive. To leave your other FW drives "as is" for now.
    Then install a new internal 500GB drive as well so you now have a good current backup, and you have moved your data off 250GB to 500GB. If anything happens, you have one off line FW backup.
    Then begin to clean up, organize, and get your FW drives working. It sure sounds like they have had some directory or file problems.
    You can find a lot of Firewire and SATA drive choices over at OWC:

  • IMac 27" with Lion upgrade ... daily hangs! Need help and support

    Dear Apple,
    Mid-July we got an iMac27" with Snow Leopard installed. First week of August I upgraded to Lion via web download (from Apple Store).
    Since then the iMac has frequently hung. It goes in two stages: 1) the cursor gets round with rolling colors for some time (the "force quit" or "shutdown" menu selections cannot be accessed because the mouse gets inactive for clicks), then 2) the cursor gets in the middle of the screen and resembles the gray round that rotates when the iMac starts up (but without the gray apple above it this time) ... it stays in that mode indefintely. I then have to shut it down via the back lower left button and start again. Now it goes into that "routine" almost daily.
    All softwares are up-to-date. I have also performed three of four times now the "Alt at start" manoeuvre, check disk and permissions with repair.
    Is it because of the Lion upgrade (instead of a fresh install)? (If so, how do I perform a fresh install and keep all settings/preferences.) Is it hardware-related ... although it looks like working quite good? Is it software-related ... how to clean everything?
    In case such issue has not yet come up I will need to call the Apple help center. Can a phone number be provided? Thanks.
    Regards.
    Pierre

    Your situation sounds identical to mine. But, with a 27" 2010 iMac and a 2009 Mac pro. Constant freezes, hangs, programs not quiting, unable to restart , shutdown.
    I did a full re-install of Lion on both the iMac and Mac pro, including a full initialization of he disk, and, instead of migrating all my apps and data from time capsule, I individually re-installed each app.
    Nada!..same problem..
    On this past Monday, I reformatted my Macpro and re-installd Snow Leopard - it works perfect now!
    Lion has got to be the worst product Apple has ever released. I have no idea why it works on so many Macs, when it seems to be so bad on many as well.

  • I need help , 8GB ZEN has 'Firmware Problem' mess

    Hi there I'm from Singapore & I bought a 8GB ZEN from West Mall's Harvey Norman last Oct .
    Eariler on , I realised that my ZEN has a 'Firmware Problem' message displayed on the screen . I try as might to reset the player countless times but no matter what , the message still appears & to make things worst I tried to call the customer/techincal support hotlines but they're closed for the day :S
    I don't know what happened , it was still working fine this morning when I brought it to Uni . Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
    Thanks
    Karen

    If you get the firmware error, you can go into the Recovery mode by holding down the Play/Pause button while turning on the unit. Then do a 'Reload Firmware'. This will clear the firmware. Download and run the Firmware update from the Creative website for the Zen. This should reaload the firmware with the latest version.
    If that fails, just bring the Zen and the receipt down to the Creative service centre and they will take care of it.

  • Need help: Dimensional column has assoc with more than 1 level

    Hi,
    I am trying to have multiple drill paths for a single dimension. For example, the Date dimension should be navigable by the following hierarchies:
    DateDimension
    +---- Calendar Year
    ......---- Calendar Quarter
    ............--- Calendar Month
    ..................-- Day
    +---- Calendar Year
    ......---- Day
    So, in other words, in Answers I should be able to add 'Calendar Year' to my report, display results, and then click down the path Calendar Year -> Calendar Quarter -> Calendar Month -> Day OR Calendar Year -> Day.
    However, when I model this in the Admin tool, it allows it, but then I add the column in Answers and get a runtime error:
    +[nQSError: 14064] Dimensional column [column name] has associations with more than one level+
    This is possible in BO and other tools. If it is not possible in Oracle BI EE, then one alternative would be to have two separate versions of 'Calendar Year' added to the report in Answers, each with their own drill path.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Matt Warden
    Balanced Insight, Inc.

    Hi,
    You try this one .
    Create the Hierarchy Year --> Quarter--->Month-->Week-->Day in rpd as usual manner .But in Year report use navigate option in column properties add Quarterly Report (Caption it as 'Quarter')and Day level report(Caption it as 'Day') in navigate option.So when you click on Year column it i will prompt to select either Quarter or Day and when u select Quarter u will have normal drill functionality from Quarter to Month to Week and Day.Hope this helps you.
    Thanks.

  • Stalled Scrolling and Other Problems- NEED HELP ASAP! HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED/SOLVED, STILL NEED HELP.

    Hello,
    Ever since I downloaded Firefox 25, I have had an issue with scrolling. If there was some way to record this, I would, but at this time I cannot, so a description will have to do. If someone knows a way to record what is happening, I will gladly do it to make what I am saying easier to visualize.
    On some sites I visit, scrolling will be what can only be described as "choppy"- I will attempt to scroll down, but there will be a small delay before the page responds and scrolls down. Thus, the scrolling does not go smoothly. This mostly happens on sites (tumblr pages especially) with non-scrolling backgrounds (ie backgrounds that do not scroll with the page) on them.
    First off, I do not think this is a problem with any extensions, my computer, or the sites themselves. When I open the same pages in Chrome, the issue does not occur and the issue does not occur in all pages.
    I have tried clearing the cookies and cache, resetting my browser, disabling hardware acceleration, checking the plugins (problem still happened even when all plugins were disabled), updating my graphics card, and disabling website colors. The first few produced no lasting result/fix, and while disabling website colors did fix the issue, it made the rest of the site/other sites (ones that were working fine) difficult/impossible to use.
    One interesting fact of note is this: If I downgrade to Firefox 24, the issue not only disappears, but stays away, and does not occur.
    Another fact of note: I have written a previous thread on this issue, but ended up not getting an answer to a second question I had. In the first thread, I was given this possible solution, referring to a bookmarklet I could use/try: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976244#answer-496960
    So my questions here are these:
    1) What is going on in Firefox 25 that makes scrolling choppy in that version, but not in version 24 or any other browser except version 25?
    2) How exactly do I use that bookmarklet I linked to? Where do I need to place it? How do I get to where I need to place it? How would it work? Is there a way to/Can someone make it into a Greasemonkey (I have Greasemonkey) userscript, if it does work?
    Also, is there a way to "bump" my thread without actually commenting on it?

    Bumping this. Are my questions showing up for anyone else? Because usually I get fairly prompt answers, but have gotten nothing on my last couple of threads.
    I'm sorry if I'm coming off as demanding, but I would like to have this answered, and it's frustrating to not have things at least replied to.

  • I need help, I have alot of questions too (swing, code, optimizing...)

    Hi, I'm having a little trouble with aligning my GUI correctly. Here are screenshots from my laptop which runs OS 10.4 & my PC running Windows 2000:
    http://kavon89.googlepages.com/clipper.png <= On the laptop
    http://kavon89.googlepages.com/clipper_windows2000.jpg <= On the PC
    I don't know why the OS 10.4 looks almost perfect and the win 2k is a disaster. I played with it on my laptop and once i came over to my PC to post a problem about somthing else, i noticed this issue on my windows box. My guess is that either the JButton on OS 10.4 is smaller than the one for win2k and causing the automatic organizing to malfunction... or maybe the pixels are larger on my PC then on my laptop.
    I was thinking that I should make diffrent .jar's for each OS since there are GUI issues.... or is there a way to make it universal? (i read somwhere about GridBag?)
    Next off, Is there any way to reduce the size of the space between the JList box closest to the top of the frame & the buttons & text box below it? I tried all sorts of resizing and it seems stuck on some sort of space there which i would like to make compact.
    Those are all the swing questions i have ^
    About my code:
    I recently added 2 buttons which are at the bottom of the OS 10.4 screenshot, Clear Box & Drop All. Clear Box is the one I made work, or so I thuoght. I wrote this for my Clear Box button (by the way, the button is sapose to just clear the text box directly to the upper left of itself.)
           if(e.getSource() == buttonc)
               textfield.setText("");
           }I thought that was the best way to go about clearing the text box. just setting it to blank. But after some testing to ensure there were no reprocussions, I found a problem... When i select somthing from my JList and hit Clear Box, it deletes the entry in the JList when it is not sapose to. It also does it when there is text in the textbox and i have selected somthing in my JList. I haven't been able to figure out why. Here is my full source code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class winclipstart
      JButton buttona, buttond, buttonc, buttonda;
      DefaultListModel clippedtxt = new DefaultListModel();

             if(index > -1) clippedtxt.remove(index);
           if(e.getSource() == buttonc)
               textfield.setText("");
    }There is a stray dragenabled true line in there which on my ibook showed that it drags after holding the mouse button down a little longer than expected, and it shows im dragging , but obiously not dropping because i haven't configured dropping yet. but on my windows machine it shows nothing of it. oh and, on the ibook it shows it with a green "+" and then makes it look like im trying to put it inbetween two other lines but does nothing when dropped like expected
    Another question: In the beginning of my code i have it loading the entire library with the *, and i noticed after turning it into a .jar that it loads slower than i expected... would a way to speed it up be to specify exactly what i need loaded after the program is finished or would it make no diffrence?
    :-/ seems my program isn't as cross platform as i exptected java to be

    I solved the code problem myself after a careful run through of the code, the "else" in my subclass made it so that every button other than the Add button deleted a selected entry, i quickly fixed it and made it an if statement.
    Thank you for the link cotton.m
    My question bout optimizing still remains though:In the beginning of my code i have it loading the entire library with the *, and i noticed after turning it into a .jar that it loads slower than i expected... would a way to speed it up be to specify exactly what i need loaded after the program is finished or would it make no diffrence?

  • Help.  display has gone permanently dim!

    i was downloading some things, fell asleep, i remember seeing the screen saver activated at some point. When i awoke the screen was black, the computer had gone to sleep. When i moved the mouse the screen activated yet it only returned to the dim screen(pre sleep brightness). the brightness slider in the Display preferences menu moves yet the screen brightness doesnt change. The manual controls (f1 f2) also have no effect. Since i was downloading at the time im wondering if it is a software problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    1. Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down apple/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
    2. The screen brightness controls are only active when the ambient light levels are low, cover the back of both speakers to mimic darkness and see if they work then.
