New Lightroom2 install won't launch properly - error message

I installed Lightroom 2 and filled in new upgrade serial number etc. then quit. Now if I try to launch the app I get an error message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". This appears first and if I click OK the Lightroom2 window appears but with nothing in it (no side panels, no photos) and Clicking on any of the modules prompts the same error message. Can't do anything at all. If I try to open my previous Lightroom1 catalogue it seems to be doing something but then the same error message appears.
I've repaired Permissions, verified Disk, trashed Lightroom1 and 2 preferences, rebooted without login items but nothing has changed or resolved the problem. I had no issues running Lightroom1 on this Mac.

Problem solved!!
I was checking the differences between my normal admin User account/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom contents and the one on the clean other admin User folder in the same place and noticed that on the one that works there are a slew of folders in there (Develop Presets, Export Presets, External Editor Presets, Filename Templates, Filter Presets, etc etc). On the main admin account, there was only one, the first. So it seemed the install on that account didn't load all the needed info. I simply copied the missing folders from the account that worked into the Public folder, switched to my main account and added those missing folders in the proper place. Voilà!. Now Lightroom launches normally and I don't get the dreaded missing modules alert. Hurrah!

iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

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.

New HD installed, GB won't launch no error message

I am working to fix my husband's computer. We bought it last Sept. and three weeks ago it had major issues. We sent it in to have the sleep sensor, logic board and hard drive all repaired and/or replaced (replacement done on the sleep sensor and HD, not sure what they did to the LB.) He is running a MacBook OSX 10.4.11. We also had the Geeks import his data from his old system to the new HD.
Every time we try to use GB, it bounces once and then stops - no error message, no launch, nothing but a note in the crash log. I have tried creating a test user as well as working with the permissions and deleting the preferences (or the reverse - I followed the instructions on Bullets and Bones...)
Called Tech support - they said to reinstall using Disc 2 - I don't want to lose all of his HD or even all the things he has worked so hard with up to now. But I am at a loss for anything else to try! My next step is back to the Genius bar to see what the deal is - he is very frustrated at not being able to use programs that had no trouble before.
Thanks in advance!

I've dumped the preferences list and reset the permissions to no avail. My only concern in doing a reinstall is whether he'll lose the audio files he's worked with up to now? Also, I'm confused because I was told to use the disc 2 for a reinstall but in putting in disk 2 there was only a text file saying to insert disc 1 to reinstall... I don't want to do anything rash here and have (many times!) greatly appreciated the value of the experience here on the Discussions boards - this is the first problem I've had where someone has not gone before me and I've been able to find an answer to fix my own problem. Thanks for sticking with me!

Itunes won't launch, no error message

I have an ipod shuffle and everything was fine till I downloaded the new version of itunes. Now itunes does not launch, it does not do anything atall, no error message, no hourglass, nothing.
Also, my ipod shuts down after playing for just 5 minutes. It seems like it is not getting charged even if I leave it in my computer for a while.
Quicktime launces without any problems.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ITunes 7.0.1.8 won't launch - no error messages

On 10/19/06 I upgraded to iTunes 7. The version on my system is 7.0.1.8. After installation and restart, I clicked on the icon and got a message that QuickTime wasn't up-to-date so I updated it. The on my system is 7.1.3.130. Since then I cannot launch iTunes. When I click on the icon the hourglass comes up for about 5 seconds and then disappears. I have gotten no error messages. I have used Repair on both iTunes and QT from the Add/Remove program screen.
I have read many of the postings here in the forum and am not certain what to do next. Could someone point me to course of action to take to uninstall/reinstall/downgrade, whatever, without screwing up the rest of my system?
I am running Win XP Pro, ZoneAlarm Security Suite, and as far as I know all my software is up-to-date.

OK, I took a deep breath and did the following:
-- using Add/Remove Programs, I removed all Apple products
-- I also removed the new Google toolbar just in case
-- I ran the Disk CleanUp system utility
-- I defragged the C drive
-- I restarted the PC
-- I went to Apple.com
-- I enabled pop-ups
-- I turned off the ZA Security Suite
-- I asked for the download of 7.0
-- It worked and iTunes loaded at the end
-- I restarted the PC w/ the Security back on
-- iTunes still worked after this test
I have to say I am hesitant about hooking up the iPod though. Maybe another day ... I hate messing w/ this stuff

New iMac Intel, won't do transitions, error message HELP!

My daughter just bought a new Intel iMac, specifically for the purpose of making movies with iMovie. She has run into a problem trying to do transitions, using primarily Cross-Dissolve. Sometimes she can put them in and iMovie renders them. Then, other times, doing the same thing with the cross dissolve on another photo or clip, she receives this message: "An unknown error occured - You may be able to continue without any probelms. You may also wish to save, quit and relaunch imovie HD"
When she saves, quits and relaunches, the transition is not saved and she has to try placing it again. This has happened over and over; quit, relaunch. Inconsistent results in that sometimes she can put transitions in, and sometimes she cannot.
She has repaired permissions, deleted iMovie's and iPhoto's plists. No resolution of the problem.
This is a brand new computer. She did the iLife upgrades just after setting up the computer, when prompted to do so by Software Updater.
No one else is using the computer. She has a huge hard drive.
What can help?
I saw that this same error message question was posted in November 06, with 0 responses.
We need HELP!!!

So far, she has just begun to create a new iMovie. Wants to transfer the video clips from the old project, as they are already edited. She is going to try that, knows it may be a problem, but thinks if she doesn't empty the trash, and reimports the photos, she might be ok.
Thanks for the luck wishes.
My daughter is my offspring who made an iMovie before I did using 'iMovie for Dummies' with v2.
Other than that, she used her Mac computer only for school papers and emails. She used to call me from college and tell me the Mac had broken, and I would talk her through whatever problem she was having. She became quite good with Macs, but then switched to PCs after she got married to a software engineer. She now is great with them, but really wants to make movies and iMovie is much easier than the PC movie software. I was hoping that her project would go well, but she becomes frustrated so easily. She had just put in about three hours of work on her project when she ran into the transition difficulty. She has finally forgiven me for not mentioning the caveat about emptying the trash. I asked her if iMovie warned her first, but she said something about not understanding the message and just emptied the trash anyway. With 250GB on her drive, she has no need to free up space by emptying the trash!
Will let you know how this new effort goes. Thanks for the support.

I am trying to activate new itunes card. I am getting error message: The code you have entered has not been properly activated. Does this mean the store did something wrong or me?

Yes, the store didn't properly activate the card. If the store is nearly then you could try going back and asking them to do so, if it isn't (or if they can't/won't help) then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

After installing a new version of Firefox, I get the error message "The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll" when I try to start firefox. Elsewhere in the forum a complete reinstall is suggested; however, I can't do that because of my company's IT policies. Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT a complete reinstall? Thank you!

If you can't reinstall Firefox yourself then you need to contact your IT department and ask them to check the Firefox installation.
