Obscure itunes css file opens at startup

Beginning recently, an obscure itunes file will open itself at startup. It is always the same file, here is its full path: /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/ru.lproj/iTunes Help/sty/genlist_style.css
As far as I can tell, it is a style sheet for some kind of help window in Russian iTunes (I'm not Russian)
The file will open in Coda, which is my default application for .css files; if I change that to TextWrangler for example, it opens in TextWrangler.
I have looked at the Console to try and learn more about what's happening at startup to cause this, but there's no mention of a genlist_style.css
I've been coming to Apple support forums for a while now, but this is the first time I couldn't find the answer somewhere. Please help me figure out what's causing this to happen.

Thanks for the great eye-opening remarks -- I guess I didn't realize that computers / Macs / Unix / software etc. was just so complex / sophisticated. Again, an eye-opener ---
---but glad to say that my problem doesn't seem to need major work --(fortunately!) - it turned-out that when I now started using my MacBook with the 320 gb HD there were 3 things (2 UNIX files and 1 folder) that somehow appeared in the "LOGIN AT STARTUP" section of the ACCOUNTS preference! I removed them and all is back to 100% OK!
Again - I really appreciate your reply and this opens the door to me learning a lot more about computers!

Steve

Why do my CSS files open in Chinese font?

My .css files have started opening in a Chinese font, in red.
If I open the files in BBEdit, they're fine. But opening them in
Dreamweaver always gets Chinese. I've tried making a new .css file
in BBEdit and then opening it in Dreamweaver, and it still opens in
Chinese. I've checked the font listing in Preferences and all seems
well. What is happening and how can I fix it?

Problem solved. Not knowing Chinese, I had to go back and
open the file in BBEdit, then change the charset back to utf8 (it
had somehow reset to utf-16).

CSS files open with everything selected

Every time that I open a css file in DW CS4 the entire file is selected in a dark blue color. To free up the page so I can make changes to the page, I have to click in the page press the space bar and then I can make changes to the css page. This happens with all the css files but this was not always true. How do I get DW to not select everything?
There is also another change that has occurred with DW. The css files used to appear listed together as source code files below the document tabs that are open. Now the code and document tabs all appear together in the same bar. How do I change it so they are back on different bars?
Any solutions to these two problems?

Anyone running XP who does
not experience this?

Old file opens with startup

I have been having an issue with an old file automaticaly opening everytime I startup Photoshop. This has been happening since Photoshop crashed while working with this file over a week ago. I have trashed the prefrances and do not know where to go from here. Any help would be great.

When it opens again, note the file name and do a save as to see where it's saved, then delete the file.

Itunes and mail opens upon startup

How do I keep itunes and mail from automatically loading everytime start my MacBook Pro 13"?

That did the trick. Thank you!

File Open Dialogue has forward slash and starts up on A: drive.

2.1.1.64
This is minor but bothers me each time I click file open.
Click File -> Open
File open dialogue appears.
SQL Developer tells me my A: drive is not accessabile after my A: hard drive makes a grinding noise. I almost forgot that little bit of info since I have not used the A: drive since around the year 2000. :)
SQL Developer puts a "/" forward slash in the file name box. Why?
I have to press OK.
Then navigate to the C: drive or another drive.
Why does SQL developer want to open the A: drive and not go to a more likely drive like say C:? Then there would be no message and no having to click OK? My recommendation is that SQL Developer File Open dialogue start up on the C: drive or at least just show the directory structure and not make me click anything. Remove the forward slash from the filename field also.

At first this seemed to work. SQLDev would startup and open a file for me from the r:\ drive in its own tab that I was previously editing in a prior session. File->open would startup on the R:\ drive. However, with no file in its own tab on startup no matter what AddVMOption I put in the sqldeveloper.conf file from the link provided SQLDev starts up on the a:\ drive? Changing the "start in" dir on the icon on my desktop had no affect either.

Css-file on Romote Site does not show changes

hello
I use Dreamweaver CS4 on Win7 64bit system.
I have a new website in construction and today the developer made changes to the Style.css file. Made the changes on an other computer and not in Dreamweaver.
Now, when I open the Style.css file from the Remote Site, it does not show the changes that were made. However when I delete the Style.css file in my Local Files directory and copy the Style.css file from the Remote Site to the Local Files and open it from the Local Files in Dreamweaver, it shows the new file with the changes that were made. But the Remote file keeps showing the old data.
I took several steps to try to eliminate this problem. Closing Dreamweaver and deleting the Configuration folders in Users>[NameUser]>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Dreamweaver CS4> Both in en_US and nl_NL, although the latter did not contain any files.
This did not work. Deleted the Style.css file on my Remote Site and uploaded it again from my Local Files. Nope. Still shows rthe css-file with the old data.
Anybody any idea where Dreamweaver gets these old data from and how to make it work differently?
greetings, Lex van de Oudeweetering

Hello Ken
I did not say my page is troubled. The trouble is that the style.css file opened from the Remote Site in Dreamweaver shows the wrong data, but in effect has the right data, because when copied to the Local Files and opened from there it shows the right data.
The link to the page/site in construction is http://www.lex-illustrator.nl/lexillus
And I have made screenshots of the opend css files and assembled them beside each other.
On the left opened from the Local Files and on the right side the same css file opened from the Remote site.
The orange dots indicate where they differ, the green ones the items that were changed today. So it's not a problem of only today.
http://www.lex-illustrator.nl/2xcss.gif
And I have to say I had issues before with updating files to the Remote server and how Dreamweaver shows them. Much of the times I have to delete the Remote file first to get it dispayed right if I check if it has worked by trying to open it from the Remote server.
So it's not only limited to this site under construction. It looks like a Dreamweaver thing to me.
Greetings, Lex

DW 8.0.2 + CF8 + Saving CSS file = Error

I have recently installed CF8 and it's running alongside of
CF7. Running Dreamweaver 8.0.2 which I believe is the latest patch.
This scenario has happened several times today...
I have a CSS file open along with a couple other files. The
CSS file is stored in
c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\siteFolder\cssFolder\file.css. I am running
CF8 locally in Developer mode. I have my web root shared so that a
backup server can access the files each evening, however, I deleted
that share when troubleshooting this problem and it didn't help.
Ok... with the CSS file open I hit CTRL + S. An error
appeared from Dreamweaver saying approximately...
"A sharing violation has occurred with
c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\siteFolder\cssFolder\file.css"
At that point, I can save the file under a new name. After
doing so, I can not delete the 'old' filename because I get a
similar/same sharing violation error.
Here are the things I tried....
Closing all browsers (primarily using FF2.0.6)
Closing/restarting Dreamweaver
Reboot
The only thing that helped was a reboot. After the reboot, I
was able to edit/test my CSS file for awhile but the error
eventually came back. So... I decided to try restarting the CF8
Application Server service from my MMC. Restarting the service
temporarily fixes the problem. I'm able to save my CSS again.
Unfortunately, the error keeps coming back and I have to restart
CF8 periodically.
Anybody got any advice?

I have been experiencing this problem too with ColdFusion 8
and Dreamweaver 8. Following the suggestion below and also clicking
on the 'Clear Template Cache Now' button, every time I see the
sharing violation error, it allows me to save the file again.
I am sharing this with you guys, since it has been really
frustrating for me having to restart ColdFusion every time this
problem occurred. At least by checking off the 'Save class files'
option and clicking on the 'Clear Template Cache Now' button, every
time I need it, I can avoid having to restart the service.
I hope Adobe can fix this problem, because I love ColdFusion
8, but this problem is really annoying and unproductive.
Good Luck,
Nelson

Within CF Admin... SERVER SETTINGS>CACHING there is a
checkbox with a description of:
"Save class files:
When you select this option, the class files generated by
ColdFusion are saved to disk for reuse after the server restarts.
Adobe recommends this for production systems. During development,
Adobe recommends that you do not select this option. "
I disabled it and tested in DW. No error yet!!

Any fixes for this problem?

Itunes will open upon startup of windows vista 64, but if closed, it will not open and i must restart my computer.

Itunes will open initially upon start up of windows vista, but if closes, it will not open up again. I have backed up all itune media files, i have uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products needed to operate I tunes according to apple, any suggestions of help would be appreciated. Thank you!

1. Check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
2. Go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. Rename file "APSDaemon.exe' into "APSDaemon1.exe" from this location:
32bit Windows C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
64bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
(Take note that this is a temporary fix which will also disable the capability of WIFI SYNC)

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

I'm trying to copy music from my PC to itunes. I open itunes, go to 'file', go to 'add folder to library', select the folder and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to copy music from my PC to itunes. I open itunes, go to 'file', go to 'add folder to library', select the folder and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Hello there, gleab.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

ITunes won't open, I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

iTunes won't open.
I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

This may indicate a corrupt preference file with iTunes trying to open the wrong location. Try holding down shift as you launch iTunes then choose the correct file, normally <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

My iTunes won't open and I am getting message "the file iTunes library .itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
