Please Help! Error Message, Can't Uninstall or Open

I have itunes on a newer computer. It recently stopped opening and I get "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." I get this SAME message when trying to uninstall itunes. I try and install a new version over it, same message. PLEASE HELP. I don't want to have to reformat my computer, but I'm feeling almost like it is the only way to do it.

Use this microsoft installer cleanup tool to get reid of itunes, then quicktime.

Then try a fresh iTunes install.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I CAN 'T BURN ANY CD'S AFTER INSTALLINF 7.02 ITUNES. I WILL BEGIN TO BURN, IT PROCEEDS TO "CHECKING PLAYLIST" THEN "WRITING SONG" THE CANCELS BURN!!!! I HAVE GONE THRU A WHOLE PACK OF CD'S. oNE ERROR MESSAGE SAID THAT THE CD HAD TO BE CALIBRATED BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I have this problem as well. I can burn CDs at the highest speed using both media player and Sonic. I have:
1. repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes
2. uninstalled and reinstalled my CD burner and IDE channels in device manager
3. disabled my anti-virus software
4. Updated my burner drivers and intel chipset drivers to the latest version
5. turned off the DLA on the burner properties
6. disconnected from the internet
7. selected the slowest burn speed in itunes
8. tried 2 different CD brands (memorex and maxell)
9. uninstalled some misc junk software that was on my pc, just in case it was causing the problem.
It will setup the cd by burning all the track labels, but stops usually partway through the first song, sometimes it does make it to the second song.
Any help would be appreciated quite a bit. Seems like a common error, but with few solutions.

HT201210 Please help - error message saying 'filmware file is not compatable', and videos will not transfer from phone to computor. what can i do?

As title says, I keep having this error message 'filmware not compatable' and my videos will not load.
Can someone please help this very non-tech-savy lady???!!
Cheers in advance

Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

Please help--Error message in PSE 7

When I open PSE 7 I'm getting an error message that says:
Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error Program....Adobe Photoshop, etc
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for information.
and a couple times the message just says Adobe Photoshop has stopped working and must close.
When I click "okay" the entire program shuts down.
This started about 10 days ago. I uninstalled the program and re-installed and it worked okay. Now today the message is back again. I've tried unplugging everything, restarting the computer and nothing is working. I am using Windows Vista.
Please help.
Thanks, Doris

I do not know enough about my computer etc. to
follow the troubleshooting
information that you referenced. But I was able to check my system
information and everything was okay in that area. I've been using
the PSE 7 program for almost a year with no problem until now. Is there some way that I can talk to
a "real live" person to get help. Thank you for taking time to try and help me. I'm just not computer savvy enough to follow the instructions as given.
Thanks,Doris

Please Help - Error message when trying to open itunes

Hi
Can someone help pls? I was in the middle of upgrading my version of itunes and my computer crashed. Now when I try to open itunes I get an error message as follows: 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'.
I don't know what to do! I am worried I have lost all of my music!?

hiya!
'Quick time failed to initialize. Error # - 2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer'.
okay, let's try a careful standalone QT reinstall:
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

Please help: error message says ipod cannot be read from or written to

Hi
I have been using my iPod Video for a couple of months now without any problems, until yesterday. I tried to sync it after I downloaded a couple of new songs when I got this error message: "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Jason's Ipo' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
The 'Jason' in 'Jason's Ipo' is me.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
2002 PC Windows XP

Thanks, that was helpful.
While I was waiting for your answer I restored my iPod to its original settings. The screen is now black and white and the font changed to something smaller. Is this normal? How do I put the playlists and songs back in? Please post a link if there is a page on this subject.
Thanks again.

Please help - error message when installing iTunes 10

I have tried several times to install iTunes to my laptop. Every time, I get an error message that reads: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
I tried deleting the temp file and uninstalled all Apple components and still get the same error message.

Perhaps let's check to see if at least some of the iTunes components install.
Try installing QuickTime "on it's own". (Actually, this'll install a fair few of the other related itunes programs too, but not all of them.) Get the installer that doesn't mention itunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Does that install for you? If not, what error message do you get on the QuickTime install?

Please Help. I can't uninstall Creative Suite 1.1

Hi,
I'm trying to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite through Programs and Features in Windows Vista, but everytime I try to uninstall it, I get an error right after I double click on the Adobe Creative Suite to unistall it. This is the error that comes up immediately.
"Adobe Creative Suite Installer 1.1 has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
The Creative suite was bought years ago throug Adobe. I've removed everything else adobe in the uninstall program, but can't uninstall this Creative Suite. Is there another option for removing it? Do I need to manually remove the folders and registry entries? If so, does anyone have any info they could give me to help?
Thanks! And again, any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Chris

Hi Michael,
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did try using the Microsoft Installer Clean Up tool but once it was installed, I did not see anything with Adobe in there. The Adobe Creative Suite file does still show up in the uninstall programs screen. Also, I did check the adobe file folder and the program files are there and have not been deleted or uninstalled.
Anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Quicktime Error Message/Can`t uninstall Quicktime

After the last update all **** has broken loose nothing is working have looked all over at the forms for soultions have seen were i should uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime I`ve uninstalled my iTunes and now trying to uninstall the Quicktime so I can start all over and keep getting this error message when ask if I want to repair some files
Error writing to file:C\Program Files\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts. Verify that you have access to that directory
How do I verify that I have access...??? So I can finish uninstalling this mess and get thing running again...

Did you mistype the the path? It should be c:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTsytem\Quicktime.qts.
If you typed it correctly, that's odd.
Assuming you mistyped it, try running a disk check to make sure there isn't a filing system error.
Open My computer and right click on your c: drive, select Properties>>tools>>error checking. Check both the boxes.
The check starts on the next reboot and can take a while.
Download the version of QUicktime that does NOT include iTunes from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Close all other programs.
Then try manually uninstalling Quicktime using the method here:
XP

Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If that goes though OK, Restart your PC and install the stand alone Quicktime.

Please Help: Error message with files.

I'd REALLY appreciate some assistance with this, something has gone wrong with a large project and I'm prepared to beg!!
The root of my problem is trying to open the media files in an iMovie project (well about half of them anyway, for some reason the other half are fine).
When I try to open the .mov file from the project in Quicktime I get the following message (which sounds pretty drastic but I have no idea what it means):
"QuickTime cannot open the file: "movie.mov"
a bad public movie atom was found in the movie (-2002)"
I've posted the following in the iMovie thread, but am not sure whether it is an iMovie issue or a Quicktime issue:
I've been using iMovie for years and have never seen this before.
I created a large project some time ago, and only about 50% of the files from the projects media folder will open. They show up in he media folder as the little black Unix executable file icons rather that the regular white clip icon.
I've tried importing from within iMovie and get error message -2048, and the message that Quicktime can not parse the file. I've also tried opening the .mov file from the original project folder but no good.
I REALLY need to salvage these files, any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm using iMovie HD in 10.3.9.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Sorted the problem myself by going to:

Downloading the iMovie file fixer and using it on my media files!
Woohooo!

PLEASE HELP - Error message, re "unsupported" ringtone format

Although I was able to open, download and use ringtones recently, now when I attempt to open any ringtones I receive this error message in the Media folder: "The media being played is of an unsupported format." and will not play. I haven't received any calls to test whether my phone will ring or not, but I'm assuming since it won't play back in Media, I'm unable to pull up the ringtone..period.
I'm a newbie to Blackberrys...any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I honestly don't know - the problem seemed to have fixed itself when I plugged it into the Desktop Manager and I sync'd everything. Very strange, but I couldn't tell you exactly how the problem was solved.

Please Help: Error Message:"IP Configuration: IP Address Already In Use..."

I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm going to start here... I have been having this issue and its really beginning to scare me.
*_The Problem:_* I keep getting a message with a RED Exclamation Sign and its titled "IP Configuration" and says this: *123.456.0.1 already using DHCP 123.456.0.100*
I have been clicking okay, but finally one day got annoyed and called the mac people to get help and... they didnt help a bit.
So now I am trying to find help from others.... please help. give as many suggestion as possible and i'll continue to google for help. Thanks.
*So is someone else using my address?*
*Is someone able to see my screen and information and stuff?*
*Why is this happening?*
Please answer these questions if possible.

To really help, a description of how the network you use to get online is configured is needed. Are you using wireless? Are there other computers that use this network and if so, what operating system are they running? What sort of router and modem are you using? etc.
So is someone else using my address?
Either another machine is using your IP address, or something is wrong with the DHCP server.
Is someone able to see my screen and information and stuff?
Probably not.
Why is this happening?
My guess is that the firmware on your router needs to be updated.

Please help. I can't email or open an ai file

Hello,
I have an online design class deadline for illustrator cs3. i created a jpg file and saved it as save for web. this was semi successful.
I then took the same high resolution jpg document and saved it as the apparent original, ".ai" file. ***For some reason, I am unable to open this CS3 ai file when I send it via email. I can open the file no problem on my mac desktop, but it just does not post on a discussion board or open in gmail. It says that the script is not readable or something, and something about a pdf file. For my class, i am definitely supposed to post an original adobe illustrator file to a discussion board.
I have read that gmail does not accept large files. perhaps this is the problem. anyways, any advice would be great. i dont know how to create a zip, compressed file etc if I need to do this.
my assignment for a design class asked for an illustrator document of 12 inches by 12 inches. I created this new document for the web. is there anything else that i should have checked when saving it as an illustrator (ai) document?
I will be happy to check on the file size, if necessary.
thanks,
clueless

Files sent via email should be compressed first. Right-click on the file and choose
Compress "[filename]" (Leopard) or
Create Archive of '[filename]" (Tiger). Email that file.
If you export a JPEG, then open that, you will only be able to see the rasterized art. You will not have access to the original Adobe Illustrator file that created that image. There is almost certainly no reason for you do do this if the recipient (i.e. you) has Illustrator, too.

Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
