  • Please help - AppleWorks won't open. The icon just bounces in the Dock.

    I have been writing and saving all day on Appleworks. Now when I want to open up an Appleworks file, it won't open up. I tried clicking it from an icon on my desktop, clicking a file from my Recent Items list, and getting one from my hard drive. Nothing opens up. I tried turning off my computer and restarting it and it still will not open any Appleworks file. The Appleworks icon at the bottom bar of my computer just bounces up and down, but nothing opens up. I am able to open my iWorks Pages files without any problem. The bad thing is that I need to get my saved Appleworks files and edit them. Please help... Thanks in advance, Teachermom99

  • Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

    Hello out there,
    please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
    I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
    I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
    Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
    1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
    2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
    3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
    4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
    5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
    6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
    It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
    Please, does anybody know what to do?
    Any hints and help are much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    and best regards

  • Please help:  iTunes won't import whole songs!

    I have put my old hard drive (which contained all of my music) into my new computer, and added all the tracks into iTunes on the new computer. Unfortunately, some of the tracks cut off prematurely, even though the track shows the correct time (it just goes right to the next track instead of running completely through). Short of manually importing each CD back into iTunes, I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

  • Rachyl Help Please!  iTunes won't open!

    Whenever I click on the iTunes icon the user agreement pops up for a split second then disappears. Whenever I attempt to open Quicktime alone the program pops open then closes quickly as well. I have removed all firewalls and antivirus software from my computer. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. I have run the adware removal program from lavasoft.com and still I have problems. I'm running Windows XP Home with SP2. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Buy Snow Leopard from the Apple store. It's your only choice.
    Or you can install Windows and download iTunes…

  • Please Help - Itunes no longer opens or works

    Hi there.
    Hoping someone out there can help solve my problem.
    Problem occured after I first started dragging mp4 movies into the " Automatically add to Itunes" folder and was working for the first few but now the loading circle thing comes up as my mouse whenever I try to open itunes.
    Have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting etc with no avail.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I googled on "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" and the one I posted was the top hit. There were others from the Microsoft website - it sure seems like a WIndows problem, and not necessarily an iTunes problem.
    This second hit talks about re-registering the Windows Installer service.

  • Pls Help - iTunes won't open

    I am pretty adept at troubleshooting.  I have been using iTunes daily, but now it will not open (even though it shows as a background process).
    I have uninstalled and re-installed two times.
    I have restarted my computer several times.
    I have tried holding down CTRL + SHIFT when opening iTunes (nothing happens)
    When I click the icon to start iTunes, it doesn't appear as an open application in the Taskbar, although it shows it is running (image below).
    I have two iPhones (work and personal) and an iPod shuffle....   really need iTunes!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks!

  • Please help - Photoshop won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "edit photos" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.
    Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    No problem, It's just that you probably have more luck to get an answer than you have  here.

  • Please help. iTunes Won't Save My Album Artwork

    OK, here’s a basic question that will probable be easy to answer. I have iTunes 8 on a MAC 10.4.11 and it won’t save my album artwork. I have a play list of 23 songs and for some reason track 21 and 22 keep rejecting the artwork I drag and drop. I have tried adding the image as both a JPG and PNG in various sizes and resolutions.

    Patience! You just posted the original 30 minutes before your follow up. Give people time to find your post. Anyway...
    All you did is changed the preference so that any NEW stuff you import will look up artwork. For any albums already in your library, select all the songs from the album, right click, and pick Get Album Artwork.

  • Please help - iTunes won't backup!!!!!!!

    Hello, all...can you help me?
    I have iTunes 7.3.1 (I'm pretty sure) and when I tried to backup my library, it tells me to insert a blank disk...so I do. Then, it says "burn initializing" for a couple of seconds up at the top of iTunes (where the "Now Playing" displays) and then tells me to insert a blank disk. It's a continuous cycle.
    Can anyone help me, or at least let me know where I can get iTunes 7.1? That was the only version that worked on my computer.

    Do you have any older backups, or was that the only one. While iTunes will overwrite regular backups that are done, if you have done a restore in the past, those are kept with a date/time stamp. If one isn't too old, you can try that, but remember that anything done since that date/time would be lost.
    The only other alternative is to restore the device as new and sync whatever data you can back from the computer.

    this may happen on external drives if:
    The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for external drive
    Close iTunes
    Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
    Mount drive again
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
    If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
    The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for internal hard drive
    Close iTunes
    Reboot system
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
    Reboot system, restart iTunes
    If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

    I have Windows 8 and Itunes 11.1.2. When I click on the Itunes desktop shortcut, Itunes won't open. I just the icon go to the taskbar and nothing more. Please help.

    Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

  • My iTunes won't open help please! what should I do?

    My iTunes won't open, when I try to open it, it says:
    "The file 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
    What can I do about this? please help me.

    Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
    thank you kindly.
    another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?
