Removal of the FireFox plugin for iTunes Application Detector
Hi,
My daughter bought an ipod and installed itunes on the family pc. Being a firm believer (and I'm sure this will turn away answers to my question) in not mixing Windows components and Apple components as you will undoubtedly ask for death (I currently have a possible display driver problem now that itunes has been added and my wife and I each personally own a Zune), how do I set the Apple/"i" services to ONLY run when her account is running and how do I remove the FireFox Addon in the plugins bin since Internet Explorer is still on the PC and I don't care if itunes uses it to its hearts content, but I do care that it is added to FireFox. Using XP MCE 2005 SP3 and itunes 10 is on the PC. If none of you know the answer, is there an easier way of contacting technical support? The support page certainly leave something to be desired.
Firefox uses the npitunes.dll file for the itunes application detector. On an XP system (assuming you've got your program files installed on your C), you'll find that at:
C:\Program files\iTunes\Mozilla Plugins\npitunes.dll
I can't remember if removing that file will trigger a repair install of iTunes the next time you launch iTunes using one of the advertised shortcuts automatically installed by iTunes. If it does, and replaces the file, create a new (non-advertised) desktop shortcut for iTunes and always launch the application from that shortcut you created yourself in order to stop the repair install from putting the npitunes.dll back.

PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Firefox 33.1
Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
Thanks
BillVLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

Do you know any plugin for iTunes that permits to read the epub books of the library?
Hello to everybody!
Do you know any plugin for iTunes that permits to read the epub books of the library? Or do you know if this function is gonn be implemented in iTunes?
It's not so extrange, because iTunes is able to play the music, videos and films that we have in the library, why not reading them with iTunes?
Of course it wouldn't be so comfortable as to read them in my iPad, but it's not its purpose: it's only so you can take a sneak peek into several books in order to choose which one to send to the iPad to read next Weekend.
Is this posible?
Best regards,
Jorge MolinaI don't know of any plug in that enables you to use itunes as a reader but you can use calibre which is shareware and that has a reader that would enable you to read on your computer by opening an ebook with the application.
Alternatively, and perhaps simpler, is to go to amazon and read reviews and synopses of books you are interested in. -
I just got an iPod shuffle yesterday and I have downloaded the latest update for iTunes (10.7) and when I plugin it in it says that I have not got the correct software for the iPod
What is the exact error message you are receiving? Have you checked to make sure the connections on each end of the USB cable are nice and snug?

After downloading the new version of Shockwave

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox
I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT. -
Removal of the old European for
Hi everyone,
For everyone that migrated over from our old Europeans forums, you may still remember the old system. This is currently still linked in on the Support page, so you can read the archi'ved content.
This page will be changed to link directly into this (new) forum in a week, so the link to the old forums will be removed. If there are any threads you have linked that you would like to keep, I'd recommend saving the pages now. We may still be able to access them on request, but it is best to keep a copy of anything you used as reference.
Thanks,

I am trying to open my iTunes on a Windows XP laptop and get the error message 42404 "iTunes application could not be opened. Please repair or reinstall QuickTime". I did that and it did not help. Any ideas?
Let's see if a more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure gets us past that, nancy. See the following troubleshooting document:

I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll. error 7 (windows error 126). Anyone else having this issue? How do I get iTunes back in working order?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
Help!!!!!The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps. -
I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?
The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
I hope that makes sense. -
I am noticing Itunes application detector in Mozilla? Can anyone tell me what it is for?
Lately I have experienced problems with re-directing and other issues with Mozilla. I looked in my add-ons list and there are several things there that i did not add manually.
(I have been having much trouble with ITunes and noticed a plug in in mozilla and want to know if it is necessary.)
Is there a way to keep this from happening? I have been using mozilla for years and liked it when I could do a basic install without any add-ons that I did not request.
Here is a list of the things that are troubling me - I am sure a few may be necessary.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with this?

(Just curious with these two Java consoles - which by the way I am unable to uninstall - the uninstall button is grayed out. and I can only disable.)Shutting down only returns a Mac to a certain default running state.
If the beach balling problem is there, it can and, most probably, will return.
Sometimes a shut down or restart can reset things, but if this was something that was nagging issue, it may return.
It's better for a Mac to sleep or hibernate than to constantly shut it down.
Shutting down and starting up a computer all the time puts more strain on electronic components than just letting the computer sleep and go into a reduced power mode.
Sometimes Safari ( or any web browser) can be the culprit as Adobe Flash Player, running inside Safari, can eat up a lot of CPU and RAM resources when on a website that needs extensive use of Adobe Flash Player. Also, animations and pop- up ads in a web browser can have the web browser using up more CPU and RAM cycles, too! Other web browser factors like having a lot of windows or tabs active can increase the amount of RAM that the web browser is using.
Also, it a good idea not to have too many CPU and RAM intensive apps running concurrently in the background.
Also, some unknown process can eat up system resources.
From time to time if the beach balling returns, launch Activity Monitor app inside your Applications>Utilities folder a see if there are any processes that are eating up an excessive amount of RAM or CPU cycles.
Any antivirus apps are known causes of OS X slowdowns and beach balling as well as a lot of " crapware" like MacKeeper. Keep software like that off of your system. -
I have windows 7 and I have been trying to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime but I keep receiving the same Bonjour error. I even tried to do it manually and no luck. I also tried to unistall bonjour but it would not even allow me to unistall it either. No matter what I do I get the same error listed below:
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
I would greatly appreciate any help because this appears whether i am trying to install the updates or remove bonjour to reinstall. I am stuck.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes. I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!! GRRRR!!!
Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
