Ripping my hair out

i had itunes on this pc, then my stepdad did some system recovery hoo-hah which deleted close to everything. now i am trying to install itunes again with no avail. i got really close to finishing but it ended (with no successful installation) with this message:
internal failure: error number 0x80040707
description:
ok
when i click ok, it says:
ipod for windows 2005-10-12

i have tried uninstalling quicktime and repairing itunes. then i uninstalled quicktime and itunes. nothing is helping and clearly technology has grown to be smarter than me. i need any help you can offer because im really growing to resent my lil soundtrack to life.

Well that is bizarre, iTunes installer complaining about iPod updater! New one for me, at least.
Try a QuickTime standalone install.
Download the file with security software turned off,
save to your hard drive and run the install from there (no installations over the internet is a good policy with any software)

  • Ripping my hair out...my music has completely disappeared, except for my most recent purchase. Help!

    From about a year ago up until I attempted to access it today, my Itunes music has been stored in the cloud and all of it was accessible in my Itunes on my W7 PC.
    Today, my music has ALL disappeared except for my most recent purchase of about a month ago.
    I've tried everything I can find, and NOTHING will make it reappear.
    Help??

    maybe it does have to do with other apps. i wish i would have paid attention to when this started occuring so i could narrow down which application might be the culprit.
    the only thing that seems to be working right now is if i take my loop folders out of library/audio. i dragged some to my desktop (don't ask me why i did this) and imported them from there. for some reason they are staying in my loop browser. also when asked where i wanted to put the files, i selected them to go where the rest of the loops are at....in the proper directory. i'm thinking of trying this with all the loops and see what happens. something is corrupted and i'd like to know what and why. i admit, which i am embarrassed about, my computer is a mess. i really need to organise it and all that. actually, i am hoping hoping hoping to get a macbook just for my music. it would make life easier for me seeing i am quickly running out of room on all my hard drives.
    the only loops i am having trouble locating are all the ones i made recently. which i am upset about. but i am sure they are here somewhere. i just need ot wade through the mess to find them.
    thank you for your help.

  • I'm gonna rip the hair out of my head...Win XP related...

    Ok, after fighting with Boot Camp and hours of work on trying to just have the system install the **** OS, I'm finally in it and everything's been working great. Now I'm in Windows XP and I just tried to install the Mac drivers. The bluetooth keyboard and mouse worked just great up until I installed the drivers. NOW IT'S ASKING ME TO CLICK ON SOMETHING TO CONTINUE AND I CAN'T!
    None of the USB ports work so I can't put in a wired mouse and my bluetooth stuff doesn't wrok either. Now I stare at windows with a Continue Anyways box in front of me. Can someone give me a solution before I send this Mac Pro back to Apple with a bomb inside it?

    I would love to ditch Windows for good, but until Autodesk writes AutoCAD and 3D Studio for OSX then I am unfortunately tied to both platforms. Whilst there are other packages available, I will not change to using them purely for OS reasons. The introduction of the MacPro is the most perfect solution that I could have asked for, as it means that I can be rid of the nasty PC box I have "hidden" under my desk.
    I am also a pretty heavy gamer... whilst an Xbox will play a driving game or FPS shooter pretty well, it does not compete with a PC with MMORPG such as Lineage 2 and WoW and the like. I am not a joystick/keypad player - more keyboard and mouse.
    I have no answer to the points raised in the thread (My MacPro is still due to be delivered on the 15th September as I spec'd the X1900) but as I would expect the small niggles with XP and a MP to be solved with the next version of Bootcamp.

  • Finder, Mail, Safari gone haywire - ripping my last hairs out!

    Ever since I installed Leopard on my dual 2.0 G5 (early 2005 model), the Dock, Mail, and to some extent Safari have gone nuts. With no discernible pattern, every once in a while, when I click on Mail in the Dock, all I get is a Finder window showing my Applications folder with Mail. If I launch it from that Finder window (which it sometimes will do, other times not) Mail then acts very strange, automatically opening a new email message (that I can't get rid of without force quitting), and not allowing me to get into my mailboxes. It doesn't "freeze", but it might as well. All I can do is restart the machine.
    When the above happens in Dock, Safari then sometimes goes nuts as well. When I click on a menu bar bookmark, a new tab opens, but Safari doesn't function properly. It just keeps opening new tabs.
    Additionally sometimes, again with no discernible pattern, no matter what (anywhere on my desktop) I try to click, I get a little window with "options" that won't let me do anything (I have to restart).
    I've had to restart my machine more times since I installed Leopard two weeks ago than I have for the entire time I've owned it. So far I'm way less than impressed with Leopard's functionality, and I'm having flashbacks to the six weeks (or more) I spent trying to get my trusty old Apple II functional when I "upgraded" from System 6 to System 7 all those years ago. I still have grey hairs and wrinkles from that fiasco.
    Please, please, please tell me I'm not the only one that this is happening to, and that there's an easy fix.
    I really don't want to call Apple, since the people in Bangalore don't have a clue (all they can do is read from their scripted flow chart).
    I'm pulling what's left of my hair out here...
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Noel, you are welcome;~[)
    I went to Activity Monitor and quit this in my user directory, but there is another process called "Norton Privary Con" in root which won't close, even if I enter the administrator password.
    Will this disappear if I uninstall this app?
    PS Don't mean to sound dim, but how exactly do I uninstall it?!?
    You do not sound dense; ) it is not a fun group of products to unistall
    did the software come with an unistaller ? They generally do not work,
    generous of them, eh?
    The process should halt, it just goes to show just how top dog it is running
    in Root, is this a process you saw in the Activity monitor ?
    Perhaps you should post a question in the Unix forumrequesting if there is a command to halt it's process with sudo, using Terminal.
    In the meanwhile It maybe best to continue searching for an uinstaller for your product expressly Symantec Norton Privacy Control 2.0.4
    Go to their site and see if you can find an unistaller, I will continue to look as well.
    Here is a link to Uninstall NOrton.
    However it may leave behind some files.* depending on which Norton you have installed.
    Download and run Cocktail in "Interface" > "Finder" choose
    to see "invisibles". Or use OnyX
    After the unistall.
    Look for files like these on the top level of your hard drive:
    /Norton FS Volume 2
    /NAV Mac 800QS File
    /Norton FS Data 808K
    /Norton FS Volume
    /Norton FS Index
    Find those files drag them (not command-delete) to
    the trash and empty it.
    Know that uninstalling NOrton can cause Kernel panics it was true for
    my machine others, including a user here in Safari very recently.
    At least you will know what the origin is.
    Regards,
    Eme

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ

  • This new version of FireFox is making me nutz! It is SUCKING 100% CPU time almost constantly. I could just pull my hair out. I wpdated once a month or so ag

    I tried to add this in the topic already open but it kept sending me through the unending rabbit holes!
    My question is: How do I figure out what release I was on, get rid of this one and got back to a functional firefox that moves in realtime. I already did all the reset and etc.... I just want to go back to the speed I had. This halting , hanging up misery of a browzer is Sad. I have had firefox for years and always recommended it ..... BUT NOT ANY MORE. I agree with the other poster ... there should be a rollback feature. Peoples time has value and right now FireFox is sucking the value down a rabbit hole.
    See Below Comment Feedback submitted before I finally got here:
    This new version of FireFox is making me nutz! It is SUCKING 100% CPU time almost constantly. I could just pull my hair out. I wpdated once a month or so ago and it slowed down..... but the latest update before I did the reset really slowed me down. I came here to fix it a couple of dayz ago and did the reset firefox and now it IS RUNNING SO POORLY AND SLOW I AM ABOUT TO KILL IT OFF MY MACHINE!!! Yes that is me yelling - and it happened in SSSSSSSSSSSSS LLLLLLLLL OOOOOOOO WWWWWWWWWW Motion. I have run all the security scans and cleanups ---this needs a fix ASAP!!! PS: The hang ups and slowness is EVERYWHERE I go. I only get speed doing programs not connected to ON LINE.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Infinity activation date passed. Tearing hair out.

    My BT Infinity 1 activation date was supposed to be the 9th October. The hub arrived 2 days before the activation date which was a comfort at the time.
    I contacted BT by phone on Friday 10th, Saturday 11th, Monday 13th and again today.
    EVERY time I get transfered to the right person they say they'll have to call me back in 5 minutes which doesn't happen. This has happened 8 times. The last time I contacted someone I stressed that nobody had ever call back, to which he said he would definately call me back before 5pm (which was in 4 hours time) - this never happened.
    I'm tearing my hair out.

    Hi EVenvell,
    I'm sorry your BT Infinity broadband is not working, please use the 'contact the mods' link in my forum profile to send in your details and we'll be happy to help you get this sorted. You can find the link by clicking on my username.

  • Error message - pulling hair out

    Hi forum
    I am pulling my hair out.
    Every time I start Prem Pro I get the following message
    “Prem pro could not find any capable video play modules – Please update your video display drivers”
    Now this started suddenly yesterday and I have been using the programme all last week for a job I am half way through with no issues. It was very sudden
    I am running vista 64 bit and an ATI radeon X1050 graphics card. 4GB ram
    I have tried following
    1/ disable anti virus and firewall - no
    2/ system restore - no (twice)
    3/ update video driver - no
    4/ uninstall and reinstall cs4 suite
    5/ msconfig - startup with no other applications or services - no
    6/ kick the machine - no !!!
    I am really at a loss. I have seen a couple of forums on the web covering this subject but so far nothing has helped me.
    Any ideas please
    Andy

    Andy,
    3/ update video driver - no
    As per the error message's text, this would have been my guess. Now, did you update with the latest driver directly from the ATI site? Can you roll-back to an earlier driver and try that? Can you check to see that your vid-card is, in fact, using the newly installed driver? Sometimes, installing an updated driver is not the most simple of tasks. With Matrox, one must first remove the old driver, reboot, then install the new one - don't know if that is still true. However, each site should have specific instructions on the exact steps required.
    When things like this change, it's often some hot-fix from MS. Some can be rolled-back with System Restore, though a few cannot. Often, these will fritz both Audio and Video drivers quickly.
    Though less often a fix in PrPro, than in PS, you might want to Move your Prefs files, and let PrPro rebuild them. You'll obviously have to change them, should you have any custom settings from default. Again, this is seldom necessary in PrPro, but happens to fix many PS problems.
    Nothing else that I can think of right now.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Pulling Hair Out! Need Help: Adobe Prem 6.0 Distorted Audio playback in Timeline

    O/S = Windows 2000 Pro
    Adobe Premier 6.0
    I am in the process of compiling a project in Adobe Premier 6.0, where, up until yesterday, it was playing back perfectly in the Timeline window. Unfortunately now, when I  preview the project in the Timeline window, the audio has become distorted, out of sync, and is now 'slower' than the video footage (sounds a bit like a Darlek!), this also happens when I view a clip in the Monitor window. I closed this project down and started a new one, importing a seperate 'audio only' file, but had the same problem. I then opened a previous project that has always played back perfectly but that too had the same audio/video problem. I have checked the frame rate and the speed and both are correct and ok. Incidentely, the audio and video are in perfect sync when I play any clip in the Project Window!
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone help me. I am pulling my hair out on this one!
    Thank you.

    John

    If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out. 
    I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network.  So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
    I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple.  The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router?  However its not connecting??  I am doing something wrong?
    Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?

    and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
    Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
    Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
    The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

  • Pulling hair out!

    I recorded a basketball tournament championship games direct to disk using FCP6. Got the first half fine. did second half fine. Game was over and I was letting the announcer do his stats. A little kid came up and unplugged my external drive. I was left with a .av file. Can I recover this file? It is a 10gig file. PLEASE someone tell me I can. I know, yes I know I should have used tape as backup but I was doing a three camera shoot using a switcher. I came close to child abuse, but what the heck he was only a kid...

    Now you know to save more often instead of having all of your eggs in one basket.
    Your file was not properly "closed". If the Get Info window shows appropriate file size you may be able to add the needed info using a "hex" editor.
    Not for the faint of heart but fairly straight forward. You need to find any "good" QuickTime file and compare the header (sometimes at the end of the file) data to your non-working version.
    What you have now is the just the digital info but no way to open it. A can of tuna without a can opener and you want a tuna sandwich.
    A hex editor allows you to open the "raw" file as something that looks like text. When you compare a working file with yours you should quickly see the difference. Copying the missing data from a working file and pasting into the broken one can sometimes fix the file.
    You should have pulled the hair out of the little kid instead of your own. But you've also learned a very basic computer issue. Save. Save often. Save to other locations and media. You could have just as easily dropped your laptop and crashed the HD.
    Google around for a Mac hex editing app. Many are free.
