Serious itunes problem

I came home the other day and tried to run itunes but it said a file was missing and to please reinstall.. i thought that was weird because i didn't touch my computer for the whole day before, and the last time i did itunes worked fine. anyway i deleted and tried to reinstall and now everytime i open the itunessetup.exe it says "Itunes Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience"
so then i followed all the support discussions about clearing my temp files and trying again.. then clearing out all itunes/quicktime/any other ipod software from my computer and trying to reinstall but i still get the error. what can i do to fix this??

i found a way around the setup problem.. i created a new account on windows and tried to download and when it wouldnt work i looked at the tech part of the error report.. anyway there were 2 files with TEMP in it so i went to the temp folder and there was a weird folder with all random letters and numbers so after i deleted that the setup would work on the next account.. however on my old account it still wont download =/ but this is a good fix for now

  • Never seen this serious iTunes problem

    Most of the time when i plug in my iPod, iTunes freezes. The one in ten times it reads this error pops up...
    "The file or directory \Pod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPrefs is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the ChkDsk Utility."
    So, I updated my iPod and it went through all the motions including alerting me when the update was finished. But, when I disconnected my iPod, it was completely blank. I went to an Apple store and was told to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
    Here's where the most apalling error occurs. iTunes is NOWHERE in ADD/REMOVE Programs. I have restarded my computer several times but iTunes never shows up in the Control Panel. It is everywhere else and I can even open it and play songs. I am very frustrated and I do not know what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

    well, i couldn't follow the first part of those instructions because iTunes does not appear in ADD/REMOVE Programs. I did however ger rid of Quicktime and did the Windows installer cleanup utility to get rid of iTunes....now I can't delete iTunes or iPod from My Computer. iTunes says "Cannot delete iTunesHelper.exe: Access Denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in se." And iPod says, "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again."

  • Itunes problem with windows Vista

    ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
    However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
    Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
    Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
    So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
    This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

  • Serious performance problems on iWeb site

    Can anyone help me find the problem with peterlance.com? It looks like author Peter Lance uses iWeb to update his web site. He redesigned it recently (and did not use iWeb for the old design). Anyway, it has serious performance problems on Internet Explorer, which I was hoping you guys could help pinpoint? Is there something simple I can tell him to try to fix the problem? He is launching a new book on Tuesday so he will be getting a lot of traffic, but for now the response time is not very good. Any suggestions?
    In particular, each new page seems to hang for about ten seconds and freeze using Internet Explorer 6. Any fixes?
    I mean, fixes other than: "Don't use Internet Explorer!"

    name="Generator" content="iWeb 1.1.2"

    Welcome to the discussions, TopDog08.
    There are several plain .jpg's and that's good, but you need to convert every .png on the page (or as many .png's as you can) to a .jpg. For example,
    http://www.peterlance.com/Peter%20Lance/Home/Homefiles/shapeimage46.png
    Convert that to a jpg, then replace the graphic and text on the iWeb page with this converted jpg (some have has success using Downsize http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/)
    The ones you won't be able to do anything about are the ones that are a part of the blog, but that will be only 5 images instead of the many you have now.
    This image
    http://www.peterlance.com/Peter%20Lance/Home/Homefiles/shapeimage50.png
    Is covering part of your menu which is why it appears that only the top half is sensitive to rolling over. You'll have to adjust your layout to account for this.
    Another area to look at, there are white boxed png's surrounding the amazon book covers at the top.
    http://www.peterlance.com/Peter%20Lance/Home/Homefiles/imageEffectsAboveAli%20Mug%20TPI%20jpg.png
    Another set of .png's you'll have to get rid of. How did those get put on the page?
    What you see happening with IE is a java script running to fix IE's problem with png's. The fewer .png's you have, the less of a problem with IE you have.

  • Serious performance problems after updating from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7

    I've got a Macbook Pro C2D 15" (late 2006). After updating the system from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 and quicktime to 7.6.2, I experience serious performance problems which I have never seen before:
    -From time to time, kernel_task has peaks in activity monitor (consumes a lot of CPU). In that moment, the mouse hangs for a short moment and audio playback is distorted/has drop outs.
    -Recording audio consumes a lot of CPU (independent of the audio application).
    -Video playback consumes a lot of CPU, regardless if I use VLC or the quicktime player.
    Any idea what could be done? Thanks in advance.

    After a few days of using CoolBook I report that my 1st generation MacBook Air is now reliable and never overheating, regardless of environment conditions.
    I must point out that I do believe that it really is something new in 10.5.7 that is causing this problem as my environmental conditions have not changed and even Summer in Dublin still sees temperatures no more than 72F/22C. I am now in Madrid, where the environment is quite different, and I am still having no problem with kernel_task spinning.
    I plan on reporting my problem to Apple anyway and being aggressive about the issue as MacLovinRanga did in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9647353#9647353). Perhaps many/all of those of us having this problem will obtain new MacBook Airs.

    My computer failed and the main drive had to be formatted but all my music was on a separate internal hard drive. So I downloaded the latest iTunes , problem is it has found all my songs but seems to not recognize half of the album data, half of the artists, all of the dates and all ratings data.
    I had a large part of it backed up on DVD's but it does not want to recognise them either?

    You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link.  Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

  • Serious performance problems

    Hi
    I am having some very serious performance problems witgh java web start. I have a swing client that transmits XML/HTTP to and from a server, parses it, etc... I am finding that the XML/HTTP data request
    is a factor of 10 to 100X slower, at least, using Java Web Start than without.
    Any suggestions would be helpful
    Thanks
    Charles

    Charles,
    I've also observed some overhead when running an application deployed with JAWS compared to running the application from the jar, or in my dev environment.
    After searching these forums a bit, I found this buried nugget of info: Try System.setSecurityManager(null) if you are requesting <all-permissions/> already.
    Before the workaround, my application was taking 194 seconds for a single analysis run. After this workaround was applied, the same analysis run took only 82 seconds.
    So as you can see, there is considerable overhead associated with performing operations through the layers of security (my guess). My particular application does a lot of disk I/O (which is probably something the security manager watches closely).
    I stress the 'workaround' aspect of this because I haven't fully investigated the ramifications of using it, but eventually this might turn into a bug submission (because if I'm already requesting all-permissions, why do I still need to do setSecurityManager(null)?).
    At any rate, hope this helps!

  • ***Serious iPod Problems***

    My brother is havign some serious iPod problems. A while ago the battery died after having it for about 2 years. He just had the battery replaced, it will atleast bootup now, but it wont get passed the Apple logo. I can get it to boot into Disk Mode, then reset it, but it still wont get passed the Apple logo. Does anyone have any idea what's happened to it?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Serious System Problems. Pictures and Documents folders are opening iPhoto when clicked. iPhoto Library gone.

    I have been speaking to Old Toad for the majority of today trying to fix my iPhoto Library as its become corrupt and I cannot get my photos/videos back into iPhoto. After many many suggestions I seem to have created some serious system problems.
    PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS THREAD...

    If anybody can be of assisatance that would be a great help.
    I am a mac dummie, recently transfered so foolproof guidance will be helpfull!
    (Unfortunatly.. and now I know the importance, I haven't used time-machine and my mac isn't backed up. If i restore to factory settings I will loose the 600+ photos and videos I had in my iPhoto Library.... which dissapeared, which is the whole reason why I created the first thread)
    Thank you!!

    Linc:
    It appeared to me that somehow the OP's Picture folder was converted into an iPhoto Library as his screenshot of the PIctures folder looked like the inside of a library.
    This statement by the OP make me think it might be more than just an iPhoto issue (the bold text):
    I am unable to drag the Picture folder to the desktop, It wont move, and iPhoto (which is still empty) just opens.
    Some how the same is happening with Documents,

  • Serious display problem. Please help!

    I'm having a serious display problem all of a sudden. It is not application specific. Various different applications are pixelating, especially wherever I move my cursor and click the mouse. When I grab the entire application with the cursor and move it, the image duplicates into hundreds of images all over my screen. If I shake it around awhile, eventually it goes back to normal. What is going on??!!
    Here's some background info: I'm on a 2009 Mac Pro. I still use the old fashioned tube monitors with mini display port to VGA converters, but I've never had a problem up until now. Just before the problem started happening, I tried to open up some .jpg files in Quicktime Pro 7. 
    I would greatly appreciate any ideas of what the problem could be and how to fix it.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Might you have moved the Home folder or its contents, or renamed it? If you think that's what happened, this article may help:

    Hi..
    Delete the app then reinstall.
    Hold the app icon down until all the apps jiggle then tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop the jiggling.
    Then go to the iTunes store and re download the app.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    That should download the most recent version including whatever update was available.
