Several applications including Settings open and close immediately, unable to get iTunes to install an update

While traveling in China, I was unable to get latest iTunes download an update to 4.3.2 (after download is compoleted, is starts processing and says network timed out, without any clear reason) I can download the file separately for an older version without using iTunes fine.
I have a hunch that the multitude of emails flying in my account is causing trouble, since Mail is one of the apps closing immediately. But I cannot use settings to combat Mail problems.... Anyone any idea???
Henk

The "Network timed out " may be a firewall or antivirus on the computer.
For the apps closing, try the following:
stop all running apps:
Double-click the Home button. Hold an icon in the bottom row until the minus sign shows, then touch all minus signs to close all apps.
Then Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.

I have windows 8 and I am unable to get itunes to install

It keeps saying that it needs to run apple advisor before opening itunes and that i need to uninstall it and reinstall itunes again.

iTunes on an iOS device is the store front software for the iTunes Store. To play music on your iOS device open the Music app.

IE open and close immediately. Can't fix using many methods.

A user reports that can't use IE 8 suddenly.
His PC is Windows 7 Pro sp1 and using Internet Explorer 8.
Don't know what he did before and he ever tried restore to previous point but no help.
I've tried the following.
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967896
   Reset Internet Explorer to its default settings or
   Uninstall and then reinstall Internet Explorer through Turning on/ off windows features.
2. Use other user like Administrator to open IE. But result is same
3. Upgrade to IE 11. Still open and close immediately only.
   Repeat step 1 but still not solve.
4. Downloaded IE 11 and installed manually but it stated that IE 11 was installed. (Had turned off IE to uninstall it through Turning on/ off windows features)
Asked him to use Chrome but some websites need IE. So he must use IE too.
Please advise that how to fix it.
Hope not need to re-install OS.
Many thnaks.

1. Are there any traces in Event logs?
2. Try to delete history in IE
3. Try to disable add-ons.
4. If nothing helps, analyze your system with Process Monitor and Process Explorer. Check which programs starts with Autoruns (all programs are from Sysinternals)

Reader opens and closes immediately by itself when try to open PDF from windows live mail or browser

Hi,
I'm having problems with acrobat xi since installing it on my windows 7 computer.
Every time I try to open up a pdf file from windows live mail or a browser.. it opens and closes immediately. The only way I can view it is if I save the file onto the computer, open up acrobat reader first then open up the file in there.
How do I make it work properly again please?
I've tried several things so far like..
-Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
-Disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
Please help me. Thanks.

How can I tell which one it is exactly? I think it is Acrobat Reader.. 11.0.10...
I can only open up a PDF if I save it to my computer and then open up the Acrobat program then open up a file using file > open.
But if I try and view a pdf from an email attachment in Windows Live Mail.. or from a browser... it will open and close immediately.
How do I fix this please? thanks.

81. upgrade Windows Store opens and closes immediately

I am on Windows 8 and I am trying to upgrade to Windows 8.1. However, the windows store app opens and then immediately closes. I tried a manual download of the 8.1 upgrade. But when i try to run that it tells me the update does not apply to my computer.
I assume i need to do this through the windows store. Does anyone have any idea why the windows store keeps closing?
I have disabled anti-virus, checked my permissions to the registry settings and I have checked my permissions to the program files folder. All Application Packages are set to read and execute.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, seems that you are still in Windows 8 and trying to upgrade to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store, while you’re unable to launch Windows Store.
Solutions:
1.Firstly download an official Apps troubleshooter tool to troubleshoot
Windows Store (Run as Admin) ,here is the link:
Apps troubleshooter
2. Meanwhile, you can also run “wsreset.exe” to reset the cache of Windows Store.
(1)Run “WSRset.exe” from the run command then "Enter".
3. If all the steps above does not work ,try this way to re-register the
Windows Store to recover the entry of
Windows Store :
Right click on the “Start screen” , choose “Command prompt(Admin)”and in-put :
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
For more informations you can check this link:
Fix Store App in Windows 8.1
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/notime/archive/2013/10/18/fix-store-app-in-windows-8-1.aspx
If these steps don`t work, you may need to collect the event logs(AppModel-Runtime , Apps , AppXDeployment and AppXDeployment-Server) to get more information to help deal with the problem.
Best regards

ALL of my 3rd party apps open and close immediately

after connecting to itunes after a few months now ALL of my 3rd party apps open and close immidiately when i try to open them

First try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. If that doesn't help, try downloading a new App free app from the app store to see if that helps.

Windows 8.1 Apps open and close immediately

We have joined a laptop running Windows 8 to the domain however none of the apps work. They open and then close immediately.
The error in the event log is:The app microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.WindowsLive.Calendar's package family (microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe) has more than one package installed. This is not supported, so the app
was not activated for the Windows.Launch contract.
The problem doesn't happen with a local user or before the laptop was on the domain.
We have tried following with no luck:
*Permission changes for ALL APLICATION PACKAGES
* Laptop and user in an OU with no group policies applying
*Same ISO re-downloaded
*Registry changes advised by Microsoft
* Local admin rights to domain user
Uninstalling and re-installing the apps manually fixed this issue but this isn't the correct way of fixing this as Windows 8 will be rolled out company wide.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
How are the APPs installed on the PC before joining into domain? With Microsoft account?
Besides, have you checked this blog?
What to do if your Windows 8 Modern App fails to start
Please follow the steps mentioned to see if any group policy settings(like AppLocker, logon scripts or proxy settings) or the image itself caused this.

HT1941 Hi i have recently updated my version of iTunes in order to sync music from my macbook air to my new ipod shuffle. After a successful installation the application does not launch and I am unable to oepn iTunes of access my music! Someone please hel

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanks

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
Thanks

HT1212 My iPod is disabled and I am unable to get itunes to accept the device

I have tried to use the trouble shooting from the Apple website about restoring my iPod. After following the online instructions iTunes just reiterated that a passcode was needed. My iPod will not allow me to open this as the pass code was attempted too many times. Any other ideas? Maybe I need to bring it to an Apple store for recovery.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT5100 Itunes u just opens and closes immediately when I try to use it. It worked previously, and now it doesn't. I tried uninstalling it and then installing it again and it still closes as soon as I open it. Other apps do not do this. What should I do?

iTunes u closes as soon as I open it. What should I do?

I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
Good luck,

Why does the screen on my iPad mini jump around? Apps open and close, I can't get back to the home screen. Is my mini possessed?

Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps. I reboot and still it happens. Any suggestions?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Hi Harvester,
I've been having this issue for a while, and I FINALLY got it to work. For what it's worth, here's what I did.
I was trying to send files from my laptop to my desktop and for some reason i saw that my desktop couldn't find my laptop. I went to the Sharing settings and saw that under my "Computer Name" there was nothing there. This may have happened due to my upgrade to Mavericks. Once I placed filled that info in, and restarted my laptop. Lo and behold, Creative Cloud and Growl started working side by side again
This may not be your issue, but I thought I'd pass it along.
