Some Itunes files will not open

I recently migrated my files from an old computer. I deauthorized all my equipment and am now operating on my new computer. I have installed the most recent version of Itunes 6.0.5.20, and have recenlty attemptd an un install reinstall of quicktime.
Most of my files will play and are recogized by Itunes. The issue largely surrounds music I converted from my personal CD collection and a few select purchased tracks.
These files will not allow me to add them to the library (no error just doesn't happen) and when i click on them I get a few seconds of quality time with the hour glass and nothing. I have attempted to deauthorize and reauthorize using the purhased music but nothing.
Could this have something to do with compatibility between previous versions of Itunes? The files I am having an issue with were all created or downloaded at a specific time 06/01/05 downloads don't appear to be working any more?

have Norton, but not the fire wall. Itunes can access the internet and plays the majority of my songs. A selection I purchased on May 31, 2006 will no longer play, and my ported songs from my personal CD collections will no longer play.
I checked Quicktime and the program is available on my computer in stand alone... I also unistalled and reinstalled based on another thread that suggested this as a solution.
I use Ad Aware for spyware and downloaded your Ewido (nice program) but all the two ever catch is tracking cookies.
The program is acting like these files are resticted or some how not authorized to play, they promt the program to open but will not allow me to add them to my Library or play them. I get an hour glass for a few seconds the program initializes and then nothing....
Is there a way to test if the program thinks these are file not authorized or not compatible - I would have assumed I would get an error message stating wha the issue is, but I am not getting an error, just no responce.
How about another program that will play itunes compatible non-protected files. Any suggestions to see if at least my personal cd collection files are not some how corrupted?

  • Some PDF files will not open

    Hi - anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated as I am beyond frustrated.
    I have Adobe Reader (version 11.1.3) on my Android phone (SG4)  but this applies to iPhones as well. Some PDF files open without issue. But there are a few that just give me a message that says "Please wait... if this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of content. You canupgrade tot he latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows, Mac or Linux by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download."
    There are 2 files specifically that boggle me. Both of these are Adobe forms, extended to reader, that I created and both were downloaded from our intranet. One will open and one will not. I tried recreating the one that will not open, had it uploaded to our intranet but still it won't open...
    I can't for the life of me understand why?!?!

    These are online documents, right?  This message usually means that you are trying to open the doc in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

  • Some Word Files will not open on Windows Server 2012R2

          
    I have identical versions of Word 2010 on two different computers. One is Windows 7, and one is Windows Server 2012R2. The Win 7 is my primary writing machine but sometimes I  need to open a Word file on the other machine.
    Some of the files open fine on Windows2012 machine, but some give me an error:
    "Word experienced an error trying to open the file." It then makes some suggestions for things to try, including Repair as I am opening the file, but none of these suggestions work. I keep getting the same error.
    I cannot see what is different between the files that open fine and the files that give this error.
    They all open fine on the Windows 7 machine.
    I have tried do a full Repair on Microsoft Office and then rebooting.
    The normal way of sharing the files is to copy from Windows 7 to a cloud location and then downloading on the Windows 2012 machine. But I have also tried emailing the file to myself from Windows 7 and opening the email on Windows 2102. I get the same problem.
    What else can I try?
    Thanks

  • Some Canon CR2 RAW Files Will Not Open In Elements 8

    I use a Canon 7D DSLR.  Up until 30 minutes ago I never had a problem opening Canon CR2 RAW files in Photoshop Elements 8.
    Some files still open others do not.  I can think of only one thing.  I was shooting a large number of frames and reduced the RAW Image size down from RAW Large Only to RAW Medium with Small Jpeg to give me more room on the Compact Flash Card.
    The Large RAW only CR2 files open fine in PSE 8, the Jpegs open fine, but the smaller sized CR2 files will not open and I get a wrong file type message in PSE8.
    Any ideas why this would happen?  I suspect it is a function of the camera setting, but all RAW files download as CR2 files.
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter.  Needless to say I am resetting my camera back to Large RAW files only.
    Alex

    ACR 5.x only supported full-sized 7D RAWs, but ACR 6.x supports 7D mRAW and sRAW, so just update to the latest version of the plugin, following the PSE-specific instructions:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    sRAW and mRAW files are not RAWs because the camera has already demosaicked them to RGB and encoded them as lossless JPG.
    Here is technical information on the reduce-sized RAWs:

  • Itunes Library will not open!!!!!    itunes Library will not open!!!!!

    Hello,
    This is very frustrating that hundreds of people view these questions and only a few people answer. The issue here is that my itunes Library will not open. I'd sure like to know what is causing this and if it's gone forever.
    WinXP. Pro.
    I have many Mp3 music files under the same playlist names as in my ipod, i:e: Country,Jazz,Blues,Classic Rock, Alternative,vocal,light sounds,etc. When I drag new mp3 music files into my ipod library,then sync to my ipod, Itunes makes a backup of itune music files in their folder..I think. Anyway, those mp3 muic files are still on the Hard drive,but I can not open up my itunes Library. is it Gone????
    Sooooooooooooooo...I was slap-happy in upgrading my itunes software for my 80GB fith gen ipod for the kick of it. I downloaded the new updates.then tried to open my itunes library and it wouldn't open...I hooked up my Ipod thinking that may help open up the Library,but nothing.
    I tried the system restore,nothing. I uninstalled itunes,then reinstalled the itunes/quicktime download from apple. I clicked on the itunes icon on the desktop a few times and then a few times more,nothing. I guess I'm missing the itunes.ink file to open this up. regardless, I went to the Windows/Start/programs/itunes...nothing again. Windows Explorer/C:/ program files/itunes...nothing.
    I was afraid when I uninstalled the itunes software from before,it would erase the itunes Library,but the music is still on my hard drive,I just can't open the itunes Library. At this point,I should buy an external hard drive and transfer all my Mp3 files and the itunes music files/podcasts/photos,wipe the hard drive,reinstall the O.S. and start all over again.
    I'm guessing I am out of options with this itune Libray. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

    Still unanswered. I'm still trying to install itunes so I could use the library. I am removing Mp3 files from my hard drive to free up space,so if I ever do get the itunes setup,I'll have to remove the SYNC and do the manual so I ONLY transfer Podcasts into the ipod and not lose them becuase of the unchecked boxes.
    Ok, I uninstalled EVERYTHING that has to do with Itunes/ipod from the computer..Add/remove programs, serch all files/folders,Windows Explorer,Start>All programs,the Itune reference. Turned off all my Firewall,spyware,and anti-virus,,downloaded the new 7.5 version Itunes/ipod...saved to desktop,installed the new software...then NADA! NOTHING! I can click on the shortcut desktop icon, and all the other ways to click the software open, but nothing. peole on other sites reccomend Tag and rename and use the Winamp media Library,because of all the lack of personal customer support APPLE lacks. I guess I was a Big FOOL to spend my hard earned $350.00 for this ipod.

    Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
    usually run
    EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
    don't have

    more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me. 

  • .mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

    I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
    " The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
    When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions?  Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
    Help!!
    Thank you!
    Diego Lopez-Videla
    Houston, TX

    Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
    That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
    It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
    In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what  you need to read it.
    You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.

  • Pdf files will not open

    Hi,
    I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
    I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
    Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
    1)  After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
    2)  I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response.  Nothing happens.
    3)  I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
    =======
    I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8.  I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour.  Not a whole lot happens.  It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
    In fact - I went to the folder:  
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader  and
    tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
    I'm completely lost!  Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
    Thanks,
    Mike
    Some hardware & OS background info:  Toshiba Laptop - 1.58 Ghz, 3GB RAM - M/S Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

    I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
    Workaround #1:
    I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files.  I downloaded  "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works.  I can now view my pdf docs!
    However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
    Workaround #2:
    I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
    Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive)  the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure  C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
    I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
    It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs.  I guess when I need to remove the program in the future  - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
    ===============
    Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
    In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files.  It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC.  I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!

  • After I update itunes, it will not open.

    For the past year I have been trying to fix this problem. After I try to update my itunes, it will not open on my computer. Sometimes it says my quicktime is not updated or it says my windows is not compatible. I have no idea how to fix this problem!! If anyone can help, that would be awesome!! Thank you!!

    Taken from another post:
    1) Uninstall whatever version of itunes and quicktime your running. Go to your control panel and under "add/delete" programs select both applications. This will not wipe your song files.
    2) after you delete both applications. Reinstall itunes version 7.5. This will also automatically install Quicktime 7.3. Things will still not work.
    3) Go back into"add/delete" and uninstall quicktime. BLOW it away.
    4) Go to the following link and download and install quicktime version 7.2
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime72forwindows.html
    5) Restart itunes....all should work.

  • FCP files will not open

    I have FCP files that were created by a co-worker. I have them on a jump drive but for some reason they will not open on my computer in FCP. I'm using fcp 5 I'm not sure if my co-worker is using fcp 6. I plan to ask but they are out for the week and i can't get them.

    I had that same inclination, however, does that matter when it comes down to raw footage that was just uploaded into a particular version of final cut. I know that if she is using 6 and I'm using 5 then we have a problem, but i was unaware that the hardware would make a difference. Thanks for the response, you have been helpful

  • Itunes simply will not open! please tell me why...i need my music!

    hello (hopefully) helpful peeps,
    ok firstly, i know virtually nothing about computers...and mine is driving me nuts!!
    i use an old powerbook (think it's from 2000). i have been having several problems with it over the past year, but the most annoying one is that itunes simply will not open. i have re-installed it several times but when i click on it, it just bounces twice and then...nothing. it says it is there in my applications folder- version 8.0.2, taking up 139.3 MB of my limited space (only 5.59 GB hard drive!) and it is completely useless to me! when i installed this latest version i checked the compatibility and it all seemed fine, so it can't be to do with that.
    please can anyone help? ...i just want to listen to my music! :'(
    ps. use BASIC computer talk please! think 'computers for dummies', none of this fancy lingo. ta!

    LOL! good analogy...and i love mini coopers!
    i am just as surprised as you that it is still hanging on despite it's age and size...tho it is driving me nuts and most of the time i want to take a sledge hammer to it!
    my brother uses the exact same one, only i think he put a larger internal drive in his and he doesn't seem to have any problems (in fact this one used to be his til it broke one day, so he got another one, but managed to fix this one and gave it to me! it was second hand to begin with) i have had nothing but problems! but i just don't understand why itunes etc worked fine before when i haven't really used any more space, if anything i now use less cos i deleted practically everything!
    so is it possible to get a larger internal drive (considering how old it is) or do you think it's not worth it? i have absolutely no idea how i would go about that, i suppose i would have to pay someone to fit it? i wouldn't dare open it up myself!
    if they weren't so hideously expensive, i would just buy a lovely shiny new macbook since macs are def my preferred choice...tho i don't know why i am still loyal after all the grief it has given me!
    cheers for being so helpful and sorry to ask all these questions but you seem to know your stuff...i'm clueless

  • PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

    PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

    Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
    Adobe Reader version 11.0.04  is now working for me.
    Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob
