Starting just recently, D.E.P. is preventing my iTunes from opening.

Okay.
Is the quickTime player launching at the moment? Or are you getting error messages with that, too?

Data Execution prevention? DEP? This is preventing my iTunes from opening?

Okay, so I finally got the "Critical Quicktime component missing" error message off of there, but now everytime I try to open iTunes, it says that i has "stopped working" and DEP prevents it from opening. Well, when I go to change my DEP settings, it says that it will not run without it. I'm quickly approaching my wits end. Please help me.

First check to see if QUicktime works normally, iTunes will not work without it.
If Quicktime is OK, then use this troubleshooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
If QUicktime does not work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them, they are know to casue problems with QUickitme.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

Prevent pop ups from opening in safari

Despite I prevented pop ups from opening in Safari in preferences; they still keep popping up. I installed two add block extensions but in-vain.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How do I prevent a website from opening another window

A couple of websites I occasionally visit open up a second window to a spam website. I have put an entry in my Hosts file to prevent Firefox from connecting to the spam websites, so the second window is empty. However, it's still a little annoying.
I have pop-up blocking turned on. Is there anyway to completely block the opening of the second window?
If not, why not?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.
Unfortunately, the link you posted tells me exactly nothing. My question is "How do I prevent a website from opening unwanted windows". These are full Firefox windows, just like you would get if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in a new window".
There are only two possible answers:
(A) To block unwanted windows, do this ________ (insert answer)
or
(B) It's not possible.
If the answer is (B) then the follow-up question is -- Why Not?

"Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window" - Interface with Kerio Connect 7.0.0 -

I'm in a regional office. Corporate uses Kerio Connect 7.0.0 for email. Today 5/7/10 I started having problems whenever I open an email of ANY type, I can view it in viewing pane, but double clicking it gives me the message "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window." NOBODY ELSE in my company has had this problem (I have had it happen a few times in the past, but not ALL emails like today!). I am on my own in a regional office, so guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this and it is not working. The only thing I can think of is that Firefox automatically upgraded to the 3.5 version I believe sometime last week, which is when I truly began to see the problem.
No wonder I have avoided upgrading! It seems to me that Firefox STILL has not corrected this problem.
I have seen multiple people as late as last week complaining @ same issue and they are reverting back to FF 3.0.
Sound like this is my only solution.
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Hi,
A painless way to do it ...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

Can you prevent a pdf from opening if a user has javascript disabled?

I have code that is important to always be running in a pdf file for corporate security reasons. I understand some users may choose not to allow scripting which is fine but in those cases I do not want the user to be allowed to open the file. Is there a way to prevent the file from opening if javascript is disabled?
Thanks in advance.

No. However, you can have a layer covering the content of the file which can be made hidden using JS code when the file is opened.
But the user will still be able to hide the layer manually.

Prevent Mac users from opening a PDF form in Preview

When I create an AcroForm, it does not behave the same when someone fills it out in Preview, and when I receive the completed form back from them, some of the information in the form fields is missing.
Is there a way to prevent Mac users from opening the form in Preview? Or to give them a message that the form needs to be filled out using Reader?

You can't stop them doing it (except by standing next to their computer with a heavy stick).
You could consider having a large field on the page warning that the file is not to be used (or whatever), which is hidden using Acrobat JavaScript.
Be aware that we are now dealing with a very large set of PDF readers.
Included with computers: Mac OS Preview, Windows Reader.
Included with browsers: Chrome, Firefox.
Included with portable devices.
Anyone who gets a computer these days in fact gets a PDF viewer which is bad with forms. You need to give them a compelling reason to download extra software. (Or, frankly, give up on PDF forms. I think their day has passed for a general audience who could fill in a browser form).

Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". What do i do?

I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found". What can I do?

I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

For some reason, just recently i am unable to send e mails from my aol account from my i phone. I cannot send pics etc. as e mail either, when i have always been able to before. Can anyone help ?

just recently i am unable to send any sort of e mails from my i phone using my aol e mail account. I am unable to forward pics to others via e mail. It simply will not allow, when i have always been able to before.

We took our MacBook Pro to the apple store, after a long trial and error, they FIXED the problem!
It turns out that one of the files was corrupt, it was either Java or Silverlight.
My suggestion to you is to remove Java than restart and then reinstall Java. See if hotmail works. If not, than, remove Silverlight reboot than reinstall Silverlight.
For us, it was one of those two files that were corrupt and that was causing hotmail to not be able to send email.
I'm not sure what the procedure is to remove and reinstall files, all I know is that my wives MacBook can now send email using hotmail.
Hope this helps.

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I opened the camera there is a big black border around the screen causing the picture itself frame to be smaller I don't know what I did to cause this or what I can do to make it go away can anyone help/

First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

How do I prevent OS X from opening apps on external backup drive?

I have an external backup drive connected to my iMac and powered on 24/7. I do a nightly clone of my boot drive to this backup. I've been having a problem lately where OS X will open an application that is on the external clone of my boot drive instead of the internal boot drive itself. One example of this is when I use Lightroom and choose "Edit in Photoshop", instead of opening Photoshop on my iMac boot drive it opens it on the external clone of the boot drive.
Is there some way I can prevent OS X from "seeing" the applications on the clone, and opening them? Thanks.

Hi,
In System Preferences > Start Up Disk is one device set as the Start Up Disk ?
It may not be clear just looking at the left to right scroll area (depending how many drives and Partitions) but selecting one can often help.
At Start Up the computer looks for a valid Boot Disk.
If it does not seem to be set it is supposed to go through some checks to find out which one to Boot from. Most occasions it will pick the last Drive/partition that it was Booted from. However the order in which the Internal Drives are connected to the system may also pay a part, particularly of the Current required Boot drive is not the original hard drive (Or at least in it's physical place, cable connection-wise).
Also Click on the desktop and open Mac Help (Help Menu in the Finder) and see what that has to say.

Data Execution Prevention prevents itunes from opening on my user ID, but not every other user ID.

I completely deleted every Apple file from my computer. There are 4 user IDs on my computer. Mine is the Administrator, my husband's ID my son's ID. and a completely new ID I set up to see if I could get iTunes to work.
I reinstalled iTunes 10.5 on my Administrator ID. The installation went fine, but iTunes will not open in my ID, or my husband's ID. I get the message that Data Execution Prevention has closed it. iTunes will open in my son's ID, as well as the new ID I set up for iTunes testing.
I have tried uninstalling (deleting ALL Apples files) and reinstalling on my ID as a Standard user. Same thing. iTunes doesn't work on my ID or husband's, but does on the other 2 User IDs.
I have not activated Microsoft Outlook on the 2 IDs where iTunes works. Outlook is activated on the other 2 User IDs.
Does something about Outlook cause me to get the DEP error? Is there a way to fox this problem? I really don't want to have to go to a completely different User ID everyt ime I want to use iTunes.
I am using Windows Vista Home Deluxe, and installing the 64-bit iTunes download on the Apple.com website.
I have used instructions from several documents here on the Apple boards. The ones I use most are "iTunes for Windows:Doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista of Windows 7". "iTunes for Windows of Windows 7:Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues", and on this one, I followed the instructions for user-specific troubleshooting. I also followed the instructions in "General installation troubleshooting".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes so many times, i can almost do it in my sleep. Somebody please help. My iPhone and iPod need updating!! Thanks!!!

OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks and 10.10 Yosemite
