The "swipe" gesture has stopped working on my Pre

Although it worked yesterday, today neither the right-to-left swipe gesture nor the "pull up the shortcut icons while I'm in another card/app" swipe gesture works. There's no response from the Pre to these gestures at all. I am able to throw a card off the top of the screen and to dismiss an email or txtmsg notification off the main screen, but the swipe area below the screen seems to no longer respond to touch. Is there something I can do to attempt to reset this? If not, is there somewhere I should call or take my unit to be looked at? Thanks.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

My Pre had a similar issue yesterday and early today, then it corrected itself. Nothing I did could fix it. My problem was the swipe feature was going "nuts" all by itself. It kept swiping on its own. Programs would minimize, the deck of cards would move, another program would open, and I could see the touchscreen light up like I was touching it (fingerprint). However, when I would used the touchscreen, It would react as though I was touching a different part of the screen (I touch the right side but an app on the left side of screen would open). It was like the screen needed to be re-calibrated. Also, I could not "throw" cards away (close apps). When I tried the up/down motion, it was interpreted as left to right, so the deck of cards simply moved left to right. I completely turned off the phone (which was a chore since the touchscreen was INOP). The reset did nothing. This morning I tried playing with it again and it was still acting up (but on a lesser scale). I was able to work my way to the reset options page and was going to do a full reset, then I noticed everything started working as it should. Not sure what fixed the problem. I've got my fingers crossed this was just a one-time event!

Problem with iTunes. I have Windows 8 on a new laptop. Installed latest version of iTunes. Can play music in My Library but when I click on Itunes Store I get the message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I have a new laptop with Windows 8 as operating system. Installed latest version of iTunes ontop computer. I can play music in My Library but when I click on iTunes, I get the message " iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available."
Anyone know what is the cause and if there is a resolution? Have tried to re-installing iTunes and have also tried restoring laptop to an earlier date.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I am running windows 7. My itunes keep shutting down on me. I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working What can I do?

I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working. A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly. What can be the cause?

Hello Main Event,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching iTunes quitting unexpectedly on Windows 7 and feel it will help to resolve the issue here.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
It starts with troubleshooting 3rd party plug ins, then moves on to account troubleshooting if needed.
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-insfor steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
Take care,
Sterling

I get the message "rnpag has stopped working" followed by "firfoxx has stopped working", what can I do to get firefox working again?

Over the past few months firefox has been crashing unexpectedly but just today it crashed and will not reopen even after shutting down and restarting my laptop. The message that appears when I start my laptop and again when I try to open firefox is "rnpag has stopped working" this is then followed by the message "firefox has stopped working" when I request a solution to the problem nothing happens.

You don't have "Photoshop" proper. You have a cheapo emasculated version called Photoshop Elements. That is NOT Photoshop.
As Gene told you:
Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you want:

Message "itunes has stopped working". Itunes opens and can read an audio cd but as soon as the "get information" option is selected the message "itunes has stopped working" and the computer freezes or at least slows to a snail's pace.

Hi,
I have a PC running Windows 7 - 64bit OS. I have had iTunes installed since the beginning of the year on this computer and have not had any trouble with it except actually using iTunes but that is a different issue. The other day I inadvertently downloaded "Tuneup" which I don't want or need. I firstly want to say I have no concrete evidence that Tuneup has led to my problems. It may be coincidental that Tuneup and my problems appeared together.
Tonight when I started iTunes, Tuneup took over a quarter of the screen on the right side. I closed this program. When the list of tracks was ready to be loaded from the CD and I went to" file" - "get info" option the message "iTunes has stopped working" would appear. Closing this message resulted in iTunes shutting down. I should say that before I closed the message the computer had essentially ground to a halt. The other curious thing was the behavour of the mouse pointer on the screen - the only place where it was visible was in the "iTunes has stopped working" box. Moving it out of the message box resulted in it disappearing. It would reappear if it were caused to wander into the message box.
I subsequently removed Tuneup (control panel, programs and features, etc...) iTunes had not improved. I then deleted iTunes, firstly saving the library to a file on the desktop. Then I did a fresh(?) install of ITunes but there seems to be no change. A curious thing was even though I had deleted iTunes through the control panel the library was still there as if I had done nothing. The whole thing is a complete mystery and extremely galling.
If someone has had a similar problem I would really like to know what the fixes were.
Thanks for "listening".
Cheers,
Grant Andrews.

I had a similar problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. The following solution worked for me:
COPY    QTMovieWin.dll
FROM    c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
INTO     c:\program files (x86)/iTunes
Also, reinstalling Quicktime has worked for others having this same issue.

Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

Hi,
i have tried all that and it still comes up with the same message or doesnt open at all . I have also i have created a new user and itunes works fine on that account.

After upgrading, I am getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message. I've followed all of the troubleshooting tips on the forum without success. Fortunately, it works on my other computers. Running Win7 pro.

After upgrading iTunes, I'm getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message after launch. I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the Forum without success (though most are pretty old...). Fortunately, iTunes works on my other computers, but I have iPad backups on this one that I'd like to keep. Anybody else with this issue??

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!

I can't play MPEG4.avi video - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch"

I can't play MPEG4.avi, or any other, video - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch". Please tell me what to do.

I took the video in 2009. I can't remember the camera model I took it with and the other information you request does not show up in the "i" panel in iPhoto.
My version of iPhoto 11 is 9.2.3.

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.
