TS1424 The search for itunes wont work..... any ideas?

The search for itunes will not work...I can put the name in but when I click on the search symbol it will not work?

If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

    i cant login anywhere as all my passwords are saved in firefox, i cant even access teh firefox preference to get my password, it's so sad

    You likley have a corrupted Firefox preference or other support file in your User/Library folder.
    Programs load these files from the user account to adjust to user specifications, instead of having multiple copies of the same program on the machine.
    So when you reinstalled Firefox, it reinstalled the progrma only and the user support files remained from before.
    To prove this point, use System Preferences to create another Admin account and log into it, Firefox should run like a charm.
    To remove the Firefox support files from the problem user account your going to need to locate these files and delete them one at a time and try FF again and again.
    The first one you shoull try is your FF .plist file located in your User/Library folder.
    Clicm on the Finder and use the Go > Go to Folder and paste this
    ~/Library/Preferences
    and press Go.
    Now scroll down until you see the Firefox or Mozilla .plist file and Trash it, quit and restart Firefox, it will recreate the preference file with default settings you will have to reset it.
    Next run through the list of fixes #1-13 here before proceeding.

    If you need help deleting other FF files, download the free Easy Find from MacUpdate.com and search for anything "Mozilla" or "Firefox" in your User account only and take your chances you hopefully won't delete your password file in the process.
    You should have site passwords written down someplace and locked up tightin case you need them, a computer isn't totally safe and reliable.

    Place the iOS device in recovery mode using this program

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT203163 I recently had to replace my laptop and now when I try and sync my phone to my laptop I am asked to authorise the laptop, but after I enter my login and password, the search for itunes fails with a message that itunes is not currently available

    I recently had to replace my laptop and now I can't sync iTunes and my phone - the message is that the laptop is not authorised and when I try and authorise it it says that the itunes store is currently unavailable - but it is available on my phone, and I have been trying for over 24hrs - it should be available by now.
    I have checked my firewall settings and they are ok
    How can I remove old PC's that I no longer use and make sure that this is the only computer that is authorised for my account - and how can I access the iTunes store so that I can authorise it?
    Help please

    i had to format my laptop
    You can reinstall Lion (Mac OS X) by pressing Command + R while booting your Mac. No need to re download Lion again.

  • I am unable to deleat history since I updated my ipad to iOS 7. The clear button is not working, any ideas please?

    I am unable to clear my browsing history in safari since I updated to ios7. The clear button is greyed out. Any subsections please?

    If it is one year old minus one day it is still under warranty. If it is more than a year since you purchased it then yes, the warranty has expired.
    Millions of iPads have been sold. Most continue to function long after their warranty has expired. Check the many requests about updating the iOS on the original iPad on these forums and you'll see that there are many iPads still working after three years. My iPad 2, which I had for over two years is still working well for my son in law who took it over from me when I bought a new one.
    Given that there will always be a few iPads that fail early. Most of those will be covered under warranty. But some will fail after the warranty has expired and before the owner expected it to. I'm sorry to hear that you are in this category. Take your iPad to an Apple store and have it looked at. They will provide you with alternatives, one of which is to purchase a like model to the one that failed at a discount. You can then know your options and make the best choice for you.

  • MacBook Pro will not turn or or charge, have tried resetting smc, know the battery and charger both work, any ideas?

    I've plugged in my MacBook with multiple chargers and batteries and every time the charger light illuminates green although the battery is currently dead, and wont turn on still. My guess is that the port the charger actually plugs into is broken though i've heard this probblem is caused by the motheboard being fried, does anyone have an idea on how I can fix this? - Thanks

    We can't help you, for that problem you will just have to take it in for a free evaluation.
    Good Luck

  • Have installed but wont work, any ideas?

    Have Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 9, the 32 bit version. Have installed Flash Player, uninstall, restarted my laptop and installed again but can't get it to work. It shows up as being installed  but when ever I try to view anything that uses Flash Player I'm prompted to install it.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest flash player about four times, checked all the solutions I could find and set up IE as indicated on this thread, have been informed by adobe that flash player is installed and whenever I go to a website that would use it, it doesn't work.  I am usually informed I should install it.
    The check regarding the spinning red symbol did not give me the required picture (not sure what I should have seen but nothing was spinning)
    The files in the suggested macromed file are:
    Flash10u.ocx
    FlashInstall
    FlashUtil10u.activeX.dll
    FlashUtil10u.activeX
    Install
    Any other suggestions?

  • Main button wont work - any ideas!

    Hey,
    Does anyone know what might be wrong - all buttons work except the main one in the middle which means I cant do anything!!!!
    Thanks

    Have tried doing a master reset to check if it's software related (may fix it , may not)
    You will need to back your device up to your PC though before you try this but definatly worth a go.
