TS1717 iTunes not starting after power fail and reinstall

I'm using a Samsung NP700 series laptop, with a dodgy battery, running Windows 7.
I was doing some work when the power failed and my battery failed soon after. When power was restored the system ran CHDISK during boot up and found several problems. I then started getting Win32 exceptions from CFNetwork.dll during start up and whenever I tried to start iTunes.
I followed the advice in the support pages and ended up doing a complete clean and reinstall. After this the exception had gone but iTunes failed to start. I got nothing, double click the icon nothing, open iTunes from the start menu, nothing. No reports, no errors it just failed to do anything.
I had installed the 64 bit version but it wanted to install in 'program files (X86)'. Was this the problem?
In desperation I ran iTunes using 'Troubleshoot Compatibility' that suggested XP SP2 mode and it worked. iTunes complained about being in compatibility but it ran.
Switching off compatibility mode reverts back to iTunes not bothering to start.
Oddly enough iTunes remembers that I was using an external drive for my library, I had expected to have to set that up again after the clean uninstall.
Still I am working, iTunes is not happy but I am working. In the next few days I hope to upgrade to Windows 8 - only God knows what problems that will cause.

Okay, things have gone from bad to worse. I checked the event log again after another failure to start and found that iTunes hadn't started because of an exception thrown by AUDIOSES.DLL. Sfc failed to fix it so I tried a restore to an earlier date.
That's when things went badly wrong. After the restore my system refused to boot. Even the recovery disk failed. Fortunately I was preparing to upgrade my system to Windows 8 and already had the upgrade disk.
One clean upgrade to Windows 8 later and my computer is working again. All I have to do is install all my software again. This is not a big problem as I like to do this every so often to clear out the junk. Haven't got around to iTunes yet (still doing BIOS, drivers and firewall etc first). Hopefully I will be all back to normal in a couple of days. Good job that I am retired.

  • Hyper-V manager will not start after power outage and memory corruption

    We suffered a 2 hour power outage and upon power restoration I had a corrupted memory strip. replaced memory and cannot start Hyper-V manager due to lost mmc file or does not exist. virtual machines are running fine I just can't manage or create any additional.
    This is on win server 2012.
    Anybody....Please Help!!!@!@!

    Try:
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V-Tools
    This installs the Hyper-V Manager GUI tool only.
    If that does not repair it, try:
    Remove-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V-Tools
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V-Tools

    Has your phone ever been hacked or jailbroken. This error message is what usually shows up for that. Are you using a supported carrier for the iPhone, or did someone hack the phone to unlock it to be used on another carrier. If that is the case, then there is no help you can get here as discussing hacked/jailbroken devices is not allowed.

  • TS1717 iTunes not starting

    Hello all,
    I'm at my wits end here. Whenever I try starting itunes it appears briefly on the process list (but not the application list).
    I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.
    iTunes was working fine a couple weeks ago. I don't need to use it much.
    Same result with iTunes safe mode.
    Similar result with a new user account. Instead of failing silently it threw an error:

    No change after uninstalling Microsoft Security Essentials
    Tried windows safe mode, iTunes started. hmmmmm
    Tried diagnostic startup in msconfig, back to iTunes not starting.
    Tried windows safe mode with networking, iTunes doesn't start.
    Tried deleting iTunes config files, the files weren't present.
    Completly uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and re-installed, appeared to install fine but still no start
    No new drivers on manfacturers website
    Repair QuickTime, still no iTunes start.
    Uninstall and re-install with older version of iTunes, still no start. I only tried older versions of iTunes 11 though. Didn't try 10.
    Uninstall and re-install with Security Essentials and UAC disabled, still no dice.

  • Hyper-V Host displays error "Automatic Reapir Failed" and will not start after Power Outage

    I have a single Dell PowerEdge configured as a Hyper-V host running Wink12 R2 Preview as a Native Boot VHD and hosting about a dozen VM's. We had a break in the power, just a lights on lights off, but it was enough to shut the machine down and trigger restart.
    But the machine won't restart--instead it displays a message "Automatic repair Failed" and none of the Advanced repair options work to get the host back online.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Michael J. Murphy

    Hi MJMurphy,
    Sorry for the delay , it seems likely a disk problem cause of unexpect interrupt .
    Please boot the host from OS ISO and  try to copy the VMs' VHD files and any important data to a safe place (such as external USB)via command prompt mode  .
    (perhaps you need to prepare raid driver if you have a raid controler  )
    Using diskpart --> list volume to check the status of disk partion or you can contact the hardware vendor to check it .
    Hope this helps
    Best Regards

  • Yosemite does not start after power loss

    I just want to report a bug related to the new OSX Yosemite.
    Here at work I have to manage around 30 iMacs, plus some MacBook Pro.
    After some initial tests, where I did not discover any particular incompatibility with our applications, I decided to upgrade my machines to Yosemite, but I had to stop the upgrade process when I realized the new OSX has this big and strange problem... now I have my machines half upgraded.
    It happened to have some power losses due to the bad weather conditions, and after each one the machines with Yosemite didn't start... you have the black screen with the apple logo and the bar freezed at almost 50%.
    You can only power OFF and ON till the computer finally starts... usually it takes 5-6 tries.
    The problem is not related with the iMac models, I have some different kind of iMac and on overyone I have the very same problem, the only thing these machines have in common is the new OSX 10.10 (10.10.1 didn't fix this problem), the others with Mavericks does no suffer this matter after the same power loss.
    Hope this report could reach some Apple developer, in any case if I have to produce some log to debug it let me know, I will be happy to help.
    Massimo

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Why will iTunes not start after installing latest updates on a windows computer?

    I got the usual notification that an update for iTunes on a windows 7 computer was available and told it to install
    It went through the motions and seemed to install,. but when I tried to open iTunes on completion I got the message below.
    I subsequently removed iTunes and reinstalled after manually removing various iTunes folders, then reinstalled iTunes with the same result of the error message so I removed iTunes again and installed an older version of iTunes which worked fine until yesterday I was notified of an update for the iCloud, which I installed and am back at square one with the same error message.
    I have tried to send an e-mail to Apple but they make it virtually impossible, so I would appreciate any advice anyone can give. I cannot be bothered with all this mucking avbout every time there is an upgrade
    Thanks, Mactoshb

    Hi, I carried out the advice and after reloading, Itunes is starting OK but I could not delete most of the files and folders mentione,d constantly getting the message that they were open in some unspecified program and to close it to continue, problem was I had no idea what the program was that they were open in.
    However I have Ashampoo uninstaller installed and it identified various programs associated with Apple and after uninstalling them I reinstalled iTunes and it is working fine now.
    Question, am I going to get this cobblers every time Apple offer an upgrade?????
    Anyway thanks for your help and hopefully this posting will help others, as I doubt I am unique and others will have the same problem, Time perhaps Apple sorted it out

  • Adobe Premiere Elements could not start.  Please uninstall and reinstall.

    Worked with support quite a bit over the past few months.  I am getting the subject named error after selecting the Country after my silent install.
    I was provided application.overide XMLS and using the setup.exe to install the application.  It installs successfully, but does not launch.
    This is on Windows XP.  Not sure what else to do.  We have been attempting to get this to install silently since September.
    Setup.exe /S /v/qn. - is what i am running.  If you reply please don't tell me to use OEM.exe, we have confirmed with Adobe Support that this does not work in my situation.

    newbie9999
    The answers are in the details and they are lacking in the information needed to solve this issue.
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
    Are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    And, as John T. Smith has asked, is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
    All basic Q&A background essentials.
    Uninstall, reinstall is often suggested as part of the no start issue. You could have a bad install. Factors need to be ruled in and out. No guarantees. I would suggest the following scheme for this uninstall, reinstall...I am assuming that you have never gotten into the Premiere Elements workspace with the current (first?) install.
    1. Control Panel, usual uninstall
    2. Run the ccleaner (regular and registry)
    3. Reinstall (with antivirus and firewalls disabled in Action Center).
    What do your computer resources look like? I saw no description of them?
    Let us start with the above and then plan the troubleshooting strategy based on your answers.
    Thank you.

  • Toshiba C855-S5236 /P/N PSC72U-01S006 will not start after power is disconnected

    Toshiba Satelite C855-S526 P/N PSC72U-01S006 laptop when power is disconnected either from wall or laptop the computer will not restart.  Have to pull battery and hold power button down.  Then plug in and play with pushing button until it boots up.  Then can shut down replace battery and reboot and it works fine.  Can restart over and over day in and day out, until the power is removed again.  Any suggestions what is wrong.  I have replace the DC Power Jack thinking that might be it.  Still does the same thing.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I figured it out, I think.    I change the battery and it has worked every time booting up after it was unplugged from the power and plugged back in.   Do not know why.

  • MacMini PPC not starting after power outage

    MacMini PPC running Leopard - plugged into a UPS & power strip with a surge protector - it was running last night when the power went out in our area - this morning it won't boot up - get the chime the Apple logo & the spinning clock - can hear the usual startup sounds but a few seconds later it shuts down - inserted the install disk & held the option key - it showed the internal harddrive (with a blue X), the external harddrive with the SuperDuper backup (with a blue X), the install CD (with a blue X) & the Apple Hardware Test, although the mouse works the pointer remains a clock & after a few seconds it shuts down - any ideas or suggestions ? - the Mini acts as our wifi source so am off line except for the iPhone

    I take it that the power outage was long enough to deplete the UPS and that the Mini therefore had its power pulled abruptly when the UPS ran out of juice?
    Since you have a PPC Mini, you can try a PMU reset. (This is only PPC Minis; don't use it if you have an Intel Mini. Intels get the SMC reset.)

  • Mac Mini wont start after power outage, and problem copying iPhoto library. HELP!

        So, recently there was a power outage in my neighborhood, the power was intermitent for about 2 hours, during this time my mac rebooted itself several times, but on the second time it rebooted the power went out during boot, then the power finally went out for good, it was back in about 3 hours, but when i finnaly turned on my mac it got stuck at the Apple logo with a spinning wheel and a progress bar that wouldnt go past 40%, when i boot holding command -v it said that there were a lot of errors which were automatically fixed, except for one, "Incorrect Thread records" or something like that.
        I have another partition with Mountain Lion installed for emergencies, the other one with Lion became inaccessible to mountain lion or any other OS X version, but oddly enough, I can access my Lion partition via HFSexplorer and see all my files untouched.
        My main concern are my pictures in iPhoto, and thats about 36Gb of data, I want to backup them to my windows pc by copying the whole iPhoto library package, but HFSexplores for some reason cant copy the folders with date (XX/XX/XXXX) with the /, and it keeps changing them to XX_XX_XXXX and I know that would pretty much break my iPhoto library!
    I googled my drive problem and people said that I need a Disk Utility called DiskWarrior, but I cant seem to find how to to use it, I got a copy from a friend, it was the digital version of the boot disk which need to be burned to a dvd.
    Any help would be appreciated, and sorry for the bad english

  • My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
