  • My iTunes on Windows 7 opens just once. If I close it and try to reopen, it won't open again. I have alreadytried solutions from the article "iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues". Please help.

    HI! My itunes on windows 7 opens once. If i close it, then it will not open again. I then need to turn computer off and back on and it will open again, once. I have tried troubleshooting with the article 'unexpected quits, freezes or launch problems' but that did not help. I have also tried disabling the Bonjour Service. No change either. Please advise. Thanks.

  • HT203167 I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

    ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.  Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock.  Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

    Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
    You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you?  If so, that won't work.  The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection.  All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

  • I have Norton 360 and I did all the suggested fixes and I am still having problems getting Norton back on my tool bar. Can you please help?

    I want Norton back on my tool bar. If unable to get back I will have to stop using Firefox

    Symantec are due to release updates very soon to make their add-ons work in Firefox 4.0.1. For details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808
    Pending this update, you can go back to Firefox 4.0, their add-ons work in that version. You can get Firefox 4.0 from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0/win32/ - you need to select the folder for your language, you can then download and run the Firefox 4 setup file to install it.
    If you do install Firefox 4.0 temporarily turn off automatic updates until Symantec update their add-ons. To do that in the Firefox options window, go to the Advanced panel, and then the Update tab and de-select the option to automatically check for updates to Firefox.

  • I have been through all the steps given in help to enable cookies but the site i am trying to log into still says i have to have a cookie enabled browser....i am only having trouble with this one site and it is not blocked

    each time i try to log in as a member to this site i get the message that i have to have a cookie enable browser. all other sites seem to be working fine. cookies are enable, have been cleared and i have nothing blocked at all

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • IOS5 or not ?  I have been reading all the post here for the last few day and am not hearing to many people rave over IOS5. So what's the answer, update or stay as is.

    Wondering what to do.

    I'm on a first gen iPad and apart from the lack of multitasking gestures (which is only on the second gen), there is nothing that I've found that I don't like or won't be able to get used to. Apart from anything else the iCloud features will probably come in useful. You should also remember that people tend to post on support forums like these because they have problems and/or questions - those who havn't had problems don't have a reason to post.
    But ultimately the choice is down to you - you don't have to update. You will find that over time apps will start to have iOS 5 as a requirement (the current versions of Pages, Numbers, Keynote already do), so at some point you will probably need to do so if one of your existing apps gets updates that you'd like to have, and/or a new app is released that you want - but you can wait until if/when that happens, the choice is yours.

  • When I click to launch firefox it says your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. How do I fix this? I have been through all the troubleshooting and can not figure this out.

    This just randomly occured when I tried to get online yesterday. I tried to go through run and pull up my profile but it does not seem to be there. I tried to create a new profile through run as well and it just pops up this error message. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and that does not seem to wrok either.
    This is not an issue on any other user accounts

  • I have gone through all the suggested steps to restore the navigation toolbar to the default position, yet none have worked. Is there anyway I can do so? If not, where can I get a copy of the previous edition of Firefox?

    I have tried all posted means to restore default settings to my navigation toolbar. Are there other ways?

    I was a strong supporter of Firefox until this happened. None of the fixes have worked...and besides why should I have to waste my time trying to fix it in the first place. I lost a lot of time and information with this situation and Firefox provides no support for itself that I can see. No...I've switched to Google Chrome and Firefox will have a serious uphill climb getting me back or preventing me from warning others off their product. FIREFOX HAS COST ME SEVERAL HOURS...NO...DAYS REPAIRING THIS DAMAGE. I won't be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank god we still have the freedom to chose in this country...at least for now.
    P.S. I hope Firefox goes the way of Netscape. I was once a supporter of their product too...but they blew it bad...

  • Itunes will not open even though I can see it running in the processes

    I have tried every answer on every forum I have read so far and nothing has worked. From showing hidden files, to removing SSID's to uninstalling and re-installing older versions of Itunes and yet nothing will work.
    I can see it running in processes, but is nowhere to be seen onthe computer? How is this possible?

    Try testing iTunes in another user account or in safe mode, like suggested here -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    That'll at least help you narrow down what you need to troubleshoot a little.

  • ITunes will not start up in Windows XP SP2 and maxes out CPU

    Hello all,
    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, or if this is a similar problem faced by others.
    I have browsed the forums for hours trying to find a similar issue to my own, and have tried several solutions but none have worked. I have lost track of the amount of times I have re-installed iTunes.
    Having recently aquired an 80Gb iPod Video, I set about re-loading all of my music as 192Kb AAC in iTunes. I have always used iTunes to download music, but this is the first time I have used it so much, having previously used WMP to listen to my music collection.
    At some stage last week it stopped functioning, freezing everytime I started it up, and subsequently forcing me to use Task Manager to quit.
    Sometimes it would just freeze as soon as I clicked in the window, other times it would let me input my sign-in details before freezing whilst 'Accessing iTunes Store'.
    I did recently upgrade to iTunes 7.2, and decided to upgrade some of my files to non-DRM, and it had been working fine up until some point last week.
    Which is what I really can't understand. I had downloaded 7.2 a week or so before this happened, so could it really be an issue with the non-DRM tracks? I noticed in a previous post this being an issue, and not to upgrade, and so I attempted to install an earlier version 7.1, but still had the same issue with it freezing.
    Something I noticed today was that the Apple web page would not load, as the Quicktime plugin would not initiate. Could it be a Quicktime issue?
    Someone suggested to me it could be a issue with Norton?
    Another suggested it could be down to Automatic Updates.
    Having checked both of these avenues, there don't appear to be any programs downloaded onto my computer that would affect iTunes.
    All of my music is stored on an external USB 2.0 HDD. I can't imagine it being an issue with that, as I can access all of my files on that fine through My Computer.
    Apologies for the long an convoluted issue. Any help will be much appreciated. If I have missed anything I shall post again.
    Regards,
    Matthew Wittrick.

    You can try a couple things. You may wish to try and rebuild your iTunes Library. At times if this gets corrupted it could cause possible freezing when launching itunes or using iTunes.
    Posted below is the article for that.
    How to re-create your iTunes Library

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    You will also want to try a basic Uninstall and Install of the iTunes Software. Also ensure you have the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime. If you get the iTunes bundle it will include the update for both.
    You may also wish to create a new user and see what kind of results you get. If the issue is still the same. You may want to follow the article below. It speaks about cleaning out Apple Software and hidden files and folders. Since all your music is on a backup HD you do not have to worry about deleting any of it as it is already backed up.
