Why did itunes crash corrupt my whole computer?

i hate itunes so much! i tried to download some tunes and the files were corrupted on apples end, it wouldnt let me download them, it kept giving me errors. then you know what happened, itunes lost my whole library, then you know what happened, all my prefrences for all my applications suddenly disappreared. i have no bookmarks, no email settings, nothing. im sooooo ****** off right now its not even funny.
why did the crash of itunes screw up my whole computer? and what can i do to bring it back to the way it was before itunes blew it up?
this is unacceptable. because of this, i will never buy anythig from itunes store again.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion
I'm sorry to hear of your problems. However, I wonder if iTunes screwed up your computer? Perhaps there's another, core issue with your Hard Disk? Have you run any Hardware Diagnostics?
Regards

Hi,
JNDI needs some property such as the
java.naming.factory.initial
java.naming.provider.url
which are needed by the
InitialContext(env);
where env is a properties object
Now if you can not find the physical property file on the class path
by AtccJndiTemplate.class.getResourceAsStream(this.jndiProperties);
where the String "jndiProperties" get injected by certain IOC ( inverse of control container ) such as Spring framework
if not found then it will take the property from the system which will come from the evniromental variables which are set during the application start up i.e through the command line
java -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory -Danother=value etc..
I hope this could help

Why did I crash on the new itunes update?

I just updated itunes yesterday. Since then I can't backup to my computer. Ended up losing everything on my iPad2. Need a simple answer since I'm barely computer literate.........
Thanks.

Also consider the following approach. I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

Why did itunes 11 crash?

Why did itunes crash?

Hello shirley236,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Why did IMovie 9 start crashing when trying to import from camcorder

I have Imovie 8.0.6 and a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder. I have been importing from this camera for a long time, with no problems but now, IMovie crashes whenever I push the import button. I checked and when nothing is connected, the internal camera comes up when I push the import button. I connect the Panasonic first & see it on the desktop & then open Imovie. ANy idea why it keeps crashing?

Yes, 20 GB is very little - when you import you produce AIC files which are much larger than the original clips. Unless you can clear a lot more space (tens of GB) you need an external hard drive to put your iMovie media on.
This is the AVCHD file structure you should see from the Finder when you connect your camera like an external drive:
First copy the clips you want to use from the STREAM folder to another folder on your hard disk.
Next, you need to convert them from .mts to .mov format using the free program Media Converter. You can also do batch conversions by dropping multiple .mts files onto its window. You need to instal the Re-wrap AVCHD for Quicktime - uncompressed Audioplugin. It is fast since it is not transcoding but simply changing the video wrapper. The website is:
http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/
The resulting .mov clips will import into iMovie (this works for iMovie 9 - I'm assuming it will also work with iMovie 8.)

Why Did My iMac Hard Drive FAIL?

I am majorly upset right now.
My iMac 2009, 21.5" (4GB Ram, 500GB Hard drive) computer that was practically unused since it was in storage for 2 years in my basement while I went out of town on business- suddenly had a Hard Drive Failure for no reason! Since the Warranty was expired on Apple Care, I took it in a Mac store - only to be told by the repair man that the hard drive needed a replacement. He did quick testing, and these were the results:
Ran MRI and everything passed
Reset pram and SMC
Ran storage diagnostics
Proposed Resolution: Replace hard drive
Total cost: A WHOPPING $229.00 plus tax for the hard drive plus labor costs. When I asked if I could just upgrade to a 1TB Hard drive since I was shelling out money anyways, Apple flat-out REFUSED- saying they couldn't put a warranty on a new hard drive, just the replaced one. Sounds like complete BS to me!
Further more, I would like to know how the **** this happened! A few times when the iMac was on the table and running, I lifted it up and clunked it back down a bit rough to readjust it- but it continued to work for a few more days. I doubt that would ruin a hard drive. I own a Macbook 13" that I clunk around all the time, the hard drive has never failed. Suddenly my hardly-used iMac that worked out the box when I first started using it again suddenly has a random hard drive malfunction a week in??? And now I'm out $250.00. I just feel jipped. I thought Apple products are meant to last. Apparently not. The guy said "Well it's a four year-old computer". Yeah but I only used it one year and then it was in storage! So whose to say THIS hard drive won't fail as well?
Why did this happen?

Hard Drive Warning (all makes and models)
Ironically but logical, new hard drives are far more fragile than one that has been working for several months or a couple years. So beware in your thinking that a new hard drive translates into “extremely reliable”!
Hard drives suffer from high rates of what has been termed "infant mortality". Essentially this means new drives have their highest likelihood of failing in the first few months of usage. This is because of very minor manufacturing defects or HD platter balancing, or head and armature geometry being less than perfect; and this is not immediately obvious and can quickly manifest itself once the drive is put to work.
Hard drives that survive the first few months of use without failing are likely to remain healthy for a number of years.
Generally HD are highly prone to death or corruption for a few months, then work fine for a few years, then spike in mortality starting at 3-4 years and certainly should be considered end-of-life at 5-7+ years even if still working well. Drives written to once and stored away have the highest risk of data corruption due to not being read/written to on a regular basis. Rotate older working HD into low-risk use.
The implication of this is that you should not trust a new hard drive completely (really never completely!) until it has been working perfectly for several months.
Given the second law of thermodynamics, any and all current mfg. HD will, under perfect storage conditions tend themselves to depolarization and a point will be reached, even if the HD mechanism is perfect, that the ferromagnetic read/write surface of the platter inside the HD will entropy to the point of no viable return for data extraction. HD life varies, but barring mechanical failure, 3-8 years typically.
Data redundancy (copies) makes all HD crashes inconsequential, an irrelevancy.
There are only two kinds of hard drives, those that have failed, and those that will fail, regardless of quality of manufacture.
Any Macbook or desktop should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
Never backup your data exclusively upon magnetic hard drives or flash storage, nor consider same since magnetic storage degrades over time, roughly 3-8 years, even under ideal storage conditions.

Why did I have a kernel panic?

I was in the process of disconnecting my Nikon D40 (a procedure I have done many times without incident). Usually I shut the camera off and pull out the USB connector once the volume disappears from my desktop, with no problem. This time, as soon as I shut off the camera, I got a strange "You must restart your computer" message I'd never seen before (I've had the computer almost 3 years). Discovered this was a "kernel panic" message.
Why did my computer do this? The only thing that's changed on it recently is that I installed Adobe Air although I don't believe I was running any Air applications at the time. At the time I was running Photoshop Elements, Nikon Picture Project, Firefox and a feed reader called Feedpopper. Again I have run all these programs without trouble for several years.
Here is the message from panic.log:

Perhaps try it again and see if it was just a bad alignment of the planets last time. You could also post more of the log to see which thread it was that actually crashed and what was happening. In the meantime this will keep you busy:

Why did Safe Mode fix Mail?

As somebody that likes to try and be as dependent on others as little as possible, and also someone who wants to understand how things work...I have a question.
When OSX updated to 10.10.3, my Apple Mail stopped working. Mac support had me start the computer in Safe Mode and open Mail. It opened fine in safe mode (I could no longer talk with the guy by this point, since we were using web chat). What surprised me was I didn't alter anything. I just opened the app, closed it, rebooted into normal mode, and now Mail works fine again.
What exactly happened by booting into Safe Mode? Why did that fix it when I changed nothing?

Hard to say. If you look at Safe Mode and read about what it does, then you may have clues. Certain user-installed items don't run in safe mode and caches are replaced in safe mode. Today I came across this article: Fix Mail crashing after upgrading to Yosemite | MacIssues.
But the important thing is to see if Mail continues to work when you reboot normally since you cannot go on operating in safe mode forever. If Mail continues to work, then I would bet on a cache related issue.

Why does Safari crash?

Why does Safari crash on my internal start-up disk and not on a booted SuperDuper external disk?
Safari started behaving weird with very high CPU usage, then it refused to start up altogether, it doesn't even reach the safari icon when it crashes.
Did repair disk permissions. No good.
Around the same day i also lost the connection with my TimeMachine drive (third time this year). I've had it with timemachine.

Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear?

Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear? I also lost and had to reload Quicken. This all happened in three days.

The applications are gone. First Quicken disappeared and I reloaded it from the disk yesterday. Today Mail, Contacts and iPhoto disappeared. No one else uses my computer and I've had no other crashes and I haven't made any changes. I don't think anything else is missing. Apple is sending me disks so I can reload the missing stuff but they wouldn't speculate on why it happened nor whether it will continue. Thanks for helping.

Why did the latest update (31.1.2) delete database files for primary email account in profile?

After restarting TB to apply the 31.1.2 update, all of the database files for my primary email account were apparently deleted. Restarting TB again got it to start syncing with the IMAP server again, but it has to download around 100,000 messages again because of this. Was this a design decision or is there a problem with the update itself? And why did it only affect my primary email account and leave the other 4 (much smaller ones) unscathed?

Account5 is the one affected which is still attempting to sync. It also appears that my sync choices were altered without permission or notification. I always keep the Deleted folder and the POP subfolder from Hotmail accounts disabled since it is merely duplicating content in other folders. When re-checking the sync settings because it was taking so long, I found that the POP subfoler was selected for sync again.
The crash report is from a later TB crash, the first one ever on this system.

Why did my mouse stop scrolling after upgrading to mavericks?

I have completely lost all ability to scroll with my Apple Magic Mouse after upgrading to Mavericks.   Why did this happen?   How can it be fixed?    It worked fine with Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.

Everyone:
I was able to solve my own problem, after scouring the Internet looking for solutions. Sadly, the Apple Support Community was of no help.
Here's the full story:
I originally had purchased my iMac with Snow Leopard installed.   I loved it just the way it was, and really did not ever want to upgrade. However, I've been around computers long enough to know that I would HAVE to do it someday, only because of the age old problem of wanting to run some new application in the future, but not being able to, becasue the app would only run on the latest version of OS X. I reluctantly upgraded to Mountain Lion less than a year ago, without too many problems -- nothing I wasn't able to fix fairly easily anyway. When Mavericks came out, with the "offer I could not refuse" price of FREE, I knew I would eventually have to install it.
So the day comes when I'm finally ready to install Mavericks. To get ready for that day, I did the following:
I ran CCleaner on Mountain Lion to clear out any old files accumulated. (No longer works in Mavericks)
Made sure my Time Machine backup was up to date
Cleared out gigbytes of old files off my hard drive, and archived them on an external USB drive
Made sure every single app on my iMac was fully upgraded.
Made sure Mountain Lion itself was fully upgraded!
I then set aside a full day for the upgrade, knowing full well how long it could take, even with a very fast internet connection. Eventually I worked up the courage to go to the App Store, and proceded to download Mavericks.
The update seemed to go smoothly enough, no problems that I noticed. So I finally get to the point where I can sign on to my iMac again, opened up the Chrome browser, and found out that my mouse was was unable to scroll. I then opened up Firefox and Safari, and found that I could not scroll pages on those browsers either. As a matter of fact, I couldn't scroll using my mouse no matter what app I tried. That feature was completely lost.
I went to ' System Preferences --> Mouse ' to look at the settings, and only the most basic settings were available: click and speed, nothing at all for scrolling or swiping.   That's not good....
Looking to see if anything else was missing in System Preferences, I saw that there was no option for Blue Tooth at all. As a matter of fact, Blue Tooth was completely inoperative, and there was literally nothing I could do to make it work. The Mavericks upgrade had completely trashed Blue Tooth on my iMac. I have no idea how my wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse were even operational, Apple must have some sort of "back door" that keeps those two connected even when the entire Blue Tooth subsystem is off-line.
Since there was absolutely no way to fix this, given the damage done by the Mavericks upgrade, my only choice was to do a complete re-install of Mavericks. I did this by turning off my iMac, and then after turning it back on, I held down the command + R keys to initiate the "recovery" of my iMac, and re-installed Mavericks. There are screens the are displayed that walk you through the process, which is fairly easy and strait-forward.
This above process is a feature called OS X Recovery, and it has been present since Lion. Here's a link to an article that explains it more fully:
OS X: About OS X Recovery
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
I did not know about this feature, but found out about it after doing various web searches in an effort to find a solution to my problem.
So, I basically ended up installing Mavericks a second time. This took hours to accomplish, but it worked.   After the second installation, I signed on, and sure enough, Blue Tooth was back in operation, and my Magic Mouse worked without any problems what so ever. I had full scrolling ability in all my apps.
So OS X Recovery saved the day, at least for me.
I should note that before doing the Mavericks upgrade on my iMac, I had already performed the upgrade on a family member's MacBook, without any problems encountered at all.   They were still running Snow Leopard, the orignal OS that came with their MacBook! Like me they were reluctant to upgrade, but eventually it becomes a necessary evil.
Here's hoping that this information may be of use to someone in the future.

Why did Word on Office 2013 REMOVE Auto Correct from Right-Click Context Menu??

Hi Microsoft -
I normally don't rant, but this is a killer feature removal, and the reason given is for aesthetics - 'Removal of clutter" is how it's worded here:
[Changes in Office 2013]
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178954(en-us).aspx
I copy n pasted below the operative row from the linked TechNet page as to the reason WHY this critical (and very popular feature) has been removed from Microsoft Office 2013 Word's context-menu: LESS CLUTTER
And your answer is ambiguous and doesn't solve the issue that you created to make things prettier: "Click the AutoCorrect Options button" Then what? ADD EACH WORD MANUALLY?
Please advise ALL OF US that want this feature back how to have our commonly misspelled words fixed and added automatically to the dictionary. If I am missing this in a major way somehow, I apologize completely and will issue a public apology via any
social media platform of your choice. If it really is gone, and I have to manually add the entries into a buried table 6-clicks deep, then I will issue a public excoriation of this feature on as many social platforms of my choice.
Sincerely,
Maximus Mednick
COPY N PASTE AS FOLLOWS:

Contents of spelling error context menu
Word and WordMail within Outlook
Modifying the feature
Auto-Correct and certain formatting tools are no longer available from the spelling error context menu.
To make Word 2013 cleaner and less cluttered, we removed AutoCorrect and certain formatting tools from the spelling error context menu. The features are still available in Word 2013 through other entry points within the Word user interface.
Less clutter in the spelling error context menu. This enables users to find popular commands more quickly. In addition, the spelling error context menu now fits better on the screen.
To change AutoCorrect options, do the following:
Choose File -> Options -> Proofing
Choose the AutoCorrect Options button.

Thanks, MAXIMUS

Microsoft used to be about allowing users to customize the OS and apps however they want. This was one reason I have always preferred Windows over Mac. There are 5 ways to do any one thing, and you can customize it to do it however you want. It's all about
user choice. Please don't go the way of Apple and force users into the way that you *think* we should do things.
<rant>
While I whole heartedly agree with this suggestion, if you look through this blog about the design decisions that went into the 2007 ribbon:
Jensen Harris: An Office User Interface Blog -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jensenh/archive/2008/03/12/table-of-contents.aspx
You'll see that one of the considerations of the ribbon was to ELIMINATE/REDUCE customization because it was costing large corporate customers too much time/money to support their users with 2003 customized menu/toolbars. In other words, the ribbon
was intentionally built as a fixed design so that average user cannot change it. The QAT was an afterthought, a sop, to allow users minimal customization.
They found that the 2007 lock down was too much of a "good thing", too much like the good old "IBM 360 green screen" (even if most people don't recognize the reference), so in 2010 they
re-introduced limited Ribbon customization within the UI.
But you still can't customize the default tabs. And to add injury to insult, if you do want to customize a default tab and go to the effort of trying to recreate the default tabs and groups
within the Ribbon UI, you'll eventually find that YOU CAN'T'! There is no way inside the UI to force the buttons to layout the same way! AHHH!
Even in 2007,
EXPERTS have had the option of creating custom Ribbons/tabs by editing XML, but that is pretty serious programming, out of scope for 99% of users.
The "solution" to the problem was too simple. Just add an option to allow users to turn on the old menu UI. Even if it had been buried as a registry hack, the people who really wanted it would have learned about it. Then MS could have collected statistics
on usage that would have "proved" that the menu was preferred over the ribbon. The thing is, if the ribbon was defaulted "out of the box", over time people would eventually all switch over to it. Simply because it was the default, because MS only produced
new training material referring for the ribbon
Now, I'll concede that the ribbon really may be more "intuitive", but only for new users. For long time users the change is very jarring.
They made the same choice with Windows 8. In the last Windows 8 consumer Preview there was a registry hack to bypass the Start Screen. I learned about it in July or August. But MS was so sure the Start screen/metro was the only way to go they
rushed out a Windows Update to eliminate that registry entry. And it was eliminated from the RTM version.
WHY?
Why did they remove the user's right to chose the UI that worked best for them? I don't know.
</end rant> sorry, this is a hot button for me.

When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly. Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone. After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC. It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library.
Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
Thanks!!

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Why did it crash ???
