HT201272 why did my apps just stop opening and workng after i synced to my ne laptop and how do i get them to work??

most of my apps won't open after syncing to a new laptop why and how can I fix this?

If it's apps that you've downloaded from the App Store that you're having the problem with, and the Apple built-in apps are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

You could try syncing the contacts with yahoo or google contacts, then sync them to the iPhone. Or, export the contacts and then import them into one of the aforementioned servicse, or iCloud, then sync to the phone.

HT203171 Magic Trackpad fail. It keeps clicking, sticking, selecting everything to the point of unusability. I'm lucky I have my old "mighty" mouse as a back up. SO annoyed right now. What gives anyways? Why did the trackpad just stop working all of a sud

It's bugging me so bad.
I loved everything about it too, the swiping, gestures and everything are so intuitive. Now, no more thatn 20 minutes ago it just goes crazy. Rebooted the computer. Changed the batteries. Disconnected and reconnected everything. ARGGGGGG.
So lucky I kept an old wireless Might Mouse around, but it feels like being stuck in the past.
Now I'm really upset.
OK, so that was mostly a rant, but man, I'm really ticked. My productivity has gone down in half! I was very acustomed to the trackpad by now - 1 year after purchasing my iMac... and conveniently AFTER the warranty. Those things are like $70!!!
So far there doesn't seem to be a solution. I know it's not a battery or anything - the trackpad is separate from the computer. Tried cleaning the trackpad several times, and no effect.
Please help -
Thanks,

Forget everything I wrote about bluetooth device interference having anything to do with this issue. I was obviously headed down a rabbit trail with this suggestion.
What I've since determined (that is working for me) is to focus in on the small round bumpers on the backside of the trackpad. I suspect that over time these probably loosen and become more sensitive or even stuck. This might explain the auto-selecting in the erratic behavior of the trackpad.
As a workaround, I used a felt cloth (folded several times) to elevate the backside of the trackpad so that the bumpers no longer touch my desk. This takes a loose or stuck bumper switch out of the picture. Then I enabled the trackpad features for "Tap to click" and "Secondary click," which are located at: System Preference > Trackpad > Point & Click.
Only if you have serious computer repair skills would I advise attempting to adjust the sensitivy of the bumper switch: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+Magic+Trackpad+Click+Feature/6171/1
As for myself, I'll be purchasing a new trackpad tomorrow morning. I love this device, but it seems that once the bumpers begin to wear out, they do so quite abruptly, and your best course is to get a replacement before pulling out any hair you still have left.
Again, my apologies about the mis-cue on the bluetooth issue. Good luck!

NEED HELP ITUNES FREEZES WHEN OPENED PLEASE HELP

hello all
whenever i open itunes on my macbook, the loading pinwheel comes up and doesn't go away until i quit itunes or turn off my computer. my itunes will 'freeze' whenever i open it and will not let me play songs or anything. please help me!

There are a lot of things that could cause this and your songs are rarely in jeopardy when the issue is iTunes so don't worry.
If you could give us your iTunes version number, and the OS version you currently have those would help narrow a little.
Did you install or change anything around the time that this started happening?
Also explain exactly what happens. does the itunes window open than hangs with pinwheel or does the application bounce like it's going to open then hang instead.
I would, even if just for good maintenance, repair permissions by going to your utilities folder opening Disc Utility selecting your HD from the left and clicking verify disc permissions. Also make a new user to test to see if iTunes opens there, if it works in a new user it's an issue with one of your user specific files, and there would be much less to sort through.
More info will help a lot in figuring out whats going on.

ITunes fails to open: please help

Please could someone help me?
Up until yesterday, iTunes was working fine. But then, after I had downloaded some new songs, first it kept saying that my ipod had been removed from the usb port without being ejected (but it was actually still connected to the computer at all times, and I had just left it alone). Then it recommended that I restore my ipod to factory settings, which I did.
Then iTunes quit, and wouldn't open: the icon just bounces once and then returns to normal, with no arrow under it. This happens regardless of whether I left-click or right-click-and-select-open. I ejected and re-connected the ipod three times, restarted the computer twice, and finally tried to download the newest version of iTunes twice to fix it - it seemed to download successfully, but iTunes still wouldn't open. I then retried restarting it and disconnecting the ipod, with no success. I then tried creating another user account on the mac and starting up iTunes - still no luck. I've checked all the settings I can think of and still can't find anything. No files which need iTunes to function can be opened - I can access no aspect of itunes. (On the plus side, my music files are still stored on my computer, although I still can't access them.)
I have also had my ipod checked and there is no problem with it.
If anyone has a solution, or can think of anything I've missed that just might work, please say: I'm really stuck here.

It is fixed! To inform anyone else with the same problem:
I contacted apple and, according to them, downloading the latest version of iTunes fixed the problem with iTunes but created a compatibility issue - to fix the whole thing, I also had to download a system update to at least version 10.4.11. I did this and it works fine now.

Itunes won't open please help!!!!!!

Please help me I installed my itunes and quicktime, but the itunes wont open. I tried redownloading itunes and I even tried to install an older version of quicktime. It opened than but wouldn't work said that I needed to have the updated version. So I reinstalled the updated versions. And again it just gives me the hour glass symbol than nothing. I do not have norton and no other programs will interfer with it. Can someone please help me?

Hey jimmymohawk,
What is the exact error message? Is it saying that Quicktime needs to updated?
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 should help you get iTunes installed sucessfully. Quicktime will have to be uninstalled, you may have to use the part of the article "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer," then iTunes can be repaired or reinstalled.

My Itunes will not open, please help

I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open. I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
My PC is running Windows 7. I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
One error I seem to have caught is as follows:
Problem Event Name     BEX
Application     itunes.exe
Version     10.7.0.21
timestamp     504d85d9
Fault Module Name Quicktime.qts_unloaded
Fault Module Version     0.0.0.0.
If someone has some suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

TS1717 iTunes will not open- please help!

My iTunes will not open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same message keeps showing up when I try to open iTunes. The error reads "C\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
Please Help!!!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

ITunes freezes when opening, please help

Whenever I try to open my iTunes it starts by "updating" my library, then it either freezes halfway through that or it freezes about 2 seconds later. I've tried to figure it out but nothing I try has been working. I've noticed that iTunes is trying to download a podcast right after but I don't know if that's the problem. I've tried to unsubscribe to the specific podcast but I can't get to it in time before it freezes. please help me

Hi
I had the same and I feel that your library is corrupted. Don’t be afraid since I could repair the iTunes following the next steps:
A) Recreate the library:
Follow these steps:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder.
 For Mac OS X the iTunes folder is stored in one of the following locations:
/Users/username/Music
 For Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 the iTunes folder is stored in
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
 For Microsoft Windows Vista the iTunes folder is stored in
\Users\username\Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the iTunes Music Library.xml to the Desktop
5. Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:
 Microsoft Windows: "iTunes Library.itl"
6. Open iTunes.
7. From the File menu, choose Import.
8. Navigate to the iTunes Music Library.xml file on the Desktop.
9. Windows users: Click Open.
Moreover you should follow the next steps.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Move the iTunes Library file located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes to your desktop
3. Open iTunes.
4. From the File menu, choose Add Folder to Library.
Navigate to the folder where your music is located. Typically this is
C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
In this way I could repair the iTunes 7.2. I apologize for my poor English and I hope to be of help for you.

ITunes just stopped working. HELP.

I have the latest version and have had no problems until today. When I opened iTunes it looked like it was installing something, then give me unknown error 200 and says it can't open.
HELP.
The only things I can think that might have messed with iTunes is the fact that I recently installed GearPlayer (a transcription program) and an audio conversion program. Perhaps one of those did something with my audio settings. Any hints on how to find out? I'm home after surgery and need my iTunes

DFU it is, then.
Plug the phone into a computer that is running the lates version of iTunes. The computer also needs uninterrupted access to the internet. Read through the instructions before starting the DFU. The process takes about ten minutes.
1. Once iTunes is up and running press and hold both the sleep/wake and home buttons - count to eight.
2. Let go of only the sleep/wake button - count to five.
3. Look at the computer. In a few seconds, you should see a popup. If nothing, look back at the iPhone.
If you see the Apple Logo, the DFU failed and it's doing a hard reset. From this point, you can let it finish the Hard Reset or you can re-attempt the DFU.
4. Follow the instructions on the iTunes popups. The warnings are telling you that all you information will be lost. If you consent to that data loss, then continue.

The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

I use Windows 7 and for some reason iTunes just stopped opening on my computer. Please help!!

I've exhaustively tried every method imaginable found in the Apple support forums, and nothing at all is working. I've uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and Quicktime, repaired Quicktime, opened iTunes in safe mode, tried creating a new user account on my computer, enabling hidden files to be shown, ending the iTunes process in ctrl + alt + delete, etc. Literally have tried everything, and NOTHING has worked. Sunday or Monday iTunes opened up fine, and now nothing. It's driving me nuts...can anyone maybe offer any tips that haven't been extensively covered in previous forums? As far as I know I didn't do anything differently to bring this on, so I am stumped :-(

I have had a few improper shutdowns, but I'd have my machine on for hours and still nothing happened. It also doesn't load if I plug my iPhone into the computer, which in the past has been an automatic load/sync on my computer. All I wanted to do is import a new album on my phone and instead I've run into a maelstrom of problems :-(
Thanks for the suggestions, b noir, and you and anyone else can feel free to keep 'em coming before they have to send someone to fit me for a straitjacket
