Why won't iTunes won't open on mac mini?

Recently installed 2 gigs memory in my 2007 mac mini, wiped the hard drive, and installed OS x 10.6.4.( done at the apple store ) iTunes icon appears in applications but won't open when clicked. Help. I'm an old guy and not very computer savvy

You do not have to load the airport utility.. a newer version is already included on the computer.
Just go to the applications / utility directory and start airport utility.

Why can't iTune Apps download to my Mac Mini and MacBookPro?

Why can't iTune Apps download to my Mac Mini and MacBookPro?

Because those App's are for iDevices like iPad's and iPhone's.
For Mac App's, you need to go to the > Mac App Store.

Why no 1080p HD video on macbook pro/mac mini from itunes store?

Why can't you play 1080p video on a macbook pro or mac mini? This means you have to sync files which are over 1GB in size one at a time to the new ipad just to view them and this takes a long time. When at home, I use itunes via a macbook pro/mac mini for all my multi media connect to my TV, now I have GB's of files I cannot watch at home.
It kind of defeats the object, there is not enough space on an ipad to hold much HD content, certainly I will not be buying anymore HD video files from itunes for this reason. I am dissapointed to have wasted money on 1080p videos that I have to sync one at a time to a new ipad just to watch them. The new ipad screen is great but surely we need the option to watch 1080p HD video on out TV too? The crazy thing is that itunes/quicktime can easily handle 1080p video which is not from the itunes store so Apple must be deliberately restricting itunes bought 1080p HD video to the new ipad. One question.... why?

I use a 2010 MB to view my 1080 HD content from iTunes. It's connected to a 24" Samsung monitor. Plays back perfectly.
How old is your MBP? I have a 2008 black MB that handles 720HD content but stutters on 1080. It plays them but the picture isn't smooth as it should be.

Why do new hard drives keep failing in Mac Mini OSX Server?

Why new new hard drives keep failing in Mac Mini OSX server?

If it only failed in 8 days.. I just return the drives back to newegg and get a different brand like western digital. NewEgg has a 30 day return policy.
If you deal with any hard drive manufacturer now, they will give you a refurbished item and not a new item that you are entitled.
As for testing hardware....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
even if it still passed Apple tests.. it does not mean logicboard is fine..... it just means it passes the tests.
At this point, If i were you, I would just go back to NewEgg and send back the Seagates letting know they are bad and prefer a different brand such as Western Digital.
Install the Western Digitals and see how long they last. If they fail again in a a short amoung of time, it's the logicboard then.
This is based on experience in dealing with repairs with Macs, PCs, and other various kinds of Servers and computers over the last 10+ years.
In fact, One of my clients who has a Dual 4-core Intel Xeon Server with a Supermicro logicboard, one of their SATA drive ports are bad. Every 4 months like clock work the Mirror RAID Drive would degrade on that port. Then after figuring out that the drives are not necessary bad, I swapped to using another spare SATA port and since then no problems.

Why will my itunes icon not open, when I tap on it on my iphone?

For the last 5 days I have been unable to open my itunes app from my iphone. Everytime I tap on it, it will open for about 5 seconds then close completely out without an error message or anything. I tried resetting my phone, and powering it off and on, yet nothing is working. All of my other apps work just fine (including the App Store) but iTunes will not open at all. Is there anyone that can help me fix this? It be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Also try a Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If no joy...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

Netgear genie won't open on Mac mini.

I can no longer get netgear genie to open on my Mac mini. It'll install and say it installed correctly but when opening it it'll say it can't open on this type of Mac. A gives? It used to work. And talking to their support is pointless. I made my points insanely simple and they still had no grasp of what I was asking. I'm trying to enable the AirPrint from my iPhone/iPad to a printer hooked to my Mac mini. Any thoughts?

If your computer has got an Intel Core Duo processor, the only thing I understand is that the program only supports 64-bit processors, so you can't use that program. Also, you can use Printopia to print with AirPrint

Full iTunes window pops open when in mini-player mode?

Hi
I've noticed with the most recent version of iTunes in mini-player mode on my iMac, when I hover my mouse pointer downwards towards the dock, the full window springs open.
I'm not hovering near the iTunes icon, and the pointer doesn't hit the mini-player, so not sure why this is happening? No big issue, but it is pretty annoying! It's bit random, but seems to happen mainly with that downward motion of the mouse pointer.
Anyone else noticed this?? I'm on iTunes 11.0.4, OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac.
Thanks!
Ben

Judy, I searched around and found the post I pasted below; you can use your Spotlight searcher and see if you have the Quartz Composer Visualizer plugin in my 'internet plugins' in the library folder.

{{Thanks Limnos.
I had Repaired Permissions and Backed Up, not resorted to external booting.
The problem was found to be 2 iTunes plug-ins:
1. LEDSpectrumAnalyser.bundle

ITunes will not open on my mini iPad and then crashes

I have a mini iPad that I bought a year ago and have not had any problems till today, my iTunes will not open and then it crashes, all my other apps work exept for itunes and the music app, can someone help in this matter.
Eileen60

Try closing the iTunes store and Music app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if they work when you re-open them : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes and Music app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close them (you could also close other apps as they might be draining the battery), and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPod Touch 2g won't charge battery or sync to Mac Mini

Until yesterday charging and syncing worked normally. No changes or updates have been made to the touch or mini. Now it won't charge the battery or sync to iTunes.
I have tried the following:
1. Tried 3 different sync cords and all 4 usb ports on the Mac Mini (running OSX 10.5.6), no luck
2. Tried another iPod Touch 2g and an iphone 3g and no luck.
3. Tried the Touch on another computer we have, a cube, and all is well, works as it should.
4. Have restarted the Mini, no luck
5. Ran DiskWarrior on the Mini and all green, no red, i.e., mini ok.
6. Referring to 5. above, while running DiskWarrior (of course booted from a flash drive with mini system) the iPod Touch starting showing it was charging??? After returning to the main system, no charging.
7. To repeat, all worked as it should up until yesterday.
Thanks for any help

Since your USB ports appear to be working, the problem appears to be a communication issue between the touch and iTunes.
There is one piece of software that controls communications with iTunes and your touch/iPhone - Apple Mobile Device Services. The linked article discusses how to remove and reinstall it.

Why are filled fields blank when opening in Macs?

I can create a form in Acrobat, fill in the fields, enable it for Reader, put it online for downloading, and they view fine on a PC in the browser. However, when opened in Macs or the iPhone, the fields are blank. Anything special I should tell the customers so it works on a Mac? Right now I'm not sure what app they're using to view them.
Thanks,
Steve H

I just did a quick test. I opened the file in Acrobat. Reader, and Preview on the Mac. They all showed the field contents when initially viewed. When I made a change to a field in Preview and saved the file, the field contents do not display when subsequently opened in Acrobat/Reader. This is a well know bug in Preview. In short, Preview corrupts the fields, making the contents not visible. This can be partially corrected by exporting the form data to a file and reimporting, but is does not undo all damage. It does make the data visible, however. You can also run a script to effectively do the same thing.
What you should tell folks is not to use Preview to make changes. Instead, use Acrobat. Reader can make changes and then save the modified document if you apply usage rights to the document with Acrobat: Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader...

Opening A Mac Mini

I'm considering a Mac Mini. I'm going to an Apple store and asking should I get the 1.82 or 2.00 Ghz but it depens how fast the apps run anyway. But lets say I want to upgrade the RAM or somthing. Does it void the warrenty opening it up? And How i the world do you open it up?
Thanks,
Nick

You won't 'void' it just by opening, however if you break it, or if the components you install damage the machine etc..You won't be covered by warranty.
There are a bunch of guides available for upgrading:

HD movie from iTunes will not play on Mac Mini

Having bought an HD movie from iTunes I can not play it on my Mac Mini.
Just get audio and Grey and white grid. Controls are there but invisible. Why?
It will play on my Macbook Air?
I hve got no help from iTune support!
Thanks

I spoke to Apple Care today and they told me to reset the VIdeo Card preferences by re-starting the mini whilst holding down command/Alt/P/R until a second start tone sounded. It seemed to sort out my problem.
But the real reason why it worked was that I had plugged in a keyboard and was not controling the Mini using Screen sharing (via Macbook Air) as I normally do. As soon as I went back to screen sharing the movie would not play again.
So if you are playing movies on a mini don't control using screen sharing.
