Win7,latest update, freezes after launch

I "updated" to latest iTunes for Win7...installed OK but now freezes after loading. Have to go to Task Manager to end the session. Any workaround? The software worked well before the "update"--my mistake in downloading the new version.

I have decided that I will propably skip the 1.4-update, since I don't need podcasting and I don't buy music from ITMS. But I need an older Updater for Windows. Apple's site only offers the latest version, and it has already been demonstrated that it does not work for me (for some reason). Is there a place where I could download older versions of the updater?

If you get a network timed out error, try disabling the security software on the computer during the download and install.
You can also try a direct download andinstall by:

Muse freezes after launch Mac OS

I'm using Mac OS Mavericks. It worked yesterday before shut down. Today, when I launched my Muse site, Muse freezes after the Site Map is displayed when I try to edit text on a page. I searched the forums and there was a similar problem last year, but I'm using the current version. I tried disconnecting the network, disabling Typekit, renaming the preferences folder. But, these did not work. Suggestions please. Thanks.

I think I've isolated the problem to text editing: Muse freezes when editing text. I can perform other functions, such as placing graphics, but when I try the use the text tool, Muse freezes.

ITunes freezes after launching

iTunes version: 11.2.2
OS X 10.9.3
MacBook Pro Early 2011
Recently, iTunes has been freezing almost immediately after launching, irrespective of other applications running. The problem persists even in Safe Mode, and I have to Force Quit the application each time. Some times it runs fine for one song, but usually freezes immediately (not responding with spinning pinwheel).
What are the troubleshooting steps for this issue? Restarting my computer has not resolved the issue.

Plasma Prestige! Success! iPhone was recognized immediately and is syncing presently. Thanks very much for your help!

After reading about your issue, I tried syncing my own iPhone and experienced the freeze as well. I scoured the Support Communities and finally stumbled across a solution. I am not sure if this fixes the problem permanently but it certainly fixed it for now.
1. Open the Finder
2. In the Menu Bar, click Go
3. While holding the 'Option' Key, select Library
4. Expand the Application Support folder
5. Expand SyncServices and delete the Local sync file
6. Restart the system
Plug in your iPhone after this and it should resolve the issue. Let me know if it works.

My iPhone 4s on the latest update freezes even after a full restore.. is it gone?

At first, my iPhone 4s completely froze and I was unable to turn it on (even after holding power/home button--the apple logo would come on and then it would just turn off). I wasn't able to get it into restore or DFU mode. After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on. If I unplug the phone and then hold down the power and home buttons for about 20 seconds, it restarts and shows the apple logo and shows the initial lock screen. If I let it scroll through the different languages for the "slide to unlock" text, it gets to what looks like japanese or chinese and then freezes. I then have to hold power+home again to restart it. If I slide it immediately when it shows up, it initially froze right away--but after another restart, it worked. I then am able to set it up and get to the wall of apps screen. From there, the phone worked for about half a day and then it froze up again (black screen, couldn't wake it up, stuck at apple logo and then just turns off).
I then was able to restore it AGAIN (on my own personal computer with a fresh install of itunes, I'm doing this for a friend) but the same symptoms persist--it will freeze if I don't unlock it right away, it freezes once when I unlock it right away, and after another restart, it gets through setup and to the wall of apps. The first time I set it to restore from iCloud and re-installed all of her apps. This time, I signed in with her Apple ID and enabled iCloud but did not download any of her old apps. When I go to the apple store, under featured and top apps its just a blank white screen but when I search for an app it does show results. As of right now (30 minutes after restore) it IS working, but it worries me that the same bugs happened after a restore. I feel it's only a matter of hours before the phone freezes up again and requires a restore.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old). Help keep an iPhone fan! Do these problems sound familiar to anyone? I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it--I just wanted to get some opinions on if this phone is even worth working on more than I already have since the issues remain even after multiple full restores.
Any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the wall of text.

Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.

After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.

Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

CC Photoshop Freezes after launch

Hello,
I am installed Photoshop and Indesign on my MacPro with 10.7.5 (Lion) though Creative Cloud and after I installed everything and launch the apps, it freezes up my computer and I cannot force quit. I have to do hard restart. I have used CC on this machine before but I just reformatted the drive and did a clean install of everything. I read all the forums and even tried to hold the Command + Option + Shift keys while launching photoshop, and nothing has worked. I was able to install Acrobat just fine but Photoshop and Indesign are the two main programs I use. Anyone have suggestions?
Thank you

Have you had any luck with this? I've been experiencing the same since Creative Cloud started... happens with all creative cloud apps. I removed the creative cloud desktop app as that was the most troublesome and would often hang everything after waking from sleep. Helped a little but waking from sleep still creates the issue and I have to restart the computer. If I do get an app working and I go to update through the help menu, that app hangs. I've read in other discussions that you need to change the user (which is ******** and very time consuming) but like an idiot I did that and... surprise, suprise, same problem. Never seen adobe come back on this one.

HP Photosmart Studio freezes after launch

Does anyone else have a problem with HP Photosmart Studio freezing/not responding as soon as it is launched?
I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro running 10.5.5, though the problem has been the same since 10.5.1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest software from the HP web site, deleted preference files, repaired permissions etc but the problem remains.
Any help would be welcome.

I can confirm that I, too, am encountering problems with HP Photosmart Studio (version 9.6.9) that is mystifying me. I spent about 10 hours trying to figure out the problem, but I did not come up with any solution.
I have not yet explored all of the HP software features that came with my HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, which so far seems to be a very fine machine that has delivered full functionality in printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. The one feature that does not seem to be functioning properly has to do with scanning a JPG image to the HP Photosmart Studio. Every time I've tried to do that, I get the same result: the image gets scanned OK and is deposited into a folder called "Scanner Output." That part is good. However, whenever the Photosmart Studio application is launched—either as part of the scanning process, or if I just launch it independently of triggering a scan via the HP Device Manager—the Studio application delivers a spinning sundial gauge next to the "Keywords Album" item for about 30 seconds, which is the followed by the spinning beach ball, indicating that the application is not responding. I must Force Quit it.
That is what has happened since I first installed the HP software on my PowerMac G4 running Tiger, 10.4.11. Uninstalling the HP software and reinstalling it does not fix the problem. The thing that mystifies me is that I cannot discern if the problem lies solely within the HP software or if there is something wrong with Tiger on my PowerMac G4. The reason I say that is that, in order to isolate the problem, I ran comparative tests of the same, freshly reinstalled HP Photosmart Studio on an iMac G5 running Tiger 104.11, and I did not have problem getting a stable Photosmart Studio window to appear. The same spinning sundial gauge appeared, and it spun for awhile, but it eventually disappeared and the application became functional, unlike on my G4, when the spinning beach ball appeared.
Additionally, back on my PowerMac G4, which also has partitions running Panther and Leopard, the HP Photosmart Studio application, which resides on the Tiger volume, loaded OK when I re-started the G4 under Panther and Leopard. However, I do not consider that a solution, since I could see no way that I could access images that were not on the startup drive.
I wish I could say definitively whether or not the problem lay within the HP Photosmart Studio component of the quite extensive software package that came with the All-in-One, or whether there may be something amiss, or incompatible, with the Mac OS. But all of my tests thus far do not allow me to reach any definite conclusion. As you requested, it would be nice to know from others if this software application works or not with the Mac OS. For me, I guess I am just going to have to work around that particular feature, at least on the Tiger volume on my PowerMac G4. Strange, though, isn't it?

New iTunes freezing after launch, what's going on?

After downloading the new iTunes with no problem, I've discovered that after a few seconds the programme freezes from any action. It's really starting to do my head in right now. Everything was going fine, I was downloading iOS 5 when it decided to lose connection, I tried again and same thing. After that, the problem with iTunes it self occured.
After spending a whole HOUR trying to get to the point of asking this question I am seriously fed up with this. Apple has well and truely messed up any chance of trying to persuade Blackberry users that the iPod is better since the whole update is causing more problems than what it's fixing.
If anyone can help find a "cure" for this freezing, I'd be extremely grateful. Thankfully my iPod didn't get wiped during the whole problem even though it was trying to sync at the time and then black screened for five minutes before coming to life again.

CC applications freezing after launch

I am trying to find a solution for a long time and cannot find one. I got a new laptop in April. CS6 would not work (AE and PSD). I spent some time in April with a person on the phone at Adobe, but to no avail. It would not launch. I figured it would be fixed in CC so I waited (my older laptop still has CS5, I could still use that.) Still no luck. I reinstalled Mavericks (10.9.4) re-installed the Creative Cloud applications on the new computer. Now they appear to Launch but both get locked up after it opens. Beachball. Have to force quit. I don't know what else to do. The website suggested I find Arial MT and delete that font. That is not on my computer. Can anyone make a recommendation? I also found this link, and that did not improve anything. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396
Thank you.
David

Hi dliban2000,
I apologize for the inconvenience, could you provide any case # so that we can look into it and help you further?
Meanwhile, I would suggest to try : Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software
restart the machine.
Quit time machine all the third party services/software eg. antivirus, dropbox, growl, etc.
Re-launch creative cloud.
Thanks,
Atul Saini

Why does Firefox automatically install it's latest update, even after I've spent months clicking the 'no' button whenever I've been asked to update?

For months Firefox has been providing me with a little dialogue box asking whether I want to update to the latest version. This has been annoying, but each time I have politely clicked the button saying that 'no, I do not wish to update at this time', allowing me to get on with my day using my preferred version of Firefox. However, just moments ago when I most recently opened my Firefox browser, a simple look at the tabs told me that Firefox had updated itself without my permission (something which has happened in the past and really ticks me off). Whenever this problem has presented itself to me in the past, however, I have simply been able to go onto the Firefox website and download my old version. When I tried doing that this time around however, I somehow keep getting stuck with the latest version, which is extremely rankling and the sole reason for my complaint. If Firefox would just stop inviting it's new versions onto my computer whenever it felt like it, I wouldn't be seriously inconvenienced whenever I felt like browsing the internet. It also seems to be harder to find the old versions of Firefox than it used to be, as I am having a devil of a time trying to find my old version (though that may just be me). Frankly, if Firefox would just stop automatically updating itself, it would save me a lot of unnecessary stress and hassle.

if i have to read any comment by matt n again i will throw up...in my mouth. i have gone all over google trying to figure out what the f ff did to me without my permission, i have updates turned off so there should be no prompting to restart, there should be a polite offer not a forced update. i am angry and so are a ton of people.
everytime i go to a new complaint, another angry fellow ff user there is matt n with his infuriating smiling little picture...telling me about the awesome safety and security of the new ff...ignoring that a supposed safe but ugly and unusable browser is worse than a customized, beautiful, well functioning browser...with supposed safety issues. i am so angry i cannot express how this has wasted my time. i have been online for 2 hours now figuring out how to fix, apparently i cannot. my old theme is not compatible now...so i am screwed.
good bye. if i wanted chrome i would have had chrome. but i have no choice now.

App updates freeze after iOS 6 installation?

After installing IOS 6 on my iPad, I got a message to upgrade 13 apps. I hit install all, at which point all the apps to be upgraded froze, and have remained frozen for the past three days. I've tried resetting the iPad, but that doesn't work. If I delete the frozen app, and attempt to reload it I get the same frozen message that it's "installing." Any other ideas before I visit the Genius Bar?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
Note: You may need to do it a few times
