Windows/iTunes not getting along

Okay, so the iTunes icon has officially gone away, and anytime I want to open up my library I have to go
Start>Search>iTunes>iTunes Library
and then double click that, otherwise windows wants to configure and have me locate iTunes for it.
Dell 8250 Windows XP

the feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the insallation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

New hard drive and itunes not getting along

I purchases a new external hard drive for my i mac dv 400. the hard drive was getting too full. I need to put itunes on the new hard drive but during install it tells me that i tunes needs to be in the start up volume. what does this mean? is it still possible to get the bulk of itunes on the new drive. or am I stuck again

Hopefully someone there can help me with this problem which is related to backing up using external hard drives and two MACs. I back up using my Laptop and G5 by periodically copying the most up to date Itunes library to the other one. I use the external hard drive to copy them back and forth while at the same time, having a 3rd copy. However, everytime I do this, when I go to play a "purchased" song from my purchased songs in the library, I get the message that this is the 2nd and then 3rd and the 4th....computer I am downloading to and I only have 5 allowable downloads. Evidently, Itunes is not recognizing that this is a same computer that I have been using as a back up. Hopefully this problem is clear to those of you reading this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Compiz, GTK window decorator not getting along with metacity

Hello,
Today gtk-window-decorator managed to break on my machine, resulting in no window decorations. I'm using emerald as a temporary solution, but I'd prefer to go back to gtk-window-decorator if possible. When I start compiz, the following occurs:
gtk-window-decorator: error while loading shared libraries: libmetacity-private.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found some posts that suggested using metacity2 instead of metacity, but I'm using compiz-bzr from the AUR which lists metacity as a dependency which conflicts with metacity2. I tried downgrading metacity, but that didn't help. I'm not entirely sure where to go from here.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help!
Installing the stable version of compiz got gtk-window-decorator working again, but now I have no minimize or maximize buttons on any gtk theme (only a close button), and gtk-window-decorator throws me
(gtk-window-decorator:23942): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type '(null)' in cast to 'WnckWindow'
gtk-window-decorator: Ignoring unknown or already-used button name "appmenu"
EDIT: This problem was solved by running
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize,close'"
for future reference to anyone who stumbles across this post. Thanks again for the help!

While updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored

while updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored please help

Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
4. Allow iPhone to reboot;
If you are still unable to get the phone to power on, charge, or connect to iTunes; it could possibly require service. (hardware replacement)

Safari and yahoo mail not getting along

Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month

Hi powerbook1701!
It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

Windows will not get a DHCP address from my OS X Server

Is there a trick I need to do to get my windows machines to get and address from my OS X Server?

i have had the same issue. Windows clients (XP, 2003, 7) just could not receive an address from the dhcp server.
I think i got it solved by removing an invalid line in my dhcp server config file.
This is what i did:
stop dhcp server
open /etc/bootpd.plist (you need admin rights to edit)
remove the following two lines:
<key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
<string></string>
save file
start dhcp server again
alternatively, you can fill the dhcp_domain_name with a valid domain name suffix. Both options seem to have worked just fine for me.
<key>dhcp_domain_name</key>
<string>whatever.mydomain.com</string>
Tips:
I am using Sublime Text for such tasks. It asks for administrator password when trying to save the file, much more convinient than trying to use TextEdit
To get to the /etc directory from your favorite text editor easily: Go to the standard open file dialog. Press Cmd+Shift+G. Type /etc and press enter
also see the official documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/bootpd.8.html
dhcp_domain_name
The default DNS domain name (option code 15). If this property is not
present, the server will supply its own default domain name (if available).

Keychain and gpg-agent not getting along

I have a problem with gpg-agent. I have been using the Funtoo keychain tool for a while, for my SSH keys exclusively. Works flawlessly - I log in, I call keychain, I type in my passphrases, and it caches my keys. Never get prompted for a passphrase during SSH connection attempts.
GPG is a different story. I have a GPG key, and I occasionally en- and decrypt files with it. So far so good. I also found out how to get keychain to cache the GPG key. It also picks up my gpg-agent, which is started as per the wiki entry (except that instead of putting it systemwide in /etc/profile.d, I put it in Openbox's ~/.config/openbox/environment file, which is where the SSH agent stuff is supposed to go as well.
Gpg-agent seemingly launches fine, it exports its environment variables just fine:
$ echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/tmp/gpg-3faT29/S.gpg-agent:2352:1
$ cat .gnupg/gpg-agent.env
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-3faT29/S.gpg-agent:2352:1
There's only one gpg-agent process running:
$ ps aux|grep gpg-agent
luser 2352 0.0 0.0 16252 1184 ? Ss 00:00 0:00 gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file /home/stijn/.gnupg/gpg-agent.env
luser 3411 0.0 0.0 9276 1016 pts/0 S+ 00:16 0:00 grep gpg-agent
Keychain picks that up as well:
$ keychain --eval
* keychain 2.7.1 ~ http://www.funtoo.org
* Found existing ssh-agent: 2346
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-YhDgORoL2345/agent.2345; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=2346; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
* Found existing gpg-agent: 2352
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-3faT29/S.gpg-agent:2352:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-amalthea
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-athena
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-zeus
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-mnemosyne
* Known gpg key: [8 digit hex key]
However, when I open Mutt (or just try to decrypt about any GPG encrypted file), it will prompt me for the passphrase, despite the key already being cached. Passing --use-agent does not help (I also set that in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf).
The bizarre thing being, of course, that the keychain-cached key did not get picked up, but if I enter my passphrase into the prompt I get the first time I call gpg, it does seem to get cached - I can open mutt, decrypt files, etc., it will all use that cached key.
Any tips? I get the feeling I'm missing something, but couldn't find what exactly.
Last edited by .:B:. (2011-12-06 22:25:27)

Gpg-agent by itself works fine, although I get the feeling that, a bit like sudo, there's an expiration date on the cached key - it seems I need to type the passphrase again after a few hours or so.
Either way, I'd love to get this working with keychain.

Parts of the window do not get repainted

I have problem with part of the window which is occupied by panels that have a graphical content to display like graphs and strings. This content is created dynamically, it always changes depending on the values of different textfields, scrollbars, etc. For each graph (and I may have up to 5 of them visible) I have a class which extends JPanel with paintComponent() method displaying info needed for the graph, like tick values, and then in the middle of these panel I place another panel where actual graph is drawn (paintComponent() again). I have numerous problems with this part of the window, when it gets obscured by anything like other window, dialog, tooltip - in that case, nothing gets repainted automatically, rather the portion of the graph just dissappears, until I do some action which has an internal call to repaint(). The problem exists only for these panels, other parts of the window work fine.
Any ideas of why it might happen?

Is it just the one central panel that does this? If so you can load it into a test app and start tracking down the trouble. If it is more than one of the five panels... try making a test app you can show us.
I usually think of super.paintComponent(g) and the opacity property with this kind of trouble. Proper use of super.paintComponent will take care of the automatic repainting. If you setOpaque(false) then you'll have to handle the repainting yourself.
The other area to look through is your event handling, especially scheduling. And the possibility of the need to call revalidate or validate on your panel(s).

ITunes 7.1 and Norton Anti-virus do not get along!

Sounds like Itunes 7.1 is causing hella problems for everyone out there. Add me to the list. My Itunes works, my library is there, but this update, unlike every previous update Itunes has done, is not recognized by Norton Antivirus. Every 2-3 seconds I get an Internet Worm Protection Notice about Itunes, asking me if I want to allow it access. I of course say yes.....and then the same window pops up again. Extremely annoying.... I've also lost the ability to view other people's libraries over my local area network...not cool.
Any suggestions of what I can do within either Itunes or Norton Antivirus (2005....all latest updates) to regain my sanity?
HP Pavillion Windows XP

i'm with CoJeff on this one.
typically it's the firewall with NIS 2005 (or standalone Norton Personal Firewall) that causes grief with iTunes. (we've had these issues dating back to the iTunes 4.8 days with NIS 2005), but every now and then i see reports of that worm protection feature causing grief in similar ways.
the amount of reports of problems with NIS 2006 and 2007 are literally a couple of orders of magnitude less than with NIS 2005. so it may be worth just upgrading to one of the more recent versions.
... if you'd prefer to stick with your 2005, though, let us know and we can try running through a few of techniques we've used to deal with this.

Gmail and Mavericks are not getting along.

Gmail used to work so nicely with iMail, but ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, things started going all screwy. I know that Apple released an update for the problem, but that hasn't worked.
I checked for other software updates and there are no new ones. Everything is up to date.
I have been able to zero in on the problem: Incoming emails are not an issue. They show up on all devices. I if open an email on Mail and delete it, it syncs with the other devices as well.
The problem stems from what I do if the email is opened or deleted on a different device. Thats when Mail on the Mac won’t sync. It will still show the email with the blue icon showing it’s new and unopened, and it will stay in the inbox even if I sent it to trash anywhere else.
Has anyone else run in to this problem, and if so, have you been able to fix it?
All help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Its really depends what kind of computer your using, is it old? If you are using a PC, in some cases it really does matter which port you plug your ipod into. Try every port (cept for back ones).
Its weird because people usually see this when they Jailbreak their ipod and try to upgrade it, you get bricked by the new software which supposedly locks hacked components of the ipod, but since its happening to your nano too, then its either itunes or its the computer.
If you are on a PC look in my computer and see if your ipod comes up when you plug it in. It should just come up in the window for a miminal amount of time. If it does then its your itunes.
What kind of question is that? always download new versions! they can contain vital information for your ipod.

Apps updated on PC in iTunes not getting transferred to iPhone or iPad--problem solved!

Ever since iTunes 11 came out the apps that I updated thorugh the iTunes store on my PC were not being transferred automatically to my Iphone or iPad during the syncs; my devices would still show the red number next to the App Store app, indicating there were updated apps yet to be updated on the device.
I tried to solve this via Googling the problem, but solutions I found (reinstall the app, or click on "check for available downloads") were not useful.
So I called Apple tech support, and a Senior Advisor told me what to do: after updating the apps on my PC and connecting my device to my PC, click on the device on the left had column to highlight it, then click on the Apps tab. Most of the apps will display as either Install or Remove, but the just updated ones will say Update. Click on that option, then either Apply or Sync.

I found out where the problem is. For whatever reason, after I reinstall the Windows and Itunes, the "Automatically install new apps" checkbox is unchecked. I checked it and now it will auto sync the apps from itunes to the iphone now.
