Wont open and message pops up

when i open up itunes i get the hour glass then it gos away then a long message pops up for about half a second and i dont know what it says. Quicktime does kind of the same thing except that it opens for half a second then closes.
  Windows XP  

Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • Firefox wont start "XPCOM" message pops up, need my user and passwords!!??

    My window 7 wasn't starting up properly so I did a system restore and now firefox wont start a message pops up stating "XPCOM" and I googled it and everything is telling to reinstall Firefox. I don't wont to reinstall it just yet because I need my passwords and username back. I cant find a solution on the forums either, or if there is I haven't found it or I simply didn't understood the solution itself. Please get back to me asap
    thank you!

    This usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    Hi,
    If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using%20extensions%20with%20Firefox Using extensions]

    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Customizing%20Firefox%20with%20add-ons Customizing Firefox]
    On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may have to uninstall it via the Windows OS Control Panel, or via the browsers concerned. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows support] would be helpful.

  • Quicktime wont open and is also preventing microsoft apps from opening

    after doing an autoupdate to QT 7.2, there is a "shared library error" that prevents me from opening word, entourage... i have tried to fix this, but its made it worse and now the QT wont run either. is there a way that i can uninstall all the QT on my hard drive and reinstall from scratch? and will this fix the shared library problem?
    when i look to see what version QT i have it says 7.3, but it wont open and i have also try to download it again and that doesnt work either.
    I appreciate any help you can give! M
    on my console.log i get this message:
    launch failed with error code -2804 (cfragNoLibraryErr) for application -psn04849665\n
    when i try and open the application, i get this message:
    The application "Entourage" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "C<Microsoft Entourage><Apple;Carbon;Multimedia><CFMPriv_QuickTime>"

    Thanks baby boomer I did get the CD out.
    Now, when I switch-ON my mac with the installation disc-1 (that originally came with the computer) in it, it takes me to the basic installation window. This further leads to the same issue I mentioned in my earlier post...that is when I get to the "Select a destination volume to install the Mac OS X software" screen, there's no destination listed to select. Earlier there was "Macintosh HD" but now there's nothing.
    While I was exploring my options at this time, I clicked on "Disk Utility" under the "utilities" tab on top of the screen. This took me to the disk utility window that had four discs listed in the left-hand column of the window. These were: 74.5 GB TOSHIBA MK8026GAX, Macintosh HD (in light grey colour which shows that it is inactive), 4.0 GB MATSHITA DVD-R Uj-845E Media and the Mac OS X Install Disc 1.
    Under the "First Aid" tab I selected 74.5 GB TOSHIBA MK8026GAX and clicked "verify". It gave an error message:"Invalid node structure. The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired. The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS Checked Volume needs repair."
    Then I selected Macintosh HD & selected "repair" only to find the following error message:
    Invaild node structure. Rebuilding Catalogue B-tree. The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS volume checked. 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error. Repair attempted on 1 volume. 1 volume could not be repaired.
    The other two icons "Verify disk permissios" & "Repair disk permissions" were inactive all the time.
    I even clicked on "Mount" when the "Macintosh HD" was selected. That gave the following message: "The disk Macintosh HD could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
    I don't know what's happening, do you have any idea?
    Please suggest something, thanks.

    If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
    HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
    HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
