Itunes crashing While launch on Windows PC [closed] - itunes

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.
Closed 9 years ago.
This is a little weird problem I use a windows 8 PC and after a recent upgrade to iTunes it started to fail on launch.
Looked in multiple forums but there is no help available even on apple online forums.
People have mentioned on these forums that Contacting Windows and Apple forums is not helping much as there is no response on this issue.
Of course its disheartening for loyal iTunes user like me.

I tried playing around with itunes in order to find this solution on this issue and i found that there are multiple reasons why this error could occur, There are multiple solutions to this problems:
Solution-1: (This Worked for me)
Open QuickTime
From QuickTime menu Go To "Edit -> Preferences ->
QuickTime Preferences"
Go To audio tab Check if Safe Mode
(waveout only) is selected.
Change this selection to Direct Sound
instead.
Apply changes. Relaunch ITunes.
Solution-2: (you loose all iTunes data in this approach)
1.Open iTunes library saved on your local drive in my case: "C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\"
2.Rename the ITunes folder to something else like iTunes old.
3.Relaunch iTunes.
Restoring iTunes Data: Copy and paste iTunes data manually, into newly created iTunes folder (Be selective here while selecting) and Relaunch iTunes.
Solution-3: (Read it on one of apple forums credits to actual owner who suggested this intresting fix)
Unplug your laptop from internet and ensure you are offline.
Launch iTunes [this time it does not crash :)]
Open Preferences (iTunes).
Go to parental preferences.
Enable checkbox iTunes store to disable access to iTunes store.
Reconnect & Relaunch to enjoy.
Will include more fixes as and when I am ready with posting of that till then happy ituning.

Several of my end users keep getting error 910 on play store

Several of my end users cannot install my app due to them getting the 910 error message. I have already tried asking them to delete their cache and other similar solutions I have found on several websites, none of them have been able to download my app after trying this. I was wondering if there is a chance this is a programming error on my part and if so what can I do?
I believe there is very little chance this is a programming error on your part. Unfortunately this is a pretty rare error code. There are a few things you can do if you have good communication with the users:
Find out what version of the Play Store they are on, and if it is not the latest encourage them to update
if they seem reasonably good at doing slightly technical things you could get them to take a bug report and then you contact Google Play developer support using the contact button on the help menu with that bug report.

Listen for Drive Mount Event / Notification [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Detect when a volume is mounted on OS X

Closed 8 years ago.
I'm very new when it comes to Mac OS development and have some experience with Objective C for iOS and need some help getting started on a new project. I need to create something that listens for a drive mount and then lists the files from the drive in a list on the app. Unfortunately, there seems to be very limited tutorials on the subject and I just need help getting this off the line.
I've heard limited things about NSWorkspace but haven't found any tutorials on how to use that.
Also, If it helps, I'm looking for a DICOM-specific filetype (.dcm).
You'll want to listen for the NSWorkspaceDidMountNotification notification, which is issued by the shared NSWorkspace's NSNotificationCenter.
This is pretty straightforward Cocoa stuff. These references may help:

Record editing session in eclipse

Is there any plugin that let us record the editing session in ECLIPSE?
Say for example I want to learn from the best programmer how he codes in Eclipse etc, and we can replay how he does stuffs.
There are quite a few tools which will record video from a computer monitor, but, seriously? You're not going to learn anything about programming from watching someone type.
It's not recording, but the eclipse communication framework allows you to link two editors together for pair programming. This is likely a better solution (pair programming) to what you seek than simply watching someone else's nervous keyboard ticks without the ongoing dialogue anyway.
There is nothing native to Eclipse allowing to record, and then replay, a full Eclipse editing session.
Even Macro recording (Bug 8519 - keystroke macros recording and playing capability) is one of the most upvoted (131 votes)... and still not planed 8 years later (2002-2010 at the time of this writing)
The alternatives are few and not mature. Even the official Eclipse Monkey proposal has been withdrawn.
Right now, the best way to record a tutorial and transfer some knowledge on a topic is:
Eclipse Cheat Sheet (since Eclipse3.2).
You can register a session that way:
(source: eclipse.org)
And download some recorded session like this one about API tooling setup.

I'm working on a Cocoa app targeting Leopard and above, and I'm thinking about adding a crash reporter to it (I'd like to think my app won't crash, but let's get real here). I have some mostly conceptual questions before I really get started.
1) How does this work conceptually, knowing when there's a crash and bringing up a reporter? Do I have a daemon running looking for a crash, or do I wait until my app is launched next time to report?
2) Can this be done in Cocoa? Or would I have to dip into Carbon or IOKit or somesuch?
3) Is this even a good idea? Mac OS X already has a built in crash reporter, but as a developer I don't get to see the crash logs. I don't think my app will be crashing often, frankly, but I just don't want to be naive but this sort of thing.
What are your thoughts and opinions regarding this?
I've had a lot of success with UKCrashReporter. The code is straighforward and easy to modify to match the L&F of your app.
PLCrashReporter looks interesting, though.
I'd stay away from Smart Crash Reporter just because many users (rightfully) don't appreciate your app injecting code into unexpected places and it strikes me as a fragile (perhaps dangerous to use in a released app) approach.
Others have answered the question well and pointed to some good example code.
Coding it yourself is fairly simple. The strategy generally is:
catch appropriate signals
launch a separate crash reporter app that lives inside your application's bundle
the crash reporter app then finds the latest crash log entry for your app and sends it to you via whatever method you desire (POST, email, etc)
I've also rolled my own: SFBCrashReporter
There is a small post on my blog about it.
I have seen a few apps use Smart Crash Reporter or perhaps some variant of it. When your application crashes, it will bring up the usual Apple crash dialog with an extra button which says "Send to both Apple and You"
I would shy away from Smart Crash Reporter for the single reason that it has a bad taste for a lot of users, and is a good way to get bad press for your app (deserved or not) PLCrashReporter or UKCrashReporter http://zathras.de/angelweb/sourcecode.htm they will give some ideas about what to do and how to do it in ways that don't inject into other code space.
Another option is Google's Breakpad. It has a Cocoa framework wrapper, and is compatible with Mozilla's Socorro server. It's used by Firefox, and the Cocoa framework is used in the current betas of Camino. The client-side integration is pretty easy, but I've never looked at what it takes to run an instance of the Socorro server.
I'm using ILCrashReporter and it works really nicely. The method is email based so it works well with Fogbugz.

I know this isn't strictly a programming question but y'all must have experienced this.
So...you have four or five RDP sessions open over the corp VPN, you're bashing away inside your favourite IDE, your VPN to the data centre bounces briefly then recovers, all your RDP sessions start re-establishing their connections and whilst doing so sequentially keep grabbing focus, one after the other. Pretty bloody annoying and downright rude.
Any idea how to prevent this behaviour and just make the RDP client flash it's taskbar button instead of totally grabbing focus away from whatever you were doing?
#Jason - thanks for the reply, I'm running 64 bit Vista and 64 Bit Windows 2008. Any ideas how well it plays?
#Jason - good idea. Done.
#Ryan - thanks also for the answer. I tried Terminals a few times before, but quite often I need to see two or three sessions side by side which the tabbing doesn't really facilitate too well, would've been nice to have a 'pop out in own window' button. I did once grab the source code to fix stuff like that, but never got the time. I also found it behaved oddly whenever there was a brief network disconnect (e.g. xDSL flapping) and it would reconnect to the wrong session (usually a new one) and leave the session I had opened in a disconnected state on the server. Otherwise Terminals would've been really cool, we have 200+ windows servers, and organising all those .rdp files can be a pain.
I use Tweak UI to configure explorer so that apps don't steal focus; you can also configure how many times they flash in the taskbar as well.
EDIT: Once you are within Tweak UI, these options are found under General > Focus.
EDIT: #Kev, apparently there is a 64-bit version (not MS approved, apparently, I would scan it for viruses of course) that works successfully with the 64-bit version of XP. From what I understand, you download that and then run it in XP compatibility mode as administrator and it will do the trick. Tweak UI is basically a nice wrapper around a collection of registry hacks, so I imagine you could find the hacks themselves if you didn't care for running Tweak UI in this manner. Hope that works for you!
As an alternative, you could try using something like Terminals. It allows you to have multiple remote desktop windows open at once all as tabs in the same window. Quite cool. Also, it is open source so you can change its behavior if needed (although I don't believe it steals focus like a normal RDP session does).
Since I don't think there's an approved version of TweakUI other than for XP. Apparently making this change in the registry has a similar impact for Vista:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop]
ForegroundLockTimeout = 0
However I found (Vista x64) that while focus on the original was maintained the offending window would still take the foreground - quite distracting.
