ITunes 10.1.2 upgrade on  Win XP Pro SP3 Kills Internet access

The latest iTunes 10.1.2 install on my Win XP Pro SP3 system kills my Internet access. Internet status shows that I'm connected but Internet Explorer and Firefox can't connect to the server. Running Win XP Pro SP3 with all MS updates applied on a Dual-Core Intel 6600 chip, 4 gig of memory and a couple of terabytes of hard drive. When I do a restore from my backup hard drive to the prior OS and iTunes version, everything is back to normal. I didn't receive any error notifications both times from the install. I first did the install from the Apple website directly (and lost Internet access), then restored my backup system and downloaded the update separately and then installed and lost Internet access again. Am now back up using iTunes 10.1.1.4. Is this update from Egypt? (supposed to be funny).
Thanks-
Richard

Thanks for the link. I noticed that "Swut" from Orange County, Ca (see the post below) had a reply in the link you gave me referring to "Vipre" , which is an Anti-Virus program that I also use, like "Swut".
I will investigate this further. In defense of Apple, there is no way that they can test against every bit of software that we run on these PCs. I would hope that if we find out that there is some problem with the Vipre interface, both Apple and the Vipre people will be made aware of the problem.
Before I try the iTunes 10.2.1 upgrade again, I'll contact Sunbelt Software- the people who make Vipre and see if they have heard of this problem. I'll let all of you know what the results are.
Thanks- Richard Van Nostrand

I didn't have to go all the way through with TRG10987s solution. When I got to step 4 I noticed that VIPRE had installed multiple virtual network adapters on to of the network adapters. I uninstalled VIPRE thereby deleting the virtual adapters ran the upgrade, and reinstalled VIPRE. Everything works fine now.
Thanks to TG10987, who put me on the path."

  • T410 Windows 7 Upgrade - from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64.

    I purchased a T410 with Win 7 Pro 32 and am looking for the option to upgrade it to Win 7 Ultimate 64.
    The shop in the country (Singapore) do not provide such option/customization.
    Called tech support in the country without getting much info (they said they only support hardware). 
    Tried Lenovo shop in the country and they will only help to upgrade to Pro 64 with a charge, however without any recovery media (OS and drivers).  I need Ultimate 64.
    Browsed Lenovo site and couldn't find anything relevant.
    Hope someone will give me the direction to upgrade from Win 7 Pro 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64 (with all drivers).

    Dear Yannick Plavonil,
    That discussion was started by me only on dell community and it was not resolved. 
    However if I upgrade can I revert back to Win 7, if something does not resolve or some of the devices
    connected to the motherboard do not work?

  • Sync taking hours - iphone 3GS Win XP Pro SP3

    Hey,
    Had a search but couldn't find anything of any use.
    PC is newly formatted Win XP pro SP3
    Phone is iphone 3GS 32gb 3.1.3 about 6 months old
    Total memory on phone used is about 12gb
    I have done this two times, one as a fresh update syncing the phone and one with a copied library from before the format.
    This might just be a "PC" thing that I will have to live with but since going to 3.1.3 and the latest version of itunes syncing my iphone its taking well so far over an hour and a half to sync the phone!!
    Originally when I bought the phone with 3.1.2 with itunes 9.? (December) it was syncing in about 10mins.
    The previous version of itunes in mid\late march had huge memory leaks which explained why it wouldnt sync or update but this new version seems to sync but it takes forever!
    The sync times do not affect my ipods, I have two classic ipods (80 & 160gb) which it takes no time to sync and works fine.
    Any suggestions? Apart from buying a mac!!

    The most common issue with long backup is users that keep way too many photos in the TEMPORARY camera roll.
    Do you copy off photos from your camera roll on a routine basis and then sync back to their own libraries any photos you wish to keep on the phone.
    The camera roll is a special place not meant to really keep on storing images for long term. It is treated differently than the rest of the file system.

  • Win 7 basic upgrade to Win 7 Pro without Anytime upgrade

    Ho do I upgrade my Win 7 Basic to Win 7 Pro without using Anytime upgrade? I have bought a new Win 7 Pro CD with product key but dont want to do a new install.

    FerdieM wrote:
    Thank you Wolfgang.
    The Win 7 basic was a OEM that was pre-installed on the machine. The
    Win 7 Pro is a new full software package bought.
    It seems the only way then is to backup the system and start from new
    by re-installing the Win 7 Pro?
    Such a waste of time. Dont know why machines are sold with such lower
    end versions. Saving money causes too much effort.
    I'd check with your hardware vendor if he can sell you an OEM upgrade
    instead of starting a new install - and if you did not open the
    software package you may be able to get a refund for it - as it is
    obviously not the thing, which you need.

  • Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem won't work

    Another issue with this A30 Satellite notebook
    The built in modem doesn't work.
    *Explanation:*
    The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
    The modem is identified as 'Toshiba software modem amr' and is setted on com3 port.
    When I click on 'diagnostic' and 'ask modem' (the right labels may be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window appears saying it's impossible to open the door (port) which the modem is connected to.
    I have tried to change the modem com port to different numbers but the problem is the same.
    I don't know whether the modem is an actual board connected in some way to the main board or is just built on the main board. If it would be the first case, I could change it ad see. btw, the mini pci slot is already occupied by the gigabyte Wi-Fi board, so the modem must be somewhere else.
    It is strange, since I did at least 2 other win xp pro installations on this machine, always downloading and installing the proper drivers, and the modem never has worked.
    Thanks

    This old Satellite A30 was offered with Windows XP Home Edition/Professional SP1 so maybe you should install WXP SP1 and then all other stuff following original installation order.

  • Unable to fully sync with iPod Touch 1G and the (new/lat)est iTunes versions in a very old Windows XP Pro SP3 machine?

    Hi.
    I keep getting this "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." error when I try to sync my 11 GB of music from my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to an old iPod Touch 1G (iOS v3.1.3). It has a brand new (lat/new)est iTunes installations too. I tried rebooting the the machine, disconnecting USB cables, etc. None of them helped. I did not have this problem in the end of 2013.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk '...' failed. The device timed out."
    "The iPod '...' cannot be synched. An internal device error occurred."
    Sometimes Windows XP Pro SP3 thinks my USB connection is not fast? Huh?
    No problems when I synched almost 8 GB of music to an iPod Nano 6G from the same machine and USB connector and port. Same collection, and random songs.
    I tried again on a borrowed old 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2008) with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes v10.6.3. Synced from its local HDD to it without any problems.
    So, I had an idea. I retried with iTunes v11.1.3.8, that I used end of 2013, in the same Windows XP Pro SP3 machine from scratch. It worked like the end of last year! No errors! Wow! :O
    OK, so what changed in iTunes after its v11.1.3.8 to cause this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
    I only see mdnsDSP from Apple in my WinSock Provider tabs in AutoRuns v11.70. I do remember I had a low memory error during a very long synchronization, but that only happened once. I doubt that is related to creating a new account especially after I rebooted my very old Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine.

  • Upgraded to Win 7 Pro lost internet connect

    I had FiOS internet installed, but at the exact same time my desktop computer blew it brains, so I never established internet connection through my computer. I purchased a new HP desktop with Win 7 Home Edition operating system, and yesterday I set it up.  I used the FiOS disk given to me by the technician and with it easily established connection to the internet. I then installed a desktop email program (Thunderbird), and installed Microsoft Office 2003, and then via installation disk updated Win 7 Home Edition to Win 7 Professional.  When the desktop loaded I noted none of the programs I installed were there, and I was unable to connect to the internet.  I then inserted the FiOS Disk into the Disk Drive, but I could not establish a connection to the internet.

    MrsEd ... I want to thank you for taking the time to respond to my problem.  I am not a computer person so forgive me if I say something stupid ... a friend suggested when I installed the Win 7 upgrade (to Pro) I possibly over-wrote (or deleted) the driver for the Ethernet card.  So I went to HP's site and tried to determine the correct Ethernet card and the appropriate driver.  I downloaded the driver (at work), burned it to a CD, and need to bring the CD home to install the driver (keeping my fingers crossed).  Hopefully this will solve the problem.  Again, thanks for the response.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 upgrade problems on macbook pro

    I have updated itunes to 10.6.3 and it works okay until i try to go to Itunes store. It crashes. Also since I installed it everytime i try to use safari it also crashes. Any suggestions

    Not to sound alarmist, but rather, cautious. Be sure that those who respond to this thread have your computer configuration before you take their experiences to heart. I cannot comment specifically regarding your machine since I do not have a mac with your configuration.
    A bad sign is that the actual configurations are starting to mean something as opposed to Macs of yore when it wasn't much of an issue which model mac one owned because the software "just worked."

  • X220 Problems after upgrade to Win 8 Pro

     Hi all,
    Two weeks ago I upgraded OS on my ThinkPad X220 (model 428759G, BIOS 1.37) to Windows 8 Pro X64. After upgrade I did “factory reset” (function of Windows 8), because I preferred clean installation.
    Then there were installed all updates via Windows Update service. After that I installed drivers and software from Lenovo via Lenovo System Update and Avira Antivirus Premium 2013.
    Now I deal with the a few problems.
    1) Every day (several times a day) this service C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Mobile Hotspot\LnvHotSpotSvc.exe stops working. More information is below (sorry for Czech language).

    2) From this webpage http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77280 I downloaded and installed the Hotkey Features Integration (version 3.84.1500). But not all of FN keys work properly.
    For example Fn+F8 doesn’t switch off touchpad or trackpoint, FN+F5 doesn’t switch off Bluetooth or WiFi – only both of them are switched off (via Airplane mode in Windows 8). If I want to switch off Bluetooth I can do it via controls in Windows 8. But I don’t understand why Bluetooth light is still on.
    3) Sometimes if laptop is woke up from sleep or hibernation mode, the system service ntoskrnl.exe (NT Kernel & System) uses CPU with 30% (fan is on high speed).  Only restart fixes this problem.
    Does anyone have similar problems?

    Mobile hotspot error confirmed (but not important for me ).
    Keys are working fine for me. BUT: I use old driver for Windows 7. The new one from January, 18th with Windows 8 look works as you described.
    Btw. I dont like Bios - express card witn USB 3.0 NEC  PD720200a is not working at all.

    I got it to install with help from MS support. Here are the steps:
    1. Search for "msconfig" and start the app.
    2. Under the general tab select "diagnostic startup".
    3. click OK.
    4. Restart machine once.
    5. After restart. Initiate windows upgrade. 
    6. After successful upgrade, return to msconfig and reset setting to "normal startup".
