ITunes with Vista and fingerprint reader

Hi
I have a new iPhone and a PC running Windows Vista. Just after the installation of iTunes 8.0.2 when I try to login for authorization, iTunes freezes and the only way to close is Ctrl-Alt-Canc.
Furthermore (yes, it's another question..) it is impossible to import from a separate disk a song purchased in iTunes Store.
Any workaround?
Many thanks for any answer.

Definitely a Windows Vista issue unless it's iTunes specific ...
Try playing a song in another program in Windows and see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, it's unrelated to iTunes completely and is a Windows issue. If it doesn't repeat itself, try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.

Boot up problems with v570 and fingerprint reader

Hello to all!!
This is my first post. I don't have much time with my v570 and Im verry happy whith it, it just turned out that yesterday I uninstalled a program (MyLockbox) it asked me to restart and suddenlly my computer went very slow at boot up! I ran the boot optimizer and the problem was gone, but other problem appeared. Now, when I start my computer It don't recognize the fingerprint reader one third of the times as it says "suspended device" and the icon appeares in gray. When the laptop is already started it does recognize the fingerprint reader, so it´s pretty strange. I dont know what to do, sombody could help me please?

ITunes with Vista and data execution prevention

Hi,
I just installed iTunes on a Vista machine. But the data execution prevention doesn't allow to start the iTunes.exe. I even can't add an exception in vista, it complains that it is not possible for iTunes.exe.
What the **** could be wrong here?
Thanks for answers

Thank you kindly.
From the Start menu, click Open.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now open your C:\Windows\System32\ directory. What files and/or folders can uour see in there with QuickTime in the filename or folder name?
(In a standard QuickTime installation on a 32-bit system you should see just two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Volume changes on playback in iTunes - with Vista and a brand new computer

When I playback any song, the volume slowly goes down. I have to manually turn up the volume, and then constantly adjust it up and down. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi jeffriespc,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will be glad to assist you!
I understand that the USB ports,Webcam and Fingerprint reader have stopped working. Have you tried running The HP Support Assistant to look for updated drivers and help resolve issues. Do you have all your Windows updates done?
You can check for hardware failures by running diagnostics. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista).
If this has not resolved your issue, you can do either a restore back to a known good date or a recovery.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
If you decide to do the recovery, you will get a prompt to backup your personal files. if you have not done one, I suggest you do it now to prevent data loss. Here is a document to assist you with restoring them.

Upgraded to windows 7 now my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working!

I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Ultimate and my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working. I've tried reading advice off of some forums here and even checked out what I can download from this site and also tried updating but each time it either says could not find updates, or when I try dowloading from this site it says the program may have not installed correctly. I'm stuck I don't know what else I can do, can someone help, I would appreaciate it greatly!

Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.
Enjoying windows 7 in complete silence. If anyone wants to advise downloading a driver then fantastic, but give us a clue where it is hidden.

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

Problems with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader X

hi all,
i have a big problem with SharePoint2010 and Adobe Reader x. We can open .pdf Files from SharePoint but not Safe. The Error Message is "
SharePoint, SQL and OS are installed in English. The problem is that the site was probably created from a German template. One would have to create the site from an English template and then add the other languages by MUI. It is a matter which language site in the settings under Language Settings is uppermost to:
how can the problem be solved?it looks like here, the reader still an error..
andre

Hi,
Could you repost the error-message that you see in Adobe Reader? The problem might be because of a known bug in Microsoft SharePoint server 2010. Certain required field types are missing in the German/French site templates which cause a SOAP request on the server to fail. A workaround is to add these field types to the library. You could add these fields manually or using a script. You could look for following field types which might be missing from the site template.
"Content Type ID","Approver Comments","Name","Document Modified By","Document Created By","File Type","HTML File Type","Source URL","Shared File Index","Title","Template Link","HTML File Link","Is Signed", "Document ID Value", "Document ID", "Content Type", "Created", "Created By", "Modified", "Modified By", "Has Copy Destinations", "Copy Source", "Approval Status", "URL Path", "File Size", "Item Type","Sort Type", "Effective Permissions Mask", "ID of the User who has the item Checked Out", "Is Checked out to local", "Checked Out To", "Unique Id", "Client Id", "Virus Status", "Check In Comment", "Edit Menu Table Start", "Edit Menu Table End", "Server Relative URL", "Encoded Absolute URL", "Property Bag", "Level", "Is Current Version", "Item Child Count", "Folder Child Count", "Select", "Edit", "UI Version", "Instance ID", "Order", "Workflow Version", "Workflow Instance ID", "Source Version (Converted Document)", "Source Name (Converted Document)", "Document Concurrency Number","Relink", "Merge", "Path"

Solution for CD DVD Matshita driver or other with Vista and itunes

Hi all,
I searched the answers everywhere, all around the websites. The problem was always there. If I didn't have the error message in itunes my dvd-cd driver was wrong and if I change the parameters in registry, my dvd-cd driver worked correctly in windows but not in itunes. I have a Matshita cd drive and Vista.
After 8 months, I found the solution yesterday. I did the changes and WOW all is OK now. Believe me, this is THE SOLUTION and I'm very happy.
You must do the changes the registy with regedit (see other answers for the upperfilters in registry) but after this change it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow this ...
Go to this website and follow the instructions for the file AFS driver or read the complete solution.
http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappear_after_installingiTunes
Here the complete explanation:
Summary:
After installing a GEAR Software or a GEARWorks GEAR Powered Product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost) on Vista, the CD/DVD drives disappear in Windows Explorer and the installed software is unable to detect any CD/DVD drives on the system.
Discussion:
After investigating this issue, we have determined that the issue is being caused by the presence of the Audio File System (AFS) driver from Oak Technologies.
The AFS driver adds CD recording functionality to certain versions of the following software:
* HP Memories Disc Creator
* Liquid Audio
* Portal Player
* Oak Technology SimpliCD
* Broderbund's Print Shop version 20
It appears that the AFS driver does not meet Windows Vista driver signing requirements and thus is not compatible with Vista. As a result, the AFS driver prevents the GEARAspiWDM.sys driver from functioning correctly resulting in CD/DVD drives ‘disappearing’ in Windows Explorer and applications using the GEARworks API, such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost.
Solution:
Disabling the AFS driver appears to resolve the issue.
This can be done by renaming the afs.sys driver file in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory to afs.txt and rebooting the system. After the reboot the CD/DVD drives should re-appear in Windows Explorer and be available in GEAR and GEARworks powered product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost).
Note that disabling the AFS driver may result in the loss of the CD recording functionality in the above mentioned software that uses the AFS driver.

Are you able to even edit the registry key? The problem I had -- and many others, I've learned -- is that for some reason iTunes and/or QT locks down certain critical registry keys. So even if I'm logged on as an admin I can't change them.
I posted a possible solution -- at least it worked for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358116
Good luck!

Many problems with Vista and Itunes--slowing and crashing

Okay, so itunes has never worked right on my computer. I have a Comaq Persario V6000 with the Centrino duo. These are some of the problems I have with Itunes:
1. will not play initially on start up. I need to close itunes, open it again and then sometimes it plays.
2. Sometime itunes never opens, no matter how many times I click on the icon.
3. Runs very slowly at times. Might take 30 seconds for a rating to appear after I've clicked on it.
4. Crashes completely.
I've tried reinstalling itunes numerous times to no avail. I'm also using the newest itunes version. Every other program works fine on my computer, except itunes. Any help is appreciated. I'm at my wits end. I love my ipod but I hate itunes.

Hmmm. Looked around and tried all the tips and tricks. Nothing works basically. Even took the PC to pieces and plugged in my old graphics card (totally different make and drivers etc). No success. Mucked around with the memory, BIOS setup etc. Even read people in the same boat having no success reinstalling XP! Grief... Luckily I have a laptop to use for the iPod. Bit of a pain (should get a second cable really), but should work, esp with my portable 300gb drive. Annoying, buy hey....
Oh, and I got the superman returns mp4 to play in a window from the website. After watching it through the windows player I selected the QuickTime version of the movie and waited for BSOD. Nope, played fine (much better quality too). Ok I thought, perhaps I've fixed it, play the downloaded version on the desktop. Nope, BSOD ****. ****....
Hmmm, notice all the Apple gurus here loading up with tips and suggestions. Aha. Honestly anything more than "How do you get Britneys picture to appear?" and they don't want to know. Typical....
Good luck.
Cheers

Drivers assistance required for graphics card and fingerprint reader with W8 & Pavilion DV7-6B01ED

Hi - I own a HP Pavilion DV7-6B01ED and recently upgraded from W7 Home Premium to W8 Pro. Everything appeared to work fine except for the graphics card I have which now seems to always be on with the fan running, getting hot and running down the battery much more than before. I can not confirm what was reported as the graphics card in W7, but it is reported as the AMD 7000M after the upgrade. My invoice reports that it is a HD6490. Further to this, W8 reported an issue with this device in Device Manager.
Due to another issue (not hardware related) I decided to do a clean install of W8 which would also let me clean things up and to re-partition my disk.
In doing so I deleted the HP_TOOLS and the Recovery partitions. I'm not against recreating these but needed to delete them as I had 4 primary partitions and could not work within the restriction that comes with this. I understood from reading online that these can be recreated and the necessary tools re-installed (or another solution with DVD / USB employed). If the solution to my problems requires these to be installed, I'm happy to do so.
After the clean install, I continue to have the graphics card issue (same details as above) and the other issue I have is with the fingerprint reader. It shows up as an unknown device after W8 install (it did not have any issues after the initial upgrade I performed though).
So I've done plenty of things to try to rectify the issue and this includes installing the HP Support Assistant in the hope that this would help with the drivers. Instead of going through all the steps I've undertaken (I've read plenty in this HP forum and outside of the forum) and used certain W7 drivers, installed this that or the other program but unfortunately to no avail. I cannot get the fingerprint reader working and I still have a very hot and noisy laptop.
I'm good enough with OS and device driver installations and happy to get stuck into some unorthodox solutions if needs be. What can I do to resolve these issues?
Regarding the graphics card - is it a case that AMD have yet to release an updated driver? If so, I can live with that but in the meantime I would like to turn off the AMD card and work only with the integrated Intel graphics. Disabling the device in Device Manager does not seem to work. How do I do that?
The fingerprint reader is no big deal, but ideally I would like it working. What to do here?
If I need to do a re-install of W8 again and then get stuck into the driver installations I'm good with that, but would like to do it in a manner that will let me resolve these issues in the future without too much hassle.
The spec of my machine is: HP DV7-6B01ED 17.3FHD / i5-2430 / 8GB / 750GB HDD / HD6490
Thanks!

Hello AttackofZaq....
Thanks firstly for your reply. I re-installed W8 to start from scratch.
OK, so I thought the AMD driver worked. I had installed it before I posted to the forum but then the problem seemed to have returned. I'll have to play with the settings because just as I type this the fan has started for no reason, same problem as before. Is there any chance Windows Updates in interfering?
Regarding the fingerprint reader - it hasn't helped. In Device Manager I now see Biometric Devices > Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID=0018). Is there some further software I require in order to use the device. I'm going to install SimplePass to see if that's needed.
I'll be back with an update.

Ipod not recognized by itunes with vista!!

I (amid all of my other troubles with vista) have updated to itunes 7.2 but am not able to get itunes to recognize my 30 GB video ipod. I perused the other discussions and noticed others have had the same problem but never came across an answer.
thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

ITunes with Vista

I have Windows Vista ultimate installed on a PC.
When I connect my iPod Video windows warns that this device needs to be scanned. I have refused to allow it to do so. iTunes will sometimes recognize the iPod is connected, sometimes not, sometimes it will freeze.
Same Hardware with XP Pro installed never had a single issue in the 6 months I've owned the iPod.
thanks,

I also have undocumented issues with iTunes 7.1.1 and my 80GB 5th gen iPod. I waited patiently for 7.1.1 (it would not work at all with previous version of iTunes and Vista) and even when I installed 7.1.1 it would not recognise the iPod was connected, or if it did it would crash and blue screen Windows.
What I fond worked was to restore the iPod back to factory settings (make sure you have a good back up of your music, either in iTunes on your PC or better still on both your PC and a extra backup. This will effectively completely wipe your iPod. I then found conecting it back to iTunes that it recognised it quickly and synced the music quickly, i.e. it worked as expected.
However, trying to sync the Vista My Pictures folder with my iPod is impossible. I have about 5,000 pictures and it takes about 1-2 minutes per picture to optimise the pictures before syncing. As you can imagine, I have not let this function complete, an in mot cases it still crashes my PC. Something is no working still,maybe related to the recognised USB support issue for iTunes that Microsoft is still working on.
Does anyon have any ideas?
