Trouble with iTunes and Windows Vista

Hello,
I have a new Win Vista system and need to move over all my old music to existing IPOD. I installed the latest version of itunes, and the Windoes patch (can't recall the number). I been able to successfully install itunes and port over my music. However when I attach the iPod and sync it I get the following errors: Attempting to copy to disk "name of iPod" failed. an unknown error occured (-124), and then "The iPod "name of Ipod" can't be synced. The required file cant be found, and "the iPod "name of iPod" can't be synched. The required folder can't be found.
The odd thing is that it appeard as if it was synching up songs accorning to the status bar across the top.
Any help please....
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

  • Problems with iTunes and Windows Vista

    I just got a new dell computer that came with Windows Vista. I'm new to Vista, and just downloaded iTunes. I was able to add my music and it will play, but I can't edit track information. I downloaded iTunes from the administrator account, so I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. Please help!!

    For windows vista, like someone suggested, it may change your permission for editing a file and appear grey screen. As such, the following step might solve this problem.
    Go to "Computer", go to your portable hard drive, right click and go to "Properties". Select "Security" Under the "group and user names" choose your user name. To change the permission, choose "Edit" Under permission column, choose "Full Control". After this you may able to edit song information in your itunes.

  • Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
    here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

  • Burning cds with itunes and Windows Vista

    It seems like my problems with itunes are never ending on my HP laptop with Windows Vista. Originally, itunes screwed up my disc drive, but then I downloaded the 64 bit version of it and that turned out ok. However, whenever I started itunes it says it wasn't downloaded properly and I won't be able to import or burn cds. I've downloaded it before multiple times to see if that message would go away when I started it up, but it didn't. That was fine for a while because I never burn cds but today I wanted to and it wouldn't work. It would say Disc Recording not found. So, I thought I should upgrade to the new itunes 8.1 but I was afraid to because it might screw up the disc drive again. And of course, it did. I even downloaded the 64 bit version. So I guess my question is, how can I install the 64 bit version without that error message and be able to burn cds?

  • Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

    I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

    Hey Don,
    What exactly happens after you install iTunes? Do you see an error message?

  • With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library.  What should I be doing differently?

    With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library.  What else should I be doing?

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

    I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?

  • ITunes and Windows Vista

    I've just purchased a new computer. It came with Vista Home Premiun OS. When I download iTunes on it -- it works fine until the computer is shut down. When the computer is then started again the DVD/CD driver software cannot be found. The drive won't recognize anything. If I uninstall iTunes it works fine, I reload iTunes and it works fine until I shut down again -- then it doesn't find it again.
    I am pretty sure I have the most updated version of Vista (although I will check asap) and know that I have most updated iTunes (just downloaded) -- anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it....other going back to XP or uninstalling iTunes?

    It would be best first to check for a device filter conflict:
    iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
    ... however, if you're still getting no CD/DVD drive with just the iTunes filters in place, you may be one of the unlucky ones who are getting the issue discussed here:
    Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
    Although it wouldn't necessarily be a short-term solution, keep an eye on that document for updated information about the issue.
    In the short term, one workaround might be to use a different application to rip the CDs, and then use the "Add to library" function to get the ripped files into your iTunes. The following document might be of some help with that:

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

    Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
    I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
    Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
    Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
    Thanks to everyone will help e!

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

  • IPod doesn't sync with iTunes on Windows Vista

    Hi there!
    I'm experiencing the following problem:
    the iPod charges when connected to my pc, but doesn't display within iTunes (and Windows Explorer). The 'round load' icon displays for 2 seconds in my iPod when I connect it via my USB 2.0, then disappears.
    A few times it has appeared, but then I got a message that the iPod isn't functioning properly anymore (with iTunes) and that the iPod needs to be reset.
    When I'm chosing the option to restore, I see a window with a downloading bar but it seems to keep hanging. I tried to restore my iPod several times via this procedure, but even if I waited some hours it is still loading, so it seems to keep hanging within this process.
    In order to see wheter this problem has already been known and solved, I've read through the knowledgebase.
    I have read the following article:
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    Unfortunately, proceeding through these steps didn't help me further. Also, I read through the following threads:

    Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
    Thank you for your time reading this post, any help is appreciated.

    I wonder wheter there is a possibility to add files like screenshots and process dumps in order to give the ability for further analysis.

    Fault Module Name: mcicda.dll

    That's part of your Windows operating system, relating to the MCI driver for cdaudio devices.
    Perhaps try running an sfc /scannow as per:
    [How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
    Does sfc repair any files? If so, does your iTunes start launching properly again afterwards?

  • Ipod nano, new itunes, and windows vista

    Hello,
    I just recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista. With all the problems i've been having, I was sure that I would have problems with iTunes...
    Well everything went surprisingly well when installing the new iTunes and adding all of my music files to the library. I nervously connected my iPod to the USB, thinking it would erase all of my files but I was happy to discover that my computer recognized my iPod and remembered that I keep it so that I can manually manage my music.
    Now the problem is that, when I connect my iPod it comes up with a list of tabs, (summary, music etc...)...the summary tab says that my iPod has 13M left out of 4 gigs which is correct...but when I click on the music tab, it does not show the list of music in my iPod...so I cannot edit what is on my iPod. It gives me the option of syncing my iPod to my iTunes library, but I don't want to do that because it will erase everything that is already on my iPod, and I'm afraid that I'll have problems after that such as not being able to add songs onto it. When I eject my iPod and look through it, I find all of the songs still on it....is there an option somewhere that I'm overlooking? Is this something that has to do with the new iTunes or do you think it may be something with Vista?
    any input would be appreciated, thanks.

    This has nothing to do with Windows Vista, it's basically just one of the changes from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7. If you look in the left-hand column of iTunes (the source list) you should see the name of your iPod below the word "devices." If you look to the left of the name of the iPod icon, you should see a small triangle that appears to be pointing toward the iPod. Click on it. You should now see an additional menu below the iPod's name. If you click on "music" below your iPod, it should show you a list of what's on your iPod.
    Hope this helps!
