Bonjour causing problems with Windows 7

Hi -
I installed iTunes 102.2.14, 64-bit version on my HP dm1 laptop.
While iTunes runs fine I have been having some issues that are only resolved by disabling Bonjour so I wanted to post as a PSA.
I found that my iTunes movie downloads were incredibly slow - no movie could be downloaded in under 5 hours. I also found that my laptop would hang if I tried to download more than one movie at a time.
After a reboot in Safe Mode with Network, I was able to download my remaining movies very quickly and my laptop stopped hanging. I've seen a couple of other threads about Bonjour being problematic on Windows 7, so I rebooted and disabled Bonjour.
Presto - no Bonjour, no problem. My next movie downloaded in under 20 minutes. No more Windows hanging.
hth,
AliKelSea

I perform computer support for a number of people and recently ran into this EXACT same problem.
Dell desktop with Windows XP 32 bit SP3. iTunes has been on this machine for over 3 years and has been update regularly.
Everything was fine until iTunes version 10.2.2. was installed, then iTunes would hang and not start causing a windows crash report to be generated.
I uninstalled iTunes, scrubbed the registry, rebooted the machine reinstalled the current version of iTunes, same problem.
I uninstalled iTunes again, scrubbed the registry, rebooted the machine reinstalled a prior version of iTunes, same problem.
I uninstalled iTunes, Boujour, Mobile Me, Apple Mobile Device Support, Quicktime, rebooted the machine, reinstalled a prior version of iTunes again, same problem.
Finally killed the process mDNSResponder.exe in the Task Manager. iTunes opened up no problem.
Went into Services.msc and disabled Bonjour so it does not start. Problem solved for now.
I have only run into this problem on this one computer, I believe that there may be a conflict with some other program installed and running on this machine.
Hope this info helps others as well.

Premiere Elements cause problems with Windows Media Center while streaming to TV.

I was having the following problem:
The audio from the streaming process of a recorded TV show on my HP computer to the remote receivers, a Sony Blu-ray player and/or a Sony Streaming Player, results in the loss of audio signal at exactly 30 seconds from the beginning on either devices. The video continues on as normal.
A user on the Windows 7 forum had the following possible cause and solution. His response was as follows:
I "solved" my issue, at least partially. Turns out for me a codec installed by Adobe Premiere Elements for audio (Main Concept) was causing mfpmp.exe to fail (you should see it getting an appcrash in the event log two or three times as soon as you start playing the media remotely.) This program is used by microsoft for DRM. I went through and one by one remained the various attached (non-microsoft) modules until i found the one that caused the appcrash. I haven't fully figured out if Elements is now negatively effected, but that's for a different forum.
I tried the quick fix by un-installing Adobe Premiere Elements. The uninstall solved my problem with Windows Media Center, but I want to re-install the software but I do not want to recreate the problem with Windows Media Center.
Is there another solution for this problem?

I reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and the above mention problem reoccured. With a little detective work I was able to determine that the file causing my problem was "mc_dec_dd_ds.ax". I am not sure what this does to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 since I removed (renamed) the offending file. A strange side affect, renaming the file did cause an increase volume. Strange.

Mystery .dll in the "Apple Computer" folder causing problems with Windows 7 startup

When Windows 7 starts up on my Dell laptop, I receive the error message: The module "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\kfsunszl.dll" failed to load.
I cannot determine what specific Apple software the .dll file works with. I only have Itunes, Quicktime and iphone related updaters. Uploading the newest software didn't help. I have gone as far as uninstalling all Apple software from my computer, and I still receive the error. I then reinstalled everything...still getting the error. Could this be some kind of malware? I'd love some advice. Thanks!

You already have the answer - re-install XP.
I have been delving into Windows 7, trying to nail an audio problem, have been running various incarnations of 7 on two machines here, and have now some experience of friends who have moved to 7.
For most of what they do, it is fine, and here it is fine for 'normal' computing use. But it acts differently for audio on my two machines with the same external audio interfaces. I have managed to work around problems on both, but on both I have to switch off some networking to make them reliable.
Both machines are rock solid on XP and even on 32-bit Vista.
I appreciate that many people are very successfully using Windows 7 for audio, and I'd have thought that the spec of yours should be good enough, although for 7 I'd prefer a little more memory. But the fact is that I can't do any better audio work on 7 than I could on XP, so why add a load of extra hassle.
One thing that does really worry me is that I've been, as I say, delving into the inner workings of 7 and have been asking questions on Microsoft's technical forums. Some of the answers about audio from Microsoft staff and MVP's have been very depressing to the extent that I worry about Microsoft's in-depth testing.
For glitch testing I use a standard banal piece of music that has a rock solid beat to it with plenty of 'air' around it. Just listening, recording, lining up multiple instances and editing with that sort of source material makes it easy to hear and demonstrate drop outs and similar problems.

ITunes causing problems with Windows XP pro

I recently installed iTunes on my laptop. It has XP pro. itunes worked well, I even purchased music and successfully downloaded it onto my iPod. But since installing iTunes, my computer has been acting strangely. At times, it won't shut down, or won't close programs that are open. I finally removed all iTunes files and uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime. Now my computer works again fine. I have good spyware programs (I think) and antivirus and firewall by Norton. Any suggestions on what is wrong....why did iTunes seem to mess up my computer?

hiya!
just doing a bit of preliminary checking on a couple of things.
But since installing iTunes, my computer has been acting strangely. At times, it won't shut down,
hmmmmm. were you getting some strange end program dialog boxes showing up during the slow shutdowns? in particular were you getting a "ccApp.exe" end program dialog box?
by any chance, is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you have installed on that PC?
love, b

Reduce folders in Windows 7 for pictures without causeing problems with PSE11

The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

HP Envy 15 Graphics Problem with Windows 8.1 (Intel and NVidia Graphics). Help!

I bought an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j013ea about 6 months ago and I have had a major problem with the graphics that I cannot seem to solve. I think it started when I updated to Windows 8.1, even though I am not 100% certain.
I have noticed the following three problems, and I think they are related:
Some windows (such as Chrome, Skype, or even Device Manager or other windows) are very blurry compared to others.
The firefox menu window has some deformed black arrows instead of the normal ones.
When playing a game (specifically, Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2), after a while I get an error that the computer has ran out of memory. However, according to task manager, only about 50% is in use, not to mention that I have 8 GB of RAM + 2 GB graphics memory. At the same time, the computer gets rather loud (like a fan working overtime) and hot.
The laptop has both Intel and NVidia graphics, and both are enabled in Device Manager. To be honest, I have no idea which is used when, or how to check that (let me know if there is a way)
I have tried the following without success:
Uninstalling the Intel graphics driver from device manager and installing a version I downloaded from the HP website for my laptop and OS. After that, Windows would NOT BOOT, and I had to do a system restore.
Uninstalling the Intel graphics from Programs and Features, and installing 2 different versions from the Intel website. Nothing changed.
Updating Nvidia driver through GeForce Experience. Nothing changed.
Updating Intel drivers from Windows Update. Nothing changed.
Quite frankly I am not sure what the problem could be, since the graphics versions are supposed to be compatible with WIndows 8.1. I also don't get why some windows are blurry and others are not. I am thinking the computer uses only the Intel graphics and not the Nvidia (at least in the blurry windows), but even if that was the case (and it shouldn't be), I don't think I should be having this problem.
At this point, I really need help. My graphics details are:
Intel HD Graphics 4600: Driver version: 10.18.10.3412
NVidia GeForce GT 740M: Driver version: 335.23
NVidia GeForce Experience version: 1.8.2
I am attaching screenshots that show driver details and the problems.
Thank you.
Blurry Chrome:
Firefox menu problem:
Device Manager and driver windows are also blurry, both graphics are shown

I had a similar problem with a Dell laptop. I found the problem was the laptop wanted to switch between the Intel and NYIDIA video cards. It would switch to the Intel when high graphics was not required then to the NIVIDIA when high graphics was required. The laptop does this to save power when high graphics is not required but it caused problems with some applications, specifically high graphics games.
For me the solution was to disable the Intel graphics processor. You can do this by right clicking on your Wallpaper, select the NIVIDIA Control Panel, then select Set Physx Configuration. You will see a dropdown box labeled Select Physx Processor. It is set to Auto by default. This allows the switching I described. Select this dropdown box and select your NIVIDIA processor. This will prevent the laptop from switching and force it to use your NVIDIA processor exclusively.
Hope this helps.

Problem with Windows 8.1 and Corseca Byte BT headset

I recently bought a Corseca Byte bluetooth headset.
The headset works fine with phones.
Initially when connected to the laptop running windows 8.1 it works well and continues to flawlessly for hours.
The problem is when the headset is connected to the laptop but there is no audio streaming (e.g paused a movie playback for attending some other job) and resume playback after 10-15 minutes the audio starts stuttering/ becomes choppy. If I switch off the headset
and restart it works fine unless it lays unused for some time.
Windows recognizes the device correctly. I've turned off power management for BT devices and tried to update the drivers without any positive result.
Initially I thought the headset was defective but since it works flawlessly with phones I think it is a problem with Windows 8.1.
How to solve the issue?

Hi,
Have you also tried to disable power management on wireless network connection adapter? Since some OEM computers also combine some features of Bluetooth to wireless network connection adapter.
This issue can be mostly caused by drivers. Please contact the menufacturer's to see if the latest driver is compatible with Windows 8.1.
If not, I suggest you find the driver for Windows 8 /7 and install it in compatible mode in Windows 8.1 to see what's going on.
Also, post back the C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log and event log you can find in event viewer related to this issue here for our research.

If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
Thanks for any help.

Hi WMdotcom
did you try to view pdf with your acrobat pro 9 ?

I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac. Will this cause problems with my Mac?

I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac. Will this cause problems with my Mac?

Thanks. These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used. ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows. Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.) Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive. Any tips on doing that?

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

6 Problems with windows 8.1

Hello,
first sorry for my bad English. I have problems with windows 8.1 and it really annoying me.
1) I can't change lock screen picture. It freezing for 2-3 seconds when I'm trying to change it and nothing happened.
2) I can't browser files from metro apps. It crash and restart.
3) Picture password doesn't work with me. The windows freeze.
4) Facebook app disappeared and if I try to install it. It disappear again.
5) Task manager sometimes freezes for 6-7 seconds when I close it.
6) Randomly when I am using the PC, it will blue screen with usually the following error : Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal

Hi,
Did your system activated? The lockscreen picture problem probably caused by activation problem. For other problem, it is probably driver problem. You can try to reinstall computer driver for test.
In addition, If you installed any security software, please try uninstall them for test.

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

Your system doesn't meet the requirements and that is that. AE has required 900 pixel height ever since CS4. Other than changing your screen res or shuffling around windows there is nothing you can do.
