Buggy iTunes in an old Windows XP Pro. SP3?

Hello.
A few days ago, I downloaded and installed the (lat/new)est iTunes (never had it before) into my old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine because I got an unwanted, used iPod Touch (first generation) and iPod Nano (6th generation) for free. I seem to have problems with iTunes though:
1. I tried (creat/mak)ing a brand new account, but nothing happens after clicking on its link and showing "Accessing iTunes Store" message in iTunes' top status screen. I even tried rebooting to see if my machine just in case, but that did not help. Same with IE6 to IE8 upgrade with its required reboot.
2. During a synch with iPod Nano, there was a mobile.exe something crash when syncing (had to restore backup to one of my iPods that left tons of mess (half of it was "other" instead of audio) on its storage after iTunes did a verification).
Is it me or is iTunes really buggy and slow? Does Apple even have an web version of iTunes? Google search didn't seem to show it.
Thank you in advance.

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.

  • 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.

  • Setting to have iTunes Pause when Locking Windows XP Pro

    Happy New Year,
    iTunes used to have a setting where if I locked my desktop, it would pause iTunes.
    Does anyone know what that setting might be in the latest version of iTunes?
    Thanks,

    I got the iTunes 7 to work on XP Pro 64bit. What I did was this:
    1. Downloaded DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe
    2. Installed it.
    3. Created this file tree: C:\Windows\Sysnative\drivers (Easier terminology, I went into the Windows folder and created a folder named "sysnative", opened that folder and created another folder called "drivers".
    4. Then I located the folder where I installed DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe ..
    5. I took the file called GEARAspiWDM and COPIED IT. I DID NOT MOVE THIS FILE!!!
    6. I pasted a COPY of this file into sysnative\drivers. The folder I just made.
    7. I installed iTunes 7, not 7.6. 7.6 and this method won't solve the burning issue. That would require more programs and more patients.
    Note, you will have to manipulate iTunes when you want to burn. The best way to do this, I found, was to simply make a playlist and right click the playlist on the left column and select burn to disk. It should act normally.

    After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:
    a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • Migrating application from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro SP3

    I just got a new computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 installed and need an application that was installed on my old, really old, computer running Windows 2000. The application was developed by a third party in 1997 and uses Oracle as the database engine. It uses Developer 2000 for the interface. Our IT person, who is lightyears ahead of anyone I've ever known when it comes to hardware and software, could not get the application to run on my new computer. We get error FRM-40039 when we try to open the application. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I use this application intermittantly all day and right now the "solution" is for me to go to my old computer to use it. This would be like an editor trying to use a dictionary located in another room from which it could not be removed (and could not consult the internet).

    FRM-40039 is a Forms error, and Forms doesnt use ODBC. You'll probably get better help posting in the forum appropriate for that product. Unfortunately I'm not sure exactly what the forum is :(

  • Anti-virus software on Windows XP pro sp3 with Virtual PC

    Hi,
    I'm running Virtual PC 7.0.3 with Windows XP pro Sp3 on eMac. Has anyone found the need to run a anti-virus software etc as part of the Windows system? Or will the firewall on the broadband router modem be sufficient protection?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.

  • I can't install ANY AIR-based App in Windows XP Pro SP3

    Here is the problem: I have AIR 1.5.1.8210, but any AIR apps can't be installed and when I try it the OS crashes and I have my computer restarted. It's very weird 'cause it's heppen only with AIR apps.
    Yes, this is my last resource to find an answer to it.
    Yes, I've done my homework and yes, I've done some research (and still doing it)
    Yes, I'm using my administrator account logged on with password (so, I think, apps has no problem to install)
    Yes, I tried install it with another user account I thought the app will ask the admin password (just like in Linux OS, when the app on installation ask you about the root password). Even though, no success. Of course, it's something expected 'cause the user hasn't admin permissions. But I give a shot.
    Yes, I've already installed/installed about 5 times AIR runtime and the AIR apps (even manually) and no success...at all!
    Yes, I used at least 4 apps to system/registry/file cleaning (CCleaner, Glary Utilities, Advanced System Care  and MVRegClean)...too many of them, but only to be sure of the complete cleaning.
      Here in the forum another person, but on Vista, found almost the same problem as I, here's the link: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/199842?tstart=30
      And another buddy ask about admin rights to install AIR apps, here's the link: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415756?tstart=30
      And, I found two others infos in Adobe site per se about any troubleshooting on AIR: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403150&sliceId=1 and log actions during installation: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403123&sliceId=1.
    2+2 = 4. So, I done/undone all the steps in the last two links (I installed/unistalled the AIR runtime and AIR apps 5 times, remember?) Usually, I can handle my own problems in computer, but this one I can't figure it out.
    After all of this here's my system specifications: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3600+ (2.01Ghz), Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bits), Nvidia GeForce 7100 (512 Mb), 1.5 Gb RAM. Web browser: Mozilla Firefox 3.0.8 with TwitterFox.
    So, could anyone help? I know, I know to mucj information, burt it was to facilitate the conversation, believe me.
    Kisses, Cat777.

    Well, well, well, right before somenone could answer me. I found the answer just here in the forum. I really love it!!!
      Seems to be a incompatibility with the file created on Folder Lock installation: "windrvnt.sys." In this case, it is just uninstall Folder Lock and tah dah! Everything works perfectly.
      Here comes my request: Hey, developers you all could give a try in resolve this issue, huh? At least give a try...It'll be very nice have the two programs properly installed in anybody's (who wants it) system.
      Thanks, anyway for this space to research, change some infos even undirectly. If it was not this forum and all the debate in here maybe I'll be in the dark search for the resolution of it.
      Thanks.

  • Can I get Cisco Jabber 10.6.0 to work on Windows XP Pro SP3?

    We are implementing the new Cisco Jabber 10.6.0, per a requirement, but we still have some Windows XP Pro SP3 users. The issue is that with this new client the app will not load due to error:  CiscoJabber.exe Entry Point Not Found: the procedure entry point inet_ntop could not be located in the dynamic link library ws2_32.dll.
    I understand Windows XP is "not supported", but since we are forced to upgrade to this version I was hoping for a work around for our Windows XP users until they can upgrade to Windows 7.
    Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks for your time.

    Thank you for the suggestion. Here is what I did:
    Uninstalled 10.6
    Removed all folders and file traces of the install
    Tried to install 9.6 - got hung up during install so had to reboot
    Tried right-click on exe / uninstall and got message it was only used if installed, so it never really installed even thou I had a broken link to jabber on the desktop
    Tried install again. Second attempt was same thing. It gets hung on the windows installer - preparing to install... had to reboot again
    Right-click exe / repair and got message it was only used if installed
    Removed all folders and file traces of the install
    Redownloaded the exe
    Same issue, will not install. Hang right after registering product completes.
    So i'll be looking into why this is not installing now. :)

  • IMac 24inch - Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro SP3 - ZERO Audio

    I've just used Boot Camp to install a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro SP3 onto my 24-inch, 2.4 gHz iMac.
    Everything seems OK, except there is ZERO audio.
    I've tried reinstalling drivers from RealTek, to no avail. I've downloaded RealTek's latest drivers (number 217) and they appear to install, but nothing works.
    My Device Manager does not show any sort of Audio card whatsoever. Have I got some sort of hardware problem? (Audio works without trouble in OS X.) Why can't Windows find my Audio Card at all?

    I also have the same problem. I installed the Bootcamp update for XP and then my audio does not work with XP anymore. It does work with Leopard still without a problem. I noticed that when I am in windows, and I turn the audio off of mute, there is a red light that illuminates from the Audio Jack. The Audio driver does show up on my control panel, but nothing is working. Is this a way to make us stop using windows?

  • Adobe Reader v8.1.2 Compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3

    I need to know if Adobe Reader v8.1.2 is compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3.
    Thank you.

    I've been using Reader without any problems until yesterday when administrator installed Windows XP SP3. When I do a <Ctrl-P> to print, it takes about 30 to 90 seconds for the print requester to pop up. The program is locked up and not responding during the delay, although it does NOT say "Not Responding" in the title bar.<br /><br />While the delay is going, the SysInternals Process Explorer shows but fleeting milliseconds of Kernel or User time being used. Setting the priority from 8 to 13 made no improvement at all.<br /><br />I frequently print from the Reader and the delay drives me nuts! This hang-up needs to be corrected ASAP.<br /><br />I am sure it is a Reader incompatibility because it never happened before the SP3 update, the program is hung and doing nothing and everything works perfectly before and after the <Ctrl-P> is entered.<br /><br />Word or Excel do not experience similar problems. I just tried Notepad, and it sometimes hangs the same way but not nearly as long - maybe 10 seconds at the most and only the first time. After the first delay it pops right up. Adobe Reader hangs a long time every time.<br /><br />Any idea if Adobe is going to fix it or even knows the problem exists? Do they moderate or monitor complaints like this here or elsewhere?<br /><br />I don't want to think they know about it and are fixing it if they aren't.
