Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
Help, please.
(My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements

  • Cannot open iTunes 8 with Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem. I have a new Ipod Touch that needs itunes 8 to work. I have a new HP PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem I'm having is: itunes & quicktime will download successfully onto my computer, but after download will not open. I receive the error message "itunes has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried to open them from desktop & from programs ...will not work. I was using itunes 7 with no problems, but after upgrade to the new version (itunes 8) I started having this problem. Here are a few of the things I have tried so far with help from just about every tech support I could find: uninstall & reinstall itunes (tried this several times..didn't help, but itunes installs successfully each time)...try installing quicktime & itunes separately (didn't help)..disable firewall & virus protection (didn't help)...turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (didn't help)...tried saving software to discs & installing itunes that way (didn't help)...I have updated all of my software including windows vista...I've run virus checks...& pretty much run checks on anything else I could find. I occasionally get the same error message when I try to open Rhapsody, but not every time. I'm thinking of using my backup discs & restoring my computer to factory settings. To do that would be a last resort, but I am getting pretty close to desperate. Does anyone think restoring it would help? If anyone has any ideas for me to try I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

    You need to to check to see if your Quicktime works normally. Itunes will not work if QUicktime doesn't.
    If Quicktime doesn't work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
    Go to your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. In XP you need to be in classic view to see it, I am not sure about Vista.
    Give the full text of any error message.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar
    If so uninstall them, they are bad news for Quicktime.
    Report back with your results.
    If Quicktime is OK have you seen the Apple troubleshooting article for launch failure, I guess you have probably done quite a bit of it anyway, but is worth going through it systematically:

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

  • I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

    Hi there,
    I'd like to ask you something:
    I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
    Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
    I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
    What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
    How do I have to proceed in detail?
    What would it cost?
    I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
    Anyways - can you help me please?
    If you can't help me, who can do so?
    It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
    Thank you guys
    Prying Pedro

    Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
    Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.

  • Conflicts between Itunes and Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

    I have a new Windows Vista Home premium laptop and am NOT able to use the latest version of iTunes. Hopefully by the time you get your new computer, Apple will have taken the time to fix the garbage program that they are passing off as the latest version of iTunes.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

    I have been having problems with my screen for several months now:  every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels.  I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed.  It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal.  I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot.  This does not work.  I have also tried installing the original graphics driver.  This does not work either.
    If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error: 
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)  The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing.  I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Does anyone have a resolution?
    I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007.  The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
    If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Installation of itunes in windows vista home premium

    I have tried several times in vain to download the latest version of i Tunes ( 7.6) on my computer. The installation apparently goes through properly but when i try to open itunes I recieve an itunes has stopped working dialogue box and the descripton generally is that an data execution program has prevented itunes from opening. I have tried clearing old downloads and reloading, I have tried disabeling conflicting programs ( not sure which ones will be conflicting) I have tried allowing itunes and quick time through the sytem performance file etc. I am frustrated and ready to throw my nano away. thanks for any help

    I didn't realize Vista Home Premium wasn't supported, so I went ahead and installed Oracle 10g R2 standard edition and then personal edition on 64-bit Vista Home Premium. The only problem I've had is that the DB Console doesn't work, which is why I came to this forum and thread. All I get is a blank page with a few chicken scratches, but everything else has been working so far. I've had to revert to command line SQL Plus, and I just imported a couple million rows from an export done on a Solaris server, so go figure. Obviously I'm not using it for a production database, but for my purposes so far it's done OK.

  • Crystal Report with Windows Vista Home Premium

    (Why I added Code and my paragraph becomes dis-order??)
    Dear all,
    This is my first post in this forum. So, if I put at wrong section, Mod please kindly move my thread.
    Here is what I'm facing now.
    I have an application which is coded in Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) using SQL Server Express 2005 edition. This project include report sections which I used Visual Studio built-in Crystal Report. (My development PC is running XP Pro edition)
    I already tested it in Windows XP Professional Edition (this is a clean OS no programming or other tools installed in it) and it worked well and it display the report accordingly and correctly.
    But when I tested it in Vista Home Premium, it got error and I can't run all reports. I juse ADO.Net connectivity to connect between Database and Crystal Report.
    Below is a sample which is provided by Crystal Report under my C:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Crystal Reports\Samples\en\Code \ VB_Win_Data_DataSets. The way I connect is follow this project standard. Even the sample project got this error in Vista Home, I think it may be Vista problem or Crystal report problem. It will not my connection problem.
    Because my customer PC is running Vista Home Premium, now I'm in dead end. Kindly please tell me what should I do to solve this case.
    Thanks.

    try to add error code. but my paragraph seems to disorder when I add
    blog. don't know why.

    Hi Ludek,
    Sorry, I was on vacation and didn't notice the email alert.
    I didn't deployed yet. Because I want to make sure it runs OK on vista, I didn't create a setup or deploy project in .Net.
    I just build and copy the entire bin folder and required data to Vista PC and test it.
    then it hits this error. (All other parts of my program is working well like CRUD data to DB.)
    (I did install this file "crredist2005_x86.msi" on Vista PC.)
    Thanks for all your support.
    I still didn't solve this case.
    What I do now is I change the way I connect to Server for all Crystal Reports.
    At first I use Dataset and map it to Server.
    Now I directly connect to it without pass through dataset. (Use OLEDB SQL Server.)
    But I still want to know how to solve this case.
    If anyone know it. Please share your idea and experience here.
    thanks.

  • Is there ANY form of PhotoShop software that I can buy/download onto my Windows Vista Home Premium computer?

    I am well aware adobe does not usually support Vista.  However, I need PhotoShop to continue my work off campus while on an internship.  I honestly don't care if it's CC or elements, but I need some program that lets me edit photos.  I don't want to jump the gun though and buy some CD or download software that ends up not compatible.  I apologize if this is an odd request.  If someone asks me why I still have Vista, the answer is basically this:
    1) This is a 5-6 year old computer and that's the program it came with at the time (and that I'm used to)
    2) As a university student, my biggest fear of switching over to Windows 7 or 8 is that they are not "user friendly" as some people have put (again, student here so the LAST thing I want is to not be able to find all my documents again...my Dad is currently having this problem with Windows 8)
    3) I'm not too keen on upgrading to Windows 7 or 8 UNLESS it's a last resort AND I don't have to copy everything on my computer onto a hard-drive and then move it back over after upgrading (I'm not that tech savy so I'm afraid I will mess something up)
    I apologize again if this sounds strange or anxious of me, but I really would like to continue helping the faculty at my school buy working on this project (they're already dealing with issues of setting up the MAC there to work with the new website).  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Itunes and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit

    I just purchased a HP TouchSmart with Vista Home Premium 64bit system.I have itunes loaded but after about 10 min. after i connect my ipod to it it locks up the computer completely. I have tried itunes on 2 identical computers and got the same results.
    I also did a restore on the ipod and it still does the same thing. Any help will be appreciated.bobwire

    Just an update, though it's more of a (non) update.
    I'm not sure how but I managed to get it working.
    After doing the things mentioned above, I tried a system restore but that didn't work and seemed to throw more error messages my way. Then I ran AppleSoftewareUpdater.exe and it gave me red X errors with no details, I assumed the install failed completely.
    Following this, I manually downloaded and tried to install the latest version again but it said iTunes was already installed. At this point I'm far past annoyed.
    So, I click on iTunes and now everything works.
    I wish I knew what actually fixed the problem so others could benefit if they're experiencing the same thing....hence why I say, (non)-update.  
    Anyways,
    Take care Everyone

  • Issues Using iTunes with Windows Vista 64bit

    Wondering whether anyone has faced below mentioned problems and any suggestions thereof:
    1.Most of times when I launch iTunes, the UI does not appear for many minutes, sometime extending to 5 - 10 minutes. I could see iTunes running in the Windows Task Manager, but without the UI appearing. Sometime relaunching the application does the trick, but most of the doesn't.
    2.When I connect iPod (Classic), iTunes sort of freezes up, again sometime extending to multiple of minutes. In that process it also freezes up other applications e.g. Firefox browser. I cannot do anything on my laptop during that time.
    Any help
    Message was edited by: sxpod

    Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
    Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.
