  • Data Execution Prevention (DEP) Message - Please Help!!

    I have been trying to download iTunes since yesterday. I finally completed the download this morning and was beginning to install in onto my PC, when I received a Data Execution Prevention(DEP) Message. Because of this, I was unable to complete the installation process, and now it appears I have hit a roadblock. My son is desperately wanting to use his iPod, but I am at a complete loss as to what to do next. If anyone has ever encountered this problem and can tell me how to proceed, my son and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

    Can you do the repair for iTunes as well and see whether you are still getting the message.
    If that does not work,you have to follow steps below to uninstall and reinstall Itunes & QuickTime.
    Step 1: Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall iTunes and QuickTime from your computer without leaving any traces of these programs on your computer. Also, uninstall any third party codecs(like K-Lite Codec) installed on your computer using the Programs and Features wizard from the Control Panel.
    Removing iTunes, QuickTime and other software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note: The link above also have instructions to re-install iTunes and QuickTime. Do not re-install it as of now.
    Step 2: Download and install the latest version of iTunes
    www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Step 3: Uninstall QuickTime from Programs and Features
    Once you install iTunes, by default you'll have QuickTime installed on your computer. You'll have to uninstall QuickTime from Programs and features.

    Step 4: Download and install the Standalone version of QuickTime

    Now check if you’re able to execute iTunes without having any problem.

  • Can't open itunes due to data execution prevention error

    I am currently unable to open itunes due to a data execution prevention error.  I have tried to clear temp files, uninstall and reinstall and nothing seems to work.  I tried to disable DEP for itunes but nothing seems to work.  Can anyone help me?

    Try the following, one at a time:
    1. First Repair QuickTime.  START/CONTROL PANEL/ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS/highlight QUICKTIME, click REMOVE, then select REPAIR.
    Now test your itunes and see if you still have this problem
    2. If you have Codec installed, please uninstall it and test out your iTunes.
    3.  If all that fail, scan your system for possible Windows system file corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"  (for Win XP-just click command prompt)
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
    Open iTunes and see if problem resolved.

  • Itunes continues to crash and I get the Data Execution Prevention error from Windows and it shuts down. How do I fix my Itunes?? This startes happening after the Itunes update

    Itunes continues to crash and I get a Data Execution Prevention error.

    Vista 64 bit
    Many thanks. If you're still not launching after your complete uninstall/reinstall, we'll go searching for old QuickTime componentry stashed in non-standard locations on the PC.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    When I am making a new e-mail and trying to attach a document(Word, Wordperfect or pdf file, an error occures because of the Data Execution Prevention and crashes the program? What need to be done to correct this issue. I was able to do this a few weeks ago with no problem.

  • Data Execution Prevention error

    I updated itunes on my computer and now everytime i try and start up itunes it gives me a Data Execution Prevention window, saying it will not allow itunes to start because it is protecting my computer.  I am running Windows XP Service pack 3.  My Quick Time still works.  I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling but that didn't work. Can anyone help me fix this?

  • DEP (Data Execution Prevention) Error

    I was prompted to upgrade Quicktime, and did so. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. Got an error during install about DEP preventing the install. Windows Help says to try and see if a DEP-compatible version of the program is available by visiting the software publisher's website. I can find nothing about this at apple support. Anyone had this problem? I have uninstalled Quicktime, and was hoping to just find an older version to re-install...

    Of course, after I posted, I found an older version for download (olderversion.com) and have done so and all is well! thanks!

  • Adobe Flash Player 11.9 r900 constantly crashes with a data execution prevention error.

    This happens with almost every website I go to.

    Hi moreofless, did a separate crash dialog indicate that it was a DEP error (sometimes the Windows crash dialog will indicate this)?
    In some cases a DEP error can indicate that malware is attempting to interact with Flash, or that the Flash media you were using was malicious. It may be worth running a few supplemental scans just in case. The support article has suggestions on free tools that have proven reliable for Firefox users: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    A common problem on Windows Vista and higher is incompatibility with the protected mode feature of the Flash Player plugin. Usually this leads to frequent, unsubtle problems, so you might not have this problem, but just in case, you could disable it.
    See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    Or if there are problems with permission, try this way:
    (1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    ''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
    (2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
    '''''Note:''' If you do not see file extensions such as .ocx, .dll, .exe, and .cfg on the files in this folder, then Windows may be hiding these from you. In order to work with file names accurately, it is best to unhide the extensions. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].''
    (A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
    (B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
    (3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad.
    Add this on its own line (I put it last):
    ProtectedMode=0
    Save the file and close Notepad.
    (4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
    This change will take effect once the Flash plugin is completely unloaded, which may require exiting and restarting Firefox (allow a few minutes for all the Flash processes in memory to terminate after exiting Firefox).

  • ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention FIX

    I have been getting a "Vista Data
    Execution Prevention" error message whenever I closed iTunes for months
    now, and after reading through a few forums, I have found a solution
    that works.  It only takes two minutes.  Long story short:
    1) Start iTunes
    2) Open the Windows Task Manager
    3) Go to the "Proccess" Tab
    4) Find "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" and right click on it.
    5) Select "Properties" from the drop down menu
    6) Go to the "Compatibility" Tab
    7) Check the Box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
    8) If "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is not in the field below, click on the down arrow and select said option.
    9) Click on "OK" to close the window.
    10) Close the iTunes application
    11) Reopen the iTunes application
    12) Close the iTunes application again.
    At this point you should not see anymore "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error messages when you close iTunes!
    P.S. 
    If you want to go back and de-select running
    "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" in Windows XP Compatibility mode, you
    can.  Though this part is totally optional.  The next time you close
    iTunes, you will get one last "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error
    message, but don't worry, it will be the last one.  Try opening iTunes
    again and then closing it, and TaDa, no more error messages.  I don't
    know why running AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32 in compatibility mode
    JUST ONCE solves the problem, but it worked for me.
    Happy new year \o/

    Welcome tocguy. If I may ask you a question: How much memory does your Vista x64 PC have? I have 3 GB, which is the maximum that 32-bit Vista can recognize, but I seem to recall that 64-bit Vista can utilize much more than that, and wonder if that might be why 64-bit users are scarce in the 11.2 thread.
    I have now also done a truly clean reinstall, deleting Apple folders in ProgramData and each user account's AppData folder, and even the iTunes folders in each user's Music folder. Of course I moved my iTunes Media folder to a safe location first, and one iTunes Library backup file suitable for version 11.1.5. I also cleaned the registry. The most I can say is that I sometimes don't get a BEX upon closing iTunes now, but usually I do. I deselected one default setting during installation, "Use iTunes as the default player for audio files." (If an audio file can be opened by Media Player 11, why would I want to open it in a program that gives me a BEX nearly every time I use it? Too bad my AAC files purchased at iTunes Store can't be opened by WMP, but I certainly won't be buying any more of those now.) My advice to other Vista users: Don't waste your time reinstalling, it won't solve the DEP problem.
    Ran the Program Compatibility Wizard to run iTunes in XP SP2 compatibility mode, but abandoned that idea after the first BEX.
    Thought I was onto something when I tried the registry fix at http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/17/to-dep-or-not-to-dep.aspx. Johnny DEP thought he was so slick when he saw iTunes listed as an exception in his DEP tab, but there was one minor problem (yes I did reboot):
    Oh well, it's probably a bad idea to allow buffer overruns anyway. The fact that this didn't work causes me to think that Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit or Application Compatibility Toolkit would also be a waste of time. Vista users who wish to avoid BEX errors can either downgrade their iTunes (free) or upgrade their Windows (not free).

  • ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention

    I just did a clean install of iTunes 12.0.1 after removing 11.4 and other components as described in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 with 3 GB RAM. Soon after closing the iTunes GUI, I get a Data Execution Prevention notification:
    I have already tested with every DEP setting except AlwaysOff, which would globally disable an important Windows security feature and is therefore not to be recommended. The problem is apparently a Buffer Overflow Exception. Here are the details from one instance:

    This is actually not a new problem. As an experienced user of 32-bit Vista, I would have to say that the last compatible iTunes version was 11.1.5. See also Windows Vista problem reports after latest Itunes 11.2 update.

  • Data Execution Prevention on Twain Network Scanner

    Hello users
    I try to scan with a Twain driver to a Lanier scanner. The driver supports Vista. Scanning used to work perfectly on XP. Now under Vista I get the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) message which shuts down the Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro. Scanning with "Microsoft Office Document Scanning" works well.
    What can I do except disabling DEP?
    Tank you a lot for your help.
    Best wishes

  • "Data Execution Prevention Problems" with Adobe 9.3 (Win)

    Dear All:
    I have recently submitted some applications with an Australian university, and this university has difficulties
    opening my MAC-generated PDF Portfolio. They keep insisting that there may be a virus, and I keep pointing
    out that maybe some of the bundled PDF files that seek a full-screen mode might cause this alarm in the
    Windblows context.
    The screen-shots they have sent me say this:
    1) Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows
    To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program
    Name: Adobe Reader 9.3
    Data Execution Prevention helps protect against damage from viruses and other security threats. What should
    I do?
    2) Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
    For more information about this error, click here
    Now the only solution is for me to go somewhere and print out these PDF files, and then snail-mail them to HR;
    the "paperless office" idea has never worked very successfully, and now I have confirmation.
    Any help would be much appreciated. I never recall generating a virus on my MAC ....

    i have windowsXP and i downloaded Itunes now that i try to open itunes i'm getting an error message about Data Execution Prevention. Please let me know what to do to be able to open itunes...

    You came from the correct article. Here is what it has to say about that error.
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.
