Data Execution Prevention in Vista prevents itunes from running. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?

Is there no solution to this problem? The Windows site says keep checking the Apple site to get a version of iTunes that is compatible with the issues between the Data Execution Prevention in Windows Vista and any of the later versions of iTunes. Problem is, IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT APPLE REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. If there is a solution, or a patch that can be downloaded, or anything, I would really appreciate knwoing about it. The last time I had this problem was when I updated to iTunes 10.0. It took most of 3 weeks to figure out a fix for that. Now, I have a new phone, and it will not sync unless itunes 10.5 or later is installed. I tried updating to that, and now I'm back to square one with the DEP problems. Please help!!!! thanks!!

OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer.
Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update

Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

I updated to iTunes 10.5 on Vista. As with iTunes 10.0, The DEP will not allow iTunes to open. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? I can't update my telephone or iPod. I can't even open the iTunes program!!!

I am sick of dealing with this issue. I wish not that I had never even started using any Apple products, beginning with iTunes. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND MAKE ITUNES SOMEHOW COMPATIBLE WITH DEP IN WINDOWS VISTA?
That being said, Is there any way to resolve this? What I did in the past is completely wipe ALL Apple files from my computer, and install an older version of iTunes. It was at least functional. It seems that any version of iTunes 10.0 or more recent is not compatible with the Data Execution Prevention in Windows. You can not remove iTunes from DEP, yet DEP prevents iTunes from running.
The down side is that I can't get the latest updates for my iPhone or iPod. Now, I have a new phone for my husband that needs syncing on my iTunes, and I can't do that because iTunes won't even open.
Can somebody help me out with this, please?

Speak for yourself. I am not experiencing any such issues on either of my computers running iTunes.
Generaly not a good idea to assume everyone is having the same issue, unless you like looking like a fool.

How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?

My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari? Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?

Hmm.. probably not.
You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
Good luck.

My iTunes songs won't drag when using wacom tablet mouse. When is Apple going to fix this?

My iTunes songs won't drag when using wacom tablet mouse. When is Apple going to fix this? Wacom says apple was made aware of this as long ago as July 2011.

no one in here knows when Apple is going to fix it. We are just users like you and have no more access to information than anyone else, including you.

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.)

Something called Data Execution Prevention shuts Reader down when I try to print.

I've had this problem with Reader X & Reader 9. I'm running Vista oc and whenever I try print a pdf a message comes up that says Adobe Reader has stoped working correctly and is being shut down by windows. Then another message appears saying that Adobe Reader was shut down by Data Execution Prevention in order to protect the computer from damage. I tried to remove Adobe Reader from the list of programs turned on for DEP and got a message stating that Adobe Reader has to run with DEP and DEP cannot be turned off for it. Anyone know how to work around this?

I have the same issue with Adobe Reader X and Windows Vista Home Premium.
Could someone please post information on this issue??

How do I prevent iTunes from opening when I pug in my iPod?

How do i prevent tunes from opening when i plug in my ipod?

This will occur when there are photos and/or videos in the Camera Roll, which should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Depending on the iPhoto version you are running, this can be done via iPhoto preferences > connected camera opens > select no application.

How to prevent iTunes from launching when iPad is connected?

I don't want iTunes 11.0.1 to launch every time I connect my iPad (3rd generation, running iOS 6.0.1) to my Mini. I want to decide if I want iTunes, and then, if I do, launch it manually. How may this be accomplished?
Notes:
1. iTunes .. Preferences .. Devices ==> "Prevent ... from syncing automatically" is UNchecked.
2. (in iTunes while connected) iPad .. Summary .. Options ==> "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" is UNchecked.
3. When iTunes auto-launches, it does NOT sync. It "mounts" the iPad and then sits idle.
TIA for any ideas,
Mark

Found the answer via Bing:
http://www.brighthub.com/computing/hardware/articles/72004.aspx
With the iPad connected and (at least in my case) iTunes NOT running, start the program "Image Capture" (mine is version 6.1). In the lower left will be a label "Connecting this iPad opens:" and below that label is a drop-down box which, in my case, was set to iTunes (don't ask me how), and I have since changed to "No application".
Gee, that was obvious.

How can I prevent iTunes from opening when Firefox is open, when the computer is not used for a few minutes?

iTunes opens on my screen if Firefox is on, with page minimised or with current page open, if I do not use the machine for a few minutes. I can't find anything to turn this off.

When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
"You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

How do I keep Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP) from repeatedly closing Firefox?

Problem started after I installed the last Firefox update. I will be on line then Firefox is shut down and I get a message in a small window that it was shut down Windows DEP which is a security feature in Vista. After a time lapse of several minutes and a reboot of the computer Firefox will start working again but eventually it is shut down again after executing an enter, send, delete or other such command.

Can't prevent iTunes from starting when I connect my iPhone

I primarily connect my iPhone 4 to an iMac at home, on which pretty much all of my content is stored. It's set up to sync wirelessly. Until recently, I synced my calendar and contact data to Outlook on my work computer, which is a PC running Windows XP. We recently switched to an Exchange server for calendars and contacts, and my backups sync to the cloud, so I don't need to sync anything at work anymore. I still connect the phone to the computer to charge it and to upload (not sync) photos, but there's no reason to run iTunes, so I unchecked the "Open iTunes when this phone is connected option".
The problem is that when I connect the phone, it still starts iTunes and goes through a "sync". I have nothing selected to sync, but it copies "Safari safe browsing data", whatever that is. When I look, the "Open iTunes ...." box is again checked. If I uncheck it again, the same thing happens again.
My computer's a bit underpowered, so starting a process I don't want to is kind of annoying, and I'd like to stop this.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Finally figured this out. I had assumed that the "start iTunes" option was separate for each computer, but apparently, it's a single option. I had accidentally left it on at home, and since it syncs via WiFi every time I connect it to a charger, this always overwrote what I did at work. Once I turned it off at home, it stayed off in both places.

DEP prevents itunes from running

I have marked Itunes as an exception to DEP and DEP is still catching it and not allowing it to run. Have latest itunes installed. Using Windows XP professional. Have ESET as my anti-virus/firewall.

Thank you. This did work! ITunes now opens successfully.
I have another issue within iTunes, but I will make a new post for that.
Thanks again - I realliy appreciate your help! BR

Preventing iTunes from launching when connecting iPhone?

I just want to put my iPhone in the cradle to charge it, not sync it or open any apps or anything else. Just charging. I have turned off the "automatic sync" feature in iTunes, so at least it doesn't sync every time i put my phone back, but I would really like to be able to not having to close iTunes all the time. It was easy fixing the auto-launch for iPhoto - is there a similar (or any, for that matter) that can fix the same thing for iTunes? Thx.
(BTW, I have all the software upgrades possible.)

There is a couple ways to accomplish this
1. In the Summary screen uncheck automatically sync. Keep in mind you will now how to tell it when to sync.
2. If you go to iTunes Preferences, then Syncing. You and Disable Syncing of any devices connecting to iTunes. And you will have to manually press the button to sync
Hope this helps
