Data Execution Prevention message...

I am getting a message from MS Windows:
Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows
"To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program."
Name: Adobe Reader 9.3
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
I already have added this program to the DEP section under "System Properties" -> Advanced -> Performance "Settings" -> Data Execution Prevention ->
I don't know what else is going on? Thank you all in advance.

  • Installed itunes on xp but when started I get 'Data Execution Prevention' message

    Have downloaded iTunes to XP but when i start the program all I get is an error text box with Data Execution Prevention message. We are running Firefox with AVG Anti Virus if this helps?
    Thanks

    Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • HT201413 suddenly itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention" is blocking itunes from opening....why????

    itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" feature in Windows is preventing it from opening. (this is after I've been using itunes for years???? If I try to manually deselect itunes from the DEP filter, of course I get a message that itunes cannot operate without the DEP active...another Catch 22 from the evil program designers....

    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.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • 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.

  • Data execution prevention error message

    Hi
    iTunes launched normally but when I closed it, data execution prevention error message appeared.  I am running Vista.  Please help.

    Hi,
    Same issue, running Vista too.  This problem is recent.  It may be due to the last itunes update.  itunes 11.2.23

  • HT2292 Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12 start itunes and it is closed, message reads I tunes closed to help protect computer, data execution prevention has closed itunes. windows Vista 32bit

    Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12. Start itunes and it is closed with the message itunes closed to help protect computer data execution prevention has closed itunes. operating system is ms vista 32 bit. I have followed the procedures that I can find on the itune support site.

    You're welcome. Glad you got things sorted out.
    (No problem about not spotting the solutions ... the most common causes of this sort of message changes over time, so it's not straightforward to be able to tell when a given piece of advice still applies to the symptoms. Definitely worth posting to try to get a current heads-up on the likely contemporary causes of a particular error message.)

  • What to do when you get an error message about data execution prevention

    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.

  • Is there a Data Execution Prevention compatable version of iTunes?  I have reinstalled iTunes 10.5 at least 10 times, and after it installs, it will not open because of DEP.

    I have tried all the advice I have seen on Apple Support discussion boards for the past 2 days, and nothing works.  Disabling DEP is not possible, regardless of what the Windows Support discussions tell you.  In the meantime, I have absolutely no access to iTunes, or even the ability to update my iPhone or iPod.  The only feasable solution is the possibility of a version of iTunes that is compatable with Data Execution Prevention settings. 
    In the past 2 days, I have:  Removed iTunes and related components from the Control Panel (numerous times)  Per the instructions on Apple Service discussions pages, I did it in this order.  1. iTunes  2. QuickTime  3. Apple Software Update  4. Apple Mobile Device Support 5. Bonjour ^. Apple Application Support.  After all that, I reinstalled iTunes. 
    Everything looks fine during installation, with no error messages.  At the end, it says everything was successfully installed.  However, when the installation tool closes, iTunes will only partially open a window, but will stay blank.  Then I get the message that iTunes has stopped working and that Windows has shut it down.  Then I get notified that DEP has caused iTunes to shut down. 
    Can someone please help?  Or, is there a DEP compatible version of iTunes? 
    I would appreciate any help.  Thanks!!

    Polydorus,
    Thank you for your kind reply.  During the many times I uninstalled iTunes, and all the other Apple programs, I only used the Uninstall Programs in Windows Control Panel.  To make a long story short, I found a solution that works for me, but it is still not a complete soluton.
    Here is what I did:
    I used Uninstall Program in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall everything IN THIS ORDER
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support
    Then I went to C:\Program Files and looked for any iTunes or Apple program listed there and deleted it.
    I have 64-bit, so I then went to C:\Program files (x86) and looked for any iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour or any other file or folder that had Apple or any Apple program in the name and deleted it.
    I went to C:\Windows|SysWOW64\Quicktime  and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuicktimeVR and deleted them
    Go back to START, and open the "C" drive.  Open the USERS folder.  Open the folder with your username.  Open the AppData folder.  Then double-click on the LOCAL folder to open it.  If you see any files or folders there that show any Apple program or file, delete those files or folders.  Then go to the REMOTE folder and do the same.  If there are any other users on this computer, go to each individual user and do the same thing in each LOCAL and REMOTE folder.  Restart your computer.
    Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ This is the page where you will actually download iTunes.  Scroll down the page to the section under "Windows Software"  that says "64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer".  Click on that line to get the installer.  It will take you to another download window.
    Scroll to the bottom of the page to the message that says "Download for iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows (64-bit) here: iTunes for Windows 64-bit."  Click there to get the download.
    This is not iTunes 10.5, so you will not have access to "The Cloud", but it is at least functional until Apple actually comes out with a version that will not activate the DEP message.  There was no combination of uninstalling and reinstalling, with or without Quicktime, with 10.5 that did not cause problems with Data Execution Prevention problems that I found.
    I also used Firefox for the downloading instead of Internet Explorer.  It just seemed to function better that way.
    I hope this is helpful to someone.  It's just what worked for me.   

  • Exchange performance and Data Execution Prevention

    Hi
    Is there any impact on Exchange server performance related to (DEP) Data Execution Prevention ? Should I exclude Exchange processes from DEP ?
    I searched for any blog/forum post that would discuss this subject but had no luck finding any.
    Regard,

    Hi Grzegorz,
    Data Execution Prevention is a Windows feature, not an Exchange server feature.
    DEP is enabled on computers that are running Microsoft Windows Server by default.
    In our lab, we often turn it on. Sometimes it can resulting that messaging performance is slower than expected. Besides, there is no official articles or blogs to explain how the Data Execution Prevention affect Exchange performance.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.

  • 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).

  • Data Execution Prevention will not allow iTunes to open.

    This started when I plugged in my iPhone to update it.  Data Execution Prevention closed the program then, and I can't open it again.  I have completely deleted all Apple programs from my computer.  I deleted all temporary files, defraged my hard drive, ran virus protection, restarted my computer and downloaded iTunes 10.0 AGAIN for at least the 10th time.  It always appears to install correctly, but when iTunes is supposed to open afterthe install tool closes, I get the "iTunes has stopped working. Winidows is checking for a solution" message.  Then Windows automaticly closes iTunes and I get the message that DEP has closed iTunes.
    Prior to trying to update my iPhone (which started all this) I was running iTunes 9.  I never had any problems with it.  (Is there somewhere I could go to download this version?)
    At the moment, I do not have Quicktime installed because I deleted it, and it was not installed the last time I installed iTunes.  iTunes still will not open.
    I enabled myself as administrator, and moved other users to "Standard" in the Vista User Account Control. 
    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  Apple only gives the option of installing the 64-bit version of iTunes.
    Is this just a bug in the iTunes update, or what.  I would really appreciate any help I could get with this.  I have been reading suggestions and solution on these boards for the past 2 days, and nothing has worked so far.
    Thanks!

    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.
