From Bad to Worse to Unusable the iTunes and Vista story

I have been trying to run iTunes on Vista for about 6 months.
First with some effort it ran and worked.
Then the "update" came.......had to re-install iTunes to get it working again
Then the "update" came.......could listen to music, but not rip any longer
Then the "update" came.......7.6.2.9
Now all I get is this lovely box saying "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
I have uninstalled and re-installed for the entire day in all combinations.
So I am looking for some one with ideas.....I am holding off my kids and their 3 iPods and haven't even considered telling my wife she can't update her music
Are not "updates" suppose to resolve usability issues????? Maybe I am just confused.
Signed Open to ideas

Have you seen this article?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304424
Also are you running Norton 360 or some other security software? Try turning that off next time you install/upgrade iTunes. And make sure to run the install from your hard drive, not over the internet.

    I cannot log on to my Comcast e-mail from my IMac anymore.  This is a new issue, recently I had to delete cookies from my system in order so my email wasn’t frozen, but over the past few days it has went from bad to worse.  I am able to enter my login information, but it just goes right back to the home page.  Any suggestions…maybe I deleted something else in the process.

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

    My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

    If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
    If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    The use family sharing to share apps
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
    Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • After installing the update I get this message on an app from facebook "502 Bad Gateway nginx" what is the issue and what do I need to do to solve the issue?

    Hi there, harleygirl.
    A look around the internet and my previous knowledge indicates this is not an issue with firefox, but with how the server that the app is run on is incorrectly configured. To test this, please install an old version of firefox. You can download an older version from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html then try to visit the website again. Please let us know if it turns out that it works with version 3.6

  • I want to cancel my account from the iTunes and all my bank information

    i want to cancel my account from the itunes and all my bank information

    Contact Apple customer service by sending an email through the Contact Us link at the bottom of the Apple.com iTunes support page. Let them know you want to cancel an iTunes account and they'll contact you for further information. However, note that if you choose this option, it may also hinder your ability to access the purchases you've previously made, particularly on computers that weren't authorized before you cancelled the account.

  • Is there a way to use the photos from iphoto in a collage like the itunes artwork screensaver?

    is there a way to use the photos from iphoto in a collage like the itunes artwork screensaver?

    Yes except i would like it to look like the itunes album artwork screen saver does.  the itunes album artwork screen saver shows a bunch of squares and when one of the boxes changes it spins and goes to the next album artwork
    what you have indicated above is kind of like a slide show where it shows you one of your pictures and zooms out to show you a collage version of another one of your pictures.  i would like it to be formatted similar to the way the itunes screen saver is.
    if you click on itunes artwork on the same menu as shown in your last post, you will see what i am trying to achieve.

  • I was having ios 4.3 and decided to upgrade to ios 5 and in doing so I lost all my apps despite I restored from my earlier back up. The itunes I've backed up is different from the itunes I have used to upgrade-..

    I was having ios 4.3 and decided to upgrade to ios 5 and in doing so I lost all my apps despite I restored from my earlier back up. The itunes I’ve backed up is different from the itunes I have used to upgrade….. I was wondering if I can get back my apps that were purchased using different apple ID (not mine). Since I am in Ethiopia doesn’t even have the chance to buy it again. I have searched it in my computer/c/user/adminstrator….but couldn’t find it. Anyone p/l help

    When I updated my iPhone to IOS 5, I did it from my MB Air, when my iPhone's "home" is my work 27" iMac. I figured I could just download the new OS at home where internet is fast and then sync at office and be done. 
    WRONG!!!  So, like others here, all my apps were "gone."
    Following some of what I read above, I did the following and now all my apps that I purchased in the past are downloading to my 27". 
    In iTunes I went to Purchased, under "Store" in left column of iTunes.
    Then at the bottom of the Purchased screen was something like Download all apps, borrom right (sorry, cant see it now, its downloading all of them).  Once I hit that, I could see all my apps and it looks like they are all coming back.
    Now all I have to do is put them all like I had them before, folders, etc.  That will be a pain BUT at least I have all of them.

  • HT4623 when i finished downloading a usb cable and itunes logo appered so i plugged it in the itunes and it said i should take it out from recovery by restoring it.it took 3 hours but at last it didnt download what should i do?

    when i finished downloading a usb cable and itunes logo appered so i plugged it in the itunes and it said i should take it out from recovery by restoring it.it took 3 hours but at last it didnt download what should i do?

    Try holding the home and lock buttons until the iPad reboots. If it does not start up normally, then you will have to restore. To avoid any longer downloads, go to here: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/download-ipad-ipsw-files.php
    and look for your iPad and download the latest firmware. When done downloading, make sure the file is in a easy place to get to. Then, go on iTunes and connect your iPad. Hold your shift key, and press restore. Locate the .ipsw firmware and restore. Make sure no programs are open during the restore proccess as it may interfere.

  • If i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

    if i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

    It depends on how the developer chooses to release the new version. If they release it only as an update to the existing app in the iTunes Store then no, you won't have to buy it again. If they release it as a new app - usually they'll change the name slightly - then you will have to buy it again.

  • I owe 27 dollars on itunes and i got a 25 dollar itunes card if i were to update my account with my new credit card would the 27 dollars be deducted from my credit card or would the itunes gift card pay for the 25 and my card would pay for the $2 left.

    Generaly, if you have an iTunes card and a valid credit card, you have the option of charging your purchases to eiher one or the other?  By default, it goes to your iTunes card, but you can override that.

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.
