FYI The latest update wipe out my Windows user info resulting in a locked computer. had to restart in safe mode and restore my system. Basiclly it killed my whole computer. If I was not a programmer , fixing it would have been nearly impossible.

The new apple itunes update . corrupted or deleted my user profile in Windows 7 home premium.resulting in a locked computer with no way of getting into windows.

Never heard of that happening before and given the way the OS works that should not be possible. Sounds like something was awry with your computer before you started the process.
What program did you write to fix it and in what language? You might want to share this with Microsoft so they can look into it further.

  • Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hi OnceBeforeIDie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take a look at the article below, it has some some tips that will resolve a performance issues like the one you described.

    The last update failed on
    my window 7 home prermium pc, resulting in me having to try it manually download and install,
    this also failed leaving my I tunes not working, I tried restore back to a
    safer date, but every time it tried to update it failed. eventually it told me
    to delete and reinstall, this fails due to the apple mobile device service
    failing to start, and asking me if I have sufficient privileges to start system
    service, I have tried all suggestions on iTunes page, ie delete everything to
    do with apple, and start as administrator, nothing works, help please

    I too have tried the latest iTunes (12.1.1.4) in Win7. I did a search for latent drivers as you noted but found none. I am glad it worked for you - I'm still no-joy at this point. I'm able to install AMDS over and over again, without issue - it just doesn't start then iTunes launch fails with Error 7. I have to manually remove it.
    I am able to connect my iPhone via USB cable and access my photo storage on the phone. I am just not able to install iTunes anymore. I have attempted resolution to this issue for almost two months now. Until that time, I was content with what was installed. It was only when the proverbial update box appeared that I attempted to 'update' my iTunes. WHAT A MISTAKE putting blind faith into an Apple request to update. I SUGGEST NOT TO UPDATE YOUR ITUNES IF IT IS RUNNING PROPERLY!
    I realize now, once again I might add, my reliance on software provided by others. It's like anything else, I shouldn't rely on just one method for anything. Time to search for a more pleasant alternative than Apple. Truly, when it worked, it was good at its job, but now that I am wasting time I am looking seriously at upgrading to another type of smartphone and media management software. Way too much trouble for anything as simple as this should be. I wonder, is this a result of another feud with Microsoft?

  • TS1717 While installing an the latest update to iTunes, my Windows program sent me a runtime error (R6034).  I can no longer open iTunes. Advice?

    While installing the latest updates to iTunes, the istallation stopped and Windows sent me a Runtime error (R6034) and suggests that I contact the applications support team.  A second message appears to tell me that I should reinstall iTunes. Error 7  (Windows error1114)  Any suggestions?

    I had the identical problem with Runtime Error R6034s starting this week (on 1/22/2014) when the latest iTunes update installed.  Tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes several times, but that didn't work.  Someone suggested deleting the update.  I found the "Apple Application Support" (93.2MB) update installed on 1/22, deleted it, reinstalled iTunes, and now iTunes seems to work OK.  I don't get the repeated Runtime Error R6034 and Error 7 message, have been able to access the store, and play my saved music OK.  My only concern is that the update will reappear and cause a repeat problem.

  • TS3694 itunes will not install on my laptop any more. The latest update seems incompatible with Windows Vista.

    The latest iTunes update will not install on my HP laptop with Windows Vista. There is a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error message and it will not load or set p.

    I reinstall Quicktime and it would not launch and gave me the same error messages.
    We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    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.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, 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.)

  • Why is the latest update maxing out my CPU

    After my Firefix updated the last time to 14.0.1, it has been totally unusable. As soon as it starts it just about maxes out my CPU's. Trying to do anything in it is impossible, menus take 4-5 seconds before they open. If I can get to a web site, trying to scroll down a web page takes several seconds to wait for each click to respond. Even typing in information takes several seconds between key strokes.
    I've been a long time user of Firefox, but this has been the worse update and I'm preparing to move to another browser.

    What kind of images are causing the problems?
    Did you check that it isn't caused by JavaScript that is running on those pages?

  • I need to delete the latest update. I don't know which one it is but it has screwed everything on Firefox up and I want it gone

    My dad updated a bunch of stuff on my computer including firefox and ever since then everything is terrible. I've lost all my bookmarks and history. None of my passwords are saved anymore. I need help. This is ridiculous, Firefox. Fix your crap before you make us put up with it.

    Can you tell me how to go back to the version of Firefox I had before. I'm sorry, I can't tell you which one it was, I never paid attention. I've literally been crying in frustration for hours and I'm not good with computer lingo and my dad is out of town for several days. Is there any way to go back to the other version?

    i'm sorry .i worded it wrong.i had 3.5 originally.(computer hadn't been online in at least 6 months.next time i got online it updated to 3.6.4 beta ok i understand beta.itsstill technically 3.6 version basically.i began having hangups,and firefox crashes.found it was firefox plug-in-container.exe so removed firefox.back to cnet got 3.6.3 no beta either still same probs.today it updated to 3.6.4 this time it doesn't say beta yet i'm still getting the crashes .i thought they new about the java 1.18 buggy version i read in the forum when i began having trouible.i see they fied to java 1.20 i got my adobe 10.1 update just lost on how to stop this.i HATE microsloth and bing and ie but i don't like this problem.thanks for your patience

  • Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Only way I can proceed is if either restart Firefox (very annoying) or reduce the window and open it again. Please help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    Google Chrome is a problem:

    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.

  • Since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

    since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

    The setting in "Tools > Options > Tabs" only works for links that would open in a new window.<br />
    That option allow you to divert such calls to a new tab.<br />
    For other links you either have to use a middle click or a Ctrl + left click or use the context menu.

  • When is Verizon going to fix all of the things they broke with the latest update?

    Dear Verizon Wireless,
        I have been a customer for many years and for the most part have been satisfied with your service, but what happened to my Note 3 after the latest update is unacceptable.  I see many people in this forum with similar issues that are getting stock answers that don't really address the issues, and show a lack of interest in solving the problems, and helping your customers.
         I received my Galaxy Note 3 at the end of March, and I loved it.  It was very reliable, fast, and I could go a whole day on the battery (Most of my days last at least 18 hours) making calls, streaming audio or video, even sharing my broadband connection with my tablet once in a while, and still show the battery was 50% charged.  Until I received the 4.4.2 update on May 17th.
    Immediately after the update (which I installed that morning, fresh off the charger) the battery only lasted until around 7 PM,  when I plugged it into the charger first it didn't recognize it was even plugged in, and later kept telling me that I should use the original charger and cable for better performance.
    The clock showed the time as an hour later, I had to manually set the time zone instead of using the "obtain time zone information from the network" feature.
    The alarm clock randomly decides not to go off, this morning at 9:30 it still showed the alarm was set to go off at 8 am, but didn't.
    Yesterday while a mile from my house I received a notification that I would be charged extra for data usage while roaming outside of the U.S. and asking did I want to use it or not, while It had already disable my data waiting for a response, this would be useful if I had been outside of the U.S. and not at home.
         Don't tell me that my 45 day old battery lost 80% of it's functionality overnight because periodically they need to be replaced, while that is true it happens gradually over time and not within a 24 hour period.  The other problems, while somewhat minor, are still annoying and detract from the reliability of this device.  Not getting up on time because the alarm is unreliable is a big issue, I've used the alarm on my phones for 15 years without serious issues, and today I will be buying an alarm clock..
         I've worked 30 years in the IT field, many of those helping people resolve technical issues and I know how to tell the different between user configuration issues and broken software, If you don't have a real answer to mine and other peoples concerns on this forum then maybe it is time to escalate this issue to someone that was involved with building this update.
         I don't want to restore my phone unless it will actually solve the issue and not "lets see what happens when you do", because it would take me hours to reconfigure all of the software on my device.  Removing the update is probably not an option, so what I really want to know is when will the update be pushed that will fix these issues?

        Frustrated_liz,
    Hearing about all of the issues going on is upsetting to me, and so I can only imagine how you're feeling. I'm sorry you have to go through this experience. How hot is the phone getting? Hearing about it overheating is a huge safety concern and I'm worried. Have these service issues been going on since you got the phone?
