How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5.  Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software.  I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap.  I removed Bonjour and quicktime.  I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program.  After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5.  However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down.  I tried making a new user profile.  Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer.  The program again elicited a DPE error.  I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed.  Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue.  Please help.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • How can I prevent Firefox from shutting down to 5% when inactive?

    My computer (running Win8, FF 22.0, just installed) is set for maximum performance, which means it enters sleep mode only when I tell it to. But recently FF 21.0 and 22.0 has started shutting down to 5% of its normal operating memory use after as little as 60 seconds or so of inactivity. Then when I try to use it, it will SLOWLY reload, sometimes taking as long as 5 minutes or more! This is a relatively new behavior and a basically intolerable one. I cannot find any setting under Tools that addresses this, and the right click on the icon upper left now only deals with resizing. I do not want to go back to IE and have never liked Chrome at all, so I would hate to leave FF but I simply cannot continue to wait several minutes do do everything.

    At: “https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing Hidden menu bar:” the following appears. This reference was given in an earlier post here. My comments are added below inside << … >>>.
    "If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu." <<THIS CLEARLY SAYS “ORANGE BUTTON” AND THAT BUTTON SHOWS ON THE SCREEN SHOT, BUT THIS ORANGE BUTTON DOES NOT DO ANYTHING BUT OFFER “RESTORE, MINIMIZE, CLOSE”>>
    "To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key. "<<THIS DOES NOT WORK AT ALL>>
    "• To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu. "
    <<WHEN THE MENU BAR IS REMOVED, THERE IS A FIREFOX DROPDOWN MENU – NB NOT A BUTTON IN ANY NORMAL SENSE OF THAT WORD—BUT THE INVENTORY OF FUNCTIONS IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE MENU BAR’S INVENTORY AND THEREFORE NOT THE EQUIVALENT AT ALL.>>
    <<IT MAY WELL BE THAT THE WRITERS HERE ARE USING “BUTTON” IN A SLOPPY, IMPRECISE WAY (RATHER, IN TWO QUITE DIFFERENT WAYS) AND THE ORANGE ”BUTTON” THEY ARE REFERRING TO IS SOMETIMES IN FACT THE DROPDOWN MENU TAB, AND NOT THE ORANGE BUTTON AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH THEY WRITE “ORANGE BUTTON” AND DISPLAY A SCREEN SHOT WITH AN ORANGE BUTTON. IN ANY CASE NOTHING IN THIS WHOLE MESS IS ACCURATELY DESCRIBED.>>

  • Windows keeps shutting down iTunes because of Data Execution Prevention. is there a DEP version of iTunes?

    My iTunes program keeps shutting down shortly after loading.  I get an error from Windows stating that a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Then I get a message that states iTunes was closed because of Data Execution Prevention.  It states to find a version that allows DEP or change your DEP settings.  I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but still have an issue.  Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can use iTunes?

  • Disable "this program is preventing windows from shutting down"

    Hi
    My application, that I am porting from Embedded Standard (XP) to WES7 uses the standard power on/off switch of a PC to power on/off. I intercept the FormClosing event and cancel the OS from shutting down. I then display a dialog box in my program asking
    if the user wants to shut down the system. If they respond yes then I shutdown the system from within my code. This works fine on XP, but with WES7 you get the screen telling you "this program is preventing windows from shutting down". I then have
    to press 'Cancel' to get to my application as before. Does anyone know of a way to prevent WES7 from showing this message and allowing my program to block shutdown quietly.
    Many thanks
    Steve W

    pennbank is correct that holding the power button will stop the computer.  But it stops *all* processes mid-step, which can leave some of OSX in an incorrect state because of pending internal file updates that were killed.  I do not like to use that method if anything else will make it respond.  For example, once the computer was not responding when I was using a BT trackpad.  I eventually removed the batteries from the trackpad to force it dead, and the release of the BT channel freed the MBP.

  • Preparing move to trash preventing me from shutting down

    A window showing the message "Preparing to move to trash" runs constantly and is preventing me from shutting down my computer. The window is titled "Trash" and has a horizontal blue & white striped moving cylinder (like a sideways barber pole) and indicates there is 1 item to delete. I tried to force close but that does not work. Looking for a way to close this window. Thanks.

    Hi jholla, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    You're likely to have to Power down with the power switch, then do some repairs...
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
    If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

    I don't think it can do that. Only you can delete it.

  • The mail app on my macbook pro is preventing me from shutting down, how do I fix this?

    The mail app on my computer is open but nothing is displayed on the screen. When I go to shut down a small message appears saying "unable to shut down as mail is still open". However, when I try to close the mail app it won't let me. What do I do?

  • Mail keeps preventing me from shutting down

    This has happened a few time now that when I try to shut down or restart my computer it doesn't untill I force quit mail even though it doesn't freeze or crash it just keeps saying mail is preventing my computer from shutting down. When I ok that though mail doesn't show it's window when I click it in the dock and thats when I have to force quit it.
    I do keep mail as a seperate desktop or "space" but it works fine till I have to shut down. This doesn't happen all the time but its done it now and again, has this happened to anyone else?

    Yes, this has been going on for a while. If you open Window > Activity' from the Mail menu bar, you should see that what's happening is that its trying to close the connection with your webmail server.
    Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes it doesn't. I suspect its just down to the internet connection.

  • When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message.  I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started.  How do I fix this?

    In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
    It says:  "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
    "iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
    The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process. 
    Any advice????

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Microsoft Windows Error When Trying To Sync

    When trying to sync my 4th gen nano with iTunes I always get a error window that appears saying:
    "Do you want to scan and fix STEVE's NANO (F:)?"
    There might be a problem with some files on this device or dics. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files haven been written to it.
    * Scan and fix (recommended)
    * Continue without scanning
    If I select Scan and fix I get a message saying it could not access the file.
    If I continue without scanning sometimes it will sync, other times it won't.
    Have no problems with syncing my iPhone. Just the nano.
