How do you associate the itms protocol to iTunes in Windows Vista?

Apparently when iTunes installed on Windows Vista it didn't properly associate the itms protocol. So when I click on a store link from a web browser it brings up an error in Firefox about the itms protocol not being associated with an application. Similarly a link in IE7 will just redirect to the iTunes download page.
How do I add this protocol in manually?

This forum focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows, not iTunes. You'll probably want to repost your question in the iTunes discussions:

    Okay I too have been plagued by this problem on two different machines, 1 is vista Enterprise 32 bit and another is Vista Ultimate x64 bit, however both have the exact same problem. I just fixed the problem on my 32bit enterprise machine and I am assuming the same fix will work for my 64bit when I have time to try tomorrow.
    If your problem is the same as mine, you are not able to access itms, itmss or itpc protocols from neither FireFox or IE under vista, this may apply to other windows OS versions but so far the majority seem to be vista.
    First let me rant, I think it is a quality/permissions issue and is a matter of either apple not adding quotes in the 3 protocol registry entries or Microsoft not allowing apple the appropriate permissions to change those settings when you upgrade to a new version of iTunes. So none the less it is ridiculous no matter what the reason is and there is no excuse that something so simple has to be solved by Joe average and not resolved by either one of these companies.
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    SOLUTION AS FOLLOWS:
    NOTE: As always back up your system restore point and make a
    copy of the registry or the sections of the registry
    you are editing!!!
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    You need permissions set to the following registry paths under
    HKEYCLASSESROOT\itms\shell\open\command
    HKEYCLASSESROOT\itmss\shell\open\command
    HKEYCLASSESROOT\itpc\shell\open\command
    You may not see these as you reset permissions and have to go as far as adding a new key under each registry key, then it will show you your newly added key (just delete) and then set the appropriate permissions to adminstrators group on each until you get down to the "command" key.
    Then once you are in the command key edit the following string that should show
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe /url "%1"
    and change it to...
    "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /url "%1"
    yes I know, ridiculous that it is a matter of quotes missing, but that is what fixed it for me.

    Good luck!

    How do you connects the same iPad to iTunes which is already synced with another computer

    You can only use one iTunes library at a time when you sync your devices. If you want to sync to a new computer now, look at this.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    And here is another helpful article.

  • How do you install the JDBC-OCI patch for a Windows NT4 IFS Installation?

    I am about to install IFS on a Windows NT4 Server. I dont understand the instructions for installing the JDBC-OCI patch.
    How do you install the JDBC-OCI drivers?
    Do I install them after installing Oracle 8.1.6? and before installing IFS?
    Is it necessary to install them?
    I would be grateful for as much help as possible, I have never done anything like this before.

  • How do you get the Tones tab on iTune so I can load a song on ringtones?

    How do I get the Tones tab on iTunes so I can load a song on ringtones? Any instructions on how to add a new ringtone?

    I looked into that, and you right.
    I will replace the Class.forName() with ClassLoader.loadClass() and instantiate a new ClassLoader everytime I need a new version of an existing class ( up to a limit of, say, 100 times, after which the server will notify the client that it has to be restarted before that class can be updated ).
    Now, another question: What happens when I load 10 different versions of "Msg404.class", using different loaders ?
    Will the JVM give me the latest version, when I instantiate Msg404.class ?
    ( That is what I would expect to happen ).
    Thanks, Fredrik.

  • How can you specify the height of an index page window?

    I want to control the height of an index page window when it
    loads.
    If you look at this page;
    http://www.farrowdesign.com/
    It has a fixed size onload.
    I'm trying to do a basic web page for a friend using
    dreamweaver.
    see here
    http://www.landscapesbyjonstollar.com/
    It's a series of horizontal landscape images which are all of
    the same height - I want the user to scroll to the right to view
    them usiing their browsers scroll bar.
    Can anyone clearly explain (I'm very new to this) how I might
    do this and if it's javascript - where I should paste the code.
    Thanks in advance

  • Photoshop cs6 - How do you stop the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window from appearing?

    EVERY time I open Photoshop CS6 I get the damn "Help Improve Adobe's Products" box appearing. I've clicked 'Participate' and answered all the questions ... I've pressed 'Do Not Participate' ... many times ! 
    The darn window still opens every time I open PS6 .... driving me nuts!!
    PS ... on a Mac ... in Australia.
    There must be a way of getting rid of it ...
    AND ... further ... on one of my machines ... my Mac Air ... for a while Photoshop CS6 would HANG completely (spinning beach ball) when the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window opened BUT with no text in the box ... yup ... CS6 hung when the box opened completely empty of text !!
    Would not like that to happen whilst on an assignment 'on the road' !!!
    Plaese advise !!! Thanks

    I am told MacKeeper causes problems. Hopefully you did not install that.
    The only idea remaining is to uninstall/clean/reinstall.
    Let's go over that:
    No need to deactivate, so skip that.
    In your CS6 folder is a shortcut to the uninstaller. I would like you to check "Remove Preferences" when you run the uninstaller.
    When that's done, download the CS-CC Cleaner for the Mac.  Run that.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    As far as your Mac goes, Run Disk Utility on your volume.
    Verify Disk
    Repair Permissions.
    Then reinstall CS6 and updates.
    It's is a "nuke and pave" approach, but if you do not want to be messing with internals you do not understand, it's the best way to go.

  • How do you edit the genre list in iTunes

    My genre list has become very random and I want to reduce it to the general Blues Jazz Rock Pop Classical, can anyone help?

    iTunes has a set list of genres programmed into it.  Other genres are added and deleted as you edit the genre fields of files.
    Discussion of general cleanup of genres - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3037638
    This is an older set of directions for editing the genres included in iTunes. I don't know if it still works with newer versions, and make sure you back up your computer before doing editing of this kind because unpredictable things can happen.

  • How do I update the iOS software on iTunes for Windows

    Hi all.
    The battery life in my phone was decreasing very quickly to the point where I have turned it off with 100% at night, and wake up in the morning to have it at 0%. So yesterday, after making a few calls I got to this nice man who explained to me that it was not a problem with the battery, but I needed to update to the latest version of iOS (generally fixes the problem). I don't have enough space (and cannot clear it), so he suggested another option. I would have to use iTunes. First he told me to upload my data to iCloud. As I have not done it before, it took a while, and it did not work for a while. He sent me the link of what to do via email (Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support) and hung up, after me thanking him. My cloud finally updated a little before 10PM GMT and I went to sleep. In the morning my battery was not dead, albeit it had only gone done by a few %. However, I still want to update to the newest software.
    I have the latest version of iTunes on my laptop and so this morning I plugged in my phone to my laptop (using the computer - phone plug). However I cannot see where to select my device. My phone is not coming up in any corner, and it is not charging when it is plugged into my laptop either (I read somewhere that it should). So my question is, how do I select my device. It is plugged in but it not coming up for me. Please be as explicit as possible.
    If it helps I have an iPhone 4s bought in December 2013.
    Thank you!

    I'm not sure if it should be here or in the iPhone usage forum.

  • How can I make the newest version of iTunes for Windows run faster?

    I know I'm not the only one when I say that iTunes is by far one of the slowest programs on my computer.  I'm running Windows 7 and running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows.  Does anyone have some tips to make it run faster and smoother?  I have Genius and Ping disabled, but I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

    The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.
    Do you get any error messages?

  • How do you fix error code 54 in iTunes for windows 8?

    Was trying to sync my music to my iPhone 5s and kept getting this error code 54. I wasn't understanding why it kept doing that and it was very irritating. Tried to sync my gf iphone 5 as well but kept getting the same thing. I did some research and people said it was locked files on my computer but I'm having a hard time finding these locked files and need help solving this problem. Please help me. I am running itunes on windows 8.

    Read lots of replies to this. I've just tried simply clicked "Turn Off Genius" under the Store menu and it seems to have worked for me. I already had ITunes Match turned off - not sure if that makes a difference.
    Not sure if this will work for everyone, but it's worth a go!

  • How can you change the import settings in iTunes 8?

    The option in "Advanced Preferences" to say what format you want to import tracks no longer seems to be available in iTunes 8. Where is it?

    I too have problems importing CDs. I get an error message that says, "Error occurred while converting the file, you do not have enough privileges". Being a very recent convert from PCs I am a relative novice I cannot find my way around this machine very well and do not know how to change the privileges. I have got as far as altering permissions in Get Info, and have done the Repair disk permissions in the Disk Utility, but to no avail. Can anyone help please, I have to rescue the situation before my wife throws the machine out the window and forces me back top the dark side!!

  • How do you fix the -1 error on itunes?

    So I go on to itunes and I try upgrading to iOS 7 and I get error -1, CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
