How I fixed  bug with Windows VISTA & iTunes 7.3 software...

Okay guys, for a few weeks I've been posting about how my Windows Vista will not work with the iTunes software 7.3.
Many of you with Vista also have posted the same problems over and over and over with no real answers available to us.
Well, I have fixed my problem.
The last straw was last night when I desperately needed to burn something and obviously I couldn't because my CD/DVD Drive was "Missing".
All this morning I backed up all my files on my computer and reformatted my computer by choosing to set it back to factory settings. After 60 min. of this, after the 3 prior hours, my computer appeared brand new.
And sure enough, my CD/DVD Drive was there. Next, I went to my Roxio Easy CD Creator and sure enough, it also recognized my Drive as well. I had it burn a file and it worked.
Next, I went to an older Apple Downloads page, and Downloaded iTunes 6.0. Not anything but the lowest 6.
http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm
And guess what, it works as well with my Vista.
I loaded a CD Soundtrack, pulled a few tracks into a separate folder then burned them and checked them.
So, this is one option for you guys out there to try that gets an A+ from me. Yes, it has literally taken me all day and night, but everything is back to working order and I am finally happy!
Anything to get rid of that nasty Version 7, anything!

  • Lightroom bugs with Windows Vista

    I'm having difficulties with one of the file navigation controls in LR running under Windows Vista. The control that pops up with the import (choose files) function works fine, but the control that pops up with the add folder or create new library function misbehaves and causes LR to hang.
    I've logged a ticket with Adobe, tried all the standard workarounds (run as administrator, re-create preferences etc.), but to no avail. I think it is a bug.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions out there?

    What I've seen is that if you try to import from a card reader using the LR downloader, you get a list of files on the card and a message saying that they could not be imported. This also apparently damages the LR database because you cannot import even from a folder on the computer until you delete the database and create a new one. It happens in XP compatibility mode for me too. Otherwise, I have had no troubles using LR on my Vista machine. I can import from a card using another program's downloader and then import the folder into LR for editing.

  • How to format HDD with Windows Vista to install Windows XP

    Hi, i would like to format my Notebook and to put Windows XP, but when i tried to do the boot using the XP cd it doesn't recognize the HDD, the type of my HDD is SATA
    I believe that I should do download the special drivers, but i didn't find the drivers in toshiba webpage
    thanks

    Hi,
    I believe you need to get the sata controller drivers applicable to your laptop, onto a floppy disc.
    Refer to the following forum topic for instructions with the exception of where you get the drivers from:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25441
    To get the drivers for your laptop sata controller, try the following download from intel:
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/license_agr.aspx?url=/12769/a08/infinst_autol.zip&ProductID=2792&agr=Y&sType=&PrdM ap=&DwnldId=12769&strOSs=44&OSFullName=Windows*%20 XP%20Professional&lang=eng
    Then copy all the files beginning with ICH8 in the ALL folder of the download, to a floppy disc (refer to above forum topic).
    Hopefully this helps you out.

  • In the last hour, my (fully updated) browser has crashed more than half a dozen times. It has been this way since I performed the most recent upgrade, and I'd love to find out how to fix it. Windows Vista, FF 4.

    In any window, while using any application, the browser crashes and closes. I've attached the last 5 crash IDs. This is particularly vexing, as I work to deadline and am regularly losing huge blocks of text due to crashes between constant saves.
    Are there any available patches, fixes, etc, for this problem, or will this require straight uninstalling? I'm at a loss and appreciative of any help available.

  • I am using a PC with Windows Vista. I've been using iTunes on this computer for over 6 years. Suddenly I can not play any music on iTunes. I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes however it did not fix the issue. Can anyone please help?

    Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?

    Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk.  It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.

  • Itunes problem with windows Vista

    ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
    However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
    Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
    Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
    So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
    This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

  • Is iTunes 8 still incompatible with Windows Vista?

    When I updated my computer to Windows Vista, iTunes always crashed the computer. I know this is a common problem. So I just downloaded iTunes 6 and have been using that for a couple of weeks. But when I try to load CDs onto iTunes now, as soon as I press the import button a Windows message comes up saying "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Then it tries to get me to download the new version of itunes.
    I would like to know either of two things:
    1. Are Vista and the newest iTunes version still having problems? Should I be ok to download the new version?
    And if not,
    2. How do i fix the problem with iTunes 6, to get it to load my CDs?
    any help, guys? thanks.

    ITunes 8 runs fine on my Vista laptop. So did version 7. I think Apple announced Vista compatibility many months ago, and you should have nothing to fear.
    Be sure to search for NOD32 fixes if you happen to run that antivirus program. Many of us NOD32 users were blaming Vista for crashes that turned out to be security conflicts with NOD32. The maker, Eset, has a page on the fix.

    I have downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 on my computer with windows vista on it. Now every time I try to run a video it shuts off iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice. Is there a fix? Is it possible I am missing part of the program?

  • TS5376 I have a laptop that i am running with Windows Vista. A while ago, it stopped running iTunes and comes up with the error : Runtime Error: R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.

    I have an iMac as my home computer, upgraded to this about a year ago from a windows pc and love it.
    However...
    I have a HP Compaq laptop that i am running with Windows Vista, which I use when travelling. A while ago, I believe on an update, to either windows or itunes, it stopped running iTunes and comes up with the error : Runtime Error: R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    I have a reasonable amount of tunes stored on my laptop, and am unable to ascertain as to whether this fix for allowing itunes to work again will delete my music folder and lose all the tunes i have on my laptop already?
    The contents of my music folders on my laptop and iMac are not the same, as they are not synced!
    Any help please on this would be appreciated!

  • ITunes error when launching with Windows Vista Laptop

    The iTunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. How do I resolve this. I reinstalled, I checked permissions for my account, and I checked permissions for the folders. I am using a Windows Vista laptop.

    Hello,
    Multisim 10.0.1 is compatible with Windows Vista, and this is a free update. Go to the Drivers and Updates page, and select your edition (Student, Educational, Power Pro).

  • TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • DESPERATE! IPOD NOT SHOWING IN ITUNES WITH WINDOWS VISTA.

    I recently bought a new Dell Dimension E520 which came with windows vista pre installed. I seem to be one of many people having problems with it!
    Newest version of Itunes (7.1) is installed and working fine. When I plug my IPOD nano in however nothing happens. It is visible in the device manager on my PC but doesn't show in itunes.
    I've been to the apple store and they said that the new itunes should fix the problem but it hasn't. they've checked my nano and it is fully up to date.
    I know it is a driver problem but i have absolutely no idea what i'm looking for when i go to the support section on this website!
    the reason I bought a new PC was that my old computer wouldn't download the new itunes and therefore i couldn't access the store or any songs bought from the store on my nano (plus it was 14 years old). it did however actually recognise my IPOD!
    It's been nearly 6 months since i've been able to update my ipod with songs and i'm getting desperate!!!! please can anyone help??

    iTunes does not yet support Windows Vista. There are numerous problems running iTunes on it. The latest release of iTuens 7.1 fixed some of them but not all.

  • When installing itunes on PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons.

    When installing itunes of my PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons.  How can I install it so it doesn't do that?  Thanks!

    You can force Vista to rebuild the desktop icons by changing your monitor's color depth momentarily. In the display properties, change to 16-bit color. Then change back to 32-bit.
