HT4335 iTunes Activation-Only vs. Windows 7?

Is iTunes activation-only mode compatible with Windows 7?

The article needs updating to mention the iTunes path for Windows 7 and other 64-bit installs of Windows.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"

Can't change activation only mode to off using the command line in Windows 7 64 bit

I used the command line to turn activation only mode on and now when I use teh command to turn it off it will not change the iTunes setup. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling and it is stillin activation only mode.

Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
I appreciate your help, thank you.

ITunes stuck in activation only mode

I have been unable to fix this with copious google searches. Computer is running Windows XP Pro SP3.
We are using the appropriate switches to launch iTunes in activation only mode and also to take it back out of activation only mode. I have tried creating separate shortcuts and I have tried doing it from a command prompt window.
iTunes is stuck in activation only mode and won't come out of it. If I log in to the computer with a different user account I am able to launch in normal mode. This problem seems profile related but I have searched the registry and been unable to find a key for iTunes that would obviously be causing this problem. The app has been reinstalled - made no difference.
What is the problem here? I would prefer to not delete the profile that iTunes is "stuck" in if possible. Thanks

Logged this as a SR on Metalink and the problem seems to be down to use of colons in my connection names.
I was using a naming convention of
host:SID for accounts connecting as system and
host:SID:schema for accounts connecting as specific schema
Which nicely groups and orders my connections by host. Sadly this prevents edit of stored pl/sql units (package, procedures, functions)

I would like to transfer all data from my iPod classic to my new computer with windows 8.1. My old computer's cpu died. Utilizing iTunes which only allows iTunes albums purchased at iTunes store. The cd's were loaded via iTunes originally.

Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer.

IMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

IPod is recognized only in Windows not iTunes

Basically, my iPod Touch 4G does not show up on iTunes, it only charges when plugged in by USB. Windows recognizes it, but iTunes doesn't seem to. My iPod is recognized on another computer, but seeing as I have all my music on this computer I have no interest in using another.
I have tried the following:
- Restoring my iPod (from different PC)
- Restarting PC
- Restarting iPod
- Re-installing iTunes (around 8-10 times)
- Updating to latest software on iOS & iTunes
- Connecting using brand-new USB
I have failed. I am ready to give up on my iPod and get rid of it. Does anyone know the fix..?

Did you also try to remove all Apple related software before you reinstalled iTunes again? Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista and 7

HT204406 ITUNES MATCH Windows 7 Error message on upload (Step 3) from PC - 3 times get "Windows close program [iTunes]" with only 30-50 of 500+ songs. Help!

ITUNES MATCH - Need help. Windows 7 Error message on upload (Step 3) from PC - 3 times get "Windows must close program [iTunes]" with only 30-50 of 500+ songs. Anyone have this issue of iTunes crashing?

Exactly the same problem here. As far as I can see this problem has been around since Match was first released with no action from Apple to rectify it. I've spent days trying to get this to work now and unless I get a fix soon, I'm going to pull my Match membership and ask for a refund because this is not what I signed up for...

ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist. Help! I'm about to go back to Windows Media Player!

Hi friends! Like I said Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist.
Here's what I've done so far;
I 've checked my external hardrive (by playing it off my internal instead), I've tried reinstalling (although it wasn't an uninstall), I've tried clicking on all the neccesary boxes (let itunes organize files, copy files, consolidate, and reorganize), I've tried different sound cards, I've tried moving files quickly (as some have said this works). I'm not sure what's wrong. I have 7000 songs.
Any help would be great!

Have you tried installing Media Manager on another computer and streaming the songs from there?
How about smaller playlists? See the same problem?

I cant download iTunes 10.5 on windows 7 HELP!!!!

I cant download itunes 10.5 on windows 7 please HELP! Error message always comes up says unable to complete installation!

I'm no expert, but I had the same problem and spent many many hours on my own and almost 4 hours on the phone with Apple last week. My itunes would not update - I found online to uninstall it - big mistake. Then I couldn't reinstall it for the sam reason it wouldn't update. There are at lest six programs associated with itunes. Apple had me uninstall all of them and then reinstall all of them - it was awful. I discovered very early though that the one program in CONTROL PANEL was the Apple Software Updater. Make sure that has updated the latest of whatever it tells you. The Apple tech and I think that had I done that first, then maybe itunes would have updated. You can also check to make sure all the Apple associated programs such as Quick Time are updated before installing. These are easy fixes. I also ran Check Disk to help make sure there weren't other problems. After the Apple tech had me reinstall everything, I still had a problem with itunes closing down but upon more research in this community, I realized he did not have my install Quick Time after I re-installed Itunes. I finally got everthing in sync and was shocked to not find my music on my isutff. Then I found out it only downloads new purchases but you can to to your iphone/ipod/ipad and have it re-download those purchases. Anything you put in your library from a CD or other source will not be available on your istuff until MATCH is activated. Good luck - I feel for you - been there. P.S. Apple support was great with me!!!!

ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention FIX

I have been getting a "Vista Data
Execution Prevention" error message whenever I closed iTunes for months
now, and after reading through a few forums, I have found a solution
that works. It only takes two minutes. Long story short:
1) Start iTunes
2) Open the Windows Task Manager
3) Go to the "Proccess" Tab
4) Find "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" and right click on it.
5) Select "Properties" from the drop down menu
6) Go to the "Compatibility" Tab
7) Check the Box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
8) If "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is not in the field below, click on the down arrow and select said option.
9) Click on "OK" to close the window.
10) Close the iTunes application
11) Reopen the iTunes application
12) Close the iTunes application again.
At this point you should not see anymore "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error messages when you close iTunes!
P.S.
If you want to go back and de-select running
"AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" in Windows XP Compatibility mode, you
can. Though this part is totally optional. The next time you close
iTunes, you will get one last "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error
message, but don't worry, it will be the last one. Try opening iTunes
again and then closing it, and TaDa, no more error messages. I don't
know why running AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32 in compatibility mode
JUST ONCE solves the problem, but it worked for me.
Happy new year \o/

Welcome tocguy. If I may ask you a question: How much memory does your Vista x64 PC have? I have 3 GB, which is the maximum that 32-bit Vista can recognize, but I seem to recall that 64-bit Vista can utilize much more than that, and wonder if that might be why 64-bit users are scarce in the 11.2 thread.
I have now also done a truly clean reinstall, deleting Apple folders in ProgramData and each user account's AppData folder, and even the iTunes folders in each user's Music folder. Of course I moved my iTunes Media folder to a safe location first, and one iTunes Library backup file suitable for version 11.1.5. I also cleaned the registry. The most I can say is that I sometimes don't get a BEX upon closing iTunes now, but usually I do. I deselected one default setting during installation, "Use iTunes as the default player for audio files." (If an audio file can be opened by Media Player 11, why would I want to open it in a program that gives me a BEX nearly every time I use it? Too bad my AAC files purchased at iTunes Store can't be opened by WMP, but I certainly won't be buying any more of those now.) My advice to other Vista users: Don't waste your time reinstalling, it won't solve the DEP problem.
Ran the Program Compatibility Wizard to run iTunes in XP SP2 compatibility mode, but abandoned that idea after the first BEX.
Thought I was onto something when I tried the registry fix at http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/17/to-dep-or-not-to-dep.aspx. Johnny DEP thought he was so slick when he saw iTunes listed as an exception in his DEP tab, but there was one minor problem (yes I did reboot):
Oh well, it's probably a bad idea to allow buffer overruns anyway. The fact that this didn't work causes me to think that Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit or Application Compatibility Toolkit would also be a waste of time. Vista users who wish to avoid BEX errors can either downgrade their iTunes (free) or upgrade their Windows (not free).

Unable to download or update to itunes 10.6 on windows 7 64bit

Hi, recently I restored my laptop to the original factory settings and tried to install itunes again. However, with the link given on the apple's website to download Itunes, I only managed to download the 9.2.1.5 version even though the website stated that it version 10.6. So I installed it unknowingly that it's the old version and now I can't connect my Ipod as it requires version of 10.5 or higher. I even tried updating from Itunes 9.2 itself (by going to help> check for updates) and it even prompt me that newer version of Itunes (10.6.3) is available. So I clicked "download Itunes" and it opens up Apple Software Update to check for updates. Weird thing is, when it checks for available updates, it prompts me that "Your software is up-to-date". How can I get the latest version of Itunes? Even when I go to http://www.apple.com/sg/itunes/ itself i keep downloading the old version which is 9.2. Help
P.s i'm running on OS 5.1.1 on my ipod touch hence it requires a new version of itunes. Right now I'm running on itunes 9.2

Even when I go to http://www.apple.com/sg/itunes/ itself i keep downloading the old version which is 9.2. Help
I haven't seen one of these reported for a while. (There was a little burst of them on XP systems a few months ago, where they would keep trying to download a 10.6.1.x instead of a 10.6.3.25.)
Although you're getting different symptoms than described in the user tip, a few of them responded to the treatments in the following user tip:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows
(Not entirely sure why having an ASU problem would cause the wrong version of the installer file to appear when downloading an iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe from the website ... although something exotic might be happening with the installer cache, which is part of the ASU machinery.)

ITunes 10 unusable on Windows 7

I'm upgraded to iTunes 10 on my Windows 7 machine, and it has become unusable. Not only will no content load, but I cannot drag the app around, none of the menu options work. In the task manager it says that the application isn't responding. Currently its stuck on the iTunes Store screen for the last half hour.
Thanks,
-JS

At least you can take comfort that iTunes10 is a dog on OS X too.
Usable but frustrating and ridiculously slow and resource hungry.
It's not Apple failing to port well to Windows, there is something deeply wrong with the performance of this version of iTunes. There was a version of iTunes8 that limped and stuttered like 10 and that was fixed in a point release so here's hoping a fix is on the way.
Sad because performance was noticeably better than 9 for me for the first days but has declined into an awful experience. I can see how whatever is going wrong for so many of us got through testing and QA but if my experience and the comments on the thread are a guide there is something needing an urgent fix going on and Apple needs to address that.
