I tried loading itunes 10.5 onto my window wista 32-bit. It finishes the download and when i try to install it. I says that an error occured while trying to install.
Can somebody help me plz?Hi all, I know this is a very old thread, but I was battling this issue for awhile and wanted to provide my solution in case future users encounter a similar issue.
I am running Windows 8. I encountered this issue while trying to install iTunes 11.1 x64 version. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the real issue was trying to install the Apple Mobile Device service.
My resolution was installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package. It is available from Microsoft. A search on Google should reveal it. However, here is the latest link that I used: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14431
Note that redistributable packages for more recent versions of Visual C++ (eg 2008, 2010) will NOT work. Only 2005 version worked for me.
Good luck! -

how do i get my own icloud rather than share my wifes it is my itunes account
but icloud refuses unless i use the tick***@whatever it is i dont want to use that it is her email address understand what i say.
You need her to sign out of your account using the button with sign out written on it.
Then sign in using her account details. If she doesn't have an account, use the create Apple ID link in the set up window. -
When I plug in my ipad it automatically tires to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?
You can open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?
Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again... -
I have a Western Digital external hard drive that needs to be re formatted for use on my iMac, but I do not want to lose existing data, is this possible ?
Formatting a disk always erases all the data on it. Your only option is to back it up elsewhere and restore it once formatted.

We have created two partitions in removable drive(USB). One of the partition is active and the other is hidden. We are trying to access the hidden partition in Win PE 3.0 environment using WMI. VBScript code snippet used to detect the partitions is given
below:-
SetobjWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:"_&
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"&
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
SetcolDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery
Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
It will return the partition which is active but fails to list the partition which is hidden. The same piece of code was supported on WinPE 2.0I am giving the complete code, may be you are able to understand better. We are using Win32_LogicalDisk to retrieves the complete information of all the drives (like C:, D:) including removable drives.
Function
LocalDriveFound()
strComputer =
SetobjWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:"_
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"&
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
SetcolDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery
"Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
ForEachDiskDrive
IncolDisks
DriveLetter = Left(DiskDrive.Name,1)
DriveType = DiskDrive.DriveType
VolumeName = DiskDrive.VolumeName
WScript.echo Driveletter &

Have installed Airport express using windows vista, unit blinks green, selected the speakers from itunes but get no sound at all, even if I put a headphone in the airport express. Pls advise
If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting? -
how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive. Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.
One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.
