    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,
    Peter

    I installed iTunes update on my pc running windows vista and now it will not open. Error message MSVCR80.dll missing???

    First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:

    I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

    If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on.  The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

  • Safari Crashes after a few minutes without report/reopen window....

    Please help
    after a few minutes safari closes without any notice and no display of report/ reopen window.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums Prisoner from the Land of Cleve.
    A little more information would be helpful, such as the version of Safari you're using and which OS version.
    I have found the latest version of Safari (3.2.1.) to be ill behaved unless I've unchecked the "warn before visiting fraudulent websites" option in Safari > Preferences > Security. This appears to be a widespread issue. Try unchecking that box, quit Safari and see if it helps.

  • A Troubleshooting Guide for Windows Vista and iTunes 8 - user supported

    ITunes 8 and Windows Vista can be an explosive combination. Having helped to troubleshoot some problems for people, I decide to consolidate my information all down to one post. The information comes from various sources, and I will try to annotate where it came from. Please let’s keep this a solutions listing post. So people can come to it when they have a problem and easily find a solution.
    *ITunes will not install:*
    ITunes will sometimes not install or the installation will hang up under Vista. First I will give some generalized steps to take in order of priority, and then get into some specifics.
    General
    *1. Turn off your Anti-Virus Software.* Some A/V software will prevent the installer from accessing the Windows System Files causing the install to Bork.
    *2. Uninstall third-party Audio-Video Codecs.* Installing iTunes also installs Quicktime which installs the necessary codecs to play its supported files. Some codec packs, such as DivX and XviD have the ability to read these files, and their method of decoding these files can cause conflicts with the Quicktime installation. Even third-party CD Burning (Roxio, Nero, and the like) software can cause this problem. Once iTunes is installed, you can reinstall these codecs without any ill effects.
    *3. Disable Windows Defender.* Windows Defender is a resident A/V type program native to Windows Vista. It can also sometimes cause conflicts during installation. To disable it, go to the Windows Defender tab in your Control Panel, and chose disable in the dialogue box.
    Specific
    *1. When I install iTunes, the installation stops and I get error message 2738.* This error message means that the Visual Basic Script is not being installed properly or it could be disabled. To fix this we need to re-initialize the Visual Basic Script server. Do the following:
    In the search panel of the start bar, type cmd.exe.
    When the search results are listed, right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.
    Type in the following at the command prompt: regsvr32 vbscript.dll and hit enter.
    Run the iTunes install program again.
    *2. ITunes installed properly, but now I am stuck in a reboot loop.*
    This behaviour is a known problem to Apple and they are working on it. What is happening, when you run the program, it is involking a repair check of your installation. Beaconfield came up with a work around to use until Apple patches the software.
    “Navigate to C:\Program Files\iTunes\ and right click on iTunes.exe then select Sent To > Desktop. This will create a new icon that should load iTunes just fine.”
    I know there are more issues out there, but these seem to be the most common. If anyone has anymore solutions, please add them to this post. Like I said initially, I would like this post to be an easy reference for troubleshooting.
    Thanks again,

    Ok, so I saved my Windows Media Player playlist as M3U files and imported them into iTunes. Wow! What a complete mess that made of my library.
    All songs that were on the playlists (hundreds of songs) were duplicated in my iTunes library. iTunes would show two entries for each song. When I right clicked and choose 'Show in Windows Explorer' both entries point to the same song, it just shows up twice in iTunes.
    I cleared my iTunes library file and am starting over. I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Media Player. I've been listening to music off my Blackberry and it's really been fine. Just seemed a shame that my iPod was sitting in a drawer because of all the issues I'm having with iTunes and Vista.
    The original problem I had months ago was that iTunes crashed on Vista and lost all my Playlists. I was so upset I put all my music on my SD card on my Blackberry, because Windows Media Player makes it so easy to back up your playlists. They are saved as files and can be included in any automatic backups (I have scheduled backups to another hard drive)
    I thought with this new version of iTunes I could at least export the playlists to files so they can be backed up, I just don't know if I can face re-creating the playlists in iTunes.

  • Windows Vista and iTunes just don't get along!

    Everyone,
    I'm having some serious issues with iTunes 7.6 and Windows Vista Ultimate. This is on a new capable computer, with a vista system rating of 5.1. Newest device drivers and windows updates are installed.
    Problem #1- iTunes takes forever to start up. At least 30 seconds, sometimes a full minute. During this time, there is very little HDD activity, processor usage is under 4%, and the system responds quickly to other requests. Other applications and games have to issues with startup, only iTunes.
    Problem #2- Occasionally, the iTunes window becomes black. If I then hit the start button on the keyboard, the iTunes window becomes normal again, but it is quite annoying.
    Anyone else experiencing these issues? Any resolutions?

    I'm going to group 1, 2, and 3 together, and assume it sounds as if the iBook hasn't been authorized for use with your iTunes Store account. In iTunes, click on your Store menu (at the top of the screen) and click Authorize Computer. Enter the information used to make your purchases and click Authorize. Once it says it's successful, see if you can play the songs in iTunes first. If so, go ahead and try to get them onto the iPod (whichever method you prefer). If they still don't play, please repost with the error message you receive so we can be of better assistance.
    Number 4 sounds like it may be normal behavior... example: If you have 10 songs in your Music library and you Autofill the iPod with all of them, and go back to the iPod's Contents and manually delete 5 of them, then add 3 more songs to your library and Autofill the iPod again from your Music library, you'll end up with all 13 songs on your iPod again. Let me know if you're able to follow what I'm saying... I almost wasn't :P

  • Windows Vista and itunes 10.6

    After I installed itunes 10.6, the shorcut on my desktop no longer works.  The message I received said something about the file path no longer working.  I'm running Windows Vista.  Any ideas?

    When I type itunes in the search menu, it bring up my music, then a folder named itunes. Howver, when I click on the folder it opens to itunes files - library, library extras, previous libraries. Back up files - maybe?
    That's your content files and library files.
    Let's check to see if iTunes is currently installed. Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Can you see iTunes in the list of programs?
    If it's showing in the list, select iTunes and click repair. Does the repair go through properly?
    If it isn't showing in the list, try downloading and installing a fresh copy:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that install go through OK?

  • Windows Vista and itunes at war on my laptop

    Just recently, everytime I load up itunes on my laptop (windows vista) a pop-up error message comes up saying "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working". Th box keeps coming up (there were over 50 the first occasion this happened) and only seems to stop when I close itunes.
    Obviously, I would like this to stop so if anyone has any solutions, I would be eternally grateful. Otherwise, does anyone have a contact number for itunes so that I could speak to a member of their own support staff? The help page was anything but!
