Is there a significant compatibility error between iTunes 10.3 and Windows 7?

My computer has locked up several times now while running iTunes 10.3 on my pc that has windows 7 on it.  This problem doesn't occur anytime other than when I'm running iTunes.  I feel like that suggests that iTunes is the source of this problem.  Is Apple aware of this possible bug and are they doing anything to fix it?  I'd like to know so I can safely run my system with iTunes again and not worry about a system freeze up or crash.

But you could also easily use iCloud (if you are syncing Keynote to icloud) by uploading from here: www.icloud.com
or us another cloud servcie such as dropBox.

  • Compatibility issue with itunes 10.6 and windows 7

    I just installed the update to itunes 10.6 on windows 7 64bit, and it says that it is not compatible with my theme (so it switches it back to the windows 7 basic) I normally wouldn't mind however my screen blacks out and it's really annoying. I don't have any compatbility settings checked off at the moment. However I did try changing them and it still doesnt work.
    Itunes worked just fine before the update...

    Okay. Sometimes that can indicate a stuck registry key.
    Try labnut2's instructions from the following post:

  • Seamlessly switching between iTunes for Mac and Windows

    The path on a Windows machine to my iTunes is something like N:\My Music, where N is mapped as a network drive. On a Mac, that same Drive N is mapped as “fireserver” on the server machine. So on iTunes for the Mac, it would have to be //servername/fireserver/My Music or something along those lines.
    Here’s the problem. The iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml are the files in Windows that store the information regarding which iTunes music is there, as well as the playlists and their contents. Therefore, if I move from one machine to another, as long as each has the server’s drive mapped as N, I can copy those two files from one machine to the other and it serves two purposes. First, it is a backup of sorts of my iTunes library. Second, I don’t have to update the information on two computers but rather one, and then copy the files to have an identical library, including playlists.
    I would like to sync my iPhone and iPod(s) with my Mac, but I have a Windows machine, and need to continue to use that Windows machine to do other things with iTunes, such as port music to the backyard of my house. I don’t know how to keep the two iTunes libraries in sync since the xml and itl files refer to files and folders within N:\My Music. Even if I laboriously edited those files and did a global replace, that would be a one shot deal, and thereafter, I would have to update on the Windows side and on the Mac side.
    So here is the question. Is there a way that I can set up my Mac so that when I refer to N: it knows that I mean //servername/fireserver (I’m not sure if I have the syntax right, but I think I’m getting my point across)? In this way, the files would point to N:\whatever and the computer would know that I mean //servername/fireserver/whatever.
    This would solve a major problem for me.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have been really surprised by the lack of responses to this post. I'm thinking, this is such a typical thing that people would want to do - sharing their music with friends and family - I can't be the first to have the problem. Plus, I've always received such quick, expert advice on this forum to other questions since buying my Mac a couple of months ago.
    But now I'm wondering whether there is something else going on that precludes the resident experts from answering. Is sharing music as I've described illegal? Maybe that's why everybody's keeping quiet, i.e., if you tell me how to share my songs with a friend then you're assisting in copyright infringement.
    I didn't think it was illegal to share music with a friend in this way, as long as the songs you've downloaded from iTunes aren't shared on more than four devices or whatever. If it is illegal I'd sure like to know. That would also explain the radio silence.
    Thanks.

  • No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

    I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
    I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
    My last Problem is:
    There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
    I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
    The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
    This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
    First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
    Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
    Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
    Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
    Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
    Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
    Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
    Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
    Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
    Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
    Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
    And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
    Is this a known Bug?
    Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
    Thank you very much for your Help!

    Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing.  I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer.  Apple, fix this now!!!

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • Differences between iTunes Gift Card and iTunes Apps Card

    Hi,
    this is my question: what are the differences between iTunes Gift Card and iTunes Apps Card?
    thank You!

    what are the differences between iTunes Gift Card and iTunes Apps Card?
    The only difference is the picture on the front.
    You can use either for anything in the iTunes store.

  • Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

    Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
    Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
    Rebooting phone/laptop/router
    Disabling ipv6
    Disabling all networks except the one curently on
    Re-installing iTunes
    Restoring iPhone
    No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • ITunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bug thread

    I thought I would start an entire thread devoted to iTunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bugs since there are MANY people reporting various issues and may not know about all of them. Hopefully this will combine a list of all bugs for reference and help others. So far, most of this effects Windows 7 64 bit, but some are reporting issues under 32 bit too.
    I have spoken with both Apple Care and a higher level tech at iTunes support. The iTunes support tech said they were "looking into all reported bugs and are aware of issues with version 10.4, especially under Windows 7. They encourage others to report their bugs to iTunes support so they can work on this and find all the issues.
    KNOWN BUGS:
    Album Art copy/paste broken - A bug that causes copy/pase from clipboard where album art is not displayed in the info tab as before. Some have reported success by dragging the image file over to it vs copy/paste method but it is still very much spotty and a known bug.
    iTunes store not working - Some have been effected with the iTunes store not working properly for them. Personally I don't have a problem but this has been for some.
    "Purchases" link not working in iTunes - When you click on "Purchases" link on the right column, all your purchases are missing and do not show up. This includes, music, movies, apps, etc. This is also a known bug and one that I have personally. Works fine in iTunes 10.3 for Windows 7 64bit and also works fine under both Snow Leopard and Lion OS.
    Sync issues - Some have reported syncing issues since upgrading to 10.4 iTunes on Windows 7. This is a bit spotty as well as I have no trouble but there are others that have reported issues.
    Solutions:
    For now, the only way to fix this is to use iTunes 10.4 under Snow Leopard or Lion OS. Also, you can uninstall (not repair) 10.4 and install 10.3 again which should work.

    You are correct and I wish that I had known this before spending 4 days and a lot of trouble going over this with both Apple Care and iTunes support. They had me jumping through hoops and didn't know anything until it was finally escalated. Only then did I get a vague response like I mentioned in the first post. It's troubling to me how a simple response from anyone there could've just said we know about this and they are bugs in 10.4 causing this.
    There are other issues too as you point out with the syncing and crashing. Anyway, hopefully others will find information here more useful than calling Apple for help. Not much we can do now except roll back to 10.3 for those that kept it and hope also they can updated Apple Application Support component.

  • Leopard / Bootcamp / Vista / Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows

    On the apple page it says I can copy files from mac to windows?
    "Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows
    Copy, open, modify, or delete files in Mac OS X that you saved to your Windows partition. Leopard understands the Windows FAT32 disk format."
    I tried installing Vista in bootcamp, but it says I cannot install in FAT32? So i format it to NTFS.
    So here's my question, Can i still copy files between mac and pc, if I format into NTFS or am using vista?
    Thanks

    I am quite a simple soul really and very easily pleased.
    All I seek is a partition of some sort that I can save all my created work to - whether in XP Pro or OS X 10.5. But it has to be a large partition - probably a single partition on a large drive.
    It would be sweeter still for Spotlight to do what it does (and it does on a FAT partition) and sweeter still for Time Machine to be very user friendly and do what it presently does not do and include created files into the TM.
    Now that really would be very pleasant. Very pleasant indeed.

  • RFC connection error between BW 3.5 and ECC 6.0

    Hi gurus,
    We've defined an RFC destination between BW 3.5 and ECC 6.0. Connection test  (SM59) is ok, but authorization one fails and ALEREMOTE users block. These users on both systems have good profiles. We look ST22 and find a runtime error on CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR. We've cleaned source system on BW and RFC destination and we've created one more time, but error doesn't disappear. We've looked OSS but don't find anything.
    Any idea? Is there any other place (users, RFC) where we have to change user password on system?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards,
    Iván.
    Edited by: Iván Cabezas Castillo on Nov 6, 2009 12:09 PM

    Solved!
    This is because of the incompatibility of password handling between
    640 and 700 systems.
    We have to use a maximum 8 character long password with only capital letters (numbers are also allowed) for the user "ALEREMOTE".
    1. Change the password for the user in SAP R/3.
    2. Maintain the password in SAP BW for the RFC destination (transaction SM59 - Logon/Security tab)
    3. Authorization test is now successful.
    (SM59 - Test - Authorization).
    Regards!

  • Errors between Mail 5 inbox and Server inbox on the Exchange Server

    Hi,
    I upgraded to Lion recently and it seems that the Mail application struggles with the Exchange interface (although it was already the case for Snow Leopard).
    Bottom line there are some email messages in my Mail inbox, which in principle mirrors the inbox on the Exchange server, which are not on the server anymore but still appears in the Inbox. The main problems is if I want to delete such message, I get an error message saying the the "message can nto be moved to Trash". Logically, since it is not on the server it is by extension not in the inbox, but it seems that a duplicate of messages gets stuck in the Mail application. Problem is that now they can;t be moved.
    I restarted the application to restart the synchornisation, and still messages appears on my Mac but do not exists even on the server.
    Has anyone has tips on how to get rid of these emails?
    Thanks in advance

  • -50 error syncing iTunes 10.4 and Lion?

    Upgraded to Lion and iTunes 10.4 and am now receiving a -50 error trying to sync my iOS devices? Anyone else? All of the support documents are for older versions of iTunes, so not sure they apply.

    I am having the unable to sync due to "unknown erorr (-50)" with iTunes 10.4 (80) on Snow Leopard when it comes to syncing photos (from Aperture 3).
    It occurs when it goes from "Analyzing photos" to "Optimizing photos" in iTunes.
    I have done the following in hopes of resolving the error:
    Repaired my Aperture 3 library database
    Deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" in the Aperture 3 library
    Updated my iOS to the latest version
    Repaired permissions on my Mac
    Changed USB cables and ports
    Restarted Mac and synced with only iTunes running
    None of the above worked... I am still getting this unknown error (-50) when it tries to sync my photos.

  • Connection Errors between Oracle 8 Client and Oracle 8.1.6 EE

    Our current application has been developed using PowerBuilder 6.5 and Oracle 8.1.5. Since PB 6.5 does not have a "native driver" for 8.1.5, we have used their driver for Oracle 8.0.5 for Net8 connectivity to the server. Everything works fine.
    Recently, I downloaded the current version of Oracle 8.1.6 EE from Technet to try out the compatibilty of our software with the next version of 8I, it failed. The error seems to be somewhere between the 8.0.5 Oracle Client Software and the downloaded Oracle 8.1.6 EE Server software. Some how we have lost the ability to declare cursors. I tried declaring a cursor in a procedure through SQL*Plus and it failed their as well. I have even tried the Oracle 8.0.6 Client, with same results.
    Has anyone seen this? If so, what should I do?
    Thanks,
    Jason
