Issues Using iTunes with Windows Vista 64bit

Wondering whether anyone has faced below mentioned problems and any suggestions thereof:
1.Most of times when I launch iTunes, the UI does not appear for many minutes, sometime extending to 5 - 10 minutes. I could see iTunes running in the Windows Task Manager, but without the UI appearing. Sometime relaunching the application does the trick, but most of the doesn't.
2.When I connect iPod (Classic), iTunes sort of freezes up, again sometime extending to multiple of minutes. In that process it also freezes up other applications e.g. Firefox browser. I cannot do anything on my laptop during that time.
Any help

Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

  • Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
    Help, please.
    (My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

    i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
    also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements

  • 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.

  • I cannot use itunes with windows 7. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that a 32 bit xp version was loaded on my machine. I can't uninstall it and the 64 bit version will not install.

    I cannot use tunes with windows 7. A 32 bit xp version was loaded from my prior computer. It will not uninstall. The 64 bit version will noit install.

  • The same problem with Windows Vista 64bit-iTouch not recognized by iTunes

    Happy Holidays, all. I was just hoping that someone had come up with a fix to the problem with iTouch and Windows Vista Premium (64bit). All I get is a picture of the plug pointing to the iTunes image on my iTouch, can't even see the regular icons yet. The device is not picked up by iTunes, either. Tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole bit. Thought I'd try one more time to get a fix before returning the product. By the way, if you ever finally do get through to Apple Tech Support, they'll act like they have never heard of the problem (at least the guy I spoke with did. He wasn't very nice or very helpful). Anyway, good luck and thanks.

    I have I think the same issue. iTunes can see a Nano but not an iTouch. Vista see the device when I plug it in, but no luch with iTunes. I ended up using a old laptop with XP which is slow and out of hard drive space, so I need a fix.

  • Error 2356 with windows vista 64bit

    I have had Itunes and Quicktime working fine but suddenly quicktime was nt working giving me an end program error when i need to play anything so i decided to reinstall Itunes and Quicktime but it started to even give me an error uninstalling them but i managed to manually uninstall them and delete even the reg files but when i try to installl any of them now its gives me an 2356 error
    Please advise?

    Unfortunately, I tried every solution on the page (including restoring) and it still doesn't work. I thought the problem was because of a bad video file that iTunes warned me to delete, but that doesn't work at all.
    There has to be an issue with Vista. The iPod worked just fine on my Dell with Windows XP. As soon as I switched computers, it stopped working. What issues does iPod have with Vista?

  • I CAN'T EDIT MY MUSIC LIBRARY IN iTunes WITH WINDOWS VISTA!!!!

    I add my music carpets to iTunes and when I tried to edit any song, all data were in gray color and disabled. What happened? Does anbody know? I've already change many options in the Edition/Preferences menu, but nothing happened.
    Thank you very much and i hope that anybody could help me

    It is a Vista permissions issue. Give yourself FULL control over any folders with music. You might need it on the parent folders,too.

  • Downloading from iTunes with Windows Vista

    I just purchased my iPod video and i am tring to download a free episode of something and it is saying that it is going to take 132 hours for it to download. I am using windows vista and i was wondering if this was a normal thing or if there was anything that i could do about it. Thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help me.

  • IPod will not update in iTunes with Windows Vista

    Every time I connect my ipod to my computer, my computer locks up and it does not update. The only way I can even connect my ipod is to use manual update.

  • Syncing iPod in iTunes with Windows Vista

    I have the latest version of iTunes.
    I upgraded from XP to Vista.
    iTunes was syncing my iPod fine before the upgrade.
    After I upgraded, iTunes worked fine (although taking up a huge amount of RAM) but syncing my iPod happened like this:
    iTunes would recognize the iPod and seem to start syncing but would just sit for 30 to 40 minutes, iTunes extremely slow. Then, after 45 minutes, iTunes would finally begin syncing and finish in a normal time.
    It's been like this for a month now and I'm going crazy.
    I'm really dissapointed, not only because Apple took forever to release an update to iTunes that would work with Vista, but also because the update barely fixed anything.
    I'm not even going to bother wasting my time calling customer support.
    Any sort of assistance would be greatly appreciated!

  • ITunes with Windows Vista

    Currently have my music collection on windows media player. have transfered collection to iTunes but some ambums are not complete, with random tracks in albums on their own. Plus can't get artwork for lots of them despite having artwork on the originsls in windows media player. How do I put albums back together & get artwork?...tried dragging, cutting & pasting but won't work.
    Yours confused & frustrated.

    Oh ive had this problems too. It seems like some songs saved on my WMP library simply cant be played using iTunes. I cant help you with that. But when it comes to album art its rather easy to simply hit "information" and choose a picture for each album yourself.
    If thats to hard for you ya its just as easy to right click and selecet a option which name ive forgotten. But it lets you iTunes search the web for the album and find a suitable cover automatically. Amazing.

  • Importing CD's into itunes with windows vista

    I am having some trouble importing my cd's into itunes. When I insert the cd, it it recognized, and gives me the option to import. When I click yes, it imports the entire cd in about 5 seconds. When I go to play the songs added to my library, they are all 1 second long, and no sound plays. It also does the same thing when i try to play the song directly from the cd. It just goes from track to track every second.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and still get the same problem. It is not my DVD drive, as the same cds import and play in windows media player. I am running windows vista home premium. Anyone have any ideas?
