ITunes 7.7 Vista Bug. Gathering Info

Everytime I launch iTunes it pops up saying "Please wait while Windows Configures iTunes"
And usually that only happens once and then you accept the user agreement and it goes away.
I've already accepted the user agreement but everytime I launch it, it does the same thing but without the user agreement. And it's annoying.
What is wrong with my iTunes?
What if I completely remove iTunes will it delete my music in the "iTunes Music" folder?

I also have had this problem. I emailed I-tunes support over a period of a couple weeks and through multiple emails they were unable to solve this issue. I believe that it is the operating system that we are using. As most know Vista is not the best thing that Microsoft has ever released. I believe that it might be the system registry or some issue that has to do with the source files.
I downloaded the newest version today 7.7, and the same issue is occurring. My video podcasts are also green and the player is blocky. It was not this way before but just recently started this issue.
I am starting to feel that this is more of hassle then it is worth. Especially when the ITunes Support cant even figure it out themselves. I actually was able to troubleshoot better than they were. Kind of sad : (

  • My iTunes is freezing up while gathering info for iTunes Match.

  • Itunes opens and sits on gathering info about library

    Have had several Ipods over the years but were kids. Now wife has nano and when opening I tunes get the line above about gathering info about library and never moves from there to allow me to do anything with new one.

    Hi folks,
    I found a solution in case your MATCH is still buggy...
    JUST BOOT YOUR MAC HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY (until you see a progress bar).
    Then in itunes disable and re-enable iTunes Match.
    It should rescan all your library and eventually works.
    At the end just reboot your Mac normally.
    Best regards from Paris.

  • HT5085 Gathering Info About your iTunes Library - Keep getting Network error

    I bought iTunes Match yesterday, and so far have not been able to use it.
    It gets to Stage 1: Gathering Info About Your iTunes Library and makes progress, but right at the end an error box appears saying:
    "We could not complete your iTunes request. The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network connection is active and try again"
    Well I know the network connection is active as I was able to be charged for iTunes Match and have had no problems making other purchases. I went to Advance > Run Diagnostics Tests from Help in iTunes and ran the Network Connectivity Diagnostics and it reported no problems.
    Now I know how much Apple hate giving back refunds, but if people can't help, does anyone know how I can get my money back? If I click "Report a Problem" it simply takes me to the help pages. I tried contacting support but I received an email saying they can't help.
    I'm getting quite frustrated now, so I'm reaching out and hoping someone can help me?

    @ deggie, I wasn't threatening ANYONE. I was simply saying how frustrating this has become, seeing how I have been trying on my own to figure this issue out for more then a month with no results. Like I said in the beginning, I have not used any other account to purchase apps or other products on my phone. I have only ever used one account. There are 23 apps that are saying they can't sync. It directs me to authorize the computer, which I do but it doesn't change the outcome. If I proceed, I lose those 23 apps correct? Do I also lose all my text messages saved, and other things such as documents in the "notes"?

  • Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

    I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

  • When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out.  No error msg given.  What is it waiting for?

    When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out.  No error msg given.  What is it waiting for?

    Finally got it working, I had to delete two solitary files in an iTunes folder.
    C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    Delete the only two files that are in this folder. Please note that it is a hidden folder.
    After they have been deleted, iTunes should work (it did for me)
    This may not work if your iTunes.exe process (viewable with task manager) turns off after the license agreement. I solved that problem by updating quicktime.
    iTunes 10.5.2 doesn't update quicktime like all the previous installers did.

  • Windows 8 64 bit instal gathering info then freezing

    As per title
    Just bought a new laptop and am having problems installing and using itunes.
    Running windows 8 with 64bit
    The instal seems to go fine then when i go to open itunes it takes an age to open.
    When it finally opens it finds my itunes from the cloud but i have      ! next to every tune.
    When the genius is gathering info it freezes and i have to force quit.
    And when sending info to itunes it never leaves that scrolling bar.
    Any help on this is much appreciated
    JOhn

    Sorry you are having that issue. Since you just installed it on a new computer I would suggest that you try to isolate the issue. The exclamation points next to the songs means that the itunes library database cannot locate the hard copy of the songs within the computer itself. You may have to find them on your computer and re-add those again.
    A good method to test with is to create a new library and add a few songs to it and see if that works - if so then just add all your music to it and make that new library your permanent one and delete the old (you will have to recreate playlists unless you want to export each one and reimport.)
    See https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589 for help on creating a new library.

  • Genius stuck while gathering info about my library

    I decided to use Genius for the first time. I turned it on. It started to gather information about my library. I went to bed.
    Next morning, the bar had reached about twenty percent across. Itunes was unusable as it had slowed right down to glacial. I left it on for another 24 hours. After 24 hours, it had moved no further, and itunes was still glacial.
    I turned everything off. Restarted. I then had to turn on Genius again, and click on the contract, as if I had never done before. The bar immediately moves up to twenty percent again, but there it sticks, nothing happens for a day, and itunes is glacial/useless.
    I have looked in this forum, and deleted the itunes library genius file, as well as all apple.com cookies, as some people said that worked for them. But it didn't work for me.
    I am using latest versions of itunes 10 and snow leopard. 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo imac, 1GB Memory, 20 GB left on the HD.
    I'd be grateful for any help and advice.

    I've been using Genius for a long time, but mine just started doing this as well.
    It gathers info up to around 40%, then just bogs down. Then after about 10 more minutes, iTunes will completely freeze and give me the spinning beachball / marble of doom.
    I had to force quit and this ended up locking the iTunes library file, so I repaired permissions, restarted, deleted the genius database, and watched it gather info and freeze again.
    I'm on 10.6.6 and whatever the latest version of iTunes is, 2.4GHz MBP, 4 GB ram.

  • Itunes 7.5 vista problem

    Trying to get itunes to work.
    I heard 7.5 was meant to have fixed some of the issues with vista however, whenever I open itunes now it says:
    "A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly"
    Subsequently the program doesn't load at all.
    I realise this is a little vauge.
    I have tried reinstalling itunes and quick time several times to no avail.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanx

    OK if you have uninstalled K-lite, you need to do a full removal of Quicktime followed by installing the stand alone version:
    Download the stand alone Quicktime:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method here (just Quicktime):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.
    Addendum I realise I posted the XP link. This is the removal method in Vista

    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.

  • Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

    Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
    How do I transfer the library from the 160gb  to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
    Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
    Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
    Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
    Thanks
