ITunes 7.7-Win Vista-iPhone 3G

When I hooked up my new iPhone for the first time, and during 2 subsequent restores, my PC will get something like 40 songs into the transfer of files to the iPhone and lock up completely. Nothing works at all, I have to undock the phone and use the reset button on the PC to restart. I'll do that and plug the iPhone in, the transfer starts up again, and locks up again at some unpredictable point. This will happen 5 or 6 times until I finally manage to get all the files transferred from iTunes to the iPhone. It seems like this PC is fine in all other ways, including normal every day syncs. The problem happens when I have a huge amount of data to bring over, such as in a restore. There are no significant events in the system logs. I've tried disabling the antivirus software before starting the transfer, and that doesn't help. Any suggestions as to what I could try to stop this? I hope to be done with restores, but you never know, and I dread the thought of it now.

This issue isn't limited to Vista. I run XP SP2 on my home machine. I am an admin and my wife is in the Power User group. We have individual library lists which point to a common iTunes Music folder. She can't edit. I suspected an issue with ACL's. Apparently iTunes 7.5 is setting permissions for the creator/owner without regard to the inheritance of permissions from the parent folder. Ordinary users (and Power Users) get only read/execute permissions, unless they were also the creator of the directory. I used a Microsoft ACL tool (XCACLS) to fix this, but I don't recommend it for any but advanced users. If you are able (as Admin), then just add permissions (full control) for the affected users by using the properties UI available. Apple needs to fix this problem.

  • Cant enable voice over [itunes 9.0 win vista]

    i cant enable voice over on my shuffle.it says itunes was unable to install voice over kit. an unknown error occurred [32]. what should i do?

    I just encountered the same problem with a Shuffle 4th gen on Win7 64bit. Apple tech support was clueless. I figured out how to deal with it. Here's how to get it installed.
    1) Open iTunes and allow it to download the Voice kit; leave iTunes running.
    2) Browse to C:\users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Temp (remember iTunes must still be running and you must have just downloaded the voice kit).
    3) Copy the file IpodVoiceOverSetup.exe to some other directory on your computer.
    4) Close iTunes
    5) Go to the directory where you copied the file; click it. If it asks to Repair or Uninstall, tell it to Uninstall. Then click the file again and install it.
    6) Open iTunes; the feature should now be enabled.
    If for some reason it doesn't work, then close iTunes, go back to the file, right click on it and "Run as Administrator."

    You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • TS1538 iTunes 10.6.1.7 and Win/Vista Not Recognizing iPhone 4S!!!

    I bought my first iPhone which is a 4s two weeks ago, and the latest iTunes did not recognize it, while Win/Vista recognized it on the drop down list and as a camera.  The same iTunes was able to detect iPhone 4 which I bought for my family member.  I then connected iPhone 4s to iTunes under WinXP, and it worked fine, so I was totally confused.  I submitted the question to Apple iTunes Feedback, and did not receive any reply. 
    I have used iTunes many years with iPod and iTouch, and was happy with it, but this incident changes my perception of Apple completely!
    Eventaully, I did more research on the web, and learnt during the iTunes installation, iTunes did not update the device or USB driver for iPhone 4s!!!  It was solved, under Win/Vista, by updating the device driver by pointing to the iTunes directory.  My conclusion is this has to be a bug of the iTunes installation process.
    Very disappointed with Apple's lack of response.  I actually planned to switch to use Mac, but this experience or rather Apple's effort to rectify the problem has changed my attitude towards Apple completely.  It is a shame!  Or is this their tactic to encourage Win users to migrate to Apple Mac???

    I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

  • Win Vista -, iTunes won't display my iPhone

    I've turned off firewall, WinPatrol and my antivirus - I can see the iPhone in My Computer... but the sync and backup buttons are greyed out in iTunes.  I can see it with no problem in the other computers.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes - PS iTunes will not seee my iPhone 4S or 5S - I'm puzzled

    Solved -
    By going to R/Click MyComputer > Manage > Devices > System Devices and 'check for hardware etc.. (If iPhone is pluggged in it should appear here...  PS it won't show if it isn't plugged in)
    All okay now

  • TS2529 I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.

    I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
    I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.

    Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
    I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
    Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
    My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
    Any other suggestion?
    Pls help

    The article says that I should upgrade to the latest iTunes. I am on the latest iTunes version.
    If you could read just a tiny little bit further, under the "Additional Information" section immediately after that, it says:
    If you are still experiencing this issue when syncing, or have not installed Xcode 4 and get this alert:
    Follow the troubleshooting steps in Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: Resetting the SyncServices folder.
    If the issue is still unresolved, follow steps in Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing.
    Have you tried those measures?

  • ITunes 10 Install on Win Vista x64 Failure

    Unable to install iTunes 10 on Windows Vista even after uninstalling iTunes completely.
    I opened iTunes and it told me that there was a new version to download and install.  So I downloaded the iTunes64Setup.exe file and executed it, making sure to run it as administrator.  Long story short, the install failed with the message.
    "There is a problem with this Wndows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support or package vendor"
    Things I have tried, all have failed.
    1. Redown loading the file
    2. Trying to install the 32 bit version (It says I need the 64bit version for my OS)
    3. Completely uninstalling and reinstalling.  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    4. Turning off Anti-Virus (AVG) and trying to install
    When I look at the installed programs after getting the failure message, I see that it is installing the following applications.  So it's bombing out on the next step whatever that is.

    I have spent many hours scouring the internet looking for solutions to this problem without success.  The information I do find seems to be several years old and all seem to be roughly the same, which is to completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall.  Right now I have no functioning iTunes all so I no ability to update or sync my iPod.  I'm hoping someone out there has the magic answer.  Thank You.

    According to Apple's iTunes 10 download page system requirements are:
    Windows Software
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    QuickTime 7.6.6 or later is required
    200MB of available disk space
    Screen reader support requires Window-Eyes 7.1.1 or later.

  • ITunes 10.5 hangs during iPhone 4 sync

    Just installed iTunes 10.5 and attempted to sync iPhone 4/4.3.5 several times. The process hangs while "Backing up" with the status bar right under the t in (Step 1 of 5). I've swiped the phone to cancel, which leaves iTunes continuing on as if the phone were still syncing. I used Task Manager to quit iTunes on Win Vista, restarted iTunes and attempted to sync again. Hangs in the same place. So, I restarted the computer, restarted iTunes and it's still hanging during Backing up...  I am so frustrated! Help!!!

    I've two Windows 7 64 bit desktops.
    On the one I've always used which has all my backups, apps, music etc etc I'm having the same problem and I've tried everything including above suggestion, removing and reinstalling, New download, stopping processes using MSCONFIG and Autoruns all to no avail.
    On the scond PC it's all working perfectly but I've no backups, apps, data, music or data.
    Not happy.
