Itunes 8.1 wont run in vista- data exectution prevention stops itunes has c

itunes wont even run since i downloaded 8.1, i keep getting the message "itunes has stopped working", and "data execution prevention has closed itunes" how the **** do i get back to the previous version of itunes so i can use my ipod again??

I just got off the phone with support. You will need to provide your nano or iPod serial number to get any help with a windows system ( which I have ). I indicated that I followed the entire path to get a good 8.1 install. That included a windows "remove" of the current stable install ( a mistake ). I will have to drive 1 hour to an apple store and show up with a blank CD to get a good copy of the 8.1 "exe" install file .

  • ITunes wont run due to Data Execution Prevention in Vista. Please help.

    After trying to reinstall iTunes because I could not transfer a Word file to iTunes it will not now run.

    Can you do the repair for iTunes as well and see whether you are still getting the message.
    If that does not work,you have to follow steps below to uninstall and reinstall Itunes & QuickTime.
    Step 1: Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall iTunes and QuickTime from your computer without leaving any traces of these programs on your computer. Also, uninstall any third party codecs(like K-Lite Codec) installed on your computer using the Programs and Features wizard from the Control Panel.

    Note: The link above also have instructions to re-install iTunes and QuickTime. Do not re-install it as of now.
    Step 2: Download and install the latest version of iTunes
    www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Step 3: Uninstall QuickTime from Programs and Features
    Once you install iTunes, by default you'll have QuickTime installed on your computer. You'll have to uninstall QuickTime from Programs and features.

  • ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention FIX

    I have been getting a "Vista Data
    Execution Prevention" error message whenever I closed iTunes for months
    now, and after reading through a few forums, I have found a solution
    that works.  It only takes two minutes.  Long story short:
    1) Start iTunes
    2) Open the Windows Task Manager
    3) Go to the "Proccess" Tab
    4) Find "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" and right click on it.
    5) Select "Properties" from the drop down menu
    6) Go to the "Compatibility" Tab
    7) Check the Box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
    8) If "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is not in the field below, click on the down arrow and select said option.
    9) Click on "OK" to close the window.
    10) Close the iTunes application
    11) Reopen the iTunes application
    12) Close the iTunes application again.
    At this point you should not see anymore "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error messages when you close iTunes!
    P.S. 
    If you want to go back and de-select running
    "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" in Windows XP Compatibility mode, you
    can.  Though this part is totally optional.  The next time you close
    iTunes, you will get one last "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error
    message, but don't worry, it will be the last one.  Try opening iTunes
    again and then closing it, and TaDa, no more error messages.  I don't
    know why running AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32 in compatibility mode
    JUST ONCE solves the problem, but it worked for me.
    Happy new year \o/

    Welcome tocguy. If I may ask you a question: How much memory does your Vista x64 PC have? I have 3 GB, which is the maximum that 32-bit Vista can recognize, but I seem to recall that 64-bit Vista can utilize much more than that, and wonder if that might be why 64-bit users are scarce in the 11.2 thread.
    I have now also done a truly clean reinstall, deleting Apple folders in ProgramData and each user account's AppData folder, and even the iTunes folders in each user's Music folder. Of course I moved my iTunes Media folder to a safe location first, and one iTunes Library backup file suitable for version 11.1.5. I also cleaned the registry. The most I can say is that I sometimes don't get a BEX upon closing iTunes now, but usually I do. I deselected one default setting during installation, "Use iTunes as the default player for audio files." (If an audio file can be opened by Media Player 11, why would I want to open it in a program that gives me a BEX nearly every time I use it? Too bad my AAC files purchased at iTunes Store can't be opened by WMP, but I certainly won't be buying any more of those now.) My advice to other Vista users: Don't waste your time reinstalling, it won't solve the DEP problem.
    Ran the Program Compatibility Wizard to run iTunes in XP SP2 compatibility mode, but abandoned that idea after the first BEX.
    Thought I was onto something when I tried the registry fix at http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/17/to-dep-or-not-to-dep.aspx. Johnny DEP thought he was so slick when he saw iTunes listed as an exception in his DEP tab, but there was one minor problem (yes I did reboot):
    Oh well, it's probably a bad idea to allow buffer overruns anyway. The fact that this didn't work causes me to think that Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit or Application Compatibility Toolkit would also be a waste of time. Vista users who wish to avoid BEX errors can either downgrade their iTunes (free) or upgrade their Windows (not free).

  • ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention

    I just did a clean install of iTunes 12.0.1 after removing 11.4 and other components as described in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 with 3 GB RAM. Soon after closing the iTunes GUI, I get a Data Execution Prevention notification:
    I have already tested with every DEP setting except AlwaysOff, which would globally disable an important Windows security feature and is therefore not to be recommended. The problem is apparently a Buffer Overflow Exception. Here are the details from one instance:

    This is actually not a new problem. As an experienced user of 32-bit Vista, I would have to say that the last compatible iTunes version was 11.1.5. See also Windows Vista problem reports after latest Itunes 11.2 update.

    I have been getting a "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error message whenever I closed iTunes for months now, and after reading through a few forums, I have found a solution that works.  Long story short:

  • When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

    When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Data Execution Prevention stops quicktime playing.

    I can't get quicktime to play at all, every time I try Data Execution Prevention stops it.
    I have tried to turn off DEP for quicktime but it won't let me.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both quicktime and i tunes, also removed any Codec Packs I had installed,( I read to do this on another forum).
    Still windows won't let quicktime play, either stand alone or on the net.
    I am running Windows Vista.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Just to say "me too".
    Fresh copy of Vista, fresh download of itunes & quicktime, installed - quicktime won't start because of a DEP, uninstalled & reinstalled - the same, cannot turn off DEP for Quicktime.

  • Can't run itunes on Vista - Data Execution Prevention issue

    Have installed iTunes on vista successfully. When I try to launch, was prompted to re-install iTunes again... digged a bit and came across this Data Execution Prevention issue...
    Any idea how to solve this issue?

    The following polydorus post is a good place to start with a DEP error:

  • Unable to open Itunes in Vista - data execution prevention (DEP)

    I'm unable to open itunes on my computer. I can install it but not open it. It says that the data execution prevention has stopped the running of the program. I have tried to change the settings of the data execution program, but it will not allow me to accept itunes - as it says that DEP has to be activated for itunes and cannot be deactivated. What do I do?

    One temporary solution is to run itunes through XP rather than vista.
    To do this go to the program icon (makes sure its not a shortcut, and the actual program icon, you can find this in your program files if its on on your desktop)
    sideclick on the icon
    go to properties
    compatibility tab
    check Windows XP service pack 2
    tell it to apply
    This should allow you to use itunes

  • I keep getting a message that itunes incorrectly tried to run the C runtime library and now itunes won't work anyone know how to fix it?

    My computer keeps telling me that itunes tried to incorrectly run the C runtime library and now I can't get into it, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but nothing is working

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • DEP (Date Execution Prevention) Closed iTunes due to security reason

    I just bought a new laptop (SONY SR) operated with Window Vista. My laptop never run iTunes since I installed it. I tried uninstall and reinstall again n again, but it just doesn't work.
    A screen appeared and say that iTunes stopped working, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) has closed iTunes due to security reason.
    How do I off that "DEP"? Thanks!!!

    Hi, I just got this problem solved. Hope it helps.
    You don't have to turn off DEP or reinstall any program.
    The only thing you need to do is associate your Quicktime files ONLY to QuickTime player.
    When you open QuickTime it will automatically pop up a window to ask you if you want to fix file association. The answer is positive of course.
    If it still doesn't work maybe you could uninstall some codec / media players which associate with QuickTime files.

  • After itunes is closed i get warning saying data execution protection closed itunes

    after I exit itunes I get a warning saying data execution protection cloesed itunes, this is after it has already shut down. I tried to exclude itunes from DEP but did not work. Thanks

    I don't have a solution for you, but it seems that if you visit the iTunes Store at some point while iTunes is open then you don't get that error when it closes.

  • Prevent / stop itunes 11 automatically updating

    I dont know how i ended up with itunes 11 but i cant stand it - mainly because it slows my whole computer down so much i cant have it open in the background. Its a windows 7 machine with 4gb ram. Everything works fine inc CAD and video editing, but itunes is just way too slow.
    I have reverted to itunes 10.7 several times, but itunes always automatically updates itself to version 11. It doesnt ask me - it just happens magically. One day i am happily using itunes 10.7. The next day i open itunes and it will be version 11 and go through all the new version stuff.I have tried the following things:
    - Yes i have unchecked the box in preferences that says: "automatically check for updates"
    - when i have uninstalled i have also removed every other piece of Apple software including Apple Software Updater
    - i have rolled back to to itunes 10.7 and then uninstalled the software updater which must be part of the whole package
    - i have tried to edit the registry - to disable automatically checking for updates but have not had success.
    How do i stop itunes from updating automatically?

    So heres the latest:
    During the week my computer again magically updated itself to itunes 11. I have no idea how. I open itunes and it starts the "new itunes" stuff. I see no update dialogue whatsoever. Its about 2 weeks since i rolled back to 10.7
    I generally work with remote rural communities - i can get internet through my cell phone but only enough bandwidth to send/receive emails. Its virtually impossible to load web pages which leaves me wondering how itunes 11 manages to get itself onto my computer in the first place.
    I can only suppose when i am in the city every week or 2 it has downloaded itself and then decides to install itself at an opportune time.
    Im happy to buy music through itunes but the program itself is such a resource hog that i cant use it while running CAD programs or other work software. Added to that i cant stop it from doing whatever it likes to my computer - its starting to look more like malware than a useful program to me.
    Anyone have this strange problem? The options i can see are: dump itunes for winamp or other; reinstall windows which im not inclined to do.
    Ideas?
    Regards,
    Craig
