Itunes 8.2 and Vista 64bit

Hello everyone,
I searched the forums and didn't see a definitive answer for the problem I am experiencing. Last Saturday I deciding to upgrade my Ipod Touch 1st Gen to 3.0. So I installed upgraded to itunes to 8.2 (64 bit installer) and lo and behold my ipod would not show up in itunes anymore. My PC still recognized my ipod as I could see it in My Computer. So I downgraded to 8.1, fired up itunes and it was back. I upgraded to 3.0 from there (it let me upgrade for some reason). After the upgrade I knew I was going to have to have itunes 8.2 to use my ipod. So just to check I fired up itunes 8.1 and got a message telling me that I had to have a newer version of itunes. So I upgraded once again to 8.2 and once again no ipod. PC still sees the ipod though. So now I am stuck, I tried to upgrade the apple mobile device drivers but am told by windows that I have the latest version. Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions? I was able to sync my ipod to itunes 8.2 running on 32bit XP so at least I got my music back.

[UPDATE] Finally got it working. I was looking around in Device Manager and found the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. Uninstalled it. Once I did that even Share Pod stopped working. Uninstalled 8.2 and reinstalled 8.0.2, rebooted and noticed that the Apple Mobile Device USB driver did not come back. So I figured that was the culprit. Looked around in Programs and Features and found Apple Mobile Device Support, uninstalled it as well as 8.0.2 and rebooted. Once back into windows I unplugged my Ipod deleted my iTunes folder in my music folder and reinstalled 8.2. The Apple Mobile Device driver was back. So thinking I had fixed the problem I plugged my iPod back in and started iTunes. Nothing. So I unplugged my ipod and went into services (Start -> Services.msc) and stopped the Apple Mobile Device Service as well as the iPod Service. Unplugged my iPod, started iTunes plugged my iPod in and got a message from iTunes saying that my iPod couldn't be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service was not started. Aha! I was getting somewhere now. Itunes was definitely seeing the iPod but just didn't want to connect to it. So once again I shut down iTunes, unplugged my iPod, started the Apple Mobile Device and left the iPod service shut off, Fired up iTunes plugged in my iPod and still nothing. So the last thing I did was to go back into services (leaving iTunes running this time) and restarted the Apple Mobile Device service (right click, restart) and Viola! it showed up. I hope this helps some of you experiencing the same issues I have. Good Luck!

Only .m4v files crash computer in iTunes 7.2 and Vista

I am running Windows Vista and iTunes 7.2. The computer will crash constantly if I try to do anything to Library or sync to iPod, but ONLY if it involves a .m4v (video) file. If I remove those files, everything in iTunes and Vista work great. Introduce a .m4v file into it, and you get a blue sreen crash. What am I missing here? Is there an incompatability with iTunes 7.2 and Vista when working with .m4v files, or is there an update, or a plug-in needed? I can't find any info on this topic.
Thanks!

Are the m4v files stored on a SATA drive on your system?

Audible, iTunes and Vista 64bit

Hi everyone, I'm moving to a new computer tomorrow that has Vista 64bit on it. I know that iTunes is now compatible, but I have a lot of audiobooks from Audible and to listen to them I know I'll have to authorise my new computer. I've had a look through the help pages on audible's site and it says that there is a problem with iTunes that stops you from authorising your computer on a 64 bit vista machine: http://audible-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/aid/3666/kw/vista%2064/rid/166
The thing is, some of the info on audible's website can be quite old so I'm not sure if this problem has been addressed yet or not. Has anyone managed to authorise a 64bit vista system for audible content? If not, can anyone think of any work arounds? (other than keeping the old computer around until the problem is fixed!)
Cheers
Nicola

I had Vista 64 and now Windows 7 64 and no issues--and there is a 64 bit version of iTunes too. All works well.

ITunes 7.1 and Vista

Have brand new HP pc with Vista factory installed with 4 gig ram, 1 terabyte hard disk, duoCore Intel Processor.
The new iTunes crashes Vista often all the way to a blue screen of death and trashes it's own database. Using the little widget that shows CPU usage, iTunes when it runs, by itself consumes 70-90% of the processor time (I think its the search function in idle). Love iTunes but it just doesn't play nice with Vista still!

wow! Thats a beast of a PC. I am jealous! This may help you out some:

iTunes and Vista haven't been playing nicely together. It should works itself out with the next iTunes update.
Good Luck,

Authorization Problems with iTunes 7.1 and Vista

I'm running Windows Vista Business edition. Any time I try to play a purchased song, I get prompted that "you've already got 5 computers authorized to play this", but when I check my actual account settings, it says I've only got 3 computers our of 5 authorized (which is correct). I've tried updating to the latest version of iTunes (7.1) and it didn't help. I tried to run the "fix the seurity permissions issue in Vista" application that Apple released and it doesn't even appear to run (gives me the EULA, I hit 'accept' and it just closes the window).
Iv'e checked all of the standard issues that I've seen bandied about. Yes, I'm using my administrator account (my only account on the machine is my admin acct.). I've tried right clicking and launching it as an admin (just in case..)...no change. Songs that I have purchased since upgrading to Vista work just fine and will play. Anything purchased before the upgrade WILL NOT WORK.
I'm just kind of frustrated as other people have mentioned as well. I've got many many songs that I cannot listen to at all due to this issue. Plus to be honest, I'm afraid to plug in my iPod to update it. I don't want it to "update" and then all of a sudden I can't even play the songs from the iPod either. If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it as it is getting a bit tiring.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there - It sounds like you have songs from more than one account in your library.
When you try to play a song that needs to be authorized it'll have the account ID that it was purchased with listed in the pop-up window (where you enter your password).
This is the important part: Make sure that the account ID that the song asks you for is the ID that you login to the iTunes store with when you check how many authorizations you have left.
Hope this helps!

ITunes 7.7 and Vista

Hi,
just moved my library to a Vista computer. I used backup/restore and it went well, however I had more than 1000 Podcasts before and deleted them for the move. Now I want to put them back and Vista is shutting iTunes down, whenver it "touches" Harvard Business Ideacast Episode 1.Itunes is performing "Analysis ... to adjust volume" and if I cancel it before it starts iTunes works, if I let it go it get's shut down by Vista with the message to upgrade iTunes to a newer version (not possible - it's the latest!)

It tells me to do the same thing when I try to download the songs I just bought from the iTunes store! I started having problems AFTER downloading v7.7!!! Help us apple, something is wrong.

Itunes 3g iphone and vista sync

I have a 3G iphone, Vaio with Vista Home, and the very latest Itunes.
I don't sync my ipod with this itunes and keep it unique for the iphone.
I sync calendat and contacts with outlook which works fine but it doesn't seem to see the phone as an ipod and every time I sync the music (which I have to do manually) it blows the itunes library away and despite searching, the only way I can get back to where I was with my itunes loaded, is to re-add the music folder and then it does all the artwork thing again, plus convert the odd wma etc.. It's an absolute pain in the ..

Roaminggnome - I understand what you're saying - however Mobile Me is great if you want to PAY for that.
I have just bought an iPhone (and here in Australia it ain't nowhere near the paltry $199 you guys in the US get to buy it for - try $700!!) and yet Apple now wants another $120 just so that I can use THEIR 'wireless' system.
I just want to be like StreetScience (within reason that is - sorry dude) and sit at my desk with my Powerbook in front of me, my iPhone to my left and NOT have to pay extra just to be able to 'wirelessly' sync any changes that I might make.
Sorry if that kinda makes me sound cheap - but if all the other smart phones out there can do it without being held to ransom by their manufacturer then why can't Apple allow us to do that too.
Or am I just being too 'needy'?

That may be correct, but my old Mustek 1200UB scanner is currently working flawlessly in Windows 7 using Windows XP drivers. There were never any drivers made for Vista for it.
I got one of those scanners too!

PSE7 and Vista 64bit compatibility

Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether PSE7 will run on Vista 64bit?

Mo,
Here's some more information on PSE and Vista 64:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_PSE_and_Vista
One thing not yet listed in the FAQ: The PSE 7 downloader won't launch on Vista 64 -- you have to run it manually via File > Get Photos And Videos.

ITunes and Vista 64Bit! No work together!

"iTunes 7.6 or later is supported with any 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. The installer for 64-bit Vista is named iTunes64Setup.exe instead of iTunesSetup.exe. For more information see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301"
So now you iPod With Coloer Displays will work!

I had Vista 64 and now Windows 7 64 and no issues--and there is a 64 bit version of iTunes too. All works well.

ITunes 10.5 and Vista - will not run

Well, I upgraded to 10.5 on my Vista 32 bit system. iTunes installs but simply is not responsive after starting up. Even more curious, it prevents Internet access until I reboot the machine. The Internet connection is fine -20 Mbps otherwise.
I did a complete uninstall and re-install following the Apple support page. same outcome.
No clue what to do. No clue.

Hello Everyone
I had almost every problem that is listed on this fourm trying to install Itunes 10.5
Here is the way I found to get it installed
I had to do this on two computers
I Downloaded Itunes 9.0.3 and installed it.
That went fine, everything ok.
Next I Downloaded Itunes 10.3.1 and installed it.
That went fine. everything ok.
Then I had Itunes check for Updates
It downloaded Quicktime then Itunes 10.5 then Safari
Everything loaded without a hitch
Now I have Itunes running and have updated my Iphone 4 and Ipad
No Problems at all.
I think that the loading of Itunes 9.0,3 cleared up the bad files.
Good Luck
Jim

Cs3 and vista 64bit

I have just taken delivery of a 64bit version of Vista home premium and have tried to install CS3 design Premium it runs through the checks and then stalls at the install.. any help would be apreciated.
thanks

Vexal, I completely sympathize. I've never had much trouble with Adobe software - other than having a forced upgrade to CS3 to get Vista compatibility, grrrr - but I've had such experiences with other, highly reputable makers.
I once spent three days trying to install a version of QuickBooks. When I called for help, it turned out to be outside the free help (for some reason)... and as soon as I forked over the $45 session fee, the guy INSTANTLY told me that my IE5 installation - that's right, the browser, not any part of QB - had a buggy file that needed to be patched before QB would install. I've burned over that $45 ever since.
One of the things you aren't clear about is whether the Vista 64 is the system's original OS or an upgrade - the "just taken possession of" implies you installed it as an upgrade. This was Vista's biggest failing and the source of 99% of its bad rep - it simply did not upgrade systems well. I suggest, if you want to cure this problem and avoid a host of others down the road, that you do a clean install of Vista 64 on the system. I know, it's a hassle, but it's necessary if you want stable system to work with. (Hint: throw a new hard drive in it and install Vista to that. Then you have the old drive to pillage for data and setup files until you're back to square one.)

ITunes 7.6 and Vista 32 bit - Songs in iTunes won't start to play

I have songs loaded into my iTunes Library but when I click them to play, they won't start. I didn't have this problem at first, but now I do.
I loaded about 20 iTunes songs and played them, but now they won't start and I can't load any more songs. Also, the mp3 files on a CD won't start either.
Running MS Vista 32 bit, iTunes 7.6, with an E-MU 0404 external audio card (usb 2.0).

B Noir-
Thanks for the reply. What exactly does that command exactly do? Very strange what is going on. Like I said earlier my computer is authorized yet I am still getting the screen below when I try to open a TV show I've purchased. Itunes is already open so not sure why I am being asked to open it again. When I do click on open Itunes, I get another screen that says waiting for Itunes to authorize.... I wait like 5 minutes and then it says not able to contact Itunes and to make sure I have Itunes 4 or greater.
HELP!
