Itunes 8 - issues with Windows Vista

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows vista home basic. Downloaded Itunes 8 and installed it ok, but when i go to start itunes, it starts in a minimised screen and I can't see the any of the buttons along the top (file, edit etc..). When the screen is maximised, the appearance is ok. But there is a problem with language in the play-lists - the playlist titles are in another language (Looks like Swedish or Finnish).
I've checked all the language settings in itunes and in the operating system too and they are all set to English. Has anyone come accross this problem before? Is this a known issue with Itunes/Vista?

I am having the same problem regarding the playlist languages, as well as other aspects. For example, my library name under preferences is not in English. Have you resolved the issue? I have checked all of my itunes and computer language settings and they are all set to English. I even changed my computer settings from Canada to US so that they are all the same.

Hi! I have just had windows vista installed onto my PC. I backed up all my songs etc from ipod yet when I have uploaded the latest version of itunes and installed the songs onto it, my ipod is not recognised. Basically when I go to put new stuff ontomy ipod a box appears saying that I can only be synced to one itunes library at one time. Then it asks if I want to sync to this library. Obviously I say no as I dont want to lose anything anyway now my old itunes library is somewhere in the ether and I cannot import any new songs! I have tried purchasing a few songs but again it will not importto my ipod!! Im so confused! Can anyone help me please??

Itunes problem with windows Vista

ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

Itunes incompatibility with windows vista

Itunes versions 7.1 and 7.2 do not work with windows vista correctly. Both versions interfere with uploading the DVD drive when booting up the computer. The DVD drive can not start.
Is there a solution for this?

Cannot open iTunes 8 with Windows Vista Home Premium

Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem. I have a new Ipod Touch that needs itunes 8 to work. I have a new HP PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem I'm having is: itunes & quicktime will download successfully onto my computer, but after download will not open. I receive the error message "itunes has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried to open them from desktop & from programs ...will not work. I was using itunes 7 with no problems, but after upgrade to the new version (itunes 8) I started having this problem. Here are a few of the things I have tried so far with help from just about every tech support I could find: uninstall & reinstall itunes (tried this several times..didn't help, but itunes installs successfully each time)...try installing quicktime & itunes separately (didn't help)..disable firewall & virus protection (didn't help)...turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (didn't help)...tried saving software to discs & installing itunes that way (didn't help)...I have updated all of my software including windows vista...I've run virus checks...& pretty much run checks on anything else I could find. I occasionally get the same error message when I try to open Rhapsody, but not every time. I'm thinking of using my backup discs & restoring my computer to factory settings. To do that would be a last resort, but I am getting pretty close to desperate. Does anyone think restoring it would help? If anyone has any ideas for me to try I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

You need to to check to see if your Quicktime works normally. Itunes will not work if QUicktime doesn't.
If Quicktime doesn't work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
Go to your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. In XP you need to be in classic view to see it, I am not sure about Vista.
Give the full text of any error message.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar
If so uninstall them, they are bad news for Quicktime.
Report back with your results.
If Quicktime is OK have you seen the Apple troubleshooting article for launch failure, I guess you have probably done quite a bit of it anyway, but is worth going through it systematically:

Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped!

ITune reinstall issue with Windows Vista

Because of a malware issue I was recently forced to remove, among all the others, my iTunes program from my computer (Dell Studio 1535 using Windows Vista Home Premium Service [OEM] Pack 2). A few days ago I went to the Apple site and downloaded the iTune64 setup application. When I click on the app it starts to install properly but all of a sudden I receive a popup saying: “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This canoccur if you are running Windows in safe node, or if the Windows Installer isnot correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.” I am not running this setup in "Safe Mode." After numerous internet searches, fix attempts and discussions with individuals in India I’m still having this issue. Could anyone offer any suggestions? BTW, this WILL be the LAST Windows base computer I will EVER own. In the meantime, I need my iTunes back.

Hi,
Apple has released the 2.2 driver update for BootCamp.

It should address the difficulties with the 24" iMac.

Cannot connect to itunes store-with Windows Vista

I downloaded itunes 7 and thats when my problem started. From itunes store I click on account to create a new account because my aol account is expired. When the connection is attempted an apple itunes error screen comes on that says "Your request could not be completed". "Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes music store. For detailed solutions to solve the issue, click "more info". When I do that I get instructions to make sure cookies can be accepted. I have already checked my Internet Explorer settings and added the itunes music store to my "always trusted" websites. The second instructions have me hung up. It says to go into control panel, date and time, and click on "internet time". Then to synchronize with an internet time server. When I try to do that with each server listed, I get errors. "An error occured while attempting to synchronize with the server" time.windows.com or any of the others as well. I have tried a thousand times over and I cannot get synchronization. Is this what is really stopping me from connecting to the itunes music store? When I went to Windows Vista help, Microsoft says that Vista Home Premium Edition does not have sync capabilites. PLEASE HELP! I hope someone has encountered and solved this problem. Thanks.

Problems Installing iTunes 10 with Windows Vista

I am running Windows Vista (32 bit) and have installed iTunes 10. Any time I try to launch iTunes I receive the following message: "iTunes needs to be repaired to work with Vista. Use the 'Programs and Features' control panel to repair iTunes."
The bigger problem is when I open the Programs and Features control panel, iTunes is not listed as a program. All of the other iTunes components are listed(Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour). However, I can see iTunes (version 10) in the C:>Programs Files>iTunes folder, just not in the control panel.
I was going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall as numerous posts have suggested, however, since the program does not appear in the control panel, I have not been able to uninstall it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

AirPort Disk - Issue with Windows Vista Ultimate

I setup an AirPort Extreme network, with a shared USB Drive and so far I've only found one issue.
When attempting to create new files and renaming them, or rename pre-existing files on the shared USB Drive using Windows Vista Ultimate I get the following Yes/No dialog:
"The Z:\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?"
Then there's information about the mapped drive. If I click "Yes" in the dialog, then the dialog goes away for a moment then pops back up. I can't create a new file directly on the shared AirPort Disk, nor can I modify or create and rename new files on the disk without getting stuck in the loop.
I can, however, create a new file locally on the Vista box and copy it up, and I can even create a new directory locally with files and copy them up without issue.
Now, the issue does not happen when I use my MacBook or my XP machine. This issues seems to be a Windows Vista issue only, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it.
Here's information about the disk share implementation:
- The disk is password protected (turning on accounts really breaks the ability of Windows Vista to work with the disk)
- The disk is Mac Formatted with Case Sensitivity, and Journaling
This works like a top for OS X and Windows XP, just not Vista. I'd like to getting working properly for all machines.
If anyone's got some advice on this one, I'd love to hear it.

Here's a little more information regarding the issue:
- It's an AirPort Extreme Wireless Router with Firmware ver. 7.1
- The Windows Vista Ultimate PC has the most recent Microsoft patches to-date, and has the most recent Apple Airport Utilities Software to-date.

Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.
