ITunes 8 - Windows Vista - Text Display Problem

Whenever iTunes is running unfocused (i.e., in the background, e.g., behind Mozilla Firefox) and the track changes, the text from the previous song remains there, and the library moves so that the new playing track's text is now over the top of the previous track's text. If left for several tracks it looks a real mess when I go back into iTunes (refocus it), however it only lasts for about 1/2 a second, then the text from the old track's disappears and it goes back to correct view.
Why is this happening? If iTunes is being used focused, the text doesn't overlap, but even if I'm running a program that doesn't cover the whole screen, e.g., a small readme file, in the background I can see the (unfocused) iTunes window overlapping all of it's text.
I would upload a picture but I'm not sure it's possible here.
Thanks,
Simon.

The Problem was with SP2 and I have a ticket open with Microsoft.

  • Upgrading to iTunes 9 on Windows Vista...PROBLEMS!

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 9 on my computer, and it is Windows Vista. The computer and iTunes was perfectly fine before, but now iTunes doesn't come up when I open it and my iPod does not show up under "My Computer". I went to apple.com and reinstalled iTunes 9, hitting the "Repair" option when a choice came up, and iTunes popped up and it came up fine but I couldnt click on anything in the iTunes window because the computer became suddenly slow. After quitting out of the iTunes program using Task Manager, iTunes wouldnt come up again. I need help on what to do to have iTunes work again properly without losing the music already on my library. Thank you.

  • Problem with the new 64-bit edition of iTunes -- Windows Vista Ultimate

    Very recently, I upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit to the 64-bit edition. I also downloaded the 64-bit edition of the Windows-based iTunes.
    My individual iTunes music files were stored on a separate internal hard drive that was never a part of the upgrade overhaul (C: drive was upgraded to the 64-bit edition; my iTunes files are located on the D: drive).
    After opening iTunes, I immediately went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced (tab) and changed the "iTunes Music folder location." I located my iTunes folder on the D: drive and clicked "Select Folder."
    Unfortunately, nothing happened. Meaning, iTunes does not recognize any of the files located within this iTunes folder. This is the exact same iTunes folder that I used under the 32-bit edition of the OS.
    I have nearly 50 GB of music files, none of which are now part of my music file library.
    What's going on?

    If they are tagged correctly, go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced and uncheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized* then close the prefs.
    Re-open prefs and recheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.
    All my music was imported from CDs using iTunes.
    After unchecking "Keep iTunes music folder organized" it doesn't make any difference. Virtually everything is in "Unknown."
    I can't believe this..... it's like iTunes doesn't recognize its previous handywork.
    Very frustrating!
    If anyone know a way to quickly clear this up, let me know.

  • IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

    Hello,
    I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday  when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
    When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
    Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
    Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
    I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
    Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
    Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
    I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

  • ITunes Windows Vista - Error 7 - Windows error 998, DEP

    Trying to install iTunes on windows vista laptop, iTunes installs but when i try to open it i recieve:
    Error 7
    Windows error 998
    Data Execution Prevention
    Have tried all solution given on apple solution website. Desperate for some help if any has some.
    Thanks

    (Apologies for barging in, wha.)
    In this context (launching itunes), DEP errors can indicate that some other program (other than QuickTime itself) has sprayed old versions of QuickTime componentry into unorthodox locations on the PC.
    Although the error 7 is most commonly associated with Apple Application Support or .NET framework problems, it can also be associated with QuickTime trouble ... so that's consistent with the old, misplaced QuickTime componentry troubles as well.
    So I think we'd better check on that possibility.
    You'll need to check some view settings on the PC first.
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now go "Start > Computer".
    In Computer, open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your operating system is installed on.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit Vista,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit Vista,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • "itunes has stopped working" when closing itunes Windows Vista

    Since November 2007, when I close itunes, I get Windows Vista error "itunes has stopped working" This got worse when it corrupted the itunes library itl file. I deinstalled QT and itunes version 7.5, and went back to version 7.4.3.1 - but the problem persists.
    I believe this problem started with the install of version 7.5
    Below is the crash information from Vista:

    I am running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  I found a simple solution by browsing through the support communities.  Here it is:   Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    This worked for me.  Good luck.

  • ITunes + Windows Vista + Games = Unsatisfactory playback experience

    My system details:
    Core 2 Duo E6600
    2GB RAM
    Windows Vista Ultimate w/ latest updates
    iTunes 7.5.0.20
    NVIDIA 7950GT video card w/ 512MB memory
    Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Soundcard w/ latest drivers
    10k RPM SATA drive for OS
    10k RPM SATA drives for data (where music resides)
    You'd think this would be enough to play music on iTunes without skipping. You would be wrong.
    With only Firefox & iTunes running, it still manages to skip/crackle on playback when loading webpages/tabs.
    What gives?
    Only iTunes does this, other applications manage playing 128kbit without any problems. E.g. WinAmp, Windows Media Player.
    Doesn't happen in Mac OS X on my iTunes there, so clearly there are still "issues" with playback on Windows.

    Numerous people have reported problems playing iTunes videos on Vista if the videos are stored on SATA disk drives.
    From what I can tell looking at HP's website, almost all new HP systems include SATA disks. If you don't know whether your system has SATA disks, tell us the exact model number and we can probably figure it out.
    If you do have the iTunes videos on SATA disks problem, there is currently no known solution.

  • ITunes & Windows Vista

    As far as I can see, there's still no way to solve compatibility problems between iTunes and Windows Vista. I can't even install iTunes 7.1.1. ("no win32 application","no VBScript installed"), and so, my 30GBipod still waits to be fed again. Could it be that this is kind of a strategy of Apple, not to offer a compatible version to Vista or even to inform about what's going on and what's the reason of the big delay? If yes, then let me tell you: I won't and can't buy an ibook or other apple hardware, and if this is not getting better, I won't buy anything from apple anymore... like possibly thousands of other disappointed customers! So please, fix it and communicate! Thanks a lot!

    Could it be that this is kind of a strategy of Apple, not to offer a compatible version to Vista or even to inform about what's going on and what's the reason of the big delay?
    Thats just ridiculous. Apple has been very adamant that iTunes is not compatible currently with Vista and that they are working with Microsoft to fix compatibility issues. If you think that there is a conspiracy than you are very wrong. Apple just added vista support to Boot camp. If they were not interested in Vista compatibility they would never had dome this.
    You are simply expecting too much from a maker of a huge piece of software. I do know that Microsoft has also been releasing patches that improve iTunes compatibility.
    You must be patient Apple is not going to abandon a large portion of its user base. That would be suicidal.
    Don;t forget that there is still alot of programs that aren't completely compatible with Vista yet.

  • Windows Vista Audio Driver Problem

    My Windows Vista Drivers that I got for my MacBook Pro from the installation disk have bad audio drivers. The sound on the speakers is too low, and the microphone won't even work. When I talk into the microphone while under Sound Properties in the Recording tab, it shows that the microphone is picking up sound. However, in Ventrilo, and Windows Sound Recorder, there is no sound from my microphone.
    I'm using Bootcamp 2.1. When will this problem be fixed? Will Apple release a new bootcamp version to fix this problem?? This is very important to me.
    If anyone has fixed this problem, please tell me how you did it.
    BTW, the audio device is called "Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB75)"
