Itunes and Server 2003

Hi. I am running Windows Server 2003 on My Dell Laptop and am unable to install iTunes or Quicktime.
I was told it was a problem with Quicktime and a conflict between windows security settins and quicktimes security settings.
When I try to install iTunes (iTunes + Quicktime) I get an error at the end about quicktime failing. Something about "Error -3". Then I can never access either program.
What do I do. I don't want to use different piece of software.

hi ryan!
I was told it was a problem with Quicktime and a conflict between windows security settins and quicktimes security settings.
yes, the first thing we have to check on with this on any version of Server 2003 and any x64 version of XP is the conflict between the QuickTime player and Windows Update KB908531.
for some more information on troubleshooting that issue, see:

  • Can i install itunes on server 2003

    I would like to know if I can successfully run iTunes to sync my devices using Server 2003 64 bit.  We have 3 users using Outlook 2007 on Terminal Server.

    Can you run it in compatibility mode for Vista 64-bit?

  • Windows 7 and Server 2003 security errors

    I have a domain with a 2003 DC and 2012 DC. There is one Windows 7 PC on the network that is not domain joined. On the 2003 DC the Security log has a lot of errors about Failed Login and the source IP is the non-domain joined PC. These same errors do
    not appear on the 2012 DC.
    I've looked at the PC and I'm quite certain there is no infection that is causing this. I ran netstat -ab on the PC and it showed 2 entries in the list that pertain to the server.
    TCP 192.168.1.112:49405 server:epmap  ESTABLISHED [spoolsv.exe]
    TCP 192.168.1.112:49547 server:epmap  ESTABLISHED [spoolsv.exe]
    The 2003 DC does not have any printers installed on it as the 2012 DC is the print server. So I'm trying to figure out why the 2003 DC is getting all these failed logons and what the netstat entries on the PC have to do with it.
    I don't think any harm is being one but there must be a lot of useless network traffic being generated by this as the errors on the DC are very numerous.

    Hi SmallBizAdmin,
    The details in Security log might be helpful for us to narrow down where the problem is, the best way is that refer to timeline in your error log and perform a network monitor on your client then find that why your Windows 7 computer keep trying access to
    your Domain controller.
    for the specific Windows Client, you could perform a clean boot and check if this issue still persists.
    Since you mentioned that it showed 2 entries in the list that pertain to the server, and it’s for the spoolsv.exe. Check if spoolsv.exe is working properly on your client machine or you can reset it for good measure.
    To reset your spool service:
    In the right pane of the Services.msc locate and      right-click on Print Spooler and then select Stop.
    After you have stopped this process, leave the Service      window open. Now open My Computer and navigate to the following folder.
                    %windows%\system32\spool\PRINTERS 
    Delete all the files in the Printers folder. After      deleting the files in this folder, go back to Services window, right-click      on Print Spooler, and then select start to re-enable the service.
    Regards
    Unfortunately a clean boot isn't possible. The PC is a ways away and this issue isn't critical enough to warrant a trip onsite.
    I did restart the spool service on the PC and checked the PRINTERS folder but I didn't see any files there.
    The failed audit events in the server's security log that are generated by this PC are 529 and 680 and they repeat over and over. There are 16 per minute, 8 529's and 8 680's. So you can how the Security log contains a lot more failed audit events
    than normal. Since those events pertain to logon, I'm not certain how it ties to the spooler service on the PC. The PC is mapped directly by IP to two printers near it so it shouldn't need to authenticate with this 2003 DC at all. DHCP is handled
    by the 2012 DC but it doesn't have any failed audit entries from the PC.
    So I'm not sure if the netstat entries on the PC pertaining to spoolsve.exe have anything to do with the constant 529/680 failed audits on the server or not but so far that's all I can find on the PC that show any reference to the 2003 DC.

  • Adobe reader 9 will not open in a IE browser window in windows 7 and Server 2003

    In short, I think their products do not work very well.  I'm not surprised Steve Jobs will not allow Flash on his products and I am not a Mac fan.  Every computer I've installed Reader 9 on has had problems opening a pdf in a browser window.  I've tried this on various versions of Windows with the same results.  To fix it I had to install Reader 8.  This is not a solution.

    I've got the same problem. I'll look forward to solving this on this thread.
    It really sucks- I have a ton of pdf files, and can't save them to Documents or send them out of the Adobe file.

  • Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

    Hi,
    I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
    Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    So, I have two problems:
    1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
    2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
    Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
    HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
    SGA (M)
    Shared Pool=104
    Buffer Cache=960 ***
    Large Pool=0
    Java Pool=64
    Total SGA=1128
    SGA Max Size=1321
    Aggregate PGA Target=1500
    Current PGA Allocated=22868KB
    WINDOWS MEMORY INFO FROM TASK MANAGER SHOW:
    PF Usage=1.66GB
    Physical Memory (K)
    Total=4062704
    Available=3203460
    System Cache=2499096
    Commit Charge (K)
    Total=1748184
    Limit=12288628
    Peak=1925276
    *** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
    Thank you.

    CREATE SPFILE
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
    Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
    All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
    The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
    See Also:
    CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
    Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
    Prerequisites
    You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
    Syntax
    create_spfile::=
    Text description of create_spfile
    Semantics
    spfile_name
    This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
    If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
    If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
    See Also:
    "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
    pfile_name
    Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
    If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
    If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
    Note:
    In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
    Examples
    Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
    The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    Note:
    Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
    When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
    STARTUP
    The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
    spfile = 's_params.ora'
    The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
    STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

  • Active Directory 2012 R2: SMB1 Access for XP / Server 2003

    Hi there Experts
    I'm currently planning the migration of our 2008 R2 Domain Controller to 2012 R2. We also have a few XP / Server 2003 Clients in our Environment.
    I read on a few blog posts that there is a problem with XP and Server 2003 to access e.g. the NETLOGON Share on a 2012 R2 Domain Controller due missing SMB1 Support of Server 2012 R2.
    see:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-us/bca317cd-87aa-4fd7-b12a-6715e6dddfe5/cant-access-unc-share-on-windows-server-2012-r2?forum=winserver8gen
    https://workinghardinit.wordpress.com/2014/04/25/windows-xp-clients-cannot-execute-logon-scripts-against-a-windows-server-2012-r2-domain-controller-workaround/
    I tested this in our Lab Environment were we already migrated our Domain Controller to Server 2012 R2. In this environment i can access all shares on a 2012 R2 Server via a XP Testclient, without performing the above SMB1 Activation on the Domain Controllers.
    Also the GPO and Logonscripts are applied successfully.
    Can anyone tell me if i need to implement the Workarounds to enable SMB1? What i can tell is that the Feature "SMB 1.0 / CIFS File Sharing Support" is installed on the domain controllers.
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards, Simon

    As you long as you have no problem without applying the workaround then you can proceed without implementing it. Just keep the workaround as plan B in case if you notice some failures.

  • CR 2008 on Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2003

    I have posted a similar question before but have not beeen able to come up with a solution.
    We recently purchased cr2008 designer sp5 and installed it on server 2008 r2 and server 2003. We have web pages where CR is embedded in the code showing the report. This works fine on server 2003, also works fine on development desktop BUT does not work on server 2008 r2.
    The application works but when time to show the CR itsself there is just a blank page with no error messages. I have replcated the code both using vs2005 and vs2008 and none of them are working when it comes to show report.
    IIS is configured to run 32bit mode and classic (on server 2008 r2). Applications are comiled with x86 target.
    We also have windows applications (without user interfaces) that loops through data base and saves crystal report as .pdf documents to folders to folders and they do work either.
    I have been working on this for the last couple fof weeks and I am clueless.
    Any ideas where to start looking and what to try? Any any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    That could be the discovery we're looking for...
    The message re. Database Vendor Code 1540 is coming from the database client without any modifications in the CR engine. E.g.; sometimes searching for the error in the database documentation helps. Google is often pretty good also. E.g.;
    Crystal: Failed to open Connection : The Official Forums for Microsoft ASP.NET
    http://download.tigerpawsoftware.com/download/v10/Errors%20That%20Can%20Occur%20When%20You%20Run%20a%20Report%20from%20T…
    From SAP documentation:
    Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: <vendor code number>].
    Cause
    The report SQL queries that have been sent to the server cannot be executed, because an error was returned by the database server after it processed the queries. For example, a field/table/procedure required by the report is missing, or the queries contain syntax errors.
    Action
    Ensure the report is using the correct connection information. For example, the data source name, server name, database name, and user name are correct. In a database-client test tool, ensure that the fields, tables, and procedures used by the report exist and that SQL queries can be executed against them. In the Crystal Reports designer, verify that the SQL query, as shown under the Database menu Show SQL Query option, does not contain syntax errors. If the SQL query shown in Crystal Reports is valid, execute the same SQL query through a database-client test tool.

  • Unable to connect Windows server 2003 to windows 2012

    Hi, I am using Windows server 2012 R2 as DC, server 2012 R2 as Member server with DHCP role and another serer 2003 ENT as Dhcp server.
    I am trying fail-over on server 2012 and server 2003. but when I am trying to authorize the DHCP on server 2003 its stating that it cannot contact DC. Where I checked DC its working fine. Server 2003 is able to ping dc with name and IP as well. 
    Thanks in advance...

    I do believe the technology for failover DHCP is different in 2012R2 and 2003.
    In Windows Server 2003 -
    "To host the DHCP server on a Windows Failover Cluster, the DHCP database needs to be hosted on a shared storage accessible to both nodes of a cluster in addition to the deployment of the cluster itself. DHCP servers running on each node of the
    cluster operate on the same DHCP database hosted on the shared storage..."
    In Windows Server 2012 -
    The servers does not need to have a central DB, they make use of a replication technique to ensure both DBs are kept constant and up to date.

  • IPhone 3G - updated to v3.0 - iTunes 8.2  and Windows server 2003 problems!

    Argh! I just lost an ability to sync my iphone with my Windows laptop/Outlook running Windows Server 2003.
    Everything worked fine until I upgraded iPhone 3G to version 3.0
    That forced me to iTunes version 8.2 update.
    The AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi which comes with the latest version of iTunes requires Windows XP SP2 or newer and installation fails.
    Is there any workaround available?

  • ITunes 8 and Windows Server 2003

    I have been running iTunes 7.7 on Windows Server 2003. However, I've had to upgrade to iTunes 8 when I updated the firmware on my iPhone to 2.1. Now iTunes will not run as version 8 does not work with Windows Server 2003. Is there a way to get around this? Or will Apple support Windows Server 2008?

  • HT203175 How do I install iTunes on Windows Server 2003?!? I get an error every time!!

    I am having trouble installing any version of ITunes 10.5 or later
    on my Windows 2003 Server PC. I receive the following error
    every time I try to install it...
    "Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer"
    I anyone has had this same problem I would appreciate any help!!!
    Thank you!!!

    I've googled my problem with many hits stating Itunes can indeed be installed
    by making changes to the msi packages and I believe a few
    registry hacks. It sounds like it can be done, but before experimenting with
    those suggestions I thought looking to the Apple community on the official site
    might glean a better remedy.
    I'm just surprised Apple doesn't support any Windows Server applications
    even though Windows Server 2003 came out after Windows XP,
    (Server 2003 - 2003____XP - 2001)

  • Can't install ITunes on Windows 2003 server (WHS box)

    Hi,
    I can't install the latest ITunes because it incorrectly mistakes my Windows 2003 server as Windows XP. So after search I find that I can change the MSI files as according to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2154140.
    This seems to work for all MSI file sin the ITunes etup exe except for this: AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi. If I change the MSI LaunchConditions it gives my error 2229 no matter what.
    So I'm stuck. Should I call Apple next?

    I can't help you with the error you get, but just to clarify while iTunes isn't "officially" supported for use on Server 2003, it does work. Sort of. iTunes 8 could be installed by editing the MSI, iTunes 9 however while this method is still required you'll run into a problem with iPodService.exe crashing, and iTunes refuses to finish the install until that service is up and running.
    There are a few topics on here that detail what you can do to get around this problem. I believe currently the only tried and tested method is to use the iPodService.exe from iTunes 8, doing a swap trick when the iTunes 9 service crash occurs so that you can at least get the application to install.
    I can't be bothered to go to the trouble though. I'm interested in seeing if Apple will silently stop with the BS and just fix the installer's version mismatch errors (easily done), and fix iPodService.exe. The reason why the service crashes, according to what I've read, is because it seemingly misidentifies Server 2003 and similar OS's as Vista or Windows 7, and then begins calling functions for those OSs from ntdll.dll - which causes the crash.
    As for your error, presumably that is with Orca. All I could find relating to the errors is something about transforming the MSI and language translations. It could also be because of an older version of Orca. Perhaps try and re-download iTunes, and extract the MSI packages again. But you should only need to edit the LaunchCondition for AppleMobileDevice.msi - and you don't need to delete the table either, you can simply change the number in NTVersion from 501 to 502, save the package and it'll all work. It did for me when I first tried it anyway.

  • Running iTunes 8 on Windows Server 2003, avoiding 2096 error

    Since QuickTime 7.5,nor iTunes neither QuickTime would run on my Server 2003, and the famous 2096 error came up. Unfortunately the new 2+ iPod firmware required iTunes 8 so I had to do something about it. The solution by apple was to turn off compatibility mode, but that was not on in the first place. Reinstalling, searching the net for solutions,.. nothing helped.
    So here is how I solved my problem. QuickTime 7.5+ requires at least XP SP2 so i followed this guide > http://www.sheebz.net/post/2008/03/Running-Photoshop-CS3-on-Windows-2003-Server. aspx
    and did the same both for the QuickTime and iTunes executables(instead of the setup.exe in the guide), and viola they are running. Note that the Microsoft Application Verifier program must be running when you start iTunes or QuickTime. The cool thing is that you have to do this only once, seems it just needs to pass the first check and after that you're good to go, no need for the Microsoft Application Verifier to be running anymore. Enjoy

    Well now we're getting somewhere.
    The RDP connection is fast, as there is nothing but 100Mb/s LAN and a switch between my desktop and the server, so thats not it. Quicktime is fine, so thats not it.
    I AM, however, running iTunes 4.8.0.32. I'm not very keen on the idea of moving to 6.0.2 for reasons that I'd rather not go into on this particular board... Is (the upgrade) this something i can do on the one machine unassociated with my apple ID? What parts of the older version are problematic?
    thanks!

  • ITunes installs but will not run post install in SERVER 2003

    I have MS Server 2003 as my OS. I haven't used iTunes in a long time because I never got it to work on my computer. I downloaded anapod explorer and that has worked well for me, but I really would like to try iTunes again as I have several friends that tell me how wonderful it is.
    Anyways, I install iTunes and it goes through the initial setup procedure, then will not actually show up. I see iTunes.exe in my task manager for about 10 seconds then it disappears. No error message, no nothing. I've tried new versions, old versions, standalone quicktime, deleting "ipod/apple" anything out of the registry. I've force-disabled DEP.
    I'm a well seasoned windows user, not so much mac stuff, but I've been messing with this for 3+ hours now, and can't seem to get it to run.
    Suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

    I don't think your OS is on the list of supported operating systems, but still.
    Does your Quicktime work? iTunes can't work without it and the fault seemed to relate to a Quicktime file.
    Sometimes installing the stand alone QUicktime works.
    First completely remove Quicktime using the method here: it is not for your OS but I expect you can adjust.
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to the system32 folder you can remove any file with Quicktime in the name.
    There can also be problems with incompatible codec packs. If you have any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    Uninstall them before installing the stand alone QUicktime.
    Download the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes from here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Note that it is not the default option.
