Itunes and vista error message

I just purchased a new computer with vista and now my ipod/itunes won't work. i have upgraded to the itunes 7.1 (i think) and at first- my itunes synced with my ipod nano, and now it won't...error message (-50) An unknown error occured. And then it says: The disk could not be read from or written to. Why? I purchased more songs from itunes and I can't get them on my ipod...any ideas?

iTunes not working in Vista is a bunch of bull...I personally rag on Apple for not releasing a "comaptible" (I put that in quotes because it really does work...I'll explain in a moment) version of iTunes upon release of Vista...considering that many Apple customers run Windows...
Anyway, I bought my laptop in November before Vista even launched...I had an Express Upgrade to Vista...the trick to getting iTunes to work on Vista is a clean install of Vista onto the hard drive. When I clean installed my copy of Vista, iTunes was the first program I installed onto my computer. The results were interesting:
1. Aero does work with both iTunes and Quicktime. The actual iTunes and Quicktime program themselves don't utilize the Aero interface, but Aero doesn't turn off for the rest of the computer.
2. iTunes is fully compatible with Vista. All my songs play and my iPod updates just fine.
3. Purchased music does play in Vista. All my movies, TV shows, and music I bought from iTunes play after iTunes prompts me to authorize my computer...somehow iTunes even knew that I removed my old copy of XP and it must've deauthorized my iTunes from XP because authorizing iTunes in Vista didn't take up an extra authorization of my allowed five.
To do a clean install of Vista follow the directions from this web site. You MUST HAVE A COPY OF YOUR VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM CD WITH THE PRODUCT KEY AND YOUR COMPUTER'S DRIVERS THAT CAME WITH YOUR SYSTEM!!! These are important in case Vista isn't able to use some hardware on your computer upon install, but Vista now has most drivers already installed...when I installed Vista on my Dell the only driver I had to download from Dell's web site was for my Bluetooth device.

  • HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

    I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
    I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

    I also get this error message on itunes.
    I am using Windows Vista. My firmware is totally up to date as is my itunes.
    Hopefully Apple can pull their finger out and give us a solution. I haven't been able to burn discs for a long time. Makes me wonder why I have invested in Apple products.

  • Itunes corrupt version error message.  tried to re-download itunes and same error message

    My itunes gives me an error message saying
    "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes"
    I tried to download from their site, and when i try to install it, it says "thank you for downloading iTunes" but it is not on my computer, i cant find the file anywhere
    please help

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • Updated itunes and getting errors messages: iTunes.exe-Entry Point Not Found

    After updating itunes, I get the message iTunes.exe-Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic library AVFoundationCF.dll.
    Then another error message tells me: iTunes not installed correctly. Please reinstall.  Error 7 (Windows error 127). I've tried to repair which looks successful until I try the desktop shortcut as well as going into the exe file in program files. Still the same message.  Operating a windows XP service pack 3 with 32 bit. Help would be most appreciated.--No problems with itunes until this recent update.

    iTunes.exe-Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic library AVFoundationCF.dll.
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • Updating iTunes and an error message comes up - what does it mean?

    Hi all,
    Sorry for asking what is probably a question which is easily answered. I was updating iTunes and I got this error message:
    [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/5feueu.jpg[/IMG]
    Can anyone tell me what it means and how I fix it?
    Many Thanks

    Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder, select your startup volume from the left side list, click on the First Aid tab in the DU main window then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process has completed quit DU and restart the computer.
    I don't know what that extension is for, but it isn't part of iTunes or OS X. I would suggest removing it. Navigate to the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder and locate that file. Select it, CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Move to Trash from the contextual menu. You will be asked to enter your admin password. Now restart the computer.

  • ITunes and Quicktime Error Messages

    Hello all,
    I get the following error message when I try to open iTunes and Quicktime from my desktop:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that's unavailable."
    When I tried to uninstall iTunes I got the following error message:
    "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    When I went to the specific folder(s) that they are in, I was able to open iTunes and Quicktime without a problem.
    Has anyone ever encountered an issue like this? I just started having problems with these programs.
    Thank you all in advance for your help.

    I figured out the problem. I had to use the Windows Installer Cleanup. I haven't had any other problems thus far.
    Thanks again.
