ITunes disables autoplay on Windows 7

Our Worship Leader has Windows 7x64 and the latest version of iTunes.
When iTunes is NOT running he can insert a music CD and then the default autoplay action fires up iTunes and displays the CD music.
HOWEVER if iTunes is already running autoplay does not fire off and iTunes does not dispaly the CD.
We have even changed the autoplay action to ask the user what to do when the CD is inserted. And when we do this...
If iTunes is NOT running the autoplay pops up and asks the user what to do.
HOWEVER if iTunes is running then autoplay does not pop up.
So iTunes is somehow overriding the autoplay feature. Is there a setting that I am missing to prevent this problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Is there someone out there willing to test on their system what is happening to us? I am curious if the same thing happens for other folks in their environments. I want to make sure it isn't something we have done or are doing in our environment that is causing this to happen. There is a case of virtual beer for you if you can test this!

How to disable autoplay in windows media player, normally play FLAC and watch AVI with two or more audio streams

0x1) is there a way to disable annoying autoplay feature in windows media player: when i play music in "now playing" mode and insert a disc which contains some video WMP stops playing music and asks me to play that disc or starts playing without any questions (e.g. when i insert DVD). in addition when WMP asks before playing it proposes three options: resume playing, go to library and play previous list. choosing "resume playing" you'll not resume the music just played, you'll start playing inserted disc. if you choose "play previous list", it also won't continue the playlist i was just playing, rather a playlist or track before the one i was just playing! very strange behaviour, isn't it?
note that this happends only in "now playing" mode, when library is active everything works fine.
please don't tell to go to control panel and change autoplay settings: it takes no effect. it works when WMP is not started or if WMP is not in "now playing" mode, otherwise WMP ignores that settings and demonstrates his "very intellectual"automatic playing.
0x2) when playing FLAC files windows media player doesn't show progress indicator, it always is positioned at the beginning (or at the place where you've positioned it). if i select multiple FLAC files and click "play with windows media player" it will play only the last file from the selected list.
0x3) when playing AVI files with two or more audio tracks WMP plays only one of them and gives no opportunity to change autio track. in wmp of vista it plays all the audio tracks at the same time (!).
If there is no solution for these problems, please tell me where i can send a feedback about my complaints?

i use K-Lite 5.2 full codec pack. in the k-lite codec tweak tool report i see madFLAC.ax installed. i'll try the Xiph.org filters.

As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox. Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK (your iTunes library will not be affected)

Touch not being recognised by itunes only autoplay, frustrating!

Ever since I downloaded Itunes 8 my ipod hasn't been recognised by itunes and keeps coming up with autoplay or digital camera whenever I plug it in. I have tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling it, resetting my touch, stoping and starting the device, disabling it in device manager, uninstalling it in device manager, updating driver details (though it gives me more options to open it as another device though it warns strongly against it as it might cause my system or touch to stop working properly). I'm sure it is more a problem with my useless laptop more than itunes 8 but I can't think how to fix it. I'm so tempted to wipe my comp and start everything again.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry I do not have an answer but I am getting exactly the same problem.
I have 3 iPods and am running the latest version of iTunes.
2 of them connect without a problem (80Gb Classic and 1Gb shuffle) however I have just got a brand new 8Gb (4th Gen) nano and this will not appear in iTunes.
Problem: Autoplay runs every time with the nano and occasionally I get messages from iTunes that the iPod needs to be formatted for windows or is corrupt and needs restoring. I do this and the iPod restores but then does not appear in the iTunes window after restore.
Windows XP seems to think it is a USB disk and runs Autoplay everytime I connect.
I have tried changing the assigned drive letter in case of conflict andalso disabling autoplay but nothing has helped. I have sent the nano back to apple and it has been returned saying everything is fine.
It should not be this difficult!

Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

ITunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (64) - can not sync

Hello,
I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0, and iTunes to 10.5 (Windows 7 64 bit). Now, when I connect my iPhone to the iTunes, the Sync button in iTunes is disabled, and single yellow bar is shown at the left (where capacity is typically being displayed). Also, i don't have my music/videos on the iphone anymore.
I've tried complete reinstall, but it does not help. I've also tried to downgrade to iTunes 10.4.1, but it wouldn't sync with my iOS 5 device.
Thanks!

After multiple re-installs, the device now syncs, and yellow bar is replaced with a "more correct version", however i don't see any of my media files (music, photos, etc..) on the iphone. iTunes insists that they're on the iphone, but when i open, let's say, the music app, no music files are shown.
Any ideas?

ITunes 12 incompatible with Windows Vista Data Execution Prevention

I just did a clean install of iTunes 12.0.1 after removing 11.4 and other components as described in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 with 3 GB RAM. Soon after closing the iTunes GUI, I get a Data Execution Prevention notification:
I have already tested with every DEP setting except AlwaysOff, which would globally disable an important Windows security feature and is therefore not to be recommended. The problem is apparently a Buffer Overflow Exception. Here are the details from one instance:

This is actually not a new problem. As an experienced user of 32-bit Vista, I would have to say that the last compatible iTunes version was 11.1.5. See also Windows Vista problem reports after latest Itunes 11.2 update.

I have been getting a "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error message whenever I closed iTunes for months now, and after reading through a few forums, I have found a solution that works. Long story short:
1) Start iTunes
2) Open the Windows Task Manager
3) Go to the "Proccess" Tab
4) Find "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" and right click on it.
5) Select "Properties" from the drop down menu
6) Go to the "Compatibility" Tab
7) Check the Box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
8) If "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is not in the field below, click on the down arrow and select said option.
9) Click on "OK" to close the window.
10) Close the iTunes application
11) Reopen the iTunes application
12) Close the iTunes application again.
At this point you should not see anymore "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error messages when you close iTunes!
P.S. If you want to go back and de-select running "AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32" in Windows XP Compatibility mode, you can. Though this part is totally optional. The next time you close iTunes, you will get one last "Vista Data Execution Prevention" error message, but don't worry, it will be the last one. Try opening iTunes again and then closing it, and TaDa, no more error messages. I don't know why running AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe *32 in compatibility mode JUST ONCE solves the problem, but it worked for me.
Happy new year \o/

VBScript Error when trying to install iTunes 7.2 on Windows Vista PC

I downloaded iTunes v7.2 + Quicktime. When I try to install, I receive the following error:
"iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn-off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install iTunes."
I installed my current version of iTunes v7.1.1.5 on my new Windows Vista PC just a month or so ago and never encountered this error. I have also tried to update Quicktime and get this same error. Why am I getting this error now? What do I need to do to 1) ensure VBScript is installed, 2) that script blocking is turned off since I don't see any settings in my Windows Live OneCare that allow me to do anything related to scripting, and finally 3) re-register VBScript?
PLEASE HELP. Thanks!

although the following document refers to XP rather than Vista, it's still worth a crack on a Vista box:

New Nano 4Gb is not recognised by itunes but is by Windows XP

I previously had a iPod Mini which recently failed so I have purchased a 4Gb Nano this week
However when I connect it to my computer I can see it in explorer but not in iTunes (when I conect my girlfriends 2 Gb Nano to my computer it is recognised by both Windows and iTunes)
In addition when ever I plug it in Windows starts up autoplay
When I disconnect the Nano even safely the Nano resets itself and asks for the language I wish to use
Any ideas on how to fix this or is it time to return this. I have trie hard resets when connected and not connected

Hello,
Have you seen this article about it?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes but does in Windows
I would suggest doing a restore on your iPod (this will format your iPod to this computer).
You won't be able to do that yet, since if you open up the iPod Updater, do you get a "iPod Service Error" or "can't mount iPod" (I presume you will get one of those messages)?
See this link:
iTunes/iPod Updater confuse iPod with network device, causing iPod to not mount or be recognized.
Overall, in this situation, I suggest assigning your iPod a different drive letter, then try restoring it:
Assigning your iPod a different drive letter (previous link)
I hope this helps!

Is there a way to temporarily disable Quicktime in Windows 7?

Is there a way to temporarily disable Quicktime in Windows 7? I can't download any music from sites other than itunes, a player opens and streams the song instead. I download a lot of music and I'm crippled

I can't download any music from sites other than itunes, a player opens and streams the song instead.
That is a setting in your browser that tells it what to do with an MP3 file. For example, if you are using Firefox, go to Options > Applications. For "MP3 Format Sound," change it from QuickTime to "Always Ask."
Other browsers have similar settings.

Failed downloading itunes 10.7 on windows 7

Hi,
Can someone please help me? i used to have itunes on my laptop (windows 7) but not anymore. i deleted the program because when i want to upgrade my iOS 6 on my ipad2 (cant upgrade from ipad, keep getting the message saying "An error occured when installing iOS"), it said that i need to upgrade to 10.7 version. Did the upgrade but kept getting error message, therefore i deleted it and wanted to re-install again. I've tried so many times from Itunes page by clicking the "Download Now" button, but it only took me to another window saying "Thank you for downloading the Itunes" and NOTHING happen from there.
im so frustrated because i cant upgrade my iOS 6 for my ipad2. FYI, i always upgrade my iOS for ipad using itunes from my laptop, not directly ftom ipad itself.
any comment/help would be much appreciated.
thanks

Getting bounced straight to the "Thank you for downloading" screen when you try to download can be caused by popup blockers.
Try disabling popup blocking.
In internet explorer try disabling filtering (The little circle with the bar through it in the address window.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.
