Itunes does not work on my windows vista

When I tried to open my itunes, an error window popped up saying, "The folder Itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default for this folder is inside the music folder" I have no idea what this means. Please help me because this problem started in the summer and I have been almost 7 months without my itunes and my ipod music collection is greatly suffering. and if you can't help me, then receiving numbers for either windows vista help or itunes help would be great.
oh yeah I have also removed and reinstalled itunes many times before so that doesn't work either.

Hmm, no sure I totally understand your issue. However, there should be a subfolder in your Music folder called iTunes. This subfolder should hold all of your music files. Does this folder exist on your computer? Are your music files in this (iTunes) folder, or, somewhere else? What happens when you click on one of your music files saved on your computer (If the file doesn't already say open with iTunes, choose iTunes. You can see this if you right click on the file.) Post more info and I'm sure this problem can be corrected.

HT201317 i cloud does not work on my windows vista pc

It appears,that for some unknown reason i can not stream ,or upload any of my pictures(JPEG) to my Ipad3 from my Windows Vista2 PC,I was able to upload most of my music(although some were rejected by the Ipads system),I tried Itunes ,ICloud -automatic or manual to no avail.I even purchaised the Photoshop and placed my pictures there,then pointed to that file from ICloud ,still nothing,and the funny part is I am not even getting any error messages or codes,Icloud just freezes for about a minute,and after there is still nothing in my Ipad,I tried even sigle photos,thinking maybe I am going over 5G limit,but no,that was not an issue.At this point I am just frustrated-everything was working when I had ZUNE and uploaded and downloaded pics and music witout any problems...PLEASE HELP(((

Try working through TS1717: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues to start with.
Otherwise, 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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

ITunes does not start run on Windows Vista at all

I've been using iTunes on Windows Vista for about six months. A couple of weeks ago it stopped running: I run the program, see the animation-formerly-known-as-hourglass for a couple of seconds and then - nothing. I can see iTunes in the process list, but nothing happens nor can I shut it down (it does nothing when I try to shut it down).
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not help. The program did run on another user account, so this is probably related to my profile. I tried moving the two iTunes profile folders I saw listed somewhere (can't find them now), but that did not help.
Yesterday, I got a pop-up saying there's a version 7.5 available. I installed that, and much to my surprise it ran normally - once. After that one time it again refused to do anything more than what I wrote at the start.
So what gives? Should I throw my iPods into the nearest lake?
Any hints on how to solve this frustrating issue will be greatly appreciated.

I've tried everything I can now. I've uninstalled everything that has anything to do with iTunes, then reinstalled (as per the relevant article). I've even tried installing an older version, but no. Whenever I try to run iTunes, it shows up in the processes - and can't be terminated except by shutting the computer down - but does not open.
It still seems my only option is to throw my two iPods into the lake. This is infuriating.

PLEASE HELP ME. 12.1.1 itunes does NOT work for my windows 7 64 bit

I have read all the tutorials on here and elsewhere online and nothing works. My cousin goes to school for MIS help and she couldnt even figure out whats going on.
I HAVE DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES!
- Made sure my windows had all the necessary updates and everything was installed.
- I uninstalled ALL itunes products in the proper order according to apple discussions.
- Went through all the folders in program files.
- Reinstalled it and I get an error message. ( Apple mobile device service (apple mobile device service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services )
- I have gone through the Services window and tried stopping and restarting the program but I get an error message. (Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device Service service on Local Computer - Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion) I have gone through all the start and stop tutorials and none of them have worked.
- I have tried clicking ignore and sometimes it finishes installing but then gives me an new error message. ( iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (windows error 193) - I tried reinstalling and nothing.
- I tried finding the ituneshelper download but couldnt find it, I've also tried repairing and nothing works.
- I had downloaded and older version of itunes a few days ago that WAS working the 12.1 version (NOT 12.1.1) but then my cousin came to see if she could fix it and now I can't even download that version.
I am OUT OF options and I dont want to have to spend the money on support. Can some one PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have been trying to fix this for days.

Windows Vista and iTunes does not work

First Time sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany and my English is not the best.

And I have to use it, to manage my music on my iPod.
When there will be a Vista compatibles Version of iTunes??
And when will come an 64-Bit Version?
Thanks for Help,

iTunes running under VISTA does not recognize media burned by iTunes Backup (v7.0.2) from a non-Vista machine.
The original machine recognizes the media just fine, but the new VISTA machine does not recognize the dvd at all.
Anyone else having a problem with VISTA recognizing burnt media?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

Hello,
My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu

But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
I cannot check boxes,
My changes are not saved.
In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
Thank you for your help

ITunes does not work for Asia ( Hong Kong )

I just purchased my first iPod Nano ( 2nd Generation) was was told by store staff all I have to do is register and download apple itunes software and then I could download MP3 songs from iTunes...paying for songs of course.
I was shocked to learn that iTunes does not work for Hong Kong residents, nor does napster,yahoo music unlimited, etc.
I am a Canadian living in Hong Kong, so can not read write or understand chinese, does anyone know of a English subscibtion mp3 download service that works for Hong Kong, and not emusic, tried that one, not for me .
Please Help !

Do you still have a Canadian credit card and Canadian billing address? If so, you should still be able to use the Canadian store.

Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps). Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior. The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere. Specific syncs are not relevant.

Itunes does not work me in the pc

itunes does not work me in the pc, it gives me an unknown error 0x80090330

I "fought" for more than three months with a problem concerning the iPhone 3G. The operator did not introduce any amendments, and the error was corrected in time with the new software provided by Apple.
This time, Orange is also not able to improve anything. It seems that only Apple can do something about it.
On the Polish forum for Apple products, is a topic devoted to this problem.
http://myapple.pl/iphone-rozmowy-ogolne/150531-w-iphone-4-orange-rozmowca-nas-ni e-slyszy.html
Paste link in order not to be groundless.
Once again, I will describe exactly what the problem is.
During a conversation in a 3G coverage, I no longer hear the caller at a time when 3G coverage is lost and there is a change to the Edge.
By about 10 to 15 seconds the caller does not hear me. Once again, this time the caller hears me and the conversation can be conducted smoothly on Edge.
I would add that in other phones, as well as the iPhone 3G, switching from 3G to Edge is smooth and without any disturbance - the same network.

It sounds like you updated iTunes and now it will not open. Try the steps outlined in the following article. You may need to re install iTunes but your library will remain intact if you do.

Please help me!

*I just spoke with two different senior advisors from Apple one whose name was Matt and the other whose name was Zachary. They both were extremely rude and were not helpful at all. I explained the same exact scenario to them about how I just updated to iTunes 9.1.1 and that now my iPhone will not sync.*
The ONLY help they could give me was to purchase a plan for either 29.99 or 69.99
The reason no one from Apple will help us is because this company is based on greed. I am sure they knew about this bug that prevents thousands of users from syncing but I am also sure they assumed that we would pay the 29.99 or 69.99 for them to fix the problem. I honestly feel as though this is a scam to make more profit off of us.
There is absolutely NOTHING they can do to help they said except for me to purchase one of those two plans they offer. My question is WHY THE **** SHOULD I PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR? It should be there moral duty and responsibility to fix this bug yet because they know they will profit from it they have no intentions on doing so. The only thing I can really suggest is calling Apple and telling them how you feel. The more people who voice there opinions the better (just be prepared for them to tell you the ONLY thing they can do to fix the problem THEY created is by making YOU pay more money to fix it).
I am extremely disappointed as a loyal Apple customer and this has seriously made me reconsider ever buying another Apple product.
This company is morally and ethically wrong.
