ITunes for Vista

Is there any iTunes out there that is able to run properly on Vista? I can't install any of the updates for iTunes or my iPod. There doesnt seem to be anything on the site that supports or even talks about supporting windows vista
Its great having Longhorn and all, but if i cant use my iPod then f**k.

Mind the language, please.
If Apple releases a version for vista, I'm sure it will be all over their website. Since vista isn't released yet, it doesn't seem to be a good business decision by Apple to put any programmers hot on the vista trail.

Does Apple have a Data Execution Prevention (DEP) compatible version of iTunes for Vista?

I have followed instructions found on the Apple Support boards for the past 3 days regarding the fact that DEP will not allow the iTunes updates to operate on Windows Vista. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have uninstalled adn reinstalled iTunes, only to get the same results. It instally correctly, but will not open. It gets shut down by DEP every time. YOU CAN'T TURN OFF DEP FOR iTUNES IN VISTA!!! I don't care what the instructions from Apple and Microsoft say, it can't be done.
So, does anybody know if Apple has a version of the iTunes that is compatible with DEP? Or, are that hopefully at least working on one? My iPhone and iPod are useless.

Have you downloaded and installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 yet?
This may assist you with that you are running into. If you have already done this let me know. Could still potentially be something going on with the Apple Software.
If this is the case the link below describes how to fully clean out Apple Software. Possible file that belongs to Apple may of become corrupted and thus causing iTunes not to launch Properly.
But before you check the article out. Have you right clicked on the iTunes Application and chose Run as Administrator?
You can also right click on the iTunes App, Select Properties, and select Compatibility Mode - And make sure that is not turned on and set for something else. As this could potentially be running in a different mode.

ITunes for Vista: Please Read!

Hello there! Recently I got my very first iPod, and I've spent the past week or so trying to get iTunes to run on my system. Here is it's specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 1
Model: a6060a
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System.
If any other information is required, please ask.
So after discovering iTunes, I downloaded it straight from the Apple site. It also came with Quicktime. I double-clicked on the .exe file to install it, and all appeared successful. I restarted my computer to find that iTunes would not open. A message appeared saying: "iTunes has stopped working." It then attempts to find a 'solution'. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
At the bottom of the message is a 'Close Program' button. I pressed this, and from the taskbar another message popped up saying: "iTunes was closed. To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes. Click to learn more."
I uninstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, then reinstalled it from the same .exe that I downloaded from Apple. Same outcome. I tried once again, but this time deleting any leftover files or folders from the start menu. I went to Program Files and System32 to see if any items related to iTunes or Quicktime were there. I also deleted the temp files. Same outcome, again.
I opened the Run feature by holding down the Windows button and R on the keyboard. I typed in msconfig and System Configuration opened. I went to the Services and Startup tabs, and disabled all programs there except:
Apple Mobile Device
Bonjour Service
iPod Service
Quicktime
iTunes
All of these programs belong to Apple. After restarting my computer, I found that iTunes still wouldn't open. I know that there is also a program called iTunesHelper or something like that. It wasn't in the list at the time I tried this.
I then left iTunes on my computer, but deleted all traces of Quicktime. I also uninstalled a program called the Ace Mega Codecs Pack. Apparently it has been known to upset Quicktime and iTunes a lot. I downloaded the latest standalone version of Quicktime, installed it and then rebooted. Quicktime now runs perfectly after uninstalling the Codec pack, but iTunes still refuses to open. I do not know whether I have any other Codec packs on my system. I don't think so.
I tried disabling my Norton Antivirus/Protection Center entirely. I don't know how to use it, to be honest, but there didn't seem to be a list of blocked programs there. Although Norton was off, iTunes still would not open.
As a last attempt, I tried turning off System Restore. I can't remember where I read this, but for someone it worked. After finding that iTunes still would not open, I gave up.
So now I've tried just about everything I can think of and find on the internet. It's hopeless, and I know that many, many other people have this issue. When I connect my iPod to the computer, it attempts to open iTunes. However the same error appears. Please could somebody help me? I'm stuck.
Thank you so very much!

It seems iTunes for Vista 64 bit isn't itself a 64 bit application

When I am on my 64 bit Vista box and I go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ site and it identified my system as "Vista (64-bit)" and I proceed with the download, and run the installer it provided it installed into c:\program files (x86)\ which is where it installs 32 bit programs. I also verified the file name to be the 64 bit one as identified in this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301.
If it is installing into x86 folder it is not a 64 bit application. It may be a special 32 bit application that works correctly on the 64 bit version of Vista but it is not 64 bit according to Vista. Most of what I have seen seems to be misleading and not be clear on this, it seems to be implying that it is a 64 bit version of iTunes when it is not. This may have been unintentional on Apple's part.

Yeah I am not disputing that it is doing what it is supposed to. I am just disputing that it is misleading. I think it should be very clear and state that this is a 32 bit version of iTunes specific for installing on 64 bit versions of Vista.

Install itunes for vista

Finally talked to tech support for 2 hrs this am...they had me uninstall itunes and quicktime...now we can't install itunes at all. Whether we run or save it goes thru the motion but does not install. When we save to desktop it goes the 99%, icon shows for just a second (itunes setup) then disappears!!!! Anyone have this happen? I'm so frustrated...don't know what to do...

What your going to want to do is download windows installer cleanup utility from microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then go into all programs and click on the clean up utility
Find and remove iTunes, quicktime, apple mobile device support, apple software update
Then create a new user account and run msconfig just follow these steps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
what that is going to do is make sure nothing is blocking the iTunes download like a fire wall.
Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and download quicktime, make sure you save it to the desktop. see if it downloads, if it does then you want to go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and download itunes, save this to the desktop as well.
once it downloads to the desktop right click on it and select properties, check the file size, if it is over 70mb then you have the full file
run it and it should work:)

Downloading iTunes for Vista problem....

Hi all. I recently did a Factory Restore on my Gateway PC (about 8 months old). After everything was returned to the original settings, I tried to go ahead and download iTunes from Apple's website. However, everytime I hit save, the download begins and either stops the downloading process right away (at 1%) or it will stop later on (around 9%). I have tried to download iTunes from a different website, I tried to download just Quicktime (which isn't working either)and I've tried installing both together and all have been unsuccessful. Every other program has downloaded fine. Any suggestions on what to do? I really miss iTunes and I need it for my iPhone. HELP!!!

However, everytime I hit save, the download begins and either stops the downloading process right away (at 1%) or it will stop later on (around 9%).

What browser have you been using for the downloads, p? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa)?

This should get your itunes store connection working.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -

(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Adding new Visualizer(s) to iTunes for Windows (Vista/7 64-bit)

I was actually kinda curious, not really a technical question, but are there ways to add other visualizers into iTunes? I ask this in particular, as I have worked with Macs before, and I fell in love with the Jelly visualizer from 10.5, and would love to have that same one running on Windows Vista. Any suggestions as to where other visualizers can be obtained, or how to port one over from Mac to PC?

That version is quite old now, though its fine if you don't have a device that requires a newer version for syncing or want to use the latest features. Should you want to bring things up to date howver, and have problems updating, then 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 installation or 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.

It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

HT1923 After uninstalling and reinstalling itunes according to the instructions for Vista, I do not have QuickTime in my programs. Am I supposed to install QuickTime separately? Isnt it supposed to install with Itunes automatically?

After uninstalling and reinstalling itues according to instructions for Vista, QuickTime doesn't appear in my programs, I don't seem to have it anywhere, Isn't QuickTime supposed to be part of the Itunes installation? Is the absence of it why no ipod will function correctly for me?

Let's first try something relatively simple. Download and save a 64-bit version of the iTunes installer (iTunes64Setup.exe) to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line.)
Now try right-clicking the installer file and selecting "Run as administrator".
Does that get you past the privileges errors?
