ITunes, iPhone, will not work on Vista with DEP !!!

I am having a problem with the latest version of iTunes. If you have Data Execution Prevention (DEP) turned for "all programs and services" iTunes will lock up when you go to click on the iPhone tab in the iTunes preferences. You receive an error that Apple Mobile Device Helper has stopped working. Probably, this a new module added to iTunes for the iPhone and was not tested with DEP. The application wants to access the hardware in some way. When this happens you have to force close iTunes.
You can turn DEP on just for "essential Windows programs and services only" for an intern solution to the problem. I have not tried but I think we might have to add the apple mobile helper exe to the list of allowed applications in DEP.
I hope the apple engineers are reading the form and can look into this problem.

If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes on Windows but is being recognized by your computer (can you see it in My Computer?); rather than remove/reinstall things over and over (which is an 'I hope it fixes itself' approach) just ensure that your iPhone can communicate with iTunes.
The iTunes installer isn't a very effective piece of software as you're probably noticed.
There overview of what we're going to do is:
1) We're going to make sure Apple's Mobile service is installed. By extracting the install file from the main setup file using WinRar.
2) We're going to make sure that service is started.
3) We're going to make sure the iPhone is using the right driver to talk to it.
You'll need to use the Device Manager, Services Manager and install WinRar. If these steps are too complex for you, just ask a friend to do them.
Start by closing iTunes and pluggin in your iPhone with the power on.
1) Now Make sure Mobile Service is installed (steps these follow)
a) Have a copy of the iTunes 7.5 setup file (download it if you don't have it)
b) Download winRar and install it.
c) After winRar is installed, right click the iTunes setup file (iTunes75setup) and choose extract to iTunes75Setup\
d) Go into the newly created iTunes75Setup folder
e) Double click AppleMobileDeviceSupport (.msi)
f) Install it
2) Make sure Apple Mobile Device serve is turned on via Services.
a) Go to start, run
b) type in services.msc and click ok
c) Find Apple Mobile Device, right click and choose start (or restart)
3) Install the correct driver for the iPhone via Device Manager
a) Go to start, run
b) Type in devmgmt.msc and click ok
c) Expand Imaging devices and right click Apple iPhone
d) Choose Update Driver
e) Choose 'No, not this time' radio, click next
f) Choose 'install from a specific location (advanced)
g) Choose 'Search for the best...'
h) Uncheck Search removable media...
i) Check Include this locaiton in search
j) in the text box type/paste the below line:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
If any of the driver update steps are missing or differ on your system but you see the Apple iPhone device, then you can try to change its driver to the driver in the above listed folder using whatever steps yours shows.
If you're using a foreign Windows then the word 'Program Files' may be something different like 'Programmer' so change it accordingly... You can always click browse instead and manually find the folder.
k) click next, then after it installs click Finish.
Now you can open iTunes and it will be able to detect and talk to your phone.

  • My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

    My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

    First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

  • ITunes content will not copy to ATV1 with latest 11.0.2 (26) iTunes software

    Can anybody help please?  I did a software update (middle March 2013) on my iTunes to the latest 11.0.2 (26) version and my Apple TV gen 1 will not work correctly (iTunes is on a 27" iMac).  The ATV1 has the latest software on it and I also did a factory re-set on it and software update to make sure it's all up to date.
    I can see the ATV1 in iTunes but I can't seem to copy across any content - it only seems to work by streaming now, so the capacity shown on the ATV1 in iTunes is minimal.  I've tried various options ticking and trying to sync content but nothing will seem to copy across to the ATV1.
    I'm more than happy just to stream content to my ATV1 but there the problem, it keeps stalling as we watch anything - very annoying!  I'm lost as to what to do, can anybody help please - is this an issue with the latest iTunes software working with an ATV1?  I have a Linksys WRT310N router which seems to work fine with my ATV2 so I guess that's not the problem as the ATV1 is within 10 feet of the router!  Any help or advice would be great, thanks.....

    It's possible the AppleTV is being seen as a streaming only library - are you able to view streamed content under My Movies etcor My Shared Movies etc?
    If the content is new and is HD it's possible you're downloading 1080p which ATV1 can't handle or sync.

  • HT2204 Itunes password will not work when I purchase items after reseting passwords

    Have used Itunes for years with no incident.  Now, every time I try to purchase a song, book, app...it prompts me for my username and password.  Despite knowing it....it will not work. I've logged out / logged back in several times no luck.  I've updated my password successfully.  But again, each time I try to purchase something, I type in my username / password and it says that it is not correct.  ***.  Have recently even updated Itunes to make sure everything there is up to date.  Is there some virus that could be involved here.  HELP!!

  • Help! please! digital-in not working in vista with xfi ga

    I just bought a digital I/O module for my Xfi Gamer card. I was using the youppax driver set. I am not getting any sound from the Digital in on the card. Also the digital I/O selection is greyed out in my control panel. Does anyone know how to get the digital in to work? Next I think I will try to remove all the drivers and software for my xfi and reinstall the Creative Labs latest drivers, do you think that will help?I am sure other people have had this issue also. My primary purpose for my sound card is so I can do multitrack recording on my PC using the digital-in as the source. I have been doing this on my XP machine for years now. This is killing me, Help!!! Please!
    !!! Thanks,

    The Digital IO module connects to X-fi cards via the Flexijack, which on all of them except the XtremeGamer is an electrical connection. Unfortunately the XtremeGamer's digital flexijack functions are optical-out (only) instead, so the I/O Module won't work with it. The Product page for the Digital IO Module shows what cards it works with. The XtremeGamer doesn't work with the external IO console either due to the lack of the needed connector. Unfortunately this means there is no way to get a digital signal into that particular X-fi card. Sorry

  • Mobile 8.1 on iphone will not work with Force Authorization Code

    Hi All,
    not sure if you guys encounter this, my environment is using FAC to control IDD calls. It works perfectly on my desk phone, but on my mobile 8.1, it's not working.
    when i try to dial to overseas number, it wouldnt prompt me for the FAC code and it will just "call failed" after a while. May i know if there are any solution to this?

    Hi Mike,
    In my opinion you have a routing problem. Please check if a VPN client knows the route to the other VPN client. Print route on a VPN laptop. Check gateway for the given IP range (default or static route).
    Then on your internal routing equipment you must have route for your VPN ip range configured.
    If I'm not wrong you cannot ask your VPN box to route traffic directly between 2 established tunnels. It must first go outside first tunnel and then revert back to VPN concentrator and enter second tunnel.
    Signaling differs from RTP because it goes through the SIP proxy and not p2p, so that's why it rings.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Transfering Pictures from Laptop to itunes - Iphone will not accept

    I have pictures loaded from a digital camera onto my Vista OS laptop. The pictures were loaded in the windows application for pictures.
    The pictures were transferred to itunes however when I went to sync - the error came back that Iphone can not view pictures.
    The odd thing about this is when I loaded a Iphone using an xp laptop with the same pictures it worked. I have not been able to figure out why I can not load successfully from the vista OS. Any ideas?

    I believe I read somewhere that subfolders can only be used down to one level, i.e. main and one subfolder.

    I would appreciate your assistance!

    It sounds as though you need this article on trouble installing iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    You need the section at the end after "Important: A majority of customers..."
    I think you need to do a full removal of iTunes and quciktime with clean up. But the important bit is to clean up the installer files with the MS Installer Clean Up Utility.
    If cleanup doesn't seem to work, it is worth checking you have the right version of the Windows installer. If you find it in add remove programs, it should say "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)"

  • ITunes 6 will not work

    I have tried it all
    every support option every re-install everything but iTunes 6 will just not work on my computer
    any suggestions would be great!

    hi paul!
    Additionally quicktime will not run when i attempt to open it.
    i think your intuitions are right here. a broken QT will cause these "itunes has encountered an error ..." messages on launch.
    let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 reinstall again.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) let's also switch off any antivirus and antispyware software prior to the install.

    does that install go through okay? will itunes launch properly after that?
    keep us posted.
