ITunes issues with Windows XP - crazy error message

I've been using iTunes with XP and have no issues for years now. Today, when I went to open iTunes I received a message that Windows was configuring iTunes for installation. I am unable to complete installation and I receive this message..."Error writing to file C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesResources\pl.lproj\DevicePrefsPodcasts.nib\objects.xib.
Verify that you have access to that directory
Anybody have any idea what this is about, thanks.
When I cancel out I get a Problem with Shortcut box, Fatal error occurred during installation!

One more question though under Program Files-iTunes, I have multiple iTunes folders, labeled iTunes(2) and iTunes(4). Should I delete these or leave them alone?
I don't think they're any immediate cause for alarm if they're what I think they are ... have you done some system restores on that PC at some stage, Matt? If a system restore is done to a restore point "over the top" of an installation or upgrade of a program, sometimes the system restore will put program files dating back to the previous version back on the PC. By design, it doesn't want to overwirte existing files on the PC, so it renames the top-most folder containing the files it has put back "<Program name> (2)" or "<Program name> (3)" if there's already a "(2)" and so on.
(Because the installation database for the program doesn't realise that there are any such files in folders "<Program name> (2)" etc files on the PC, they generally don't get removed in the course of regular subsequent updates or uninstall/reinstalls of the program and they stay lurking around on the PC ... it's actually precisely the same phenomenon that we just exploited in order to convince the iTunes repair install to go through ...)

Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
How?
Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
Click "Apply" and "OK".
Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
Hope I helped!

Syncing iphone with windows 7 contacts - error message outlook.pst not foun

I have set set up ITunes to sync my Iphone GS with Windows Contacts. When I sync I get an error message :
The file c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\Outlook.pst could not be found
Sometimes the error message comes up 2 or 3 times.
Secondly, my Iphone is syncing with something because an old version of my windows address book is now on my iphone. Of course if I add a new contact to Windows Contacts, it does not appear on my iphone.
I dont have Outlook installed on my PC. It was removed, but I guess I do have an old outlook.pst file from my old times with Windows XP.
So how does Itunes manage the sync and how can I stop it syncing with my old address book and use Windows Contacts? I have tried resetting my sync history but it did not work.
I am running Windows7 (upgrade from Vista).

I am also having issues with syncing my Iphone 3GS with the latest version on Itunes. I have for a long while now been doing just great. My contacts, phone numbers, emails have all synced very nicely, no problems. As soon as I downloaded the new Itunes 9.1 I can no longer sync contacts, and calendars, as usual.
I tried several things that were suggested to me in the troubleshooting but nothing has helped. It usually tells me that my computer is not set up for syncing, and after arranging that it still doesn't work. As well, it says it cannot find the requested services.
Please help.
I am running windows 7, and have been for a while, it's not windows 7, it's the new Itunes upgrade.

IE 11 with Windows 7 prining error message

Ever since I switched from Windows XP to windows 7 and to IE 11, I can not print attachments to most emails. I get an error message about an internal error. My printer is HP LaserJet 1022. I've tried troubleshooting the printer, driver downloads etc to
no avail. Is there something else I can try?

Hi,
I suggest to post the screenshot of the internal error for further support, this will help to understand this issue.

OS X remote desktop failure to PC with Windows Server - no error messages

Recently I installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop App on my iPhone 5s and successfully managed to connect to a machine which is running Windows Server. I also frequently connect to it using remote desktop on a PC.
I have since installed the Remote Desktop app onto a Macbook with Yosemite and the exact same settings do not work. When I click start, I get a black screen which says 'Initializing' and then 'Connecting' and then the window simply closes, with absolutely
no error message or warning.
The connection involves specifying a gateway if this is of relevance.
Given connection is possible using the same app on another device, I cannot reconcile the fact that it does not work through a Macbook and it's very frustrating because things I need to do are essentially not worth doing on the iPhone screen.
At the moment, the only thing I can think of is that the app version for iPhones works and the one for actual Mac computers is faulty because I see these are different versions.
Please help or restore my sanity by confirming my suspicions and if it is so, advise when the Mac version will be rectified. Alternatively, if there is an old version which would work, please can you provide a link to where I can install this?
Thanks in anticipation!

Hi,
From your description it seems that your MRD MAC is not working. Can you let us know which version of MRD MAC you are using, please try to use latest version v 8.0.13 and check?
Btw, by which method you are trying to remote connect (via IP address or Hostname). Please try alternate way and see. Also you can find the log on below path for more research on MAC.
Microsoft Remote Desktop>About Microsoft Remote Desktop>Send log via email
Apart for a try, built URI scheme and connect the server to check. You can get information over
here.
And for older version, sorry to say but there is no such option to download.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

I am having issues with Time Machine. Error message "The backup disk image could not be created.

Error message "The backup disk image could not be created." I have tried everything I have found online in the community from TM full reset to changing my computers name. Anything else I can try? I am using a Seagate external HD with a connection through my router. I spent an hour on the phone with seagate and everything is ok on the HD end.
TM sees it and it is mounted but cannot go any further. HELP?!!!!
Thanks

How should it be connected? It has a usb port and ethernet. The USB on the ExHD looks like the port on the back of my computer, so I would need one wth the same ends? Do they make those?
I can usually fix most my comp problems myself, but this new ExHD has stumped me.
Thanks for your help.

During Itunes download for windows 7 64bit, error message says "Service Apple Mobile device" failed to start

During Itunes installation on my Windows 7 64 bit computer.. I get the following message which won't allow installation:
Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
This occurred after an itunes update to my computer that produced a corrupted msvcr80.dll file. So I deleted Itunes and reinstalled.

Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, I think you have to hold down the shift key when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
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.

ITunes issues with Windows 7 64 bit

SO i upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and I see 10s of thousands of posts lamenting the fact that iTunes does not work with Wondows 7 64 bit. This is an Apple issue not a Microsoft issue. I expect more from Apple. I am now hostage to the many many $$ and time I've invested in Apple TV and programs, iTunes music, etc. . . Apple has dropped the ball and I want to know when they will fix this debacle?

Did you download the 64bit version of iTunes? I have Win7 Pro 64 bit and iTunes works on my pc. Just keep in mind that when you upgrade your OS, that doesn't mean that your programs automatically switch to 64 bit too, you may need to do a lot of re-installing of some of your programs

Complicating issue with CS 5 installation error message

I have installed CS5 (not CC) onto my laptop, as my second install. I am getting the message "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running PS, are missing. Please run the PS installer and re-install PS." I know others have had this problem, as well, as I have read many posts in the forum. The problem is that If I uninstall it, I won't be able to reinstall because this is my 2nd install. I'm sure there must be some way to rectify this problem, but I need help from an adobe staff person. Please help!

station_two,
I can't thank you enough for your help! This took care of all of my PS problems. I've been sitting here for two days, trying to get help. I spoke with two people I could barely understand, who sent me on wild goose chases. Another told me the problem couldn't be resolved and that my only choice was to get CS6. Anyway, not to unload on you... but THANK YOU!!

Itunes issue with windows 8

I'm running windows 8 and my Itunes which was in xp mode wont work- it's telling me to turn off compatibility mode, not sure how to do this?

Yes. Some are complaining.
Search iTunes.exe. RIght Click, Properties, Compatibility, Click Run this program as Adminitrator. OK.
See if this helps

Printing from IE9 with Windows 7. Error message: "There was an internal error and internet explorer is unable to print this document".

I can copy a page and paste it into word and it prints fien. I can print all word documents, Excel document, powerpoint documents, PDF documnets stored and opened from Adobe acrobat, but not PDFs while still online. I have reloaded the printer driver (HP
1020 laserjet) searched through any windows and IE updates all to no avail. I tried running IE as adminitrator and turning off "Enable protected mode". I tried to run Mr Fixit to recreate a missing folder and it said "does not apply to your problem" (or words
to that effect). I am running MS Office 2010 and Windows 7 and IE9. Help!

OK, I found the solution for this, at least for IE 64 bit. My IE 32 bit never had this problem. I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
I read, from someone else, that opening IE 64 bit (right click on IE icon) and select "Run as Administrator" would allow you to print. Doing that way has to be done each time you open IE 64 bit...BUT...If you right click on the IE 64 bit
icon (not the one in the Taskbar) and slide down to 'properties' and then left click, you will see an "Advanced" tab box (about 2/3rds the way down) that allows you to open another properties page. Click it open and select "Run as administrator".
This will allow you to print by just opening IE 64 bit the normal way and going to whatever webpage you want to print. I have done several tests and all seems back to normal.
