Itunes problems with Vista

Has anyone run into a problem with Itunes not being able to play audio tracks from cd, and not able to import from a cd? (Using Vista Ultimate)I can play existing audio files, but not from a disc and it won't import.
I have tried uninstalling vers. 7.1 and re-installing. I have tried updating my firmware for my two drives and I have also enabled administrative permissions for Itunes under the, annoying UAC built into Vista. Nothing seems to resolve the issue.

Which versions of each? iTunes was updated to 7.5. iTunes may not support x64.
Did you tell or let iTunes during the install to "use iTunes for playing all supported media?"

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

Hi,
I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
Try:
1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

HT1926 (iTunes) Problem with Windows installer package?

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls - CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") does NOT open its window in the CreateObject("AcroExch.App") - but opens a new (invisible) window. Works correctly in XP x64 and 32 bit Vista - happens with Acrobat v8 and v9.

Again, I contend that something changed between 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.

T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

Hi!
I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

Try the following test:
- Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
- Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
Is the test OK?

Itunes problem with windows Vista

ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

Hi
I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

I bought a ipod touch second generation from someone at work and it wont sync with itunes. i am using vista on a pc,and i have reloaded itunes 5 times and it still wont sync. i think it is a problem with vista as i had my ipod and sync cable checked outok

i bought a ipod touch from a coworker and it wont sync up with my pc. i have reloaded itunes 5 times, checked my security which is allowing it through and had the ipod and sync cable checked at a local store. i think it has somthing to do with vista operating system, the ipod does not show up in devices and it continues to beep when it is plugged into the usb. this is my first ipod and so far am very frustrated .

'iTunes has stopped working' error message on iTunes startup with vista

Today i downloaded iTunes 7.1, i opened it and all seemed well, i played a few tracks etc.
but, when i plugged my ipod in i was told that iTunes has stopped working,
i tried to open it again, but the same message pops up.
so i restarted the computer, tried again, with and without the ipod in, still no success.
So i re installed itunes. Noting, i even re-dowloaded it, but still nothing.
i can't even open it, let alone sync my ipod.
I am currently running vista premium, and i had ipod problems with 7.0.2, i had to manually manage the iPod, auto sync crashed the computer. How do i fix it?!?

Itunes problems with windows 7 64 bit

Hi, i have searched and searched for a solution to my on going problems with itunes on my windows 7 64bit computer.
it started with my backups not being saved when i sync, then any music i add seems to play strangely i.e skips and plays the start of the song in the middle.
updating last sunday to the new iphone os (4.3) was also a disaster, having to try a number of times over 2-3 days as the downloads just seemed to hang and not do anything. At the end on around my 10th try it downloaded and updated in around 15 mins.
I now find myself when i connect to itunes more often than not having to manually delete corupt backups until i get a succesful one as sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.
I tryed a vista computer a friend has and everything worked perfectly!
songs, backups the lot!!
So it clearly seems like a problems between windows 7 64bit and iphone 4.
can anyone please shed some light on these issues??????
Many thanks, gaggie...

I am not sure that I can help with this, but I have seen an instance where continuous backup software cased playback problems.
Also are you using any Norton products?

Upgrade problems with vista

Just loaded Itunes newest version to my vista system and now when I play songs they become choppy. It may play great for about 5 minutes then it will become choppy for about 5 to 10 seconds then play fine.
My other laptop with xp plays perfect with the same exact library. Wondering if any else has similiar issues.

I think because the upgrade that was just created for vista is so new maybe the bugs havent all been worked out yet. I plan on waiting a while before downloading it to my new vista laptop. I'm a little paranoid because I don't want to have any problems with it so soon.

Does 32-bit itunes work with Vista 64-bit ?

will the latest 32-bit version of itunes install and run properly on the Vista 64-bit OS ?
this is my last attempt to get itunes to work on my machine, tried everything else and frankly disgusted thus far with the freezing, etc.

i'm curious....if previous versions of itunes were installed, and i run the updater or do a full uninstall of apple software on my machine, does that completely wipe everything that was installed ? for example, the Gear drivers, USB drivers, etc ?
after numerous times trying to use itunes, it binds up (randomly), and eventually binds up windows. i can't shut down itunes, even with taskman. only option is to hard shut down my machine. up until yesterday i had not had a problem doing this, windows booted up fine. but last night i corrupted my OS, i finally got it back up and running, but there were problems after the repair. so i chose to wipe the raid array and start from scratch.
if a fresh, first time install of itunes 8 x64 will work fine, i will do it, but before i load any apple apps on my machine, this time around i'm backing up the entire partition just in case.
if i still get the problems i had before, i am reverting back to the pre-apple state, and going with wmp.
the logic here is: if a company goes on tv and bashes it's competition (Apple bashing Vista), then it's a no brainer that the problems inherit to windows users are 'seeded' by Apple. I cannot accept that Apple doesn't know what they are doing when they write software, because they are bright enough to write such software that does so many fantastic things for Macs, how is doing the same for windows that much more complicated ?

Sync problem with Vista

Got the 8gb 3g a few weeks ago from T Mobile and got it unlocked officially to transfer to Vodafone contract. Sync set up on Vista installed and ran perfectly for a few weeks but suddenly developed many problems about ten days ago.
On connection Pop up: "Sync server has stopped working. A problem caused etc"
followed by -
"iTtunes cannot sync information with the iphone because syncing has been disabled"
followed by -
"iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Server. Reconnect or try again later."
It then says its syncing but doesn't.
On the info tab on iTunes the boxes for the Calendar, Contacts and Notes have now become unticked. I try to tick the boxes for all three but Calendar cannot be ticked and whilst Contacts and Notes can be ticked they immediately become unticked.
Another problem has developed over the last few days, probably unrelated, in that the screen suddenly goes white and then coloured horizontal lines flash on the screen and then it dies. Leaving it for a few minutes and restarting seems to clear it but I am now concerned that I am going to lose all the data which has not been backed up. Can anyone help me please?

Windows + iPhone seem not to completely work friendly with each other with contact, agenda and notes. I have been some problems with that too, i just ignore the fact that i can sync those things with my Windows because it's the only thing i don't understand and i got problems with.
Apple does NOT allow certificates on unlocked iPhones. Means you cannot receive push notifications nor you are allowed to have contact with the Apple iPhone servers. It's just the fact that you unlocked your iPhone, that's all.
Going back to AT&T, T-mobile or any other legal distributer of an iPhone and the problem will be solved..

Using one iTunes library with Vista and XP on a single PC

Since I have converted my whole CD collection into AAC, my iTunes library
is quite large. I have now installed Vista on a second partition as dual-boot
with my old XP. I would like to access my iTunes library with both OSs - but can (and how) this be done ? I already changed the location in both Itunes to the same path, but the second iTunes running under Vista isnt able to import the songs.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

It's the "itunes library.itl" file in Windows, and the same thing without the itl file extension on Macs.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
You might be able to get it to update both copies in each partition with something like TuneRanger or SuperSync. That would run into some money, esp a Tune Ranger license for both Mac and Windows.
Why not put your ITL file on a USB stick or external hard drive, and run your itunes library from that? You can tell the Mac to use the .itl for iTunes by changing properties on it. That's what I did so I can sync my iPods from either my XP PC or Mac and not get that dratted message about "iPod synced to another library".
