ITunes & User Account Control In Windows 7 64 Bit

I have an iPod Touch 5G, and a PC running Windows 7 64 bit. The latest Windows 64 bit iTunes with the latest update that was released a few days ago is installed. When the PC starts, a warning screen appears asking if I want to allow iTunes to run. This is the iTunes Helper app that wants to open first and stay resident so that if I plug in my iPod Touch it will be recognized and open iTunes as designed.
Yes, on the summary pane in iTunes, the “Open iTunes when this iPod is attached” option is checked and so is the option for connecting via wireless.
The only way to prevent this is to turn off User Account Control for the entire PC which of course should not be necessary if iTunes was working as designed with the proper certificates installed.
I have removed iTunes, Bonjour and the two other Apple apps that appear in Control Panel >Programs, then re-installed the iTunes Win7 64 bit file as administrator.
It's installed as the administrator and the only user on the PC, hence by default I am the administrator. I have also clicked on Properties for iTunes, Run as Administrator, but the UAC warning screen will still appear every single time I boot the PC.
How do I get iTunes to be properly recognized so that Windows doesn’t detect it as a rouge program trying to gain access that it’s not entitled to.
Furthermore, this also prevents me from drag & dropping songs from Explorer to iTunes. The only way I can drag & drop songs from Explorer to iTunes is to turn UAC off completely.This is a feature that is explained in the instructions as a means of linking songs from your Explorer folders so they reflect in iTunes.
This appears to have been an issue since 2010 as others have experienced it also, so hopefully by now the procedure for resolving it must have surfaced.

Quicktime does NOT start
Many thanks.
In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Does Firefox respect user account control rules for windows xp sp3, anything to do specifically to enable that ?

xp sp3
1.5g R / 2.46g P4
<u>edit information copied from System Info troubleshooting: </u>
More Information
*1)Does Firefox latest version obey/confirm to the rules for user account control for windows xp sp3 ?
* 2)Need I do anything specific at the time of installation and/or setting up/configuring preferences ?
*3)Or do I need to install Firefox separately for the limited users or in each users account ?
*4)Would it be possible/desirable/necessary to install it directly into some folder of the user other than the common program files folder ?
*5)In any of these situations, should I or should I not make the installation with 'Run As' admin privilege.
*6)If I install separately for the user/s, with/without admin privileges, will the install write to , or enable user activity to write to, the other common windows folders(where user write is otherwise disallowed).
Please kindly clarify. I am waiting for an answer before I reinstall Firefox and a lot of other apps(these were done earlier before creating the user accounts. Please note that I do not mind installing separately for any/all users. But security will be my preference as much as possible(PARANOIA). I am having to deal with a couple of users who cant understand all this and the folks are too old to understand.
Thanking you in anticipation

A far as I recall from when I did use XP the procedure was to install Firefox using an Admin account, preferably the Administrator account.
By doing that the Firefox installer would create Firefox within the programs directory. And each separate user account could then use Firefox. Importantly each user account has a Firefox profile and so have their own separate and individual bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache etc.
IIRC UAC was not available for XP. Permissions and what you could do would also differ; I seem to remember; depending on whether it was using FAT or NTFS. In some setups a knowledgeable admin account user could probably fully access any other account.

User Account Control Problems with Premier Elements 7 32 bit in 64 Bit Windows 7

I found User Account Control Problems in other forums but didn't see much in Premiere Elements, so I hope this helps others who may be having problems with 32 bit programs in a 64 bit computor. When I first got my 64 bit I didn't have problems.
Back in February I bought a Quad Core Desktop with Windows 7 64 bit. Haven't been on the forum for 7 months since I wrote in regarding importing video with the Pyro AV Link (Premiere Elements Tips and Tricks). I was having problems importing video which started after March 28 sometime, as that was the last time I didn't have a problem importing VHS. Took me a few months off and on to find out what worked.
I started uninstalling Windows updates and any programs I had installed back to that point in time. Checked after uninstalling each item. The capture screen would come up on a delayed basis but clicking on capture did nothing. Although no driver is required for IE1394 (so they say) I read where some people using the Legacy driver had fixed some problems, so I switched to the Legacy. Seemed to work great (for a few minutes).
I had even uninstalled and reinstalled PE7 but no difference. Finally I noticed a shield in the PE7 Desktop icon. Thats weird. Never had that before. Just decided to show up after I had done all of the stuff I mentioned. Turns out at some point in time since I've had the computor Windows 7 decided to flag my 32 bit program as misusing the 64 bit system. User Account Control. I never bothered too much with UAC and just clicked on the yes box wen it popped up asking if I wanted this or that to take control of my computor. I tried using the minimum setting for safety reasons, and then finally turned User Account Control off. Bingo! PE7 capture works again and still working.
While I am not recommending that people arbitrarily turn UAC off, this appeared to be my problem. I would recommed that they try turning it off before uninstallin a bunch of stuff. Having a restore point may or may not have been a fix for me. I think one of the Windows Updates caused the problem but I am not going to uninstall any more stuff at this point, I have not been back on the internet or installed any more updates in my desktop. I am going to use my laptop for internet and used the desktop for video.
I am guessing this could be a problem for any 64 bit systems trying to use 32 bit programs. IE: XP,Vista,Windows 7 64 bit. In Vista there is also Data Execution Prevention (DEP) which you can turn on or off, supposedly to prevent misuse of memory (as I understand it), but Win7 either doesn't have it or I haven't found where it's located.
Maybe this has been covered in the forum somewhere and I missed reading it. Hope I am not too confusing. Anyway, whatever feedback you guys have would be great.

John,
    Thanks for your answer, and I did check out the link you suggested. However, I have Windows 7 Home Premium as most people have I think, and the XP program was not available. I started with Vista and now have Win 7. I never could navigate around in XP anyway so am content to just leave User Account Control off.
    Interesting side note to turning UAC off is that my desktop seemed to be using more of the CPUs, where half of them were "Parked" as I wrote in also about 7 months ago when I 1st got my desktop. I am pleased to say that video processing seems to go quicker with UAC off. Have to observe things some more to confirm.
    I just thought if others were having problems after installing Windows Updates and leaving UAC off worked then they could possibly pinpoint a problem.

Trial version, windows 7 user account control box comes up

Downloaded trial version of InDesign CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit OS system. I've also downloaded the most current update. Initial problem during installation of the program was that it wouldn't allow me to dowload all components, I think when I followed the technical link, it said something about having to edit the registry and something to do with ICC profiles. I skipped that for now, didn't really want to go in and edit the registry until I played with the program a bit.
The question I have right now is, that while I can eventually get in the program and run it, when I click to start it, a Windows 7 User Account Control box pops up asking if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer. When I click details, it appears the Adobe certificate for this probram is not Windows 7 certified?? Does this happen to anyone else operating on Windows 7?? How do you get rid of that pop up box?? I know I can change my user account settings to not notify me, but that would leave my computer very vunerable so I rather not do that.
Only other program I had bring up that pop up on Windows 7 was Netscape 7, and that pop up box got pretty annoying so I had to go to another browser (yes I know Netscape was out dated, but I loved the email program vs. IE Outlook. I thought maybe it had something to do with my Norton antivirus and called their tech support and they told me no, it was a problem between Windows 7 and the program compatibility.

It's a brand new HP desktop PC with Windows 7 Professional factory insta
lled. Yes, I'm the ony User, have Admin rights.
I looked at the certificate details when the pop up comes up and it lookes like the certificate is outdate, expired 12/10/09. I wonder if I'm getting an expired certificate because it's only a Trial version of InDesign CS4.
I went into the Windows User Account and tried to figure out the certificate manager, but I just don't understand it and can't figure out how to get it to allow this certificate so I don't get this annoying pop up window asking me if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer everytime I start the program.

Windows 7 - User Account Control

Hi,
When I open itunes in Windows 7 I get the following:
User Account Control
- Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer
If I select "yes" , I then get the following:
itunes has been set to run in compatibility mode foran older version of windows
Any ideas on how to fix this other than changing the User Account Control to off ? I am running as admin.
Thanks In Advance

Thanks , I had done that before but this time I made changes for all users and it fixed it. However , I'm still getting the "User Account Control" prompt. Any ideas on how to fix that ?

TS1389 iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases How to fix? Have removed sc info folder and adjusted user account controls per instructions

My ITunes sore account repeatedly prompts to authorize computer. I have deauthorized and reauthorized computer. I only have one computer authorized. I have changed the user account controls per instructions. I have removed the SC Info folder per instructions for Windows 7 and nothing works. Everything was working fine a few days ago.

I have now checked my purchaes and when I check the video info by going to File/Get Info, I notice that some of the most recent purchases do not list my apple id whereas previous purchaes do.
How do I correct this?

How to I get rid of pop up user account control "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" I have windows 7 professional.

I keep getting an annoying pop up the says "User Account Control" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days after I downloaded Firefox and set as my default browser.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Forms Authentication Error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed

I created a custom security extension following the steps listed in the Readme_Security Extension Sample. It works fine if I login as the user that is specified AdminConfiguration section of the rsreportserver.config file but if I
log in as another user, I get this error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed. I've added the user to both System Administrator
and System User roles to try to get it to work but still no luck.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi MetronM,
The issue is due to that user have no permission to access the report server. In report manager, Reporting Services includes predefined roles that we can assign to users and groups to provide immediate access to a report server. Each role defines a collection
of related tasks.
You can refer to the following steps to assign corresponding role to the user.
Open report manager.
Click “Folder Setting” button.
Click “New Role Assignment” icon.
Type the user name and select the corresponding role.
There is an article about Granting Permissions on a Native Mode Report Server, you can refer to it.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or

CS4-64bit in Vista - Keep getting "User Account Control" popup whenever I open a file! Argh

Anyone know how to turn off the lame User Account Control switch for Photoshop? Whenever I try to open a PSD file (even from Bridge), I get the annoying Vista warning window asking me if I really want to open the file.
Anyone know?

"I'm the only one who uses this computer so I naturally log in as
administrator. In order to not get the popup when I open it with PS, are you
saying I should turn OFF administrator settings for Photoshop.exe? Or should
I create a new user (for myself) without Administrator rights?"
Neither. If you create a new user without Administrator rights, you won't
get the popup, but you may not be able to access the file because of the
file permissions. The thing to do is find out what's denying you access to
the files and correct the problem.
To start, use Windows Explorer to locate one of the PSD files you get the
popup with. Right click on the file name and select "properties". The
properties dialog box will have a "security" tab. Select it. At the top,
there is a box labeled "Group or user names". That contains a list that
normally would contain 4 entries. "System", the creator of the file,
"Administrators", and "Users". You could have more or less entries than
that. Click on each entry in turn and the permissions for that group will
be shown in the permisions box at the bottom. Normally, the default is to
allow "Read & execute" for "Users" and full control for the owner, system
and administrators. Look for any that are marked "Deny". If the "Users"
group is missing and your id is not listed as the creator, that could also
be cause of the UAC prompt.
Do you see anything obvious? It's really unusually for this, I'd be curious
to hear what you found.
At the bottom of the security tab there is an Advanced button. Click it and
under the permission tab, it will show you where the file inherited its
properties. Permission are inherited, depending on what needs to be
changed, if you make the correction at the right level, you may be able to
correct the access problems with one change. Click the owner tab and you
can see or change the file owner. Some people just name themselves as owner.
There is quite a bit of information on how to assign and manage permissions
in the help file. Click on "managing permission entries" at the bottom to
access it. It's much to involved to go into detail here. Microsoft could
definitely have done a better job with the security documentation and the
user interface. Let's hope they do a better job with the next version of
Windows.
Turning off UAC is an easy out and you will not need to learn how to
establish permissions to stop the popup, but it will also allow a malware
process to make changes using your administrator rights without your
knowledge.
FYI, the first user defined after a clean install is assigned to the
administrator group by default. Subsequent users are not and are ordinary
users. If you are paranoid or just super careful you could create a second
ordinary user name for yourself as your normal account and reserve the
administrator id for maintenance and cleanup. I doubt many will do that.

Run As Admin - User Account Controls prompt

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem that the problem with User Profiles (where the user profile doesn’t reside in the default location C:\Users\XXX) has been resolved… took two days but I finally was able to down load and install Master Collection…
In Windows there is an Administer Icon on lower 1/3 of the Photoshop Icon, indicating that you need to “Run As Administrator” which wasn’t present in the Beta. And when application is launched “User Account Controls” does prompted you “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer”
On the - Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe I have changed the “Change Settings for All Users” to “Run this program as Administrator” but as with the Beta I still get the User Account Controls prompt each time I launce Photoshop!
It was a real problem with Lightroom 4… I was never able to create a smart object psd in Lightroom. And creating a psd file required that I create the PSD using Photoshop 5.5 and only after creating the 5.5 PSD could I open the file in Photoshop 6.
Is there some stem that I have missed or some other work around???

You could just turn off UAC? The rest sounds fishy and once for the millionth time boils down to permission/ user privilege issues - just because you run apps as admin, doesn't fix file permissions or group policies. Especialyl since you already mentioned having your user home directories in a non-standard location that could indicate that they are wrongfully inheriting security tokens from the drive's root, which on secondary drives of course would be different fro mthe system root and if they are on a network, that would complicate matters further. You realyl need to check those things and untangle them. and I wouldn't give a penny when something works differently in a Beta - that package may simply not have had a security certificate/ signature or used the one from CS5 so it was recognized as valid...

Java User Account Control Problem

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium edition on an Acer 64-Bit Netbook using Firefox 3.6.10 with Java script enabled. I am logged on as the Administrator.
I installed Java jre-6u22-windows-i586-s.exe and it works fine. However, I have discovered one quirk. When I access a Web page in Firefox that uses Java it works fine. However, if I click on a Java Web page link in an e-mail in Outlook 2010 it asks if I want to run Java. I click Yes or No and then Firefox opens the Web page. Likewise, if I attempt to print from a Web page that uses Java I get the UAC message each time. How can I eliminate this User Account Control request?

Even editing my control panel information on this forum causes the dreaded UAC request to run Java.

When I click on the icon to start firefox, the screen dims and I get this question in a dialogue box from User Account Control....."Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer"

Every time I start firefox

'''If you have Windows-7: Home Basic and Home Premium this works.'''
1. Create a new text file
2. Copy the text below into it.
<code>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000
</code>
3. Save as, e.g. DisableUACadmin.reg The reg extension is recognized by the registry editor.
4. Double-click your file and accept everything.Then do PART II below.
'''If you have Windows-7: Professional (Business), Enterprise and Ultimate Editions this works.'''
1. From the START MENU open the Control Panel and click on the Administrative Tools icon.
2. Double click on Local Security Policy to open it.
3. Browse down to Local Policies and then down to Security Options
4. In the list find: “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval
Mode” and double-click on it.
5. Using the dropdown window change the setting to “Elevate without prompting”.
6. Close out all your windows and do PART II below
'''PART II'''
For all versions of Windows-7, now you can right-click the FireFox icon and select properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select "Run this program as an Administrator".
No more UAC for Firefox.
