Playing shows on itunes with vista

We bought out little girl a cheap Acer laptop for playing games and listening to her music. The problem I have is that the t.v. shows that we get off of iTunes won't play right. When you play a show the sound most of the time plays fine but the picture keeps stopping. The iTunes on the Acer is set to play stuff we download from my wife's iMac and my MacBook Pro. The shows will play on both of our computers fine so I don't thing the files are corrupted. I've reinstalled iTunes on the Acer and it didn't make a difference. We even downloaded one straight to the Acer and it still does the same thing. The Acer is running Vista Basic. Any help to fix this problem would be appreciated. Thanks

To do wifi sync, you have to connect, wired, open iTunes and the main info panel for your iPad. THen enable wifi syncing. Sync wired, unplug and then you should be able to wifi sync.
Some tricks/glitches. Sometimes you'll need to wake up the iPad to get it to sync. I've also had to turn off the 'open iTunes when iPad is detected' after my iPad spent all night opening iTUnes every time it tried to 'reach out' and find my computer. it is also significantly slower to sync over wifi than wired, so bear that in mind.

DESPERATE! IPOD NOT SHOWING IN ITUNES WITH WINDOWS VISTA.

I recently bought a new Dell Dimension E520 which came with windows vista pre installed. I seem to be one of many people having problems with it!
Newest version of Itunes (7.1) is installed and working fine. When I plug my IPOD nano in however nothing happens. It is visible in the device manager on my PC but doesn't show in itunes.
I've been to the apple store and they said that the new itunes should fix the problem but it hasn't. they've checked my nano and it is fully up to date.
I know it is a driver problem but i have absolutely no idea what i'm looking for when i go to the support section on this website!
the reason I bought a new PC was that my old computer wouldn't download the new itunes and therefore i couldn't access the store or any songs bought from the store on my nano (plus it was 14 years old). it did however actually recognise my IPOD!
It's been nearly 6 months since i've been able to update my ipod with songs and i'm getting desperate!!!! please can anyone help??

iTunes does not yet support Windows Vista. There are numerous problems running iTunes on it. The latest release of iTuens 7.1 fixed some of them but not all.

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

Ipod not recognized by itunes with vista!!

I (amid all of my other troubles with vista) have updated to itunes 7.2 but am not able to get itunes to recognize my 30 GB video ipod. I perused the other discussions and noticed others have had the same problem but never came across an answer.
thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

ITunes with Vista

I have Windows Vista ultimate installed on a PC.
When I connect my iPod Video windows warns that this device needs to be scanned. I have refused to allow it to do so. iTunes will sometimes recognize the iPod is connected, sometimes not, sometimes it will freeze.
Same Hardware with XP Pro installed never had a single issue in the 6 months I've owned the iPod.
thanks,

I also have undocumented issues with iTunes 7.1.1 and my 80GB 5th gen iPod. I waited patiently for 7.1.1 (it would not work at all with previous version of iTunes and Vista) and even when I installed 7.1.1 it would not recognise the iPod was connected, or if it did it would crash and blue screen Windows.
What I fond worked was to restore the iPod back to factory settings (make sure you have a good back up of your music, either in iTunes on your PC or better still on both your PC and a extra backup. This will effectively completely wipe your iPod. I then found conecting it back to iTunes that it recognised it quickly and synced the music quickly, i.e. it worked as expected.
However, trying to sync the Vista My Pictures folder with my iPod is impossible. I have about 5,000 pictures and it takes about 1-2 minutes per picture to optimise the pictures before syncing. As you can imagine, I have not let this function complete, an in mot cases it still crashes my PC. Something is no working still,maybe related to the recognised USB support issue for iTunes that Microsoft is still working on.
Does anyon have any ideas?

Issues using/uninstall/installing itunes with vista

I recently purchaed a computer with vista. Everything was fine with my computer and itunes for a while and then all of a sudden I received a message (through my desktop) that an iTunes file was currupt. Now when I try and open iTunes I get the following message:
Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ITDetector.ocx Verify that you have access to that directory.
iTunes won't open after this.
I have tried to uninstall iTunes (which it will not do) and I recieve this message:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a program with this package. Error code is 2330.
When I try and install iTunes 7.2 I get the following message as well and the installation stops:
Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. THe GEARAspiWDM service use bythe GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted duringthe next system reboot. please reboot the system and run iTunes again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can either repair iTunes or uninstall and then reinstall a working version? I appreciate the help,it has been a little frustrating.

Just doublechecking something. Were you installing the version 7.3.0.54 that came out just yesterday, or an earlier version?
If it was an earlier version, perhaps try a 7.3.0.54 install to see if that goes through any better. Here's a link through to that installer:

Add Current Playing track to Itunes With Verification

Okay I am trying to create an applescript that adds the current playing track in itunes to a playlist. However I want it to be able to check if the track is already in the playlist. So far I have this in which I got online:
set myList to "iPod"
property okflag : false
tell application "Finder"
if (get name of every process) contains "iTunes" then ¬
set okflag to true
end tell
if okflag then
tell application "iTunes"
set currentList to playlist myList
add (get location of current track) to currentList
end tell
end if
Message was edited by: Ralphdp

What sort of check are you looking for? The first part of the script checks to see that the current track is not already present in the desired playlist. If not, the track is added to the playlist. Are you looking for some sort of confirmation that it has indeed arrived, or do you want some sort of rock solid method to be sure that the track gets added? I suppose that a repeat could be built that continues to run until the playlist shows that the track is indeed present, but it seems overkill to me.

Is there another way i can play shows from itunes w/o itunes or QT?.....

Hi, i'm using the latest version of quicktime for windows. I recently got my ipod stolen and i cannot watch my podcasts and tv shows anymore because when i try it in either itunes or QT(this has always been a problem by the way) it always keeps pausing or breaking up i guess. Sorta like when you watch youtube vids sometimes or other video online and it pauses for a second and starts up again. I get this with all my video content on IT or QT. Windows media player works great but those two don't for some reason. What i am trying to say is how can i fix this, or can i download something that will allow me to watch my stuff on windows media player. And yes, my computer is most likely to blame for this because it is kind of old and getting slow.

I've read that QT (and probably iTunes as well) play better if the media is run from non-boot drive (not just another partition on same drive).
How fast and full your disk drive and system, even amount of memory to help cache content, can make a difference.
I think VLC can play Quicktime.
You could try upgrading the hard drive, or even clean it out, and do a full backup and then erase + restore. Or put your media files on external drive.
And try to keep your drive to 1/3 free at least.

Issue playing videos in iTunes with Windows 7 x64

Hi, hoping someone can help.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and have installed the latest version of iTunes. I have around 150 HD movies stored on my PC, which were previously from an iMac I owned. Whenever I play one of these, the video keeps stuttering and dropping frames then freezing etc. Now, the issue is not with the files, as they play in WMP and VLC perfectly fine. It happens in exactly the same spot in the videos everytime they are played. My CPU reaches 100% then drops to 0% as the freezing is happening. It appears as though my CPU cannot handle the files, yet they play fine in another player.
I was wandering if anyone else is having this problem, it's incredibly frustrating because I love iTunes as a media manager.
Thanks.

Try reset winsock and see it will fix the issue.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(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:

ITunes with Vista and data execution prevention

Hi,
I just installed iTunes on a Vista machine. But the data execution prevention doesn't allow to start the iTunes.exe. I even can't add an exception in vista, it complains that it is not possible for iTunes.exe.
What the **** could be wrong here?
Thanks for answers

Thank you kindly.
From the Start menu, click Open.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now open your C:\Windows\System32\ directory. What files and/or folders can uour see in there with QuickTime in the filename or folder name?
(In a standard QuickTime installation on a 32-bit system you should see just two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Itunes with Vista, Data Execution Protection settings closes Itunes.

I star-up Itunes. It launches correctly. Once the Itunes window is open and my music librairy appears, Microsoft closes Itunes. The final message says its the Data Execution Protection settings that forced it to close. I try and change the settings by turning the DEP off for Itunes, but it says that it can't run without it and refuses to disable it for Itunes.
Called Apple, they say it's a Microsoft problem...
Called Microsoft, they say it's an incompatibility problem with Apple and pointed me here.
Any suggestions?

After seeing Bill-Taylor's response, I decided to try alexloise's suggestion to see if it would solve the relatively minor Vista/DEP on iTunes shutdown issue. The short answer seems to be "no," at least in my case. The Microsoft link that turingtest2 posted gave me a big headache, but did not show me how to disable AutoRun for the CD/DVD drive. (If I understand correctly, other types of AutoRun should already be disabled if all Important and Recommended Windows updates have been installed.) So I tried the registry edit suggested in this article: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2254345,00.asp. Only then did I see the iTunes notification mentioned by alexloise:
Unfortunately, I continue to see the familiar DEP notifications when exiting iTunes 11.4.

Itunes with vista losing dvd drive

Using Vista with sp1. Issue is that when I install Itune I lose my dvd drive. When I fix the dvd problem using this fix:
dbvd drive lost after itunes installation
solution
delete device
and open nofilters.reg in batch folder and say yes to merge
note
*********Copy BELOW this line into notepad*****
REGEDIT4
[HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
"UpperFilters"=-
"LowerFilters"=-
*********Copy ABOVE this line into notepad*****
Save to your desktop as "NoFilters.reg" without " "
Open the file, confirm you wish to integrate this file into your registry
and restart your computer.
At this point I have a dvd drive, but Itune gives me a warning the registry settings for burning cd's and dvd's are missing and that I should reinstall itune. I've been in this loop at least 3 times. So, is their a fix, or I can have a dvd drive or itune but not both? many thanks for any assistance. Manny

It's probably best to first check for a device filter conflict:
iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
But if you still get no DVD drive, *even when there's no filters in place but the iTunes ones,* then you're one of the unlucky ones.
At this stage, on some Vista PCs, the filters for the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing seem to be causing some conflicts. This article outlines your options:
Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
It's probably worth keeping an eye on that document, in the interests of seeing if any new information becomes available. (Preferably information about a proper fix.)

ITunes with Vista and fingerprint reader

Hi
I have a new iPhone and a PC running Windows Vista. Just after the installation of iTunes 8.0.2 when I try to login for authorization, iTunes freezes and the only way to close is Ctrl-Alt-Canc.
Furthermore (yes, it's another question..) it is impossible to import from a separate disk a song purchased in iTunes Store.
Any workaround?
Many thanks for any answer.
Franco

Definitely a Windows Vista issue unless it's iTunes specific ...
Try playing a song in another program in Windows and see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, it's unrelated to iTunes completely and is a Windows issue. If it doesn't repeat itself, try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.

Flash Player 10 is not playing audio from Youtube with Vista and IE

Since installing FP10, I cannot get audio when playing YouTube video. I'm running Vista with SP2 and IE on an HP laptop. Flash 0 on my XP desktop plays audio fine, so I'm guessing its a setting on my laptop which needs changing back to what it was before the upgrade to FP10...any ideas please? I have uninstalled and the reinstalled FP10 as per other posts on this forum, but no success.

I too am experiencing this
[edit]
My problem was that I was not getting flash audio at all, including local publishes out of the IDE. The problem was that my Windows Audio service had stopped (for some reason).
To check :
(classic view) :: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >
(non-classic) :: Computer (right click) > Manage > Services and Applications > services >
(one of the above, then) :: [scroll down to 'Windows Audio'] > r-click 'properties', general tab, set the start-up type to manual (in the dropdown), and click the start button on the next line.

AppleTV don't show in iTunes with internet sharing on

Dear all,
I have a problem with my new appletv. I'm sharing internet connection via ethernet on my iMac directly connected to a linksys access point. tv have a wireless connection to the linksys and the ethernet ip address of my iMac as a gateway. With internet sharing on my iTunes don't show tv and don't synchronize with it.
My current setup is iTunes 8.1 and tv 2.3.1 firmware. With previous firmware release all is ok.
Any suggestion? Is it possible to use internet sharing and iTunes sync at the same time?

Songs will only show up if they are in the library. Did you copy the music from your old iTunes library and load it on the new computer?
