Playing video in iTunes on laptop running Windows Vista

I recently changed my computer. I now have an HP Pavilion running windows Vista (use to have XP). I have a video iPod -30GB. I downloaded iTunes onto the new equipment without incident, but that is the last thing that went smoothly.
I can no longer watch TV shows or movies from iTunes. The video plays like a slide show of stills (the audio is real-time however). Eventually I will get an error message from Windows and it closes the application.
I am also having issues with syncing my iPod and computer. I get a message requiring me to delete all of the content of the iPod and replace it with the contents of iTunes.I haven't done this -no trust and no backup
This message is from iTunes. I suspect it is a security feature to prevent downloading to more than one iPod, as iTunes doesn't seem to 'know' my iPod anymore. Syncing has also caused iTunes to close and my computer to reboot. Has anyone else had these problems?
Any suggestions ... short of throwing the Windows computer out of a window?

    Hello HungryHoover,
    It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

  • Help installing itunes on laptop with Windows Vista.

    I have a laptop with Windows Vista.  I've tried to download iTunes but I keep getting a message that says "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program required for his install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personel or package vendor."  I read a thread that suggested removing all Apple components then restarting.  I was unable to remove Apple Software Update.  All other components were removed fine.  Someone please help.  Thanks.

  • Why wont itunes download on my laptop running windows vista, keep getting error message 127, help

    Why wont itunes download on my laptop running on windows vista, keep getting Windows error127, can anyone help please this is driving me insane, tried 9 times already without
    success.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • I cannot select "selected folders" in itunes for my home sharing for apple tv....running windows 7...my laptop running windows vista works great....thoughts....?

    please read my title.......

    its good that you jsut got it, apple products have a 90 complimentary support window for initial setup issues and things like that for new products and software that you buy from them.
    i would recommend calling them at 1 800 275 2273 or 1 800 APL CARE with teh serial number for teh AppleTV for support to get that working correctly.
    It is possible that the router may be to blame here ( im not dumpign all the blame on it, just offering a suggestion) you may wanna unplug everything from the router, wait a couple minutes and then try again. if that doesnt resolve the issue its possible you may need to hard reset your router and setup your network again.
    I had a similar issue with connecting multiple ipads, PCs, and macs to a Netear router and some would connect for a while then lose access after a few minutes. i upgraded to an airport extreme and that cleared up all my connectivity issues.

  • Help with installing Itunes on laptop with Windows Vista

    I have been trying for the last hour to install Itunes on my laptop. Everytime I click on the download button a pop up come up on my conputer saying Internet Explorer has closed and says something about changeing setting in the data execution prevention in the advanced settings of the sytem properties. Can anyone help me. It runs a 32 bit operating system.

    Hi...
    Um, I wouldn't have a clue if it's a USB1 or 2. I may be computer literate... but the technicalities go whoosing over my head. How can I tell?
    Yes, I do think I have probs with my iPod (sure didn't take 3 hours to charge before the folder with the ! with the support link comes up on the screen. But there is the problem that I can't download iTunes from the site without getting a *corrupt installation files. Find a fresh copy and download again.* Lost count of how many times I've done that. I even downloaded the standalone quicktime first.
    Gah! I'm soooo frustrated.
    Will try the iPod updater this morning and hope I successfully choose the 5th Gen iPod.
    thanks heaps

  • Hello! I have an HP laptop running Windows Vista and Firefox 3.6.23. I am unable to iinstall then new version 7.0.1.exe excute file for the update. Thank you, Emil Ponso

    I also run Norton Internet Security, but have never had a problem updating Firefox w/ Norton running..I've tried installing the new version 7..0.1 3 times to no avail.
    edit: removed phone number even though spambots may already have it.

    What happens when you try and install? Any error messages? Have you tried right clicking on the installer and choosing 'Run as Administrator'?

  • I have Firefox 7.0.1 install on my laptop running Windows Vista. When visiting some website, the program automatically default to a mobile version of the website rather than the full website. How can I stop this from happening?

    No additional information is available

    Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
    * ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
    * See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
    I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
    The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
    IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

    So, when you are in the window that provides the Equivalent Network Password, you are saying that your WPA Password and the WPA Pre-Shared Key values are the same? That is, you are already using a 64-hex character password? (see image below)

    My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open.  I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection.  It worked fine before but now won't open.  I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

    try this...
    This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
    I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
    I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
    I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.
