Problem launching iTunes 10.0... on Vista 64 bit machine

I have been trying for 2 days to launch Itunes 10; have totally uninstalled all components in the order suggested, i.e itunes, quicktime, applesoftware update, applemobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.I checked all folders to make sure they were really gone.
I have disabled all anti-spy software and turned off security firewall when I reinstalled iTunes again; I also created a new user account on my system and tried to launch itunes from it; still did not work.
I was able to install and launch iTunes 10 on another system I have (Dell with XP) and it will work there, but that doesn't help because my music library is on the Acer (and of course my Ipod). Help ! I'm very frustrated

no problem!
I think we might be able to make some further progress with this one if you're still game, joan.
'iTunes has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of windows. turn off compatibility mode before opening itunes'
Quit iTunes again. Now track down the compatibility mode tab for your iTunes, as per:
[iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1489]
... but when you get to step 8, deselect any checkbox that is currently selected. (Not just the compatibility mode checkbox.)
Try opening iTunes again ... does it launch without the compatibility mode error this time?

Contact your support personnel or package vendor" came up and ruined the installation and as of now, I am unable to open my Itunes and sync stuff in. This is urgent as I have a ton of stuff inside and now i cant use itunes ! please help !

  • Itunes not playing music, Vista 64-bit

    Hello Everyone,
    The other day I was messing around with windows and managed to screw it all up; I completely reinstalled windows and then installed Itunes and imported all my music. When I tried to play my music it just doesn't play; the diamond at the top doesn't move, it just stays completely still. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thank you!

    I as well have been having this problem. I am running Windows Vista 32-bit though. I will try to play music and it never begins the song. If anyone has any solutions, please help me out.

  • CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES 9 ON WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT OS

    Hey guys!
    I'm having a reaaaallly hard time installing iTunes on my Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows me this message:
    What does it mean?? Can someone PLEASE help me, I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

    Curses ... you did everything right by providing the screenshot, thanks. But we really need to see the error message number that shows up after the "HRESULT" bit for one of those, and it's deciding not show us that.
    Okay ... people who get these error messages for iTunes installs typically are also getting Windows updates failures too. So we'll try to work out what the iTunes/Updates issue is by checking your Update history.
    Go into your Windows Update and click "Update History". Have updates been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on each failure to bring up a small window showing some info about the failure.
    What error message codes are you getting for the Windows Updates failures? (For example, 0x8007000B, or something else?)

  • Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems

    Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems? I have over 400 GB,s  free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems.  I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256  GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance.

    Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop.   You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
    Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor.  If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade  What is your system out of interest?  I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough.  Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

    My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
    When she went running with it, there were no songs on it.  She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. What could it be?
    2. How can I fix it?

  • Lt R 5 software disc for Win Vista 64 bit machine

    I am currently using Lt Rm 5 Beta on my Win Vista 64 bit machine and want to upgrade to the latest release of Lt Rm 5. The disc sellers that I have looked at all say that the platform must be Win 7 or 8. Adobe told me that Lt Rm 5 would run on Win Vista 64. What am I missing.
    David

    I'm surprised that Adobe would tell you that, because their own web site does not list Vista as a supported operating system for Lightroom 5

  • Problems Installing iTunes 10 with Windows Vista

    I am running Windows Vista (32 bit) and have installed iTunes 10. Any time I try to launch iTunes I receive the following message: "iTunes needs to be repaired to work with Vista. Use the 'Programs and Features' control panel to repair iTunes."
    The bigger problem is when I open the Programs and Features control panel, iTunes is not listed as a program. All of the other iTunes components are listed(Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour). However, I can see iTunes (version 10) in the C:>Programs Files>iTunes folder, just not in the control panel.
    I was going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall as numerous posts have suggested, however, since the program does not appear in the control panel, I have not been able to uninstall it.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Try using b noir's directions from this thread to get rid of itunes

  • Problem launching itunes after upgrade to version 7.

    launching itunes in another newly created 'administrator' ser name does work. how can i get it to launch with my normal username ? i tried deleting the apple folder in local settings, and application data under my normal username or copy the folder from the new 'administrator' into my normal username, but to no avail yet....
    Any help ?

    Hi Jason,
    I went through the whole msconfig menu and tried to launch itunes but no luck.
    Also deleting the file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info did not work. After I restarted and launched itunes, box came up stating it was installing itunes, but then it disappeared again. It is still trying to launch and I can see it appearing for one second in the Task Manager if I try to open itunes, but then it disappears and all goes quiet.
    I have a Trend Micro Office Scan system operating on my lap top. But then again the 'administrator' user account uses the same settings and can launch itunes....
    so the multimilliondollar question is how can I launch itunes within my own user account... Version 6 ran perfectly....

  • ITunes Not Responding with Vista 64-bit Running on Dell Studio 15

    Hi!
    I am running Vista 64-bit SP2 and downloaded the newest 64-bit version of iTunes. My music is located on an external network drive. Every time I open iTunes it starts to load the music and then just sits there and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.
    I had the same setup only using XP on my old laptop and iTunes ran fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing a problem? I started with a brand new laptop with Vista SP1 and had the same error. So I just upgraded to Vista SP2 thinking that might help but it had no effect.
    Thank you for any suggestions, I don't know what else to try...

  • ITunes 10 for Windows Vista 64 bit

    iTunes 10 installed fine on my XP computer. On my Vista 64 bit computer, iTunes 10 won't connect me to the store--a real bummer since I'm trying to activate 2 new iPads and sync them to my i/tunes library. It seems that this is a major problem from several posts I see with today's date on them. When will Apple fix this bug?

    ok without doing anything the streaming on the test page is suddenly coming up with a different page and the test streaming is working fine but still no streaming  for the other place I always stream from...
