Problems updating iPhone to 3.0 on Windows Vista

Alright so I decided to attempt to install the 3.0 software onto my iPhone 3G.
I walked away from my computer and came back to "Could not install due to unknown error."
After this my iPhone went into recovery mode and is no longer recognized by iTunes at all. I've tried putting it into DFU mode and connecting it to my computer but still no dice. I even connected it to a computer running XP under both recovery and DFU mode and still iTunes will not recognize my phone.
I've run out of things to try and this is EXTREMELY frustrating, anyone out there come up with a fix for this?

I had mega problems too. Try following my posting as below after creating a new user account on your computer. See my posting on 20/06/2009 22:33 titled "Upgrade Error number 4 and Restore Error 1603 when going to OS 3.0 - Solved"
And turn off any antivirus and firewall software too, before doing so. And also click the Restore Button on the ITunes Summary page which seems to force the iphone into an update. Dont try using the Check for update button. Good Luck, Tony

Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

Hi
After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
All other features seem to work... only opening the iTunes store is failing..
I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
Please help

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Having problems updating iphone software to version 5.0

I currently have version 4.3.1 and finally decided to update iphone software to version 5.0. It goes through the 6 minute process, but then I get the error message: "There was a probem downloading the software for the IPhone -----. The network connection ttimed out. Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active or try again later."
I've tried several times and keep getting the same message. My network connection is active and I've just the firewall and made sure it allows itunes updates.
Please help! Any other suggestions? When answering please be very specific - I'm really clueless with the computer.
Thanks in advance!

try this,
Plug in, click update software, and click download ONLY.
Let the ipsw file download complete,... then click update.
This way is much better. If you keep having error message, its either your internet connection is inconsistent or Apple's server is inconsistent... usually more likely the former.

Problem when connecting my iPhone to a PC with Windows Vista OS

I use a Windows Vista OS. When connecting my iPhone, in the Devices section, it shows with an exclamation mark ("!"). Further information establishes the driver cannot be loaded. Anyway, I can use it for tethering but cannot access, for instance, to the pictures.
This has only recently starting to happen. Before, everything worked fine.
I would be most grateful for any help I can ge
Kind regards.

Problems with iTunes and iPod running under 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
The delete 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?

you may want to take a look at the iPod 101 tutorials. Those might help.

Problems signing into itunes store account from windows vista

I have recently downloaded the latest version of itunes for a new computer running Windows Vista. I already have an apple ID account to use with the store and have been able to access this on other computers, but every time I try to sign in on the new computer it has an error message that the "network connection has timed out". I have searched for help for this, which appears to be a common issue, and all the recommended solutions like checking firewall settings have not helped as I am still unable to sign in. My internet connection is fine, and I am able to access the store itself, just not my account.
If anyone could help with this problem I would be very grateful.

Excellent. If you ever want to uninstall that trial Norton, keep in mind that you need a special removal tool from Symantec. Simply uninstalling it via Add/Remove Programs does NOT delete it from your PC. It really is horrible software.

03-2014:Synchronize iphone with OUTLOOK 2007 on Windows VISTA 2007

March 2014
Hi, folks,
Since the installation of iTunes 11.0.2.26, I experienced problems when starting OUTLOOK.
These problems mentioned something related to MobileMe.
I tried to repair MobileMe, without succes and then decided to unistall it.
Unfortunately, now it doesn't work anymore.
I see 2 solutions:
1) Download a new version of MobileMe, but I can't find any, as Aplle decided to unsupport it. Does anyone know where I can download a recent version ?
2) Install iCLOUD and sync between iCLOUD and OUTLOOK. However, Apple doesn't support iCLOUD on Windows VISTA 2007.
Can anyone help by providing this version of MOBILEME or with another valid solution.
Many thanks in advance,
Marco

Actually, they do. Use this version of the iCloud control panel for Windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687.

Problems with OPMN process (very unstable) on Windows Vista

I am running SOA on Windows Vista(V10.1.3.1). I am having the following problems with the OPMN process
 
1) Shuts down when idle
 
2) After crashing I try to restart SOA Suite using the command line>opmnctl startall
 
I get the error message..."Unable to Open Service with error Access is denied."
 
If I use the command line>opmnctl start
 I get the error message but OPMN process starts????

Anyone else having these sort of issues and have come across a fix?

I'm also having the same problem (on XP) on 10.1.3.4 I'm guessing this is a security issue but can anyone tell me how this can be resolved.
It appears to work fine as Admin but regular users without Admin rights have the above issue.

Problems with HP Pavilion dv600 audio with Windows Vista

Good evening my name is Jose Heriberto and I have a problem with my computer.
I have a Computer HP Pavilion dv6000 to purchase about 2 years ago and have kept the operating system Windows Vista, my problem is that two weeks ago the audio stopped working and do not know how to fix it and look for solutions online but does not solve anything.

Hello Heriberto_Bta,
I see that you are having problems with the sound on your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps for no sound issues on Windows Vista. Follow the steps in the link and let me know what happens.
Can you also provide the full model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.

Problems authorizing my iTunes since I added Windows Vista...

Does anyone else install Windows Vista and have a problem authorizing their account? Like, mine says that it's authorized and when I go to play the song, it's automatically, unauthorized again. No me gusta. This is really, making me mad.

JeffreyTravis:
Let's see if we can find out what the problem is. Try this:
1. Choose Control Panel from the Start Menu.
2. Open Folder Options.
3. From the View tab, turn on this option:
Show hidden files and folders
and turn off this option:
Hide protected operating system files.
4. Click OK.
5. Navigate to Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Users > All Users > Apple Computer > iTunes
6. There should be a folder there named SC Info.
7. Right-click on that folder and choose Properties.
8. Click the Security tab
9. Select Everyone from the Group or user names list.
10. Use Print Screen to take a screen shot and save it as a Paint document on your desktop.
11. Repeat step 10 for SYSTEM and Administrators from the Group or user names list.
12. Email me those three screen shots.
