Problems with iTunes and Windows Vista

I just got a new dell computer that came with Windows Vista. I'm new to Vista, and just downloaded iTunes. I was able to add my music and it will play, but I can't edit track information. I downloaded iTunes from the administrator account, so I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. Please help!!

For windows vista, like someone suggested, it may change your permission for editing a file and appear grey screen. As such, the following step might solve this problem.
Go to "Computer", go to your portable hard drive, right click and go to "Properties". Select "Security" Under the "group and user names" choose your user name. To change the permission, choose "Edit" Under permission column, choose "Full Control". After this you may able to edit song information in your itunes.

  • Burning cds with itunes and Windows Vista

    It seems like my problems with itunes are never ending on my HP laptop with Windows Vista. Originally, itunes screwed up my disc drive, but then I downloaded the 64 bit version of it and that turned out ok. However, whenever I started itunes it says it wasn't downloaded properly and I won't be able to import or burn cds. I've downloaded it before multiple times to see if that message would go away when I started it up, but it didn't. That was fine for a while because I never burn cds but today I wanted to and it wouldn't work. It would say Disc Recording not found. So, I thought I should upgrade to the new itunes 8.1 but I was afraid to because it might screw up the disc drive again. And of course, it did. I even downloaded the 64 bit version. So I guess my question is, how can I install the 64 bit version without that error message and be able to burn cds?

    paul's onto it.
    if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
    here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Network problems with TC and windows vista

    When I try to transfer data from my laptop using Windows vista to the TC, I get an network error message after a few seconds saying the computer is not connected to the network. I have no problems transferring small files (that take less than a few seconds to transfer) and the external router, my laptop and the TC are located close to each other. I tried almost everything but i don't know what the problem is.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Bastiaandp. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    There is quite a bit of dialogue going around the Internet about Windows Vista & Windows 7 when it comes to file sharing with either the Apple AirPorts or Time Capsules. Most of this dialogue seems to be revolving around the version of SMB used by the newer Microsoft OSs and that used by these routers for files sharing.
    A number of suggested solutions have been proposed, but none at this time, have provided a "permanent" solution. I too have experienced this same issue and have tried a number of these solutions. What finally worked for me was to make sure that: 1) The Workgroup name used on my Win 7 computer exactly matched the Workgroup name setting on the Disks > File Sharing tab within the AirPort Utility for my base station, & 2) That this name did NOT include any spaces. In my case, I used WORKGROUP for both settings.
    Since doing so over six months ago, I have had no problems copying/moving files between my PC and the AirPort, regardless of their size.

    That's part of your Windows operating system, relating to the MCI driver for cdaudio devices.
    Perhaps try running an sfc /scannow as per:
    [How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
    Does sfc repair any files? If so, does your iTunes start launching properly again afterwards?

  • Having problems with iTunes and windows 8

    I recently bought a new windows 8 laptop and at fiirst my music library was in the cloud through itunes match.  Music played through the speakers, and through the headphone jack.  But it seems that when I used iTunes match to download the library to my new laptop I have not been able to play anything on iTunes, the time indicator moves and shows playback but no sound. Help.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forum.

  • Trouble with iTunes and Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I have a new Win Vista system and need to move over all my old music to existing IPOD. I installed the latest version of itunes, and the Windoes patch (can't recall the number). I been able to successfully install itunes and port over my music. However when I attach the iPod and sync it I get the following errors: Attempting to copy to disk "name of iPod" failed. an unknown error occured (-124), and then "The iPod "name of Ipod" can't be synced. The required file cant be found, and "the iPod "name of iPod" can't be synched. The required folder can't be found.
    The odd thing is that it appeard as if it was synching up songs accorning to the status bar across the top.
    Any help please....
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi,
    got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
    Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

  • Problems with Itunes and Windows 7 x64

    When I upgraded to Windows 7, Itunes no longer recognized my computer as one of the authorized ones from someone else's Itunes. The worst part is when I authorized my computer for the other person's Itunes last time, I was the 5th person to do so. Now I'm stuck because I can't just reauthorize my computer because it says it reached its max number, even though I'm not authorizing a new computer. Can someone give me an idea of what to do?

    Is that ASUS rather than ISUS?
    If so, I think I've found info on the motherboard ... if so it doesn't have the P55 or P55M chipsets that can be cranky on Windows 7 systems with iPod/iPda/iPhone connections.
    Still, we'd better make sure your BIOS and chipset drivers for the board are up to date. Head to the following page at ASUSTek and use the Navigation Wizard to autodetect your motherboard version. Check to see if there are any BIOS updates, chipset driver updates or other driver updates available for it (say, integrated audio, display adaptors, raid controllers, etc):

    If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that improve your syncing performance?

  • Problems, with Itunes and windows 7 loading content onto ipod shuffle

    My system is running windows7 64 bit and I have downloaded the 64 bit Itunes, I am trying to load a new playlist onto a ipod shuffle 2 gig. When I connect to itunes it makes me restore the ipod settings and then when this is complete, itunes will only load a few songs at a time and if I try to load more that ten song Itunes just stops responding. I took the shuffle into an Apple store today and they tell me that it OK so must be my system. Can anyone help please.

  • HELP!!! problems with itunes and windows media

    I just got an ipod nano 3rd gen and am trying to download music onto it. I know that you have to download itunes, but i have no idea how. The instruction manual said that a set up window should pop up the first time i plug my ipod into the computer, which did not happen. also, i have lots of music on windows media that i got off CDs and from other sites. is there any way to transfer this music onto my ipod? the computer itself recognizes the ipod but windows media does not.

    There was a mix of different WMA bit rates all ripped from CDs using WinAmp. I ripped each song at two different qualities and used jazz, rock, rap, and symphonic. After the conversion the songs were loaded onto the students' iPods having no knowledge which version was which. Each student got two versions of each of the files. Some got a converted and a AAC ripped from the CD. Some got two converted songs of different qualities. They were required to play the songs using their earbuds and at home on their computer. When the student had both a ripped version and a converted version s/he identified the ripped version as the better one almost 70% of the time. When they had two converted versions they identified the higher quality as the better one at about the same rate.
    Interestingly, but not unexpected, using just Apple's stock earbuds we were much less successful at identifying the converted tracks. And, I might add, those of us who were best at identifying the unconverted files were also those who were not satisfied with Apple's buds.

    Music Stops in itunes

    I am experiencing the exact thing with the iPhone 3G, Win XP and Outlook 2003. Spent 6 hours uninstalling and reinstalling everything and 2 hours at the Apple store. It's amazing that none of the Apple "Geniuses" had heard of this ever. They said "sorry" and asked if I wanted to return it. They blamed Microsoft, though the OutlookSyncClient dll I am getting an error from is actually Apple's. This is ridiculous.
    Everything synchs fine except for calendar.
    They said I should look for a corrupt calendar entry. I went to the length of backing up my calendar, deleting all of my entries and synching some of them. That worked ONE WAY and only in disconnected mode in Outlook. I cannot synch changes back from the iPhone to Outlook. I added back a few calendar entries from my backup and it errored out again with "outlooksyncclient has experienced an issue and needs to close"
    Any ideas are appreciated or I am returning this TOY to Apple. This is not a business phone if it can't synch calendars flawlessly.

  • With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library.  What should I be doing differently?

    With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library.  What else should I be doing?
