... I'm not sure I've ever helped someone from the Canary Islands before ...
Fault Module Name: mcicda.dll
Fault Module Version: 6.0.6000.16386
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?

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.

Problem with itunes... Please help!

Hi all,
I have 100 songs in my itunes that successfully transferred to my ipod. Now when I go into itunes and double click on a song I want to hear in the library, it plays the song for about 3 seconds, then it skipps and scratches as if the cd is skipping.... but as its not a cd and is in itunes what could the problem be?? As a result of this happening, it states "problem encountered with itunes" and it sends an error report, when that's finished, itunes shuts down!!! This has only happened this evening.....
Any ideas what problem is??? No cd in drive, songs on ipod perfect.
Regards Yvonne

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer which you could adapt as you are sharing a computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. You could then syncronise your iPod to your own library Method two is to set your preferences so your iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Error code 2330 wen installing itunes to windows vista. please help

ok so i have tried everything from repairing to uninstalling manually and still itunes refuses to uninstall or install itself. can anyone help me?

Interesting.
Okay, let's try some general principles troubleshooting with this one, then.
(1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
(2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

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?

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

Problems installing iTunes on Windows Vista

I have searched these and other forums. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes NUMEROUS times. I have cleaned the registry, tried Windows Fix-it, tried to repair Apple Application Software. I have updated the Microsoft.Net Framwork. I continue to get the same error. The software says that it has loaded successfully, but when I try to open the software, I get the following message:
"The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll"
My only choice then is to click ok. When I do that, I get a second error message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error7 (Windows error #127).
Can someone please help me with the correct fix for these errors or some other ideas of how to get iTunes correctly installed on my computer. I have spent HOURS in the last week researching and re-installing and am at my wits end!

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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The error report suggests a similar problem to those outlined in the fist and third boxes and is probably the result of an outdated .dll file.

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:

Can't download latest iTunes on Windows 7, please help?

Hi,
I'm having trouble downloading the lastest version of iTunes from the apple website.
I clicked download iTunes etc and then got the itunessetup thingy, so I tried installing it but within seconds the wizard does to the end page and says:
'ITunes installer completed.
The installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.
Please run the installer again, or click finish to exit.'
I have tried installing it several times and keep getting the same issue. I also uninstalled everything I have from Apple on my laptop and tried installing iTunes again then with no luck.
It's really frustrating me now and i have no idea what to do. I've tried searching this issue but other people have posted about different problems to this one so I dont know how to fix it. Help please?
Thanks

new to Windows 8, please help me.
Coming from Windows 7? It is quite analogous, especially if you were a keyboard user. Ctrl-Esc (or press and release Win) shows you the equivalent of the Start Menu, which is now called the Start Screen. In W7 once you brought up the
Start Menu you may have been aware that you could either click on pinned items, click on pinned Taskbar buttons, click on Desktop shortcuts, OR... do some typing to bring something up from your installed applications. Well, in W8 we could do the first
and the last completely the same and now in W8.1.1 we can do all of those things. There are also new options which can keep you mostly oblivious of the Start Screen if you would prefer to do that.
But to answer your specific example, after you see the Start Screen (or All apps view of it) just start typing P O

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.

Problem with iTunes in Windows XP

I am having a problem loading iTunes in Windows XP service pack 2. Every time I click on it, it seems to load for a little while, and then a window pops up saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". When I clicked on the details tab, it showed me a bunch of stuff I couldn't understand. Here's what it said:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer:7.6.2.9
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00000000
How do I get iTunes to work right?

The first question, Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
These are know to cause troubel with Quicktime and must be uninstalled before proceding.
It is also a good idea to go to your Control Panel and try to launch QUicktime preferences - you need to be in classic view to see it.
Post any error message in full. This error message can give a clue to the presence of problem codecs if you are not sure.
Next do a removal of Quicktime with installer cleanup, followed by an install of the latest version.
I will give a method for complete removal, cleanup and reinstall of iTunes, Quicktime and related components, but in your case it may be possible to just do the QUicktime part. Don't forget to delete the recommended files from your system32 folder.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
