Slllllooooooooowwwww iTunes boot-up under Vista Home Basic

I've just installed iTunes on a laptop running Vista Home Basic. The computer is less than a year old and has generally fast performance. But iTunes takes about 15 minutes to run after its icon has been clicked. At the moment, here about 10 minutes after clicking the iTunes icon, Windows' Task Manager shows "iTunesHelper Module," "iTunes.exe," and "iPodService.exe" running as "Processes", but there is no Application showing, and of course, no functionality yet. Sometime in the next 5 or 10 minutes, iTunes will finally show up on the screen and become functional. Ideas? Thanks.

You could try uninstalling and re-installing iTunes.
This article will walk you through removing iTunes and its components: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
Be sure to remove all four components, not just iTunes. Good luck!

  • Boot camp and Vista home basic

    everything seems to be working well with BC and Vista. Vista has this tool that automatically checks for problems, and then tries to find solutions, this is all done in the background. When I check to see if I had any problems, well I do. It states that there are missing Apple drivers and these drivers can be found on the apple website or by using Apple software update. Well Software update says all is up to date, and that goes for Apple and Vista. Is there anyone else experiencing this with Vista Home Basic?
    Thanks.

    you may need to re insert leopard and re download the drivers. There is also an option to "fix" the drivers when doing this. That's what I had to do.

  • Want VGA drivers for Satellite A100-033 under Vista Home Basic

    I have a Satellite A100-033 which runs Windows Vista Home Basic. The main video driver is an Intel 945 chipset. However, I want to install an ordinary VGA driver. This is because I have some software which needs full screen mode. The Intel chipset won't allow this, but the VGA video driver does. Until now I have been able to access the VGA driver on my laptop, via personalise/ displaysettings/ monitor/, which would let me select a VGA driver from a list of device drivers which was presented to me. However, this option has been removed from the list of options. How can I find the VGA driver on my laptop, and/or download another one?

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused. I dont know exactly what you want to do but the graphic card driver can be updated and install via device manager.
    Access simply the device manager, select the graphic card and install or update the graphic driver.
    Some graphic drivers cannot be installed automatically. In such case you should install it manually.
    That means you should assign the graphic card driver source manually.

  • Duplicate files appearing in Windows Photo Gallery under Vista Home Basic.

    I am suffering a bout of duplications in my Windows Photo Gallery under Vista. I am getting duplicates, triplicates and quadruple versions of the original file.
    Despite turning off all Autoplay media types to 'No Action', I get random duplicates when I try to enter update pictures from camera or memory chip through a USB port. There is no 'Enter Updates Only' option, and Microsoft says that this is unnecessary as
    duplication is prevented. The duplicates however appear with 'copy' in the file name after the image numbering system. My preference is to view the memory contents via 'Computer' - select and open the port, and view, then copy and paste into Photo
    Gallery.  Photo Gallery kicks in to view the chip correctly, but often/always (?) promptly uploads uncommanded. It did not used to do this, only in the last year or two.
    What do I do, it is driving me crazy ?  

    Hi,
    As I know, for Duplicate issue, it might be caused by a corrupted database, please try to rebuild it as a test.
    Close Windows Photo Gallery
    First show hidden files.Navigate to C:\Users\Usename\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo GalleryRename “Pictures.pd” to “Pictures.pd.old” (without quotes) and reopen Windows Photo Gallery.

  • Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

    I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
    I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
    I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
    It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
    I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

    Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
    You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
    When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
    RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
    I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
    Suggestions...instructions?
    Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

  • Windows Vista Home basic drivers for internet

    How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

    Hi,
    for the obvious:
    After the Vista installation, did you install the Apple drivers from the OSX Leopard Installation DVD ?
    If not, boot into Vista and insert the OSX Installation DVD that came with your iMac.
    The Driver Setup usually starts automatically.
    All drivers needed are on that DVD.
    regards

  • It just makes me so mad while using windows vista home basic in bootcamp.

    there are sooo many problems while running in windows vista home basic..
    First..
    the computer gets really **** hot after several minutes and the fans just never kick in at all...
    second..
    the system is soo unstable, is it because of the high temperature?
    what all of these about??
    is there any problem with my drivers or anything?
    i thought apple says that windows will work perfectly in bootcamp..
    i'm sooo disappointed. and i really need it to work well most of the times
    but what is going on ? please..
    i have the 2.5ghz MBP..
    but it's like a 0.5 ghz while running windows.. sooo unstable and there are soo many problems!
    also it shuts down by itself .. the blue screen says physical memory n stuff...?
    it that my problem or the computer ?
    did i do anything wrong?
    someone please help.
    i don't want my mbp runs like a tiger or something only under MAC OS x. and like a weak sick cat loses all its power while running windows?
    if I have done any thing wrong .. please somebody tell me and i'm gonna fix it.
    but if everybody has the same issue .. i think i will be just sooo mad of buying this computer..

    Essentially all you have done here is create a list of complaints without really providing a lot of information about your problems. Maybe if you gave us some specifics we could help. And to answer one of your questions: yes, you can have windows running absolutely fine in BootCamp. My Vista copy works fine without an problems and it is quite fast. I've actually never had a Blue Screen with it. It is true that macs as a rule use fewer system resources and so will probably be faster for some basic tasks, but it shouldn't be too a point where you notice much of a difference.
    Now for that memory problem you described. How much RAM does your computer have. Vista uses a lot of RAM and if you run a lot of applications at once in Vista, you might be overloading your RAM.

  • Linksys E2000 on Vista Home Basic Edition

    Hello,
    I have just installed Linksys new E2000 on my laptop with Vista Home Basic edition. Somehow after a day of using it I am caught up with strange problem. Few minutes after booting my screen goes blank and I am no longer able to work. I do not see any icons or not able to invoke Task Manager to see running processes.
    I am not sure if these two are related or what has caused this problem. Any tips will be great help.
    Thank You

    Well since your router is independent of the anything, you need to look at your computer.

  • Compatibility with Windows Vista Home Basic?

    Does Fireworks work with Windows Vista Home Basic? Will it
    run on my OS?

    I have Vista Home Premium and Fireworks CS3 works fine with
    one exception. The bitmap editing tools are not compatible with
    Aero. Copying an answer I wrote two days ago...
    You can do one of two things. Turn off Aero completely or
    have Vista disable Aero only when Fireworks is running.
    For the latter,
    1) go to where Fireworks is installed, usually
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS3
    2) Right-click on Fireworks.exe and select Properties
    3) Select the the Compatibility tab
    4) Under Compatability mode label, select the checkbox for
    Run this program in compatability mode for: and select Windows XP
    (Service Pack 2) from the drop down box.
    5) Under the Settings label, check Disable desktop
    composition
    6) Click OK.
    Now, when you start up Fireworks, your system will flicker as
    Aero is disabled, but your bitmap tools will work. When you close
    Fireworks, your system will flicker as Aero returns.
    See also, discussion
    in
    this thread
    The post on 09/13/2008 by lallsopp claims that desktop
    composition does not need to be disabled, but I find that my bitmap
    tools do not work properly unless I do. You can try it both ways
    and see what works for you.

  • Op to a canon mf4100 that is by cable to a dell pc which uses vista home basics

    I am trying to print from a apple macbook pro laptop to a canon mf4100 that is connected by cable to a del pc which uses vista home basics
    Both pc are connected to a wireless modem for my internet connection

    I found the solution here --->>>: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTa bAct&fcategoryid=257&modelid=10439
    I used the "Add Hardware" option under the control panel. I did not use the "add printer" option under printers
    About half way down, you will see some graphics on using ports. This was the critical information to make things work.
    For some reason, the printer ink status report will not work on the VISTA computer. It may have to do with VISTA security, but that will have to wait. The important point it now prints now!

  • Drivers forWindows Vista home basic

    How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

    Dupont:
    The drivers are on Leopard Installation Disk.
    1. Boot into Windows
    2. Insert your *Leopard Installation Disk* into the CD/DVD drive
    3. This should automatically begin the installation of the boot camp drivers.
    4. When drivers installation is completed then reboot
    The above should have all the Windows hardware drivers installed.
