Upgrading to iTunes 9 on Windows Vista...PROBLEMS!

I recently upgraded to iTunes 9 on my computer, and it is Windows Vista. The computer and iTunes was perfectly fine before, but now iTunes doesn't come up when I open it and my iPod does not show up under "My Computer". I went to apple.com and reinstalled iTunes 9, hitting the "Repair" option when a choice came up, and iTunes popped up and it came up fine but I couldnt click on anything in the iTunes window because the computer became suddenly slow. After quitting out of the iTunes program using Task Manager, iTunes wouldnt come up again. I need help on what to do to have iTunes work again properly without losing the music already on my library. Thank you.

  • ITunes and Windows Vista problem

    I have Windows Vista and ran iTunes successfully for 8mos.  Now I'm getting a message box that says "iTunes has stopped working.  Close box and Windows will send a solution."  The solution, upgrading Windows, doesn't work.  Is Vista the problem?

    Scan and Fix windows System files:
    Can you go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair or update files.
    Start iTunes again

  • Problems downloading iTunes to Windows Vista

    Has anyone had problems downloading iTunes to Windows Vista. If you have what problems have you experienced, and how do you fix it?

    If you want your own problem(s) fixed, it would be easier and quicker to post it and what you have tried to resolve it.
    If you simply want to see what others have had problems with, read their posts.

  • Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

    I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

    Hey Don,
    What exactly happens after you install iTunes? Do you see an error message?

  • ITunes and Windows Vista

    I've just purchased a new computer. It came with Vista Home Premiun OS. When I download iTunes on it -- it works fine until the computer is shut down. When the computer is then started again the DVD/CD driver software cannot be found. The drive won't recognize anything. If I uninstall iTunes it works fine, I reload iTunes and it works fine until I shut down again -- then it doesn't find it again.
    I am pretty sure I have the most updated version of Vista (although I will check asap) and know that I have most updated iTunes (just downloaded) -- anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it....other going back to XP or uninstalling iTunes?

    It would be best first to check for a device filter conflict:
    iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
    ... however, if you're still getting no CD/DVD drive with just the iTunes filters in place, you may be one of the unlucky ones who are getting the issue discussed here:
    Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
    Although it wouldn't necessarily be a short-term solution, keep an eye on that document for updated information about the issue.
    In the short term, one workaround might be to use a different application to rip the CDs, and then use the "Add to library" function to get the ripped files into your iTunes. The following document might be of some help with that:

  • ITunes on Windows Vista and audio CDs

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes for Windows Vista. I actually tried this before the new version came out and my audio CDs wouldn't play correctly. I tried everything in the article "Audio does not play or plays incorrectly" and it didn't work. I thought it might be the system, so I waited until the new version came out. When it did, I downloaded it, but my CDs still don't play correctly. I tried everything in the article again and it still didn't work. Now I'm at a dead end. Help!

    I have the exact same problem...!!! I posted a couple of weeks ago and still no help. Not only do I not get any audio from my CD's, I cannot RIP music from them either. All audio and drive functionality work with all other players. Drive diagnostics report no problems. I am seriously considering switching to another MP3 player. (All this after purchasing multiple IPOD's) I run Vista Home Premium on a new DELL. I have no other issues as of yet.

    Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you for downloading iTunes'' but I don't find it in my system.
    I have tried all suggested option to solve it but all in vain. Please help me to get rid of this problem

    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • ITunes haets Windows Vista with a passion.

    iTunes often crashes explorer.exe and causes BSODs on my Windows Vista computer. Also, for some reason, access to my iPod is denied and I can't open it like I could for a regular drive. Needless to say, this is VERY annoying.
    I like Windows Vista so far, but it's compatibility problems are crippling.

    I recently downloaded my ITunes library from my old Dell Laptop Inspiron 6000 with Windows XP OS to my new Dell Insprion 6400/E1505 with Windows Vista OS and found that all of my music transfered successfully but the ID tags and track information was transfered in a different order than the actual songs they are "tagged" to so that there is no compatability between a song title/artist/album name and the actual song playing (with the exception that it does tag the info to a different song within the same album just not in the same order). I'm having to go back and manually type-in the correct tag ID's for over 5400+ songs. Are you aware of any "quick fix" for my Windows Vista compatability problem?
    My Windows Vista problem is when I try to rip music
    to iTunes the process slows down and locks up....I
    saw the article and spoke to Apple support....they
    say a fix is here or near here....do you have any
    insight into this particular dilema?
    Thanks for any help or direction

  • Why can't I install Itunes on windows vista 64 bit?

    Why can't I install Itunes on windows vista 64 bit? I have removed all apple software and repeated the reinstall many times but it fails.  I get this complicated error mesage and then the installer rolls back and fails.

    I get this complicated error mesage and then the installer rolls back and fails.
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.

  • Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

    Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
    How do I transfer the library from the 160gb  to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
    Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
    Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
    Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
    Thanks

  • ITunes on Windows Vista...Crashes Every Time

    Hi.
    I just purchased an ipod nano and installed itunes on my PC (windows vista).  It worked the first time but would crash 1/4 of the way through syncing my library to my ipod. 
    Now itunes just crashes/freezes/is completely unresponsive as soon as I open it either my clicking the icon or by plugging in the ipod.
    Completely unimpressed...I have owned 10+ phones/mp3 players in the past and have never had an issue (hadn't been using itunes) with transferring files, etc.
    How do I fix itunes?
    I updated Quicktime and iTunes...Quicktime is working fine on its own.

  • Am getting Routine error  R6034. I can not open iTunes.  Windows Vista Home  64 bit

    For the  first time,am getting a routine error R6034. Do not let open my iTunes, and possible lost all my contents. Why is this happening, is it nothing  secure on the Internet no more even our music? Please  I appreaciate any good help. I tried to redownload am stil the same  message. During reinstallation.."Service Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges. Options   ABORT,RETRY,OR IGNORE. That is what am getting.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
