Using ITunes Store with Windows Vista

I seem to be having a problem with downloading my songs. I keep receiving an error message (err. 3259) and I have already paid for my downloads. Now what?

You can try to download items one at a time to get rid of this error message. Follow these steps for such:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Check for Purchases.
3) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin downloading.
4) Under the STORE section on the left, click Downloads.
5) Click the Pause All button in the lower-right corner. This will temporarily pause all of your downloads.
6) To resume only one of the downloads, click the refresh button that appears to the right of one of the paused downloads.
If that doesn't help, you may want to consider performing the following to be sure no software is conflicting with iTunes:
1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running
4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem
Hope this helps =)

  • Cannot connect to itunes store-with Windows Vista

    I downloaded itunes 7 and thats when my problem started. From itunes store I click on account to create a new account because my aol account is expired. When the connection is attempted an apple itunes error screen comes on that says "Your request could not be completed". "Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes music store. For detailed solutions to solve the issue, click "more info". When I do that I get instructions to make sure cookies can be accepted. I have already checked my Internet Explorer settings and added the itunes music store to my "always trusted" websites. The second instructions have me hung up. It says to go into control panel, date and time, and click on "internet time". Then to synchronize with an internet time server. When I try to do that with each server listed, I get errors. "An error occured while attempting to synchronize with the server" time.windows.com or any of the others as well. I have tried a thousand times over and I cannot get synchronization. Is this what is really stopping me from connecting to the itunes music store? When I went to Windows Vista help, Microsoft says that Vista Home Premium Edition does not have sync capabilites. PLEASE HELP! I hope someone has encountered and solved this problem. Thanks.

    I am unable to connect to the iTunes store when I have Windows Vista parental controls turned on. It will just sit there saying "Accessing iTunes store...". Or sometimes I can connect, but it's very slow. If I knew the iTunes store URL, I could add it to the allow list. HELP!!

  • I don't want iCloud. How do I get iTunes to stop popping up the panel that asks me if I want to download the iCloud Control Panel? I'm using iTunes 11 on Windows Vista.

    I don't want iCloud. How do I get iTunes to stop popping up the panel that asks me if I want to download the iCloud Control Panel? I'm using iTunes 11 on Windows Vista.

    Why do you believe iTunes is causing this to occur?
    What is the exact wording of the message?
    I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 and never gotten that message.

  • I am using a PC with Windows Vista. I've been using iTunes on this computer for over 6 years. Suddenly I can not play any music on iTunes. I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes however it did not fix the issue. Can anyone please help?

    Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?

    Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk.  It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.

  • Itunes problem with windows Vista

    ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
    However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
    Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
    Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
    So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
    This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

  • Cannot open iTunes 8 with Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem. I have a new Ipod Touch that needs itunes 8 to work. I have a new HP PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem I'm having is: itunes & quicktime will download successfully onto my computer, but after download will not open. I receive the error message "itunes has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried to open them from desktop & from programs ...will not work. I was using itunes 7 with no problems, but after upgrade to the new version (itunes 8) I started having this problem. Here are a few of the things I have tried so far with help from just about every tech support I could find: uninstall & reinstall itunes (tried this several times..didn't help, but itunes installs successfully each time)...try installing quicktime & itunes separately (didn't help)..disable firewall & virus protection (didn't help)...turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (didn't help)...tried saving software to discs & installing itunes that way (didn't help)...I have updated all of my software including windows vista...I've run virus checks...& pretty much run checks on anything else I could find. I occasionally get the same error message when I try to open Rhapsody, but not every time. I'm thinking of using my backup discs & restoring my computer to factory settings. To do that would be a last resort, but I am getting pretty close to desperate. Does anyone think restoring it would help? If anyone has any ideas for me to try I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

    You need to to check to see if your Quicktime works normally. Itunes will not work if QUicktime doesn't.
    If Quicktime doesn't work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
    Go to your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. In XP you need to be in classic view to see it, I am not sure about Vista.
    Give the full text of any error message.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar
    If so uninstall them, they are bad news for Quicktime.
    Report back with your results.
    If Quicktime is OK have you seen the Apple troubleshooting article for launch failure, I guess you have probably done quite a bit of it anyway, but is worth going through it systematically:

  • Itunes incompatibility with windows vista

    Itunes versions 7.1 and 7.2 do not work with windows vista correctly. Both versions interfere with uploading the DVD drive when booting up the computer. The DVD drive can not start.
    Is there a solution for this?

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.

  • Error 1202 with iTunes Store and Windows Vista

    When I try to redeem music on iTunes Store, or access my account, etc. I receive "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    I have read many similar posts and tried many fixes (checked time/date on my computer, made sure LAN proxy settings is unchecked, turned off my Norton firewall, tried to access iTunes Store in safe mode, etc.). None of these worked. Please help as we would like to purchase music from the iTunes store and have done so successfully in the past on this computer.

    This problem is related to having your computer, Apple device, etc
    (from your current physical location) being unable to resolve/connect to
    the following site/domain names and their related IP address(s).
    The following table is presented to help explain/clarify this issue:
    Site/Domain name | IP Address
    phobos.apple.com | 17.250.237.43
    deimos3.apple.com | 206.169.246.144
    albert.apple.com | 17.149.240.64
    gs.apple.com | 17.151.36.30
    itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.171
    ax.itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.139
    If ANY of these sites/IP address are unresolvable (via PING for example)
    then the ability/usability of Apple's iTunes (and the Store) will suffer.
    To have yourself verify that (if) you can connect to these sites, you'll
    need to open up a MSDOS/Command prompt window
    and then type "ping" (without the quotes) and one of the (above) listed sites.
    For example you would type the following at your command prompt:
    ping phobos.apple.com (then press the return/enter key)
    which (should) give you results like this:
    pinging phobos.apple.com.akadns.net http://17.250.237.43 with 32 bytes of data:
    Note: Anyt response other than "reply" (like Request timed out)
    indicates a problem resolving the site's name to an IP address
    and (generally) has NOTHING to do with your (normally functioning) computer
    as this is dependent on the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that you are
    using to connect to the Internet (like Sprint, Insightbb, etc) with.
    The 'key' here is that it's the ISP's responsibility to (properly) resolve
    the site's name to (one or more of) Apple's sites.
    If (however) Apple (itself) is (currently) experiencing a DDOS attack
    (Distributed Denial Of Service) upon one (or more) of it's sites, then THAT
    would explain a possible cause of the problem.
    However I stress THAT is NOT the problem since I can connect from my Insightbb
    (ISP provider) at home but (currently) can not connect at work via their ISP.
    This is (also) WHY the "tag" of the FQDNSN (Fully-Qualified DNS Name)
    is listed as http://akadns.net since that is the ISP/Router resolving the DNS name!
    I hope that this has helped shed some light as to WHo's problem this REALLY is,
    and will help to stop the Apple-User 'finger-pointing' game in it's tracks!

  • Problems Installing iTunes 10 with Windows Vista

    I am running Windows Vista (32 bit) and have installed iTunes 10. Any time I try to launch iTunes I receive the following message: "iTunes needs to be repaired to work with Vista. Use the 'Programs and Features' control panel to repair iTunes."
    The bigger problem is when I open the Programs and Features control panel, iTunes is not listed as a program. All of the other iTunes components are listed(Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour). However, I can see iTunes (version 10) in the C:>Programs Files>iTunes folder, just not in the control panel.
    I was going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall as numerous posts have suggested, however, since the program does not appear in the control panel, I have not been able to uninstall it.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes Authentication with Windows Vista

    I've recently upgraded to Windows Vista. It would seem the computer authorization then becomes broken - my complete purchased library became unplayable without having to authorize another computer for each song (even though it's the same machine), and, that doesn't work either. iTunes connects to the store, says that it sucessfully authorized the song, but then - the song will still not play. iTunes keeps on complaining that the song is still not authorized.
    At this point I'm getting pretty annoyed/frustrated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    perhaps try the workaround from the following post:
