Vista and itunes 7.5

I have searched the forums and haven't found the answer to make this work:
I install 7.5 and it's other parts.... quicktime and the updaters, i try to launch it and vista says it has in countered a problem with items and shuts down, i have tried to change quicktime to an earlier version with no sucess. I have tried an earlier version of itunes nothing. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have thousands of songs on my ipod and in my library on old machine. Have 60gig ipod ,i phone and have invested alot of money in my itunes songs, VERY VERY upset with this version of itunes i hope they resolve it soon.
Also Plz refrain from saying" just buy a Mac, to fix your issues" thanks in advance for any help i can be given

I downloaded the new version of iTunes and I get an "Error Message 8725". Not sure what that means and cannot find anything on it. Won't let me upgrade. I have an old 60GB iPod. My iTunes 7.2 still works good. I'll keep using it for now. I just ordered a 160GB iPod. If it comes with an install disc. I'll see what happens then. I'm cool with 7.2 for now. I do hope they get a solution soon though.

  • A Troubleshooting Guide for Windows Vista and iTunes 8 - user supported

    ITunes 8 and Windows Vista can be an explosive combination. Having helped to troubleshoot some problems for people, I decide to consolidate my information all down to one post. The information comes from various sources, and I will try to annotate where it came from. Please let’s keep this a solutions listing post. So people can come to it when they have a problem and easily find a solution.
    *ITunes will not install:*
    ITunes will sometimes not install or the installation will hang up under Vista. First I will give some generalized steps to take in order of priority, and then get into some specifics.
    General
    *1. Turn off your Anti-Virus Software.* Some A/V software will prevent the installer from accessing the Windows System Files causing the install to Bork.
    *2. Uninstall third-party Audio-Video Codecs.* Installing iTunes also installs Quicktime which installs the necessary codecs to play its supported files. Some codec packs, such as DivX and XviD have the ability to read these files, and their method of decoding these files can cause conflicts with the Quicktime installation. Even third-party CD Burning (Roxio, Nero, and the like) software can cause this problem. Once iTunes is installed, you can reinstall these codecs without any ill effects.
    *3. Disable Windows Defender.* Windows Defender is a resident A/V type program native to Windows Vista. It can also sometimes cause conflicts during installation. To disable it, go to the Windows Defender tab in your Control Panel, and chose disable in the dialogue box.
    Specific
    *1. When I install iTunes, the installation stops and I get error message 2738.* This error message means that the Visual Basic Script is not being installed properly or it could be disabled. To fix this we need to re-initialize the Visual Basic Script server. Do the following:
    In the search panel of the start bar, type cmd.exe.
    When the search results are listed, right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.
    Type in the following at the command prompt: regsvr32 vbscript.dll and hit enter.
    Run the iTunes install program again.
    *2. ITunes installed properly, but now I am stuck in a reboot loop.*
    This behaviour is a known problem to Apple and they are working on it. What is happening, when you run the program, it is involking a repair check of your installation. Beaconfield came up with a work around to use until Apple patches the software.
    “Navigate to C:\Program Files\iTunes\ and right click on iTunes.exe then select Sent To > Desktop. This will create a new icon that should load iTunes just fine.”
    I know there are more issues out there, but these seem to be the most common. If anyone has anymore solutions, please add them to this post. Like I said initially, I would like this post to be an easy reference for troubleshooting.
    Thanks again,

    Ok, so I saved my Windows Media Player playlist as M3U files and imported them into iTunes. Wow! What a complete mess that made of my library.
    All songs that were on the playlists (hundreds of songs) were duplicated in my iTunes library. iTunes would show two entries for each song. When I right clicked and choose 'Show in Windows Explorer' both entries point to the same song, it just shows up twice in iTunes.
    I cleared my iTunes library file and am starting over. I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Media Player. I've been listening to music off my Blackberry and it's really been fine. Just seemed a shame that my iPod was sitting in a drawer because of all the issues I'm having with iTunes and Vista.
    The original problem I had months ago was that iTunes crashed on Vista and lost all my Playlists. I was so upset I put all my music on my SD card on my Blackberry, because Windows Media Player makes it so easy to back up your playlists. They are saved as files and can be included in any automatic backups (I have scheduled backups to another hard drive)
    I thought with this new version of iTunes I could at least export the playlists to files so they can be backed up, I just don't know if I can face re-creating the playlists in iTunes.

  • Windows Vista and iTunes does not work

    First Time sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany and my English is not the best.

    iTunes running under VISTA does not recognize media burned by iTunes Backup (v7.0.2) from a non-Vista machine.
    The original machine recognizes the media just fine, but the new VISTA machine does not recognize the dvd at all.
    Anyone else having a problem with VISTA recognizing burnt media?

  • Windows Vista and iTunes downloads

    I have a new computer with Windows Vista and downloaded iTunes on it. My previous music iTunes library works fine, but when I try to play a recently downloaded song, I get a message that I am not authorized to play it on this computer. What does that mean? I already tried reinstalling everything and it did not help. Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

    I suggest you post your message in the "iTunes for Windows" forum found at <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150>. It's a more appropriate place to find answers to your question.

  • Ugragrded to vista, and itunes wont work

    i upgraded to windows vista, and now my itunes wont open because it says the file, libary.itl is locked, on a locked disc or i dont heve write permission. HELP

    What format is the exHD, HFS+?
    Vista prefers NTFS or FAT. So you'd probably need some software that lets Vista read HFS+. Or consolidate it onto a different exHD that is FAT-formatted.

  • Vista and Itunes

    I want an answer from the makers of the IPOD and ITUNES!!! OR the SOLUTION!! I'm tired of this crap. Oh you posted in the wrong forum is the best answer I can get.
    I have looked but on this board its so hard to find any solution. I just installed Vista on a newly built computer. I installed Itunes (current version) problem is the DVD drive keeps going missing. I use the Microsoft fix. (see below) and it works but then the Itunes software says it needs to be reinstalled because a registry entry it uses is gone. What is the fix for this?
    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
    2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
    Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
    3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
    4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
    5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
    6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
    7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
    ix

    Are you able to even edit the registry key? The problem I had -- and many others, I've learned -- is that for some reason iTunes and/or QT locks down certain critical registry keys. So even if I'm logged on as an admin I can't change them.
    I posted a possible solution -- at least it worked for me:

  • Re-installing vista and itunes

    I got my iPod Touch back in November and purchased the Jan and July s/w updates. My iTunes runs on a Windows vista PC, which I need to re-install due to some disk issues.
    I've heard that if I re-install Vista and hence the iTunes s/w, my software purchases from Jan and July might be lost. Can someone pl. point me to some resource so I can do this safely without losing the s/w upgrades?
    Thanks.

  • Vista and iTunes 7.7 Freezing

    I'm getting several lockups either at launch or close of iTunes. Like right now, I started iTunes up, and it's sitting on my desktop frozen. Not even Task Manager will close it. And when it does work, it won't stop working! Attempting to close iTunes and the close button does nothing. Using File, Exit does nothing and even Task Manager can't End Task, but all other functions of iTunes work fine. Only a reboot gets me back to normal until I risk opening iTunes again. How can I resolve this, or does Apple have to come out with iTunes 7.7.1 on Monday?

    no one seems to care on this forum about this problem....i posted a similar issue because i run vista x64 as well and get freezing randomly. it seems to work when it wants to.
    itunes 8 has been no different....but one thing i find wierd is that i did not get a BSOD, even with a logitech device running on my machine and a sync with a 5G ipod.

  • Vista and Itunes 7.1

    Ok if Itunes 7.1 is suppost to work better with Vista why am I have more errors then I was before. Itunes crashes everytime I sync my ipod and now I can not even watch TV shows or Movies on my computer I just get a blank white window but the status bar is moving like the movie is playing. This is sad from a company like apple to have such problems!

    I know its frustrating to have hardware/software and not have it work right. Our company had the same Pre-release software you spoke of and we still have Vista only issues that we have to deal with. MS isn't exactly being nice about Vista for drivers and all sorts of things. The reason being I guess is that they got tired of people complaining their software doesn't work. I think they would love a closed platform like Apples.
    Keep in mind this is a public user forum. Apple employees hardly post here. The people who do post here (like me) volunteer our time. Keep an watchful eye on the Vista threads and it would hurt to repeat steps you already tired once in a while. I for one won't be upgrading to Vista any time soon or at all.

  • Windows Vista and iTunes just don't get along!

    Everyone,
    I'm having some serious issues with iTunes 7.6 and Windows Vista Ultimate. This is on a new capable computer, with a vista system rating of 5.1. Newest device drivers and windows updates are installed.
    Problem #1- iTunes takes forever to start up. At least 30 seconds, sometimes a full minute. During this time, there is very little HDD activity, processor usage is under 4%, and the system responds quickly to other requests. Other applications and games have to issues with startup, only iTunes.
    Problem #2- Occasionally, the iTunes window becomes black. If I then hit the start button on the keyboard, the iTunes window becomes normal again, but it is quite annoying.
    Anyone else experiencing these issues? Any resolutions?

    I'm going to group 1, 2, and 3 together, and assume it sounds as if the iBook hasn't been authorized for use with your iTunes Store account. In iTunes, click on your Store menu (at the top of the screen) and click Authorize Computer. Enter the information used to make your purchases and click Authorize. Once it says it's successful, see if you can play the songs in iTunes first. If so, go ahead and try to get them onto the iPod (whichever method you prefer). If they still don't play, please repost with the error message you receive so we can be of better assistance.
    Number 4 sounds like it may be normal behavior... example: If you have 10 songs in your Music library and you Autofill the iPod with all of them, and go back to the iPod's Contents and manually delete 5 of them, then add 3 more songs to your library and Autofill the iPod again from your Music library, you'll end up with all 13 songs on your iPod again. Let me know if you're able to follow what I'm saying... I almost wasn't :P

  • Windows Vista and iTunes

    iTune errors will be corrected by Microsoft in the RTM and Customer versions of Vista. RTM is out in many areas now and the Customer versions are out in 30 days.
    Until then, give this a try...
    1 - Go to your VISTA Control Panel and get into Admin Services. Find iTunes. Stop and restart thoses services.
    2 - Go to your VISTA Explorer and find \iTunes under Program Files. Under \iTunes, find iTunes.EXE. Right Click on iTunes.EXE and select the option to run as Administrator.
    This will launch a session of iTunes. You should be able to sync your iPod from there. Be sure that you have downloaded iTunes 7.2 on your Vista machine prior to doing this. I was getting many 1418, 1417, and other errors until I found this fix on the MS Vista site. My iTunes HELP diagnostic told me that iTunes was not running as an administrator and that my iTunes servics were not running, as well. That clued me into the fix I mention above. Good Luck All and Happy New Year
    HP Laptop   Other OS   Windows Vista

    Glad to help fiscus.
    Under Step #1 of my fix, what you are looking to do is to stop and restart the iTunes Services in Vista. Services can be accessed in Vista under Control Panel and Administrative Tools. Services is one of many options you can select under Administrative Tools.
    While in Services - locate the iTunes service. Even if the service shows as "started", take the options in the top left-hand corner of the Services screen to stop and restart the services for iTunes.
    Then, be sure to locate iTunes.EXE under Program Files and select the right click option to run iTunes.EXE in administrative mode (even if you are the administrator).
    iTunes claims that by the end of January, that they will have a fix for Vista posted, as well. I can just feel the love!
    Now, if I could only get connected to the iTunes store to buy more songs and give Apple more of my money...

  • Windows Vista and itunes 10.6

    After I installed itunes 10.6, the shorcut on my desktop no longer works.  The message I received said something about the file path no longer working.  I'm running Windows Vista.  Any ideas?

    When I type itunes in the search menu, it bring up my music, then a folder named itunes. Howver, when I click on the folder it opens to itunes files - library, library extras, previous libraries. Back up files - maybe?
    That's your content files and library files.
    Let's check to see if iTunes is currently installed. Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Can you see iTunes in the list of programs?
    If it's showing in the list, select iTunes and click repair. Does the repair go through properly?
    If it isn't showing in the list, try downloading and installing a fresh copy:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that install go through OK?
