Vista RC1 and itunes authorizations

Has anyone else upgraded to Vista RC1? I just did yesterday, and now whenever I try to play a song I bought on itunes, it asks me to authorize this computer. I enter in my password and it tells me that the computer has been authorized, but when I go to play the file it tells me I am not activated again. The cycle doesn't end.
Any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem. All Apple Support will do is suggest I unistall and re-install iTunes. I have done so three times and even taken off all my music and it still won't work.
I am hoping some future build will resolve it. In the meantime, I am not using iTunes.

TS3212 I installed an iTunes update on my Windows Vista Laptop and iTunes wouldn't start saying it was missing MSVCR80.dll, now when I start Outlook it is going on about a mobileme error? Any advice? I'm tempted to not use iTunes ever again.

Windows Vista 64 and Itunes/Ipod

Evening all,
Was wondering if anyone has had any issues using Itunes or an Ipod with Windows Vista 64?
Cheers

This was a small issue within WinXP. Maybe the solution for that would work with Vista.
If you get any message about "Another User", an "iPod Service Error" alert appears, or “Please reinstall iTunes" appears, turn off the 'Fast User Switching' - even if no one else is using the computer (Win XP environment).
==>Start=>Control Panel=>User Accounts=>Change the way users log on and off ==> Remove the check mark from FUS.

Vista 64 and Itunes 7.6.0.29

I downloaded itunes 7.6 this morning on my Vista 64 system. It installed without a hitch. I then plugged up my iphone which I have been syncing on my son's 32 bit XP system, it recognized the iphone after self installing drivers. I then actually downloaded 1.1.3 and installed it to my iphone on the 64 bit system. I merged the contacts and synced, had to erase the music but it now works on my 64 bit system. Has anyone else noticed this?

whatever

Vista 64bit and iTunes 8.2.0.23 - interface problems

I've had these strange iTunes interface issues ever since I moved to Vista 64bit a while ago.
I can't adjust the volume using the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window (to the right of the Play buttons) The volume slider won't respond to my mouse.
I can't scroll the library window using the scroll bar on the right side of the iTunes window. I have to either scroll with my mouse wheel or click the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar.
I also can't resize the library columns. They are either very narrow, or if I double click the column edge they will auto resize, then I am stuck with them set at the widest item in the list.
I recently uninstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices and the Apple Updater. I then searched my Hard Drive and Registry for anything left over from Apple or iTunes and deleted it.
I then downloaded and installed the latest iTunes, hoping that these issues would be resolved, but I am still having the same issues with the latest version.
Any ideas would be welcome.
I just realized I have another issue. I can't import my playlists from Windows Media Player either. I've added my Music folder to the iTunes playlist (the same one that Windows Media Player users) and went to File -> Library -> Import Play list -> chose my WMP playlist (a .wpl file) -> clicked Open and nothing happens.

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.

IMovie, iDVD and iTunes authorization.

I've purchased several songs on iTunes and authorized them for use on my Mac. I can play the songs from my iTunes music library. However, if I try to use the songs in an iMovie or iDVD project, I'm continually prompted to authorize use, over and over... Consequently, I can't burn my iDVD project using the songs I purchased from iTunes. When I burn my DVD, I get all of the video and audio except the songs I purchased/authorized from iTunes. Any suggestions? l tried iTunes customer support...no help there. I'm trying to complete a DVD video project for someone this weekend. THANKS!!!

Thanks for the tips...really helped. I also found the following info from Kallie at iTunes support contact helpful.
Run Software Update and apply available updates, including Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.4. Restart the computer after applying the updates. If that does not resolve the issue, follow normal troubleshooting for this symptom such as:
1) Check to see if the track plays in iTunes and QuickTime Player.
2) Check for non-Apple plugins in /Library/QuickTime/ and ~/Library/QuickTime/.
3) Try reimporting the track into your iMovie, iDVD or iPhoto project.
4) Check to see if the track works in a new project.
5) Check to see if the existing project works for a new user on the same computer.
Thanks so much Klaus1 for you CD tip...it really saved my _ _ _! Finished my video on schedule, YES!
Contiued Success! LK

Windows Vista Calendar and Itunes

Does anyone know how to get I-Tunes to use Windows Vista Calendar. I-Tunes says there is "No supported calendar application can be found." Does anyone know how to get I-Tunes / IPhone to sync with the Windows Vista Calendar?

Windows Mail is an email client only, which was a name change for Outlook Express with Vista. Windows Mail does not include a calendar.
The iPhone supports syncing contacts and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
If you are able to sync Gmail calendar events with the calendar application included with Windows, you can access a Gmail account with the iPhone's Mail client as an Exchange account via ActiveSync, which provides for over the air syncing for Gmail online contacts and calendar events.

Vista rc1 and live 24bit,

Can someone tell me if its possible to get this card working on vista rc on 64x. I have been trying for 2 days and cant submit my review till i sort this out. i really dont want to have to download the 32bit version. i have found vista stable so far but i need this driver badly.

Short answer, no. Long answer, yes.
Don't use the Vista x64 drivers. Install the XP Pro x64 drivers.
IF the installer doesn't work (it crashes for me) do the following.
Download and install a Zip program such as 7z (it's free).
Use 7z or whatever to extract all the compress files from the XP x64 download to some folder on your desktop.
Open Device Manager, right click on the media device (I foget the term Vista uses exactly) and click Update Driver Software.
Choose browse my computer and click on the browse button and point to the extracted folder. Make sure you check "Include Subfolders"
Click next and that should do it. Restart. No need for F8.
Sounds are good. I don't have any fancy speaker setup, just standard setero.
I'm sure there are other ways to get it to work, but that's how I did it.Message Edited by Thrawn05 on 09-08-2006 06:43 PM

K8N Diamond Plus' Audio drivers 4 Vista RC1???

Guys i need to find drivers for RC1 Vista for my built in Mother board creative Audigy SE on K8N Diamond Plus. Can any one help me where to find these drivers????????

well i installed the vista RC1 and downloaded the Audigy Se's vista RC1 drivers from creative's web site and i installed it on my system and it detected my motherboard's audigy SE as audigy live 24 bit but there was no sound so i updated the driver and i gave the path of my window's xp driver and it worked for windows vista RC1. and my sound card is now dectected as audigy SE not live 24 bit. thanks to msi for making a driver which works with both xp and vista RC1. i ll try to install the Xp's driver directly on Vista with setup.exe, and will see if this will give me all the sound configrations which we do see in windows xp. But i still request MSi to provide us good vista drivers.
I have one question,
CAN WE INSTALL AUDIGY SE's DRIVERS DOWNLOADED FROM WWW.CREATIVE.COM FOR AUDIGY SE BUILT IN SOUND CARD OF DIAMOND PLUS MOTHERBOARD(FOR WINDOWS XP) ?

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

ITunes authorization and song selection/playback issues

I use my computer (macbook air) and iTunes for work (I am an itinerant elem. music teacher). The computer does not have a disc drive, so I import music from CDs and use iTunes match to transfer tracks to my laptop or iPod.
I'm having a few issues with iTunes (11.0.5) that have been occuring recently.
1) I play a song from a playlist with no issues, then play the same song later (sometimes just minutes later) and receive a prompt saying I am not authorized on this computer to play that song and that song only. Entering my ID and password gets rid of the prompt, but causes iTunes to freeze (I usually force quit and restart the program, which sometimes fixes the problem and sometimes doesn't). I use iTunes match on this computer, but it still allows me to play other songs from the cloud while one song has authorization issues.
2) When searching for a song using the iTunes search bar I used to be able to double click on the matching items without pressing enter (as I type in the search query it brings up options, which I can then double-click to play without completing the search). Lately, when double-clicking on those songs they either don't play at all, or an entirely different piece of music will play. If I click again it will cycle to another (also wrong) piece of music. Despite what I type in the search, the songs that play when I click are songs with trumpet in the title somewhere, with the exception of one song, which is a trumpet sonata but does not say trumpet in the title or description. When I drag the song from the search menu to a playlist and click on it the correct song will play.
3) Some songs will refuse to play (iTunes claims that it is unable to find these songs). I usually re-import from a CD when this occurs, which usually fixes the problem, but sometimes not.
4) Some songs were imported but do not exist in my library. Most of these songs are accompaniment versions of other songs (background track only, with no vocals). They have the same title as their counterpart, with "acc" added at the end. At first I thought I simply neglected to import these tracks, but when I try to import just the ones I need they still disappear and I am unable to search for them by title (using the search bar) or by looking up their album.
5) Itunes will sometimes be unable to access tracks stored in the cloud, despite the computer having a strong internet connection. I can download songs from the cloud using iTunes match, but this becomes problematic as I use more songs than I have room for on this (school-issued) computer. I really don't want to spend time downloading and subsequently deleting files every week.

my home computer, where my library is stored, is running XP and it is not compatible with iMatch!
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/:
iTunes 10.5 system requirements, Windows
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7
I'm not sure how you're testing this with iMatch since Apple's site says it is not available yet, and there's no mention of any different system requirements (or any system requirements for that matter).
I don't know about the mp3 problem. It might help if you provided a link to specific examples others could test. I would think if this was a common issue with old mp3s there would have been 100,000 posts in this thread since it was started a month ago.

Windows Vista RC1 + iTunes 7

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone knows what i can do with my iTunes. Here's my problem...
I'm using Microsoft Windows Vista RC1 x64. I've installed iTunes and I can use the iPod as an external storage device, as I always could with Windows XP Pro SP2. However, when I add music to the iTunes (from such as a CD that are stored in my Music folder), it "looks" as if it's uploading the song but it isn't.
I have the iPod as manual update, so i drag a track over, and it has the progress bar at the top centre saying "updating ipod, do not disconnect" so that's all well. But once that's finished updating, if i try and search for the track on either iTunes or my iPod, it's nowhere to be seen!
Does anyone have any ideas as to how i could solve this situaion or anything? (Other than restoring my iPod). I just want to really know if iTunes and iPod works with Windows Vista RC1 as i know there are some glitches in some programs running on Vista.
Thanks,
Chris.

Anyone else having problem with RAID and iTunes syncing photos in Vista?

Hello,
For whatever reason iTunes can not load some of the photos from C drive. It can do it from D drive, though VERY slow. Both C and D are NTFS system, but C is a RAID 0 drive (implemented by hardware on motherboard, Intel 82801G controller). I just wander if this is something related to iTunes not working correctly with RAID drivers, or is it something else? I should say that ALL other programs and games working fine on this drive.
Thanks for the replies.

The problem is with Windows Vista using the NTFS file system, check out this post for the official solution. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it:
