Windows Defender Beta 2 Stops iTunes 6.03 From Installing Completely

Hey,
There is a bug with Windows Defender Beta 2 and iTunes.
I thought I would tell apple and Microsoft about it. Check microsoft beta newsgroups.
When you install iTunes 6.03 and have Windows Defender Beta 2 running it will cause iTunes setup to error with the following:

Clicking ok and install continues like normal and iTunes is installed ok. Have not run into any problems because of the errror in iTunes.
Now after installing iTunes Windows Defender Beta 2 flags its install since its trying to install a service.

So here is to hoping Apple and Microsoft work this out sooner than later.
Take Care,

Katrina--Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no way to turn off the new Windows Defender software (it's the replacement for the Microsoft Anti-Spy beta software). Fortunately, I already had iTunes 6.02.23 installed before I installed Windows Defender earlier this week. I had some big problems accessing the music store yesterday, but I've resolved them. (And I really don't think Defender was causing the problems. I think the music store home page was overwhelmed by people participating in the current contest.) If there's a conflict between Defender and iTunes it helps those of us using both to know this. Then we can figure out troubleshooting solutions to resolve the problem. If we come up with workarounds, it helps everyone on this board, doesn't it?
P.S., I understand Spybot has problems with the newest version of iTunes too. The mini-store is the culprit. I don't think these programs prevent you from using iTunes they just don't like some of the features in the mini store--so they warn you about them.

  • STOP iTunes and iPhoto from stealing focus...

    I was curious if there is anyway to stop iTunes and iPhoto from stealing focus when I plug in my iPhone. I do not have pictures to sync, yet iPhoto still popos up. Not only that, when it finishes loading, it steals focus, so if I am working on something else, now all my mouse commands and keyboard stokes are all in iTunes.
    - Is there anyway to stop iTunes from stealing focus? To just have it pop-up in the background and bounce for all I care, just not steal focus.
    Thanks!

    I already have iTunes configured so it doesn't open up when I plug my iPod touch in. What I don't like is when it steals focus after it's done syncing. Programs on Windows are supposed to "play nice" and not steal focus. They can request focus and flash the taskbar button, but that's it. So, if anyone knows how to prevent iTunes on Windows from stealing focus, I'd really appreciate it.

  • Stop iTunes 11.0 from launching automatically when iPhone is connected?

    Hi all -
    Just got an iPhone 5 and connected it to my computer to charge. Discovered upon doing so that my version of iTunes is now upgraded to 11.0.  How do I stop iTunes 11.0 from automatically launching when I connect my iPhone?  I can't find an appropriate box to uncheck.  In the old version of iTunes, there were different things to uncheck for stopping automatic syncing and automatic launching.  Is this still the case?  If so I'd like to prevent launching but keep syncing.
    Thanks.

    Hummm, that's odd. I always have "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" unchecked, it has been working fine untill this morning, out of the blue when I plug the iPhone 5 in, **** iTunes launchs itself Then an error message said the iTune could not connect to the iPhone5, meanwhile the iPhone keeps beeping because of that.
    It seems like Apple loves all these obnoxious automatic this and that features, they do it in iPhoto, XCode.... everything they make. Personally I like to have more control of what I want to do, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!! all the automatic these and that.

  • Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

    windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
    the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
    anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

    The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
    VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

  • How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart?  "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups.  I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5.  Thank you!

    How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart?  "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups.  I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5.  Thank you!

    Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
    Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
    The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
    It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
    Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
    +"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
    do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
    So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

  • Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available FREE from MS

    Ok who wants to try to run this with BootCamp ??? I am guessing it should be fine as its a release for x86 CPU (Intel).
    Heres the link:

    Its a 3GB ISO image which means you will need to burn the image to a DVD on completion...
    For the Windows Vista Beta 2 activation key:

    I am not too sure how getting the product key works - I am sure someone out there can work it out !!!
    Dont shoot the messenger !

    Excellent ! Thanks for the heads up Nick.
    I tried it in 'Image Mode' on Parallels (using the ISO as the boot image) and it definitely starts, but halts at an unknown USB device error. I disabled all the devices in Parallels - but no joy.
    I am not in a mad rush to do it anyway - might try with BootCamp some time.
    Did anyone get a result with the activation key via the SECOND LINK I provided (registering with MS ) ???
    Once the mad rush subsides, heres some links to different language versions etc:

    Heres the instructions for BootCamp and Vista taken from the forum in a prev post: (attempt at your own risk)...
    Installing Vista works fine without erasing your OS X partition. Here are some instructions I used that worked perfectly.
    "1) Boot to the Vista DVD.
    2) When I got to the "Choose a drive to install to" page, pressed "advanced" (or "more drive info" or whatever it's called).
    3) Selected the first partition (200MB unknown partition), this was the EFI partition.
    4) Pressed "delete."
    5) Selected the Windows partition to install to.
    From there Vista took about an hour to install on my build. After the first reboot it came back with a "Could not find Winload.exe" error.
    To fix that, I booted to the DVD again and selected "recovery options" - it said "Your startup information is invalid, click Repair And Restart to fix it".
    On the next reboot it worked fine."
    Taken from this thread: http://forum.osx86project.org/index....ic=14448&st=40
    NOTE: The Boot Camp drivers CD will not install properly so the wireless networking won't work out of the box. The regular ethernet driver works straight out of the box with Vista as well as the graphics driver, sound, bluetooth. You need to extract the drivers manually from the setup.exe in the boot camp disk to get the wireless networking driver, brightness control and CDEject.exe or whatever it's called. The startup control panel will also need to be installed manually. At least that is the case for the iMacs.
    Note #2: Deleting that EFI partition will make it so you can't erase the windows partition from withing the boot camp app in OS X. You would need to restore the EFI partition manually if you wanted to do that.

  • How to stop iTunes on iPad from zooming to artwork?

    Is there any way to stop iTunes on the iPad from Zooming to the **** album artwork when selecting a song? This is annoying and wastes time.

    It only zooms in on the album artwork for the first song you choose, after that it just plays the song when you touch it.

  • How do I stop iTunes back up from deleting my photos?

    So I went to add some music to my iPhone last night, having added some stuff to iTunes.
    It was the third time I plugged my iPhone into the PC, having used itunes to sync it, activate it and all the rest. Plugged it in and was greeted with "welcome to your new iphone... set up as new phone or restore from backup" (the backup being from the previous time I'd plugged it in. Neither of these was the 'correct' option, given that it was the same phone on the same account, so I picked the one that had my phone's name - restore from backup, and without any further prompts it deleted all the photos I'd taken since the last time I'd plugged it into iTunes. Having done that, I was able to get into 'sync' and get stuff from iTunes onto my phone and vice versa.
    So my questions are these:
    If I go on to take more pictures with my phone, how do I get them on to the pc without iTunes deleting them? I appreciate that Sync is one way to do this, but last night I couldn't [i]get[/i] to sync without letting iTunes delete all my stuff first. Surely I don't have to set it up as a new phone every time?
    What might have prompted iTunes to treat the phone as a new phone? I was logged into my usual account (I only have one, and I'm the only person in the house who has one). I don't really understand why it kind of became hostile to a device that it'd already synced with, and I'd like to understand what I can do to avoid it happening again. I don't use iTunes on any other computer, either.

    This is where the backups are stored on the computer.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Go to the appropriate folder and remove it.

  • How to stop iTunes web preview from automatically launching iTunes?

    Any time you go to an iTunes web preview page (which a lot of app sites/reviews link to), it automatically launches iTunes, completely defeating the purpose of having a web preview page in the first place. How can I make it stop doing this? I've looked in both Safari & iTunes prefs; if it's there, I didn't see it.

    It's very annoying, and I wish there was a solution too. If I click on a link to for something to iTunes, I now have a new web browser window opened that is showing the exact same thing that opened in iTunes. How pointless is that? Its to the point that I am looking for alternatives to iTunes for managing my media.

  • How to stop iTunes purchased movies from downloading.

    I have a MacBook Air with limited memory... 
    I want to purchase movies on iTunes and leave the movies in iCloud.  I don't want my purchased movies to download to my Mac but they continually attempt to download.  How can I stop this permanently?

    Launch iTunes.
    Select Movies on the left.
    That where it should be.

  • How to Stop iTune popping out from dock...annoying

    I don't want iTune auto lunching or popping out from the dock if the app opened and minimized...annoying. Me never liked iTune.

    Well, I figured the only way to resolve my issue was to just closed iTune window while I got the Internet radio playing...it won't pop out of Dock now.

  • Stop itunes 10.5 from requiring log in every time?

    I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 Now, whenever I open iTunes, I have to log in with my password (my Apple ID is already populated).
    How can I set up an automatic log in (like - I guess - there used to be), or how do I turn this feature off?

    Ok, this is what I did to solve my problems.
    I went to a Windows Recovery-point and reseted my Windows to a point before this itunes update 10.5.1.
    Then, after starting itunes it told me: "Cant open library because it was created by a newer Version"
    So I found a folder in the itunes-folder named "Previous iTunes Librarys" I picked the latest itunes.itl file, copied it into the "main"-itunes Folder and renamed it to the original "iTunes Library.itl"
    And what can I say it worked!
    I am glad to have my old iTunes back. Even though support from Apple directly was very poor!
    Hope this helps someone with the same problem,
    regards

    Is your iPhone recognized by iTunes when connected - it is available under Devices in the iTunes source list?
    If so, what is selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes - under the Music tab and under the Apps tab?

  • Stop iTunes desktop icon from appearing after update

    Any way to configure this behaviour?
    I like an uncluttered desktop and have the shortcuts where I like them to be.  On every update however, the iTunes desktop icon appears on my desktop, and it's one of those little things that is really annoying.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    This icon is created as part of the installer, as Wally said, there is no way to stop this.
    It's not too difficult to delete the icon anyway
