Windows Power Management settings don't work with ITunes

Purchased a refurbished Dell Optiplex system a few weeks ago with a 3.2 Ghz Pentium processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and 160 GB of hard drive - so a nice, new, fast system running Windows XP.
I set my Power Management settings to go to screen saver after 20 minutes, and power down after 45 minutes. It worked just fine for a month, and the day I downloaded Itunes onto this computer, those settings do not work.
I have reset them.
I have changed them (to as little as one minute).
I have changed them back to the original settings.
I have rebooted my computer.
I have run 2 different spyware programs (Spybot and Adaware) as well as run an anti-virus scan (TrendMicro Housecall).
Nothing has changed, and my only conclusion is that Itunes is somehow interfering with the power settings for my computer and monitor. This is rather frustrating, as I'd like my computer to shut off on its own if someone walks away (I can't trust my kids to log off on their own).
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Hi, I just bought my iPhone a couple of days ago and am having the same problems.
I have a Macbook at home, but need to be able to sync with my work computer for contacts and calendar. At work I'm running on Windows XP Pro SP 2 and MS Outlook 2003 SP 3. I've made sure to update all MS software. I'm running on iPhone 1.1.3 and iTunes 7.6.
My contacts sync fine, but, so far, no luck with my calendar. I've gone through the trouble of completely deleting everything off my calendar and am trying "test" appointments to no avail. What's really frustrating is that I've logged out of my ID on this computer and logged in using a test ID. I can successfully sync a test appointment following those steps.
Tech support tells me that since I'm successful under those conditions, it must be a corrupt entry on my main calendar. But, as I've mentioned, I deleted everything I can find off my main calendar and am still not able to get it to sync successfully.
This is quite frustrating.

  • I use USB portable speakers from Trust, but they don't work with iTunes, but they do with wmp... any tips?

  • Windows 7 mouse gestures don't work with DW and FW

    I discovered that the mouse gestures don't work with Dreamweaver CS4 and Fireworks CS4 windows. When I drag a window to the right or left, nothing happen. The gestures words fine with all other programs, even Adobe programs like Photoshop or Lightroom. Can anyone help?

    Thanks Robb. I tried those options but it didn't work, but I'm posting here the final resolution in case anyone else encounters the issue.
    I had the local desktop support check out his PC and it turns out that the Windows 7 screen resolution was causing the issue. The only reason it was caught is because his desktop sharing software also was not working correctly.
    Within the display settings Windows 7 allows you to display text/icons larger without changing the resolution. The user's display was set at 150%. After changing to 100% (default) the desktop sharing and Essbase double clicking are working.

  • Windows 2003 calendar sync doesn't work with iTunes 7.6

    I updated to the new iTunes 7.6 yesterday and found out that calendar sync didn't work. I tried everything that is suggested by the Apple.com support web site. None worked. I didn't have any problem with my calendar with iTunes 7.5. I hope Apple could resolve this issue ASAP as I need my work calendar be synced on my iPhone.

  • Surround Sound speakers don't work with ITUNES 7

    My surround sound speakers have worked with my computer since I got them and still are working. However, when I upgraded to ITUNEs 7 suddenly only the front speakers work, this only happens on ITUNEs and nothing else. What is going on and how can I fix it?

    I have surround sound speakers and mine are working fine with iTunes 7. Now, I don't want to state the obvious, but my surround sound speakers have a bass box attached and the leads go into the back and sometimes they come loose. You've probably already checked this but I thought it worth a a mention.

  • Dell laptop media keys don't work with iTunes 7.x

    After installing the most recent version of iTunes (7.3), my media buttons on the front of my Dell Precisions M90 no longer work, unless iTunes is the active program. Same thing happened with my other Dell laptop. Anyone have a fix for this?

    This has also happened to me. Any way to fix it?

  • WEP settings don't work with XP & AX?

    I have an AX that I've been using with my PBG4 for a couple years, no problems. Today I tried to join an XP laptop to my AX network. My WEP password on the AX is 7 characters long. The Security Settings dialog box on the XP machine is asking for the Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key) which I assumed was the WEP password to join the AX. When I enter the WEP password I get an error message that says:
    The Wireless Security Password entered does not contain the required number of characters.
    (I'm using 128 bit encryption)
    For Encryption Level - 128 bit, the Password is either 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 Hexadecimal values.
    Please help me get this machine working on my network!
    Thanks,

    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Cd/dvd burner and usb ports don't work with itunes

    I got a 7th_generation_ipod_nano for Christmas and when I downloaded itunes I discovered my cd/dvd device disappeared and my usb ports no longer worked.  I tried a fix and that failed so did a system recovery to the time prior to my itunes download. My ports and cd/dvd worked normally.  I then re-downloaded itunes and again the ports and cd/dvd failed and again I did a system recovery and again they worked normally.  Anyone got a clue?  I noticed I am not the only onw with this problem and am wondering if its a bug in the new download.  Any help most appreciated.  Thanks!

    I discovered the answer to my own problem and anyone else out there who needs it here it is:  If you have itunes installed on your computer and cd/dvd device is not working do a system restore to a time prior to the dl of itunes.  Check to make sure your cd/dvd works again.  If it does, then all you need to do is make sure your ipod is NOT connected to your computer while you download itunes again.  Should fix the problem.

  • Rented movies and films don't work with iTunes (no response error)

    Hi,
    recently, I've rented a movie via iTunes but every time I try to watch it there's no response from iTunes anymore and I have to close the application. I've tried updating, re-installing iTunes and QuickTime Player but still no response. Videocard and Directx are also up to date. Same problem occurs while trying to watch  trailers in iTunes Store. Anybody any solution or idea? I have a Windows Vista PC by the way

  • Problems with SpeedStep and Windows Power Management: SYSTEM FREEZES!

    I am running an E6600 on my MSI 975X PUE-Mainboard @ 2,4 GHz.  I am experiencing a strange problem that seems to be related to EIST and/or Windows Power Management:
    As soon as I set Windows Power Management to "Presentation" or any other mode that lets Windows throttle the CPU frequency the system freezes randomly: no bluescreens, no error messages...the only option is to hit the restart button...
    However, if the Windows Power Management Option is set to "Desktop" the system runs just fine!
    Has anyone else experienced similar problems? 
    Any suggestions?

    @Vaniireg
    Thanks for your reply, but I cannot agree.  Windows Power Management is needed in order to use Speedstep:
    http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/203838.htm
    Intel clearly states that:
    "An OS that supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology is required. Current supporting OSs include:, Microsoft Windows* XP SP2 includes native support for Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology."
    and further:
    "Finally Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology must be turned on in the OS. Currently, for Windows* XP SP2 operating systems Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology by default is off. To turn it on do the following: Under Control Panel – open Power Options Under the Power Schemes pull down menu To turn Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology ON select, “Minimal Power Management,” power scheme.  To turn Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology OFF select, “Always On,” power scheme."
    If I select the "Minimal Power Management" power scheme, the CPU frequency will drop to about 1,6 GHz and the Voltage (CPU-Z) to 1,136-1,144 V.  Whenever I do that the system will eventuelly freeze.  Skipping through a video file in Media Player Classic is sometimes enough to cause the system to hang. 
    If I select the "Always On" power scheme the system will run stable, no freezes will occur, but the CPU will ALWAYS run @2,4 GHz and the voltage WILL NOT be reduced to 1.14 V. 
    @batcook09:
    Unfortunately, a clean re-install of Windows XP Pro did not take care of my problem.  I've already tried that.  The system is not overclocked and is running with default settings.  Speedstep is enabled. 
    It is interesting to notice, that Dual Core Center always causes my system to freeze, even though Windows Power Management Options are set to "Always On".  I read a lot of bad things about this program and that is one more reason for me to avoid using it.
    Well, I have forwarded my problem to Intel and MSI Support, maybe they will come up with any solution.
    Until then, further suggestions are very welcome...

  • Power injectors don't work with APs

    Has someone got experience on cisco power injectors for Aironet APs.
    I bought 3 injectors, and 3 power supplys(injectors need power supply, but don't come with the boxes) from cisco.
    I connected a switch(2960) port to the port ‘to network’ on the power injector, and connected a AP(1142N) Ethernet port to the port ‘to Device’ on the power injector.
    The power injector was powered on by the DC supply. But the AP couldn't be powered on by the injector, and the switch port also showed 'noconnect'.
    No particular commands setup on the switch port’s settings.  I tried the switch port auto-auto and 100-full, Vlan access and trunk, but no luck with the injectors.
    Connected the same power supply to the same AP, used the same switch port and same cables, the AP worked fine with the switch.
    Thought of faulty injector, but it's weird that all 3 new purchased injectors are faulty.
    Am I doing anything wrong? do I need to put any commad on switch interface to use power injector?(I cannot believe that)  or just had bad luck of having 3 faulty injectors?
    Please help.  Thanks a lot.

  • Why safari 5 and itunes 10 don`t work with windows xp?

    Some one knows why the mos recent version of safari and itunes don`t work on windows xp?

    Define "don't work".  Frankly that's about the most vague and useless statement without some clarification.
