Windows Vista and Autoplay with an iPod

When I plug my iPod into my doc I have it set up to automatically open iTunes. When I do this I'm presented with an autoplay dialog box in Vista. There isn't an option to do nothing and when you go into the autoplay settings I can't change anything so I don't get the autoplay dialog box when I plug in my iPod.
Does anyone have a magic answer to how not to have autoplay run every time I plug in iPod? I got it to work on my laptop but I don't know what I did different. I can turn off autoplay for all devices but I don't want this. This is frustrating and annoying
Thanks.

I unchecked "Use AutoPlay for all media devices" and it fixes the what do you want to do dialog boxes that pop up when I put my ipod in my dock. It not an ideal solution becuase it disables pop up dialog boxes for everything that I plug in. I'm hoping this is an issue not a feature and it gets addressed in Windows.

Using Windows Vista and IE7 with Forms based applications

A user has Vista & iexplorer 7 installed on their machine and when they attempt to access the Professional Buyer responsibility (forms based) they receive an error message stating that 'Internet Explorer has stopped working'. When they attempt the same thing using a machine with Windows XP Pro and IE6 they do not have a problem. Could anyone tell me if they have experienced a similar issue and how do you work around it whilst still using Internet Explorer?? Also we are using

Transaction V/08 on Windows Vista and only with HP Notebooks

I bet someone solves this paranormal issue !
We bought some new notebooks from HP (Pavilion dv6000 series) and whenever we enter the transaction V/08 ( SD Pricing Procedures ) the system falls down.
when using any other brand of notebook (we have here Dell, Sony and Toshibas ) the system works perfectly.
Is there anyone that has gone thru such an amazing thing like that ?

Hi Fernando,
Can you please cofirm that other brands notebook are also having Windows Vista installed ?
There might be some problem with particular hardware. I would advise you to search the solution at www.service.sap.com/notes for this problem.
And also you can create a OSS message with SAP Support. They will definitely provide you the solution

Windows vista and problem with association .swf files

I have win vista 32bit. Downloaded and install adobe flash player from adobe site. I have some file with .swf extension but can not get to work with adobe flash player 10.1r52. Ii can asociated ths type of file with adobe flash player. Where is the adobe flash player after installation_in which folder? Confused. Help.

Hi, The Flash files are at C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
Also, if you used IE to Install Flash Player, then in Tools, Manage add ons you also need the Shockwave Flash Object,
the ActiveX Control and it must be Enabled. This is Installed when Flash Player is Installed.
If you are using Firefox or another non-IE browser, then in the plugins, there will be a SWF (version number of Flash Player) and it must be Enabled.
Hope this helps,

How can I get autoplay to work again? ipod touch 5th gen, ios7.1.1, windows vista and 7

I've had this ipod for almost a year now and a few months ago my autoplay suddenly stopped working on both my laptop and my desktop. Laptop runs Vista (and is where my ipod is synced) and the desktop is Windoes 7. Since it still syncs fine I've been ignoring the problem but now i've got too many photos and need to make room. I've tied uploading through the dropbox app but there's a LOT of photos so it takes too long and the app crashes often. Even when autoplay would sometimes not work, the ipod would still show up in My Computer. Now there's noting. My computer isn't even recognizing it as a device. Only iTunes still notices it. I've gone through the support FAQ already but none of it works/applies. My ipod recieves a charge and the "Do you wan't to trust this computer?" dalouge shows up when it's unlocked. It sees the competer at the least.
Deleting photos is NOT an option since they have no backup. This also means I'm trying to avoid reseting to factory settings UNLESS the backup of my ipod includes all my photos. I'm not sure if it does or not and there's thousands of photos at risk so I' not making that move unless I know for sure that they're safe.
I would really appreciate any advice anyone has.

Try on another computer. Just do not sync with that computer.

Apple Notes for Windows vista for syncing with iPod Touch?

Hey all,
I would like to be able to place Notes files on my iPod from my 'vista infected' computer. Is there a Apple Notes program that works with the vista virus that will enable me to use Notes on vista and Sync them into iPod? or is that a no-go scenario? (Perhaps the iPod Notes program is self contained and will not import/export except through emails).
I would be curious to know. I use my iPod mostly for PDA type work, and music secondary.

There are a number of apps that via wi-fi allow you to store and then open certain filetypes on the iPhone and Touch. Airshare, Files\Files Lite, DataCase and FileMagnet are a few I know of.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.
Hi I installed 1of 3 McAfee Internet Security protections on my HP laptop a few weeks ago with no issues. I Have a Dell XPS 420 desk top with Windows Vista operating
system, it’s never had any issues, until 2 nights ago I installed McAfee Internet Security (detected incompatible files and will remove) pc now only boots up to a black screen with a mouse cursor, it will show the windows logo and a hash symbol floating around
the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen.

Hi,
Please install the compatible version of McAfee Internet Security:

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 and the old computer had Windows Vista and was very slow. I need to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 3 and put it on the new computer. Is this possible and what do I need to do?

I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS. The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether. I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer. Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it? I have the serial number
and all that with the software.

Home Sharing Between Mac and PC with Windows Vista and Wireless Ethernet

Hello.
I want to ask if anyone knows what is the problem.
I have Home Sharing Activated in my two computers and File Sharing Activated too.
My MacBook Pro has iTunes 10 and Snow Leopard all updated and my PC has Windows Vista and iTunes 10.
My MacBook Pro is connected to my network wirelessly and my PC is connected by the Ethernet Cable.
Anyone can help?

since you don't describe the problem in detail, see if something here helps:
what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.
in order for home sharing to work
(a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
(b) all machines must be on the same network
(c) all machines must have access to the internet.
if none of the above makes a difference, try turning home sharing off on all computers, then turning it back on.
these reads will be useful: one and two.

I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini conected.

I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini connected. What should I do?
My Mini will not boot up. I tried holding both buttons down. I got a "connect to itunes" message. I connected. and nothing happens.

Hello there Chess-ster,
If I understand correctly your iPad mini is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows Vista PC. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Start with these steps and work your way down as needed:
Restart
Turn off your computer and your iOS device, then turn them on again.
Update your computer
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

How to Block Themes, Wallpapers and other Display Customizations (DPI, Scaling, Window Color and Appearance) with USMT 5.0?

I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.

USMT Custom XML the Free and Easy Way

I generated a config.xml called nothemeuiconfig.xml and changed this:
<component displayname="Microsoft-Windows-themeui" migrate="yes" ID="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/cmi/microsoft-windows-themeui/microsoft-windows-themeui/settings"/>
To this:
<component displayname="Microsoft-Windows-themeui" migrate="no" ID="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/cmi/microsoft-windows-themeui/microsoft-windows-themeui/settings"/>
But themes, wallpapers - everything - still come over.
Opened a case with Microsoft, sent them:
the XML's I'm using
the command I used to generate the config.xml
the command I used for scanstate
the log files generated by scanstate
the command I used for loadstate
the log files generated by loadstate
Summary result of the MS case:
After much review & scrutiny, the command line and XML files are syntactically correct and rules are sound.
The articles I referenced in the ticket are indeed old and speak of an older version of USMT, so I can accept the possibility that something may have changed between USMT versions that render those suggested rules & instructions invalid.
Despite using
unconditionalExclude to unconditionally globally exclude objects, something else is trumping that rule, and there’s no way around that.
Even using
MigXmlHelper.DestinationPrioity() won’t help us here because, like above, something else trumps that rule, and there’s no way around that.
The last proposed suggestion is to disable the shmig component, which may or may not break or otherwise adversely affect the backup/restore of other things. (This may be too difficult to detect easily or in initial testing and the uncertainty doesn’t
give us confidence problems won’t arise as a result of this change. Also,
Ned Pyle's post post says NOT to, but then again that's an old post.)
Is this no longer possible or am I'm just doing it wrong?

Thanks for the reply

I saw your responses on Friday & Saturday, but didn't reply because I wanted to think this over a bit and try to get a second opinion.
The 'Appearance and Display' component looks to have a has a number of sub-components.

</component>
</component>
If I'm understanding the XML correctly, setting 'Appearance and Display' to 'no' will not bring over any of the sub components:
Windows Games Settings: Microsoft-Windows-GameExplorer
Tarkbar & Start Menu: Microsoft-Windows-stobject
Tarkbar & Start Menu: Microsoft-Windows-explorer
Personalized Settings: Microsoft-Windows-uxtheme
Personalized Settings: Microsoft-Windows-themeui
Personalized Settings: Microsoft-Windows-shmig
Personalized Settings: Microsoft-Windows-shell32
Personalized Settings: Microsoft-Windows-CommandPrompt
If so, that, to me at least, represents a pretty significant change! We want the pinned items but not the backgrounds and themes so that specific change won't work for us, but glad to hear it meets your needs. (Also greatly appreciate your sharing
your results with us.)
I'll admit, even before reaching out to MS, the logs clearly show that the themes/backgrounds are all part of the 'Microsoft-Windows-shmig' component but dang it if I want something of substance (read: official documentation) that covers what exactly that
component handles. (I like to know what I'm potentially getting myself into.)
