Windows Vista Closing iTunes Program

I was listening to a podcast and the iTunes progam shut down. I was tinkering with options or something regarding the podcast at the time the shut down occurred. It asked if I wanted iTunes as my default media player and I said no.
When the program stopped. A message box from Windows popped up saying: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program." Then another box pops up saying an updated version of iTunes is available to fix the problem. I've downloaded it several times. Cleared off the old program, even tried restoring Windows to an earlier version. Nothing is working and I'm jonesing for my iTunes darnit! Please help me.

Do you have any iTunes utility programs that might use the scripting interface?

When installing itunes on PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons.

When installing itunes of my PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons. How can I install it so it doesn't do that? Thanks!

You can force Vista to rebuild the desktop icons by changing your monitor's color depth momentarily. In the display properties, change to 16-bit color. Then change back to 32-bit.

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?

The article says that I should upgrade to the latest iTunes. I am on the latest iTunes version.
If you could read just a tiny little bit further, under the "Additional Information" section immediately after that, it says:
If you are still experiencing this issue when syncing, or have not installed Xcode 4 and get this alert:
Follow the troubleshooting steps in Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: Resetting the SyncServices folder.
If the issue is still unresolved, follow steps in Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing.
Have you tried those measures?

How to close video window without closing iTunes?

I usually watch video podcasts on iTunes rather than on my iPod. But when the video finishes, how do I close that window without closing iTunes?

Oops. I just discovered the little white circle with the x in it, that appears in the upper right corner of the video window when the cursor is moved inside the window.

Windows Vista Home + iTunes = no DVD drives

I am a long time iTunes user, and have been having an issue with iTunes for the last little while. When I install iTunes (I'm on Windows Vista 32 bit, by the way), after the required restart, my DVD drives' icons disappear (I have 2 of them). I can see the DVD drives in the Device Manager, and they say they cannot start. The only I think I've had these problems since about iTunes 7.0, but I don't burn CDs that often, so I've really not felt too bad about it, except that my wife would like to do so. I've done the registry change where you remove the upper and lower filters, which corrects the drive issue, but then presents the seemingly inevitable Registry issue dialog box, without the option to burn CDs. Here are the steps I've done thus far to try to get my computer and iTunes to play nicely:
1. Tried reenabling the UpperFilter for GearAspiWDM as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305422
2. Tried downloading new GEAR drivers from their website.
3. Tried uninstalling Quicktime, and then installing it separately.
4. Uninstalled my other music service software (SonicStage), and then reinstalling iTunes.
5. Completely uninstalled iTunes, and then reinstalled it (a couple of iTunes versions ago).
6. Tried uninstalling the non-functioning DVD drives in the device manager, and then scanning for hardware changes. When the UpperFilter was still present, this part failed. It passed after I removed the UpperFilter registry entry.
Please help!

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.

Upgrading to Windows vista means itunes wont detect my ipod?? Help please.

Recently upgraded to windows Vista. Big whopdeedo.
But anyway, when I plug my ipod in, windows tries to update drivers for it, but of course failas horribly.
However, this is having a knock on effect that means itunes wont detect my ipod. So, while my ipod recharges, I cannot sync it. Thus I can't add new songs and what-not.
Please help.

Yes my ipod is jailbroken, but this has never proved an issue before.
Its not just itunes that now wont recognise my ipod, my other software wont either, and they used to work with the jailbroken ipod.
This all started after i synced a nano, then connected my ipod and a screen came up saying ipod camera connected.
I click on the camera icon in mycomputer and properties tab then selected take no action in the events tab.
This hasnt resolved my issue, and the ipod still comes up as a camera in mycomputer, the only difference being im now not prompted to choose a program to view my photos with.
This is really getting up my nose, as for the second poster, sorry that article was no help at all.
Please someone help me

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?

Windows Vista configures ITunes everytime I launch it.... Help :-)

So.....
Everytime I launch ITunes, Windows Vista configues it and reinstalls files....
I have checked the support pages and deleted a file as mentioned there, but it didn´t help the problem.
What can i do to sort this issue? Everytime I want to launch ITunes I need to spend 10 minutes waiting for Vista to configure and install.
Please help

The "Program Files (x86)" is only installed for 64-bit systems.
If you have a 32-bit system, open "My Computer" and check the folders on your "C" drive for "Program Files" (No "(x86)" in the file name.)
Once you find the iTunes application file, right-click on it and select the "Send To" option. From the drop-down menu, choose "Desktop" to create a shortcut on your desk top. (Make sure that you have deleted any old shortcuts before doing this.)
This will get iTunes to launch quickly, but there are still functions that do not work properly - file associations seems to be one.

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.
