Windows Vista + nVidia i680 MB + RAID5 + iTunes 7.3.2 = RAID array trouble

Dunno if any of you can help out with this but I'm at witt's end over this issue.
I have a Windows Vista box running an Abit In9-32MAX motherboard (nVidia i680 chipset), four drives in a RAID 5 array and using iTunes 7.3.2
Drivers for the motherboard are the most recent ones from the nVidia site. BIOS for motherboard is also current.
Practically ANY time I import any audio or video file over 50 MB into iTunes the entire RAID array will degrade. I'm also having issues transcoding video into Quicktime using Videora which seems to be related to this issue. The video simply refuses to play.
For what it's worth the video/audio content is legit. I own the DVD's that I'm transcoding so I can watch them when I travel.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc appreciated. I'd love to go a whole week without iTunes/Quicktime forcing me to rebuild the RAID array.

Well, whatever Itunes/quicktime does, it's definitely causing some sort of RAID compatibility. I've had this problem since I got my new rig a month ago. Nvidia 680i SLI board with a RAID 1, and I have it working fine (I've done 3 system restores now) and then I install itunes, and kablooie, there goes the RAID. I can also tell you that even if you disable the mediashield program (NVRAID.exe), it will still happen (this was my last experiment in trying to make it work) and the raid will show up degraded in the BIOS.
Basically, Apple and Nvidia need to exchange a freaking phone call and try and figure out what is causing it to go bad. from reading around, it's not just apple (though they are the biggest culprit). I've seen people mention bittorrent and some other program whose name escapes me at the moment cause this as well (digital imaging program I think).

  • Hi, my Ipod Schuffle (4 gen) dissapears from windows vista right after I execute Itunes, I've change the drive letter, erase temps in App data file, verified USB drivers, etc... Can someone guide on how to solve this?

    If you want the shuffle to be always visible in Windows (outside of iTunes), you need to Enable disk use.
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, select the Summary tab.  You should see a checkbox that says Enable disk use.  Check it and click Apply.
    NOTE:  If disk use is enabled, you have to Eject the shuffle in iTunes, BEFORE you physically disconnect it.  If disk use is NOT enabled, you can disconnect the shuffle at any time, as long as iTunes is not doing something with it at that moment (such as syncing); the shuffle's light will then be blinking (to indicate DO NOT DISCONNECT).
    So, unless you want to use the shuffle like a USB flash drive (carry random files on it), you may want to NOT Enable disk use.

  • Does anybody know to authorize a windows vista computer with the new itunes?

    does anybody know to authorize a windows vista computer with the new itunes?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Bought a new computer w/ Windows Vista.  Can't load iTunes

    I just bought a new Dell XPS w/ Windows Vista. I cannot load iTunes. I've deleted and reinstalled several times, but each time, when I try to open iTunes, it tells me that "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." Help?!

    While playing with the pre-release versions of Vista I had numerous iTunes problems though I could get it to run. Just not reliably. Since Vista was just released, and that just for businesses officially, we'll just have to wait for an update. Remember, Zune software doesn't work on Vista either.

  • Videos unwatchable under Windows Vista and current versions of iTunes/QT

    I know this has been brought up before, but all of the previous suggestions do not apply to my situation. Ever since upgrading to iTunes 7.2, no iTunes or QuickTime videos play properly. The audio generally works just fine, but the video is jumpy and extremely sporadic.
    I have two hard drives, one is SATA the other is PATA - doesn't matter which one the video file is on. I have tried all of the suggestions in the FAQ such as disabling Direct3D video acceleration and running in Safe Mode (GDI only), but no change in behavior.
    This appears to only be affecting newer video files, because I can still play my old Podcast videos without a problem (prior to the problematic iTunes release), but anything downloaded after that gives the video issues. I get the same thing with videos like the new iPhone demo video as well.
    I am running Windows Vista Business (32 bit), with the following system specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 3700+
    2 GB RAM
    ATI X1950XTX w/ 512 MB
    160 GB PATA HDD (primary - apps and OS)
    200 GB SATA HDD (secondary - data)
    Anything useful would be greatly appreciated as this is becoming a very painful ordeal.

    No ReadyBoost in use here, unfortunately. I did find the following two items though:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305392
    Bottom of this page claims that NVidia is investigating some issue with their SATA drivers, however ...
    This is NVidia's reply indicating that there is no issue with their SATA drivers, and this has been reported back to Apple.
    Now, I did find that when I put one of my video podcast files on the PATA drive, it appeared to play ok, but when I tried to play the .mov iPhone video from the PATA drive, it still had the same video issues, which tells me it has nothing to do with PATA vs SATA.

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

    Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    Fault Module Name: icuuc40.dll
    Fault Module Version: 4.0.0.3207
    I've mostly seen that show up on XP systems to date.
    Some systems aren't liking the 4.0.0.3207 version of the dll that comes with Apple Application Support version 1.5. One workaround has been to swap out the dll for the version 4.0.0.3205 that came with Apple Application Support version 1.4.1.
    Ona Vista system, we might be able to find a shadow copy of the relevant version of the dll and revert to that.
    *If you have any version of Vista other than Home Premium:*
    In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    Open the "Program Files" folder.
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
    Right-click on the icuuc40.dll file and select "Properties".
    Go into the "Previous versions" tab. Wait for it to search for previous versions.
    Is there a version 4.0.0.3205 available? If so, revert to that. With the 4.0.0.3205 in place, can you launch itunes now?
    *If you have Vista Home Premium:*
    Although Vista Home Premium takes shadow copies of files, it doesn't include a user interface for accessing them. So we can't use the previous versions tab method to get access to them. However, you could use a utility like ShadowExplorer to look for a version 4.0.0.3205 of the dll and replace the dll using that.

  • My ipod classic ran out of battery, when I turned it back on all my songs were gone. How can I recover them on a windows vista computer? Also, the itunes on my vista does not have all my original songs. Please help

    My Ipod Classic died because it ran out of battery. Finally, today when I was able to plug it into my computer to
    charge it, all my music was gone. It did not show up on the Itunes nor was it present on my Ipod. Which freaked
    me out.  I dont know what to do because I do have Itunes but all the music I had on my Ipod was from my
    first computer, which I no longer have because it was stolen.  However, on my Itunes it says my Ipod
    has 14.27 GB used and 13.55 FREE. So I just want to know how to get my music back on to my Ipod
    and that it shows up in Itunes again. I have a Windows Vista so if anyone knows instructions it would
    be greatly appreciated!

  • Windows Vista not loading IPOD in itunes or explorer HELP!!!

    Family just purchased a new HP pavillion w/ vista. I, myself, have a mac - i am LOST! We installed the latest ITUNES and checked all the drivers and every other option suggested online. We just can't get the ipod to be recognized on vista. The ipod is updated to the current version everything seems in running order. The ipod is recognized on Windows XP just not vista.

  • My classic 80GB ipod wont turn on, wont restore, it says it may be corrupted and all it does is constantly beep when I attach to my laptop! Windows Vista, 32bit, new version of itunes, etc.. WHAT the ****!? What do I do!?

    My 80gb ipod classic is dead! It wont power on, it wont restore, it constantly beeps and shows the apple logo then my laptop says ipod in recovery mode, may have to restore. I read all the other problems and they are similar to mine but have not found anyone saying the screen does not power on except to show logo and do not disconnect. The annoying beeping sound stops after a while, then absolutely nothing! Is the battery removable, what do I do?

    I did that and then tried to log onto the Itunes again and a prompt came up and siad the Itunes file wasn't properly installed and it might be corrupted and I should retry it again. 
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • Windows Vista Aero theme - incompatible with iTunes?

    Whenever I boot up my laptop I get an error saying iTunes is stopping my Vista Aero theme from showing. When I go to task manager and end the ituneshelper.exe module process, the Aero theme is then accessible.
    I know the ituneshelper.exe is an important module to allow to run, but I really don't want it interfering with my Vista theme. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Help would be so much appreciated.

    OK I figured out the problem:
    I had installed Quicktime Alternative which screwed up iTunes since it requires the very newest version of Quicktime to be installed.
    Moral of this story: Don't install Quicktime Alternative

    I JUST PURCHASED THE IPADAIR, I AM TRYING TO BACKUP ALL MY STUFF FROM MY OLD IPAD5 TO THE CLOUD, THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT MY ITUNES WILL NOT OPEN TO SYNC.

    7.7 sounds more like a QuickTime version number than an iTunes version number.
    If you update to the most recent version of the QuickTime Player, does that clear up the message?
