Windows Vista Problems (Possibly not the Operating System)

Running Release version of Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell XPS 410 Desktop System. Running the newest version of iTunes 7.0.2 and i am having a problem when playing a song parts of the song will be garbled up and distorted. I have tried all the volume controls and this does not help. It doesnt matter what song, type of song, etc that i play it just seems to happen where the song will be playing and during the play parts of the song, not the same parts but different parts, will sound distorted.
Please advise on anything i can try and get rid of this problem. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.

apple says don't upgrade to vista because itunes doesn't work well with it yet.
If that ain't the tail trying to wag the dog i've never seen it.
Note to apple: as popular as your ipod is you don't carry that kind of weight.
You had plenty of time to get your house in order for vista. Times up. We ain't waiting

Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

You can't run Windows on your Macbook Air without having Mac OS X installed with Boot Camp. So it should be an option to select the Mac OS X partition at startup when holding down the option key. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4818

You don't need to start a new thread - you just use the 'Reply' button at bottom right of the answering post. Anyway as you're here...
You should start by going to System Preferences (or is it called Settings in ML?)>iCloud and clicking the Sign Out button. Then sign back in again. Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you do this (but not from the server) - it will reappear when you sign back in. Alternatively if the message identifies an account which is signed in at System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars you should log out and in there.

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. Depending on how many user helpers are on-line, it may take several hours, or longer, to get a response.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Leave the choice of the operating system to the consumer (Windows, Linux, no OS-)

I recently bought a new Acer laptop. I stopped using Microsoft Windows more than 10 years ago (I am a happy Ubuntu Linux user). However, when I bought my laptop, I was forced to buy it with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. I told the salesman I didn't need Windows 8.1 and even if it was pre-installed, the first thing I would do would be to format the hard drive and put Ubuntu Linux on it. In the end, I still had to buy it (and therefore buy a Microsoft product I will never use). I think it would be very beneficial for customers if they could choose the Operating System of their choice (or no OS at all) when buying a new computer. Of course you could still tell that the computer has been only tested and validated with a given version of an Operating System and that there will not be any technical assistance if another OS is used on a given computer. For information, in many countries in Europe, it's illegal to force people to get something when they buy something else. This is unfortunately still what is happening in 2014 in the laptop/desktop World because of Microsoft monopoly.

ML2014: I too would like to consider implementing UBUNTU on an old Acer portable with an AMD processor and a 60GB built in drive that has a known maximum address space of 2gb. It is currently using the Windows XP operating system it came with but in March 2014 Microsoft plans to discvoninue all support. Hopefully they will not take down the text archives on the corporte web, but I would not put it past them to perpetrate that crime. I'm a retired once certified Microsoft Professional that still has an identity on the web set up some years ago. (I forget how many) but Putting UBUNTU on an older portable like the one I have seems like a sensible option when compared to keeping it in a maintenance limbo. I sprang for a new LI-Ion battery for it last year and it is stable as a rock right now, but not used very much and I would like to put it in the hands of an Open Source based Non Profit I work with once it is properly set up and configured so that their one-year VISTA folks can have yet another computer to use in the field. It connects to the local urban free wireless internet and the password protected wifi server in the offices under Windows XP and I do not have a clue about UBUNTU, it would be a learning project for me. Have you come to a decision regarding UBUNTU for your portable. Mine is an ACER 5000.

HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

Office 2013 ODT The operating system is not presently configured to run this application

hi!
We have RDS 2012 R2 setup up and running with session host, connection broker, rd gateway and rd web. AS office 2013 can be deployed using APP-V 5 SP2, we have created .appv pkg using ODT as mentioned in this
guide . It was working fine for 2 days and then suddenly we started to get error popup window saying
"The operating system is not presently configured to run this application" . We are receiving this error on Session host server(win 2k12 r2) which is App-V 5 sp2 client, when we try to open any office 2013 app.
And If check on App-v server which is also a publishing server. In event viewer i see this log entry.
Log Name:      Microsoft-AppV-Server-Publishing/Admin
Source:        Microsoft-AppV-Server-Publishing
Event ID:      215
Level:         Error
Description:
The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS.

    <Channel>Microsoft-AppV-Server-Publishing/Admin</Channel>
</Event>
SaM

We have the same issue. All other applications seem to work fine.
App-V 5.0 SP1 with hotfix package 2 installed on the App-V Management/Publishing server. We only use Windows Server 2012 RDS instead of R2. On the RDS servers, App-V 5.0 SP2 is installed. We use User Profile Disks and also used the ODT for Office
2013.
I our case it worked for a few hours. We didn't change anything (no updates of other things) other than having a few users try to login with different accounts to test the application. Reinstalling the client doesn't work and we also tried to removed
all AppVClientPackages and then clear the cache from locations like:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS
C:\ProgramData\App-V
I'll post a solution if I find one.
