Windows Vista ULT and Quicktime problem
I apologize if this has been posted already, I did a search and found nothing so here goes...
I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and wanted to get iTunes and Quicktime running as soon as I could. I installed the latest version found on apple's website but every time I try to start Quicktime up, it does absolutely nothing at all. I try to click on a quicktime file and it does nothing as well. Even stranger, I try to uninstall quicktime and it hangs for a sec and then pretends I never asked it to do anything.
iTunes crashes every time I try to run it but it WILL uninstall.
Anyone know a fix to any of this?

Right, I read that article and did what they asked, but it didn't work and doesn't address the problem I have now.
According to the info Apple provided on that article, it implies that iTunes and Quicktime will work with Vista. I can wait for an update if thats the case, I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

I just recently did an itunes update on my Windows Vista 64 and have been getting a runtime C++ R0634 error ever since. Per microsoft forum discussions, I have removed everything apple on my computer to get this runtime error to stop. When I tried to remove and reinstall itunes, I get an error message during installation and to try again. Has just become a cycle. Apple, are you working on this?
I have exactly the same problem. Got update notice from Apple for iTunes and getting the C++ runtime error R0634 ever since. I have no clue how to fix it....meantime, I can't even pull up Outlook to check email. HELP!!

Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears
I just updated my Bootcamp to 2.1, I thought it would solve my problem
"Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears" but I still have this problem, I cannot right-click on my windows vista at all.
though, right-click on the notification area works.
right-click = pressing the trackpad with 2 fingers.Now I have figured out I have to use 3 fingers instead of 2 fingers.
but in the BootCamp Control Panel there is an option that says
* Use 2 fingers for right-click -
Have got a Windows Vista basic and had run a a trial version of LR4 on it - just purchased an LR5 without checking out the complete system requirements. Can I get a complete download of LR4 so that the money I've spent is not wasted. I am not interested in upgrading to Windows 7 currently.
There are still retail packs of LR 4 to be found out there - for example, on EBay. It's just important to be careful whether it's a full version, an upgrade, or a student + teacher version. And to be certain it's genuine, and has a serial number which has never been activated before. The serial number that you get with that, should work with any 4.x version of LR, on either MacOS or Windows. And it will almost certainly be heavily discounted compared with the previous price direct from Adobe.
Of course the other way is to upgrade to Windows 7 SP1, which should also be available discounted, and thus eke out the life of an older PC (I personally would not go to Win8 in such a case). Maybe pick up some RAM also, if that's a problem, provided you can do so cheaply (since that will be simply thrown away in due course, when you get a newer PC),
Using LR4 instead of LR5 you do miss out on a few nice features, as well as potentially the Raw support and lens profiles for more recent camera equipment.
LR 4 is obsolete as far as Adobe is concerned. They will not sell a Serial Number for it. -
I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.
Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

My Classic IPod had been working perfectly with Windows Vista OS and on a dock. I left it unattended for 10 days, recharged it and tried to play music on the dock. All that shows on the screen is the Apple Logo and I am unable to restart or update the IPod. Any ideas???

I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes v 10.6 on a windows vista pc and keep getting the error, "Invalid Drive/E". What do I do to get past this?
Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK.
Type in SUBST E: C:\<enter>
This will map E: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter SUBST E: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again.
(If upgrading software which lets you choose a location, install the software in the default location, not on the E:\ drive.)

Windows Vista Ultimate and Oh Crap!
Hello All,
This post is a bit of a question and a bit of advice. I am a System's Analyst / Network Engineer. I have a lot of experience with computers, Windows, and Mac OS. Eight days ago I started working with a client on a brand new PC with ALL the bells and whistles. The PC is an HP Pavilion running Windows Vista Ultimate, RAID 1 (Mirror), Removable Media Drive, Great Sound via X-Fi, Great Video via Nvidia PCI-X, and SATA (Obviously since it's running a RAID array).
I got everything setup and running great and as the last step installed iTunes and Quicktime. My client has a few thousand songs, a ton of TV shows, and a whole mess of movies ALL purchased thru iTunes store. Nothing is pirated, stolen, or illegal on this computer. Now, here's where it gets good.
I did the import in a few stages to make the data transfer a little faster. I did music, then TV, then movies. I tested a song and it worked great. I went to play a TV show and the computer slowed to a halt. I let it go like this until activity started on the machine again. It took about 5 minutes and then iTunes crashed. A second later the computer blue-screened and rebooted.
As soon as the reboot occured the RAID array came up in a failed state. I had to rebuild the array and get back into Windows. I tried again with the TV show, had the same result, tried again with a movie, and again had the same result. I called HP and they told me to fresh install the OS so I did. Again, same result.
This has been going on now for a few days with several different tests and several array rebuilds and OS installs. I would have had HP replace the computer or the motherboard but NOTHING else on the entire PC was causing this problem and diagnostics showed no hardware issues. There is/was no reason to suspect faulty hardware or software other than iTunes and/or Quicktime.
Today I ran the final tests and a fresh rebuild. I found some documentation stating that iTunes had some compatibility issues with Vista and decided to try some other videos that I could run in Media Center. They worked flawlessly. I'm left thinking that these problems are specifically iTunes / Quicktime and will move forward accordingly. Apple has stated that they are working with Microsoft to develop a new version of iTunes that is fully compatible with Vista and I have chosen to wait until that version comes out before installing it again.
My question is if any of you have experienced issues like this? If you have, do you have any advice or things you did to make it work? Please comment here as I will be watching this post to see your responses.
My advice is to be very cautious when installing iTunes in Vista, especially with this sort of configuration. I've seen iTunes work fine in Vista before but this is the first time I've worked with a configuration like this. Please be aware of the potential problems. As I've stated earlier, everything else is working perfectly.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. Have a great day!
HP PavilionCTO D4790Y Other OS Windows Vista Ultimate, 4 gigs of RAM, 256 Meg GeForce 7500LE PCI-X, RAID 1 SATA with 250 gigsThank you for the great responses, guys! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get.
Rain-Man, your post is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. This computer is also running WD drives. I had a feeling that WD might have been some of the issue but it only happened on the SATA RAID config. The computer I set up right behind this PC (on another desk) is EXACTLY the same but does not have a RAID 1 setup and runs perfectly with iTunes.
Also, there is a Hauppauge TV tuner running in this PC and, in retrospect, I think may be conflicting with codecs. God forbid you would have multiple codecs installed on one PC....
I'm not going to sit here and bash WD or Hauppauge, but I'm not a big fan of either of these devices. One of the other things that bothers me is that the RAID is controlled by "Intel Matrix" which is the default software RAID controller in this HP product. There isn't any real control in the management console. All you can do is rebuild a failed array or view an existing configuration. That doesn't really say, "AWESOME" to me. Being an HP product I'm assuming this is pretty standard because it was the default software controller installed on this system.
Any way you look at it, I really appreciate the posts here. I agree that there is an issue that Apple needs to address. WD or not, the fact that people are having problems getting iTunes to work in Vista needs to be resolved. We pay for our music and our shows and our movies and deserve to have them working and not getting deleted, corrupted, or damaged when we try to play them or transfer them. I love the fact that Apple is incorporating new technology into their products but we pay for that technology and it should work.
If I hadn't backed up my client's iTunes folder I would have lost everything he paid for. He's a pretty cool guy but how would you feel if you lost a couple grand worth of music, TV, and movies? I would be pretty upset.
In the end, I think RAID or drive configuration on this PC is one of the major issues. It's something to do with the SATA controller and Vista combined with iTunes / Quicktime. I'm not exactly sure how that could be but I believe it's something Apple / Microsoft needs to investigate...
Please keep the posts coming as I will be checking here regularily for updates. Thanks for your input and I hope we're able to resolve this issue soon.

I have tried installing both iTunes 10.4.1 and iTunes 10.3.1 for 64-bit Windows Vista. They both install well, but my Windows Explorer crashes as soon as I open either of them. I have to 'hit the emergency brakes' and hold down the power button on my laptop to stop the meltdown. After reading other people's threads, I realized that the problem is QuickTime 7. I still need to find out, however, if there is a 64-bit Vista version of iTunes with QuickTime 6 or lower that can still be downloaded from the Apple website. I really like iTunes, and I have done without for about two years now. Please help!!!
6.2 isn't supported with the Clie. If the data is being lost inbetween syncs then here are a few tips to prevent data loss.
Never turn the computer off while Palm Desktop is running.
Don't leave the Palm Desktop open when it's not in use
Make sure that the Palm Desktop is closed with any security applications are running scans.

Yesterday (23rd March) my computer appeared to perform an auto update of windows vista and since then every time time use firefox it crashes shortly after entering a web portal (after about 1-5 seconds). It even crashes on the BBC news page which I always use to check stability. I have been using Firefox for years and it has just started doing this. However, I examined the programme files and actaully cannot see a windows vista update for yesterday, but I can see that there was a Firefox update, so now I'm a bit confused. Looking at the program files in more details it appears that there was a very major update of Firefox taking place including lots of file extensions. You should also know that your password recovery process doesn't work. I never got the email that is supposed to help me recover a lost password. I am really disappointed with Firefox doing this. It's costing me time and money. Can you help before I give up and go back to using Windows explorer (ugh!). I have thought of simply removing Firefox and starting again with a new download but that might not solve the probelm and I will lose my bookmarks.
I have an update to my message posted yesterday regarding Firefox crash after vista update. Today it got worse when Firefox wouldn't open at all and Windows explorer also stopped working. Curiously, email was still working, and when I checked another (little used) account on the same PC, I got a perfect connection with Firefox and Explorer. I had to conclude that the latest updates of Vista have interacted with some application only found in my main account on the PC. I tried opening Firefox in its safe mode and I tried opening explorer without Plug ins, but neither worked. Finally I decided the only answer was to do a system restore and wind back the windows software to where it was before the problem. I now have Firefox and explorer restored to working order, but I still don't understand why, because I got a message saying the system restore hasn't worked. Full Comprehension of the cause is beyond my capability, but through trial and error as described above I seem to have fixed it. The suspect vista updates are KB2505189 , and KB2524375.

Upgraded to Windows Vista computer and now my ipod won't show videos/pics
I recently bought a new computer. Around the same time my ipod broke and I got a brand new one. Everything works on it except the videos and I can't sync any pics. The videos will show up in my recently added list, with the little tv pic but if click on it, I only get audio. The same thing happens under the recently added in my video playlist. However none of the videos, podcasts, or movies show up under their respective menus. All software is up to date, and all of the equipmnt is new. I'm at a loss. Please help.

or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit key number
Hello
XP has been installed from a disk partition (D)
My notebook has been upgraded from XP to Vista 32 bit with the CD I got from the pakage.
In the buttom the is a stamp with the key number.
I have CDs both with Vista 32 and Vista 64
1. Is the key number the same to the 32 and to the 64 bit
2. I would like to format the C drive.
3. Can I install Vista 64, from the CD?
Thank you for your help
This question was solved.
View Solution.No worries. Yes, you can perform an install of Vista with the DVDs that you have. You can reformat the hard disk as part of the installation.
Before you begin, go into the Device Manager to see which wireless adapter, graphics adapter and lan adapter is installed and write it down. Doing that will save you some time.
You will need the following DVDs from what you have stated the notebook was delivered with..
Operating System DVD Windows Vista Business SP1 (64-it)
Application and Driver Recovery DVD 32-bit & 64-bit for Windows Vista
Write down the twenty five character license activation key before you begin. Enter it when requested to by the Windows installation script. After the installation is complete use the driver disk to install the drivers. If HP Support Assistant is available on the driver and application disk, install that also.

Hi,
which possibilities i have to create a VPN Tunnel between a ASA5520 and Windows Vista Enterprise x64?
Is possible to use the Windows integrated "Firewall and advanced security"? There it seems to be the possibility to create a IPSEC-Tunnel. The only problem is that i don't know how.
regards
ErwinThe interated Firewall in Vista doen not give the flexibility in configuring the IPsec tunnel, I doubt if that would work with ASA. However there are other third party tools that can be used for this purpose even cisco has a tool for VPN conection to vista but certain issues are still to be removed. Otherwise you can use tools to stimulate WinXP and can have your old VPN client to work.
