I tunes problems - a fix

[loamer]

Some Windows customers may experience installation issues while trying to install or open iTunes 11.1.4. (Mine has stopped working altogether)

Symptoms may include:

"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer"
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)
"Runtime Error: R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly"
"Entry point not found: videoTracks@QTMovie@@QBE?AV?$Vector@V?$RefPtr@VQTTrack@@@***@@$0A@VCrashOnOverf low@@***@@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\WebKit.dll


I am getting the first one.

here is a link to the fix, but it boils down that good old Apple iTunes on 11.1.4 needs admin rights.

I don't know what happened - iTunes was working a treat - then the new version - then nothing. Now a fix that requires them to have admin rights? Who do they think they are - Minelab!!??

its always the way with itunes they bring out a new update and your iphone/ipad/ipod is buggered till they fix the teething probs
that was actually the main reason i gave my iphone away wouldnt hold charge after a update, nothing wrong with battery etc just a software issue, they will continue to do it i would suggest steer clear lol but different strokes for different folks right?

lol, many application that if you would try and install under a standard user credentials within new windows OS would fail, due to the fact it needs administrative privelage to modify win registry etc...

are you using itunes for a music device ?

there are free aftermarket apps that let you do anything without all the clusterF mess that Itunes does

the grey beards on the forum will recall the Holden vs FORD mania we grew up with, now its moved onto phones

I've got the iPhone 5s, I briefly had a s2 galaxy simply for watching movies thru the Mico SD card on the plane heading to work, I'll be buggered if I could use it to its true potential, iPhones are as simple as anything, brilliant in my opinion! But it's like makita v dewalt. Ford v Holden.... Garrett v Minelab, personal preference is key and who can argue with that?
