Vista and iTunes - iPhone 3G

Sully · 10-14-2007, 05:37 PM

I've got two potential issues with my Vista machine and iTunes. First, iTunes is unbearably slow to open. I don't have this issue with other software.

My second issue is that when I've got my video library open in iTunes, I'll see the blue screen of death and the machine will reboot maybe about 30% of the time.

Anybody else experiencing this issue and/or have a solution?

Sounds like the typical Logitech Web cam drivers issue. Go to Logitech web site, dowload the latest drivers, reboot PC and you should be fine after that.

Well, I tried taking that one further since I don't have a webcam. I looked for any Logitech software, but I have none. So I'm still unsure of what may be causing my issue.

There has always been a few seconds delay in iTunes opening for me, its fine once loaded. I'm running xp.

yea itunes has always loaded slowly for me. that might just be your computer specs though. as for the other issue. idk, it happened to me once cuz i wasn't updating vista regualarly and i didn't have the right drivers or something like that.

I have vista ultra with 2gigs of ram and I never seen blue and itunes opens fast. I timed it and it opens in 4 sc. I have a dell xps I know that vista is ram hungry

i too have vista and have had NO BSOD. Also, no problems with iTunes opening. What is the BSOD error you get when it happens?

I don't remember the error and fortunately I haven't seen it in quite a while. With any luck, things stay stable.

Vista here on a new PC and iTunes is slow as molasses when doing any type of processing - syncing, importing into the Library, etc. Almost to the point of unusability.

Vista Ultimate on my laptop... no errors at all opening iTunes. It isn't the fastest app to load, but also not the slowest.
