A program that doesn't run on an alpha operating system. What a shocker.

The problem is that I have seen at least two different people on two different forums say it works fine. I am just trying to explore why its not running on my system. I dont expect things to work 100%, but I am sure you don't care. You just came in to post your clever quip instead of helping.

Ffs, posts like this don't help, gtfo. Before you call me a hippocrit; my post does help as it shows people that doing your sorts of posts are not needed -_-.

No worries MrGriggs. :)

Yeah I tried a fresh reinstall, and itunes does not work. I wonder why it wont work on my system, but works on others. I am pretty excited about windows 7 so far. It shows a lot of promise. The only thing I don't see is reduced ram use. Everybody saw this build running on an EEEPC and taking up ~500mb of ram at boot. My system uses almost 1gb at boot.

I keep having errors with Win7 and itunes. Soon as I installed itunes and tried to point it to my music directory (situated on another hard drive) it just froze. Now everytime I start it, a bubble in the notification bar pops up telling me that c:\*\*\*itunes is corrupt.

Just to update, I installed itunes 8.0.1.11 on my laptop running windows 7 32bit and the same thing happens. Itunes.exe is running but the window does not show up.

EDIT: Why does itunes hate me hahaha. I tried it on 2 computers and both 32 and 64. I guess maybe better luck in beta 1.

Ok randomly itunes started to work on my laptop running win7 32 and on my 64bit desktop. I don't get it. The machines were rebooted and updated multiple times and itunes still would not run properly and then all the sudden, boom worked on both machines. Then after opening and closing itunes a few times it stopped working again on my 64 bit machine. The plot thickens....

The thing is, well-coded software works on any OS. I can still run Office XP or 2003 (original RTM disks) very very well on 6801 x64...

Holy **** I found a solution! Jesus after getting itunes to work and then fail to work on my desktop I was at wits end. Suddenly I figured out the common factor that made itunes work on both computers; not having the install disk in the drive. I took the install disk out of the drive and itunes worked! I cannot believe how retarded the software is, but if anybody is having an issue with itunes in any of the windows 7 builds take the install cd out!

Thank you guys for all your help and I hope this thread helps others.

What install disk?

Agreed. It's Apple...

You know what, this is funny. Why would they work on making iTunes work for Windows 7, while the OS is still under major construction and can still change everything and revert back a lot of stuff or bring even more new things? You know what that would mean? For each beta, or for each alpha release, Apple would have to work on iTunes to optimize it to make it work.

Apple has no time to lose, they want to catch up with the competition and beat them on every aspect, so instead of working on their apps to work on pre-beta or beta stuff, they better wait for the final and do it once correctly. It shouldn't be so hard and long anyway, it's not like they had to make Photoshop work with Windows 7 or something.

Now I know there were a lot of reports back then with Vista, and I couldn't say why iTunes didn't work the first time when it shipped. It should have, and they deceived me on this one... especially because iTunes is no joke today, it's one big app that *needs* to work and you can't make any compromise. It needs to work on everything, except the betas and alphas.

The problem with this is that iTunes is botching up due to STUPID reasons. I logged the output of one of the component MSI's and it failed the whole install because it thought a button was in the wrong spot in the installer. A BUTTON! I'm sorry but that is just ridiculous.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
