Itunes For Win7

[Heberto Calderon]

Im running into a problem getting itunes installed on my win7 x64 machine. I followed the removal procedures for completely removing itunes and no luck. I even re-installed the OS and it is still failing to install. Here is what I'm seeing, first it gets stuck here;

Notice that the executable id called DIFxINST64.exe.. I am running this as an administrator. Could the antivirus be blocking this even though its disabled? I guess the next thing is to remove the antivirus software completely then...

Resolved; I dont know the cause for sure but I am pretty sure it was my anti-virus/firewall software causing issues. I re-installed the OS and before doing any other installations I installed iTunes and it worked.

i downloaded itunes to windows 7. im trying to restore an old iphone 7 that has the apple logo stuck. after doing research i held buttons down to restore while on itunes and it says cant restore unless itunes is on latest version. so i check for updates and says its on current version. the phone is like new, only used for a couple of months until apple logo got stuck, im trying to use it a temp phone until i can get current one repaired or purchase a new one. Has anyone else run into this issue or know how to resolve this? i can follow basic unstructions, but not computer savy.

Windows 7 and 8 are both limited to iTunes 12.10.10.2. You need iTunes 12.12.0.6 or better to work with iOS 15, which in turn requires Windows 10 or 11 to install. You may be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free.

there is also a website called techspot that says it has an itunes download for windows 7 tested in virustotal. -apple-itunes-for-windows.html#download_scroll Note- apparently the title on the techspot article is misleading re version, eg see harry's post about versions of itunes and version of windows.

US-CERT cited an April 14 blog post by Christopher Budd at Trend Micro, which runs a program called Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) that buys security vulnerabilities and helps researchers coordinate fixing the bugs with software vendors. Budd urged Windows users to junk Quicktime, citing two new, unpatched vulnerabilities that ZDI detailed which could be used to remotely compromise Windows computers.

While the recommendations from US-CERT and others apparently came as a surprise to many, Apple has been distancing itself from QuickTime on Windows for some time now. In 2013, the Cupertino, Calif. tech giant deprecated all developer APIs for Quicktime on Windows.

QuickTime 7.7.9 improves security and is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users on Windows. The QuickTime web browser plug-in is no longer installed by default and is removed if you have a previous version of QuickTime on your PC. If you still need this legacy plug-in, you can add it back using the custom setup option in the installer.

Important Notice to QuickTime 6 Pro Users

Installing QuickTime 7 or later will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 6. If you are a QuickTime 6 Pro user, see this article: before proceeding with this installation.

Too bad alot of DVRs require QuickTime to view live or recorded data via their web interface and most of the customers we have are too stupid to know to only use Internet Explorer for a single function.

I was working on my daughters machine over the weekend backing up her iPhone, iTunes wanted an update and the Apple Update Utility was still offering QuickTime on Windows as an installation option. Apple should really remove it from the update utility.

The term deprecated may also be used when a non-computer technical term becomes obsolete, either through change or superseding. Before being re-recognized as a unique genus, an example in paleontology was the (no longer) deprecated term Brontosaurus, the formerly popular name for the genus Apatosaurus. Examples from medicine include consumption (tuberculosis), grippe (influenza), and apoplexy (stroke).

One approach (really rough) is to search the CVE database directly [2]. Entries should point to the vendor report, give you the ability to figure out which versions were affected / fixed (and in what release), and a technical explanation of the flaw.

I am confused about this topic. I have all itunes loaded on my windows PC. Will my itunes still play if I remove quicktime? Or do I need to replace it with another program. Lastly, I converted all MPEG itunes files to ACC, advanced audio coding, will I need to convert back to MPEG files?

As other commenters have said, iTunes no longer depends on QuickTime in any way; also, there are plenty of other media players that support AAC, like iTunes, Windows Media Player, and security-conscious favorite VLC.

The bottom line with this is that it all becomes useless software that ends up creating problems. These machines are so much more powerful than that. Take control of your stuff or your stuff will take control of you.

My first experience with Apple Quicktime was at a military organization. They wanted it pushed to all computer systems (minus servers) so that they could utilize a feature where it would show a part of the movie in a link inserted into a website. I was like Really? Ever hear of a JPG photo made from a screen capture?

That year, there are about 6-7 updates. Ever since that debacle, if I see it on an image, I am quick to point out all my experiences with software of any type that is pretty much useless on a windows box.

Has the heap overflow issue with .MOV files, specifically the moov and index atoms, been tested with other players, editors, and frameworks? In other words, could an attacker use FFmpeg, Sorenson Squeeze, Telestream or another to create a malicious .MOV file that can leverage these vulnerabilities when played back in Windows Media Player, VLC, MPC-HC, GOM, Adobe, Avid, and every other piece of multimedia software out there?
