I’m trying to uninstall something, but my Vista computer says the administrator has set policies to stop it. Ahem I am the administrator!
How do I get around this? I heard I can fix it via the Local Security Policy settings, but I can’t seem to find that on my computer.
Have you tried right clicking the uninstall file and selecting run as administrator.
I know you are admin, but sometimes programs just want you to confirm it.
There isn’t any option like that in the Uninstall or Change a Program menu.
I mean, all I want to do is uninstall the Apple shit on my computer, so I can fully install the latest version of iTunes without a problem. It’s not like I’m trying to delete my System 32 folder.:hmph:
Log in as a real “Administrator”
name : Administrator
pass : whatever you typed in when you were installing.
Or just try to set privileges for the file in the properties.

And doesn’t iTunes automatically replace the older version?
Most of the time it does. But sometimes, an older version of an Apple Update, especially if it is damaged, will actually conflict with a newer installation.
That didn’t work for me. However, I DID find the User Account Settings. I turned that off, and now I have no problems.
You can use winamp to copy music to/from your ipod without the iFail.
are the user account settings in control panel?
That’s why I can’t wait for Windows 7…
Vista fails.
Here’s another iTunes problem…I can’t move games from iTunes to my iPod. It keeps asking me to authorize my computer, which I have. I’m able to move my songs over, but games will not. Even after I authorize the individual game, it still says this computer is already authorized.
User settings.
Control Panel->User Accounts->‘Turn User Account Control on or off’
You may have heard that Windows 7 fixes UAC, but the only settings are:
Hardcore Mode: ask about everything (same as vista)
Medium Mode: ask about most stuff, like installations, and changing system files.
Medium Mode Lite: Same as medium, but doesn’t darken the screen to save system resources.
None.
Whereas vista just has an on/off button.
