b,

Why don't you make an FAQ of that? Looks good!

btabz

Sure, if I see anything I'll just reply here 🙂

Just so you know, I have an FAQ on the McAfee thing, but if yours come out, then I'll delete mine 🙂

About McAfee, I tried to download that onto my computer as my ISP gave it to me for free, but my computer freaked out and stopped working. If people know how to set that one up you should just be able to deactivate it fairly easily 🙂

See ya,
btabz

Okay.

here you go, it's nothing major, but basically what we usually post when it comes up...

I haven't seen it happen to anyone without one of those service running. If something else with that does come up and you find another solution could you just put a reply there? I'll give it a week before I say the tip's complete 🙂

Thanks a bunch!

About McAfee Privacy Service, it seems to have an unpredictable behaviour, but it's always about to block something: I downloaded fine the 4.9 iTunes Version, and the screen I captured myself WITH the button was accessed with Privacy Service running. What happened however with the 6.? version (from Internet Security 6.0) was a complete blocking of the podcasts and I could access only randomly to iTMS. With the new version of McAffee Privacy service (7.1) I can access and download anything from iTMS, except podcasts from time to time who answer that the server seems not to exist (I don't remember the exact error message point by point, but it's the meaning). If I think to disable it prior to download the podcasts, all happens without any error message or ⚠ marked file. And these errors are rare, I had none since the last Windows update (doesn't mean it's related, however).
Don't know if it can help to understand what happens, but I noticed that regular "error on page" of iexplorer.exe when I had the 6.? version disappeared. With this version, I had also to disable it to download a ZIP file otherwise it came corrupted to my computer, not yet tried with the 7.1 version.

Thanks.

So basically when it would happen IE would show the error sign on the bottom of the page?

btabz

Yes, it did, and that was script errors who disappeared when I refreshed the page. Another detail, when it did happen, I indeed was unable to click on any link if I hadn't refreshed, it's like that I learnt quickly the short cut F5 😉
To disable Privacy Service for this IE matter didn't help, and the un installment improved the display, but I did want to remove advertises and I re installed not to see "dates with real women near your town" anymore!
I suspected that it had something to see with the inability to download protected WMA licenses (appeared suddenly out of any update/configuration or so), but having found some Swedish & Finnish pop bands in iTMS, i didn't try to come back to my previous store and kept iTMS as only download source.

Oh sorry, I forgot, in the case it can help.

When I tried to understand what it could be, that was just a lot of charabia, but it always said me something like "...ne gère pas cet objet" (something, I don't recall what, "don't manage this object", literally).
I disabled the debug, obviously helpless for me, I however had the feeling that it tried to fix the problem to the web page rather than on the computer. Don't know once more if it's related or give clues to understand the problem, but as I don't reproduce it anyways (good thing for me), I cannot give more informations that what I recall from several months ago.

b, just thought you might be interested in knowing that I've run both NIS 2004 & upgraded to NIS 2005 back in June, & have never, ever had a problem with iTunes or iTMS at all.
