iPhone / iTunes on Windows 2000


Recommended Posts

Has anyone successfully gotten the iPhone to function with iTunes on Windows 2000?

With BlackWingCat's blog help I was able to get iTunes 7.4 installed on Windows 2000 (the minimum version to support iPhone, which also requires XP or greater). I used Fcwinen.exe from KDW to do SpecialRewrite, which allowed QuickTime and iTunes to install.

However when I start iTunes, it says:

iTunes

Windows system components that iTunes requires are missing or corrupted.

iTunes might be unable to launch or communicate with iPod or iPhone. For help repairing your operating system, click More Information.

Then, iTunes does launch and when I connect the iPhone USB it says:

The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again.

In TaskMgr I see AppleMobileDevice.exe "Apple Mobile Device Service" is running, and iPodService.exe is also running. So why doesnt the iPhone work?

BlackWingCat's blog is in Japanese and has terrible Google Translation to English, so I can't follow it.

Can anyone give a straightforward guide to what needs to be done?

iPod Touch/iPhone Driver for Windows 2000(customized)[bM]

[bM]installation iTunes 10.1.1.14 in Windows 2000

I made iPhone Driver and release on my blog.

You can donwload it.

And I made iTunes 10.2 installer for Windows 2000.

(it requires sccbase.dll/sccsccb.dll)

It includes KDW Component, so you don't have to use KDW.

Blackwingcat, your amazing! :thumbup

I've been using windows 2k for 4 years on my Thinkpad T61 and it runs like a champ with no hiccups, super stable!

I gotten a iPhone 3GS from my boy friend and trying to use it under windows 2000. Gotten SP4 with all updates and proper hotfixes. So far I've gotten iTunes 10.3.1 installed, but ran into a few issues during the installment process... :(

I've used the itw2014 utility to allow itunes 10.3.1 to be installed. I've extracted iTunes 10.3.1 into the same directory as the it21k014 tool and ran the setupit command script. It ran and came across my first issue when installing the drivers:

"SetDllDirectoryW Could not be located in the dynamic link Library KERNEL32.dll"

Then it asks me if I want to retry to cancel installing the drivers, I just ignore it and then go onto installing apple updates:

"Module C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\ScriptingObjectModel.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024769 Contact your support personel"

Then when it goes onto installing iTunes itself I get another error message:

"Module C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147023782. Contact your support personel."

I ignore it once again, but come with a error message comes up reporting that I need XP SP2 or higher. =/

Well, iTunes opens up correctly and everything works perfectly, except for syncing up my iphone. Every time I have my iphone connected and open itunes says

"iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Serivces. Reconnect or try agian later"

Hopefully you know moreblackwingcat .

I really enjoy all your resources for Windows 2000 and allow further use of it with new products.

I released iTunes 10.4.x installer for Windows 2000 v0.20.

You may ignore any error, in the Installation.

I think your installation succeeded.

Did you install Q888609_v3 ?

If you don't install it. Apple mobile device service stays "starting" forever by setupapi.dll's bug.

Hi blackwingcat,

I have installed iTunes 7.3.2.6 but I get the message about it requiring Windows XP.

I have Windows 2000 Server installed on my PC and I have installed Q888609_v3 which I downloaded from your web page (http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/873798.html).

I also downloaded iTunes 10.4.x Installer for Windows 2000 itw2k020a.zip (1.9M) from your web page http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1327962.html.

When I run setupit.cmd, I get the following and nothing is updated/installed on my PC.

Hi.

Hi BlackWingCat,

The files, contained within the zip file (itw2k020a.zip) that I downloaded from your website, are as follows.

AdvapiXP.dll

iphlpaxp.dll

KernelXP.dll

mDNSResponder.exe

MOVEEX.exe

msvcr80.dll

rplbfile.exe

sccbase.dll

sccsccp.dll

setupit.cmd

setupsub.cmd

ShellXP.dll

spw2kcnv.exe

taskkill.exe

usbaapl.sys

uxtheme.dll

Ws2_XP.dll

WTSAPIXP.dll

There are no msi files in the zip file.

Arigato, Michael.

I believe you're suppose to unpack the iTunes installer (the file you download from Apple) and place the contents in the folder with the iTunes installer (blackwingcat) files. You'll need WinZIP or WinRAR to do that. Then run the setupit.cmd file and just follow the instructions.

Is there a particular version of the iTunes installer, from Apple, that I should be using with the particular Zip file I downloaded from BlackWingCat's website?

Should I deinstall iTunes 7.3.2.6 before running BlackWingCat's installer?

Thanks, Michael.

Yes, I would uninstall the old version of iTunes. I believe you can use the newest version of iTunes with this installer. I pretty sure it works with at least version 10.5.x.x, but don't quote me on that. I don't really use iTunes much.

Hi.

You must down load itunessetup.exe which version you want to use.

(from filehippo and oldapps)

And extract it, itunes.msi and so on.

Hi BlackWingCat,

So for version 10.4.x of iTunes, I need to use your file named itw2k020a.zip?

If I want to use version 10.5.x of iTunes, then, I need to use your files named itw2k021a.zip or itw2k021b.zip or itw2k022.zip?

I do not understand the difference between files itw2k021a.zip, itw2k021b.zip and itw2k022.zip.

Also, on your website, it says that both itw2k021b.zip and itw2k022.zip are "(1.9M with QT/Safari Only Installer)". Is this correct?

http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1327962.html

I have found various versions on oldapps.com but I would like to know which would be the most recommended version to use?

Arigato, Michael.

Yes.

But you may use itw2k040.zip

Difference are some bug fixes and included iPhone Driver version.

The installer requires original itunes for XP 32bit installer, and you must extract it into the folder.

Hi.

You must ignore restart message and next step.

And the error dialog shows some times, you must close it.

If you selected restart and reboot your pc , you must reinstall it.
