iPhone + iTunes + ESET Smart Security + Vista
by Mice007 on jún.10, 2009, under Other
Well as an iPhone user I’ve upgraded iTunes to latest (8.2) version in order to make it compatible to the upcoming iPhone OS 3.0 update.
Everything went fine, until the first restart.
After Windows boot and log in it said I do not have any network connection. This was weird so I’ve checked all my cables and router and stuff… everything working fine, plugged in..etc. Ok did another reboot.
Now ESET Smart Security 4 said I have some firewall issues… it cannot start the required services due an unknown reason… fine… I’ve tried to update ESET to the latest version but it did not solve anything… next I tried to uninstall iTunes but still no luck. Finally I had to make a system restore to the state before upgraded iTunes. Everything went back to normal… I’ve repeated the whole process with the same results.
I’m still investigating this issue but if you ran into the same problem please share the results here so we may be able to figure out this thing.
UPDATE: Finally I found a solution to this issue. As I searched through the Internet and did not find anything about this I realized that I’m alone with this problem. So I had to uninstall ESET Smart Security, iTunes and then installed iTunes 8.2, plugged in the iPhone (OS 3.0 installed already on it) and after a restart I installed ESET Smart Security again. This time everything went fine and no error messages after a day of using my computer.
