Itunes and IE explorer does not work

[Ryan]

My IE explorer and Itunes cannot connect to the internet. I have Firefox and it works fine.

Mine works fine! What version are you using?

 

[novaderrik]

then use Firefox.. problem solved.

i haven't regularly used Exploder for probably 10 years, and every time i do have to use it for something it just makes my computer freeze up.

I am using IE7 and upgrade to the new version. I removed it and reinstalled it. I also reinstalled the Itunes. I am more worried about Itunes. I can not register or update my ipod without connecting to the internet.

 

[novaderrik]

you already said Firefox works, so use that.
Explorer is junk.
why do you have to register an ipod, and why does it need to be updated?

Do a scan.
Might be virus in there.

X2... especially if you're running XP. I've seen a few puters come in lately with IE not connecting... all virus related.

If you're running XP, do a system restore to a point before it happened (probably have to do it from safe mode)... update and run your AV, and Spyware/malware programs.

That should fix it.

If you're running vista or 7... I know nothing, as I switched to Linux after XP :tongue:

I always had more of a problem with the apple software... Crashing in the middle of sychning etc...

I am running windows 7 and IE 8 and have no problem at all. I went to double check before posting again and it works fine.

When I plug up my itouch it goes to the apple software anyway. What are using needing IE for?

 

[Ryan]

Don't really care about IE explorer. I mention it cause it may be connected to my Itunes not connecting. I deleted and re-loaded the IE explorer and Itunes. I cannot delete some of my apps without connecting. It keeps asking me for my account password. Have updated my AV and did a complete scan....no virus. Also, just noticed. My dvd player does not work...it plays CDs but not dvds. It does not recognize the DVD at all....does not show up as being inserted. Figure this may be related.

In IE, check your internet options > Connections > Lan Settings. Make sure a proxy server is not defined, uncheck the box if it is. If it goes to 127.0.0.1 then you have a bug on your system. I have seen a few recently that setup a proxy on the host machine and access the internet that way. Basically it installs a programs that points the machine to itself and the program translates/records all information to the internet. Automatically detect settings may be checked which is OK.

It may not be this but, lots of software imports the IE settings for their configuration to the internet. You can see if iTunes is the same way.

Just get a Mac.... No anti-virus, spyware, adware b.s.....
