I am running VISTA home premium. On my previous machine, I was running XP Home and connecting my iPod to the computer thru a powered HUB. It worked fine, and iTunes recognized my iPod. When I migrated to this new machine with VISTA, iTunes no longer sees my iPod when it's connected, and I have to precariously connect it through one of the USB ports on the face of the tower (since all the ones in the rear are occupied).
Most iPod users are not very good at using iTunes. It is very difficult to use, and you can not transfer your songs back to your computer when your computer crashed down, if it is not purchased from Apple Store. So I had not used iTunes for a long time on my Mac since I found Aiseesoft 'iPod Manager for Mac' It can both backup your iPod songs, movie/video and image on your Mac and import your local files to your iPod anytime without worrying loosing other info. This article aims to show Mac users how to import files to iPod without iTunes and backup iPod info on Mac.
I am user of vista 64 bit ultimate until I upgraded to iPod touch. Touch is not recognized by vista (64bit) and says I need a 64 bit iTunes s/we. This has really put me in a dilemma. I use dual boot with WINXP Pro and Vista 64 bit ultimate. I have been using the dual boot to XP occasionally for using my digital camera as there are no 64 bit vista drivers for it. My iPod touch works fine under XP and now I have to use the XP all the time to use iTunes/iPod touch. Anyone has any thoughts/clues on when there will be support for vista 64 bit from apple? Options I can considering are to re-install 32 bit version of vista which will solve the iPod problem; I guess MS will not allow me to dual boot 32 bit and 64 bit on the same machine?
I have a wired router connected to a combination wired/wireless switch (both are LinkSys and pretty old). The PC in question has a wired connection to the switch. In the Network and Sharing Center, Vista sees two Networks: Network (private) and Unidentified Network (public), but both have the same IP information. Both also say local and internet access, but I cannot connect to the Internet. Disabling one of the active connections (one of the fixes suggested by Windows) causes all network connections to be disabled. I have tried resetting the router and switch, renewing the DHCP lease and resetting the network adapter to no avail. The most frustrating aspect of this problem is that it is intermittent. Sometimes, without apparent reason, the computer will "just work." There is another Vista PC also with a wired connection to the switch that has no trouble connecting to the internet and correctly sees only one network.
I'm having some issues with file sharing in a network with 2 Windows XP pc's and 1 Vista 32bit. One of the XP pcs has a McAfee firewall and the other XP and Vista have standard Windows Firewall. Since I updated to SP1, I am no longer able to access files on the XP pc's or vice versa (accessing Vista files on XP pcs). Vista can detect both computers but when connecting to them. Same thing on the XP pcs.. "The Network path was not found" when trying to access \VISTAPUBLIC.
Tried to reset firewall settings on Vista (read that somewhere) but it didn't help. The weird thing also is that. when Vista is connected to the network, the XP pcs can no longer see each other anymore. When I check the workgroup nothing shows up except the machine itself. When Vista is disconnected, the other XP machine shows up again. Both XP pc's have the LLTD installed (although that doesnt really matter in this case). There aint that much information, I'm desperately trying to get files transferred to my Vista laptop. I could use bluetooth but when the filesize is over 5 gb. well you get the point.
Many people download music from Limewire, but they can only listen them on computer. Put songs from Limewire to iPod touch is really difficult to many iPod users. Yes, you need to convert Limewire songs to iPod audio format by iPod Music Converter; actually, it is iPod mp3 converter or audio to mp3 converter, because iPod accepts mp3 audio files. This article will share you how to add Limewire songs to iPod......
I am having trouble installing iTunes on windows vista 32bit. It downloads ok but when i try to run it error msg is 'itunes setup is not a valid win 32 application' i have checked and version 8 iTunes should be compatible with vista. I can't even install quicktime.
My PC locks up when trying to install iTUnes at the point where it is saying to me. "Registering iTunes automation server". Ive done everything that the iTunes help section has suggested still no luck.
I installed a Radeon HD3870 into my Gateway GT 5676 pc which has/had intergrated HD 3200 on the MB. I used Driver Cleaner Pro to clear out the 3200 drivers and loaded the 3870 card and drivers.
When I run: Device Manager it sees HD3870 System Info it sees HD 3870 GPU-Z it sees the HD 3870 BUT Dx Diag sees the old 3200! and C Cleaner lists the 3200,How do I get then all to see my HD 3870? I think my benchmark scores are on the low side.
I have Windows Vista 64 bit Edition, which I have installed SP1 on. I have 4gb of Ram, which is correctly shown in the System Information (this is also shown as 4gb in my 32bit Vista OS). But here is the problem, in the Perfomance tab of Task Manager it shows that I only have 3070MB of Physical Memory. In the Resource Monitor confirms this. My motherboard supports 8gb ram, and I am using Crucial memory, the model of which is supported by the motherboard.
Actually, I am not very good at iPod stuff and I always make a mess up about my iTunes and iPod. But now it is very easy for me to do with my iTunes and iPod, I can easily transfer data between my iPod nano and iPhone, backup my iPod data in my computer and put songs and videos from my computer to my iPod/iPhone without iTunes.
I've scoured the related threads on such dual boot issues in this forum, and my actual situation appears not to be exactly addressed. I have a dual boot system, with XP in the primary partition (50GB), and with Vista in the first logical partition (150GB). XP sees itself naturally as being in C:, and sees Vista as in E: (absurdly seeing the CD/DVD drive as D:), whereas Vista sees itself as C: and XP being in D:.
What I want to do at the moment is NOT ONLY to enable myself to boot straight into Vista, and NOT ONLY to clear out XP, but also to move my Vista installation to the physical position where XP is at the moment, so that it is on the outside of the disk and would have better disk performance - the same reason that good HD defragmenters put the most-used files on the outside of disk or at least of the respective partition.............
Currently I have 2 HDD. One SATA, with Vista on it, one IDE, with an old XP copy on it. I am booting from the SATA HDD. Well the I have my DVD Drive as the IDE Master, the HDD as the Slave (All I do on the IDE HDD is recover files). Well BOIS sees all the drives, Configures correctly (I think), but then I get into windows. It sees C: and D: Paritions on the SATA) but not the IDE Hard Drive. It sees the DVD RW drive too. So, what's wrong? If I unplug the DVD Drive and set the Samsung as IDE Master, It works fine. I can't set the HD as master and the DVD as slave though; the ribbon doesn't bend that way.
I have a Ultimate 64 PC with a USB hard drive attached, a new problem has come up, hopefully someone can help me fix it.
When I start my PC; Windows is asking me what I want to do with the Drive, open the pictures, play the music, open it to view the content etc, it's as if I have just attached the drive.
I use Vista Home Premium full install with 4 SATA hard drives. My data drive is a WD 750-gig. Disk Management sees 698.64gb with no unallocated space. It's an active partition on a basic disk. But when I open "computer" or an explore page, it sees the smaller value.
I've found solutions for xp/2000 that involve enabling 48-bit LBA, but I haven't seen anything on Vista. I don't recall being prompted for the SATA drivers during the load (F6) but I can't promise anything because it's been awhile.

I'm in China where their electrical supply is 220V. I am using my laptop to charge my stepson's IPod. However, he is sometimes at his father's house where he only has access to a desktop which is using the 220V electrical supply. Does the desktop USB connection supply the same amount of power as my laptop USB connection or will I toast his IPod when using the USB connection on the desktop? In other words, do all USB connections supply the same amount of output power, regardless of the input voltage?
I am using a Medion laptop, model MIM 2210, with Vista Home Basic. I have installed the latest version of iTunes, version 7.5.
When I connect my iPod to my computer, it brings up a message in iTunes saying, "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
I have tried both of these solutions several times, and keep getting the same message. I called Apple and they told me to try it on a different computer, so I tried it on my work laptop, which has XP and it syncs with the iPod without a problem.
I have seen on the Vista blog about a problem involving ejecting the device corrupting the iPod, but I do not have that issue.
Vista might corrupt the data on an IPod as it has problems with IPod and ITunes. If you have an IPod and have Vista, here are the MS Hotfixes to fix the problem. Just click on the links and download the fixes or Run them, as you wish, to install them on your Vista system. Make sure you install the right one, there is one for Vista x86 and one for Vista 64-bit:
Download the KB936824 update for Windows Vista x86-based versions. Download the KB936824 update for Windows Vista 64-bit versions.
If you ask me, this is grounds for a class action suit against MS for releasing an OS that was not ready and causes damage to one of the most popular hardware peripherals in the world. There should be a warning that comes with all Vista packages and Vista-loaded computers.
Every time I plug in my iPod I get this at the bottom right...When I close out of that I also get this in the middle of my screen...I have restarted my computer and tried different USB ports. Nothing shows up in "Computer" about a removable device.

when I tried to connect to Itunes from my computer the device was not automatically recognized by Itunes. Instead I got Vista's Autoplay menu which gave me the following three options:
- Import pictures using windows - Open Device Using Windows Explorer - Take no action
When I go to the device manager and I look at the properties of my Ipod (under Portable Devices) I found that the Device Assembly Description is Digital Still Camera. Consistent with this when I look at the Ipod at My Computer it shows an icon of a camera. This issue has happened now with two different Ipod Touch devices, but does not happen with other Ipod models (nano or Video). how to change the device properties?
