Vista Ultimate and iPod Nano Drag and Drop

I upgraded my laptop to Vista Ultimate (which it
is
not) and I have iTunes 7.1.1.5 running. I use a
shared network drive for my music library. I have
a
80 G Video IPod that syncs up with no (known)
issues.
I just got a new iPod Nano and iTunes will
recognize
it but i can not load music manually. When i try
to
drag and drop music from my library onto the iPod
Nano the drag function does not work. Does anyone
know what to do?
Make sure "Manually manage music" is checked in
Options under Summary.
I just dealt with this situation with a daughter's
replacement nano...
I do have the manually managed option selected. The setup I am using is similar to the other iPods I have been using. I believe this issue is vista ultimate.

Vista Ultimate / iTunes / iPod Compatibility?

I just upgraded my PC to Windows Vista Ultimate, and I find that when I dock my iPod in order to Sync it up, iTunes freezes & crashes on me. Vista doesn't even detect that I have the iPod connected, but the iPod has the 'Do Not Disconnect' circle flashing.
Anyone else encounter this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

60GB iPod Video Other OS Windows Vista (Full version, not BETA)

I guess all i can do is wait for the next update or version of iTunes.
... something else I noticed too (when I let it sit, and it eventually starts syncing on its own), it's not letting me add any photos nor any video to the iPod. They worked in WinXP, so I don't know why they wouldn't work now.
I get the following messages when I try to add Vids or Pics to my iPod:
Video:
<filename> was not copied to the iPod <iPod name> because it cannot be played on this iPod. ... after i click <OK>, it does nothing, and NONE of the videos i added show up in the iPod at all. I didn't change anything to the files. All I did was install the new OS. And, the files are all MP4s.
Photos:
Some of your photos, including <filename> were not copied to the iPod <iPod name> because they cannot be displayed on your iPod. ... and again, after i click <OK>, it does nothing, and NONE of the pics i added show up. they're JPEGs, so unless the OS upgrade changed the viewable types, there shouldn't be a problem here, right?

Windows Vista Ultimate and Error -42018

Hi there,
I upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate about a month ago. I was trying to play music and download new content and the new content downloads would stop with -42018 - unexpected error.
I had to run the compatability wizard and allow Windows XP SP2 settings with administrator access to correct the issue.
I also lost most of my licensing when I upgraded. Hold off for I-Tunes to work with Vista if you are thinking about upgrading.
And on a side note, I think that the new Windows Media "Experience" in Vista is not all that great.

Windows Vista Ultimate and Oh Crap!

Hello All,
This post is a bit of a question and a bit of advice. I am a System's Analyst / Network Engineer. I have a lot of experience with computers, Windows, and Mac OS. Eight days ago I started working with a client on a brand new PC with ALL the bells and whistles. The PC is an HP Pavilion running Windows Vista Ultimate, RAID 1 (Mirror), Removable Media Drive, Great Sound via X-Fi, Great Video via Nvidia PCI-X, and SATA (Obviously since it's running a RAID array).
I got everything setup and running great and as the last step installed iTunes and Quicktime. My client has a few thousand songs, a ton of TV shows, and a whole mess of movies ALL purchased thru iTunes store. Nothing is pirated, stolen, or illegal on this computer. Now, here's where it gets good.
I did the import in a few stages to make the data transfer a little faster. I did music, then TV, then movies. I tested a song and it worked great. I went to play a TV show and the computer slowed to a halt. I let it go like this until activity started on the machine again. It took about 5 minutes and then iTunes crashed. A second later the computer blue-screened and rebooted.
As soon as the reboot occured the RAID array came up in a failed state. I had to rebuild the array and get back into Windows. I tried again with the TV show, had the same result, tried again with a movie, and again had the same result. I called HP and they told me to fresh install the OS so I did. Again, same result.
This has been going on now for a few days with several different tests and several array rebuilds and OS installs. I would have had HP replace the computer or the motherboard but NOTHING else on the entire PC was causing this problem and diagnostics showed no hardware issues. There is/was no reason to suspect faulty hardware or software other than iTunes and/or Quicktime.
Today I ran the final tests and a fresh rebuild. I found some documentation stating that iTunes had some compatibility issues with Vista and decided to try some other videos that I could run in Media Center. They worked flawlessly. I'm left thinking that these problems are specifically iTunes / Quicktime and will move forward accordingly. Apple has stated that they are working with Microsoft to develop a new version of iTunes that is fully compatible with Vista and I have chosen to wait until that version comes out before installing it again.
My question is if any of you have experienced issues like this? If you have, do you have any advice or things you did to make it work? Please comment here as I will be watching this post to see your responses.
My advice is to be very cautious when installing iTunes in Vista, especially with this sort of configuration. I've seen iTunes work fine in Vista before but this is the first time I've worked with a configuration like this. Please be aware of the potential problems. As I've stated earlier, everything else is working perfectly.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. Have a great day!
HP PavilionCTO D4790Y Other OS Windows Vista Ultimate, 4 gigs of RAM, 256 Meg GeForce 7500LE PCI-X, RAID 1 SATA with 250 gigs

Thank you for the great responses, guys! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get.
Rain-Man, your post is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. This computer is also running WD drives. I had a feeling that WD might have been some of the issue but it only happened on the SATA RAID config. The computer I set up right behind this PC (on another desk) is EXACTLY the same but does not have a RAID 1 setup and runs perfectly with iTunes.
Also, there is a Hauppauge TV tuner running in this PC and, in retrospect, I think may be conflicting with codecs. God forbid you would have multiple codecs installed on one PC....
I'm not going to sit here and bash WD or Hauppauge, but I'm not a big fan of either of these devices. One of the other things that bothers me is that the RAID is controlled by "Intel Matrix" which is the default software RAID controller in this HP product. There isn't any real control in the management console. All you can do is rebuild a failed array or view an existing configuration. That doesn't really say, "AWESOME" to me. Being an HP product I'm assuming this is pretty standard because it was the default software controller installed on this system.
Any way you look at it, I really appreciate the posts here. I agree that there is an issue that Apple needs to address. WD or not, the fact that people are having problems getting iTunes to work in Vista needs to be resolved. We pay for our music and our shows and our movies and deserve to have them working and not getting deleted, corrupted, or damaged when we try to play them or transfer them. I love the fact that Apple is incorporating new technology into their products but we pay for that technology and it should work.
If I hadn't backed up my client's iTunes folder I would have lost everything he paid for. He's a pretty cool guy but how would you feel if you lost a couple grand worth of music, TV, and movies? I would be pretty upset.
In the end, I think RAID or drive configuration on this PC is one of the major issues. It's something to do with the SATA controller and Vista combined with iTunes / Quicktime. I'm not exactly sure how that could be but I believe it's something Apple / Microsoft needs to investigate...
Please keep the posts coming as I will be checking here regularily for updates. Thanks for your input and I hope we're able to resolve this issue soon.

I would just hurry and get a new cable, but start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Help me decide between Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows XP Pro

I have an iMac 24", 2.8GHz w/4GBRAM.
I really only plan on playing some of the latest games on my Windows partition, but I also want to get the very best performance out of some of the games.
If DX10 means a loss of performance, than maybe I should stick with Windows XP?
The games I mostly play are:
Flight Sim X
Bioshock
COD4: Modern Warfare
a Few racing sims
NeverWinter Nights 2
Civ IV
Farcry and Crysis
Based on those games... which Windows OS would perform best on my iMac?!

Hi,
up to now I have avoided Vista mainly because another 130 Euros is not in my budget right now.
And since both my Macs don't have DX10 capable graphics cards I have no need for it.
Vista does have other improvements than DX10 inside, but DX10 is sure to be the standard for future games, so why go with a Windows that doesn't support it and most likely never will.
Games running under DX10 are indeed more demanding than under DX9 so it is also most likely that you will have a at least slightly lesser performance.
A real test for any system is Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3 at the moment and we will see more in the future.
So if I have to choose right now I would go for Vista.
Regards
Stefan

T61 Windows Vista Ultimate and MS Office 2007

I have installed the above and MS Office is closing often with error message suggesting to use diagnosis. How to fix this problem.

I would use the repair feature in the "Add or Remove Programs" utility in the control panel.
I would also make sure that you upgrade your version to MS Office 2007, with service pack 1, as this critical update resolves many of these issues.

Windows Vista ULT and Quicktime problem

I apologize if this has been posted already, I did a search and found nothing so here goes...
I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and wanted to get iTunes and Quicktime running as soon as I could. I installed the latest version found on apple's website but every time I try to start Quicktime up, it does absolutely nothing at all. I try to click on a quicktime file and it does nothing as well. Even stranger, I try to uninstall quicktime and it hangs for a sec and then pretends I never asked it to do anything.
iTunes crashes every time I try to run it but it WILL uninstall.
Anyone know a fix to any of this?
Mahalos plenty!

Right, I read that article and did what they asked, but it didn't work and doesn't address the problem I have now.
According to the info Apple provided on that article, it implies that iTunes and Quicktime will work with Vista. I can wait for an update if thats the case, I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Can my ipod nano be saved?

My ipod nano was accidently dropped into a glass of coke. Now it will do nothing. Can it be saved?

You may want to soak it in plain fresh water ASAP.
When I dive with an underwater camera and the case flooded with salt water - I would store the camera in fresh water until I could get it repaired. Without oxygen it won't rust.

No sound or progress bar movement in iTunes with upgrade to Vista Ultimate

I just upgraded my computer to Vista Ultimate and my itunes does not play sound, although other applications on the computer do. Just in case, I downloaded the latest driver for my sound card. Also, the progress bar at the top does not move, although itunes shows that the song is playing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times as recommended by the ITS people at my school to no avail. I backed up my music and completely wiped everything itunes and then reinstalled but it's still doing the same thing. Please Help!
iPod 30 GB Windows Vista

Hello
Because you wrote here already third time I have tested clean Vista installation on Qosmio G30-126 but the same PQG32E like yours.
I have installed Vista ultimate and the sound works without installing sound driver. Anyway install sigmatel sound driver. Please after Vista installation install Value Added Package at first. After doing this install:
- display driver,
- sound driver,
- Synaptics TouchPad Driver
- Software Modem and so on.
I hope everything will be OK.
Bye and good luck!

Hey rrijeka,
Unfortunately, Vista is currently not compatible with iTunes.
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042 will tell you more about the iTunes and windows Vista compatability. The article will also be updated when itunes and Vista are compatible.

Camera not working after upgrading to vista ultimate

So I upgraded to vista ultimate and since then the camera hasn't worked. I don't have it turned off, and i went to device setting to see if it was working properly and also tried updating the driver. Everything seems to be in order, the camera just doesn't work. anyone have any ideas?

is it ultimate 64? if you dl the driver from lenovo's website it probably doesn't support 64bit, i had tons of trouble with my camera before too but eventually it kinda fixed itself. I think the device just wasn't being recognized by windows and the driver never completed installation but after a few reboots it gave me a notification saying that it was indeed finished installing and since then it worked great.

Acrobat 9 Pro not compatible with Vista Ultimate

I am running Vista Ultimate and have Acrobat 9 Pro. When I print and choose "Adobe PDF Converter" as my printer I get the following error:
Interactive services dialog detection
Program(s) of devices(s) requesting attention.
Message title: Test Page.pdf Adobe Acrobat Pro
Program path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
Received: November 15 -08, 9:23:58 PM
This problem happens because of partial incompatibility with Windows Vista. Please contact the program of device manufacturer(s) for more information.
Once I acknowledge this the new .pdf file appears.
Do I have a setting wrong?
Thanks

I am having the same problem in Windows 7, did Adobe ever come up with a solution.
We recently upgraded our systems to Windows 7. Since the upgrade, the 'interactive services detection' dialog box opens every time I create a PDF file (I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro). Is there any way to correct this? Acrobat used to open when the file was created (WinXP), now I get the 'isd' box. It creates the file, but the dialog box comes up asking me to view the message. It takes me away from my desktop to view the file (goes to black screen and then displays the file) and I have to close the file in order to get back to my desktop (black screen then back to desktop). I was able to disable it by going into printer preferences and unchecking 'view adobe pdf results', but I would really like to be able to view my PDF's when they are created. (We had Adobe Acrobat Reader X installed initially on the system and then installed the full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, using AAP9 as the default program for pdf's. I don't remember if this problem has been occurring since we installed the full version or after Reader X was uninstalled (program was acting funny, so we uninstalled.) Any suggestions are appreciated.
