Wow...Iphone does not work with Windows Vista 64 bit

Preamble: Please spare me the bitchy comments about my being an idiot for using a PC. I give Steve plenty of money with 4 purchased Ipods, accesories, and a behemoth Itunes account. PC is fine for me and I like to spread the love.
Sooo, here it is...
Incredible, and I can't believe the media has not caught onto this yet as this problem must be the biggest complaint to date. Apple support has confirmed that they are now (after getting thousands of calls this weekend) realizing that even they were caught off guard in the iphone not being compatible with Vista 64bit. As the majority (from what I have seen - with the exception of cheaper line Dells)of PC's shipping over the past few months have the 64 bit version installed this may be a huge blunder on Apple's part. I purchased two phones and spent the weekend uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (per the error message and the instructions of support) before it was realized by Sunday that it doesn't work. Updates? The one person at apple support told me it could be weeks. Back to the store for a return and an argument over the 10% restocking fee.

Actually OS X has a larger population of users (over
Vista but not WinXP) if you look at
licensed/registered accounts. Various browser sites
that log OS type hits would also bare out this
information. Not many folks have adopted Vista over
WinXP, and even fewer have installed 64bit version of
Vista due to lack of driver support and compatibility
with existing Windows based applications/games.
Having said that, get a Mac and install Boot Camp to
run WinXP or Vista and also get fully integrated
iPhone support with your Mac.
Look up the actual sales numbers for Vista, think
you'll be surprised -- your actually the minority not
the majority.
Vista sales are well below expectation -- Microsoft's
stock is taking a beating while Apple's stock is
taking off. But to solve your issues, I suggest you
run the Windows version of iPhone software in 32bit
compatibility mode -- this should solve it.
Rob.
To say that there are more OS X users than Vista is false. That's what you believe and want everyone else to believe.
I agree it has problems but like the iPhone they will be addressed.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • ITunes does not work with Windows VISTA

    If you are planning on installing Windows VISTA than do not expect your iTunes to work. It will mark all our downloads as being unauthorized to play on the Windows VISTA computer. If you try to download some new songs you will get an error. I am working with version 7.0.2 - the newest version at this time. So, beware - do not expect iTunes to work with Windows VISTA.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

  • Secondary display does not work with Windows...

    Ive been using a samsung syncmaster 920nw as my secondary display for the past few months. It works fine while running OS but when I switch over to Windows XP the display goes blank after startup. I have installed the proper drive and updated it whenever possible, but with no effect. I have tried to follow the troubleshooting prompts and pretty much everything else I could think of. Im out of ideas. I didnt buy the monitor to sit on my desk and take up space... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Still no luck... Has anyone else experienced this problem while running Windows through bootcamp? Is it possible there's a compatibility issue with XP vs. Vista? The display is new and bears the mark "Works with Windows Vista". Could that mean it wont work with XP? I obviously don't use Windows that often, but seeing as I purchased the monitor as a secondary display, it would be nice to be able to put it to use in Windows too. Thanks anybody...

  • USB Ultranav keyboard does not work with Windows 7

    Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 to my Dell Latitude XT tablet and was disappointed to learn that my USB Ultranav Keyboard only works as a keyboard and not a 'mouse'; that is, the ultranav devices (touchpad, buttons, and trackpoint) do not work.  I have not had problems with the keyboard functioning in XP or Vista, so it was surprising to find that it will not work with W7.
    I thought all was going well when W7 recognized the Ultranav keyboard when I plugged-in the device, but all did not go as planned.  I let W7 find the drivers through Windows update, but then once they didn't prove to work, I followed W7's directions of reinstalling the drivers in its version of 'Compatability Mode', but that still didn't prove to work.  I would really appreciate any insights into this problem as it is one of my only (current) hesitancies about using W7.
    Thank you for your time and attention to my inquiry.
    Cheers,
    Tsugazi

    Hi, strangely enough, I got it to work.  Here's the what I did differently (for those with a similar problem):
    After installing W7, I plugged in my keyboard and let Windows find the drivers.  When this didn't provide functionality of the ultranav devices, I tried installing the Ultranav drivers, and when Windows said there was a compatability problem, I then opted to let Windows re-install the Ultranav driver.  Unfortunately, this didn't provide functionality either.
    Jump ahead 12 hrs and re-install of W7 (for other reasons).  This time out, I installed the Ultranav driver, THEN plugged in my keyboard.  Everything works now!  I don't know that this sequence will work for everyone, but it did for me.
    Thanks for your comments.
    Cheers,

  • Does FireFox work with Windows Vista?

    Question is not about the machine I'm using right now - so I haven't opened the "troubleshooting" window. The question is regarding my wife's old Vaio laptop with Windows Vista OS. It browses very slowly. We may want to use FireFox and possibly speed browsing. Uses Chrome now and will want to migrate tabs and favorites (etc).
    Is this possible and might it make the system a little faster?
