AirPort Disk - Issue with Windows Vista Ultimate

I setup an AirPort Extreme network, with a shared USB Drive and so far I've only found one issue.
When attempting to create new files and renaming them, or rename pre-existing files on the shared USB Drive using Windows Vista Ultimate I get the following Yes/No dialog:
"The Z:\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?"
Then there's information about the mapped drive. If I click "Yes" in the dialog, then the dialog goes away for a moment then pops back up. I can't create a new file directly on the shared AirPort Disk, nor can I modify or create and rename new files on the disk without getting stuck in the loop.
I can, however, create a new file locally on the Vista box and copy it up, and I can even create a new directory locally with files and copy them up without issue.
Now, the issue does not happen when I use my MacBook or my XP machine. This issues seems to be a Windows Vista issue only, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it.
Here's information about the disk share implementation:
- The disk is password protected (turning on accounts really breaks the ability of Windows Vista to work with the disk)
- The disk is Mac Formatted with Case Sensitivity, and Journaling
This works like a top for OS X and Windows XP, just not Vista. I'd like to getting working properly for all machines.
If anyone's got some advice on this one, I'd love to hear it.

Here's a little more information regarding the issue:
- It's an AirPort Extreme Wireless Router with Firmware ver. 7.1
- The Windows Vista Ultimate PC has the most recent Microsoft patches to-date, and has the most recent Apple Airport Utilities Software to-date.

Itunes 8 - issues with Windows Vista

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows vista home basic. Downloaded Itunes 8 and installed it ok, but when i go to start itunes, it starts in a minimised screen and I can't see the any of the buttons along the top (file, edit etc..). When the screen is maximised, the appearance is ok. But there is a problem with language in the play-lists - the playlist titles are in another language (Looks like Swedish or Finnish).
I've checked all the language settings in itunes and in the operating system too and they are all set to English. Has anyone come accross this problem before? Is this a known issue with Itunes/Vista?

I am having the same problem regarding the playlist languages, as well as other aspects. For example, my library name under preferences is not in English. Have you resolved the issue? I have checked all of my itunes and computer language settings and they are all set to English. I even changed my computer settings from Canada to US so that they are all the same.

Installing iTunes with Windows Vista Ultimate

ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
Now the problem has begun...
I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I still have to find a verification for this, but:
Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
Sorry

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.

Installation Flash cs3 with Windows Vista Ultimate

I am trying to use Flash on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Installing the program tells me a mistake "error in the
installation component". I have tried to install in administrator
mode and windows account manager
Can anyone tell me how to install Flash for suite cs3?

I would download a new installer, you can get the trial
installer, then just enter your serial when you first run it.
Sounds like a corrupt exe. But yes, make sure and run as
Administrator by right clicking the file.

Should it be an ACS appliance, please do the following:
1. Set logging level to full:
System Configuration > Service Control > Services Log File
Configuration: Level of detail = FULL
2. Reproduce the problem
3. Note the time-stamp from the problem-reproduction
4. Collect Package.cab:
System Configuration > Support > Click on: "Run Support Now"
--> This will prompt you after a while to download Package.cab to your
local machine.
5. Upload Package.cab to SR notes along with the time-stamp of the
reproduction (step-3 above).

Importing issue with Windows Vista

I have just upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate and had to re-install iTunes, upon doing this when I try and import a music CD I now get just the first few seconds of each track... no matter what I do. I have re-installed twice already to try and fix but no luck... Can anyone help?? Cheers Scott

Did anyone come back to you on a fix ??
I have just registered another post to see if anyone else can help

Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

ITune reinstall issue with Windows Vista

Because of a malware issue I was recently forced to remove, among all the others, my iTunes program from my computer (Dell Studio 1535 using Windows Vista Home Premium Service [OEM] Pack 2). A few days ago I went to the Apple site and downloaded the iTune64 setup application. When I click on the app it starts to install properly but all of a sudden I receive a popup saying: “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This canoccur if you are running Windows in safe node, or if the Windows Installer isnot correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.” I am not running this setup in "Safe Mode." After numerous internet searches, fix attempts and discussions with individuals in India I’m still having this issue. Could anyone offer any suggestions? BTW, this WILL be the LAST Windows base computer I will EVER own. In the meantime, I need my iTunes back.

Hi,
Apple has released the 2.2 driver update for BootCamp.

It should address the difficulties with the 24" iMac.

Dynamic ARP inspection rate limit issues with Windows Vista Systems

Good Day to everybody.
I had implemented DHCP Snooping & Dynamic ARP inspection feature to mitigate ARP spoofing attacks to one of customer location where we have mix of Windows vista & XP systems. By default DAI feature rate limit ARP packets on un-trusted ports to 15 Packets per second. With this value I was facing some issue to access file shares where port will go in error-disabled state due to ARP broadcast from system was crossing 15 PPS limit of DAI. For the same, I had increased the DAI limit to 64 & after that we had not facing this problem from windows XP systems, but windows vista systems are still giving problem. Also this probem is very random in nature & not all the windows Vista system will face same issue even though they are accessing same file share & are configured with same DAI rate limit.
That's why I am not able to figure out baseline values for DAI rate limits. I had already search microsoft documentation for limiting this ARP broadcast from Windows Vista system, but no luck.
Is there any way to find out correct settings for this DAI packet rate limiting in Windows Vista enviorement ?

check out this thread.
As topmahof said already it could correlate with a wrong Intel driver.

ITines is not compatible with Windows Vista Ultimate

I tried 3 times to install (re-install) iTunes 7.3 so I could activate my iPhone. iTunes kept returning a message to uninstall and re-install iTunes, since some unknown piece of software was needed to recognize the iPhone. When will Apple fix this problem? I had to use an older WindowsXP machine to successfully activate the iPhone.

Yes, I went through this too. I have Ultimate 64bit (came installed on my new HP Laptop - most of the new laptops are coming this way.
I finally took my iPhone back, because the as the gal at the Apple store told me, they will never support 64 bit Windows OS.
However I did read a post here that future versions of iTunes were expected to correct this. I sure hope so.
Anyone know if the new iTunes 7.3.1 corrects or now allows for activation or synching with Vista 64 bit???

Airport Extreme Compatibility with Windows Vista

I hope someone can help. I installed airport extreme and all my computers (Mac's and pc's on XP) can connect ok to the internet. The new laptop I just bought with Vista will not work. After two hours of tech support from Apple and then Toshiba, I learned that the router works when no security is selected, but when either available security level is selected, the laptop will recognize the router signal but won't connect to the internet. I downloaded the 7.1 Apple update and did a firmware update to the base station. Any ideas about this? It seems as though the security levels in the Apple router are not recognized by Vista. But I don't see an available fix to download.
Thanks for any help!

One possibility is to locate an older wireless access point and configure it in bridge mode and use it only for 802.11g wireless access to the network by the Vista notebook computer.
