Anyway to get an Ipod to work with Vista X64?

I recently built a computer under Vista X64 and remarkably enough, the most manufactured piece of hardware I hook up to it is the only one that isn't supported by its manufacture. Whether or not this is extreme incompetence or complications, I will never truly know but anyways....
Is there anyway to sync an Ipod with a 64bit version of Windows Vista. I don't care whether it is through Itunes or not, I just need to be able to add and remove video and music from my Ipod.

You can try Winamp or Xplay.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Audigy 2 ZS Platunum Pro (working with vista x64 beta

Just posting to let all you people know the Audigy 2 ZS does actualy work with vista beta 2 64bit the drivers them self do not work nor do any of the others but if you play around with them for a few hours (not using this work around which sucks) you can get them to work.
All I used was the drivers for XP 64bit and the Beta drivers with the XP drivers in first then uninstalled then put the new drivers in after.
Problem is for now they only work in stereo, though the breakout box does work with the voilume and such.
So dont give up sound will come from your audigy 2 zs just not very easly :P
EDIT: Well it seems that most people know this now, anyone got a sound way to get 5. working?Message Edited by Cafuddled on 06--2006 :2 AM

I would like to add my two cents to this. I had an RM-500 which stopped working after a while. My MCE IR receiver seemed to pick up an infra-red signal from the thing but the dri've bay didn't respond.
I then tried an older RM-900 from an old Audigy installation and that worked perfectly with the dri've bay. So in my case, the RM-500 was dead ( the battery was ok ).

Bought a 2GB Zen, not working with Vista X64

Hi guys,
I'm having major troubles here, I can't seem to sync it with Vista X64 no matter what methods I tried, its the 2GB version with the 2.5inch screen.
I can't even transfer songs since the media center kept saying no player connected.
What is the problem here exactly? I didn't just pay $00+ for a useless product didn't I?

What program are you trying to sync with? Can you find the player in Device Manager? If so what does it report about it's status?

Ipod wont work with vista?

when i first got my ipod nano i had windows xp then i got a new computer with vista now every time i plug it in it says usb device not recognized so i click on the bubble and it says No drivers are installed for this device. so i go to change settings then i hit up date driver then i click search automatically for updated driver software then it says windows have determinded the dirver software for your device is up to date so i go and plug my ipod in again and is says the same thing!!!!!! my ipod will not show up in itunes or my windows can anyone help me out here this has been going on since march and my ipod hasn't had any new music on it since i got vista!
p.s i have restarted the pc and tried to plug my ipod back in
i have download the latest itunes
i have tried everything nothing will work!!

I figured out the Vista problem I believe that most people are having and believe me I was getting crazy over this until I figured out that Itunes 7.6 only works with the Ipod touch in Vista 64 Bit versions. Sooooo I downloaded version 7.4 and it came up with an error that the itl file was created by a newer version of itunes...so i did a search under dos because i hate vista's file search program..but i wont go into that...for those not familiar with command prompt ...select command prompt ... type cd.. until you get to the c:\ directory then type dir *.itl /a/s/p it will show you where the itl file is located and you can delete it... then install itunes version 7.4 from one of the various sites offering older versions of itunes.. and voila ipod magic... stupid isnt it...kinda crazy i can get my ipod touch to work in Linux and not in Microsoft Vista...

Is there anyway AT ALL to get my ipod to work with a Windows ME computer???

I just bought this ipod. Can I get it to work on Windows ME? Please help!!

Well you can certainly try, but it will probably involve you buying some 3rd party software.

How can I get my iPod to work with its updater?

Hey all, I have a 4G iPod, and it isn't recognized by iTunes. I connect it to its dock, and open the updater. The updater freezes and won't work UNLESS I leave it alone, after a few minutes the updater recognizes an iPod, but not any information about it (like the serial number or software version). Knowing this, I have sucessfully restored my iPod, only to find that the same problem is still there. The iPod shows up in "My Computer", but I can't get into it. Also of interest, whenever I connect the iPod, AutoPlay immediately starts, and asks me what I want windows to do every time I connect the device, but it doesn't show me a list of options...perhaps AutoPlay is messing the iPod-iTunes connection up? Can anyone help? Tried tons of thing on the site already.
Thanks

If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Otherwise you need a working dock connector and computer wither iTuned and internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Can't get my iPod to work with iTunes

I have an iPod Touch 2 generation, and had to recently restore it, after it had done that I turned it on after it had been reset and it has the picture saying connect to iTunes, when I click to go onto it in iTunes it keeps saying Accessing iTunes store at the top, but does that for ages. Then I get the message after about 2 or 3 minutes saying Network session has times out. I've tried the obvious; rebooting, changing leads and ports and my network connection is fine. But still no luck
Any tops would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Harry

IPod iTouch working with Vista

I purchased a 16g iTouch, because my 1st generation iPod finally died (actually i dropped it).
I installed and it worked great. Syncd up perfectly. The next day, it would not recognize my iPod. Calling Apple support, they had me restore - and it worked perfect. Next day, same thing would not recognize my iPod. This time Apple support had me uninstall anything apple on my pc and then restore. It worked, but they had me reboot my pc. Guess what. It would not recognize my iPod.
I took it back to the store and actually upgraded to a 32g iTouch. Came home, followed steps, syncd up first time then it wouldn't recognize my iPod again.
Yesterday, following instructions from the Apple Genius, all my music was wiped off of my pc. I started all over, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, etc. It worked great.
Today, I come home from work to resync and to finish loading all my cd's - guess what, it didn't recognize pc.
I'm at wits end. Anyone having issues with running Vista and recognizing your iPod?

I have posted this before. I'm running Visat SP1 and the only was iTunes will find the iTouch is if I switch off the Wi-Fi on the Settings page of the iTouch!
Best Regards
Steven

Getting keyboard backlight to work with vista

when i boot into vista, i don't have usability of the alternate functions of the F keys, or the dvd eject, with the exception of num lock. is there a way to use these functions?

first try installing the new drivers from the Mac Support website, or try to reinstall the drivers on your original Mac OS X install disc 1 CD.
If that doesn't work, Dmitri has developed a beta 3.0 software that enables the keyboard backlight to work, and you would also be able to adjust the sensitivity too, which i thought was definitely a great feature:

You need to install the HotKey driver.

Ipod not compatible with Vista??

Hi:
I bought a new Dell computer that came with Vista. I have an ipod Video with iTunes songs and other recorded CD tunes I've put on the system. I can't get the Windows Media Ctr. to find my iTunes [are they not compatible]? Has Apple got a lock in on this music? Now I can't synch with my ipod for new music or synch in general. What's the story?

According to Kim Komando's newsletter today (what a name - and she claims it's not made up!), Microsoft has just released a patch that will allow iPods to work with Vista. Sorry I don't have more info - I know I won't be getting Vista for a while, so I didn't pay any more attention to how to get it or where.

IPod wont work with iMac but works in Vista

I have an 80GB iPod Classic that works perfect on my computer running Windows Vista and iTunes 7. I have only ever used it with iTunes.
My iPod's format is FAT32 (Windows). And it's running software Version 1.1.2 and disk use is enabled.
When i try and plug it into an iMac (iMac G5) running OS X 10.3.9 it doesn't work. It doesn't come up as an external drive so I can't access it as an external disk and it fails to work in iTunes.
I have upgraded the Mac to the latest version of iTunes but this still doesn't solve the problem. I tunes gives me the following error "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted...". This is not the case, my iPod is not corrupted.
How can i get my iPod to work on the Mac?

If you buy an iPod, you are Apple's customer whether you use Windows or Mac OS X. Therefore, your statement
nice how they screw their own customers.
makes zero sense.
If Apple products work in Windows for an extended period of time, this is because the most common and popular (by far) version of Windows is getting on 8 years old. And since XP is so prevalent, Apple has to support it, just like any other company that makes products that work with Windows. It is highly unlikely that Windows Vista will ever surpass XP in usage; Apple will no doubt continue to support XP with iTunes and iPods when XP is TEN years old.
For Mac OS X, Apple has been pushing the rate of development much faster. Therefore, Panther is already "old" technology, even if it was released after Windows XP. Panther is PowerPC-only and most active Macs (in the installed base) are now Intel-based, with 3 million new Intel Macs being added to the installed base every quarter. ALL Intel Macs use Tiger or Leopard. Most Power PC Mac users with supported hardware have at least upgraded to Tiger, if not Leopard. Therefore, only a small fraction of Mac users still use Panther day to day. SO... Tiger is obviously a good cutoff point for backward support, just as Windows XP is a good cutoff point on the Windows side. It's just common sense, not Apple trying to "screw customers."
It's not just Apple using this common sense. Many, if not most, third party software and hardware Mac products being released right now require Tiger or Leopard, just like with Apple.
As for your actual problem, I would try Restoring the iPod on the Windows side (assuming you have a copy of all the files on the PC). A Mac should be able to read FAT32 format, both in iTunes (using manual management) and as a hard drive using Finder. If you can get this to work, you can copy the iTunes media files onto the iPod as files (not through iTunes) and then transfer them to the Mac as files. Then load them into the Mac's iTunes library.
Continue using your Windows PC to sync the iPod. On the Mac side, use +manual management+ (do not sync).

My ipod wont work with this other computer

my computer that had my ipod music and information on it crshed so i went to go use my ipod on my moms computer. she also has an ipod but doesnt use it much so i uninstalled itunes the re-insatlled it under my information. but every time i plug it in i cant do anything with it but charge it.
??how do i update music onto my ipod through this computer??

You really didn't need to uninstall then reinstall iTunes to get your iPod to work, nor do you need to install the ipod software again.
What happens when you connect the iPod to iTunes? Is it recognized in the source list? Do you see any messages? Do you have your iPod set to transfer songs manually?

HT201304 my ipod was stolen and it says "ipod is disabled,connect to itunes" on screen saver. How would i get my ipod to work again?
