Audible, iTunes and Vista 64bit

Hi everyone, I'm moving to a new computer tomorrow that has Vista 64bit on it. I know that iTunes is now compatible, but I have a lot of audiobooks from Audible and to listen to them I know I'll have to authorise my new computer. I've had a look through the help pages on audible's site and it says that there is a problem with iTunes that stops you from authorising your computer on a 64 bit vista machine: http://audible-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/aid/3666/kw/vista%2064/rid/166
The thing is, some of the info on audible's website can be quite old so I'm not sure if this problem has been addressed yet or not. Has anyone managed to authorise a 64bit vista system for audible content? If not, can anyone think of any work arounds? (other than keeping the old computer around until the problem is fixed!)
Cheers
Nicola

I had Vista 64 and now Windows 7 64 and no issues--and there is a 64 bit version of iTunes too. All works well.

    "iTunes 7.6 or later is supported with any 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. The installer for 64-bit Vista is named iTunes64Setup.exe instead of iTunesSetup.exe. For more information see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301"
    So now you iPod With Coloer Displays will work!

  • Itunes 8.2 and Vista 64bit

    Hello everyone,
    I searched the forums and didn't see a definitive answer for the problem I am experiencing. Last Saturday I deciding to upgrade my Ipod Touch 1st Gen to 3.0. So I installed upgraded to itunes to 8.2 (64 bit installer) and lo and behold my ipod would not show up in itunes anymore. My PC still recognized my ipod as I could see it in My Computer. So I downgraded to 8.1, fired up itunes and it was back. I upgraded to 3.0 from there (it let me upgrade for some reason). After the upgrade I knew I was going to have to have itunes 8.2 to use my ipod. So just to check I fired up itunes 8.1 and got a message telling me that I had to have a newer version of itunes. So I upgraded once again to 8.2 and once again no ipod. PC still sees the ipod though. So now I am stuck, I tried to upgrade the apple mobile device drivers but am told by windows that I have the latest version. Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions? I was able to sync my ipod to itunes 8.2 running on 32bit XP so at least I got my music back.

    [UPDATE] Finally got it working. I was looking around in Device Manager and found the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. Uninstalled it. Once I did that even Share Pod stopped working. Uninstalled 8.2 and reinstalled 8.0.2, rebooted and noticed that the Apple Mobile Device USB driver did not come back. So I figured that was the culprit. Looked around in Programs and Features and found Apple Mobile Device Support, uninstalled it as well as 8.0.2 and rebooted. Once back into windows I unplugged my Ipod deleted my iTunes folder in my music folder and reinstalled 8.2. The Apple Mobile Device driver was back. So thinking I had fixed the problem I plugged my iPod back in and started iTunes. Nothing. So I unplugged my ipod and went into services (Start -> Services.msc) and stopped the Apple Mobile Device Service as well as the iPod Service. Unplugged my iPod, started iTunes plugged my iPod in and got a message from iTunes saying that my iPod couldn't be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service was not started. Aha! I was getting somewhere now. Itunes was definitely seeing the iPod but just didn't want to connect to it. So once again I shut down iTunes, unplugged my iPod, started the Apple Mobile Device and left the iPod service shut off, Fired up iTunes plugged in my iPod and still nothing. So the last thing I did was to go back into services (leaving iTunes running this time) and restarted the Apple Mobile Device service (right click, restart) and Viola! it showed up. I hope this helps some of you experiencing the same issues I have. Good Luck!

  • Itunes and vista error message

    I just purchased a new computer with vista and now my ipod/itunes won't work. i have upgraded to the itunes 7.1 (i think) and at first- my itunes synced with my ipod nano, and now it won't...error message (-50) An unknown error occured. And then it says: The disk could not be read from or written to. Why? I purchased more songs from itunes and I can't get them on my ipod...any ideas?

    iTunes not working in Vista is a bunch of bull...I personally rag on Apple for not releasing a "comaptible" (I put that in quotes because it really does work...I'll explain in a moment) version of iTunes upon release of Vista...considering that many Apple customers run Windows...
    Anyway, I bought my laptop in November before Vista even launched...I had an Express Upgrade to Vista...the trick to getting iTunes to work on Vista is a clean install of Vista onto the hard drive. When I clean installed my copy of Vista, iTunes was the first program I installed onto my computer. The results were interesting:
    1. Aero does work with both iTunes and Quicktime. The actual iTunes and Quicktime program themselves don't utilize the Aero interface, but Aero doesn't turn off for the rest of the computer.
    2. iTunes is fully compatible with Vista. All my songs play and my iPod updates just fine.
    3. Purchased music does play in Vista. All my movies, TV shows, and music I bought from iTunes play after iTunes prompts me to authorize my computer...somehow iTunes even knew that I removed my old copy of XP and it must've deauthorized my iTunes from XP because authorizing iTunes in Vista didn't take up an extra authorization of my allowed five.
    To do a clean install of Vista follow the directions from this web site. You MUST HAVE A COPY OF YOUR VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM CD WITH THE PRODUCT KEY AND YOUR COMPUTER'S DRIVERS THAT CAME WITH YOUR SYSTEM!!! These are important in case Vista isn't able to use some hardware on your computer upon install, but Vista now has most drivers already installed...when I installed Vista on my Dell the only driver I had to download from Dell's web site was for my Bluetooth device.

  • Itunes and Vista, loosing songs

    I recently upgraded my pc to Vista Buisness (through my uni)
    I installed itunes and had kept the *my music* file from XP so it found all my music again automatically.
    Althrough i have been seeing that many music files in itunes have been going missing, and not just a few files, entire albums have gone missing!
    i get that little "!" next to them and when i search for them i cant find them anywhere on my computer,
    can anyone help? i have already lost about 5 albums so far and it keeps growing
    cheers
    Dingo

    What's missing are the specific details. I have no idea if this is on an external drive or where.  Why do you keep on consolidating items?  I can only guess you are doing something non-standard with using iTunes.  I have had my iTunes library since before iTunes was iTunes (it was Soundjam) and I have lost almost no files.
    If you keep media on an external drive you need to make sure the drive is on and fully mounted before starting iTunes.
    Generally you can redownload past purchases.  You need to delete the entry completely from iTunes first or iTunes will think it is still on a drive somewhere.

  • ITunes and Vista RTM

    Ever since I installed ITunes 7.02, I have been unable to sync my iPods with any of my Vista PCs. On different machines I was running RC1, RC2, and even build 5780 which was post RC2. Today I installed the final release version and still can't get the PCs to talk to my iPods correctly. Either iTunes does not see them at all (Windows does) OR if they are visible in iTunes you get all kinds of random errors when trying to sync.
    Are others having this problem? Are there any known workarounds? I tried Vista compatibility mode but it did not work either. Vista has been around long enough you would think Apple would have this working by now.

    For what it is worth, I second that;
    Vista's "final release" does NOT work with 7.02...
    In fact it will reboot your machine randomly without warning and Vista will not "catch" the problem...(no blue screen etc - just instant reboot/bios screen).

    That may be correct, but my old Mustek 1200UB scanner is currently working flawlessly in Windows 7 using Windows XP drivers. There were never any drivers made for Vista for it.
    I got one of those scanners too!

  • PSE7 and Vista 64bit compatibility

    Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether PSE7 will run on Vista 64bit?

    Mo,
    Here's some more information on PSE and Vista 64:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_PSE_and_Vista
    One thing not yet listed in the FAQ: The PSE 7 downloader won't launch on Vista 64 -- you have to run it manually via File > Get Photos And Videos.

  • ITunes and Vista don't accept input for AppleID

    Windows Vista and iTunes 8.0.35 (and iPhone 3g) freezes when I try to login or to validate my computer. Can't buy anything from iTunes Store, neither validate any software installed on iPhone. iTunes opens a login window (apple ID and password) but makes only a beep when i try to make anything on that window. The only way to exit the freeze is to terminate iTunes.
    Any workaround?
    TIA
    Franco

    You can view your account's full purchase history via your computer's iTunes e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option, or on the current version of iTunes by clicking on your name towards the top right of iTunes and then clicking 'account info' on the popup : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    On your phone you can view the last 90 days purchases, and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with a purchase via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • From Bad to Worse to Unusable the iTunes and Vista story

    I have been trying to run iTunes on Vista for about 6 months.
    First with some effort it ran and worked.
    Then the "update" came.......had to re-install iTunes to get it working again
    Then the "update" came.......could listen to music, but not rip any longer
    Then the "update" came.......7.6.2.9
    Now all I get is this lovely box saying "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    I have uninstalled and re-installed for the entire day in all combinations.
    So I am looking for some one with ideas.....I am holding off my kids and their 3 iPods and haven't even considered telling my wife she can't update her music
    Are not "updates" suppose to resolve usability issues????? Maybe I am just confused.

    Have you seen this article?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304424
    Also are you running Norton 360 or some other security software? Try turning that off next time you install/upgrade iTunes. And make sure to run the install from your hard drive, not over the internet.

  • ITunes and Vista- No Luck

    Please help as i would love to get iTunes on my Vista PC.

  • ITunes and Vista compatability

    I've just switched to Vista on a Vista-ready laptop. iTunes won't load and I get a message that I need to "repair" iTunes. For whatever reason, I can't seem to "repair" iTunes (probably because it isn't "broken"). Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to make these two work nicely together?

  • The answer to iTunes and Vista issues...

    After waiting for weeks for Apple to listen to all the posts about Vista and iTunes issues, I decided I could not wait any longer. I went out and bought Anapod Explorer which syncs music, video and photos effortlessly with Vista. This proves onc and for all that the iTunes issues with Vista are indeed iTunes issues, and Apple should feel ashamed that they are not supporting the vast majority of iPod owners out there who use Windows not Mac.
    In the end, it's Apple's loss as now I do not use iTunes at all so will never be able to use the iTunes store. All Windows users should vote with their feet and stop using iTunes until Apple respects them a little more and works quickly to fix issues with Vista support.
    If a small company like Red Chair Software can develop a product that works so well with Vista, how come Apple can't? I recommend Anapod 200% and at $30 it is a bargain.

    Yay! This works and thanks for the suggestion to use the backed-up .itl library.
    The only glitch I got after it finally launched is that iTunes said my computer was not authorized to play tunes. I had to use my last 5 of 5 authorizations. I only have 3 computers, but I've had this glitch before. Hope I never get it again.
    Thanks to the forum, and uh... no thanks to Apple!
