I have a ipod video and windows vista. computer locks up

I have computer that is running windows vista 32-bit. Everytime I use itunes I keep getting error messages and I will get the blue screen and the computer restarts. I have updated to itunes 7.3 and my ipod has software version 1.2.1 on it. Any help? I have been running vista for over 3 months and no issue with any other software just itunes.

I am not on a network. The I have a few usb things that are connected but they are only connected at the time I use them. I have a usb printer, tomtom, and a car computer that connects to the laptop. I only have the printer connected when I am printing, the tomtom is only connected when I am updating software, the car computer when I am tuning my car computer. Every time I connect to the ipod it is the only thing that is connected to the pc. I haven't had a problem with any other hardware/software then entire time until I bought the ipod and installed itunes. All the other software and hardware still doesn't give me any problems when I am printing, updating the tomtom, or tuning my car computer. The only problems are while I am using Itunes.

Need driver for iPod video and Windows Vista

I had an iPod video and it synched no problem to my computer. There was a hardware issue inside the iPod so i sent it back and got a new one. Now when I connect it to my computer, it brings up the looking for a driver window and says it can't find it. Its only been a week since it worked fine.. I don't know if there is an issue with the new iTunes or what but has anyone had any experience with this issue or can simply tell me where to directly download or find the driver?

I too have had a problem with needing a driver for ipod. My ipod was working fine, then my computer stopped recognizing the ipod. It says it needs a driver for the ipod and I can't find one anywhere...need help..please

I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

Do IPod Video and Windows XP HP Labtop go together?

I wanted to know if my HP Labtop can handle itunes. Last time my computer got really slow (laggy) and i had to reformat it. Its back to normal but im not sure if i can put itunes back on my laptop if its going to cause the same problem.
P.S. I dont want to waste my ipod video of 60 GB and i havent had it for a year yet.

Just tossing in my experience quickly:
Ever since I "upgraded" to v7 of iTunes, my iPod (60G w/Video) hasn't been recognized, same as Rebecca. Also my TransFlash memory cards aren't recognized, either. I went through many steps listed in these forums, to no avail; I even did a repair install of Windows. I have noticed in my Device Manager the following: a yellow exclamation point beside "parport" and "serial". (Right-click "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices) For both of these entries, under their properties, it says this: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)" I haven't found much info surfing the net as of yet... I hope this info helps a bit. Don't mean to hijack, here, either. But in my opinion the new iTunes upgrade corrupts the windows registry somehow, as this story of mine seems to be quite prevalent...

I have replacement ipod video and want it to use the itunes held on my comp

Help needed please. I had an ipod video which broke. I have bought a new one, but have been told it won't carry forward my music from itunes.
How can I get the replacement i pod to hold my existing itunes?
I Pod video 30G Windows XP

You just need to connect your new iPod. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the onscreen instructions to register and name your iPod, when that is done you'll be asked if you want it to update automatically from iTunes, choose yes if you do. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like

IPod Mini and Windows Vista RC1

Ok, so I connect my mini to my Vista RC1 machine (FULL PC, not BootCamp), then went to bed. A few minutes later, the mini's screen lights up like I just connected it to the machine, then the main ipod folder opens up like it was set to hard-drive mode. For some reason, the iPod keeps reconnecting to the computer. I can't figure out how to stop it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello pc1971,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried some of the basics such as plugging it into different USB ports on your computer or try a different USB Connector Cable?
Maybe try resetting the device with it connected to your system. To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, and then press and hold the Menu and Select (Center) buttons together for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Otherwise, I would continue working through the recommend troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document.

IPod Touch and Windows Vista 64bit

I got a new IPod Touch and when I try to connect it I get a window with this message:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes"
Where is the 64-bit version!!!!!!!!

No 64 bit version yet. I got multiple iPod Touch devices for my family for Christmas last month from the Apple store. I asked in the store if they would work with 64 bit Vista and was told yes. The box says Vista. I'm considering trying to get them to take them all back, since all my machines in my house are Vista 64 bit.
To the people that point at the iTunes compatibility list: well, that's not printed on the side of my iPod box, and was told by the Apple guys it would work.
To the people that say 64 bit Vista doesn't work with many programs: Find me one. As all of my companies 383 apps certfied on it, and everything I run at home works just fine.
It's been out OVER a year (XP 64 bit has been around for YEARS). Come on Apple! Give us a 64 bit driver!

Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

I cannot connect to my network. I have the Ipod 6 and my home computer is running on windows XP. My internet provider is Rogers. Any suggestions?

How can I connect to my network? I received this as a gift and I cannot get it to connect. My home computer is running on Windows XP and my internet provider is Rogers. I have a network set up. Is therese something special that I need to do to ensure that this new device can communicate with the host computer?

My router is 5 years old and I connected 5 iDevices with no issues. Your router may need a firmware update.
But the easiest thing to try first is to reboot the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Then restart your iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. Hold the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears to start up.
Some other thoughts .... Does your iPad recognize your WiFi network? Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name. Can you see it?

I have two iPod videos and one iPod touch, 1st generation. The internal battery died in the iPod videos, and the memory in the iPod touch is too little to put all my songs on it. Can I get credit for any of these iPods or possible get a reconditioned iPod

?

The only "credit" from Apple for used iPods is the Recycling Program, which gives you 10% off the purchase of a new iPod (at an Apple Store).
There are third-party businesses, such as Gazelle.com. that pays for used iPods.
Apple offers "certified" refurbs, with full warranty, at a reduced price

I have an ipod touch and an hp computer. i was wondering how i can play apps using itunes on my computer

I need help as fast as possible! i downloaded an app from itunes off of my computer and i can only use it on my computer.
Does anyone know how i can use it on my computer? please help!:)

Hi ~
You cannot do that. The apps are specially made for the apple products. If you want to have apps on your computer, find them online somewhere else, pay for them if needed, and use those. You cannot do what you are requesting to do.
Hope I helped!

iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

Why does my Windows Vista computer say the wrong iPod Touch name? I have multiple iPod Touches and after updating one of them, Windows Explorer says they are all the same name now.

Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?

iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.
