Iphone and Windows Vista problem

Okay, so I have windows vista and the iphone seems to be having a hard time with that.
When I plug my Iphone into my computer it recognizes the apple device and asks if I want to import picture. In itunes it shows the button that the Iphone is plugged in and synced, however, when I press that button nothing happens. I can't add any photos to it because everytime I try there is some kind of error. What can I do?

Same exact problem!
Upon returning home after picking up the long awaited iPhone 2, I discovered that my iTunes and/or Windows Vista would not detect the iPhone, and I’ve been searching the Internet for a solution since (going on day two now). Apparently, Vista and the latest iTunes have had this problem quite a lot.
It’s really a shame, as I think Apple is missing a singular opportunity to use the iPhone as a transition drug to more Apple products. I for one have been looking for a reason to dump my Dell and pick up a MacBook Pro, and the iPhone seemed to be it.
However, if I get caught in the middle of a ******* match between Apple and Microsoft, well, they both lose.
When you spend this kind of money, it is imperative that the thing works out-of-the-box. I will never purchase a Dell again for just this reason. Now, if I purchase a Lada, well, I'm expecting to put in some hours and blood to get the thing air born, but an Apple product? No way.
Please help me become an Apple customer.

  • Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem

    Hello,
    I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
    cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
    seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
    caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
    the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
    using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
    Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
    using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
    I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
    restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
    and still have the same problem.
    Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Hello Again,
    I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
    and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
    opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

  • ITunes and Windows Vista problem

    I have Windows Vista and ran iTunes successfully for 8mos.  Now I'm getting a message box that says "iTunes has stopped working.  Close box and Windows will send a solution."  The solution, upgrading Windows, doesn't work.  Is Vista the problem?

  • 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!!!!

  • Iphone and Windows 7 problem

    I recently updated the operating system on my desktop from XP to Windows 7. I listened to someone who assured me that you did not have to backup my system before I did the install (my bad).
    I downloaded Itunes to my desktop again but it does not recognize my iphone. I don't want to loose all my musics and apps.
    Can anyone help me with a fix to this? Please.

    You should be maintaining a backup of all the important data on your computer's hard drive including your iTunes library regardless if installing a new Windows version and especially before doing so. Maintaing a backup is important regardless the platform but even more so with Windoze due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
    Check this link for an iPhone not being recognized with Windoze.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
    After you get this resolved, your iPhone will be erased of all iTunes content with the first sync and the same for any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone if this is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • ITunes iPhone and Windows Vista - Syncing Issue

    I was trying to upload 2 new albums I have and it seems it re-synced my whole music library to my iphone.
    Is there a video or something I can watch that shows how to use iTunes correctly, and to sync new songs without having to re-sync the whole entire library to my iPhone.
    Thanks.
    Black MacBook, 2.0GHz Core Duo, 1GB Ram, 80GB, Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   8GB iPhone

    There really isnt much to syncing music. I have read several posts of folks complaining that making a simple change to one song caused the entire library to resync.
    Suggestion - turn off automatic syncing when you plug your iPhone. Then choose Sync only selected items, and then select all your music. Sync. Then make a change to one song and manually sync again. See if only that one song syncs.

  • Iphone and Windows Vista

    Has this ever happend to anyone, i bought a new computer in Janaury plugged in the iphone after itunes and my ipod had already worked correctly. Then once the iphone was syncing the dreaded "blue screen" popped up. My computer crashed losing everyithing I had just put on it, after many frustrating phonoe calls to Dell, they finally sent out a new one - because nothing they did could fix it.
    So here I am with this new computer it has been working fine for the past 5 months, but I am very leary about hooking up the iphone.
    Should I be this nervous about hooking the iphone up? THe itunes and ipod are working just fine.
    Basically I have been just using my old dog of a computer for updating the iphone software.
    I guess it serves me right for not converting to an Apple/Mac!

    KTP1971,
    If you get a blue screen when you connect an iPhone with pictures taken on the iPhone, it can be a conflict with the drivers for a webcam or scanner.

    This should get your itunes store connection working.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Audigy 2zs Gamer and Windows Vista / Windows 7

    .Audigy 2zs Gamer and Windows Vista / Windows 7? Hello, I am just wondering if it is a known issue to have really loud static and crackling when playing games using this card in Vista or Windows 7. I had this issue playing Bioshock a few months back on my Vista boot. I never figured out a way to resolve it so I belei've I just eventually uninstalled the driver and used the card without a driver install (not sure but I think this what I did). It worked but I might as well of just ran onboard sound...
    Now I have installed and tried to run Windows 7 on a dual boot but I started receiving really loud cracking and popping in Warhammer Online and realized I had not installed a driver for my sound card. I did not expect creative to have a Win 7 driver yet but thought perhaps the Vista driver would work in compatibility mode, it does and sounds awesome and really makes me remember what I am missing without my driver installed on Vista but unfortunatly it randomly starts the crackling and popping again after a while...especially when a lot start happening on screen (pvp raids with many characters on screen and magic effects).
    When the crackling starts happening I have no choice but to exit the game and restart the computer to get rid of the noise, but randomly it comes back after a while during gameplay. So as a temporary solution I have installed my onboard sound drivers and have been using that for sound output and my mic port on my sound card for my microphone. I would REALLY love to get my sound issues worked out in both Vista and Win 7 because it sounds SOOO awesome while it's working, the popping though is terrible, I never had that issue in XP.
    I know this is an older card but any help would be appreciated!?

    One thing you do need to learn is that SHOUTING IS MUCH HARDER TO READ!
    But, if you are using Audition 1 and it works with XP, then if you have the chance, I'd stick to that on a new machine. Apart from anything else, it's completely untried with Windows7 and with Vista its a) likely to have problems, and b) going to run slower.
    The other part of your question about the 'look' of later versions is that 1.5 looks pretty similar to 1.0, but with 2.0 and 3.0 things have changed somewhat - rather more with Multitrack View than Edit View. Basic operating principle remains the same, though - most people have had very little trouble transferring from one to another.
