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.

Adobe 7 is not compatible with Vista, If you are not satisfied with that answer...

Unfortunately for what I do for a living I can't use a mac, cannot WAIT till they do become compatible or I just switch professions!
I have adobe 7Pro because I MUST create PDF documents for my business, however when my laptop crashed for the 3rd time in less than a year and I was NOT about to pay HP $400 to reboot it, instead I had fun and smashed it (like in Office Space) and went out and bought a new Sony Vaio. This laptop is nice and all however now ALL new computers come with Gates newest form of a rip off, VISTA, which had so many issues they release a new update for it every day and professional companies wouldn't touch it, so they FORCED it on us small business owners and personal computer users, such CRAP! (If you notice all large corporations use XP, there is no Vista for large corps, there's a reason for that...
The people that do NOT have the $ to keep upgrading and paying for FIX ITS online from some unknown who has figured a work around are forced to use this crap!!! I'm BEYOND anoyed... ANYWHO I am installing my adobe 7pro and every time I open it I get asked to "ACTIVATE AGAIN" so I call in to get a NEW Activation code and a minute later it does it AGAIN... SOOO, I get Tech support and the IDIOT in India literally READS to me the following statements:
"Adobe 7 is not compatible with Vista"
I tell him, that's a lie because my friend uses it on vista.
He proceeds to READ to me "If you are not satisfied with that answer, then acrobat no longer supports Adobe 7". WTF?!?!? If I am not SATISFIED with that answer!??! aparantly he was NOT supposed to read THAT part!!! Laughing I proceed to tell him to piss off and hang up on him because I am SOOO tired of all these damn AMERICAN companies outsourcing their customer service to some 3rd world country where they pay these people $5 a week and have them just read from a ******* script for your problems, that is NOT technical support, that's BULL CRAP! I know 4 yr olds that read english better!!!
I am sick and tired of it... I might just take advantage of the 14 day return policy and go to Apple and buy a mac next week and change my profession sooner than I had planned JUST TO AVOID USING THIS CRAP!!! ADOBE YOU SUCK!!! Microsoft SUCKS!!!
If you run into this problem do what I am doing, go to Apple and buy a mac, we need to stand up against all this and pay attention to the COMMERCIALS that are VERY TRUE and drop Microsoft, IBM, anything Gates related and stop using their products!!!

Thanks Mike!
I'm just so frustrated, its bad enough my other laptop wasn't even 2 yrs old
yet and I've spent $800 to have it fixed twice already, this 3rd time I was
DONE... so I moved onto Sony, but this Vista just is making my life a living
hell, I just spent a fortune on the laptop, and now I have to buy Adobe 9
when my adobe 7 isn't even 2 yrs old... ugh... its just very frustrating and
nerve racking and is costing more than I make in a week in this business
(real estate processing)... I should sell Microsoft for a living, I'd be a
millionaire!
My husband's Mac has been through hell and back physically, is 5 yrs old and
we've never had to take it in for any upgrades or issues, its SO easy to
use... why can't Microsoft be the same?!?!
Thanks for your input and for being understanding of my frustration, I bet
you see those often! LOL

Illustrator CS3 not compatible with Vista

I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CS3 because my previous program - Freehand, is not compatible with Vista. The Adobe site stated that Illustrator was capable of importing and editing Freehand files so I gave it a try.
Well, it does import the files with only a few minor font issues. BUT, when you try to SAVE or EXPORT it returns the error message: "can't save illustration". In other words, you can import, work, design, etc. but when it comes time to save or export your work, you can't. So the program is completely worthless.
Adobe should have made this bug or conflict clear before releasing the product with Vista compatibility and stating that it could import Freehand 9 files. What good is importing the files if you can't save them after making the changes?
I would caution anybody to wait until there is a patch or at least try the trial version before spending a lot of time and money on a program, only to find you can not save or export your work!

>I finished editing a project in 2.0 and installed CS3 to finish. Now when I try to render the project it crashes and then I when I restart all of my media is unlinked so I relink save, crash, repeat forever. I guess I need to reinstll 2.0 this CS crap isn't working for me.
I had a similar problem. I started a 60-minute documentary under Premiere 6.5 and finished it in Pro 2.0. Nightmares!
I thus recommend starting and finishing each project in one version. I also recommend that when you get a version of Premiere running well on a particular system and you want to upgrade, you build an entirely new system and upgrade on THAT sys. Keep the old system because you have possibly scores or hundreds of hours into getting it to work perfectly. Sell these old systems off as turn-key systems to editors that are less experienced and don't need the power (yet). I have been doing this and it works out well. I am also developing a chain of trainees who will someday be able to COMPLETELY TAKE OVER MY EDITING POST AND THUS RELEASE ME FROM THIS HELL (so I can go back to producing and directing).

Ipod classic compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Hi,
Is the Ipod Classic compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?
I found out the hard way that the Itouch is not!
Greetings,
Miguel

If I could I would answer your question.
But I do not know how I did that.
Itunes has been working since day 1 on my 64 bit machine, only problem is that it takes half a minute to copy album cover art to song in itunes, the computer is hanging for 15 seconds before the album cover art is copied.
I just took the Ipod out of the box and connected it to the computer and it worked fine.
Only problem that I had yesterday is that when I'm intergrating album cover art my hard disk is doing strange things.
Just yesterday, my RAID 1 was corrupted by Itunes, first hard disk 1 was failing and an hour later hard disk 2 also crashed.
Was able to reconnect them into RAID 1, luckilly.

Ipod not compatible with os 10.3.9

I purchased a new ipod nano and it is unable to run on my system.
I currently have a g4 desktop running 10.3.9 with itunes 7.4. I am looking to replace my nano 1st generation since the battery life does not last very long. Right now I can’t purchase a new computer and have two options I was considering. I am kind of lost on what to do next. I was thinking about installing more memory and upgrading to leopard. The problem with this is the software I have will not be compatible. I was also thinking about buying a later model ipod or ipod. Does anyone know the most recent used model that would be compatible with my system.

Hello cdigi24,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The determine what iPods are compatible with your system, I would check out this page below from Apple. You can look through each model's minimum requirements. Should help you find your answer. Hope it helps.

Adobe is not Compatible with Vista? or not compatible with 64bit Vista?

From reading through some of the threads here, I am still a
bit confused. Is Captivate 4 not compatible with Windows Vista at
all? Or just not supposedly compatible with 64bit Vista?
Has anyone tried to do a software simulation recording of the
start button, or start menu, or any control panel windows? It
doesn't register a click at all! It will not record a frame!
This is rediculous Adobe. You had, what... 2 years almost? to
develop Captivate 4? And you can't even make it Vista compaitble?
I suppose you'll drop Captivate 5 in 6 months and make
everyone pay $400 for an upgrade just so they can record anything
in Vista? This had better be a high priority update. As it stands
right now, I have to do full motion recording. If I want to do
that, I will use Camtasia!!!
Please give me an answer or a workaround.... Someone..
Anyone.
I am using 64bit and it works fine if recording within an IE
window. All editing, recording, etc functions work fine. I have
tried to do this on a 32 bit version as well with no luck
(recording start menu / button/ control panel windows/etc)
Thank you.

> The problem somehow lies in the system windows. I always
run captivate "as

"control panel"

What changed??
>
Captivate 3 and 4 work fine on 32-bit Vista. Neither is fully
compatible
with 64-bit Vista, so far as I know, but you should be able
to get results
by running in 32-bit compatibility mode.

Why is my ipod not compatible with iHOME?!?!?! please help.

long story short.
my nano will not play in ANY brand/model of an ihome.
the one's I have tried are clock/radio systems that should be compatible with nano's.
the radio works but when I plug my ipod in and change the setting to 'ipod' no sounds comes out.
I did use the proper docking equiptment.
I have tried different models and asked workers at circut city for their oppinion and no one can help.
please respond with adivce.
thank you.
Dell Windows XP

i have the exact same problem with my ipod nano (1 GB)! I got my ihome for my birthday and the first one i got didn't work. I have exchanged it once and it still didn't work. Yet my ipod nano works in my friends ihome. They are the exact same ihome so i don't know what is wrong. I will dock my ipod nano, using the right docking piece on the ihome, press ipod and then turn the volume up completely and a faint sound of the song can be heard but it's extremely fuzzy. If i use the cord and plug it in through the back connector it works but then it won't charge it and that's one of the reasons i bought the ihome in the first place. I have read through all of the directions and yet nothing seems to be working. If you can help me please reply.
Thanx

Which version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit?
Your only solution to sync with 64bit is via the Infra-red (IR) port on your Zire31...

Printer driver is not compatible with Vista

The software with my hp psc 1210 printer is incompatable with my new laptop with a Vista operating system. Loading this screws up my laptop shut down! How can I find a driver to download which suits Vista?

and why you post this here in forum for Toshiba notebook if your printer is not even a Toshiba product?
The driver for printer should be requested from the printer manufacturer and not from notebook/computer manufacturer.
I assume this is an older printer and the drivers were compatible only with Win XP and older.
So contact the printer manufacturer to get the drivers for Vista or Win 7
PS: How about these driver:

.CHM NOT compatible with Vista?

Hey everyone,
I'm working with a programming team to determine the best
Vista-compatible help format to use for an existing help project.
The project was built using RH X5 for Word and the original output
was WinHelp 2000. I thought that .CHM would be the logical (and
easiest) solution, so I got a copy of the help project and created
a "test" .CHM build using only one of the source Word files (I
"deselected" the remainder - there are 535 Word files with over
2,000 topics in the original project).
During testing, the programming team encountered the
following message when they tried to open the .CHM file on a Vista
machine. I'm pretty sure that they linked the .CHM file to the
supporting application.
Here's the message they sent me as a screenshot:
"Why can't I get Help from this program?
The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format,
which was used in previous versions of Windows and it is not
supported in Windows Vista.
For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe)
is no longer included with Windows (link) on the Microsoft support
website."
Any ideas about questions I can ask the programming team to
find a solution to this issue? Do I need to build the .CHM using
RoboHelp HTML and NOT RoboHelp for Word?
Thanks,
Jim

Dirk,
Thanks for the additional info. I'm meeting with the
Developer tomorrow am to see how the app, xml file, and .chm are
working together. I'll be sure to ask about the LoadLibrary. Is
this something specific to Delphi or is it/was it used for all apps
that linked to a .CHM? Found out late yesterday that they're using
Delphi 2005.

ITunes/iPod Not Compatible With Magix Muffin Music Finder?

It appears that Apple has bullet-proofed their software and does not play well . . or I should say, does not play at all with Magix Music Finder software: http://www.mufin.com/ At first I was upset with the Magix folks, but the more I looked into this, it appears that a recent Apple software update has blocked compatibility with Magix, not the other way around. *** is up with THAT? Does anyone know if there is a work-around?
I really like the Magix software . .. very easy to build play lists from your existing files on your PC or go out on the Web to find similar songs. Far easier than doing this within iTunes. If no one has a fix for this . . .could you recommend an alternative program that accomplishes the same thing?
T.Y.

Thank you, lllaass. Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information? Who is writing the review? It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews? I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device?

Toshiba Virual Sound not compatible with Vista

I got a toshiba sound preinstalled in my equium A110-276.. you know, that produce the HD audio output and SRS surround sound.. when i installed vista it doesnt work anymore.. so the sound is now just a normal sound not as good as the toshiba virtual sound.. i wonder if i can get it back.. like an update, or download a software..

Hi
Im not surprised!! This virtual sound utility works only with XP!
Some guys have already posted some statements about Vista and the Toshiba tools & utilities in your first posting.
At this time the Toshiba Vista tools and utilities are not available for download.
I have only found some drivers on the Toshiba Canada site.

Acrobat 9 Pro not compatible with Vista Ultimate

I am running Vista Ultimate and have Acrobat 9 Pro. When I print and choose "Adobe PDF Converter" as my printer I get the following error:
Interactive services dialog detection
Program(s) of devices(s) requesting attention.
Message title: Test Page.pdf Adobe Acrobat Pro
Program path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
Received: November 15 -08, 9:23:58 PM
This problem happens because of partial incompatibility with Windows Vista. Please contact the program of device manufacturer(s) for more information.
Once I acknowledge this the new .pdf file appears.
Do I have a setting wrong?
Thanks

I am having the same problem in Windows 7, did Adobe ever come up with a solution.
We recently upgraded our systems to Windows 7. Since the upgrade, the 'interactive services detection' dialog box opens every time I create a PDF file (I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro). Is there any way to correct this? Acrobat used to open when the file was created (WinXP), now I get the 'isd' box. It creates the file, but the dialog box comes up asking me to view the message. It takes me away from my desktop to view the file (goes to black screen and then displays the file) and I have to close the file in order to get back to my desktop (black screen then back to desktop). I was able to disable it by going into printer preferences and unchecking 'view adobe pdf results', but I would really like to be able to view my PDF's when they are created. (We had Adobe Acrobat Reader X installed initially on the system and then installed the full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, using AAP9 as the default program for pdf's. I don't remember if this problem has been occurring since we installed the full version or after Reader X was uninstalled (program was acting funny, so we uninstalled.) Any suggestions are appreciated.

Tecra S2: BIOS 1.3 is not compatible with Windows Vista

i just bought Windows Vist Ultimate and i tried to install it on my tecra S3 notebook and it said that i had to upgrade my bios. so i did upgrade to latest version found on the toshiba website (v1.3) but i got the same message please provide a bios upgrade which is vista compatible for my notebook or provide where i can find thge update.

Hi
The Toshiba driver site says the BIOS 1.3 for Tecra S2 was released on 19/06/2006
It seems its not a final Vista release and therefore its not compatible with Vista.
Unfortunately, everything looks like you have to wait with the Vista installation till the new BIOS version is released.

Tecra M5 BIOS not compatible with Windows Vista

Hi, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft and it reported that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am currently running version 1.7 - the latest available I think. Is Toshiba going to release a version that will be Vista compatible, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?
I forgot to mention that the machine is a UK M5 (PTM51E)
Many thanks,
David

David,
That's not the case. Whatever the results of the software advisor that you have run, you can install VISTA ok on your Tecra M5 PTM51E portable but obviously subject to you having purchased the license (full version or upgrade) from a local supplier, however, you will have to carry out a new (clean) installation of VISTA which means you would have to wipe your hard disk drive in the process. Obviously, making sure that you backup all of your data first to another system (or to external media) and be aware of the software that may/may not run correctly under VISTA before starting the process.
There's a new M5 BIOS released for your M5 which would then upgrade your existing 1.7 BIOS to the latest version.
The standard 512mb Tecra M5's run VISTA very well. No Toshiba software is available, however, maybe this will be released over time so you can adjust power settings and utilities as you can now under XPP.
After installing and registering/activating VISTA you will be prompted to install various updates (including an updated graphics driver and some patches.) Take these options and then your portable should work better. That said, even the standard VISTA installation works fine (AERO support appears to be improved on the new version plus it looks slightly more optimised and also runs a little quicker.)
If you are familiar with your portable, IT aware, and unsure of wiping your existing system totally, then you could also purchase a additional internal Toshiba SATA HDD kit for the Tecra M5 in order to try VISTA in the short time. Another internal 80gb/100gb HDD would give you the capability to try VISTA without losing all or your XP software and software/networking configurations, enabling you to move back to XPP should you have any (none-Microsoft) software or antivirus software issues stopping you from working after your installation of VISTA. I appreciate that there are costs associated but this would allow you to switch between XP and VISTA more easily (than wiping your current system, installing VISTA and then going back to XPP should any problems occur, not to mention the time savings that this could introduce !)
With VISTA, just take >>GREAT CARE<< with your software. Many (none- Microsoft) software applications have some issue(s) with VISTA because it is new. So, this may mean that you may have to purchase a software update in order to ensure that you have 100% compatibility with your favourite applications (or have to replace your existing software versions entirely with new ones.)
