Ipod recognise as iPhone Windows Vista

Just got my iTOuch, and plugged it it.Itunes says please use vista 32 bit or XP 32 bit for iphone.I have Itoucch on vista 64 bit.Can anyone help please?

Hey... Sorry to break the news... I had the same problem... Can sync the touch with vista 64 as of right now. It's hard to imagine that it will never work but right now it's a waiting game.
What I did is run VMware and installed an old version of xp. The touch syncs fine with it. I'm using the workstation version but the free server version of vmware should work as well. Then you gotta copy your music into the virtual machine.
Right now it's a pain in the ***... but it can be done. Lots have people have just been taking the Touch or Iphone back. Word of mouth is the Ipod Classic and new nano's work without a problem on x64.

Ipod nano 4gb and ipod video 80g with windows vista

hello! i've been trying (rather unsuccessfully) to sync the ipod nano to my laptop which has windows vista OS. i have the latest itunes 7.2 (just updated today from 7.1) and i always get the "found new hardware" pop-up everytime i plug the ipod nano via usb port. i also did the 5r's, but still the computer cannot and will not detect any software. i even downloaded the softwareupdater28-06-2006.exe but it will not run because it's superseded by itunes 7. my friend has an ipod video 80gb and i tried connecting it too, same thing popped up. both ipods do not show in "my computer" so i cannot even backup my songs! ah well. i just need to get the driver for the ipod i suppose. please help, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

i have been having the same problem. My laptop was upgrade to windows vista and worked perfectly fine with my ipod and with others which had previously been used with the computer when it was running XP. My IPOD unfortunately crashed and need to be replaced. I brought it back to the laptop and connected it. it was not recognised but the others still are!
I have been looking on the internet and you are the only other i can find who is suffering this problem. i have looked in device manager and the new ipod is recognised as a 'other device', whereas the ipod that still works is classed as a 'portable device'. i have looked at the drivers and tried to install them by copying the drivers on the original ipod, but have not succeded. Since updating itunes to 7.2 i have been getting a 'do not disconnect' message on the ipod but it still does not appear in the sources list in itunes.
I have tried everything and am about to give up please HELP!
Someone somewhere must know a way around this........ as the London apple store "has never heard of this problem"

Syncing iPod with iTunes using Windows Vista

I bought my iPod last December and had an Hp Laptop using Windows Xp. Recently I bought a new computer that has Windows Vista on it and since then I can't sync my iPod. iTunes won't recognise that it's even connected. I have transfered all my music and have the latest version of itunes available. Is there something else I have to download to make my iPod syc up? Please help!

It should be working fine. Perhaps your cable has gone bad or the USB port has waffled. Hard to say without trying a few different things.

IPod Shuffle Error (-48) : Windows Vista

Hoping someone can help with my predicament here:
I have Windows Vista Ultimate and the most recent version of iTunes. I bought the shuffle new about 2-3 months ago. When I connect my shuffle it always gives me the error in the screenshot below and prompts me to format the device as well. It will also do this each time a song changes if I am listening to the songs on the iPod through iTunes. When transferring songs to the iPod it prompts me with these pop-ups for each song that is loaded.
I have tried to search for that error code and have not had any luck. Has anyone run into this issue before.
All software is up-to-date: Windows/iTunes/Shuffle Firmware
Thanks for any feedback!
Here is a screenshot of the errors:

Hi, I would suggest you to try Temporarily changing the Time Zone setting and then Open the latest version of iTunes and Restore your iPod. After successfully restoring your iPod, change the Time Zone back to your normal setting.
Hope this works.

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183
Good luck!

Syncing iPod in iTunes with Windows Vista

I have the latest version of iTunes.
I upgraded from XP to Vista.
iTunes was syncing my iPod fine before the upgrade.
After I upgraded, iTunes worked fine (although taking up a huge amount of RAM) but syncing my iPod happened like this:
iTunes would recognize the iPod and seem to start syncing but would just sit for 30 to 40 minutes, iTunes extremely slow. Then, after 45 minutes, iTunes would finally begin syncing and finish in a normal time.
It's been like this for a month now and I'm going crazy.
I'm really dissapointed, not only because Apple took forever to release an update to iTunes that would work with Vista, but also because the update barely fixed anything.
I'm not even going to bother wasting my time calling customer support.
Any sort of assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Dell XPS 410 | Windows Vista | 60GB 5G iPod

iTunes does not yet support Windows Vista. There are numerous problems running iTunes on it. The latest release of iTuens 7.1 fixed some of them but not all.

Ipod 160GB showing in Windows Vista OS as Removable Disk, not appearing in iTunes (latest version). How can I resolve?, Ipod 160GB showing in Windows Vista OS as Removable Disk, not appearing in iTunes (latest version). How can I resolve?

My Ipod 160GB when disconnected is showing without any files, but no room available. It appears in my 'Computer' screen as 'Removable Disk (though the icon is a little iPod). It does not show up in iTunes at all (I have the latest version).
When I right-click the icon on the 'Computer' screen it does run incredibly slowly. I was doing this to consider if I should try formatting it (only NTSF and exFAT formats were showing) but I wasn't certain if that would be a good idea.
I have thus far:
Hard Reset iPod
Verified the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver was installed correctly via Device Manager
Checked the device in 'Computer Management' > 'Disk Management - showing as a RAW file with only format option as exFAT or NTSF
Ran iPod in Diagnostic Boot Mode - IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* - stats revealed 'Error' (did this twice to confirm error). Reset iPod from here.
After this it actually came up in iTunes but said it needed to be restored - ran Restore iPod. Error message said 'iPod cannot be restored. Uknown error occoured (1415).
Tried Solution 1 (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539) - Reregistering the .dll files. Was unable to complete step 11 as the iPod did not appear in iTunes.
Verified that Apple Mobile Device Manager was installed.
Restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service.
Checked for third party conflicts - couldn't find any.
Changed the drive letter and restarted the computer.
Put into disk mode - unsure what that achieves.
Downloaded the HP USB with no luck running the program. I believe that Windows Vista doesn't allow formatting drives to FAT32 at all, and even previous editions of Windows wouldn't allow formatting above 32GB so certainly no suitable for me. If I got hold of a mac computer - could I format on that? Or is there a FAT32 Formatter that works for 160GB?
So I am at a bit of a frustrated loss. If you have any suggestions or know what I should do - I am all ears or eyes as it were. I will be on standby to give you more information if required.
Thanks,
Ashley

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also see these (if you haven't found them already):
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes

Ipod will sync on windows vista but not xp

Hi, my ipod classic will sync to a pc running windows vista but wont sync to a pc running windows xp, has anyone got any ideas as to why this would be or how it can be overcome please.

Yes its all up to date, it used to connect to my laptop running vista but my laptop died so i moved my libary across to an old pc bunning xp but it just wont sync and doesnt show up when i run the diagnostics, but when i tried it on a friends laptop running vista it synced her entire libary (over 2500 songs) straight away.

Ipod not recognized my Windows vista or itunes

I have an older click wheel ipod (2004) and I recently got a new computer with vista. Since then I have not been able to sync my ipod because it does not register as being connected. All of the songs I had on it worked just fine through the head phones and the dock, and so in my desperation (following the 5 Rs) I tried to restore it. I synced my ipod with a mac and it restored just fine, then I synced it with my pc and it actually recognized it?!! I went through the restore, and that worked, but I could not transfer songs to it. I just went from having a mostly working ipod, to one that seems to work with no songs on it. Arrgh. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Do either of these help?
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
Is the software up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, if you have a 4G iPod, why post in the iPod nano forums?

ITunes has stopped Working when using Ipod shuffle 3gen on Windows Vista HB

Itunes keeps shutting down when I insert my Ipod shuffle into the usb connection of my latop. I am using a Windows Vista Home Basic for an OS.
Not sure if this is a Vista, Apple issue, or something else...
I have contacted apple about this and uninstaled/reinstalled Itunes. Yet after all this, I get the same error message. The message reads:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
As far as I know Vista should be compatible with iTunes and it is until I actually try to use my shuffle (newest model). Its weird because my shuffle works fine on a second computer that has Windows XP for an OS...
Does anyone have a solution to this??
Thanks in advance!

i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)

TS1538 Unable to see iPod Touch 2G in Windows Vista Unless User is Admin

Problem: Newly acquired iPod Touch 2G cannot be recognized as a device on a Vista 64-bit system unless the user is logged in as an admin. Then it is recognized correctly and able to work in iTunes. Obviously, having the user logged in as an admin defeats the purpose of administrative tools. We've tried every article recommendation in the knowledgebase, including a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes as the last step. We did this while she was logged in as an admin to make it easier, and sure enough, everything worked perfectly. Now she is logged in under her normal profile but the iPod is not recognized. What else is recommended? We can't have her logged in as an admin all the time just to sync up her iPod. Help!

Have you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
including:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Tried another cable
Tried another computerto help determine if yo have an iPod or computer problem.

My iPod cannot work with Windows Vista

I've updated iTunes to version 7.1.1.
But my computer is hung up when I connected my iPod to it. I can do nothing except restart the computer and disconnect iPod from it.
Can anyone tell me why?
HP v7058hk Other OS OS is Widows Vista Home Premium

Hi David!
Are you getting a blue screen of any sort when the computer locks up?
If so, please quote what it says (if a file is mentioned in the BSOD, quote what that says, too).
If you are only getting a flash of a blue screen, or you aren't getting anything, you can switch your settings here, and see if you can make a hidden blue screen show:
1 - Go to "My Computer" in a Windows Explorer window.
2 - Right-click on "My Computer", and click on Properties.
3 - Go to the "Advanced" tab, click on "Settings" under the "Startup and recovery" section.
4 - Verify that "Automatically restart" is not selected.
As a general troubleshooting step, let's try a full reinstall of iTunes on your computer.
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.
