IPod Shuffle (Or any for that matter) on Windows Vista

I have just got a new laptop with Vista pre loaded on it, I have been having trouble installing just about everything on it due to the fact that no drivers seem to exist or work? But I have recently tried to use my iPod and that does not seem to work either, windows cannot find the driver on the computer, driver disc or internet.
Has anyone managed to get their iPod Shuffle (or any as as soon as I get mine to work i'll have to fix my fiancee's) to work, and if so how did they do it?
Please reply if you have the same problem and have not sorted it yet so I know that other people are struggling too and I am not doing anything stupid.
Cheers
Darren

I have managed to get this working myself, you just plug the iPod in, let the auto detection run and detect then not find the driver for it. Click the locate the driver yourself button, choose the root of the drive you OS is on and after a while it locates it and installs it, you have to repeat the step 4 times for differeing things from a mass media storage device through the apple iPod and to a couple of unknown devices but eventually it finishes and itunes seems to reconise it.

TS4062 I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. Any other suggestions?

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

When will OS X Lion be compatible with Avid's Pro Tools 9, or any Pro Tools for that matter?

When will OS X Lion be compatible with Avid's Pro Tools 9, or any Pro Tools for that matter?

There's less money to be made from compatibility than there is from "forced upgrades." Why would AVID be concerned with their older product working with the new OS when they can release another version for people to pay $250+ for? Free bug-fix download vs. latest software upgrade? You've got two companies with virtual monopolies on the pro audio market. It's a win-win for them.
So what does that say to me about the handful that do not? The incompatibility is a marketing decision, not a shortcoming.
Am I close?

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!!

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed?

That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $10

"iTunes 7.6 or later is supported with any 64-bit edition of Windows Vista.

"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 Shuffles will work! No more returning them to Apple!

I can now setup iTunes on my 64 bit Windows Vista. I've also brought over my library via the home network from my old Windows XP computer (although I needed to use Add folder to Library as the songs were not automatically recognised in the library). However, I can't get the i-Pod to load. At first I got a message saying that I needed to download a driver and now there is no recognition of the iPod at all when I connect. Is there anything I can do?

IPod Touch gives BSOD with iTunes 8 and Windows Vista

For almost a year I have used my iPod Touch (v1.1.3) and Nano with Windows Vista and iTunes almost perfectly. This was until last week when I upgraded to v8.
Now iTunes still works well with the Nano but i get the BSOD when I try and plug in the Touch. I have never had the BSOD with Vista until now.
I have read that alot of other people are having a similar problem. Is there a fix to this? New driver?
Please tell me Apple are aware of this problem and generating a fix if its not already done.
many thanks

I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
(serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )

HT2553 My ipod classic 160gb cannot be synced by my windows vista. the library is copied alright but cannot be synced into the ipod; HELP! !

My ipod classic 160gb cannot be synced by my windows vista computer. The library is copied alright, but the ipod cannot be synced; Help! How can I overcome this, please?

Hi, Chris,
I mean, when I load my itune library as usual and the syncing starts, I get the problem as described as follows;
When I try to sync, I see the songs being copied then I get a message, say after about 45minutes, that, itunes cannot read the ipod contents because the ipod data drive is corrupt. I have tried different things to no avail. It is very fraustrating, and if I may say so, very disturbing.
I hope somebody can help me, for I can see now that, many people have got similar problems and they haven't been able to solve. I understand this is a common ipod problem and many people have had to abandone their ipods after such problems. It is very hurting because ipods are very expensive to buy, and so to write it off like that is very dis-heartening.
