Ipod Software Incompatible with Windows ME?

I get an error when I try to load my new iPod Shuffle software onto my home computer which has Windows ME. Is this version of windows not compatible with iPod software? Is there any option for me?

You must have Windows 2000 w/service pack 4 or XP w/service pack 2. Also it works with Vista (some have said they had problems...I have not). There are a lot of things that do not work with ME which is why ME had a short life (as far as being pushed on PC's or even pushed for individual upgrade sales). You will not be able to use iTunes on ME (as far as I am aware)....at least not iTunes 7 or later....which you will need for the 2nd gen nano. So you will not be able to download songs. As far as downloading from your PC to iPod without using iTunes....do a google search for the programs that sync iPods (Real Rhapsody is one I believe). You will not be able to update firmware or restore iPod if you run into any problems though without iTunes.

Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

It should still be compatible. Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps? Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager. See this article for details.

10.5.0.142 update incompatible with windows 7

I unfortunately updated my desktop (windows 7 32 bit) and laptop (windows 7 64 bit) to itunes 10.5.0.142. Update seems incompatible with windows 7. It has slowed both computers to a crawl, even when itunes not running. Itunes functions do not work or process at a dead crawl. Cannot access the store. Cannot sync iphone. Tried reinstalling previous itunes version, but previous version can't access itunes library, giving error message: "cannot access itunes library that was created by newer version of itunes." Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times. Have turned off all other processes to look for incompatibility, but issues remain. I am NOT PLEASED!.

Here is the link for that guyshttp://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ When your on this page, dont change the first option n 2nd option be Connect to the internet or networks and for 3rd option choose Automatically diagnose and fix common security setting on Windows. and run the software and enjoy itunes store.........

Adobe Photoshop Incompatible with Windows 7 ?

I typically do not have problems installing Microsoft products, Corel products, HP products, AV software, dozens of other companies products on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have never had problems installing Adobe products on ME, XP, Vista. However, every recent Adobe product I have purchased have failed to install on Windows 7 Home Premium and it typically takes support several hours to fix, if it can be fixed at all. It involves creating new accounts, disabling services, disabling the UAC, doing partial restarts (I did not even know those existed) and normal restarts, etc (I do have administrative rights on my account(s)).
Today I was working with customer support (taking control of my desktop). We did not succeed to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
During the installation a windows dialog box was displayed which stated that the Adobe installation .exe file was incompatible with Windows UAC.
There is clearly something wrong with the Adobe installer because Adobe products are the only products that cannot be installed.
Why is it so difficult tp install Adobe products on a Windows 7 system?
Does anyone know what is going on?
Is the Adobe installer really incompatible with Windows 7 as the Windows dialog box stated?
Thomas

Thank you for your help all three of you,
I finally succeeded to install.
I was using the downloaded version (not the DVD), I should have mentioned that. I did two things. I turned off the UAC (as suggested) and I moved the installation files from my user account folder where they were placed by default (I initially just accepted the default). The user account was protected despite my administrative rights, which is why install using setup.exe in the user account location failed. I have a feeling that I would not have had to turn off the UAC or move the files out of the user account folder if I had run as administrator. I'll remember that next time. It is funny customer support did not see this.
Anyway, now it is installed

PIXMA MX512 software incompatiblilty with Windows Live Mail

I recently bought a PIXMA MX512 and followed the instruction for installing the MX510 series software onto my 64 bit Windows 7 PC. Then I started randomly getting wlmail (Windows Live Mail) errors with messages that make no sense. I went back to a restore point before installing the software and the errors stopped. I conclude at least one of the drivers or utilities must be incompatible with Windows Live Mail. My Windows and virus protection is all up-to-date, and I have tried the Repair all on Windows Essentials 2012.
Does anyone else have experience with the MX510 series software while using Windows Live Mail. I guess my plan now is do another system restore and try adding just one piece of software at a time to see if I can figure out which has the conflict, unless someone here has run into this and knows another solution.

Hello.
Pleaes try downloading the latest MP Driver for the unit to see if this resolves your issue. The program can be downloaded at the following link:

Witch laptops are compatible/incompatible with windows XP/VISTA

Hi so i am planning on buying Apple MacBook or maybe PRO
i have a list of laptops that are served in our area:
Apple MacBook Pro MA895
Apple MacBook Pro MA610
Apple MacBook Pro MA611
Apple MacBook Pro MA897
Apple MacBook MB062
Apple MacBook MB063
and i need to know wich one of those are compatible or incompatible with Windows XP? please make a quick response
In advance thank you for your time

All of the "MacBook" laptops are compatible with XP/Vista.
One thing to note is that BootCamp is currently in the beta version (at least until when OS X Leopard comes out), so you may have some minor problems installing and running windows, but they should be fine.
Another thing to note is since Vista craves a lot of CPU, RAM, HD and graphics, I would suggest you going to a MacBook Pro. I have heard that Vista does not run smoothly on computers with less than 2 GB RAM, nor does all of its features render well if you don't have a 128 MB graphics card. Increasing the MacBook's RAM to 2 GB may also significantly increase the performance.
Either way, the option is yours. All of them should work out fine, with perhaps a couple of firmware updates

Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop. Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8? I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

Will Ipod Touch work with Windows 8

Will IPod Touch work with Windows 8? Why is that not even a listed option in the help feature?

Apple has just not got around to revising the documentation to reflect Win 8. Just use instructions for Win 7

Does the iPod Mini Work with Windows?

I am thinking of buying an iPod mini but I don't have an Apple computer. Does the iPod mini work with Windows efficiently? Thanks....

Hello Ian,
Can you be really specific about the necessary Windows XP updates needed? I run XP Pro on a rather new computer and just got an IPOD mini. I'm ready to tear my hair out because iTunes seems to crash my computer every time I change one CD for another. iTunes runs REALLY, REALLY slow for me. Also read on the board that iTunes 6.0 and the mini don't work well together. True or not true?
Thanks - Genevieve

Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

PPro 1.5 incompatible with Windows 7

I just upgraded laptops and have been eager to continue editing with Premiere Pro 1.5. However, the program will not upload and gets stuck during the initialization process at GPUPagecurl.aex. Is version 1.5 incompatible with Windows 7 and if so, is there a fix/patch?
Laptop specs: i7 chip 8G Ram dual quad processor @1.6 Ghz 1.6 Ghz and 64bit OS

Personal aside - I feel that the min. requirements are awfully low. They are basically enough to install the program, and launch it. Trying to edit anything with a min. system will be horribly painful, if even possible.
It is good that you read of the min. system requirements. I would not attempt to go with something below those.
Now, with about Photoshop CS, Adobe finally issued a min. video card statement for PS. It was 128MB VRAM min. I still ran PS CS for a few years on a Matrox G-450 64MB video card, without issues. Now, this is VASTLY different than CPU, RAM or HDD setup.
Good luck, and thanks for reporting, even if it was not good news. That will very likely help others with the same question.

Adobe Reader incompatible with Windows Internet Explorer 9

I recently installed the update for Windows Internet Eexplorer 9 on my laptop (Vista Home Premium) and have installed the latest Adobe Reader as well.
After installing Windows IE 9 I found that I was not able to view any letters etc online where Adobe Reader was required.
I tried all the suggestions in the associated help screen to no avail, so I finally 'uninstalled' the Windows I E 9 update and magically I was once again able to view online letters etc.
I am wondering why the latest Adobe Reader is incompatible with Windows I E 9?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Judith Matthews [email address removed by host]

I believe IE9 is not supported with Reader9, but everything should work as usual. I have both on my machine and am able to use them without any problem.
Try repairing Reader from Programs in Control Panel.
Kindly refer to System Requirement section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_9.5.pdf
