Is iPod Classic compatible with Windows 7 64-bit?

My old iPod Classic just died and I'm looking to buy another one, but on the Apple Store the technical specs say the OS requirement for PC's is:
"Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7"
Does that mean they're not supposed to be used with 64-bit editions of Windows 7? My old one had been running on it with no problems.

Hi adc 1966!
I have one at work that runs on Windows 7 64bit, no problem. It's a couple of years old, but Apple has not come out with a new iPod Classic since I got it, so you should be fine getting a new one. Hope this helps!

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.

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.)

No, the iPod classic has no means of connecting to Wi-Fi, thus making it incompatible with iCloud.

How do i know if my itunes is compatible with windows 64 bit?

Did you download the 64-bit installer?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Is ipod shuffle compatible with windows xp (sp2)?

Please tell me, is ipod shuffle compatible to windows xp service pack 2???????

If it's a 4G Shuffle, then no. You need at least SP3 installed in order for it to work properly. See this page for the minimum requirements.
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html
Same thing goes for a 3G Shuffle as well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP510
That means only a 1G or 2G Shuffle will work with your system.

IPod Classic - ok with Windows, not with iTunes

Hi,
I have a Classic 160GO iPod.
Suddenly this problem appeared :
- no music or pictures were recognized by my iPod, but the disk space was used for "Other"
- this iPod is not known with iTunes
- This iPod is known as a removable hard disk, via Windows 7 (Main computer), Windows XP (secondary computer), a linux thing (a friend computer).
1. I already checked this iPod with the diagnostics mode (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/19048752#19048752)
result is :
- reallocs : 0
- Pending sectors : 32
My understanding is that my iPod hard disk is ok and valid.
2. I followed most of the recommended way to repaird the iPod as per Support (8 out of 10)
NOthing is working.
I confirm I have installed the latest version of iTunes.
3. I read the following page : https://discussions.apple.com/message/19158071#19158071 to find the relevant firmware.
But the iPod Classic 160GO is not in the list.
My questions
--> Do you have an idea to solve my problem ?
--> What could happend i I format my iPod with windows ? It would be only a hard disk after, wouldn't it ?
--> I f I format, is there a solution to re-install the iPod software (= firmware ?)
Thank you for your help.

The iPod hardisk is looks new from the Reallocs and ON Hours, but, it is rebooting more to get the correct spin for data verification, causing tImeouts, so the Pending Sector will increase.
There maybe something, near the iPod environment, that is causing the drive to fail, and overheat, if it has not already been damaged, or maybe it is just one Hardisk, that slipped through poor quality control.
You can bring the Retract, Realloc and pending number low, by doing low level format, see this article, but your problem of Hardisk rebooting to find a good cluster, wont go away
Just my thoughts.
Magnets are the primary cause of hardisk crashes, I would also suspect, using your handphone, while it is near the iPod would also be bad, see the YouTube video on hardboiled eggs using handphone.

Is iPod Classic compatible with existing accessories?

I was thinking of purchasing an iPod Classic but I noticed that, when you shop for accessories in the Online Apple Store, many of the accessories that are listed as compatible with the 5G Video iPod are not listed as compatible with the iPod Classic. Two accessories concern me most: my Bose SoundDock and my Sonic 55 video playback system.
Is it the same universal connector and does it handle video in the same manner (in other words, do I still have to enable TV Out on my iPod Classic and, when I do, will the video still play on the Sonic 55's larger screen like with my 5G Video iPod?)
I phoned the Apple Store and asked the rep this question, but all he did was look it up in the store like I did and then he said, "I guess it's not compatible."
I think it would be a big mistake on Apple's part if this update made existing accessories unusable.
Has anybody had any hands on with this issue?
Thanks in advance

I bought a g5 video ipod compatible Belkin Tune-Talk today (microphone) .... It doesn't work.
Virtually no accessories (accept apple-made products) function with the classic. The folks at Belkin said they were blind-sided with this release (i.e. not given any non-disclosure agreement to sign in order to develop new, compatible accessories for a simultaneous roll-out with the new Apple products). So, they are now scrambling at Belkin, as every other vendor is. It will take weeks or months before this mess is sorted out. Even the Apple store "geniuses" were flying in the dark ("yeah go ahead and buy the Tune-talk, the video ipod stuff will work with the classic"), and so was Apple tech support (some nice, but outsourced Indian-sounding fellow answered who had no idea what was going on=deer in the headlights syndrome).
MACNN.com reports that the problem rests with vendor products not being able to establish screen control over the new Apple products. I can confirm that from my own experience.
Now I have to go back to the store and return this useless accessory, which takes time off my life and lowers the joy quotient of purchasing Apple ... and all this simply because somebody in charge of the roll out never thought of informing Apple "geniuses" that accessories are broken (which could have been accomplished through a simple form lettered faxed or e-mailed to each store manager).
Good luck all!

IPOD NANO compatible with Windows Media Player????

Hey guys,
I realize this may be a really dumb posting but I'm looking at purchasing a iPod Nano but my concerns are about how you load your music onto the ipod. I currently have all my music in my Windows Media Player but the ipod webiste says that I have to use the iTunes program. Any information or clarification would be greatly appreciated as I debate such a large purchase! Thanks!
Windows XP

Ok, I am definitely very technologically challenged, and I got a nano for christmas, and I have no idea how to get my music files from windows media player to itunes. I use limewire, which then puts all files in Media player, but my roomie accidentally deleted all my music from limewire, so now all that is in my itunes is all the music he downloaded from limewire after he deleted the library. Please help!!! I really wanna use my nano!!
Thanks

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Is iPod compatible with windows media player 11?

Hello, is iPod compatible with windows mediaplayer 11?

No. iPods are to iTunes. Other PMPs are to WMP. You'll have to import your songs into iTunes to transfer them to the iPod. iTunes is better anyways, but thats only my opinion.
