Nano and Vista issue

I've had my 1st gen nano for a while and it works great with Vista, including syncing with iTunes.
There is one minor issue that I haven't been able to resolve.
From within iTunes I am able to disconnect the iPod fine.
But frequently I use the 'Remove Mass Storage Device' utility in Vista (same as it was in XP) in the notification area of the task bar - see image here: http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2213/nanoju9.jpg.
When I do that, Vista tells me that it's safe to disconnect the iPod but the nano still displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message on the screen. My only option is to just disconnect anyway but I'm afraid I'll one day do damage to the nano disconnecting this way and lost data.
Has anyone experienced this? I've been able to reproduce this on Vista beta, RC1, RC2 and now with the full retail version. I never had this issue with XP.

I would suggest that you first see this article, which gives some suggestions for Vista users with iTunes/iPod:
iTunes and Windows Vista
If you're still having issues with compatibility, you might want to download the iTunes Repair Tool for Vista 1.0, which helps Vista and iTunes be compatible with one another.
There currently isn't an official iTunes update which will fully make this new OS compatible with iTunes, though. The article linked above says that "Apple recommends, however, that customers wait to upgrade Windows until after the next release of iTunes which will be available in the next few weeks."

The answer to iTunes and Vista issues...

After waiting for weeks for Apple to listen to all the posts about Vista and iTunes issues, I decided I could not wait any longer. I went out and bought Anapod Explorer which syncs music, video and photos effortlessly with Vista. This proves onc and for all that the iTunes issues with Vista are indeed iTunes issues, and Apple should feel ashamed that they are not supporting the vast majority of iPod owners out there who use Windows not Mac.
In the end, it's Apple's loss as now I do not use iTunes at all so will never be able to use the iTunes store. All Windows users should vote with their feet and stop using iTunes until Apple respects them a little more and works quickly to fix issues with Vista support.
If a small company like Red Chair Software can develop a product that works so well with Vista, how come Apple can't? I recommend Anapod 200% and at $30 it is a bargain.

Yay! This works and thanks for the suggestion to use the backed-up .itl library.
The only glitch I got after it finally launched is that iTunes said my computer was not authorized to play tunes. I had to use my last 5 of 5 authorizations. I only have 3 computers, but I've had this glitch before. Hope I never get it again.
Thanks to the forum, and uh... no thanks to Apple!

Please help, iPod Nano and iTunes issues

1. I can't update my iPod Product Red. I've downloaded the update, and when I click "update" in iTunes, it just sits there for hours saying its updating
2. The first time I start windows, connect my iPod Nano and then start iTunes (or even the other way around, start itunes then connect ipod), my nano doesn't show up in itunes. I need to restart the service after plugging in the nano every single time!
3. I cant restore my iPod Nano either, the same problem with the updating my ipod, the progress screen just goes back and forth for hours without doing anything, infact my nano just seems like it looses synch during both an update and a restore, because the do not disconnect message on the screen goes away once either update or restore process is started.
Please help! This is my first ipod purchase and so far it is really disappointing me and frustrating, thanks

Ipod nano and Vista; no driver?

New computer with Vista Home Premium... when connect ipod nano it says no drivers. Tried going to the net etc. no answers about where to get a driver to download. Can anyone help?

Don't have Vista, but in reading other posts here they have said just tell it you don't have a disk and let Vista select and driver and load it. You can use the Search Discussions area to the right to learn more.

Xserver and Vista Issues

I'm running a mac server with half mac half pc. I got a new pc that is running Vista Business. I need to join it with our domain, but for the life of me it won't. I can see the other pc's when I go to network & sharing and I can access public drive, but when I try and join the pc to the domain I get an error message. It tells me the specified domain either does not exist or could not
be contacted. Please someone tell me what might be causing this/

You could look to re-load the Windows Vista system with Windows XP software (or replace the PC with a Mac and with Mac OS X and Bootcamp as and when needed), and operate in a more familiar environment.
(There's a good chance this approach will work.)
Or try this: set Windows Vista to the "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated", and away from the apparent default "NTLMV2 responses only" setting. To get to this particular Windows knob, "run secpol.msc" to get to the settings, look under local policies, then security settings.
(Let us know if this works.)
Finding and loading Samba 3.0.22 or later also apparently fixes this issue, too. (Up until Windows Vista arrived, not much actually used NTLMv2...)
Some related reading material on NTLM is here, if you're interested:

PSE8 and Vista Issues

Considering purchasing PSE8 but have heard ealier versions had large issues w/ Vista. Especially the organizer applications. Is this problem been fixed? From the discussions it looks like this product is not as user friendly when troubleshooting problems. Thanks!!!

PSE versions 6, 7, and 8 are problematic on all versions of Windows. There is nothing about Vista in particular that causes problems for PSE 8 (as compared to XP or Windows 7).

My Nano and VISTA

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone can help me out with this one. When I plug my Nano into my 32 bit Vista computer, it says:
"Itunes has detected an IPOD that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this IPOD before it can be used with Itunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the IPOD."
However, when I plug it in to my computer which runs XP, it works perfectly.
Have tried:
Reconecting the IPOD
Uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes
Restoring the IPOD
Putting the IPOD in manual mode using XP
Updating random drivers on my computer
Any ideas what I could do to fix this problem?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

still having a problem with this if anyone can lend me a hand...

Firefox and Vista Issues

Hello ...
I have two questions and would really appreciate some advice.
(1) Could someone tell me whether I should be using an older version of Firefox (if one is still available) since I have Vista?
I have numerous issues with the latest version of Firefox, and have had issues with some of the other more recent versions: the web page freezes, Firefox crashes multiple times, pages are held up when loading (sometimes for quite a while), I get messages about scripts running, the system runs slowly, et cetera.
I am wondering if perhaps the newer versions/updates of Firefox are not compatible with Vista? Should I be using an earlier version?
(2) Right now, I am receiving a message saying "Error loading player. No playable sources found" when I try to view a web cam on Firefox. This is a web site and web cam that I have used daily for months with no problem. I do have Flash Player installed (at least, I think it is still installed. It does show up in my list of programs on my computer). Do I need some sort of plug-in?
Thank you very much for any advice or information.

so for your first question you can do the following steps they will probably help you to resolve your problem:
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it to submit the report.
note: it is advisable not to take screenshots you Copy that ID's instead of taking screenshots.
The answer to your second question:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

Xcelsius 2008 and Vista Issues

Hi All,
I'm using Live Office(XIR2) to live connect the data to the dashboard. Four objects are imported from Webi via Live office and one of the objects is table with 400+rows. the excel has some calculations on the raw data and the size of excel is around 450kb.
When I try to export the XLF file with the imported excel and about 12 components(in the VISTA OS) the xcelsius program is automatically stopped after some time and hence cannot generate the swf. At times the exporting is causing my system to crash.
Is this a problem of the complex excel, LO connectivity or Xcelsius instability with Vista? Any thoughts?

Don't think you have to go through that process. Make sure you have the right format in the embedded excel (Right click on the cell-> format cells), and then just bind the component again.
Regards

IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
Biggest Issue:
I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The Bluescreen error code on my error code reader).. This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter. I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy.. Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
Minor Issues (but could be related)
1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue... Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..

Look in your Settings > App Manager.
Tap Device Monitor.
Tap the Battery tab.
At the upper right, tap "Since Last Charge" to change to "Last 48 Hours".
What apps or processes are consuming the most battery power?

Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

Hi,
I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
Thanks

I can't eject ("files in use by another application") Windows/Vista Issue?

OK... so in the grand scheme of things, this really is NOT the end of the world... but it sure is super-annoying!! This is my first every Apple product (took a while to get on the bandwagon) and I was hoping for more stability and ease of use... I've called AppleCare several times and they can't help me figure this out... according to them it's a Windows/Vista issue (which DOES seem likely). I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension E521.
Here's how it goes... I plug my iPod in, which opens up iTunes and it syncs fine. I wait until the top of iTunes says "sync complete" and the face of the iPod simply says "Connected". Then I click on the "eject" button next to the iPod listing in iTunes. It pauses for a moment, then I look down and the iPod suddenly has those syncing, circular arrows, moving again and it says "Synchronizing- do not disconnect". And then a few moments later, iTunes gives me a pop-up that says " XXXX ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application"
So obviously, something else is connecting to the iPod and preventing me from ejecting it using iTunes, but I have not been able to figure out what it is!
Since it's something on my machine, I have tried the following:
- shut down AntiVirus (TrendMicro Internet Security 2008)
- turned off Windows Firewall
- went through all the programs running in the task bar and turned them off
- opened up Task Manager and turned EVERYTHING else I could see off
None of the above have made any difference. The workaround that Apple gave me was to go into Computer and then right click on the listed drive and select "Safely Remove" which usually works (the times it doesn't work, it gives a similar message saying the device was being used by another application and can't be removed, try again later). But 90% of the time it works.
I use that or the Eject option when I right click on that drive (not sure the difference, they seem to do the same thing). The workaround works, but I'd sure LOVE to get iTunes to be able to eject my iPod!!
Here's what I've done regarding this iPod and iTunes:
- reset the iPod
- restored the iPod
- uninstalled and re-installed iTunes
- selected and unselected the various things I'm syncing (currently: Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos) to see if it was one of them causing the issue
NONE of the above has made any difference (and I've done each about 2-3 times, ZERO exaggeration).
I've called into AppleCare about half a dozen times now, hoping to get that one brilliant tech that knows more than the others... but no luck yet... so I thought I'd try this forum to see if one of the brilliant posters here can help me sort this out.
PLEASE- ANY help you can provide (or even just point me in the "right" direction of how to determine this) would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks so much in advance,
SC

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3
http://www.dcgdcreative.com
Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
Whats the deal?

P1006 - networked with XP and VIsta-64 not printing more than 2 pages

Hello - I have a dilemma with my HP P1006. I have the printer directly plugged in (USB) with my XP (32bit) PC. I have a Vista-64 PC networked with it. Both (XP-32 and Vista-64) are plugged in directly to the router (not wireless). My question is why can I not print more than two pages at a time with items opened on the Vista-64 PC? I CAN print more than two pages with items opened in the XP-32.
Things I've done:
1 - uninstalled everything & reinstalled the latest drivers for the XP-32.
2 - marked the printer as "sharing" on the XP-32.
3 - confirmed the printer is marked "enable bidirectional sharing" under the printer properties on the XP-32 PC.
Things I perplexed about:
1 - why won't items (docs, webpages, etc.) print more than two pages at a time from the Vista-64 PC?
2 - is there any reason that I should download a driver for the Vista-64 OS? If so, which PC do I download it to?
3 - I have another printer (Lexmark inkjet) connected in the same way (except it is a serial port not USB) and it can print more than two pages of a document at one time with no problem from either the XP-32 or Vista-64 PC? Why?
Any thoughts on this situation? Any suggestions are greatly appreciate.
Thank you - Jane.

Hi!
I just get a system message at teh bottom of teh screen saying "output cannot be issued " and it remains on teh same screen . I goto t-code va23 and enter my quotation number and on the top I select sales document ...issue output and select my output type and print preview or prnit , it comes out of that screen into the first screen and at the bottom gives msg "Output cannot be issued". I beleiev its not allowing the smartform to display when there are more than 2 pages , because I tried it with a contact which has 2 pages and it shows output but when I try with the one having more items i.e more than 2 pages it comes out of it . Its a smartform issue and something in the smartform is causing problem I beleive.
Thanks
