Need driver for iPod video and Windows Vista

I had an iPod video and it synched no problem to my computer. There was a hardware issue inside the iPod so i sent it back and got a new one. Now when I connect it to my computer, it brings up the looking for a driver window and says it can't find it. Its only been a week since it worked fine.. I don't know if there is an issue with the new iTunes or what but has anyone had any experience with this issue or can simply tell me where to directly download or find the driver?

I too have had a problem with needing a driver for ipod. My ipod was working fine, then my computer stopped recognizing the ipod. It says it needs a driver for the ipod and I can't find one anywhere...need help..please

I have a ipod video and windows vista. computer locks up

I have computer that is running windows vista 32-bit. Everytime I use itunes I keep getting error messages and I will get the blue screen and the computer restarts. I have updated to itunes 7.3 and my ipod has software version 1.2.1 on it. Any help? I have been running vista for over 3 months and no issue with any other software just itunes.

I am not on a network. The I have a few usb things that are connected but they are only connected at the time I use them. I have a usb printer, tomtom, and a car computer that connects to the laptop. I only have the printer connected when I am printing, the tomtom is only connected when I am updating software, the car computer when I am tuning my car computer. Every time I connect to the ipod it is the only thing that is connected to the pc. I haven't had a problem with any other hardware/software then entire time until I bought the ipod and installed itunes. All the other software and hardware still doesn't give me any problems when I am printing, updating the tomtom, or tuning my car computer. The only problems are while I am using Itunes.

IPod Touch and Windows Vista 64bit

I got a new IPod Touch and when I try to connect it I get a window with this message:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes"
Where is the 64-bit version!!!!!!!!

No 64 bit version yet. I got multiple iPod Touch devices for my family for Christmas last month from the Apple store. I asked in the store if they would work with 64 bit Vista and was told yes. The box says Vista. I'm considering trying to get them to take them all back, since all my machines in my house are Vista 64 bit.
To the people that point at the iTunes compatibility list: well, that's not printed on the side of my iPod box, and was told by the Apple guys it would work.
To the people that say 64 bit Vista doesn't work with many programs: Find me one. As all of my companies 383 apps certfied on it, and everything I run at home works just fine.
It's been out OVER a year (XP 64 bit has been around for YEARS). Come on Apple! Give us a 64 bit driver!

Can i use time capsule as external hard drive for both mac and windows

I have a mac book pro, ipad and iphone and ipod and a windows pc
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?

You cannot access the TC from iOS devices without a browser. eg filebrowser.
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?
Yes, with the following proviso.. the TC is not able to back itself up.. so if you store files on the TC without backups one day you will discover all your files are gone because of a hard drive failure of the TC. TM also cannot backup TC.. so you will need to buy a proper backup software.
It is also much slower than a real NAS..
And windows can be a bit painful.. especially windows 8.. other versions should work if you spend the time getting everything set right.

Do IPod Video and Windows XP HP Labtop go together?

I wanted to know if my HP Labtop can handle itunes. Last time my computer got really slow (laggy) and i had to reformat it. Its back to normal but im not sure if i can put itunes back on my laptop if its going to cause the same problem.
P.S. I dont want to waste my ipod video of 60 GB and i havent had it for a year yet.

Just tossing in my experience quickly:
Ever since I "upgraded" to v7 of iTunes, my iPod (60G w/Video) hasn't been recognized, same as Rebecca. Also my TransFlash memory cards aren't recognized, either. I went through many steps listed in these forums, to no avail; I even did a repair install of Windows. I have noticed in my Device Manager the following: a yellow exclamation point beside "parport" and "serial". (Right-click "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices) For both of these entries, under their properties, it says this: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)" I haven't found much info surfing the net as of yet... I hope this info helps a bit. Don't mean to hijack, here, either. But in my opinion the new iTunes upgrade corrupts the windows registry somehow, as this story of mine seems to be quite prevalent...

IPod Mini and Windows Vista RC1

Ok, so I connect my mini to my Vista RC1 machine (FULL PC, not BootCamp), then went to bed. A few minutes later, the mini's screen lights up like I just connected it to the machine, then the main ipod folder opens up like it was set to hard-drive mode. For some reason, the iPod keeps reconnecting to the computer. I can't figure out how to stop it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello pc1971,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried some of the basics such as plugging it into different USB ports on your computer or try a different USB Connector Cable?
Maybe try resetting the device with it connected to your system. To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, and then press and hold the Menu and Select (Center) buttons together for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Otherwise, I would continue working through the recommend troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document.

Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

Maybe you got mega bucks, but for me throwing money at at Thunderbird drive is STUPID.
How many times a day are you cloning your 200GB drive? Must be several times a day.
I'm all for getting the fastest computer with the most HP, but for backup money I'm going with USB external drive. I probably should state that I run my Time Machine about once a week.

I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

IPod and Windows Vista

Hi,
if i connect my iPod to my Windows Vista PC teh CPU usage goes up to 100%. The process svchost take nearly all the processortime.
iTunes and iPod are up to date.
I getting mad about that. With Win XP i don not have these probs.
Any ideas about that ?
Greetings Admiral

I take it that you're a developer.
It is likely that your iPod may not work with Windows Vista (hasn't it still not been properly been released?) - anyway, Try the Microsoft Forums aswell.
hmmmmm
You don't really need a driver to use a driver to get a Windows XP computer to work with an iPod. Same goes probably for the Windows Vista.
So, try getting the iPod Updater.
Restore & Update your iPod, then try it with iTunes.
Has your iPod been used with any other operating systems? e.g. Windows XP??? or is it just Windows Vista?

I have an Ipod Touch 5th Geneation and Windows Vista. Unfortunately, everytime I plug in my Ipod, it changes my monitors display (resolution and bit from a 32 down to an 8) How can I prevent this from happening everytime? I am unable to read my screen

I have an Ipod Touch 5th gen and I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium. Unfortunately, everytime I plug in my ipod, my screen resolution changes and i go down to an 8 bit from 32...on its own. I can I prevent this from happening every time I plug it in to my pc?

All I can suggest is:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

You can also try rolling back the driver for your video card.

I need driver for the HDR-SR5 for windows 7

I need driver for the HDR-SR5 for windows 7

I used the Vista driver on Win 7 preinstalled notebook and it did work.
I have no idea what A200 notebook model you have but in my case the driver was called:
Flash Media Driver 2.0.0.6
This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot. This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.

Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Hey Don,
What exactly happens after you install iTunes? Do you see an error message?
This article describes device filter issues that can be caused by application conflicts:

Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you, Debra
