New 30gig and Windows Vista, need help!

My wife bought me a 30gig for father's day and I can't get it to work. I have a dell laptop with vista and I have tried numerous things. When I plug the ipod in, the computer has no rpoblem recognizing it at all. So once I'm in Itunes it starts to sync, but it gets to 300 or so songs copied and just stops, locks everything up, including internet, itunes, ipod, everything.....I've looked many times to make sure it wasn't the same song everytime and its not, I've downloaded Itunes 2 or 3 times, I've downloaded the latest updates (vista requires version 7.0 or greater), I've tried all of the USB ports (sides and back) and nothing seems to work. I've also downloaded the latest vista updates to no avail. It seems as though a lot of people that have vista are having the same problems, can anyone help???

I am faced with this same exact problem, however, I was able to update my iPod ONCE, when my computer didn't freeze, but since then it has continued to lock up. Oddly though, after I was able to update my iPod, only iTunes locks up, so I am still able to listen to the song I had started playing, move the mouse around and attempt to switch to other programs, which doesn't always work.
I've heard that turning your iPod off in the process of connecting it (Center+Menu) can help, but it hasn't fixed my issue, so could someone please help us out here?

  • ITunes 1.6 and Windows Vista 64bit Help

    I have not been able to use iTunes properly since I got a new computer with Vista 64bit. I can play music, browse iTunes Store and watch Video, but the problem comes when I try to attach my iPod Touch or try burning a CD. With the last version, it seemed that 64bit windows Vista was not supported so I just decided to wait for an upgrade. I download iTunes 1.6 from Apple.com and try to install and it says I need the 64bit iTunes Installer. Did I miss the download for it?
    This is the error message I get...
    This iTunes Installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. It is Highly recommended that you download and install the 64-bit iTunes Installer instead.
    All I need is a Link to the 64-bit Installer because I cant find it.

    What's supposed to happen is that when you go to the download page, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download, it's supposed to recognize that you're running 64 bit Vista and then you get the 64 bit iTunes installer. But I've seen reports that FireFox users are only getting the 32 bit installer page.
    Can you try that link with IE? And do you get a different installer then?

  • Ipod nano, new itunes, and windows vista

    Hello,
    I just recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista. With all the problems i've been having, I was sure that I would have problems with iTunes...
    Well everything went surprisingly well when installing the new iTunes and adding all of my music files to the library. I nervously connected my iPod to the USB, thinking it would erase all of my files but I was happy to discover that my computer recognized my iPod and remembered that I keep it so that I can manually manage my music.
    Now the problem is that, when I connect my iPod it comes up with a list of tabs, (summary, music etc...)...the summary tab says that my iPod has 13M left out of 4 gigs which is correct...but when I click on the music tab, it does not show the list of music in my iPod...so I cannot edit what is on my iPod. It gives me the option of syncing my iPod to my iTunes library, but I don't want to do that because it will erase everything that is already on my iPod, and I'm afraid that I'll have problems after that such as not being able to add songs onto it. When I eject my iPod and look through it, I find all of the songs still on it....is there an option somewhere that I'm overlooking? Is this something that has to do with the new iTunes or do you think it may be something with Vista?
    any input would be appreciated, thanks.

    This has nothing to do with Windows Vista, it's basically just one of the changes from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7. If you look in the left-hand column of iTunes (the source list) you should see the name of your iPod below the word "devices." If you look to the left of the name of the iPod icon, you should see a small triangle that appears to be pointing toward the iPod. Click on it. You should now see an additional menu below the iPod's name. If you click on "music" below your iPod, it should show you a list of what's on your iPod.
    Hope this helps!

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 crashing in Windows Vista - Need help

    Hi,
    I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in my system which has OS Windows Vista with SP1 and everytime I open a pdf using my newly installed adobe acrobat it crashes.
    The general trend it after 10 seconds from opening that pdf file, it just automatically closes itself. I checked the system process and didn't see the adobe process running after it closed itself. So I feel it just crashes for some unknown reason.
    I have 1440 X 900 resolution. Don't know if that can be a problem, but I have tried reducing the resolution too but with no help.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem.

    Since this is a USER TO USER forum, not Adobe support, and as the
    only way another user could reply is if they had that exact problem
    and also had a solution, you may need to contact Adobe for help

  • Need 2 network my dsktop Win xp, HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m to my new laptop w/ windows 7 need help

    just got new laptop with windows  7.. my desktop which has printer attached is windows xp
    can't seem to get laptop to locate the printer.  downloaded new drivers? but still doesn't work??
    I am not a wiz at computers & need help

    OK since my first message I've tried running the print & scan doctor, and hp printer diagnostic tool,  following all instructions, cycling power on the printer, uninstalling, deleting temp file entries, doing selective startup, reinstalling, updating, everything I can think of, still to no avail.  Upon completion of install, message says install completed successfully but when I try to print anything, the printer indexes the paper to the middle of the page (not the top??) and stops.  Que says job pending until paper index, then indicates job complete, but nothing ever prints and the display on the unit continues to say "Printing".  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm at my end and thinking maybe its just time to buy a non-HP product to avoid the issue.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Ipod nano first generation and windows vista

    I finally got everything to work right with Itunes and Windows Vista except one minor problem.
    On my ipod, the blue "dot" does not show up when a podcast is new, so in a long lists of podcasts, I can't tell which ones I already listened to.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thank you, Debra

  • Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    paul's onto it.
    if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
    here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

  • Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

    I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
    Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
    Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?
    Daddy-O
    One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

    Hi Daddy-O,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable.  In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver.  This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward.  Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here.  From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
    I hope this helps!  Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify.  Have a great day!

  • Thumbs Up To Upgrading To CS3 and Windows Vista

    Hi Folks,
    After several years of using Dreamweaver 8 on my antiquated,
    10-year old, 700MZ DELL (upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP),
    I finally bought a new HP with Windows Vista. Then I upgraded from
    DW8 to CS3 ($199) and couldn't be happier. I used to have the old
    XP "login" issue (remembering the login) and was never able to
    resolve it, despite using the recommened fix I found here, so it
    was something I just lived with.
    But that's all behind me now. This new DW works great with
    Vista and so far, I have no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to
    learning more about CS3 and all it's features.
    I'm a total novice... (you can tell by viewing my website:
    LBIBeachRentals.com ... LOL), but if I can do it, anyone can. Many
    thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
    particularly Peggy and Murray from OC.

    the old program being obsolete? I appreciate your answer!
    I did much the same recently - (upgrade) from MX to CS3. I
    was using a boxed set but all I needed were the qualifying serial
    numbers of two MX programs for an upgrade. The applications were
    self standing and I never had to install the old ones.
    I would suggest turning the Vista Aero interface off -
    particularly if you also have Fireworks - after that it is great.

  • Audigy 2zs Gamer and Windows Vista / Windows 7

    .Audigy 2zs Gamer and Windows Vista / Windows 7? Hello, I am just wondering if it is a known issue to have really loud static and crackling when playing games using this card in Vista or Windows 7. I had this issue playing Bioshock a few months back on my Vista boot. I never figured out a way to resolve it so I belei've I just eventually uninstalled the driver and used the card without a driver install (not sure but I think this what I did). It worked but I might as well of just ran onboard sound...
    Now I have installed and tried to run Windows 7 on a dual boot but I started receiving really loud cracking and popping in Warhammer Online and realized I had not installed a driver for my sound card. I did not expect creative to have a Win 7 driver yet but thought perhaps the Vista driver would work in compatibility mode, it does and sounds awesome and really makes me remember what I am missing without my driver installed on Vista but unfortunatly it randomly starts the crackling and popping again after a while...especially when a lot start happening on screen (pvp raids with many characters on screen and magic effects).
    When the crackling starts happening I have no choice but to exit the game and restart the computer to get rid of the noise, but randomly it comes back after a while during gameplay. So as a temporary solution I have installed my onboard sound drivers and have been using that for sound output and my mic port on my sound card for my microphone. I would REALLY love to get my sound issues worked out in both Vista and Win 7 because it sounds SOOO awesome while it's working, the popping though is terrible, I never had that issue in XP.
    I know this is an older card but any help would be appreciated!?

    One thing you do need to learn is that SHOUTING IS MUCH HARDER TO READ!
    But, if you are using Audition 1 and it works with XP, then if you have the chance, I'd stick to that on a new machine. Apart from anything else, it's completely untried with Windows7 and with Vista its a) likely to have problems, and b) going to run slower.
    The other part of your question about the 'look' of later versions is that 1.5 looks pretty similar to 1.0, but with 2.0 and 3.0 things have changed somewhat - rather more with Multitrack View than Edit View. Basic operating principle remains the same, though - most people have had very little trouble transferring from one to another.

  • Mac OS10.6.2 Server and Windows Vista 64 bit client

    Can anyone tell me if the problem below was a quirk or if there is an issue generally.
    I recently purchased a new workstation using windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
    Our Apple Sserver had a share on it for the intended user of this workstation but I simply could not get a connection to the server. Everytime I tried to connect it said I did not has sufficient privledges.
    If I tried logging into the server from another workstation, using XP, Vista or Windows 7 32bit versions I could access the share with no issues.
    I eventually erased and installed a 32bit Windows 7 Pro onto the workstation and it connected perfectly.
    This was the forst workstation we have bought running a 64bit operating system, and now faced with a further two workstations to purchase I am somewhat worried.
    Is it an inherent problem, or was it just a rough PC with perhaps a problem with the initial install of Vista 64bit.
    Any help would be appreicated.
    The Server just runs AFP, DHCP and SMB sharing, no open directory, no DNS. Also its just a workgroup not a domain we are trying to connect to.
    Thanks
    mark

    The main problem you're going to have is that Vista will not authenticate in a compatible way to Mac OS X server, not without modifications at the Vista client.

  • Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

    Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
    I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
    Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
    Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
    Thanks to everyone will help e!

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.
