Vista x64, iTunes 7.1 & iPod eject

Hi everybody,
I just installed iTunes 7.1 under Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I have to say the program is running quite well.
The only issue I have is with iPod ejecting, because the procedure of using the control menu inside iTunes is not working.
The program keeps complaiing about some of the files that are being used by a different application.
So far, the only solution I found is to use the Vista safely remove hardware icon in the system tray, which is not that safe in the case of Vista.
In fact, the message that tells one not to disconnect the unit never goes away.
In the end, I have to remove the player no matter what message it is showing.
So far, it didn't get corrupt.
Any suggestions?
Regards.

i have the same problem guys. i make playlists for everything, not a big fan of the other view options available. i have been getting frustrated lately with the lack of playlist drag and drop and having to scroll up through a couple hundred playlist to get to the **** ipod icon. i have actually created folders for parts of the alphabet so i can simply close them in order to get to the ipod icon a lot faster. stupid work around, but alas it does work. i think apple doesn't want people to use playlists like we do.

  • Vista and iTunes not recognizing iPod

    Hi, I just got a new laptop, with Windows Vista. When I plug my ipod in, the computer doesn't recognize that it's there. The ipod shows the charging symbol, but it doesn't show up in my computer or in itunes. Any ideas?

  • ITunes and Windows 7 (or Vista) x64

    Hey there,
    the current state with syncing my iPod under Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 (RC) x64 is horrible. iTunes locks itself up for several minutes, syncing large Music libraries takes hours - and might break halfway through the progress. It's a shame that I have to experience such lacky behaviour from Apple Products.
    Having ordered an iPhone 3Gs, I wonder if I'll experience the same trouble with it.
    Will Apple make it to provide a working sync solution for Windows 7 x64?
    Windows 7 is no longer pre release, so it's time to take some action. You should've downloaded the RTM copy of Windows 7 x64 already, MobileDeviceDriver Team.
    Pretty Disappointed

    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    what typically works with the 2380s on 64-bit OSs (it hits XP too) is reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing.
    the GEAR drivers are available from the following page. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit driver, so be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

  • Anyway to get an Ipod to work with Vista X64?

    I recently built a computer under Vista X64 and remarkably enough, the most manufactured piece of hardware I hook up to it is the only one that isn't supported by its manufacture. Whether or not this is extreme incompetence or complications, I will never truly know but anyways....
    Is there anyway to sync an Ipod with a 64bit version of Windows Vista. I don't care whether it is through Itunes or not, I just need to be able to add and remove video and music from my Ipod.

    You can try Winamp or Xplay.

  • IPod Ejection Error from iTunes

    When I have my second generation Nano connected to iTunes and I click on the ejection icon to remove it from iTunes I get the following message: "The iPod Bill's iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". I am running Windows Vista and have the latest updates for iTunes and my iPod. Any help on resolving this would be appreciated.

    I did check the settings and cannot find anything on how to not scan ipds or if it is even scanning it at all.

  • Vista x64 and iPod Syncing Error (Error -81)

    I have Vista x54 and the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5) and just got a brand-new 30GB Video 5.5 a few days ago. I started my sync on my library, but right in the middle I get this error - "Cannot Copy To Disk "IPOD" (-81)" I already restored my iPod several times and even completely removed all traces of iTunes, QT, etc and reinstalled, but to no avail... I've been using iTunes other functionalities for some time now on my Vista x64 just fine... What should I do? Is this a hardware problem - cause this iPod is spankin' new!!

    Hmmm. You aren't getting the classic symptoms of the issue, but it might be worth checking for a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC, as per the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Warning iTunes causes corruption to Nvida RAID 5 arrays on Vista x64

    For the second time I have had gotten one of my drives corrupted by iTunes. At first I didn't know what the issue was. I thought one of my drives was going bad. Funny enough I stopped using iTunes in x64 since there isn't iPod Touch support and dual boot to XP. Since I did that I didn't have issues for weeks. I never associated the issue to iTunes in till just 15min ago. I just started iTunes in Vista and got raid error almost as soon as I started it. I first I didn't think iTunes was related to my issue. Now I know for sure.
    I hope someone sees this and avoids the issue if at all possible. I was lucky it only took out one of my drives and I was able to rebuilt it again. Apple fix your software. I know us Windows users don't mean anything to you but if would be nice to have software that doesn't try to eliminate my PC. That would be great!!!

    Yes, how can I say this... DUH! But if you seen the link above this isn't even a x64 only issue. Its any version of Vista using Nvidia raid. Both 32-Bit and 64-Bit have the issue. This is a warning aka "<WARNING>" so others might stay away when running in a RAID so they don't lose data. XP64 and Vista x64 work fine unless you need to sync your iPod or using Raid.
    So far I only lack drivers for a wireless card and have issues with iTunes in Vista. Nothing has been a bigger issue then iTunes IMO.

  • ITunes will not work on Fresh INstall of Vista x64 SP1

    I have a strange issue. I have a Windows Vista x64 with SP1 (Yes the DVD is a production DVD from Microsoft not a slip stream copy.) and I wanted to do a fresh install of Vista with SP1. Reinstalled OS and everything is running great but iTunes. When I start iTunes I get this error message about "mssip32.dll" being damaged or corrupt please reinstall the app. So I looked around good old Google and apple.com. I found several fixes about re-registering a set of dll files. So did them all, no change. Reinstalled Vista from scratch again, no change. So for the heck of it I reinstalled Vista with no SP1 installed and then applied SP1 and it works fine. I reinstalled Vista with SP1 and have been running it for over a week and everything on the system is tested and solid as a rock with no issues. The only program that will not work is iTunes. I have also tried all the way back to version 7.4 and no luck.
    Any ideas on this?

  • Ipod not recognized my Windows vista or itunes

    I have an older click wheel ipod (2004) and I recently got a new computer with vista. Since then I have not been able to sync my ipod because it does not register as being connected. All of the songs I had on it worked just fine through the head phones and the dock, and so in my desperation (following the 5 Rs) I tried to restore it. I synced my ipod with a mac and it restored just fine, then I synced it with my pc and it actually recognized it?!! I went through the restore, and that worked, but I could not transfer songs to it. I just went from having a mostly working ipod, to one that seems to work with no songs on it. Arrgh. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Do either of these help?

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • Installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista X64

    Hey guys,
    Sorry if this has been covered in the past, I looked over the forum and couldn't find anything on this. However I have a solution for installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista x64.
    What was happening was that anytime I installed iTunesSetup.exe from Windows Vista x64 it said it couldn't find QuickTime and aborted the install. Well what was happening is that all 32 bit installers now go to the "Program Files (x86)" directory. And the install team at Apple hard coded iTunes Install to look for the QuickTime folder in "c:\Program Files" instead of getting the location provided by the OS ("c:\Program Files (x86)\"). So it blows up when it cannot find the QuickTime directory in the wrong location.
    First download QuickTimeInstaller.exe and install QuickTime. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)
    Move the QuickTime folder from c:\Program Files (x86) to c:\Program Files
    Then download iTunesSetup.exe and install iTunes. (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/)
    Worked perfectly for me. Let me know if anybody has any problems. I would also like to forward what I found to apple so that they can fix this in the future. Does anybody know a good source to send this too?

    Maybe you can hel me
    Im unable to install itunes 7.0.2 because each time I try to i get an error message saying I have insufficient access to that key...the key being HKEYlocalmachine\software\microsoft windows\...etc, etc. etc...
    Can you helP???

  • ITunes Mini-player in Taskbar on Vista x64?

    Howdy,
    I have had Vista Ultimate Retail from the day it come out, but I have only just installed it instead of XP. In XP you could Right Click the taskbar and select Toolbars > iTunes and when you minimised iTunes it would show a mini player in the Windows taskbar giving easy access to the play/rewind/pause etc buttons... just like Media Player.
    Well I cannot do it in Vista x64? Any reason why I cannot do this? Or has it just not been introduced into Vista yet? I'm sure I have read people on here being able to get it work? But How?
    Any help will be appreciated!

    keogh,
    I can understand your frustration, however the Microsoft Windows 64-bit is currently not supported by iTunes. Some features may not work correctly. This article has more information:

  • Problem with Vista x64 and Audible in iTunes

    I've made a clean install of Vista x64.
    Installed iTunes and started it off reloading my music. When it came to .aa files from Audible it prompted me for my audible login - which I gave. It then rejected my login and skipped all my audible stuff.
    I've now tried several times to completely wipe iTunes from my system and reinstall it (even tracking down all the config stuff it installs and doesn't remove on removal) and still have no luck. I've also tried the vista permissions fix.
    Problem is iTunes seems to think it's authorized on Audible as I have a 'DeAuthorize Audible account' option under advanced. If I enter my login under this, or when prompted when trying to add an Audible file I get a "Could not authorize this computer because an error occurred (-44012)" error message.
    Anybody have any clue about this, because google hasn't.

    I believe that's just to fix permissions if you can't play back music you've purchased from the music store.
    I did try running it anyway, just to see if it made any difference, it didn't.

  • ITunes won't install on Vista x64

    I've got a Vista x64 system that crashed a while ago. I've succesfully recovered all of my other programs except for itunes and quicktime. I have tried to uninstall them with a few programs and then reinstalled, but then whenever I try to run it I get a "iTunes has stopped working" message. Any advice?

    It says you need to re-register the DLL.
    All I did was google the error message you got -
    +The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.+
