Want to purchase IPOD but have Vista

I am currently reseaching whether I should purchase an IPOD or Zune. I like the functions of IPOD and the usefulness. But after reading all of the posts on the problems, it leaves me wondering whether I should just go ahead and purchase a Zune. I just purchased a new laptop computer that came with Vista (which is a whole another mess) but I like the laptop and do not have any access to XP. I would like to hear some feedback on whether I should purchase the IPOD or the Zune. Thanks.

here's the current official state of play with iTunes and Vista compatibility:
iTunes and Windows Vista
EDIT: actually, there's less in that document now than there used to be since 7.2.0.x was released. this one has a bit more detail:
Are iTunes and iPod compatible with Windows Vista?

  • Want to purchase iweb but have questions. :)

    I am considering purchasing iweb and I have a few questions
    1) I saw all of the webpages and they had no sound? is this typical?
    2) how many websites can you have with the .mac account? and do we need iweb to make a website?
    3) I wanted to make a website so that as soon as it loads a video (with sound ) will play without pressing a play button.
    4) can i use final cut pro to produce a video for this webpage?
    5) do i need .mac to run this web page? or do you all use other applications? please list other apps if any.
    and last question..............(drum roll)
    6) do I need to upgrade from my OS 10.3.9?
    thank you all so much in advance for your kindness...

    My answers pertain to using iWeb "as is" - which means not manually messing with the underlying html that it produces. Also, I don't have .mac, I use bluehost. so I will defer to any .mac users.
    1. You can drag audio files on but they show up with controls and need to be started manually.
    2. You can probably make lots of sites. .mac isn't very generous with disk space - that will most likely be your barrier.
    3. You will have to alter the html to make this happen. By default you have to press play.
    4. yes
    5. no, but certain features such as a hit counter are dependent on .mac. also, uploading only the changes to the site depends on .mac. I use a terminal session and rsync.
    6. no
    iWeb is like the other i apps. it hides a lot from you. every time you publish to a folder ALL your sites will be published. this will only bother you if you don't use .mac - most likely. all your sites are kept in a single archive type file. It's made for people who know nothing about making a web page.
    There is little flexibility. The sites follow templates based on CSS. IF you don't change the css your sites will be prevented from doing simple things like changing the color of web links.

    If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card.  Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • I want to purchase Apature, but In the advertising blurb I dont see how to remove unwanted objects from a photo. I know it can be done in Adobe Elements, but I would rather Apature.

    I want to purchase Apature, but in the advertising blurb I dont see hoe to remove unwanted oblectsfrom a photo. I know it can be done in Adobe but I would rather have Apature.

    What DiploStrat said.
    To expand a little bit:  Aperture allows you to assign a graphics program (such as PSE) as an "external editor".  In general, you use Aperture to organize your photos, to develop them (make them as good as possible for each use), and to publish them (create share-able files).  Your external editor is used when you want to create a new graphics file, which is what happens in all "destructive pixel editing".
    Aperture provides tools to remove sensor spots from skies (and like operations), but for removing people and billboards you'll want a proper compositor, a/k/a a graphics program.

    if you have forgotten them, contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.

  • I have a roboteq hdc 2450 and want connect to labview but have no idea how to do so. I have the drivers that came with it will it work to interface with labview?

    I have a roboteq hdc 2450 and want connect to labview but have no idea how to do so. I have the drivers that came with it will it work to interface with labview?

    You can create your control code in LabVIEW and then use a Call Library Function Node to communicate with your roboteq DLL.  The first thing to do though, is check to see if Roboteq offers LabVIEW drivers.
    Using LabVIEW: 7.1.1, 8.5.1 & 2013

  • Want to upgrade to bigger IPOD but have concerns

    I have a 20GB IPOD but need more room. I fear that I might not be able to get the music I have in ITunes as well as purchased from ITunes on to my new IPOD. Might anyone have any suggestions on a smooth upgrade/transfer to a newer & bigger IPOD?

    Just make sure you have the latest Itunes and Ipod updater but no as long as you have all the music in Itunes still you shouldn't have any problems with a new Ipod.
    Yes post 548 and I'm now level 3!!!

  • Hi, I recently got an iPad. I want to purchase software but I was prompted for a security code due to the fact that I am purchasing on a new device. I entered all my credit card details but can't even recall having a security code.

    Please help. Because I wanted to purchase apps on my iPad after I have only used my credit card detail on my iPhone, I was requested to also enter some security code. I cannot recall what it is and now I cannot purchase any apps. I entered anything in the hope that some assistance to choose a new one will pop up but nothing. What can I do?

    the security code is on the back of your card underneath your signature

  • Want to purchase music, but none come up on screen!

    I want to purchase music and so I go into the music store. However, when I click on say, "top 100 songs', none of the songs display on the page. I seem to only be able to buy albums, but I don't want the full album of some songs! What has happened??

    If you go to the iPod or iTunes main page (don't know which one), it says that iTunes users with versions 4.7 or 4.8 must update to a version higher than 5 to purchase music! Same thing happened to me!

  • Question.In my computer music library, I "unchecked" all of the tunes that my daughter put in my library but which I DON'T want on my ipod; but, every time I try to "sync" my ipod it keeps on loading more and more of her music onto my ipod. What is wrong?

    Question.  In my computer music library, I "unchecked" all of the music that my daughter downloaded onto my computer because I did not want it on my ipod.  But, every time I try to "sync" my ipod with my computer now, it keeps downloading her music onto my i-pod, even though her tunes are NOT checked. What is wrong, and how can I get her tunes OFF my ipod? 

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps
