Windows 8 and I tunes compatibility ?

Does I tunes work with the new windows 8 that was just released?

iTunes in Windows 8 Consumer Preview does work. If you experience any abnormal lag or behavior, you'll just need to enable compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and administrator privileges for iTunes.exe.
Default installation locations, where you'll find "iTunes.exe":
32bit - C:\Program Files\iTunes
64bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
Hope this helped!

When will Windows 7 and IE 8 compatability roll out?

If you look at this thread 'Xcelsius 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 (FP3.1) is now available' there is a "upcoming major Xcelsius release" mentioned but no dates or timelines. When is this going to happen and will Windows 7 compatability be part of that release? I have customers right now that want to know, if they integrate some Xelcius dashboards into our web application, will this work in Windows 7 and IE 8.
I also noticed the expiration notice on 2008 Engage Server going away. I have Xcelsius 2008 Engage (not the server version). What is the estimated life cycle on it in light of the Server version going away next year.
P.S. I am aware of the XP compatability mode in Windows 7 but I have a hard time believing SAP would consider that a permanent solution.

Hi Matt,
I understand you can't give any detailed timelines yet, as I can only assume you guys are still early in the development cycle for some of the fixes and updates required for Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility. My problem is I have customers that want a reporting solution integrated into the web application my company provides as a product. We want to sell them on the idea of buying Xcelsius licenses and developing their own metrics reports that would seamlessly integrate with our application and we provide an API for them to do that right now. It becomes a pretty tough sell when they ask about Windows 7 and IE 8 compatibility and I can't really tell them anything definitive other then "I think SAP is working on that?". Its not like were talking about an obscure OS and browser, this is Microsoft after all and its my understanding they have a bit of a following . I would, at the very least, like to be able to confidently tell my customers that SAP is commited to making sure Xcelsius 2008 Engage (or what ever the next version name is ) will be fully compatible with Windows 7 and IE 8 and that the long term plan is the end of this year? middle of next year? some other non-ridiculous time frame so I can assure them its not a waste of time waiting for this product to be updated?
You mentioned any SWF files we create (at least it was implied) should run as long as Flash Player 9 or later is installed? Is that truly the case? The reason I ask is the Adobe web site says the Flash Player 10 is compatible with both Windows 7 and IE8. Is the only issue driving this compatability problem the version of the Flash Player installed, or are there still some pieces of Xcelsius that need to be rewritten to accomodate Windows 7 and IE8 regardless of what version of Flash Player is resident? Bottom line is what can I tell my customers to reassure them this is the correct path forward for their reporting needs?
Thanks,
Matt

Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8. This was months ago.
I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

Windows 8 and Apple product compatibility

Good Morning,
The other day, I went to purchase a new Windows-based computer at a non-Apple retail store. I would purchase a Macbook, but budget limitations. When I asked what Windows computer would be best for basic usage (managing IPOD, managing IPADs, managing music, and basic computing), I was told that Windows 8 is not compatible with Apple products. The retail personnel said that he had numerous returns of products because their Iproducts were not syncing (in fact he returned his computer). I have researched the communities and found that there are numerous solutions and reasons for the problem, but the variation in the answers leads me to think that the core issue has not been addressed.
Question:
1. Has the compatibility issues between Windows 8 and Iproducts been corrected? If not, is there any news of the compatibility being addressed in a future release?
2. What is the exact problem and how can it be corrected if I do purchase a new Windows computer?
Thanks,
Brian

Windows 8 and I Tunes

Windows 8--downloaded TV show from newly installed ITUNES program--opens in ITUNES but freezes and jumps around thru the video. I downloaded in HD and I don't think my computer supports that. Is that the problem?

Windows Vista and Photoshop CS2 Compatibility?

I am considering the purchase of a new computer. I have Photoshop CS2, and I am debating whether to get Windows Vista or Windows XP Pro. I have read in the database about Vista and CS2, "Installs and runs with minimal known issues." But it also states under Support for Windows Vista, "not officially." So I am wondering whether anyone has PSCS2 running under Vista, and what kinds of problems you've encountered? Thank you.

I have come across a severe Photoshop CS2 incompatibility with Vista.
One of my printers is an Epson Stylus R310, which prints on both paper and disc. While this model has been on the market for a number of years, many people are still using it, especially those who, like me, have added a continuous-flow ink system to it.
Epson appears to have sat back meekly and allowed Microsoft, whose programming limitations know no bounds, to produce a Vista 'driver' for the R310. Epson even proudly announces on its various international sites that the driver is 'In-box'.
This so-called driver is so poor that Epson has had to release a PDF that shows how to fool the printer into printing to disc when using Epson's own CD Print software under Vista. The Epson XP driver automatically switches the printer dialogue to CD mode, but with the Vista CD workaround the paper mode is retained on screen and it is not until the printer reacts in CD configuration that a user knows that the workaround has worked.
When it comes to Photoshop no workaround seems possible. Print Preview just doesn't work as it does under XP. It is not possible to switch printers, so the target printer has to be made the default so that a preview appears. Otherwise, the user is stuck with the default. In my case, I have used the Photoshop preview box under XP to switch from my default A4/A3 mono laser if I want to use the R310 or my HP 1220. Epson Support's reaction to this situation is that it is up to Photoshop to change.
Problems such as these with the R310 under Vista no doubt apply to many other printers whose Vista drivers carry the dreaded '(M)' in their name.
This leads to a question of my own. I am wondering whether CS3 has tackled this problem of using truncated Microsoft Vista printer drivers with Photoshop. Can anyone enlighten me?

Windows 7 and Sony Clie Compatability

Is there a "fix" or "work-around" that will allow the Clie to work in Windows 7?
Post relates to: None

Problem Solved!!!
I was having the exact symptoms stated at the beginning of this thread. After installing Windows 7 from Vista, Apple TV would show up in the device list and right after entering the verification code it would dissappear and wouldn't show up until I restarted Itunes. I did some research and found that if Apple TV doesn't have a solid connection it basically times out which explains the temporary appereance in the device list followed by it's mysterious dissappearance. At first I thought it might be something with the latest upgrade to Itunes so I started a download of Version 7 to see if that would work. I noticed that my download was only going at around 25k/sec and that was way, way to slow. As it turns out, when upgrading from Vista to 7, Windows 7 erases all of your drivers for things like video cards, network adapters, ect and does a clean install. I took my restore cd from vista and installed the missing driver for my Wireless LAN Adapter. My downloads went up to around 300kb/sec and viola!! Itunes synced up and is working great. It also works through a VPN and with Windows Firewall on as well as a 3rd party service. So if you upgraded to windows 7 take your old restore cd and updated all your network drivers. If you don't have the cd then get them online. This worked for me and I hope if works for everyone else having trouble. If anybody wants detailed instructions just let me know.

Windows 7 and Apple TV compatability???

I am having problems syncing my iTunes with AppleTV. For some reason it will begin the sync and 30 seconds to a minute later will disappear from the device lists. I was told from outside help it may be a sharing problem with windows 7 but have nothing to go on to show that as a problem. Any ideas?

I have windows 7 and I can't sign into ITunes. Message says to turn off compatibility mode to use. How and why do I need to do this?

I have Windows 7. I was previously using Windows 98 when I set up ITunes and developed a library of music and movies. When I try to log in I keep getting a message stating that am using an older version of Windows and that I need to turn off "compatability mode to use ITunes. Where and why do I need to do this?

Compatability issues with Windows 7 and Ipod Classic initially set-up w/ XP

When I opened my iTunes account for my iPod Classic 2 years ago, I was using Windows XP and could download from iTunes Store or load my own CDs and then sync to my iPod. Long story short: That computer crashed. I now use Windows 7 on both my new computers but while I can review the contents of my Classic, itTunes won't play any of the tracks when connected to my computer's USB. Nor can I sync purchases or downloads. Incidentally, attempts to review my Ipod in "computer" doesn't consistently show my iPod either. I continually receive the same message telling me that "iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before opening." I right clicked on iTunes, regarding compatibility, but it informs me that there are no previous versions available to do this. My warranty for technical or phone support has expired, so I am unable to speak to a representative. It sounds like other people are having similar problems with the newest version 11.1 of iTunes. Has anyone worked their way around this?

Hi anne274,
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.
Since the music was originally ripped from CD, you should be able to put the iPod into disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and transfer the music into your library without loosing anything.
