iTunes and Vista

[Guest]

I have a 30 gig iPOD (new present) and windows Vista Home Basic, I am
worried about all of the talk about the compatability issues. Apple
recommends the 7.3.2 version and says it will work. There is a window update
as well that addresses an eject issue. I have never used iTunes before.
Does anyone have suggestions that are helpful. Does anyone know if the SP1
scheduled for next Tuesday will address any of the issues with iTunes of iPOD?

Thanks
John

I have been using the same iPod that you have with iTunes for quite some time
with no problems. The problem only occured if you removed the ipod with the
"safe to remove hardware" icon or from within explorer. If you used the eject
iPod from iTunes, everything was okay. I haven't updated to 7.3.2 or
installed the hotfix yet.

John,
Working here in Vista and XP with the same ipod and also with the
original ipod(keeps on ticking) using version 7.3.2.

I did register vbscript.dll prior to installing Itunes on the Vista
machines
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304405
I did not have to register vbscript.dll on XP.

Note: I do not upgrade install Itunes on Vista when a new version comes
out. All my Itunes music and library is stored on a separate partition
on an internal drive. I remove quicktime and old Itunes programs,
delete the Itunes and Ipod folders, and delete the Itunes *.xml file
stored in my user account.

So far the above approach has worked flawlessly the last three Itunes
installs on Vista RTM.
