Has anyone else noticed that, or is it just me?

I can't get it to do much of anything but lock up all the time. I have
to use Task Manager to kill it. None of the menus will work at all and
they get this weird whiteout over some of them.

It's totally useless.

If anyone has it working, I'd love to hear about it.

If not, let's hope Apple is ready come January 30.

I've got a DVD filled with a backup of all my ITMS purchases.

I don't own an iPod, so that's not an issue. I'd just like to be able to
play the songs I've bought and perhaps buy more at some point.

It's a known issue.

Apple has been slow getting iTunes up to speed for Vista.

I'm using iTunes 7.0.2 with no problems that I can see.

I don't have any problems with the latest iTunes and RC2.

The Problem Has Been Fixed In RTM (Build 6000), Just FYI.

I am running iTunes 7.0.2.16 on Vista 32 RTM. It sort of runs but I am
having the following problems:

1. If I leave it opened over night I end up with a C++ runtime error message
box on top of the iTunes screen. When I close the C++ runtime screen iTunes
also closes. I don't seem to lose any data, but it is definitely not as
stable as it was on the same machine with XP Pro.
2. I have a subscription to Audible.Com for audio books that I load into my
iPod 60 and the DRM activation from Audible.Com will not remain activated.
It asks to be reactivated each time a new book or newspaper is downloaded.
It did not do that with XP Pro.
3. The iPod was offered an upgrade from version 1.2 to 1.2.1. I tried to do
the update a few dozen times and it failed every time under VISTA. It
updated the first time on my XP Pro system using the same sync cable.
4. Every time I plug the iPod into the USB I get an error "Do you want to
scan and fix G:? which is the drive letter assigned to the 60G disk in the
iPOD that the system sees as a USD disk. I do not get that message on the
same iPOD when I plug it into my XP Pro system. I have tried to run the
repair that is offers but that fails.
5. I have tried to run the iPod restore and it fails every time. It works
fine for the same iPod on the XP PRO system.

It does sync my music, pictures, and podcasts fine but the 5 problems above
reduce the functionality and reliability of the whole iTunes and iPod
experience.

As I understand it the ZUNE works fine on XP and has problems on VISTA also
so it is probably not a trick in VISTA to give ZUNE an advantage.

Your reply didn't need the phrase "Just FYI".

It would have looked/sounded fine without it. Just FYI

I can't resist:

(1) You expect Microsoft to make life easy for Apple? Show me a picture of
Bill Gates kissing Steve Jobs on the lips and I'll remind you of scenes from
the Godfather. :)

(2) Saying Itunes is worthless under Vista RC2 implies (via negative
pregnant for you lawyers and logic professors) that Itunes is worthwhile
under some other operating system. It is? ROFL

OK. I've had my fun. As someone else informed you, MS apparently gave in
and fixed it in the RTM. I'm running RTM 6000 on two systems here but, as
you can see from the above, do not love Itunes enough (to put it mildly) to
install it for the sake of confirming that it works.

FYI = For Your Irritation

:)

LOL I thought Mr. Boucher was a bit funny. I don't expect those kissing
pictures to be circulated, but they might be obtainable on Ebay if you have
enough cash.

I haven't had any problems with the Ipod on any build of Vista including RC2
and all the subsequent builds that weren't internal builds at Red Man
Wahshington and Redwimins Washington with Seattle. I gues I could google
for it, but I'll take your words if Ipod working was a known issue with some
builds of Vista for some people but none of the people with both Vista and
Ipods I know have had any problem with them since the birth of the little
Vista beta last July 2005..

If you want to post your specific Ipod issues here I'm sure some of us will
be glad to fix them since lol what could be more appropriate. We could
probably even lobby for you to get this group named IVista like the IWoz
book I started reading next to the book about Intel's Andy Grove. I passed
by a big Zune display today and it said "The Social is here." I was lookin'
around for the ice cream or the drinks. It reminded me of how Zune got
flayed in the major media for all the goofey things it does and doesn't do.

I seriously wonder if your issues that you didn't define specifically aren't
Ipod issues that could easily be fixed instead of IVista issues which is the
official name for Ipod with Vista.

I need help ----I recently got a new computer---with Vista -and my itunes doesn't seem to want to work...it comes up with an 'APPCRASH' error every time I plug it in. All of my songs are there, in my library--but it will not let me update with new songs I have in my library to the ipod. I have tried to uninstall, and then reinstall...no luck. HELP! Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

And you are running the latest version of iTunes? 7.1.1.5 Also, the appcrash
might be specific to the beta build of Vista you are running.

I ran into no problems running iTunes in newly installed Vista Premium, as
Andre said make sure you download the newest version (7.1.1.5) from apple
for it has some bug fixes in it concerning iTunes and Vista.

Where can I get the newest download? I think I am running that one, but maybe not---do you have an exact link?
Thanks---I will try that.
