I have the latest version of itunes ,but everytime I install and then reboot
the machine I lose my CD ROM Drives. Has anyone else had this problem

Itunes has causes many problems. I'm not using it until there is a Vista
version.

If Colin says ITunes has caused Vista problems, I don't doubt it, but I
haven't had any problems that were Itunes/Vista issues and I think Colin is
being optimistic if he thinks Itunes is going to mod another build for
Vista's sake. I guess the motivation would be the Imusic store, and the
little fact that 97% of boxes are Windows boxes, but right now only 10% of
Ipod purchasers are using it.

Try the first part of this and see if it helps you, Greg:

CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive appears to be missing after you install
Windows XP or Windows Vista

Even if it's 10%, 90% (or more) of those users are Windows Users. So it
would be foollish for Apple to not write a Vista-compatible version of
iTunes.

With that said, now that I've done a clean install of RC2 (X64), it's
working just fine.

Scott--

I couldn't agree with you more. I think there should be no compatibility
barriers, and aplaud the people who are using both Windows and Apple--and
some Linux for that matter whatever their reasons. I haven't had any
Itunes/Windows issues for several builds of Vista, although it does get a
little tricky on a dual boot keeping the Itunes straight.

Anything they do to enhance Vista compatability or quell Vista issues is a
plus.

I use iTunes extensively and have never had this problem. Although it did
happen once while using Nero 7 (which I don't think is vista compatible
anyway), so I would guess it isn't an iTunes problems

itunes installs a driver from "GEAR" that is used to burn cd's. this drive
is NOT vista compatible. check your event logs and youll see GEAR warning
and/or errors.

wait for a vista approved version of itunes

That's interesting Troy. I hadn't heard of "GEAR." I haven't had any
trouble at all on several builds of Vista with Itunes or using the Ipod (you
don't need an Ipod of course to use Itunes) back through September when I
started using it--and often use Itunes over WMP to play ripped music. But I
wonder if you cann't selectively uninstall gear since you do have many
alternatives for bufning cds on Vista--which comes with WMP that can burn
them.

I guess there will be a "Vista compatible" version of Itunes but I consider
it Vista compatible now. I don't think you'll see MSFT giving Itunes a seal
of approval although there could come a time when the Zune team wises up and
drops all their current awkward compatibility barriers.

I outlined the current Zune's shortcomings twice on this group in
considerable detail.

I just burned a playlist using iTunes on VIsta Ultimate RTM, and played it
back - it all worked perfectly.

I just confused why when I install Itunes 7.0.2.16 and reboot my box my
cdroms go away and say from device manager that they couldn't start. I had
nero installed on my machine and I have removed it and still have the issue.
What versions of itunes are people running with Vista?

Thanks.
