Sorry.. I need it too and get bad performance also.. Main point for me is the Ipod won't talk to itunes. I'll be moving my itunes onto my work laptop at this rate...

Apple said "in the next few weeks" a few weeks ago.

My nano works on vista (x64 ultimate) too. Only dfference is that it doesn't auto start iTunes. If i open iTunes, plug it in, it picks it up and works perfectly.

Hmmm I wonder if it's hardware related... What motherboard are you using?

Rebelius · 5 Mar 2007 at 13:30

Asus A8N-E - nForce 4.

It's worked fine on 32bit & 64bit HP.

Looks like a new version is out. Itunes 7.1

Edit: http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=38572

Looks like no luck for 64bit users on Vista yet.

64Bit Vista user here,

dopisp + WMP 11 is fine

Well time to give it a go.. I'm on Vista x64 at the moment. What I may end up doing though is putting itunes on a different box

Well this version has sorted my shuffle issues I've been having. Roll on the proper Vista version

Does this new version work ok with Vista then?

Yes, within reason, they also added the vista-ish buttons, which look out of place and horrible.

haha, i didn't realise until you pointed that out. Now I'm going to notice them all the time

and you're right, they look horrible.

Installed and uninstalled straight away, it still does that thing where it reinstalls itself if you change anything like shortcut directories, or if you disable the iPod service
