iTunes Repair Tool for Vista v1.0 Released


rfid news

Microsoft finally got Windows Vista out the door this week and, as soon as they did, some iTunes users started reporting issues running Apple’s player under the new operating system. In response, Apple quickly released the iTunes Repair Tool for Vista v1.0, which should sort out any issues users may be experiencing.

The list of problems most frequently encountered, taken from Apples KnowledgeBase article on the matter, follows.

  • iTunes Store purchases may not play when upgrading to Windows Vista from Windows 2000 or XP.
  • iPod models with the “Enable Disk Use” option turned off may be unable to update or restore iPod software, and make changes to iPod settings.
  • iPod models configured to Auto Sync and have the “Enable Disk Use” option turned off may require being ejected and reconnected to resync.
  • Ejecting an iPod from the Windows System Tray using the “Safely Remove Hardware” feature may corrupt your iPod. To always safely eject an iPod, choose Eject iPod from the Controls menu within iTunes.
  • Cover Flow animation may be slower than expected.
  • Contacts and calendars will not sync with iPod.

Apple indicates that iTunes v7.0.2 may work with Vista on many typical PCs, but recommends that users wait to upgrade to the new OS until the next version of iTunes is released, in a few weeks.
