iTunes not working on Windows Vista?
So it turns out that one of the most popular software programs on the planet “iTunes” is having multiple conflicts with Microsoft Windows Vista.? For the last month Apple had a warning against upgrading to Vista on it’s web site, but this week it changed to an update stating that “itunes is recommended for use with most versions of Windows Vista”.
This, despite the fact that there are still all kinds of problems with iPod synching with iTunes intstalled on Windows Vista.? Like possible corruption of an iPod on ejection from a PC!? That’s like one of those drug commercials that advertise a pill to completely clear your sinus, but fine print that says “may cause heart attack, stroke, or outright death…”.
Who knows how long it will be until iTunes is completely Vista ready and compatible.? Apple also says that the text and graphics may not display properly and that iTunes is still completely unsupported on 64-bit versions of both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Spent days trying to work out why the optical drive on my brand new Toshiba laptop wasn’t working and finally discovered (thanks to the net) that it was itunes causing the problem. Uninstalled itunes and bingo my optical drive is back. I wonder how many other people are out there tearing their hair out!!
