Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Basic /iTunes and iPod Shuffle (2nd generation)

Does anyone know how or if it is even possible to get my computer to recognize my iPod?  I made each available update, my usb ports work, the computer is new, my iPod works in my friends computer with XP and connects very well.  When I plug my iPod the computer does not see it, I can ' find any device driver to install online, they all said that they should auto install when I plug.  I tried the online help but he keeps telling me to manage add ons and click to install ActiveX controls, but there is nothing there that says that.  I'm fighting it all day and am willing to say that Microsoft is the worst company ever.  I hate their OS, I hate their support (what there is of it without having to pay even more money), and I hate myself for buying a pc and not a mac.

rmvisme,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

The only way to get your iPod to work with any computer, be it a PC or a Mac is by downloading and installing iTunes.  You can download on the Apple support site: http://support.apple.com.  Once you have installed, you should be able to sync your iPod, manage your library, burn CDs, etc.

Let us know if you need more information.
Thank you

  • Help Windows Vista service pack? I restart and it installs but stops. Help

    I therefore installed a Service pack today, don't know which, and everything went smoothly. Then the computer off once it's all over. He turned back and started to install again? I think so. But he was loading or installing (if it) and reached 75440 kb / 96302kb and just stopped with a weird error looking thing on the side. The thing was like that "!" 0xc01a001d!'

  • I am repeatedly offered Windows Vista Service Pack 1, even though I downloaded and installed successfully.

    Original title: Windows Vista SP1 64 bit (KB936330) 1.5 MB update.

    I just reformat my computer and am trying to do the update process.  I use Microsoft Vista 64 bit and got most of the SP1 is installed.  TI completed most of it restarted, full of a few other updates and is now stuck on 1 part of the update.

    He keeps asking to install "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for x 64-based Systems (KB936330) which is a 1.5 MB file.»  I go through the process.  He told me that I downloaded and installed successfully, and then when I hit the button to Windows Update, there is still wanting to be installed.

    I'm sure that this issue has arisen before but most of what I saw refers to the two error codes or problems with the installation of SP1 together.  Help, please!

    I had the same problem, I must have downloaded and installed sp1 about 10 times and there is no way that he was only 1.9 MB.

    I finished downloading it manually from the main site of Microsoft.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=30
    Once you are done installing the update and Windows update tent always updated sp1, simply click on "check for updates" at the top left of the window, and who should confirm that sp1 has been updated and it should not try sp1 update more.
    It took about 1-2 hours in total, but it worked for me, hope this helped.

    My laptop is running slow so I thought that I would need to update something. It suggested that Windows Vista Service Pack 2 so I started to update, but I remembered that my previous laptop was having problems with Windows Vista Service Pack 2 so I canceled the update.
    I then turned off my laptop later and now when I turn it on it goes to 'Launch Startup Repair', I have let this happen, but can not solve a problem.
    I then tried "Start Windows normally", but it goes back to restart and on-screen 'launch Startup Repair '.
    Then I tried to boot into 'Safe Mode' = nothing
    I tried restoring the system but there is no date available, and he said something like "there is no diagnostic tool.

    Hi carlywray,

    Your computer came with Windows Vista preloaded? If so, contact the manufacturer for the disk recovery or a method of recovery of your operating system. If you have purchased a full copy of Windows, see this Microsoft document.

  • After the release of windows vista service Pack 2 and flash 10 my system continues to blue screen

    After the last update of windows vista service Pack 2 and flash 10 that my system continues to blue screen, the solution has advised windows that will fix it is to uninstall flash and reinstal, it dosent solution work any ideas? I tried to roll back to Flash 9 and it's less, but happens again... someone has any ideas?

    First, uninstall Flash to make sure that's not the problem.  If the problem persists and if the problem is related to the installation of Vista SP2 (as seems to be the case), then Support Microsoft offers free technical support for installation of Vista SP2 issues at: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034&st=1&wfxredirect=1&sd=gn.  They are experts on these issues and you should take advantage of the offer, although it is still free.  I'm sure they will be able to help you.  Minimize (but do not deny) the update of Flash and to focus on the installation of SP2 when you explain the problem.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we'll see what we can do.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Error code 80070490 claims a repair upgrade install, not an uninstall and clean reinstall.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

    If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

    Have you tried the other option for system update readiness tool in the link I just gave you?

    The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

    And you need a DVD of Vista from Microsoft to do a repair installation upgrade according to the instructions, NOT the normal manufacturer's recovery disks.

    You will need to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend or working knowledge.

    Here's how a repair upgrade installation:

    "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And if you can't get a loan from a Vista DVD from Microsoft, you may need to do a reinstall of Vista:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
