Now there’s a surprise. Apple has raised the ‘Stop’ sign, warning iTunes users that they may encounter problems moving to the new Microsoft OS, Vista. The company has admitted that early reports from iTunes users that have upgraded to Vista are not all that good. The issues include:
* 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.by name or by rating
Apple has said in a statement:
“iTunes 7.0.2 may work with Windows Vista on many typical PCs. Apple recommends, however, that customers wait to upgrade Windows until after the next release of iTunes which will be available in the next few weeks.”
