Re: iTunes and Windows 7

mentioned memory because my guess is that the dells have only 1gb so theyre not really ideal for w7 but yes there are other factors

ive been using rc on my mac and its fine although installing in bootcamp meant a bit of work so maybe ms have got it right for once otherwise waiting for 7.1 is good advice

im sticking with xp on the netbook which is less than a year old simply because xp is fast, stable and uses less memory however i would think with a year or therell be little choice so may change then

also the w7 advantages will be seen more on machines that had vista installed rather than xp so idc id leave things as jon35y says unless your one of the closet computer buffs who must have the latest

Download and run the upgrade advisor and see what it says....A loy of memory can't go wrong but if your only surfing/mail / spotify not that important..

Re: iTunes and Windows 7

Just d/l and ran the upgrade advisor (thanks for the clicky) on my vista desktop and it recommends uninstalling and re-installing iTunes before/after upgrade so worth bearing in mind if you`re considering upgrading to w7.Will be ordering laptop tommorrow and will let you know if I have any probs with w7 and iTunes.Edit-Just noticed that the w7 version on the soon to be laptop is 64 bit,does that throw a spanner in the works?

Re: iTunes and Windows 7

I `ve been having a bit of a look round the net and it seems there is a problem with windows 7 64 bit and iTunes,some say it won`t sync their `pods after install and some saying it won`t install at all.Apple seem to be ignoring or unaware of the problem as I can see no mention of it on the website.I have`nt ordered the laptop yet and am reluctant to do so until this issue is resolved,suppose I could go for a Vista laptop but would rather have the shiny new OS.

Certainly not a closet buff and since the preceeding posts have suggested a potential problem with itunes I will leave W7 for the next laptops. Thanks to both of you.

Re: iTunes and Windows 7

Finally got my new laptop running windows 7 64 bit.First I ran windows update and got all the latest patches and then D/L Itunes 64 bit and all seems to be working well.The problems I read about with windows 7 and Itunes mostly seemed to be about ipod syncing issues and concerned earlier versions of Itunes.I don`t intend to use the laptop to sync the pods,will continue to use the desktop for this.Right,better get back to ripping,only another 200 albums to go........

Re: iTunes and Windows 7

well I now can get itunes to work on any of my purchased tv/movies under win 7 Ultimate 64bit. All I get is a grey screen with no sound


My "added" files ie my converted DVDs in mpeg4 play just perfect.


I am so p.o'd with this so would appreciate any thoughts

I think I can live without Aero.

I did notice that someone on other forum claimed that FB2K WASAPI plugin didn't work on W7.....but ASIO did.


i have no idea what this means...is it just me?

Sorry.

Aero is the jazzy user interface Microsoft plugged on the front of Vista.

FB2K = foobar2000.
WASAPI = Windows Audio Session API - bypasses most of the windows audio tat.
W7 = Windows 7.
ASIO = Audio Stream Input/Output - bypasses most of the windows audio tat.
