With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

ipod, nano, vista, driver, windows

Just installed latest version of iTunes on client's new Vista laptop (Dell). We started with a fresh iTunes library database to avoid any issues, added all the music from the old XP computer and then re-authorized the songs purchased via iTunes Store.

Everything is working except for her ipod nano which is a 1st generation, 2GB model. Every time we connect it, Vista prompts us for a driver, when we let Vista try to find one it searches with no success. I spoke with a person at the Apple Store near us and he said iTunes should provide the drivers necessary for the ipod. He suggested we try running the latest Vista updates to see if that helps... we did and the problem persists. We also connected the ipod back to the old XP computer and it is working fine with iTunes there. So, it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue.

Any ideas on what can be done next? The Apple Store person said we might want to try uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes, but I don't see how that might help since iTunes seems fine as is.

Help?
