Hi,

Both my burners are unsupported by itunes, they worked fine in XP. One is a Samsung cdrw and the other a LG dvdrw. My sister bought a new pc yesterday, and itunes gives the same no supported burners error with the new LG dvdrw drive in it.

Both pcs are using Vista ultimate (fully updated) and itunes 7.2.0.34.

Is anybody else experiencing this problem and how did you solve it?


Also, itunes will not let me view shared libraries over the network, itunes is enabled in the firewall. The library appears but when I click on it, it loads, the tracks appear for a second and then the library disappears as though it was never there. Any suggestions? (and don't say load XP again :rolleyes:)


Thanks

Dan
 
Not sure if Itunes is fully supported via Vista (maybe has bugs using the new drivers that are used for your cd/dvdwriters)

there could maybe be a problem with your network, hence u not being able to view files over the lan. (your shared files are prolly on a WindowsXP system, so u must install TCP/IP and IPX on Vista, it helps a bit)
 
itunes 7.2 was meant to be vista compatible :(

3 pcs, 2 vista and 1 XP. Normal file sharing works fine, just not itunes.

I have TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 installed. What's IPX?

use WMP11?

hehe, I'm sure that was what you didnt't want to hear along with changing back to XP. Well I prefer Vista's WMP11 to iTunes anyway, looks and nicer and the library is a bit more mature with the views if you use the best looking one. If iTunes dropped their iPod monopoly deal it would help..
 
Well I have an ipod to go with the itunes. So I have to use itunes. :)

I'm really lazy to sort music, so don't want to be loosing playlists. Its fine how it is.

Just need get the cd burning working. WMPs likes to give trouble when burning music to cds in my experience and doesn't warn you of it before beginning writing.
