I am a happy user of vista 64 bit ultimate until I upgraded to iPod touch.
Touch is not recognized by vista (64bit) and says I need a 64 bit iTunes
s/we. This has really put me in a dilemma. I use dual boot with WINXP Pro
and Vista 64 bit ultimate. I have been using the dual boot to XP
occasionally for using my digital camera as there are no 64 bit vista
drivers for it. My iPod touch works fine under XP and now I have to use the
XP all the time to use iTunes/iPod touch. Anyone has any thoughts/clues on
when there will be support for vista 64 bit from apple?
Options I can considering are to re-install 32 bit version of vista which
will solve the iPod problem; I guess MS will not allow me to dual boot 32
bit and 64 bit on the same machine?
First thing I did this morning was to see if maybe Apple had suprised us
with a 64bit driver for X-mas. But then I remember why I switched to PC
in the early 90's when Apple ******* its Apple II series users. BUT
that's not the point of this post. I'm currently dual booting into 32
and 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate. I had to do a phone verification
where I explained that I was in the process of upgrading from 32bit to
64bit. The only thing holding me back right now is my iPod Touch!
So you are able to dual-boot 32 bit and 64 bit vista, with the one license?
Can you confirm this because this would be a good option for me also. Did
you have any issues with phone verification?
Thanks

Microsoft's website has some suggestions for fixing iPod problems
(search at microsoft.com). Has anyone tried them to fix the iPod Touch
Vista x64 problems?
I had to do a phone verification and actually explain to tech on the
phone what was happening. I just installed Vista SP1 RC and had to
reactivate 64 bit install via phone. Could not do online.
