Not sure if this helps but I got my 6-year-old 1st generation(!) ipod to work with Vista with no problems. If I can get that old dinosaur to be Vista compatible I'm sure the nano should work just fine. You might have to fool around with the itunes security properties, but other than that, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

I've got Vista on my laptop, and my 4 gb nano works just as well as it does on my desktop's Windows XP. You shouldn't have any problems.

I have my son's 4GB Nano working with Vista with no problems. You do need to have the latest generation of iTunes, which includes the latest quicktime, but that's about it. Good luck.

Windows 8 is great, however, I only have Vista and XP on my PC and laptops. I can't answer this question other than to say the instrructions indicate it works with Windows 8 OS.

The Anker device is compatible with Vista (Compatibility: Windows 2000 / ME/ XP / Vista / 7 / 8 (32bit/ 64bit ) and MAC OS 10.X or later version.). If you require further verification, contact the manufacturer directly. (http://www.ianker.com/)

We have had no issues with any iPods, brand new Classics, older Nanos ... they work just fine. Make sure that the connections is secure since I have had issues with the connecting cable and am having it replaced nect week.

I've been using it with Windows 7 since purchase. I also use it with VISTA on anoher machine and have not run into any problems.Note: It's set up for quick integration with pro-Tools but works with other DAW's as long as you can MAP the various sliders and knobs.I use Cakewalk SONAR and mapping took only a few minutes so I can access the play, stop and record functions right from the keyboard.I also hooked up my standard sustain pedal. The action of the keyboard is pretty good.

Holly, as far as I can tell there are no personal media players except the upcoming Zune from Microsoft that claim Vista support of compatibility out of the box. Hardware design cycles from other companies were probably too late to pick up on any Vista idiosyncratic device support. It will take another generation of devices (in other words a year more or so to shake the major Vista bugs out of peripherals...

Tough one. If the nano works, the dock works. I'd suggest the issue is not with the dock, but with your ipods. Do you have anyone nearby that has one you could try? That would prove it one way or the other.

The Shuffle will work with Vista, but the current version of iTunes (7.1) has a few minor problems: - When disconnecting the iPod, use the iTunes disconnect feature, not the windows remove hardware feature. - If text on the iTuens screen is hard to read, resize the window to refresh it.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I just looked up the ipod nano vidio and realized that it does everything the classic does, it's just smaller. It even costs less. I also wasn't able to find any complaints on it, which is much more than can be said for the classic. Thanks again, I'm going to get that instead now and probably save myself a lot of disappointment.

Heads up for you Faerie :)Zune's software runs better than the iTunes inmho..and its easy to use..Just once click, and you can sync it..be it on USB or wireless..I was using nano before and it took me long time to get used to the iTunes software..Get the Zune and love your player! :)

I just bought the Cucusoft DVD to Zune converter, and it is GREAT!!!! I was frustrated initially because there would be occasional freezes in the output file, but then I discovered this program is not compatible with Vista. I installed it on my XP computer and it works wonderfully. Thanks guys!

The iPod Nano 7th Gen uses Bluetooth 4.0, and Apple chose to implement it without the Classic (backward compatibility) protocol, it is an option and they chose not to. This is not the speakers' fault, it's Apple's.

YES...although the specification stated on the device box mentioned Windows 8, 7, and XP it also works with Vista. I used it on Win 7 but since you asked question I installed it also on my Vista and it really works. Hope this help you.

I dont see why it wouldnt work on Vista. For one thing, it is probably just seen as a "USB Mass Storage Device" like every other mp3 player out there. Also, most XP apps work on Vista in "compatibility mode".I will risk it for the price. :)

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

I don't know what they're getting at with that description. The product requires Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. I'm not certain if it's compatible with Windows 8.1 yet or not. This is NOT MAC/Apple compatible. That version is clearly labeled as such.
