iTunes Repair Tool for Vista

So, you've upgraded to Vista but the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store have decided to stop working. Thankfully, Apple has made an iTunes Repair Tool available that should alleviate any problems you might have after the upgrade. They recommend that folks delay upgrading Windows until the next version of iTunes is made available, which should be within the next couple of weeks. Additional compatibility issues with iTunes 7.0.2. may include:

• iTunes Store purchases may not play when upgrading to Windows Vista from Windows 2000 or XP.
• iPod models with the "Enable Disk Use" option turned off may be unable to update or restore iPod software, and make changes to iPod settings.
• iPod models configured to Auto Sync and have the "Enable Disk Use" option turned off may require being ejected and reconnected to resync.
• Ejecting an iPod from the Windows System Tray using the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature may corrupt your iPod. To always safely eject an iPod, choose Eject iPod from the Controls menu within iTunes.
• Cover Flow animation may be slower than expected.
• Contacts and calendars will not sync with iPod.
