Microsoft says you can now use your iPod with Vista and avoid killing all your songs.
Microsoft believes it has solved the problems caused when Vista users tried to eject their iPods, although it said the same thing in March.
Microsoft said you can now use your iPod with Vista and avoid killing all your songs.
BetaNews noticed that Microsoft issued a fix on Tuesday that the software giant claims will correct an issue that could lead to corrupt data on iPods if users attempted to eject their device using the "Safely Remove Hardware" or Windows Explorer features.
In March, Microsoft released a similar patch that was supposed to fix the problems. However, the new patch was issued with Microsoft's Nick White calling it a "final compatibility update" on the Windows Vista blog. The old patch has gone from Microsoft's site.
White said that Apple and Microsoft worked together on the final fix.
Earlier this year Apple updated iTunes to make it compatible with Vista, and urged iPod users to eject their iPods only by using the "eject iPod" button inside iTunes.
