Microsoft Corp. has a final patch available to fix an issue with Windows Vista that could leave a user's iPod corrupt and in need of a restore once it is disconnected. The problem was with the "Safely Eject Hardware" (ironic?) feature in Windows Vista. If a user chose the Safely Eject Hardware or the Eject command in Windows Explorer, the iPod device could be corrupted and would need iTunes' restore features.
Several compatibly bugs and issues arose between Apple's iTunes and iPods and the Windows Vista operating system. Apple was unable to fix the iPod bug or several graphics problems with iTunes when the iTunes 7.1 update was released, and so warned its users against using Vista with either.
Get the update here or wait for it to be delivered via Automatic Updates on Tuesday, May 22nd.
