Iriver H10 V's Vista

Try plugging in usb with the H10 turned off. Now, press the select button (with the round symbol on it) while turning the H10 on. This starts the player in 'emergency mode' and should be recognized by XP

You can download the software from this site;
http://www.iriver.com.au/iriver/index.cfm?pageID=10001

Probably also from worldwide site. www.iriver.com

As a work-around you can copy files with Explorer to the Music folder and use the Browser on H10 to play them.

To sync your device use either winamp or Iriver plus (winamp is better)
-Download winamp from http://www.winamp.com/player
-Iriver plus http://www.iriver.com/support/down_view.asp?idx=860

I have lately experienced the same problem with my H10 20GB. I noticed it happened after installing some other software. I think there is an conflict between iriver and apple, I mean iTunes Helper present in memory causes the trouble. I stopped the process from Task Manager and reconnected my H10. It helped. If you don't need iTune Helper you'd better disable "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe" from starting with system.

Fimrware upgrade might actually result in this problem - check the iRiver help forums - i believe I saw a horde of people with this issue

well itunes only works with the ipod for syncing music, windows media player 10 and 11 is where you would sync you music i would add your music to the media player library and go from there
