Apple warns MS Vista could `corrupt` iPods


California`s Apple Inc. has warned iPod users to stay clear of Microsoft Corp`s new Vista operating system, alleging it could damage their iPods.

Apple said iPod users should not upgrade their PCs to Vista until Apple releases a patch to fix a number of compatibility issues, one of which 'may corrupt your iPod.'


A statement posted on Apple`s Web support forum says upgrading to Vista from Windows 2000 or Windows XP may prevent users from playing songs purchased and downloaded to the desktop iTunes player from Apple`s online iTunes store.


In addition, the iPod may become corrupted if users try to eject their digital music player from a desktop port using the 'Safely Remove Hardware' feature found on the Vista system tray, Apple says.
