Hi Cheryl, If all you do is use that XP machine for iTunes and a few other things it's fine. If, however, you use it for spending time online, possibly buying items online or, even worse, doing things like online banking and so on you really putting yourself at risk. There have been no security updates for XP in some time and people who use it for things where security is a concern are putting themselves at a pretty big risk. Just saying.

Alan, Yeah, it is super weird that one device works while the other doesn't. Also, yay, someone else who thinks the way I do about xp. It suits my needs, I'll upgrade when my desktop dies. All I use itunes for is putting music on my devices, so because one of my devices works I can see no real reason to upgrade. If neither device synced that'd be different. Thanks for the good luck, I hope I can get this working, ugh.
