Itunes 64 bit version 11.1.5 windows 7 ultimate Won't Install

everytime i uninstall and reinstall it always rollingback im so frustrated with this itunes version 11.1.5

Hello xHarvesx,
It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPad.  I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system.
I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 64 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (64-bit)

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

  • 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

    I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp.  I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010.  I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something.  I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file. 
    So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit.  Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime.  Great, tell me where it is.  There is no option for 64-bit on the website.  It doesn't even say it is 64-bit.  It just says its compatible with Windows 7.  Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file.  The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
    The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed.  That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop.  It has no issues with the file.  It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief.  If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
    Ideas?  Where is the 64-bit version?  How do you tell it is 64-bit?  How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

    If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
    If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
    It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
    Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
    Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
    Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
    Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
    I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
    As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

  • Is there a nightly 64-bit version of firefox for windows?

    I know that you cannot compile a official stable version of 64 bit Windows because you mistakenly think it's enough with the unefficient 32bit version. But what I want to ask you is if there is a nightly version of 64 bit for windows, and if it exists, where can I get it, Zipped or installer (please, I would like binaries; I don't want to fight for hours with many configuration files, compiling process and so on).
    PD: Please release a 64 bit version of firefox on Windows. What more do you want to postpone it?
    I saw a st*pid answer like «Yep :) Firefox works fine on both 32bit and 64 bit, so no need to worry :) », but this is NOT a solution. I have a 64bit OS, then, I would like to use full advantages and performance of this more modern platform rather than a less capable version. I dont have many GB of RAM and a multicore CPU as a decoration.

    Win64 Nightly has existed for some time however they are not supported (like the Win32, Mac OSX 32/64-bit and Linux 32/64-bit are) as they are currently more for to catch breakage/regressions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Supported_build_configurations
    No it is not simply because the 32-bit version works.
    The 64-bit Windows builds has still been a work in progress on a number of things that needs to be in order, especially for Win64 Releases to happen.
    For reading as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum like here.
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471090 Bug 471090] - (tracking_win64) [meta] Windows x64 build tracking bug

  • 32-bit version odbcad32.exe (C:\windows\syswow64)

    1.     By default on any 64 bit machine, 64-bit version of odbcad32.exe (C:\windows\system32) is used.
    2.     It is also correct that one can use 32-bit version odbcad32.exe (C:\windows\syswow64) and add DB entries in System DSN .
    3.     But, even following Step 2, given above, Alter audit report is failing out.
    4.     It would be great help, if you let us know what additional step she used to run Alter audit report in WINDOWS 2008 R2 server.

    PeopleSoft client tools such as application designer, datamover, etc run on 32 bit, where as PeopleTools is installed on 64 bit servers.
    You need to add a system DNS for both 32 bits as 64 bits.
    The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.
    The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder.
    This is also stated in the installation manual of PeopleTools, Appendix B Installing a database manually
    Snipet from the installation manual:
    Task B-2: Configuring an ODBC Data Source
    Now that you have established your database name and location, you can set up an ODBC data source on the database client.
    Note. With Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and above a new connectivity driver was delivered for Microsoft SQL Server databases named “Sql Native Client” or SNAC. Ensure that you use this driver during installation.
    If you are running on a 64-bit machine, confirm that you are using the correct connectivity drivers. PeopleSoft PeopleTools executables are 32-bit, but can be run on a 64-bit machine. If you are running on a 64-bit
    operating system you still need to utilize the 32-bit connectivity drivers for PeopleSoft PeopleTools. Use this information to verify that the ODBC Data Administrator odbcad32.exe is running from the correct
    location. The ODBC Data Administrator resides in the following two locations on a 64-bit Microsoft Windows machine:
    • The 32-bit version odbcad32.exe is found in C:\windows\syswow64: This is for 32-bit applications running on a 64-bit operating system. This is the correct version for PeopleSoft PeopleTools.
    • The 64-bit version odbcad32.exe is found in C:\windows\system32: This is for 64-bit applications running on a 64-bit operating system.
    When you run odbcad32 on a 64-bit Microsoft Windows machine (Start, Programs, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, ODBC Data Administrator), the 64-bit version of odbcad32.exe (C:\windows\system32)
    is used by default. In order to run 32-bit PeopleSoft PeopleTools, be sure to include a System DSN entry for the 32-bit version odbcad32.exe (C:\windows\syswow64).

  • Windows updates won't install

    Hello,
    I have a remote user whose Windows updates won't install. He has a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. You can bring up the update windows and start the install but, at exactly 10 seconds, it just says "Updates failed" and doesn't really give
    any more information.
    I saw the Windows update service was stopped, I started it and that didn't seem to help. I also tried the update troubleshooter and that didn't do anything. I checked for malware and didn't find any, and he has plenty of disk space. I didn't see
    anything in Even Viewer or Reliability Monitor either.
    What could it be?
    Thanks. 
    Chris Hansen

    Hi Chris,
    Firstly, please check if those Windows Update have already installed:
    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
    Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2.In the left pane, click View update history.
    3. Click Installed Updates at the top of the page, there check if any Windows Update installed recently.
    If there is no any Windows Update installed, try to
    reset the Windows Update component to check if it could resolve the issue.

  • Windows Updates won't install - Error 0x80072EFD

    Question 
    Windows Updates won’t install.  I’m receiving Error 0x80072EFD.  What can I do to solve this?
    Answer 
    This particular error means that your computer was not able to connect to the Internet when it tried to install updates.  First, check your Internet connection and then try again. If that doesn’t work, try the methods below.
    Method A: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on, and temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    To complete this method, follow these steps.
    Step 1: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on
    To open Windows Firewall, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
    Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Click On (recommended), and then click OK.
    Step 2: Temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    Under Firewall, read the firewall status note. This information will indicate which, if any, firewall is installed and whether the firewall is turned on. For example, for ZoneAlarm, the notice will say ZoneAlarm Firewall is currently ON.
    Open the third-party firewall application that is listed in the firewall status note, and temporarily disable the firewall. If necessary, refer to the firewall application documentation, or contact the application vendor for more information about how to temporarily disable the application.
    Step 3: Try to install the updates again
    If this method resolved your issue, follow the steps in Method B, step 2 to re-enable your third-party firewall. You might want to also check for and install any necessary updates to your third-party firewall.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method B.
    Method B: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus software
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Locate and temporarily disable your third-party antivirus software
    Note Windows does not detect all antivirus software, and some antivirus software doesn't report its status to Windows. If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, and you're not sure how to find it, try any of the following:
    Look for the antivirus software in the list of programs on the Start menu.
    Type the name of the software or the publisher in the Search box on the Start menu.
    Look for the software in Action Center:
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
    If the software is turned on, check the Help documentation that was included with the software for information about how to disable it.
    Note You may have to look in the application documentation to determine how to do this.
    Step 2: Check for Windows Updates
    As soon as the antivirus software is temporarily disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, and you were able to install the updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party antivirus software.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method C.
    Method C: Disable software accelerator programs
    Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method B, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Disable software accelerator programs
    To do this, select from the following options:
    See the documentation that was included with the program.
    View the Help files for your program.
    Contact the program vendor. For information about how to contact the program vendor, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors
    Step 2: Install Updates
    As soon as the software accelerator program is disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, you should enable the software accelerator programs that you disabled in Step 1.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method E.
    Method D: Add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    To add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list, follow these steps:
    Start Windows Internet Explorer.
    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Note If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and the menu is not available, press the ALT key on your keyboard to access the Internet Explorer Menu.
    Click the Security tab, and then click Trusted Sites.
    Click Sites, and then click to clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
    In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the following addresses, and then click Add after you type each address:
    http://update.microsoft.com
    http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
    Click OK two times.
    Try to install the updates again.
    If this method resolved your issue and you were able to install updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party firewall if it is still disabled. To do this, see step 2 in Method A.
    For more methods and advanced troubleshooting techniques, see You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates.

    Mark, I've just been through this update issue with two installations.  In my case, it seemed intertwined with authentification and indexing not working, either.    Upon a transfer of my system disk to new hardware I got hit with the issue and couldn't fix it.  Which is why I did a clean install of Win7 ultimate 64bit on my T61p.  The install (including update) worked great until I ran the intel matrix storage manager update.  This broke windows update.  If you surf the web, and include "intel rapid storage manager" or "intel matrix storage manager" and "Windows update fails", you'll see that a lot of folks feel that the intel driver (or how windows handles it) is what breaks update.  I tracked this down to a driver, iastor.sys, in windows\system32\drivers.    I was able to fix my Window Update by copying an iastor.sys from another recently built machine (should be exactly the same, but this was my wife's T510, but still Win 7 Pro 64) to overwrite the iastor.sys that the intel update changed.  To be clear: I couldn't get windows update or indexing to work.  I overwrote* the "bad" iastor.sys with one that worked on another computer.  Rebooted.  Update worked. I just wanted to point out that instead of blindly installing updates to fix problems, folks should be aware that sometimes the update is the problem. Especially as these systems are off warranty and the drivers are not being updated.  I've asked elsewhere, so let me ask here: Where is the System Interface Driver for t61p?  Not listed anywhere on site, links on the web referring to it are all broken.  Is the System Interface Driver now part of another driver program?  Thanks! Jim T61p, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, and T510, Win 7 Pro 64bit

  • Airplay not detected in itunes latest version 11.+ on windows 7

    Im not able to stream to apple TV from windows 7 laptop.  Was able to do so up to 2 weeks ago

    The current (nearly) all 64-bit version of iTunes doesn't integrate with QuickTime. If you have content that needs QuickTime on your system then uninstall iTunes and all supporting components, then install the version of iTunes found here: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and reinstall QuickTime. The "for older video cards" release is a 64-bit installer for the core 32-bit iTunes application, similar to all 64-bit releases of iTunes prior to 12.1 and will work with QuickTime.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • WSUS + BITS Versions + Peer Caching + BranchCache + Windows Editions = HEADACHE!

    We have a WSUS server in the main office (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard).
    We have a branch office with Windows 7 Professional clients and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard and Enterprise servers, which means these computers are using BITS 4.0 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968799(VS.85).aspx).
    To save on disk space, we prefer not to set up a WSUS downstream replica server in the branch office if we can use BITS 4.0 with BranchCache.
    Researching WSUS and BITS Versions and Peer Caching and BranchCache and Windows Editions has been confusing. Some questions…
    These pages in the BITS section of MSDN all say: “Starting with Windows 7, the BITS 3.0 peer caching model is deprecated. If BITS 4.0 is installed, the BITS 3.0 peer caching model is unavailable.” However, these pages also say: “BITS (4.0) uses
    the Windows BranchCache for peer caching,” and “Starting with Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0, the BITS service was extended to allow subnet-level peer caching for downloaded URL data by using Windows BranchCache.”
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362708(v=vs.85).aspx
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964314(v=vs.85).aspx
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964240(v=vs.85).aspx
    And this page says: “(BITS 4.0 New Feature) Peer caching now uses Windows BranchCache. This new peer caching model replaces the model used for BITS version 3.0.”
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363167(VS.85).aspx
    Okay, fine. BITS 3.0 peer caching is unavailable for Win7/2008 R2, but BITS 4.0 “peer caching” does work by using BranchCache. Got it. So, do we understand correctly that the various “peer caching” group policy settings under Computer Configuration – Policies
    – Administrative Templates – Network – Background Intelligent Transfer Service have
    no effect at all for BITS 4.0 clients?
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362844(v=vs.85).aspx
    Next, the link at the end of this paragraph says: “Windows BranchCache must be enabled on the client through a group policy or local configuration settings.” Okay, fine. We followed the instructions at the second link to enable BranchCache for our
    Windows 7 clients. Interestingly, the description in the Turn on BranchCache group policy setting (under Computer Configuration – Policies – Administrative Templates – Network – BranchCache) says: “For this policy setting to take effect, you must install
    the BranchCache feature on the client computer.” However, it seems that the BranchCache feature is
    already installed by default (although not enabled) on Windows 7, because there’s no option to add BranchCache in Control Panel – Programs and Features – Turn Windows features on or off, and there’s already a BranchCache service on
    Windows 7. So, does this statement actually not apply to Windows 7 (and only Windows Server 2008 R2)?
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964314(v=vs.85).aspx
       http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637820.aspx
    Next, the link below says: “The Windows BranchCache feature is an optional component that must be installed on the server,” and “The server must also enable the Windows BranchCache feature though group policy.” Okay, fine. We followed the
    instructions at the second link to enable it for our Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. However, we would like one of our servers in the branch office to be the “Hosted Cache” server, and the remaining Win7/2008 R2 computers to just be “clients” that use the
    Hosted Cache server (for the WSUS updates). So, in this case, does only the
    Configuring a Web server or a BITS application server to use BranchCache section at this link apply to our Hosted Cache server, meaning no other steps are necessary beyond just installing the BranchCache feature? Or, do we have to go through the
    Configuring a file server to use BranchCache section?
    Likewise, does the Computer Configuration – Policies - Administrative Templates – Network - Lanman Server - Hash Publication for BranchCache group policy setting apply to us if we’re just looking to use BranchCache for WSUS updates and nothing else?
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964314(v=vs.85).aspx
       http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637785.aspx
    In doing more research I believe that, for Hosted Cache mode, the BranchCache feature must be installed on
    both the WSUS server at the main site and on a server at the branch office. Is this correct?
    Next, we want to configure the BranchCache Hosted Cache mode group policy setting. However, this setting says: “This address must match the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the server specified in the certificate for the BranchCache server's certificate,”
    and “the certificate root for the BranchCache server's certificate must be in the client computer's trusted root store.” Since our BranchCache clients will only be using BITS for WSUS updates (via HTTP), is it still necessary to install a certificate
    on the Hosted Cache server? (If Yes, that's too bad, because it really complicates BranchCache deployments, especially when all of the computers are within your Active Directory domain).
    Next, there’s the Configure BranchCache for network files group policy setting. Since this setting uses SMB, we’re assuming this does not apply to BranchCache used by BITS clients, and so we don't need to configure it. Is this correct?
    So, in Summary: We just want to use BITS with BranchCache for the computers in our branch office to access WSUS updates on a local server that’s acting as a BranchCache Hosted Cache server. And we’d prefer not to have to deal with certificates to make this
    happen, if possible.
    Sorry for the long post, but there’s just no clear, one-stop place that informs us how to configure all of this.
    Oh, and is all of the above completely irrelevant
    for us since this TechNet page says BranchCache requires the
    Enterprise Editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2? I sure hope not…   :o)

    First, I'm curious as to why you think that a BranchCache server would consume any less disk space than a WSUS replica server?
    Because whereas our WSUS server stores all approved updates long-term, the BranchCache server would only store the updates needed for the branch office's computers, and
    short-term.
    Hmm.. this is not a benefit of branch-cache, it's merely a manifestation of an improperly maintained WSUS server.
    The WSUS has over 100GB of updates.
    Which is about TEN TIMES what should be held on a well-maintained WSUS server. :-)
    The BranchCache server should use less than 5GB since it would keep only the most recent updates
    Thus, BranchCache would contain about 50% IN CACHE of what a WSUS Replica Server would contain ON DISK.
    This TechNet page says: "BITS uses the following Group Policies to enable and configure the peer caching," but then it says: "BITS 4.0:  The BITS 3.0 Group Policies are deprecated.
    Yeah, I did a double-take first time I saw that too... what it means is that those settings, originally used in BITS 3.0 have been deprecated, and now, with BITS 4.0 and BrancheCache you need to use the BITS 4.0 settings.
    BrancheCache functionality is only available in the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7.
    A hosted cache server must be Enterprise or DataCenter editions; the functionality is not available in Standard Edition.
    Evidently for Windows 8 Professional, BranchCache
    is available for BITS (not SMB), but that's not true for Windows 7 Professional
    This is a manifestation of the change in SKUs availabe in those two products. There is no Windows 8 Ultimate, only Professional and Enterprise, and there's no longer an Enterprise Edition of the Server OS.
    In this case, when Microsoft removed the BITS 3.0 peer caching functionality with BITS 4.0 and replaced it with BranchCache, they effectively required you to use the Enterprise editions of Win7/2008 R2
    Yes. BranchCache is a feature designed for Enterprise-scale organizations with Remote offices. The presumption, and a reasonable one at that, is that such organizations have volume licensing, and with volume licensing, desktops will be installed with Enterprise
    Edition.
    The requirement of WS2008R2 Enterprise Edition is a bit more onerous, but it's nothing new. Microsoft has always made notable feature distinctions between Standard and Enterprise Editions.
    What's really significant now, though, is that Windows Server 2012 does not have an "Enterprise Edition". There's Standard Edition and Datacenter Edition, and ALL features are in BOTH editions ... so something to consider here if I've not yet convinced you
    that the simplicity of a replica WSUS server is a better choice than the complexity of implementing BranchCache -- consider deploying WS2012 instead of WS2008R2.
