Itunes incompatible with Windows 7?

I have windows 7 and am running 64 bit
itunes USED to work ok before there were a few glitches but it was ok
now since I have downloaded the latest itunes (yes I downloaded the 64 bit version) it has not been working at all. I would open it and it would not pop up. So i went to task manager and it says itunes*32.exe. After about an hour or so itunes would open but it would just be frozen.
I have completely uninstalled it and all components of apple 6 times now.. I have tried to download the lastest itunes once again and an error msg would show up
*The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows*
*you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether*
*you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then*
*contact the software publisher.*
I have no idea what this means bcoz i downloaded the 64 bit version!!!
so i tried to download an older version i tried 9.2 which did not install..
and then tried 8.2 which installed but does not work!!!
so when i try to run 8.2 itunes NOTHING happens when i click task manager there it is in processes again as itunes*32.exe
I have never had any other version of windows on this laptop but i have tried to change the compatibility to other versions.. did not work ofcourse..
then tried troubleshoot and it just says itunes is incompatible..
i really dont understand how a month ago itunes was working and now its not
yes i have sweeped my computer for viruses and downloaded all the updates windows has suggested..
I dont know what else to do im no computer whiz
i have seen a fair few people with similar issues
any suggestions???

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows
you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether
you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then
contact the software publisher.
Try downloading an installer again:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Is the name of the file you're downloading iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe ? (The latter name is what the 64-bit installer file should be called.)
If you've been getting an iTunesSetup.exe, then your web browser hasn't been autodetecting your operating system correctly. So to get a 64-bit installer, on the left of the downloads page in the *Windows Software* text (you may need to scroll down to see that) click on the *64-bit installer* link. That'll take you through to a downloads page for the iTunes64Setup.exe.
Once you've got the latest 64 bit version installed again, we start checking on a few of the more common causes of error-message-free iTunes launch failures.
Some questions in the interest of narrowing in on possible culprits with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

  • Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

    Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

    It should still be compatible.  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps?  Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
    Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager.  See this article for details.

  • 10.5.0.142 update incompatible with windows 7

    I unfortunately updated my desktop (windows 7 32 bit) and laptop (windows 7 64 bit) to itunes 10.5.0.142. Update seems incompatible with windows 7. It has slowed both computers to a crawl, even when itunes not running. Itunes functions do not work or process at a dead crawl. Cannot access the store. Cannot sync iphone. Tried reinstalling previous itunes version, but previous version can't access itunes library, giving error message: "cannot access itunes library that was created by newer version of itunes." Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times. Have turned off all other processes to look for incompatibility, but issues remain. I am NOT PLEASED!.

  • Witch laptops are compatible/incompatible with windows XP/VISTA

    Hi so i am planning on buying Apple MacBook or maybe PRO
    i have a list of laptops that are served in our area:
    Apple MacBook Pro MA895
    Apple MacBook Pro MA610
    Apple MacBook Pro MA611
    Apple MacBook Pro MA897
    Apple MacBook MB062
    Apple MacBook MB063
    and i need to know wich one of those are compatible or incompatible with Windows XP? please make a quick response
    In advance thank you for your time

    All of the "MacBook" laptops are compatible with XP/Vista.
    One thing to note is that BootCamp is currently in the beta version (at least until when OS X Leopard comes out), so you may have some minor problems installing and running windows, but they should be fine.
    Another thing to note is since Vista craves a lot of CPU, RAM, HD and graphics, I would suggest you going to a MacBook Pro. I have heard that Vista does not run smoothly on computers with less than 2 GB RAM, nor does all of its features render well if you don't have a 128 MB graphics card. Increasing the MacBook's RAM to 2 GB may also significantly increase the performance.
    Either way, the option is yours. All of them should work out fine, with perhaps a couple of firmware updates

    I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive.   I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes.   With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE.  In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files.   When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive.  I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive.   Can anyone help?    I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world.   Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me!  Help !

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • Is there a way to make itunes autostart with windows in mini mode

    Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes.  Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

  • Can I use my Mac OS iTunes Library with Windows XP under Boot Camp?

    Hello. I have a Mac Pro with two drives, a 1TB Mac OS 10.5 drive and a 500GB Windows XP drive. I have a large iTunes library on my Mac OS drive, and I'd like to be able to access it when I'm using XP. I downloaded MacDrive hoping that I'd be able to use the same iTunes library, but I'm stuck as to what to do now. Anyone know if this is possible, and how I can get it to work?

    I have my entire iTunes library shared between Mac OS X 10.5.2 and XP (aka. Media Center 2005).
    I use an HFS+ volume accessed via MacDrive. In my case I started off with the Windows iTunes as the master (and use it to rip all my CDs). I then set the Mac side running iTunes to use the same iTunes folder as specified in Windows (this is done in Advanced Preferences). I also replaced the Mac "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" file (both stored in /Users/username/Music/iTunes) with aliases pointing to "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml" and "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" respectively.
    Note: I suspect the Mac side will need write access to these two files, and as I used FAT32 for the Windows volume the Mac does have write access. However there are now at least two ways for the Mac to get write access to NTFS volumes (MacFuse being one). It may also be possible to tell iTunes to store these files themselves in a common location (not tried that).
    While it is not relevant to your query, I have also managed to share my entire iTunes library with Windows Media Player (and therefore also to Media Center 2005). All my music is in Apple Lossless format and I have a directshow filter for WMP to let it play Apple Lossless (or unprotected AAC). I also have a plugin installed to let WMP read the meta tags in MPEG4 (i.e. AAC and Apple Lossless) files.
    When I switch from Windows to Mac and run iTunes it does a brief rebuild, when I switch from Mac to Windows it again does a brief rebuild and the result is that the list of music in iTunes on both operating systems is always the same and successfully accesses the same music files on the shared volume. I rebooted back in to Mac OS X at the weekend and was happily accessing the music in Front Row.

  • Does iTunes work with Windows 8?

    Does anyone know iTunes work with Windows 8? I know 10.7 was just realeased and I wondered if it added Windows 8 support or will I have to wait for iTunes 11?
    Windows 8 is not beta anymore, it is RTM although I know a public release isn't until October.
    I just want to know if people have it working or not.
    Many thanks

    I just installed iTunes 10.7 on windows 8.
    I can confirm the issues with iTunes on the windows 8 release preview still exist.
    Meaning that iTunes does work, but some devices cannot be connected nor synced. This seems to be a driver issue.
    For all I know what does work: iPad 1, iPad 2, New iPad, iPhone 4S.
    What does not work: iPhone 4.
    These I know for sure myself, other devices may or may not work, but I didn't try them myself.

  • Is itunes compatible with windows 8.1

    is itunes compatible with windows 8.1

    Bull-pucky the latest version is compatible!  I have spent the better part of a great Sat. downloading versions all the way back to 10.7 even deleting the Library.itl   file and starting fresh.  I am running Windows 8.1 / 64-bit. . . . .went into ITunes Store today and all of a sudden NO WORDS OR DESCRIPTIONS APPEAR, ONLY PICTURES OF ALBUMS.  How's one supposed to purchase anything when you cannot see what you're clicking on?  ITunes has long had issues with Win 8.1 which I'm aware of, but THEY have done something from their end (possibly with this new $7.99 per month change coming)  I'm assuming if I had a Mac this wouldn't be a problem, but this just stinks!  I purchase a ton of music and have 16 published stations, do they not want my $$ any longer?  Not negative towards you, sorry - can you help?

  • Is itunes compatible with windows 8

    Is itunes compatible with windows 8. I get 100% disk usage when downloading from itunes store.

    I have the same issue when downloading from itunes store. 100% Disk utilization and only writing ~2.5MB. This is a Windows 8-8.1/iTunes issue. On which side? who knows... But i don't have this issue when writing to my main drive, this is not a drive issue as i tried it on many drives and even on RAID 0. I hope they get this fixed, this is driving me nuts. I have a 50Mbps x 5Mbps Internet conneciton and its bottlenecking me at 25Mbps. Lame!

  • Is iTunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?

    Is Itunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?
    Every time I open iTunes, the Data Execution Prevention Closes it Down. We Have Windows XP

    I finally got it to work by making sure that I was running itunes as the "administrator".  Here's what I did: Right click on itunes......click on 'run as'.....click on "administrator", it'll ask for a password.  If you don't know it (like me) create a new account user called "Admin" with a password.  Everytime you want to use itunes do this.  I know it's a pain but so far so good.  Hope this helps.

I have tried purchasing a few songs but again it will not importto my ipod!! Im so confused! Can anyone help me please??

  • Adobe Photoshop Incompatible with Windows 7 ?

    I typically do not have problems installing Microsoft products, Corel products, HP products, AV software, dozens of other companies products on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have never had problems installing Adobe products on ME, XP, Vista. However, every recent Adobe product I have purchased have failed to install on Windows 7 Home Premium and it typically takes support several hours to fix, if it can be fixed at all. It involves creating new accounts, disabling services, disabling the UAC, doing partial restarts (I did not even know those existed) and normal restarts, etc (I do have administrative rights on my account(s)).
    Today I was working with customer support (taking control of my desktop). We did not succeed to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
    During the installation a windows dialog box was displayed which stated that the Adobe installation .exe file was incompatible with Windows UAC.
    There is clearly something wrong with the Adobe installer because Adobe products are the only products that cannot be installed.
    Why is it so difficult tp install Adobe products on a Windows 7 system?
    Does anyone know what is going on?
    Is the Adobe installer really incompatible with Windows 7 as the Windows dialog box stated?
    Thomas

    Thank you for your help all three of you,
    I finally succeeded to install.
    I was using the downloaded version (not the DVD), I should have mentioned that. I did two things. I turned off the UAC (as suggested) and I moved the installation files from my user account folder where they were placed by default (I initially just accepted the default). The user account was protected despite my administrative rights, which is why install using setup.exe in the user account location failed. I have a feeling that I would not have had to turn off the UAC or move the files out of the user account folder if I had run as administrator. I'll remember that next time. It is funny customer support did not see this.
    Anyway, now it is installed
