Windows 7; 64bit

After 4 hours on the phone with Apple support, I was told that ITunes does NOT support Windows 7, 64 bit. It will not work. Anyone hanve any idea of when Apple will release a 64bit version for Windows 7? Any other solution?

SantaFeJoe, i'm curious what motherboard and CPU you have. I had tons of problems when I switched to a P55 chipset but these have just been resolved with BIOS updates for a number of people. I've been able to use iTunes in Win7 64-bit on multiple pieces of hardware including a Dell Latitude laptop and a Gigabyte based Core2Duo system.
Also wondering what device you're trying to sync with.
This thread details some of the symptoms, and this last page and page 9 are where people including myself finally have some stability:

  • My iPhone 4 will no longer back up in iTunes after my upgrade to Windows 7 64bit.

    I used to have Windows XP 32bit and everything worked fine.
    I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit and installed iTunes 64bit (I've also tried running the installer as administrator [in the compatibility properties]).
    iTunes will recognise it with no problems and I can drag and drop anything I want to the iPhone, but I can't back up.
    Software versions: iTunes v10.4.0.80, iPhone 4.3.5.
    When I try to back up, the loading bar with either:
    Have a loading bar with diagonal lines forever or,
    it will start moving and freeze.
    I've tried leaving the process for hours, but to no avail.
    While the back up is being attempted, iTunes still retains full functionality.
    I would exit by sliding the bar on my iPhone (iTunes will retain the loading bars as if frozen) and then unplug it. At this point iTunes takes a few seconds to drop the loading bar altogether, and the little screen will reset to normal functionality.
    I believe this may be a iTunes-Windows thing as I did the following with my old laptop (Windows XP 32bit):
    Installed iTunes for the first time.
    Went into preferences and disabled the automatic backup option.
    Plugged in the iPhone, right-click "back up".
    The back up took less than 5 minutes.
    I don't understand why my main PC can't back up my iPhone.
    Can anyone help please?
    I've tried researching the same problems and I've ended up doing the following:
    Reinstalling iTunes,
    Tried changing the iTunes installation folder to "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)",
    Deleting all contents from: "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup",
    Deleting the apps from my phone in case there are corrupt apps (doesn't make sense though as it backed up fine on my old laptop).
    I would appreciate any suggestions!
    Kind regards,
    Will

    Hi there,
    I have the same issue. Usually hangs after 10K od sometimes after 18MB of backup file.
    Config: iTunes 10.4., Win 7 64bit, iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3
    I tried all of these without success:
    - deleted backups via iTunes / Preferences
    - deleted backups from sync folder
    - created a new admin user and tried to sync
    - reinstalled iTunes
    - ran all Windows updates, restarted, reinstalled iTunes
    - ran iTunes / Diagnostics (says everything okay, only info which is strange: diag says I am not a admin user, which is not correct)
    Nothing helped. Who can help. I hope someone from Apple can take care, as I seem not to be the only one. Actually iTunes is the worst part about iPhone. Hope with iOS 5 and Cloud sync to get rid of iTunes.
    Any hints welcome,
    Cheers,

  • Install JMF on Windows 7 64bit

    Dear all,
    After a lot of struggling (and a really mean a lot), I finally got jmf to work on Windows 7 64bit. I figured that I can better not let this information go to waste, so that's why I'm posting it here. I didn't really test the full capabilities of jmf on my platform yet, in fact I only tested those features that I needed for my application. As such I am able to successfully capture and record video clips from my build in webcam of my laptop.
    First let me describe my platform:
    Laptop: Samsung R590 (JS01)
    Processor: I5 450M (64bit)
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    Webcam: build in
    Secondly I want to apologize in advance if the method below doesn't work for you. The reason for that can be that I had to try so many different things before I finally got it to work, so I'm not really sure which steps are necessary and which ones are not. So I tried to make a guide that only includes the necessary steps, but in reality I tried so much more, so if this tutorial doesn't work for you, please give me feedback, and we'll try to figure it out. :)
    Step one: installation of java JRE/JDK
    JMF will never work on a 64bit JRE/JDK, plain and simple because JMF is too old and doesn't support a 64bit JRE/JDK. Thus your first step has to be to install a 32 bit JRE/JDK on your system. (I uninstalled my 64 bit JRE/JDK first, but I don't now whether or not this is necessary)
    Step two: download JMF with windows performance pack
    Go to the jmf site and download the most recent jmf version, with windows performance pack. (This is - and will probably be forever - version 2.1.1e)
    The link to the website is currently: [https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=7372-jmf-2.1.1e-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer]
    Step three: install JMF
    Install the file you just downloaded in the normal way you would install any other program. But chose as installation path: "C:\JMF2.1.1e"
    I think this is necessary because of the strict security policy in Windows 7, if you don't do this, I guess jmf won't be able to store capture device settings to your local hard drive. (But again, I'm not completely sure here, please verify this if possible)
    After the installation, you don't have to do anything special to get jmf to work, so you don't manually have to set the JMFDIR, PATH and CLASSPATH (as is explained at the sun website), just skip those steps.
    After the installation, reboot your pc.
    Remark: I recommend you to install jmf as an administrator (but I don't now whether or not this is necessary). To do this, right click the installation file and select: "run as administrator'.
    *Step four: register your capture devices*
    First make sure that all your devices are working properly, I recommend you to use a program like Skype or something just to check whether your microphone is working or not.
    Secondly, open jmfstudio, select 'file > preferences > capture devices', and press the button 'detect capture devices'. Normally you will have to wait for a couple of minutes now (because the determination of all the available video formats takes quite a while). Afterwards jmf should have found all of your devices, that usually looks something like this:
    DirectSoundCapture
    JavaSound audio capture
    vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0
    But this can vary according to your configuration off course. :)
    *Step four: test your capture devices*
    In jmfstudio, select 'file > capture' and select the video and audio combo and see if your webcam settings work. You should now be able to view and hear yourself.
    *Step five: that's it, enjoy your jmf*
    *Remarks:*
    My development platform is currently netbeans 6.9.1 and I am able to write code, build it and run it with netbeans. I can also just run normal *.jar files
    *Troubleshoot:*
    If you get a dialog screen when starting your video capture device that looks like this: [http://www.alexandria.nu/ai/machine_vision/dual_cameras/SelectDevice.gif]
    (With off course another name for the capture device), then that means that your capturing device is currently occupied by another program and you can't currently use it.
    To solve this, make sure that no other application is using the webcam. For me even this was insufficient, but I managed to solve this by installing the latest drivers for my webcam from the manufacturing site of my laptop.
    I sincerely hope this tutorial can be of any use for someone, feel free to give me comments/suggestions. And please post here if this works for you or not.
    Greetings, Molly

    Hi
    sure I follow each of your steps, I uninstall all java verisones and installed a new java version 32-bit, I installed JMF in "C: \ JMF2.1.1e".
    when all installing finished, works fine JMF only once, I do the tests, recognizes the device; shows the video, but when I close and open again JStudio don't works throws error, and therefore my apliación not working, always returns null the device

    Looks like the first two warnings are security level warnings meaning that your silent install will not grant the correct security level for what ever reason. I suspect it needs admin level maybe?
    Here is a link. Read #8 as it has to do with silent installs. The log will give you more hints on what you did wrong.

  • Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

    As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium.  I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve.  This however just cropped up after two months of successful use.  Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available.  I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360.  I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared.  When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range.  If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time.  I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that 

    Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
    All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
    already connected to a wireless network on startup.
    I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
    Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
    well.
    Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
    1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    2. Double-click on Network adapters.
    3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
    4. Click on the Advanced tab.
    5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
    6. Set the Value to Disabled. 
    7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).

  • Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes.  All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App.  They all did before.  Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes.  Any Ideas?

    Installed a new Windows PC on my home network.  PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit.  My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now.  None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on.  All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app.  When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code.  I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices.  You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to.  Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before.  However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV.  Growing fustrated.  Any ideas, would be helpful.

    Cunning1_
    You are a legend!!  I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!!  I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!!  Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
    Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

  • Can I use External Display on a Window 7 64bit 13" Macbook Pro Early 2010

    I have a 23" LED LG Monitor , It has VGA Cable , RCA Cable and HDMI Plug (but no wire). I am asking now if whether I should need a VGA Cable or a RCA Cable or a HDMI cable. I know there's the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter. Should I get that? And does window 7 64bit professional bootcamp support any external display? If not , is there another way to get it working.

    You should be able to hook it right up just like if it was a "normal" Windows Laptop.
    Windows would be the one to set it up with. Make sure you've updated Boot Camp.
    You probably should use an "Apple Mini Display" port -to- HDMI adapter as that should give you more display options, etc. (I'm not sure how high the 13" can go on resolutions, HDMI or VGA may not matter?)
    You MAY have to use a separate sound cable between the laptop and monitor as some HDMI -to- (whatever) adapters don't carry the sound signal via an "adapter".
    The next choice would be a Mini Display port to VGA adapter.
    You may want to also ask this question in the "Computing Hardware/MacBook Pro" area as they may have more info?
    Hope this helps...

  • Itunes 10.2will not install amds on windows 7 64bit

    I have spent the last two days on the Internet and apple support to try and install iTunes 10 64bit onto my new computer running windows 7 64bit.All I find on Apple support is about removeing and reinstalling not about amsd missing or not installing and uninstalling in a certain order and reinstalling, have done this more times than I care to say. iTunes 10 installs then rolls back and does not install the apple mobile device support msi.I have done everything suggested by support forums and everything requested by apple support and the final comment from them was if this doesn't work they don't know, not to great an answer.
    I am now very frustrated and angry that a fault like this has not been solved by Apple, as I now have a new computer and a useless iTunes that will not sync my iPhone 4 or my iPod or my wife's iphone3gs or her iPod shuffle.
    I don't know what to do now as my last resort I put the computer back to factory settings and it still did not work,sorry forgot to mention I extracted the apple mobile devise support .msi with winrar and tried to install it separately but still no luck,
    does anyone out there have answer PLEASE PLEASE HELP ?

    hi
    i've been having the same problem. spoken to online support, they made appointment for genius bar, tech guy seemed to know his stuff but this issue was unknown to him. they agreed to give me a knew phone, eventually told me on day to when i returned that they had exhausted everything and that it was a pc software issue. possibly i should think about getting a mac or using another laptop! they also said that iphone works fine on mac but that there are som many versions of windows that it was difficult to keep up.
    handing out replacement iphones and tech guys not know that there is a problem with windows 7 surely isn't good for business
    apple support... can you address this problem asap please. i have restricted use and would like to get the full benefit of using my iphone 4
    thanks
    ps word of mouth is a powerful. the number of people who are concerned about updating to iphone is growing and i've not been able to recommend

  • I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

    I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

    Again thank you.  If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email.  That's my understanding anyway.  Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator  as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

  • Excel VBA - ActiveX Control - MonthView not available under ActiveX Toolbox for Windows 8 64bit MS Office 2010

    Hello,
    I have Windows 8, 64bit and Office 2010
    I am trying to get the 'datepicker' (MonthView) ActiveX control toolbox in Excel 2010 as part of a Excel UserForm I have created. I have spent all day trying to find a solution for my problem.
    I opened up the 'more.. ' but the MonthView/datepicker/calendar control is not listed.
    I referred to some articles and confirmed that I do indeed have the mscomct2.ocx file in the C:\Windows\syswow64 folder.
    I followed the instructions as above, opening up the Administrator Command Prompt and changed the directory to C:\Windows\syswow64 and typed in RegSvr32.
    I received a popup screen confirming my registration was successful
    Excel was closed. So I opened Excel and checked out the ActiveX Tool box and clicked on the 'More  Controls', but there was no listing for the Microsoft MonthView control, (nor datepicker/calendar)
    I then downloaded the latest Windows Common Controls 2 6.0 from the following site
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381
    Copied the original file (2008) and saved it elsewhere on the computer for safekeeping.
    Extracted the new mscomct2.ocx.
    Under the C:\Windows\syswow64 I changed the original file properties to allow me to overwrite it with the new file. This worked … old file replaced.
    I then registered the new file via the Administrator Command Prompt (as above) and was notified that it was successful. I rebooted pc and went back into Excel to find the MonthView in the
    ActiveX toolbox, More Controls… and it still wasn’t there …
    I would be very grateful if someone could advise how I can get this control and allow me to use it.
    If I have left out any information that you need to resolve this issue, please advise.
    Cheers,
    TheShyButterfly
    Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

    Hi George,
    Thank you for checking this out ... :)
    I am using Office 2010 64 bit ...
    I found the
    mscomct2.ocx file originally within the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory (this was an original file .... which I expect was installed via Microsoft at the time of the Office installation.
    As I mentioned above, I followed
    the instructions (same as the ones you suggested), but still no go, even though it stated that the registration was successful ! :(
    Why weren't these features included in the 64 bit ? ... yes, I read the article ... but ... so MS doesn't think that people/developers would be needing this in due course?  I installed the 64bit version because I'm running the Win8 64bit version ...and
    I deal with a lot of large spreadsheets and can't afford to sleep whilst they decide to load.
    If MS included all the other ActiveX controls and some obscure ones, surely some bright spark could have thought that something as useful as MonthView should be included as 'basic' necessity when dealing with forms and sheets?
    Perhaps you could pass the suggestion up the line .... there are a lot of other people out there having the same problem ... I found heaps when I was looking for a solution.
    Sorry, I'm not having a go at you, but just incredibly frustrated .... the amount of lost productivity directly cause by trying to find a solution that doesn't exist ... it's been at least a good solid 24 hours.
    But thank you for taking the time to review my post and your suggestion. It's unfortunate that because you are part of the organisation ... you tend to cop some slack from frustrated people like myself.
    In relation to the pictures/screen dumps, 2 of them made it (I can see them in my post) ... one I deliberately left out because there was nothing on there that showed anything other than the rest of the 'More Controls' - nothing to do with the MonthView.
    Please feel free to escalate this to the powers that be ... and hopefully enough people will join the voice so a change can be made (I can dream ... can't I?)
    I've taken a screen dump of the Forms/ActiveX toolbox.
    I don't know what the next step is ... I guess you'd be able to advise.
    Cheers,
    TheShyButterfly
    Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

  • Report Builder 11g on Windows 7(64bit)?

    Hi Oracle Guys
    I know that Report Builder 11g is not certified on Windows 7 (64Bit)
    Knows someone if release 2 it is planned ?
    Or knows someone for when the releases 2 or a patch is planned?
    We want to install next year new Developer-Clients and we want to know if Windows 7 64bit is an “no go”
    thx
    Alfred
    Edited by: alinzenb on 16.08.2010 15:47

    I use the 11g Reports Builder on 64bit Windows 7.
    It works fine except that it doesn't like the Aero interface. Windows automatically switches to basic mode when you're running the builder.
    If you're ok with that then you shouldn't have any problems.
    Cheers,
    Toby.

    Above spec machine has an onboard marrvel 66xx raid card, a raid 5 volume has been created, total useable space is around 5.5TB.
    The software in play here is the following..
    Orignal Lenovo recovery disk set, this is Rescue and recovery boot disk 1, then the OS which is Vista 32 Business, the disk label is actual 64bit but its not 64bit its 32bit.
    The machine finally has to leave with Windows 7 64bit ultimate.
    I have looked into the upgrade paths and so on and basicly you need vista 64bit ultimate in theory, certain hacks are possible such as renaming the os level or name via the registery, but this is dirverting from my post.
    Here is what has been done and what has happend.
    20th Jan.
    Start of day.
    Raid 5 volume created.
    Factory recovery completed windows vista business 32bit.
    Attempt to upgrade Windows vista business to Windows 7 ultimate from with in windows, windows 7 alerts this is not a compatable system etc.
    At this stage since the 64bit upgrade is not possible from the known good lenovo state (lenovo vista business factory desktop etc) the second disks in the "Windows 7 32bit + 64bit any time upgrade package was ran.
    The 32bit version of the Windows 7 ultimate was ran, this did complete sucessfully.
    The 64bit version of the windows 7 was attempted once more from with in the newly installed Windows 7 32 bit but again this upgrade route is not supported.
    At this stage a custom install was completed (which means a fresh install which wipes the drive) / fresh install, of the windows 7 64bit any time upgrade disk.
    For some reason the Windows 7 64bit any time upgrade key failed to be accepted.
    At this stage a second engineer repeated all steps completed to verify and on the second go around the FRESH install of Windows 64bit any time upgrade (stand alone install / custom etc) the key worked!..
    This is were it gets interesting.
    Lets recap, we have a D20 with 5x1.5tb sata hard drives in raid 5, all on the onboard marvel raid card.
    Windows 7 64bit has been sucessfully installed, and of course the next step is to install the lenovo system update tool. (version for windows 7, I understand this is fully 64bit compatable..)
    This was completed and pc doctor and one other misc application install, the system requested to restart and then ....
    The raid BIOS of the marvel card reported that the raid had become degraded..!!
    An inspection of the onboard raid information results that the disk 0 of the 5 disks, was no longer assigned to the RAID 5, with teh remaining several disks still "assigned".
    At this stage the only option is to delete the raid five array and recreate it.
    This has been done and the factory recovery process has once again been restarted and an attempt will be made to perform the custom install with hopefully the windows 7 64bit any time upgrade install detecting the previous version although I would say that it would not need to detect anything since this is now longer an upgrade but a custom fresh install.
    Further information.
    There is a System bios update from the 5th of Jan 2010, this has been burnt to cd and will be applyed against the machine shortly.
    We have had some conversation about just how it is that a disk can fatally pop out from the raid five volume like this, was it a coincidence that it coninsided with the power cycle process dirrectly after the system update installation?
    Tommorow a Windows 64bit OEM package will be applied against this machine and since we have the relivant driver file for the onboard raid card (sourced from the drivers and applications lenovo recovery disk set), there should be less of a problem in key acceptance.
    Kind of a werid situation, what looks like a possible hardware problem and a stupid microsoft upgrade qulification problem.
    Is there any thing stupid I have over looked?
    Thanks, sorry for the long post but this is the story in full.
    Note from Moderator:  Fixed formatting issue.

    21st Jan..
    The D20 has sucessfully had vista business factory reinstalled and then Windows 7 64bit installed.
    Dirrectly after the Windows 7 installation and power cycle, one of the five 1.5tb hard drives have dropped out of the raid, visable as "DEGRADED", uppon further inspection via control m, the middle drive (not drive 0 as before) drive 2 (0,1,2,3,4,5) has dropped out and is not marked as assigned, it is marked with no label or free.
    This is high strangeness, it is my understanding that the RAID technologies are transparent to the OS so it should not be in any way the Windows 7 install triggering this, the last occurance was also during a Windows 7 power cycle but dirrectly after the system update tool being installed.
    At this stage it would appear that Windows 7 64-bit used in conjunction with the supplment driver disk marked as (drivers and apps, windows xp vista, windows 7) is not able to complete and remain stable.
    I suspect a possible driver issue but if this was the case surely the windows 7 install would not progress past the first installation point where the driver disks is required to actually use and see the array via the controler.
    I will update this thread with more information as it becomes available.
    Machine delivery eta to customer is tommorow so this is not good.

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.
