64-bit OS problem

I just bought the iPhone tonight and found out that it will not work on 64-bit OS's. I have an HP w/Vista 64-bit. Is there a way to get around this? Is there a 64-bit iTunes out now? Any advise would be helpful... Thanx

The only 64 bit System compatible with the iPhone is a Mac running OS X.
There is no workaround for Windows 64 bit compatibility.
If you like,you can submit a feature request here...

  • CS5 16-bit printing problem... seriously, still?!?

    I just finally broke down and upgraded to CS5 and Snow Leopard after hearing about the no color management utility released last year.  I kinda figured the 16-bit printing problems would have been fixed in CS5 as well, but at least for me they haven't been.
    For the last two years I've done my image editing in CS4, then switched over to CS3 for printing.  I saw this upgrade as a change to finally be able to do everything in one place, but when I try to print in 16-bit I get the exact same result I got in CS4-- dark, low saturation, warm color cast. I'm running an Epson 11880 on 10.6.8 with all current drivers/firmware.
    I'm making sure to check 16-bit in both locations in the driver, could there be something else I'm missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I wonder if there is something different about the 8.65 drivers that doesn't default to Off (No Color Management). I sold my last Epson a couple of months back.
    Why 8-bit prints fine but 16-bit doesn't seems really odd.  Might want to ask in the Yahoo Group forum. Surely there are others with the same setup.

  • Solution? CS 3/Windows 7- 64 bit installation problem

    I found an answer for at least one of the MAJOR issues installing CS3 on Windows 7-64 bit ...
    The problem: CS3 installation goes smoothly, but when trying to open Photoshop, you get a blank Photoshop window and an endlessly spinning curser. Also, no other programs will open, yet if you check the program files, they seem complete. You may even discover that one of the non-working programs is actually open (but not accessible to you) somewhere in the depths of your computer. An error message may eventually appear (if you are lucky), which reads something to the effect: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this product by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe Customer Support for help."
    Check this link for the solution, which worked for me after four weeks of frustration and three Adobe problem tickets that were declared closed without resolution of this problem:
    http://www.megaleecher.net/Flexnet_Licensing_Service
    Short form is that the Flexnet licensing feature for Windows 7 is not set properly and prevents CS3 from registration/activation. It must read "start" and "automatic" - not "stop" and/or "manual." You get to Flexnet Licensing as follows: Start Menu>Run> (type in) services.msc>enter
    Then double click FlexnetLic in the menu, change the Stop to Start (by clicking on the word) and the Manual to Automatic. Click save. Restart computer and launch any CS3 program. This should bring up the rest of the installation process beginnning where you enter your serial number(s). From that time on, for me, everything was operational and still is (Whoopee!!!!!!)
    Side Note to Adobe: When I first encountered this problem FOUR weeks ago, I talked three different times with Technical Assistance personnel. The second of these three could have solved the problem - he had the right information, as I can now see. The problem: I could NOT understand his English. His accent was very heavy and the phone connection was terrible. He struggled as I did with such simple things as the word "start" where he had to literally spell it out four times before I understood what he was saying. We eventually got to the Flexnet screen and possibly could have solved the issue right then. But the communication process was so labored that it didn't work. I'm guessing now that a step was missed somewhere, because now all is okey dokey, after using the information in the above link.

    Pat, thank you for your very prompt response.
    Regarding my FLF files I will try the VLC Media Player as you suggested, thank you.
    Now regarding the Flash Player being a browser add on in my IE, I checked through Tools / Manage add-ons / All Add-ons and it displays only Adobe Shockwave Object from the Adobe range of products. Adobe Flash Player is not an Add-on in my system.
    By uninstalling it (when I was trying to install a standalone product), did I delete this Add-on from the available Add-ons from my IE?
    And if I did that, how do I reinstate it? (As you said a standalone Flash Player would have its limitations).
    I would appreciate your advice.

  • LaserJet 1022 on Windows 8 64-bit driver problem

    Hello!
    After I've upgraded my computer and installed Windows 8 my printer LaserJet 1022 won't work - the drivers fail to install.
    Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit
    Printer: HP LaserJet 1022 connected via USB
    I 'm trying to install latest drivers for 64-bit system (driver version 2012.918.1.57980 [18.09.2012]) and getting an error message that the driver cannot be installed because of a policy blocking NT4.0 drivers.
    In the device manager the printer is listed in the 'Other devices'.
    I have read forum topics on Windows 8 drivers installation but none of the solutions worked for me.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Pavel.

    Hi @debblong ,
    I see that you are having issues installing the printer on Windows 8. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    To access the Start in Windows 8 to do the steps provided in the previous post, in desktop mode, press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line. Then you can type in %temp% to access the files to delete them.
    For the printer not being detected, we can try a few things.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and turned on, and the USB cable is connected directly to one of the back USB ports on the computer if using a Desktop, if you are using a Laptop try another USB port.
    The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
    Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable? How to determine whether a USB 3.0 device is operating at SuperSpeed?
    Is the USB port on the computer 2.0 or 3.0?
    Follow these steps in this document to get to the device manager to check for any printer entries.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Then click on Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    In the list click on Universal Serial Bus controllers and look for USB printing support, (make sure any other printers are turned off or disconnected) right click and uninstall it. If you have any others with exclamation mark or other devices in the list, delete them also.
    Let me know what it showed in the device manager.
    Then click on Action, across the top of the window and scan for new hardware.
    If the printer wasn't listed at all in the Device Manager, try another USB port on the computer and another USB cable.
    Restart the computer and the printer also to see if the printer will be detected.
    If the printer still isn't recognized, if you have another computer, connect the printer to it to see if it is recognized.
    Just to rule out a USB port on the computer, USB cable or hardware issue with the USB port on the printer.
    Here is the link to the driver page, if you need it. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • ICloud WINDOWS 7 64 Bit sync problem with calendar of Outlook 2010

    I am using
    iPhone 4S (IOS5)
    iPad 1 (IOS5)
    PC (WINDOS 7 SR1 32 bit, Cor-2-duo) & Outlook 2010, 32 bit, at home
    PC (WINDOWS 7 SR1 64 bit, Intel i7) &  Outlook 2010 version 14.0.6106.5005 (32-Bit), in my office
    together with iCoud for syncing my contacts (about 500) and calenders (2 calenders, about 3.000 and 8.000 entries) with Outlook 2010
    The syncing works perfect for 1., 2. an 3., but I have severe problems with the 64bit PC:
    The iCloud operating pannel is only displayed after a fresh reset of the system. Two processes are running (iCloud.exe*32, iCloudServices.exe *32), the iCloud icon on the task bar is displayed.  Opening of the iCloud operating pannel fails by all means ( via icon, via network->icloud) etc. after Outlook 2010 has started once.
    After closing Outlook, a restart of Outlook is perfored but displays "loading data" till infinity. The task manager is required to shut down Outlook.
    After a fresh reset outlook starts (normal behavior) and displays the contacts (complete) and both calendars, but has only downloaded during set-up only about 7.000 entries of the 11.000 entries which are still displayed in the calendar of the  web interface of iCloud and are displayed nicely on iPhone, iPad and the 32bit PC. The sync of new calendar entries works perfect between all four systems.
    I have removed and reinstalled the iCloud operating panel sereal times, checked the Outlook pst file for errors -> no success.  
    Any suggestions how to overcome this problem?

    I had a similar problem back lst year with MobileMe and outlook. I had to uninstall outlook and MM control panel completely then reinstal MM THEN Outlook and then MM would download all 5 of my MM calendars into Outlook including all events
    do they stop at a certain date i remember seeing an option somewhere that specified how far back to sync appointments

  • Windows 7  64 Bit and problem ripping CD's in Itunes

    I have just bought a new PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed. rather than transferring my library I decided to install the latest version of I tunes and start from scratch. I then starting copying cd's. They copied really fast, up to 35x but when the final track had loaded the small green tick next to the track number did not appear. The small orange circle remains and Itunes is frozen. It stays like this for several minutes then clears and I move on to the next CD and repeat the whole operation. Any ideas ??

    First thing, I would see if WMP can rip a CD in MP3 format.
    That would tell us whether it's a general drive problem, or something specific to itunes.

  • Can Apple fix the 12 bit audio problem once and for all?

    I have had persistent audio problems from I Life V3 all the way up to I Life 06. Sometimes it is synch issues. Sometimes it is audio dropping out. I have been through the various forums and applied the various remedies with some successs, some failure. The basic problem is that I have an extensive quantity of Mini DV tapes dating back to 1997, most recorded with 12 bit sound (prior to 2002). Apple's basic stance has been, you must use 16 bit sound or I Movie and/or I DVD won't work and . And proposes awkward workarounds. Basically placing the onus on it's own consumers. Why can't 12 bit sound support be included in I DVD 06 and these persistent audio issues put to rest once and for all? Is there some overwhelming technical reason why it cannot be done?

    I don't know about overwhelming, but the DVD specification (which was not developed by Apple) calls for the audio to be sampled at 16-bit/48KHz (I think you might also be able to use 96KHz as well). This is what the software expects. If you choose to use another sample rate then the software may or may not be able to "fix" it in post. The real problem is that many camcorder manufactures set the audio to 12-bit by default.

  • ITunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.1 64 bit display problems with CD tracks and Internet Radio

    Recently installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine and I have the following problems:
    1) Inserting a CD in order to listen or import tracks I get no display of tracks when I click the CD drive in the side bar. The list has only white and gray lines where the tracks should have been listed and the top of the table contains some grabbed display from Music table (i.e. the first track that was displayed in Music but only 2/3 of the line. The status bar at the bottom of the iTunes window shows correct information about the number of tracks and total playing time.
    2) Hitting the play button while on this CD Drive listing starts the playback but the tracks play in random sequence even though shuffle play is not selected (not blue to be precise). In the zone with track name, playback progress, elapsed and remaining time and other track options the indications are correct.
    3) Importing the CD works but the tracks are imported in random order. Track information from CDDB providers is accurate eventhough nothing is displayed while selecting CD drive as per problem 1). Imported tracks in Music show in random order. This is also strange because when I was importing something from a CDDB indexed CD or even a non indexed one the tracks were always imported in the order they were written on disc.
    4) Going to Music -> Internet I get the same white and gray lines with no stations displayed but this time the status bar reads Zero Stations. Obviously I can't select/listen anything
    I'd say I'm quite experienced with iTunes, using it since 2005 but never had problems of this type. Some assistance would be helpful. I smell a bug that maybe shows up in my particular configuration. Searched everywhere, maybe not good enough, but couldn't find something even similar.

    i have the same problem no radio stations at all bit shabby hate technolgy now adays

  • Windows 7 64 bit sharing problems with remote

    FYI  Problem fixed 
    Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
    Go to  File sharing connections (In your current Profile)
    Click on "Enable file sharing for devices that must use 40 or 56 bit encryption"
    Save Changes

    Did you disconnect wireless on the 2 Windows 7 64 bit machines while testing wired?
    What is the connection between the Actiontec and the Belkin?  LAN-to-WAN or LAN-to-LAN?
    If the connection is LAN-to_LAN, the wireless connection on each machine would have obtained a DHCP address from the Actiontec.  When you connected wired, you would have gotten a new IP address based on the different MAC address of the wired NIC, resulting in the machine having 2 IP addresses.  This may not be readily apparent on the Actiontec main status page as the second connection will get a generated name of "new-host-xx" (the router can't reuse the same PC name for 2 different IP addresses).  Windows should be able to keep the two connections on the same subnet straight, but I've seen WIndows do stranger things.
    If the connection is LAN-to-WAN, the Belkin must have a different subnet address than the Actiontec (e.g.. 192.168.2.x).  Now, if you connect both wired to the Actiontec (192.168.1.x) and wireless via the Belkin (192.168.2.x), Windows is going to have connections to two different subnets with two different gateway routers. Without explicit routing rules, Windows won't know which gateway to use.

  • Windows 7 64 bit has problems with Actiontec MI424WR while wired with wireless radio off

    I have discovered an issue with Windows 7 64 bit OS.  My attempted set up was to havea 802.11n Belkin Play router connected to my Actiontec MI424WR router as a wireless access point with the MI424WR wireless radio turned off.  This worked fine for my XP 32 bit PC, my Windows 7 32 bit PC, and my 2 Windows 7 64 bit laptops using wireless.  A problem arose when I tried wired connections on the Windows 7 64 bit laptops and a Windows 7 64 bit PC. 
    While wired, internet would drop either completely or intermittently but too frequently to be useful.  Tech support had no idea what to do or what caused it.  It was reproducible after a reset of the router and then turning off the wireless radio.
    I could fix it by turning on the wireless radio again, but I had hoped to turn it off and only use wireless from the 802.11n router.
    Any ideas?

  • CS-4 Vista 64 Bit Installation problems - "checking system profile...."

    Hello All:
    I know that this has been discussed in the past, but I was hoping that perhaps someone has determined a fix for the following problem.
    Background: In the past, with Windows XP Professional, I never had problems with loading any Adobe products.  But just last week I reluctantly upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium because it came with a new power system PC that I purchased (AMD quad-core 2.4 gHz Phenom CPU, 8 Gigs of RAM and 1 TB HD) and this is where my problems began:
    Nature of problem:  I loaded the latest versions of Lightroom and Adobe Elements just fine - absolutely no problems there.  But when I tried to load my Photoshop CS-4 upgrade disk, it never gets past the "checking system profile" bar at the very beginning of the install process.  I mean to say that you initially get the install window and when you click "install," a small window comes up which indicates "checking system profile."  Then the progress indicator goes all the way to the right - around 90% to the right but then just hangs there - and I mean stays there...period.  I tried this several times, eventually having to use control/ALT/Delete in each instance to get it to stop.  I even let it stay there for over 6 hours - all to no avail.  What I found interesting is that just about all of my older programs - even those dating back to 2001 - all installed without a problem at all.
    2.  Actions I took to try and correct this:
        a.  Then, in my attempt to find fixes for this, I made sure to close out any background programs that were running (and Vista has a million of 'em), to include Firewall, Windows Defender, any other malware and anti-virus programs, not to mention a bunch of smaller programs that have items running in the background.  Then I tried loading CS-4 again....but still no go, the "checking system profile" indicator just hangs at 90% complete.  Note that at no time did the install process ever load any files at all - I checked everything to ensure this wasn't the case, otherwise I would have removed them.
        b.  On my next try, I then I copied all of the files from the CD to a folder on my desktop and tried to run the program from there - still no go as the "checking system profile" window still hangs at 90%  I even tried loading the program by right clicking on the exe file and installing "as administrator," but that didn't do the trick either.
        c.  Then I rebooted into safe mode, trying both to load the programs first from the CD and then from the desktop folder - still no go, but in this case it told me right up front that the action was unable to be completed.  I assumed this meant that in Windows Safe Mode, the installer was not available.
    Help Needed:  So folks, I know this has been discussed in the past, but I don't know of any fixes that are available.  Can anybody help me through this process?  You can also send me direct emails at:  [email protected] - which means I'd get them right away.
    This has been driving me up a wall because some other folks with Vista 64 Bit systems report that they had no problems with installation.  Again - it never makes it to installation, but gets hung up at the "checking system profile" stage.
    Argggggggg......
    Thanks,
    Ben Herrmann

    I believe you are falling victim to some known incombatibility of LR vs. PS CS4 installer. This should be covered in the knowledge base, so check there. A short way to happiness may be using the CS4 Clean Utility to remove the debris from the failed installs and unregister other Adobe installs, then install PS CS4, but since I don't use LR and never have tried this, I'm not sure if this specific case is covered.

  • 64-bit, 32-bit Porting - Problem with file locking

    Hi,
    OS: Solaris 8
    I am trying to port the existing 32-bit code to 64-bit. I am facing the following problem.
    The executable works fine with 32-bit compilation, but fails with the 64-bit compilation. I am trying to lock a file, but it is failing with the errno = 9 [Bad file descriptor]
    I have included the code. I would appreciate if some one can help me to solve this.
    Many Thanks and Regards,
    Srini
    Please find below the compilation flags i used.
    32-bit compilation:
    cc -KPIC -Xa -mt -o coreflck coreflck.c
    When i run the exe then the result is:
    $coreflck
    Done!!!!
    64-bit compilation:
    cc -KPIC -Xa -mt -xarch=v9 -o coreflck coreflck.c
    When i run the exe then the result is:
    $ coreflck
    Error Occurred while locking errno:9
    Done!!!!
    Please find below the code (coreflck.c)
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>

    sts = fcntl (fd, cmd, lcks);
    } while (sts == -1 && errno == EINTR);
    return sts;
    int main ()

    int mode, junk = 0;
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("/krb5/tmp/cc/krb5cc_1024", "rb");
    memset( &lock_struct, 0, sizeof( lock_struct ));
    lock_struct.l_type = F_WRLCK;
    lock_struct.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
    do {
    mode = fcntl (fileno( fp ), F_GETFL, junk);
    } while (mode == -1 && errno == EINTR);
    if (mode == -1 )
    printf("Error Occurred errno:%d\n",errno);
    else { 
    /* If the file's mode is read-only then we
    try for a shared lock; Otherwise, we
    try for an exclusive lock. */
    if( mode == O_RDONLY )
    lock_struct.l_type = F_RDLCK;
    if( lock( fileno( fp ), F_SETLKW, &lock_struct ) == -1 )
    printf("Error Occurred while locking errno:%d\n", errno);
         printf("Done!!!!\r\n");

    I found the solution
    I changed the line
    if( mode == O_RDONLY )
    to
    if( (mode & O_ACCMODE) == O_RDONLY )
    Since, if we use
    F_GETFL
    Get the file status flags and file access modes, defined in <fcntl.h>, for the file description associated with fildes. The file access modes can be extracted from the return value using the mask O_ACCMODE, which is defined in <fcntl.h>. File status flags and file access modes are associated with the file description and do not affect other file descriptors that refer to the same file with different open file descriptions.
    Cheers,
    Srini

  • 64-bit compilation problem on Solaris/Intel: 7th argument not initialized

    I have a problem when compiling a program on a 64-bit Solaris Intel server. The problem is that when calling a function, if the 7th or next arguments are long arguments and I pass uncasted small integers values to it, the first 32-bit of my values are uninitialized.

    - on other platforms (AIX, SunOs/Sparc, HPUX) or if I compile in 32-bit;
    - if I use optimization (-xO1 to -xO5) ;
    - if I prototype my function at the beginning of my source (void fnc1(long a,long b,long c,long d,long e,long f,long g,long h););
    I have over 1,000,000 lines of existing code to support. I am afraid using optimization would have other impacts and for now, I cast the arguments as problems are reported. Would there be a better way to handle this? By using a compiler switch?
    Thanks in advance.

Such code always works ...Yes, and developers should attempt to accomplish just that. Alas this is very difficult to ensure, particularly given the lack of a run-time type checking mechanism.In theory, proper use of the ellipsis function would be documented, and programmers would read and follow the documentation. In practice, some programmers don't read the instructions, or forget them, or someone ill-advisedly changes the way the function works so that existing calls stop working. Variable-argument functions are a fragile mechanism. (I program almost exclusively in C++, which has combinations of features such that variable-argument functions are rarely, if ever, needed.)
    Can one even assume that the value of the NULL macro is correct? Never, because the C standard allows a variety of definitions for NULL, and implementations vary. Passing NULL to an ellipsis is a recipe for failure. Don't do it.

    Suppose you have function FI with an ellipsis that expects to get int arguments, and another FL that expects to get long arguments. When you port the code to a 64-bit environment, function FL fails. If you use the -signext option, function FI will fail.Ah, but for us FL never fails, since the compilers always widen the arguments. I fail to see the circumstance in which widening would cause FI to fail, could you please give a more specific example?
    void FI(int count, ...)
        va_list va;
        va_start(va, count);
        int t;
        while( --count >= 0) {
           t = va_arg(va, int);
           do_something(t);
    }Function FI expects to extract 32-bit int arguments. If compiled with -signext, the calling function will pass 64-bit arguments. Perhaps the -signext option also causes the 32-bit extraction to be changed to a 64-bit extraction. I have no personal experience with the option, and I'm not in a position where I can experiment right now.

  • Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit instalation problem

    Hi,
    I downloaded Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit from Oracle site. I unpacked it and burned it on dvd, but it can't boot so I can't install it. I could't do it even with virtual machine. I also put disk detection latency to 15 sec so I could give Linux enough time to boot, but it did't help. So any sugestion? :) I have core i7 2600 and Gigabyte UD4 P67 B3, bit I don't think it is a problem.
    Thx

    This directory contains image files used during the Oracle Linux 6
    installation process.
    The boot.iso file that is sometimes found in the images directory has
    been removed for space reasons. It is available as a separate download
    from ULN. boot.iso is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful
    in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the
    CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage.
    To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you
    normally would.
    From Images folder, installation DVD.
    Can anyone tell me what to do
