64-Bit Vista and iTunes 8

Hi!
Just a simple question: I have 64-Bit Vista Home Premium. I downloaded the 64-Bit version of iTunes, and when I choose to install it says that it will install into the x86 Program Files folder (64 Bit Vista is backwards compatible with 32-Bit programs). This might seem like an odd question, but do you think that I should install it into the 64-Bit Program Files folder? I just don't want anything going wrong, as I just got this computer a few days ago
Thanks!

You'll find this has been an question from others ever since Apple put out the 64-bit version. [This thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8115760] gives you some background.
Apple's vista 64-bit version of iTunes seems to be a partial 64-bit version of unown degree. It does work fine though.

64 bit Vista and Palm Desktop...

Wow! I've spent hours on the forum and the web because my new laptop has 64 bit Vista (and is a tablet as well). I'm a long, long time fan of the Palm having had an original US Robotics Palm Pro (in fact I still have it and the original box!) I've gone through several iterations and currently own a Sprint 700p -all this time I've been using the Palm Desktop and have loads of notes, contacts, etc. I love the Palm Desktop as a simple way to keep all my personal info together in an easy to access format.
Now I understand that 64 bit Vista won't sink via the USB but that there are solutions to synch with either IR or Bluetooth (fine, but you lose the ability to power up the 700p -guess I'll have to find the power plug). However, what doesn't seem to be clear is which version of Palm Desktop should I install on 64 bit Vista?
What happens if I load 4.1.4E under 64 bit Vista or should I use 6.2? I understand 6.2 is missing some features. Would be curious what others have experienced.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts, inputs, experiences, and opinions!
Just food for thought... if I can't find a solution that I like; I might just keep my old Dell laptop with XP running and terminal into it from my new tablet. Kind of silly, but what else do you do with an old laptop? Only problem is, I wouldn't have access to it when on the road without having to configure my router and an internet connection; but in theory I should have all my data on the 700p when out of the house.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Just to add on to what legendeld said:
Syncing will work fine in either solution, but I'd actually recommend using 6.2 for two main reasons. The first is that certain functions of 4.1 don't work in Vista. These include the Install Tool for adding files/apps to your device and the help files.
The second reason is that Bluetooth setup in 6.2 is much easier. In 4.1, you have to create a Bluetooth serial port and then set HotSync to scan that port for incomming connections. 6.2 simply gives youa Bluetooth connection option (as long as Vista recognizes your adapter).
Creating a serial port is pretty easy with most Bluetooth implementations, so you can still go the 4.1 route. But you won't be able to use the Install Tool if you do.

Vista 64 bit OS and iTunes

I am getting an error message when initializing iTunes.
iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's
you need to reinstall iTunes.
I uninstalled, cleaned the reg, and reloaded a few times.
Diagnostic DVD/CD test results "Upper Filter Status Failed" (no CD Rom Driver found)
All seems to be working ok otherwise and CD's seem to be importing OK

iTunes doesn't officially support 64 bit Windows and the 64 bit Gear drivers you need for burning arn't supplied. You can download them from here:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
A number of people also had problems with the creation of the CD configuration folder, but as your iTunes is working, I guess that doesn't apply to you.

Windows Vista and iTunes does not work

First Time sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany and my English is not the best.
I have the new Windows Vista but iTunes does not work good.
And I have to use it, to manage my music on my iPod.
When there will be a Vista compatibles Version of iTunes??
And when will come an 64-Bit Version?
Thanks for Help,
Karsten

iTunes running under VISTA does not recognize media burned by iTunes Backup (v7.0.2) from a non-Vista machine.
The original machine recognizes the media just fine, but the new VISTA machine does not recognize the dvd at all.
Anyone else having a problem with VISTA recognizing burnt media?

Vista and itunes...error code 2330, please help

I have had this computer for a few months and have no issues downloading anything except for itunes : / I am on a Dell 1535 with 32 bit vista.
When I go to install itunes/quicktime from apple.com, the installer will get through itunes and then about 1/4 way thru quicktime, it stops and gives me the Error Code 2330. It then rolls it back. I have also tried to install quicktime first and then itunes but I continue to get the same error code.
I have contacted Dell who wants to charge me $200 to even TALK to me about this issue, let alone solve it. I have also spoken with apple and we did a few troubleshooting things like:
- the microsoft clean up installer
- installing under a guest account on computer
- applying the misconfig and restarting
I need to call apple back to try some more options but I also wanted to see if anyone on here has had similiar issues and how they solved it.
Each time I tried to install itunes after all of this, the same error code would come back.Every time I install it, I also uninstall it but I have a feeling I am not cleaning it off the computer completely and this may be why it is not working properly for me. Although the VERY first time I tried to install, I received this message as well so maybe that isn't the issue.
I am not a super wiz on the computer but I know the basics, if anyone can suggest what I can do, it would be a huge help!! I know they are compatible and it shouldn't be this complicated to download a simple program, ugh!!
Thanks in advance for your help and happy holidays!

I have the same problem. i have a dell xps m1530 and i continually get a 2330 error message. I took uninstalled itunes when i first got the problem a few months ago and now quicktime won't unistall and i get a 2330 error. I've tried the same things you have and a few more. I've used CCleaner and i've tried using as many help sources from apple but nothing seems to help. Its bothers e that no one has been able to help me. I've called in and no one helps. I hope that someone can help us in this problem.

A Troubleshooting Guide for Windows Vista and iTunes 8 - user supported

ITunes 8 and Windows Vista can be an explosive combination. Having helped to troubleshoot some problems for people, I decide to consolidate my information all down to one post. The information comes from various sources, and I will try to annotate where it came from. Please let’s keep this a solutions listing post. So people can come to it when they have a problem and easily find a solution.
*ITunes will not install:*
ITunes will sometimes not install or the installation will hang up under Vista. First I will give some generalized steps to take in order of priority, and then get into some specifics.
General
*1. Turn off your Anti-Virus Software.* Some A/V software will prevent the installer from accessing the Windows System Files causing the install to Bork.
*2. Uninstall third-party Audio-Video Codecs.* Installing iTunes also installs Quicktime which installs the necessary codecs to play its supported files. Some codec packs, such as DivX and XviD have the ability to read these files, and their method of decoding these files can cause conflicts with the Quicktime installation. Even third-party CD Burning (Roxio, Nero, and the like) software can cause this problem. Once iTunes is installed, you can reinstall these codecs without any ill effects.
*3. Disable Windows Defender.* Windows Defender is a resident A/V type program native to Windows Vista. It can also sometimes cause conflicts during installation. To disable it, go to the Windows Defender tab in your Control Panel, and chose disable in the dialogue box.
Specific
*1. When I install iTunes, the installation stops and I get error message 2738.* This error message means that the Visual Basic Script is not being installed properly or it could be disabled. To fix this we need to re-initialize the Visual Basic Script server. Do the following:
In the search panel of the start bar, type cmd.exe.
When the search results are listed, right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.
Type in the following at the command prompt: regsvr32 vbscript.dll and hit enter.
Run the iTunes install program again.
*2. ITunes installed properly, but now I am stuck in a reboot loop.*
This behaviour is a known problem to Apple and they are working on it. What is happening, when you run the program, it is involking a repair check of your installation. Beaconfield came up with a work around to use until Apple patches the software.
“Navigate to C:\Program Files\iTunes\ and right click on iTunes.exe then select Sent To > Desktop. This will create a new icon that should load iTunes just fine.”
I know there are more issues out there, but these seem to be the most common. If anyone has anymore solutions, please add them to this post. Like I said initially, I would like this post to be an easy reference for troubleshooting.
Thanks again,

Ok, so I saved my Windows Media Player playlist as M3U files and imported them into iTunes. Wow! What a complete mess that made of my library.
All songs that were on the playlists (hundreds of songs) were duplicated in my iTunes library. iTunes would show two entries for each song. When I right clicked and choose 'Show in Windows Explorer' both entries point to the same song, it just shows up twice in iTunes.
I cleared my iTunes library file and am starting over. I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Media Player. I've been listening to music off my Blackberry and it's really been fine. Just seemed a shame that my iPod was sitting in a drawer because of all the issues I'm having with iTunes and Vista.
The original problem I had months ago was that iTunes crashed on Vista and lost all my Playlists. I was so upset I put all my music on my SD card on my Blackberry, because Windows Media Player makes it so easy to back up your playlists. They are saved as files and can be included in any automatic backups (I have scheduled backups to another hard drive)
I thought with this new version of iTunes I could at least export the playlists to files so they can be backed up, I just don't know if I can face re-creating the playlists in iTunes.

Windows Vista and iTunes downloads

I have a new computer with Windows Vista and downloaded iTunes on it. My previous music iTunes library works fine, but when I try to play a recently downloaded song, I get a message that I am not authorized to play it on this computer. What does that mean? I already tried reinstalling everything and it did not help. Any other ideas?
Thanks!

I suggest you post your message in the "iTunes for Windows" forum found at <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150>. It's a more appropriate place to find answers to your question.

Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

There is an issue with the 64 bit Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers that causes the spooler to crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:
Deskjet 710
Deskjet 712
Deskjet 720
Deskjet 722
Deskjet 810
Deskjet 812
Deskjet 820
Deskjet 822
Deskjet 1000
The attached file contains a patch for this issue for Vista and Windows 7.
[The patch does not currently work for Windows 8 or 8.1 x64 systems. There are some efforts to address this, if a solution is developed it will be posted here. {Edit - I have not made any progress in getting the patch to work in Windows 8 x64.}]
First make sure the driver for the printer is installed. If the driver has not been installed go to Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer, choose the proper port (for USB-Parallel converters the port will likely be USB001: or perhaps USB002: ), Next, click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.
Apply the patch as follows: Log into the computer with an administrative account. Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the paper clip at the end of this post. Save the patch file to your computer, then unzip it. Next copy the three DLL files to the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3
Note that %windir% is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems this will be C:\Windows. You can click Start, Computer and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it will find the right place.
This can be done from a DOS prompt if DOS is opened with the "run as administrator" command, or from explorer with a copy and paste. Depending on your UAC settings you may need to provide confirmation. Also allow the current files to be overwritten if prompted.
This patch is not required and should not applied to a 32 bit version of Vista or Windows 7.
Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris for guidance for the patch.
Update - the following are more detailed installation instructions:
Download the patch from here. Now click on the file and open it, then extract the patch to some directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative DOS prompt by clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, then right click on CMD.EXE and select Run as Administrator. Click in the DOS box then type the following:
MD c:\temp
CD \temp
Now extract the patch files into the c:\temp directory (extract all, chose c:\temp as the destination).
[Update - Windows security settings may prevent these files from being used, please open Computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties. If there is a message in Properties indicating the file was downloaded from the internet and may be blocked then unblock the file before proceeding.]
Next click back in the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (stuff in green is comments, do not type them...)
DIR *.dll (this is just to verify the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others.)
Net stop spooler (makes sure the files are not in use.)
Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)
Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)
Copy hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000)
Net Start Spooler
Exit
[Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory. You will get a warning asking if it is OK to overwrite the files, say "yes".]
At this point the patch is installed and ready to print.
Note that the printers here do not support USB connections, they have only parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer does have a parallel port use it, this will likely be much less problematic than using a USB-Parallel converter.] If you use a USB-parallel converter make sure it is supported in your operating system. The following posts are flagged with USB-parallel cables that are reported to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the USB-parallel converter in addition to the driver for the printer. For supported converters this is typically supplied automatically in Windows 7. Note: the proper port to select for the USB-Parallel converters is often USB001:. I have heard of some cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well. If the port you are using does not succeed (after applying the patch) try changing the port by going to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on your printer and select Printer Properties, then click on the Ports tab.

Just want to send a thanks. Purchased a new HP computer with 64 bit Windows 7 and haven't been able to get my 722c to work. This patch worked like a charm!

Sorry about the delay, pack. Brooding over what to try next.
I'd like to doublecheck the malware possibilities with another malware scanner.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

Ugragrded to vista, and itunes wont work

i upgraded to windows vista, and now my itunes wont open because it says the file, libary.itl is locked, on a locked disc or i dont heve write permission. HELP

What format is the exHD, HFS+?
Vista prefers NTFS or FAT. So you'd probably need some software that lets Vista read HFS+. Or consolidate it onto a different exHD that is FAT-formatted.

Vista and Itunes

I want an answer from the makers of the IPOD and ITUNES!!! OR the SOLUTION!! I'm tired of this crap. Oh you posted in the wrong forum is the best answer I can get.
I have looked but on this board its so hard to find any solution. I just installed Vista on a newly built computer. I installed Itunes (current version) problem is the DVD drive keeps going missing. I use the Microsoft fix. (see below) and it works but then the Itunes software says it needs to be reinstalled because a registry entry it uses is gone. What is the fix for this?
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
ix

Are you able to even edit the registry key? The problem I had -- and many others, I've learned -- is that for some reason iTunes and/or QT locks down certain critical registry keys. So even if I'm logged on as an admin I can't change them.
I posted a possible solution -- at least it worked for me:

Re-installing vista and itunes

I got my iPod Touch back in November and purchased the Jan and July s/w updates. My iTunes runs on a Windows vista PC, which I need to re-install due to some disk issues.
I've heard that if I re-install Vista and hence the iTunes s/w, my software purchases from Jan and July might be lost. Can someone pl. point me to some resource so I can do this safely without losing the s/w upgrades?
Thanks.

Vista and itunes 7.5

I have searched the forums and haven't found the answer to make this work:
I install 7.5 and it's other parts.... quicktime and the updaters, i try to launch it and vista says it has in countered a problem with items and shuts down, i have tried to change quicktime to an earlier version with no sucess. I have tried an earlier version of itunes nothing. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have thousands of songs on my ipod and in my library on old machine. Have 60gig ipod ,i phone and have invested alot of money in my itunes songs, VERY VERY upset with this version of itunes i hope they resolve it soon.
Also Plz refrain from saying" just buy a Mac, to fix your issues" thanks in advance for any help i can be given

I downloaded the new version of iTunes and I get an "Error Message 8725". Not sure what that means and cannot find anything on it. Won't let me upgrade. I have an old 60GB iPod. My iTunes 7.2 still works good. I'll keep using it for now. I just ordered a 160GB iPod. If it comes with an install disc. I'll see what happens then. I'm cool with 7.2 for now. I do hope they get a solution soon though.
