64 bit Windows Vista question

I was wondering if there are any other Vista or XP Pro users out there using 64 bit Operating systems? I am fully aware that iTunes doesn't support Windows 64 bit environments, but I have been totally unsuccessful in trying to contact APPLE as to if or when 64 bit will be supported. Does anybody have any knowlege of this matter?

Apple is very aware that people use 64 bit operating systems. I can assure you that people have been asking about this matter fairly consistently. That doesn't change the fact that Apple does not discuss the future road map of any of their products until they are ready. In other words, Nobody can tell you anything until Apple chooses make an announcement.
We are simple users here like you and have absolutely no knowledge into Apple's software development that we can disclose. Anybody who would have knowledge gets bound under NDA.

Portege R400-106 - where to get 64-bit Windows Vista DVD?

Hello:
have ordered this notebook with 4GB, but the OS is Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, meaning that I cannot use more than 3GB.
Could you please advise where to get the 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate DVD so that I can upgrade?
Please, could you email me at [email protected]?
Thank you.

Hi
I think this question can be answered only by a Toshiba person. This is a simply a user to user forum and you will not meet here anybody from Toshiba.
But I will provide my own opinion.
Regarding point
1) Toshiba hasnt supported the 64bit in the past and I believe it will take several times till such 64bit OS will be supported. Who knows.
2) Dont think you will receive the 64bit Toshiba DVD. If Toshiba will decided to support the 64bit drivers then you have to purchase the Vista 64bit OS and then you could be able to use the Toshiba drivers from the website.
3) As I said, if you wan to use the 64bit OS you have to purchase it.

64-bit Windows Vista USB synchronization

Is Palm developing a fix for 64-bit Windows Vista USB synchronization? Or is Bluetooth the only option?
jk
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Strongly doubtful, particularly since Palm OS devices are on the way out, and Vista has been around now for a few years. If no 64 bit USB drivers have been developed by now, it's a pretty good bet that they won't be. (It is not Palm's software, anyway. A Japanese company called Access owns Palm Desktop and Palm OS.)
If you have a TX, please also read the stickied threads about 64 bit synchronization...you can also use Wi-Fi. It's much faster than Bluetooth.

Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
Please advise what to do.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.

64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium compatibilty?

I'm looking to purchase a new PC that runs the 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium. I'm wondering if my older programs, Premiere Pro 1.5, Photoshop 7, and Dreamweaver MX 2004 will run in the new system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gee, Phyllis I've read on microsofts own site that CS3 was 64 bit vista compatable and CS4 was native. I'm still on Photoshop 7 so I can't help you but on photoshop re-installs that load with messages about missing files , I search in my back up folders for the previous computer where it ran fine and copy it into my photoshop program folder.
If you google the exact missing file message you may find a site that charges for it. I'd be scared to do that, though.
Bob, if I grasp it correctly 64 bit compatible means "EUREAKA" the software runs on 64 bit vista in at least one case so we'll call it vista compatible. Vista 64 bit native means software will use bigger chunks of data and access more RAM available because it's been re-writen / coded and designed for it.
I had my old dell inspiron 8100 laptop start to BSD occasionally. I do a lot of photoshop and picture storage and have 2 big HP dual xeon 800 FSB workstations with XP Pro and 4GB of RAM (3.5 showing) for sit in one spot work. I broke down and bought a new laptop last september to replace the dell.
Got a gamers laptop and changed the OS to Ultimate 64 bit from Home Premium 64 bit and changed a single weirdly partitioned 200 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive to dual 320 GB 7200 RPM SATA HD's.Had to buy Partition Manager from Paragon to partition drives like I wanted (OS and programs on separate spindle from paging file and scratch disk)and it had to boot in a DOS mode to do partitioning succesfully and worked fine on Vista 64 bit. Norton Anti - virus works and was listed as 64 bit compatible when I bought it. Acronis True Image 11 home clearly states "Supports 64 bit CPU and windows Vista" so I guess they do or they don't................Got refunds from lavasoft and spyware blaster they both claimed Vista 32 and 64 bit but were quick to give refunds. Would not load or install.
As you can see I'm trying to adapt to vista and 64 bit so I'm used to it when I get new Vista workstations with more RAM for Photoshop. I've e-mailed Roxio support and have been issued a ticket # for my original problem. Let's see what they say..............Raymond

32-bit Siebel 7.7 and 7.8 Web Client on 64-bit Windows Vista

Hello all,
do you think it is possible to successfully install the 32-bit Siebel Web Client (version 7.7 and 7.8) on Windows Vista 64-bit ?
I'm running Siebel client software against an Oracle 9i database. In fact, my Oracle client is version 10g (32-bit). But it works fine. Even with non-Oracle software.
I succeeded in installing the 32-bit Siebel Tools (7.7/7.8) on my 64-bit Vista. Just had to prevent the installer from putting the software into the default folder which is "C:\Program Files (x86)". Using the default folder resulted in the Tools being not able to locate the Oracle tnsnames.ora file. I created my own C:\PRG folder instead. So for example, I now have "C:\PRG\Siebel\7.7\Tools" for Siebel Tools 7.7.
I hoped this method would work for Siebel Web/Developer client 7.7/7.8 as well. But it didn't. In the middle of the installation process, the installer told me it could not locate MDAC and rolled the whole thing back.
I googled a bit around and found that Windows Vista do not use MDAC any more. It uses "Windows Data Access Components" (Windows DAC) instead. But I also checked my "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Program Files (x86)" folders and found that, for example, msado15.dll and msadoXY.tlb (which is a part of that MDAC/DAC stuff) is there, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
So my question is:
How can you make the Siebel Web Client installer think that MDAC is in place and find it there (in the 32-bit folder, of course)?
I'll welcome any help.
Thanks,
Pavel Foltyn

First of you need to make sure you have the right versions of Siebel installed. Only the newest versions work in high interactivity mode with IE 7.0 and Windows Vista.
Have a look at:
Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) (Doc ID 475275.1)
on Metalink 3.
Geting that to work with the Vista 64-bit, is more then pushing it.
Just my 2 cent.

Will the iPod Touch be able to connect to a 64 bit Windows Vista?

Hey Guys,
I am looking at buying a new laptop and am contemplating whether I should get the 64 bit version of Vista. I really want to since it will let me take advantage of more memory.
However, I have been reading that the iPod touch is not compatible with the 64bit version of Windows Vista? Is this still true?

Hello,
You should really go for a Mac; a far superior OS, but can also install Windows if you need it:
http://www.apple.com/getamac/faq/
Only fairly recently has Apple released iTunes for Vista 64bit so if you're reading articles more than a few months old they may be reporting that. You will probably need to update to SP1 though:

Can't burn cd's using iTunes 7.3 and 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate

Every time I try to burn a CD I get the following error:
"Disc Burner or Software Not Found"
I have checked Device Manager and no problems with the disc burner there. I've even burned cd's from Windows Media Player(and dvd movies with other programs), but I would prefer using iTunes 7.3 to burn cd's. From reading the discussions it is my understanding that iTunes cd burning functionality doesn't work with 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Is there a fix for this? Please advise.

Here's how to get Itunes to work in Vista and XP64 bit:
Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt -> Run As Administrator.
Type “cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64″
Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll
If you don’t do Run as Administrator, the regsvr32 will fail. Also, be careful to run the command in SysWOW64, not System32! System32 on a 64-bit system actually contains the 64-bit system libraries.

Will photos created on a 32 bit Windows Vista Home Premium be readable on a Windows 7 64 bit system?

I have around 25,000 photos in jpeg and tiff and in version sets plus some slide shows and blurb books created in the 32 bit system of Windows Vista Home Premium with PSE 10.0 and Premier and have to change to a 64 bit Windows 7 system since Adobe is discontinuing the Photoshop Elements programs in early April of 2013. Will these photos created in 32 bit be readable and editable in the 64 bit system?

Yes. PSE works on both 32bit and 64 bit systems.
PSE is not being discontinued. The on-line service at Photoshop.com is simply moving to Adobe Revel.

Boot Camp & 64-Bit Windows Vista Ultimate

My wife and I purchased the latest top-of-the-line iMac about 10 days ago (3.06 Ghz (Core 2 Duo), 8 GB RAM, 24 inch). We were hoping to use Apple's Boot Camp in order to run a very specific 64-bit application on the Windows side.
To our astonishment, this top-of-the-line iMac cannot run 64-bit Windows (we have an additional copy of Windows Vista Ultimate). Only select Macs can run the 64-bit Windows OS:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
Does anybody think there is a chance that this might change with the arrival of Snow Leopard next month...?
I certainly hope so! I really need to run this one application a few times per week in association with some personal and work responsibilities.
By the way, I already tried Fusion (2) and didn't like the results (a little too slow). There are some who have said that Boot Camp is a little bit faster for some 64-bit applications. Don't know if this is true or not...

Hi,
have a look at the hatters post in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9730296&#9730296 for a workaround.
Hope it helps

Easy Print VI panel not working with 64-bit windows vista

We have a significantly sized application developed in Labview 8.2.1 that is designed to work on a standalone computer. This application uses "Easy Print VI Panel" to print report pages which are basically front panels of various VIs. The application also prints some report pages using the "Print Report" module. Typically we use the application builder and use the generated installer to install the application on a target computer. We also include the appropriate Run-Time engine and NI VISA 4.1. The applications works exactly as designed on all versions of 32-bit Windows (ME, XP, Vista). Now, when this application was installed on a machine running Windows Vista 64-bit, attempts to print reports resulted in a lot of blank pages. I noticed that the report pages that are based on the "Easy Print VI Panel" module were blank whereas the ones that are based on the "Print Report" module were not blank.
To further troubleshoot, I created a very small application. The only function of this application is to use the "Easy Print VI Panel" to print the front panel of another VI that I bundled inside the application. I observed the same behavior.
From what I can tell, either:
1. "Easy Print VI Panel" with Labview 8.2.1 is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit
2. The Labview Run-Time Engine 8.2.1 has some incompatibility with Windows Vista 64-bit (I have not tried to install the full development system on the 64-bit Vista computer)
Any insights as to what may be causing this? or does anyone know of a fix for this issue. I am attaching the latter simple test code to the post.
Thanks

Sorry Sam, I couldn't get my hands on a 64-bit Vista machine to tinker with your VI. I got a little obsessed with trying to get ahold of a computer to test it out on, that I overlooked actually taking the time to think about the problem. But, now that I'm thinking about it, which operating system did you build this application on? Sometimes an application that was built in another OS than it's running on will have problems caused by the differences in the OS. I'd like to try building the application in 64-bit Vista and deploying it to another 64-bit Vista machine, but unfortunately, I can't test this out myself. My gut feeling is that the application is acting up because it wasn't built in 64-bit Vista, not because the Easy Print VI or the 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine themselves are incompatible with 64-bit Vista. If you can, please test out that theory. That will definitely help determine if it's truly a bug or not.

Exe developed in 32 bit Windows XP not working in 64 bit Windows Vista

Am using LabVIEW 8.6 demo version downloaded from internet and Windows XP 32 bit OS. I developed an application and created an exe which communicates with a USB smart card reader. That exe file works fine with that USB device in Windows XP 32 bit OS.
But, when i used that application exe in Windows XP 64 bit OS, and also in Windows Vista 64 bit OS, the application is not working. The communication with the USB smart card reader is not at all establishing. The USB device will take appropriate 32 bit driver and 64 bit driver automatically when updating on various OSes.
How to resolve this? Shall i have to install any 64 bit drivers for LabVIEW?
Thanks,
Mathan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear Amit,
Thanks for the attention. I have tried both the option you told, "Run as administrator" and checked "Services" and smart card services are running. Even i tried restarting the device, but the same result. Maybe as you told, this maybe more of an MSDN issue. I don't know how to proceed.
Thanks,
Mathan
[Edit: From somewhere in MSDN forum or others, i tried the below suggestion too, but in vain. Same scenario. I lost myself in VISTA.]
1. Right-click on the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais and select Permissions...
2. Click Add.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Click Locations.
5. Click on the computername and click OK.
6. In the window 'Select user or groups', click on Find now.
7. Select LOCAL SERVICE.
8. Click OK.
9. In the window 'Select user or groups', click on OK.
10. In the window 'Permissions for Calais', click on LOCAL SERVICE and make sure 'Full control' , 'Read' and 'special permissions' is allowed.
11. In the window 'Advance Security Settings for Calais", deactivate the options 'Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects...'
12. When the window 'Security' appears, click Copy.
13. In the window 'Advance Security Settings for Calais", activate the option 'Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' and click OK.
14. In the window 'Security' click Yes
15. In the window 'Permissions for Calais', click OK.

Why can't 64-bit Windows Vista install 64-bit Nightly?

Starting with version 36 of Nightly, I can no longer install the 64-bit version on Windows Vista. The installer says it has to be installed on at least Windows 7 64-bit. Why is that? Windows Vista is a 64-bit operating system.
