Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
Ok this is nothing new. I am sure that there are 100's of thousands of hits to the adobe page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
I understand that Adobe is working on it (you would hope it has been 3 years now). Anyway I think it is interesting that when you are redirected to the Adobe KB page telling you that there is not a 64 bit version of flash it tells you that "this content requires flash" Duh. Come on adobe Flash team you have known about the 64 bit OS for years now and the use the 32 bit browser is not going to work with Windows 7 users. I am looking forward to the 64 bit flash version! A release date would be good if anyone knows of one. It would save all of us users time so we can stop checking back.
Frankly I think Adobe is treating its customers shabbilly in this regard. There is a much larger 64 bit windows installed base than 64 bit linux, yet adobe have released the 64 bit linux support first, and not even announced the 64 bit windows version in any way for over a year.
Come on Adobe, we understand you and Microsoft are competitors, but don't let your users get caught in the cross fire. There are now close to as many computers running 64 bit windows than there are running any version of linux, or any version of mac os, 32 bit included.
It has been over a year and a half since Adobe even updated its position on this issue on its web site. Search bing for 64 bit flash and you get 32 million hits. 64 bit windows is nearly 3 years old as a released product, and 4+ years in terms of dobe having access to it.
Adobe, surely at the very least, you owe it to your customers to tell them when you plan to address this.

Flash Player for Windows 32-bit operating system
I feel so stupid ....
and I am also exhausted after trying to find a solution (which is not too technical for me ... ) to my problem:
I use a Dell portable PC System 1555 with System 7 64-bit operation system. I need of many reasons Flash Player (my grandchild tried to play games on internet and only get a "red cross" upper left when pushing the Play-button...) and I understand that Flash Player s is not finished yet from Adobe coming to 64-bit systems.
Now I also tried to install a streaming music program but got message back that I need to install Adobe Flash Player...
I have not been able to find an "easy" way to get my PC working with the 32- bit Flash Player as I understand shall be one solution to my problems.
I am a retired person not too clever technically, and am just wondering if it is possible to get an relatively easy instruction how to solve my problem.
By phone did Dell Norway give me the advice to contact the Adobe User Forum as Dell could not help me.
Thanking you, my advisor, much in advance !Thank you, all my good friends here at the forum, you have been very helpful.
I have read all the good advices and threads and have tried many things and the problem now seemed solved. The "trick" was probably to deactivate the ie64 bit browser and activate the ie32 bit.
Now I can again enjoy to open programs which need the Flash Player and I am able to enjoy a program providing streaming music to my portable Pc.
Again, thank you all! -
Hi,
I was told that 'Unfortunately Pentium 3's do not support running 64 bit operating systems.'
However, I really noticed many other people say that I should run a hardware reading program, such as 'SecurAble' to be sure that my processor will be capable to run 64Bit operating systems or not.
Thus, if [b]only Pentium 3's [/b]do not support running 64 bit operating systems, then there is no need from running such a program(screen shot below).
I really run this program using Windows 7(64Bit) with HP Laptop Core i5. And this is the reslut:
64-Bit Processing Available
This processor does offer 64-bit modes of operation. This means that this system is able to run the significantly more secure 64-bit versions of Microsoft's Windows XP and Vista operating systems.
The biggest challenge for 64-bit Windows systems is the fact that existing 32-bit device drivers cannot be used by the 64-bit operating system kernel. So if you do plan to try switching to 64-bit Windows, you should be sure to have a means for reverting
to 32-bit operation if your system's hardware turns out to be incompatible with 64-bit operation. Many people have reverted to 32-bit operation after bravely giving 64-bits a try for a short time.
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.Pentium 4 CPU s may or may not be 64bit capable depending on the specific model. Intel introduced 64bit versions after a number of 32bit only models. All mainstream later Intel CPU's are 64bit capable. The Atom processor may be 32 or 64 bit capable.
There is similar path with AMD CPU's, e.g. early Athlons were 32bit only, with later models 64 bit capable. -
When will Flash Player support my 64-bit browser?
I have had my new Windows 7 PC for a couple of weeks now. When I first got it, I kept getting messages telling me I needed to install Adobe Flash Player in order to get the full experience of a website. So I installed the Flash Player. Subsequently at many websites I got a pesky message about the Flash Player. (I forget the precise content of the message, but I'm sure many people using 64-bit browsers are familiar with it.)
I went to Adobe's site and discovered that the Flash Player did not support 64-bit browsers. Adobe's recommended solution for this disturbing news was that I install and run a 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, and Adobe didn't exactly lead me by the hand in explaining how I should do that. I was told to go to Microsoft and get help there. Yeh, right! Suddenly I'm thinking about a couple of hours of hassle. Nevertheless I browsed over to Microsoft and clicked to a few pages. I did not find any easy-to-follow instructions on how to uninstall my 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 and install a 32-bit version.
Is Adobe advising me to take a step backward? Is, or is not, 64-bit browsing better than 32-bit browsing?
I did not, and have not, installed the 32-bit Internet Explorer. Instead I found help at Adobe for uninstalling the Flash Player. Those pesky messages are history.
I really have not noticed any difference in quality between my former 32-bit browsing and my present 64-bit browsing, with and without the Flash Player. My browsing experience has been good, and I think the Flash Player adds nothing significant. Surely it adds nothing critical. Windows Vista has come and gone without Adobe providing support for its 64-bit version. Maybe the same thing will happen for Windows 7. So be it. If a Flash Player comes out that supports 64 bits, then I will use it. If Flash Player never supports 64 bits, then I'll never again use Flash Player.
I saw another post here, a fairly recent one, where a replier said that about 70% of Internet browsers are still using Windows XP. (I guess more than 90% of those use 32-bit browsers.) Okay, I believe that, but what about the other 30%? If only a measly 5% of all Internet browsers use 64 bits, that's a hell-of-a-lot of people. Surely thousands, maybe millions. Are all these people to be fobbed off? Does Adobe really have something more important to work on?
Should Adobe be condemned for its lassitude regarding 64-bit support? I think so, but what about the horde of websites that features the Flash Player? Knowing well that there are thousands, or millions, of people using 64-bit browsers, should not those websites and their organizations also be condemned?Frankly I think Adobe is treating its customers shabbilly in this regard. There is a much larger 64 bit windows installed base than 64 bit linux, yet adobe have released the 64 bit linux support first, and not even announced the 64 bit windows version in any way for over a year.
Come on Adobe, we understand you and Microsoft are competitors, but don't let your users get caught in the cross fire. There are now close to as many computers running 64 bit windows than there are running any version of linux, or any version of mac os, 32 bit included.

New iTunes still not working with 64 bit operating systems?
When will iTunes support advanced 64 bit operating systems...
Would seem that a next generation phone would work with the next generation of operating systems...iTunes does work with vista 64 bit. I can sync my iPod with it. It's the 'Apple Mobile Device Support' portion that is required by the iPhone that isn't working.

Timeline for Flash with 64 bit operating systems
Has there been any timeline for when Adobe will put out a version on Flash Player that works with 64 bit operating sustems? I looked around the site and forums and couldn't find anything on it other than the fact that it was going to come out after Version 10. Approximately when might that be?
i thought the 10.1 version (beta 2) was to support 64 bit browsers.. Even on Windows 7 and windows vista. Many Computer manufacturer's are now pushing the 64 bit versions of the microsoft operating systems which come equipped with the default internet explorer 64 bit version.
When will this version be available for download on windows 7 64 bit?
And if it is available (even as a beta) where can I download the flash player for 64 bit operating systems and browsers.
Thanks,

Does Adobe Premiere 7 work ok and is it supported under Vista 64 bits operating system
Does Adobe Premiere 7 work ok and is it supported under Vista 64 bits operating system?
No, it's not supported under any 64-bit operating system.
But it seems to work in compatibility mode, which turns on automatically in Vista. It may occasionally suffer a hiccup, but it seems to work for many people.
Just make sure all of your firmware, RealTek drivers and Quicktime are up to date. -

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
Can we assume Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit and that you are dealing with purchased installation files instead of tryout?
In either case, it might be easier for you to consider the download of the Premiere Elements 13 tryout from the following web site, where it might be easier to pin point the files that you need for your specific computer environment, that is, 32 bit installation files for 32 bit operating system and 64 bit installation files for 64 bit operating system. . If you are dealing with purchased software and serial number, during installation of the tryout files you insert your purchased serial number into these installation files. And, remember, you need 2 files for the process...one with a .exe file extension and one with a .7z file extension
So, please review and consider the following

I have a Widows 8 laptop. I cant open Itunes. I get a message "Itunes software does not install on 64 bit operating system" Can anyone tell me how to get it installed?
If you are referring to Vista Support, It may be after the new year before it fully supports vista. I have not upgraded to vista yet but I was thinking about it!

INdesign and 64 Bit Operating Systems
Been having problems with my INdesign, and the tech people on the support line said it is because I have Vista 64 bit operating system. This sounds very strange to me, as INdesign is the industry standard, and 64 bit operating systems are the norm. Does any one else have experience trying to run INdesign on a 64 bit system?
Bob's right; I'd suggest ignoring the 64-bit issue and just getting familiar with coming to the forums for assistance. I've worked phone tech-support jobs before; phone support reps are judged by how fast they can get you off the phone, and if you start the call with "Hey, I'm running ID on a 64-bit system" then they can get you off the phone immediately, so you just gave their call-time metrics an easy statistical boost.
1) So, yeah, the baseline grid will cause stuff to snap to it if you have that setting turned on in the "Grids & Guides" section of the View menu.
2) "Manual overrides" means that you can format text manually by clicking on the Font menu, and that will cause your formatting to diverge from what is defined in the style. Take a look at the style name; does it have a little plus next to it? That means that the text you've selected diverges from the style. Clear the overrides to return the text to the settings in the paragraph style. You can do this with an alt-click on the style name, or by clicking on the options pulldown in the Paragraph Styles panel and choosing "Clear Overrides." I do it so often that I have a keyboard shortcut set up to do it (in Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts). -
I would like to download an older version of iTunes for Windows Vista which has a 32-bit operating system. Any suggestions on how I can do this?
Hi JNPhillips1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Visit the main iTunes download page from your computer, and you should see the 32-bit download "iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7:"

Satellite C660 - How to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system?
Can some one please tell me how to change from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system for my Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook?
No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
Thanks in advance>No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
In user manual you could find a info that recovery disk needs to be created using preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media (disk) Creator
>I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
The Toshiba image of some notebook models contains the Win 7 32bit and 64bit system.
Not sure if your image supports both versions so cannot say for sure if you would be able to switch to 64bit but try this:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
During HDD recovery procedure you should be asked what version you want to chooseof course if both versions would be available so check thisotherwise you will need to purchase an 64bit version. -
