In what way is iTunes for 64-bit windows 64-bit?

I keep finding conflicting info on this topic.  There appears to be a version of iTunes for 64-bit Windows, but task manager shows itunes.exe as being 32-bit.
In what way is this installer 64-bit?  Does it install 64-bit drivers for iOS devices and iTunes, but the program is still 32-bit?

The itunes.exe process itself is 32-bit (on a 64-bit install). Most of the iTunes program files are also 32-bit.
The miniplayer is 64-bit, and there are 64-bit plugins for Outlook. (You'll see those items in the iTunes folder in your "Program files" rather than in the iTunes folder in your "Program files (x86)".)
The GEAR drivers itunes uses for burning will be the 64-bit versions on a 64-bit system.
The iPod service will be 64-bit on a 64-bit system.
Apple Mobile Device Support is 64-bit (so you'll have the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Service, and usbaapl64.sys and netaapl64.sys rather than usbaapl.sys and netaapl.sys, on the 64-bit system.)
Some of the bonjour componentry on the 64-bit install will be 64-bit.
Most everything else is 32-bit (QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support).
(Apologies for inaccuracies ... it's been a wee while since I checked the noir-household 64-bit Vista box for locations. The precise details of what is 32-bit and 64-bit can change between versions. For example, one of the big changes between the itunes 8.x 64-bit versions and the itunes 9.x 64-bit versions was the iPod Service going 64-bit.)

    How do i know if my itunes is compatible with windows 64 bit?

    Did you download the 64-bit installer?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • What are performance limits for HFM 11.1 64-bit?

    Hello All,
    Does anybody tried subj or have any Oracle/Hyperion materials about 64-bit version?
    How much RAM can HFM 64-bit take? (32-bit one could eat 2GB only)
    What it recommended limit for base records number in sub-cubes?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Mike,
    In version 11.1.2.3.500, the performance of the GUI has been decreased comparing to previous versions due to the use of the ADF. However, there are parameters in the system that you can change in order to improve the situation. The best approach is to contact an infrastructure consultant who will review the system and edit the OHS/IIS parameters.
    Additionally, there is a rumor that version 11.1.2.4 has solved these issues and hopefully a few more.
    I am sure that you will find more info on EPM System Infrastructure

  • What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?

    Hello all,
    It's been a while since I posted here, but so nice to see familiar names like Strider, Ron, Duane, MrTotes etc (incidentally Strider, your web pages on how the get the best out of OS9 were excellent for me back in 2001/2).
    My problem now is, I'm running OSX.3.9 and I've had an iTunes gift card for the last two years which is about to expire. I was hoping I'd have upgraded my computer by now but money is (always) an issue.
    I'm using iTunes 4 with a 2nd gen iPod (first one with the scrolly wheel I think). I wanted to use the card and download a bunch of songs, but I think I need a newer version that can support the purchasing of tracks. This one seems to have had the functionality fall by the wayside.
    If it's not possible to buy songs anymore in OSX.3.9 can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
    1) The gift card has not been registered yet.
    2) I would probably need to make sure the tracks are DRM free before purchasing.
    On a side note, I picked up two minty fresh G3 iMacs last year for £20. One was a Sage G3 450, the other a Snow G3 600. I was so happy

    What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?
    Click here for it.
    can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
    Yes. Right-click the songs in iTunes and move them over as you would any file.

  • IPod Touch is stuck in "connect to iTunes" screen. It is not recognized by iTunes or by my Windows (64-bit) computer.

    I recently purchased a new laptop after my old one ceased to function. Therefore, I had lost ,my old iTunes, and my iPod is no longer authorized by a functioning computer. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, plugged my iPod in, and tried to install the new iPod Touch software update. I got the error message that the installation had failed, and iTunes automatically ejected my iPod, leaving it in the "connect to iTunes" screen, in which it has been stuck ever since (about 9 days now). I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, have rebooted my computer numerous times, I have tried various holdings of the power button and home button as recommended on several help forums, etc. to no avail. I am using a Windows 7 (64-bit) system on a brand new HP Pavilion dm4 laptop with plenty of space and the newest version of iTunes installed. My iPod Touch (3G) is not being recognized by iTunes or by my laptop. I would like to, if possible, restore my iPod to original factory settings so that it can be authorized on my new laptop and will sync approrpiately. Any help anyone can provide will be immensely appreciated. Thank you.
    Also, the iTunes is the version for a 64-bit Windows OS.

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.

    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

    - Next try DFU mode:

    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

  • Seamlessly switching between iTunes for Mac and Windows

    The path on a Windows machine to my iTunes is something like N:\My Music, where N is mapped as a network drive. On a Mac, that same Drive N is mapped as “fireserver” on the server machine. So on iTunes for the Mac, it would have to be //servername/fireserver/My Music or something along those lines.
    Here’s the problem. The iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml are the files in Windows that store the information regarding which iTunes music is there, as well as the playlists and their contents. Therefore, if I move from one machine to another, as long as each has the server’s drive mapped as N, I can copy those two files from one machine to the other and it serves two purposes. First, it is a backup of sorts of my iTunes library. Second, I don’t have to update the information on two computers but rather one, and then copy the files to have an identical library, including playlists.
    I would like to sync my iPhone and iPod(s) with my Mac, but I have a Windows machine, and need to continue to use that Windows machine to do other things with iTunes, such as port music to the backyard of my house. I don’t know how to keep the two iTunes libraries in sync since the xml and itl files refer to files and folders within N:\My Music. Even if I laboriously edited those files and did a global replace, that would be a one shot deal, and thereafter, I would have to update on the Windows side and on the Mac side.
    So here is the question. Is there a way that I can set up my Mac so that when I refer to N: it knows that I mean //servername/fireserver (I’m not sure if I have the syntax right, but I think I’m getting my point across)? In this way, the files would point to N:\whatever and the computer would know that I mean //servername/fireserver/whatever.
    This would solve a major problem for me.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have been really surprised by the lack of responses to this post. I'm thinking, this is such a typical thing that people would want to do - sharing their music with friends and family - I can't be the first to have the problem. Plus, I've always received such quick, expert advice on this forum to other questions since buying my Mac a couple of months ago.
    But now I'm wondering whether there is something else going on that precludes the resident experts from answering. Is sharing music as I've described illegal? Maybe that's why everybody's keeping quiet, i.e., if you tell me how to share my songs with a friend then you're assisting in copyright infringement.
    I didn't think it was illegal to share music with a friend in this way, as long as the songs you've downloaded from iTunes aren't shared on more than four devices or whatever. If it is illegal I'd sure like to know. That would also explain the radio silence.
    Thanks.

  • SQL Interface for Oracle in Windows 64 bit

    Hi there,
    Is there anyone ever trying to upload data from oracle (relational sql) to the essbase on Windows 64 bit platform ? I've read the documentation about setting SQL Interface by using the ODBC Connection ( using DataDirect Library ), but it seems that I can not see the DataDirect lib in the ODBC Control Panel (64bit), but it is installed in the 32 bit ODBC (odbcad32.exe).
    However when I try to add new connection using MERANT OEM 5.2 64-BIT Oracle ODBC driver (DataDirect lib), it raise error : "the setup routines for the MERANT OEM 5.2 64-BIT Oracle ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 193"..

    I got it to work!!!
    The reg setting that is provided is for the wrong version of the dll. Notice the 5.1 and then you only have 5.2 directories.
    The files in the reg are also wrong they are for the example below. arora21.dll (stated) vs arora22.dll (one's provided)
    Some easy tweaks.
    I modified the reg with the following and presto. It worked!! To make it better you can change the OEM 5.1 to OEM 5.2.. Good luck
