IPhone/iTunes and 64 bit Vista

I was just curious if the first gen and the 3G iPhone and iTunes are compatible with the 64 bit Windows Vista operating system.
Thanks a lot.

Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Hey Don,
What exactly happens after you install iTunes? Do you see an error message?

Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

Hello gman4354,
It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
Then close the Music app on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album

Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album. Where is the rest of the album? My iTunes account showed that I was charged for the full account>

Welcome to the forums!
I'd contact the iTunes store and explain your situation. While they normally do not allow duplicate downloads the iPhone and Store interface is brand new and bound to have some issues to start with. I'd suspect they'll just allow you to download it again or credit your account.

ITunes and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Is there an iTunes version that is compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate? If so, can you please let me know?

I have iTunes 7.3.2.6 running on Ultimate Vista 64. I initially had problems with it recognizing my DVD-RW but eventually found a solution in this group related to the GEAR drivers.
The only problem that remains is not recognizing the current user as administrator unless you "launch as administrator." But this has not affected performance.
BTW, when application developers list "32-bit Vista" under system requirements, this does not mean that 64-bit Vista versions can't run it, it only means that it's not a 64-bit app. Vista 64 is designed to run 32-bit apps.

Trouble with iTunes and Windows Vista

Hello,
I have a new Win Vista system and need to move over all my old music to existing IPOD. I installed the latest version of itunes, and the Windoes patch (can't recall the number). I been able to successfully install itunes and port over my music. However when I attach the iPod and sync it I get the following errors: Attempting to copy to disk "name of iPod" failed. an unknown error occured (-124), and then "The iPod "name of Ipod" can't be synced. The required file cant be found, and "the iPod "name of iPod" can't be synched. The required folder can't be found.
The odd thing is that it appeard as if it was synching up songs accorning to the status bar across the top.
Any help please....
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

Ipod nano, new itunes, and windows vista

Hello,
I just recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista. With all the problems i've been having, I was sure that I would have problems with iTunes...
Well everything went surprisingly well when installing the new iTunes and adding all of my music files to the library. I nervously connected my iPod to the USB, thinking it would erase all of my files but I was happy to discover that my computer recognized my iPod and remembered that I keep it so that I can manually manage my music.
Now the problem is that, when I connect my iPod it comes up with a list of tabs, (summary, music etc...)...the summary tab says that my iPod has 13M left out of 4 gigs which is correct...but when I click on the music tab, it does not show the list of music in my iPod...so I cannot edit what is on my iPod. It gives me the option of syncing my iPod to my iTunes library, but I don't want to do that because it will erase everything that is already on my iPod, and I'm afraid that I'll have problems after that such as not being able to add songs onto it. When I eject my iPod and look through it, I find all of the songs still on it....is there an option somewhere that I'm overlooking? Is this something that has to do with the new iTunes or do you think it may be something with Vista?
any input would be appreciated, thanks.

This has nothing to do with Windows Vista, it's basically just one of the changes from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7. If you look in the left-hand column of iTunes (the source list) you should see the name of your iPod below the word "devices." If you look to the left of the name of the iPod icon, you should see a small triangle that appears to be pointing toward the iPod. Click on it. You should now see an additional menu below the iPod's name. If you click on "music" below your iPod, it should show you a list of what's on your iPod.
Hope this helps!

Itunes and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit

I just purchased a HP TouchSmart with Vista Home Premium 64bit system.I have itunes loaded but after about 10 min. after i connect my ipod to it it locks up the computer completely. I have tried itunes on 2 identical computers and got the same results.
I also did a restore on the ipod and it still does the same thing. Any help will be appreciated.bobwire

Just an update, though it's more of a (non) update.
I'm not sure how but I managed to get it working.
After doing the things mentioned above, I tried a system restore but that didn't work and seemed to throw more error messages my way. Then I ran AppleSoftewareUpdater.exe and it gave me red X errors with no details, I assumed the install failed completely.
Following this, I manually downloaded and tried to install the latest version again but it said iTunes was already installed. At this point I'm far past annoyed.
So, I click on iTunes and now everything works.
I wish I knew what actually fixed the problem so others could benefit if they're experiencing the same thing....hence why I say, (non)-update.
Anyways,
Take care Everyone

ITunes and Windows Vista

I've just purchased a new computer. It came with Vista Home Premiun OS. When I download iTunes on it -- it works fine until the computer is shut down. When the computer is then started again the DVD/CD driver software cannot be found. The drive won't recognize anything. If I uninstall iTunes it works fine, I reload iTunes and it works fine until I shut down again -- then it doesn't find it again.
I am pretty sure I have the most updated version of Vista (although I will check asap) and know that I have most updated iTunes (just downloaded) -- anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it....other going back to XP or uninstalling iTunes?

It would be best first to check for a device filter conflict:
iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
... however, if you're still getting no CD/DVD drive with just the iTunes filters in place, you may be one of the unlucky ones who are getting the issue discussed here:
Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
Although it wouldn't necessarily be a short-term solution, keep an eye on that document for updated information about the issue.
In the short term, one workaround might be to use a different application to rip the CDs, and then use the "Add to library" function to get the ripped files into your iTunes. The following document might be of some help with that:
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions

How to fix continued crashes and hangs of iPhone, iTunes and iPhoto.

PROBLEM
I started to suffer these immediate problems when getting iPhone:
1. When the iPhone is connected to the computer, iTunes would hang, and also iPhoto would hang.
2. Both would need to be restarted from the opt-apple-esc key option.
3. When iTunes was re-started, it would not "see" the iPhone, or even if it "saw" the iPhone, it would refuse to sync. This refusal was either from (a) an error reporting a connection error, or (b) the process of synch would hang.
4. iPhoto about 1/2 of the time would not properly import photos.
DIAGNOSIS
After trial and error, I came to the following conclusions:
a/ Part of the problem involved the USB connector on my laptop. It was not connecting 100%, so by jiggling it and making sure it was clean, the connection errors started to decrease some, (but did not go away).
b/ By pulling up the Process Monitor, I noticed that the CPU was becoming overloaded each time the iTunes and iPhoto applications crashed. (I have an older machine, a PowerBook g4 17" with 1GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM.
HOW TO FIX PROBLEM
The following worked for me:
1/ For iPhoto, change the settings so that it does NOT automatically launch when the iPhone is plugged in. This is done with iPhoto>Preferences>General: "Connection Camera Opens" > No Application. You can still use iPhoto with your iPhone, but it will not automatically launch when the iPhone is plugged in. This will stop the hanging. [at least it did for me]
2/ For iTunes, disable the option to "sync when plugged in" iTunes>Preferences>Syncing> check the box "disable automatic syncing".
The effect of these actions is to disable the complex chain of events that occurs when the iPhone is plugged in. I believe my CPU just can not handle them. So once they are disabled, there is no problem doing this manually. iPhoto does not launch, even if you have not photographs to upload, and iTunes does not try to launch and sync all in one giant transaction. You simply click the "sync" button when you wish to sync.
My suggestion is that if you have an older mac, check to see if the CPU is getting overwhelmed. If it is, then these setting might help you. For me, after they were put in place, I've not had quite as many problems. About 1/2 the time, iTunes will not sync, but this is easily fixed by simply quitting and restarting iTunes. That seems to work most of the time.

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Problems transferring videos to iPhone, iTunes and now QuickTime

So I wanted to add a video to my iPhone 4S, but iTunes would not allow this, as the "file could not be played on this iPhone". After reading a few threads about this, I tried adding the video to iTunes to see if it appeared under "home videos" or "recently added", and then convert it, so it would be watchable on my iPhone, but nothing happened. After reading some other discussions where someone said you should open the video in QuickTime and export it to iTunes, I tried that, but QuickTime says "the movie's file format isn't recognized". I tried this with .mov, .mp4, .avi, and so on, but QuickTime doesn't want any file format. The files open and play in VLC just fine.
What's the problem here? Once I think I have the solution, there's another problem, and I'm starting to get pretty angry with this.
Mac OSX 10.7.5., iPhone 4S: IOS 5.1.1., iTunes 11.0.1. (12), QuickTime: 10.1., if anyone's wondering.

Has to be synced. But you can change it so that only the ones checked will sync. Go into iTunes with your iPhone connected and scroll through the tabs. There will be an option to sync only the checked media. So uncheck the ones you do not want.
There is no drag feature available for iPhone like there is for iPod. It has to sync to folders and playlists

Updated iPhone / iTunes and now cannot Import CDs

OS: Win7 Home Premium
iTunes: 10.1.0.56
Yesterday I decided to take the plunge and started importing my CD collection. About 30 CDs in I decided to take a break. I plugged in my iPhone and hit the update button in iTunes. (I’m not sure if I got the iPhone update and/or Itunes + quicktime update.) At any rate, when I went back to importing CDs nothing would import. I’ve tried about 5 different CDs, but each gets a version of this error, “Error occurred while converting the file [blah blah blah]. The disk could not be read from or written to.”
I can play CDs using iTunes. I can play previously imported CDs using iTunes. But now I cannot import CDs.

Its always the first song of the CD as I try to import it. I can play from the CD without any problem. However, when I click 'Import CD' I get the following type of error, "Error occurred while converting teh file 'Mozart: Le Nozze Di Figaro, K 492 - - Overture'. The disk could not be read from or written to.
I'm trying to save to a network folder. I'm not sure what the path is or how to find it again in iTunes.

Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks

paul's onto it.
if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:
