IPhone + iTunes + Vista 64-Bit OS = No Bueno

Hey Community,
I have searched the forums and Google for the answer to this problem. I would call, but they are closed right now.
Ok, so I just bought my iPhone a couple days ago. I installed iTunes (64-bit version) for my laptop Gateway MD2614U with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit. I then proceeded to connect my iPhone to the computer and then iTunes comes up and says "The iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
I have done this numerous times with no avail. I have tried a solution that was on here before that said that the usbappl driver was not in the correct place, but that didn't help me. In fact the usbappl file I found was usbappl64.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

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:

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.

  • ITunes Vista 64 bit --- display errors

    I have recently run into a problem with iTunes 8.2 for Vista 64 bit. When the window is not maximized, or close to taking up my entire screen, podcast and album covers, icons for the 'GET" for podcast, the icons for closing/max/min in the top right corner, and the store front does not scroll properly. There is a weird drawing error that seems to get resolved once I maximize iTunes to take up the entire screen.
    I have uninstalled, redownloaded the latest iTunes Vista 64 bit, but to no avail remains unresolved. For the life of me I can't figure out why this is happening. I don't recall having this problem with the prior version of iTunes. I am running on a new Sager 9262 laptop with a GeForce 9800M GTX. I can't imagine this could be a video driver issue since it was working fine before.

    Well I have an update. I uninstalled MS Office and still had the black screen issue with iTunes. Resizing did not help, Turning off DEP had no effect.
    To make a long story short. I found a utility I had installed from the Samsung T260 monitor CD was causing my Problem. I disabled MultiScreen in the start up configuration (msconfig from the Command prompt).
    iTunes (including the new version 8) has not had the black screen since I disabled (and then uninstalled) MultiScreen.
    I do not know if there is an update to MultiScreen - I don't use it anyway.
    Neilapril - this has worked for me... I hope it does the same for you.

  • Cannot See or Hear Movies in iTunes (Vista 64-bit)

    I cannot See or hear movies or trailers I download to iTunes (Vista 64-bit v). The screen just remains blank even thought he progress bar shows seconds of play are passing. the files are .m4v. I tried opening them with Quicktime instead, but that didn't work either.
    I read and complied with the recommendatons on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718?viewlocale=en_US , but it did not help.
    Are other iTunes Vista 64 users able to watch movies and trailers?

  • IPhone + iTunes + Vista 64bit

    Is the iPhone/iTunes not compatable with Windows Vista 64bit edition? Everytime I connect my Phone to my PC I get this message:
    The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again.
    I have tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes atleast 4 times.. Doesn't fix it.

    My Desktop PC, My Laptop and my Wife's Laptop all run Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. So I don't have a 32bit computer.
    Also on the box it doesn't say that 64 bit isn't supported. Also on the apple.com website I only found one place it says 64 bit wasn't supported and you have to dig for it..
    Also when I bought my iPhones I bought them from a AT&T Store and at the store I bought at they got them from the back and immediately scanned it then put it in a bag and sealed the bag shut and told you you couldn't open it until your off their property.. So even if it was on the box which its not I couldn't have known until I got home from the store....
    So I have 2 iPhones which I was able to get activated when I went to Washington State to visit my family I just hooked up to my Dad's computer and activated but at home in Virginia I can't sync contacts, emails, or upload my music, etc...

  • ITunes, Vista 64-bit, Black screen

    I recently purchased a new PC which came with Vista 64-bit. I installed iTunes and when I open the application the iTune window is black. I have found several thigns online about disabling desktop compsition, switch then makes the entire screen green when I open the iTunes application.
    Is this a known issue with iTunes and Vista? Is there a fix?

    Well I have an update. I uninstalled MS Office and still had the black screen issue with iTunes. Resizing did not help, Turning off DEP had no effect.

  • ITunes freezes when syncing to my iPhone 4S with Windows Vista 32 bit.

    I have downloaded the newest version of iTunes after deleting the previous version.I tried connecting my iPhone 4S 16 gig, iPod Touch, and my iPhone 3GS and with each device, iTunes freezes and will not sync completely with any device. My operating system is Windows Vista, 32-bit

    I'm attaching the print screen of iTunes again (as referred in the original post).

  • ITunes v7.6 still NOT working w/Vista 64-bit

    I believe it's not working because AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi WON'T install.
    It gives me a "The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured." error.
    Is there ANY WAY around this at all?
    Also I've installed & uninstalled iTunes v7.6 multiple times now, rebooting between installs also but still no luck.
    I've also extracted the 6 installation files out of iTunesSetup.exe and I'm trying to get AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to install, but it just won't install.
    When I start the iTunesSetup.exe package and finish installation, iTunes Setup Assistant also gives me a warning that says "iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."
    And under Event Viewer I see this "Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Apple Mobile Device Support. Product Version: 1.1.3.26. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1603."
    Help please! I would really like for iTunes to work with my iPhone!

    Well at least up and til today, there never was a solution to activate or even synch Vista 64 bit OS, iTunes, and the iPhone - for anyone, anywhere - period. Not unless you used some VMware solution (which I've heard mixed results on).
    This new version of iTunes (7.6) did today for the first time, correct the ability to burn CDs from my collection of music in iTunes. Before this version it wasn't possible.
    My Mobile Device Support program did update and install correctly today along with the other apps that got updated. So now I wonder if it is truly possible to activate and synch with an iPhone?!? Anyone try this yet?
    Cyanide regarding your install, I had to go through something similar back in one of the earliest versions designed for Vista 64bit OS. The trick is not only uninstalling, but removing all references in the registries, left over file folders, etc. after uninstall. Then begin a clean install.
    BUT, it's entirely possible that the iPhone still is still not capable of syncing with Vista 64 bit.
    If you think you've had this ability before, than I'm 99.9% sure you only have Vista 32 bit OS.

  • Installing iTunes on Vista 64-bit

    *Looking for 64-bit support from Apple*
    I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows and was disappointed to find out that Apple does not support it (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301 ). I tried to install iTunes anyway and the installation failed. This forum didn't provide any initial solutions that I could find so now that I've figured it out I thought I would post a solution for those that come looking.
    *How do I know if I have the 64-bit version of Vista?*
    Press the windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time (the pause/break key is normally in the upper right corner of the keyboard). On the window that appears look for the label "System Type." next to it you will see text indicating whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
    *What Will happen if I try to install Vista?*
    You experience may varry, but when I tried the installation ran for a while and ended with a message saying Quicktime could not be installed. I checked the Programs menu and iTunes was not listed after this failure.
    *How do I successfully install iTunes on a 64-bit edition of Vista?*
    When you download iTunes select the option to save the installation instead of running it immediatly. After the download completes right-click on the installation and select properties. Under the "Compatibility" tab check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Ensure that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected. Also check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." Click on okay and the install iTunes.
    *Will this also work for XP 64-bit edition?*
    I don't know.
    *I've successfully installed iTunes on my 64-bit machine. Can I use it to activate my iPhone?*
    No.
    If you try to activate your iPhone you will receive a message saying "Please connect iPhone to a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista."
    *What happens if I set iTunes to run in Compatibility mode*
    iTunes will detect that it is running in a compatibility mode and suggest that you turn the mode off and restart iTunes. Since it recognizes that it is running on a 64-bit machine it will still refuse to activate an iPhone. Bummer.
    *If I activate my iPhone on another machine then can i transfer content to it on Vista 64-bit edition?*
    Nope. iTunes will instruct you to connect the phone to a 32-bit machine.

    Yes the forum has been misbehaving recently hence my double post. Ther should be an edit button, but it is only present for a few minute.
    The error you are getting has certainly been associated with a failure of Windows updates, but I don't know if the one you mention is an issue.
    The microsoft link to the update problem is;
    http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ca7d15d7-8ee3-4993-bd01-753d adc904121033.mspx
    That's about as far as I can go with this I am afraid.

  • ITunes Disables My Internet On Vista 64-Bit

    I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this issue, but let me detail this as much as I can, and see if anyone knows of a work around...
    So I recently set up my girlfriend's network, with her ISP's modem and a Linksys wireless router (http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/WRT54GL). I set it up with wireless security (WPA-Personal). I connected to her wireless network with her computer, an HP laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit, my Acer Aspire One (ZG5) running Windows XP SP3, a Dell Inspiron 600m running Windows XP SP2 and my iPhone 3GS, with the 3.1.2 OS. All were able to access the internet flawlessly, with NO issues.
    I then bought her a 5th Gen Nano. When I ordered it, I told her to start learning iTunes, so she downloaded it, and was looking around it. This is when the issues started...
    She was still able to get online through IE, and she downloaded Windows Live Messenger. However, it would not connect for her.
    She was e-mailing me later that night, and everything worked. However, the next day, she called me, informing me that the internet was now inaccessible...
    I came over to check on the network, and my laptop connected to her network, but had a sketchy internet connection. Now, please don't misunderstand that, as I had a 5 bar, immensely strong and stable connection with her WiFi, as I was sitting right next to the router. When I used IE (and FireFox), I would be able to access Google about once every 5 attempts.
    Her computer (the HP) could not connect at all. My iPhone seemed to be doing okay with the connection. I pinged Google and Yahoo! from the CMD Prompt, and was always given a reply each time.
    I couldn't figure out what was going on, and she had been making a comment about wishing her computer was back to the way it was, so being that most Vista laptops (from what I've experienced) have recovery partitions on the HDD, I reformatted it and restored it to the "out of the box" defaults.
    Everything worked good then. All devices were able to access the internet EVERY TIME attempted.
    I then installed iTunes 9.0.1 again on her computer, and that's when the issues started again. Once everything was installed, it gave the network issues. I had internet issues (not CONNECTION issues with the router) with my laptop (the Acer). My iPhone was unable to access the internet from here, and I had to pop over to the 3G network.
    To rule out ANY conflicting software, I pruned her computer and removed all unnecessary software that had been reinstalled through the reformat restore (trial burning software, trial ISP stuff, etc.). I could still not access the internet through any of the three devices. This time I had NO successful attempts, as I had last time.
    However, here's the two things that really irritated me to no end. On her computer, Windows Update was actively downloading the updates. However, nothing else that accessed the internet was working (Live Messenger, iTunes store, IE, FireFox, etc.). And my computer wouldn't work online. Nothing...yet pinging different websites still responded...
    Anyways, I uninstalled iTunes on her computer and magically the "block" on the internet was lifted. All three devices were able to access the internet with no issues at all...
    When I got home later that night, I looked into the issue a little, and noticed that apparently iTunes has some specific conflictions with HP and Logitech drivers, especially when it comes to Vista, and this IS an HP computer. However, what baffles me is that iTunes being installed on JUST HER COMPUTER seemed to put a block on the internet from the wireless router...I would've thought if there were an issue, it would've just blocked her computer from the internet, not mine and my iPhone...*it was as if iTunes on her computer cut the connection from her modem to her wireless router*...
    What gets me even more is that I have iTunes 9.0.18 on MY laptop, and it caused NO conflictions with her network...I'm baffled...this is just goofy for me to have to find an alternative to iTunes JUST FOR HER COMPUTER, otherwise it pretty much takes down her internet connection, YET NOT HER NETWORK!!! And what gets me even more is that Windows Update WAS STILL DOWNLOADING UPDATES!!!
    I checked her WiFi router settings when I re-set it up, and all restrictions were off, and any permissions that would cause a block in the network by unknown stuff were off...I just don't get it...anyone have any insight on this?
    If you have any questions for me, to get more detail to help me rule out this issue, just ask. I'd REALLY like to reinstall iTunes on her computer, instead of another program. I've actually downloaded the older versions of iTunes (as in my research, I read that anything after 7.7.1 apparently causes issues with Vista running HPs, due to some driver or file incompatibility...). Hoping that 7.7.1, 8.0, 8.2.1 or 9.0 (not 9.0.1) can resolve this, so at least she can still use iTunes...
    *HELP!!! Please!!!*

    It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

  • ITunes 8 and Vista 64 bit - Is it WORKING?

    I'm reading all over the place that iTunes 8 is causing the "Blue Screen of Death" crash on Vista 32 bit PC's. Has anyone yet tried it on Vista 64 bit and been successful? I have a iPhone 3G and an iPod Classic 160GB - I only mention that because the crash issue might be specific to drivers for certain devices only, so let me know what you tried it with if you have it working (or not).

    Unfortunately, no.
    It does not work correctly, I actually had to do a system restore. It broke a few things. Most noticeably my quick launch bar quit working. The icons were present but clicking them did nothing, it would not re-size correctly, etc.
    I wont be putting it back on the PC any time soon.
