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...

  • 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 1.6 and Windows Vista 64bit Help

    I have not been able to use iTunes properly since I got a new computer with Vista 64bit. I can play music, browse iTunes Store and watch Video, but the problem comes when I try to attach my iPod Touch or try burning a CD. With the last version, it seemed that 64bit windows Vista was not supported so I just decided to wait for an upgrade. I download iTunes 1.6 from Apple.com and try to install and it says I need the 64bit iTunes Installer. Did I miss the download for it?
    This is the error message I get...
    This iTunes Installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. It is Highly recommended that you download and install the 64-bit iTunes Installer instead.
    All I need is a Link to the 64-bit Installer because I cant find it.

    What's supposed to happen is that when you go to the download page, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download, it's supposed to recognize that you're running 64 bit Vista and then you get the 64 bit iTunes installer. But I've seen reports that FireFox users are only getting the 32 bit installer page.
    Can you try that link with IE? And do you get a different installer then?

  • Vista 64bit t and itunes 7.5

    I just installed Itunes 7.5 on my windows vista 64bit machine. The software loaded fine but the cd burning function doesn't work. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I know that Itunes 7.5 is not a vista 64 bit piece of software. Notwithstanding this fact, it is working fine except for the cd burning function.

    This forum is for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, not iTunes.
    You'll probably want to repost your question in the iTunes for Windows disussions:

  • Vista 64bit and iTunes 8.2.0.23 - interface problems

    I've had these strange iTunes interface issues ever since I moved to Vista 64bit a while ago.
    I can't adjust the volume using the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window (to the right of the Play buttons) The volume slider won't respond to my mouse.
    I can't scroll the library window using the scroll bar on the right side of the iTunes window. I have to either scroll with my mouse wheel or click the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar.
    I also can't resize the library columns. They are either very narrow, or if I double click the column edge they will auto resize, then I am stuck with them set at the widest item in the list.
    I recently uninstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices and the Apple Updater. I then searched my Hard Drive and Registry for anything left over from Apple or iTunes and deleted it.
    I then downloaded and installed the latest iTunes, hoping that these issues would be resolved, but I am still having the same issues with the latest version.
    Any ideas would be welcome.
    I just realized I have another issue. I can't import my playlists from Windows Media Player either. I've added my Music folder to the iTunes playlist (the same one that Windows Media Player users) and went to File -> Library -> Import Play list -> chose my WMP playlist (a .wpl file) -> clicked Open and nothing happens.
    Message was edited by: Apr2009

    Ok, so I saved my Windows Media Player playlist as M3U files and imported them into iTunes. Wow! What a complete mess that made of my library.
    All songs that were on the playlists (hundreds of songs) were duplicated in my iTunes library. iTunes would show two entries for each song. When I right clicked and choose 'Show in Windows Explorer' both entries point to the same song, it just shows up twice in iTunes.
    I cleared my iTunes library file and am starting over. I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Media Player. I've been listening to music off my Blackberry and it's really been fine. Just seemed a shame that my iPod was sitting in a drawer because of all the issues I'm having with iTunes and Vista.
    The original problem I had months ago was that iTunes crashed on Vista and lost all my Playlists. I was so upset I put all my music on my SD card on my Blackberry, because Windows Media Player makes it so easy to back up your playlists. They are saved as files and can be included in any automatic backups (I have scheduled backups to another hard drive)
    I thought with this new version of iTunes I could at least export the playlists to files so they can be backed up, I just don't know if I can face re-creating the playlists in iTunes.

  • Audible, iTunes and Vista 64bit

    Hi everyone, I'm moving to a new computer tomorrow that has Vista 64bit on it. I know that iTunes is now compatible, but I have a lot of audiobooks from Audible and to listen to them I know I'll have to authorise my new computer. I've had a look through the help pages on audible's site and it says that there is a problem with iTunes that stops you from authorising your computer on a 64 bit vista machine: http://audible-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/aid/3666/kw/vista%2064/rid/166
    The thing is, some of the info on audible's website can be quite old so I'm not sure if this problem has been addressed yet or not. Has anyone managed to authorise a 64bit vista system for audible content? If not, can anyone think of any work arounds? (other than keeping the old computer around until the problem is fixed!)
    Cheers
    Nicola

    I had Vista 64 and now Windows 7 64 and no issues--and there is a 64 bit version of iTunes too. All works well.

  • ICloud wont work on Windows Vista 64bit

    Hey there,
    Ive been using iCloud with my iPhone 4, iPad and my MacBook Pro since it came out and it all works perfect.
    Now I wanted it to run on my Windows Vista 64bit Desktop PC, to sync with Safari, Outlook etc.
    My problem is: Everytime I start iCloud and confirm my username and password, iCloud is just shutting down saying "iCloud is no longer working" (in German: iCloud funktioniert nicht mehr)
    I reinstalled it severall times and its always the same error...MobileMe has the same error by the way...Ive searched so long on the web and in other forums but no one had a clue...Hopefully you can help me!
    Thanks,
    p0ly

    Hmmm.  No, not exactly, but close enough (for me).  Sorrry, in my rush I klutz'd the response.  First I had MicroSoft  do a clean install of 64 bit Offfice on my 64 bit Vista, then I uninstalled MobileMe, and iCloud, then reinstalled iCloud in that order.  Oh...and by the way ... this was on 2 of my Vista machines.  My virgin Win 7 machine had no issues at all with 32 bit.
    The salient point I (regretably) missed in my first reply was to clean up the all references to Outlook in the registry.  The tech tought the problem was related to keys for a (long ago) trial version of Office;  Tho that was speculation on his part.
    One thing is clear:  The Apple tech said MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud and to remove it!
    In the process, I learned that each (4) MS tech's stated, "Outlook has no issues, the problem is with Apple."  I had to force them to do a clean install ... after failing with 2 techs I took a harder stance - happy I did.  One told me they are under pressure to keep their calls under 15 minutes.  Uninstall/cleanup/reinstall took ~2 hours.
    Appologies p0ly,
    tom

  • Windows Vista 64bit and Zen, Video Convertsion

    We just updated out computer to one with Windows Vista 64bit.
    Everything was fine until we tried to convert a .mov file to place it on the Zen. First it said we needed Quicktime ver 7 (which apparently the original video was created with). Tried to install that, to no avail. Turns out Quicktime 7 is not supported under Vista 64bit, according to Apple.
    I then found on another message board of people having trouble running iTunes on Vista 64. Use the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then select the 64bit version of iTunes.
    After the install the video conversion worked perfectly.
    Hope this helps others.
    Thanks

    Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
    Yes. Both the computer and OS X are fully 64-bit compliant.
    You can install a second video card that does not work with OS X but does work with Windows. Third-party video cards do not work with OS X because they do not have the EFI boot ROM required by OS X. They will, however, work when you boot into Windows. You do not need to convert the Mac Pro to a Windows-only machine which would seem a waste of perfectly good hardware and software.
    You can install any SATA hard drive in the Mac Pro. There is no limitation with regard to size. Cache, however, is a feature of the drive and not the computer. Apple does not "qualify" drives for use with the computer.
    These questions have been discussed in the Mac Prp fourms so I suggest you search the forums for other discussions of the topics.

  • Download Itunes 10 64bit with Windows 7 "Freezes"

    I have attempted downloading Itunes 10 64bit on my new ASUS PC with Windows 7. It starts to download then "Freezes" at about 20-25mbs. I am using agood broadband connection. Is the software available on anyother media ie: CD rom?

    I have iTunes 10.2.1 running on ASUS Win7 64 bit.
    After the upgrade to iTunes 10.2.1 I had major problems syncing. I had not had issues previously. I keep my iPhone locked but previously I could just plug it in and iTunes would start and the iPhone would sync. Now I have had many error messages, such as:
    A folder was specified instead of a file.
    A duplicate file name was specified.
    An internal device error occurred.
    The required file cannot be found.
    An unknown error occurred (0xE8004006)
    There are too many files open currently.
    iTunes could not back up the iPhone "myphone" because the backup session failed.
    A connection could not be established to the iPhone.
    Not all errors occurred at once, but during the many hours I worked on the issues. My troubleshooting went in this order:
    shut down iPhone and try again to resync -- still received connect errors.
    reset iPhone (hold down top button and home button about 10 seconds) -- still errors.
    deauthorize and reauthorize my computer -- still issues.
    uninstall all apple programs in an order specified by apple and download and install the latest version of iTunes (latest was already installed, but reinstalled it) -- still errors.
    Then I saw an entry by someone about unlocking the iPhone. I did this before connecting the iPhone to the computer and it connected. However, I still had other errors.
    I configured iTunes to not sync with Outlook email, calendar, notes, etc. Only synced with Contacts. I also unchecked many of the apps to be synced. I finally got it to back up and complete a sync (according to the iTunes message). However, my Outlook contacts did not sync properly. That is, a new Outlook entry did not come across. Maybe other issues but not sure yet.
    Also, the iTunes sync is very, very slow and iTunes appears to freeze during the sync. That is, the iTunes window cannot be repositioned and if I open another window and close/minimize it, the image remains on top of the iTunes window and does not clear.
    Bottom line, it appears to sync now but with limited results. My apps now work after the second somewhat successful sync whereas after the first sync an app would open and then immediately close (except for the bundle of apps that came with the iPhone). I am not satisfied and all is not well. I am still experimenting and trying to regain all functionality.

  • [iPhone] iTunes always asking app authorization

    Hello everybody !
    I have a trouble with my iPhone 3G and my Windows Vista SP1 (latest iTunes). Due to a software problem, I had to FULLY restore my iPhone (so I reinstalled iPhone OS, and I used the factory restore), and now everytime I sync my iPhone iTunes tells me that "this computer is not allowed anymore to use the apps...", so I need to be ALWAYS connected to Internet to sync, and when I allow the computer, as usual it tells me that computer is already allowed.
    I tried to reset all the authorizations (3 out of 5), but I can't since there is not 5 out 5 authorizations.
    Any help ?? Thanks !
