ITunes 9 64-bit for Windows, but not Snow Leopard?

So I installed iTunes 9 on my MBP running Snow Leopard, and when I go into Activity Monitor, under the CPU tab, in the "kind" column it clearly singles out iTunes as the ONLY app not running in 64-bit. Now doing a brief search the only discussion of a 64-bit app seems to be a Windows vers. No way would APPLE write a 64-bit vers for windows w/o writing one for their own OS, RIGHT!?!?! I installed iTunes using "Software Update" under the apple menu. I assume it would give me the best option (64 bit vs 32 bit) if there were in fact 2 versions available for Mac. I am confused, can someone clear this up?

Mark, it's not just you! I followed the instructions at http://yukichigai.googlepages.com/iphonex64 with several previous upgrades, which worked like a charm except for a near-bricking scare at the last firmware upgrade that I was able to fix with my husband's 32-bit system. last night, I got this exact error as well. I really don't want to have to move my library to our 32-bit machine and kick my hubby off every time I need to sync, but if there's no workaround, that may be what I have to do. I don't know if I'm angrier at apple for not making clear on the iphone box or documentation this issue with XP64 and not going to the bother of making itunes play nicely, microsoft for creating this version of XP. or the person who built my PC who extolled the virtues of XP64 in the first place. thank goodness I have another computer, or I'd REALLY be SOL.

    With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up.  If not, you are having a sync problem.  If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

  • ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 127) after installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows

    After installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows (latest build), I get an error pop-up saying:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I've gone thru the uninstall, reboot and reinstall process three or four times now. Still nothing.
    Furthermore, after clicking okay to the error, it continues to pop up on it's own every 45 seconds or so.
    There was one other error I came across after trying to launch iTunes after installation.
    See both error messages here:
    http://screencast.com/t/DSg4PpKF5BeX

    Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
    I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
    But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
    It should have been added to their page at 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    by now, why hasn't it???
    It's not good enough!
    Re:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls]
    "C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe"=dword:80000000
    AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted.  So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
    Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above.  NO REBOOT
    Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe

  • ICloud available for Windows Vista, but not Snow Leopard???

    I have Multipal Macs with the Core Duo chipset that can not run LION and no $$$$ to upgrade hardware right now. 
    WHY does Windows VISTA get iCloud suport but I who can't upgrade to LION do not?
    I understand leaving out Leaopard, but SNOW too?

    With the removal of Rosetta in Lion and the requirement for Lion in order to use iCloud Macs are no longer an option for poeple that need to be able to run older applications.
    Many places bought Macs because they could run just about anything, Windows, Linux, PPC software, even Classic applications via Sheepshaver.
    The big issue is the loss of being able to run PPC applications. Freehand, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Quicken to name just a few applications that will never be ported. People and businesses have huge amounts of documents in these formats. It's not stuff that is used regularly but it is files that need to be accessed and sometimes modified.
    All these applications can run on a modern Windows machine as can iCloud but not on a Mac running Lion.
    While I'm complaining... I setup a bunch of Macs, iOS devices and some PCs all on iCloud today. The loss of email account syncing meant I had to spend hours setting up email on each machine ( each device had just under a dozen accounts on it)  instead of just one machine and having it propagate to all the other devices. Going to be real fun trying to keep email rules in sync on all the Macs.

  • 64-bit for Vista, but not XP

    Why is it that Apple is prepared to write a 64-bit version of iTunes, good on them, but not for XP?

    Dave Sawyer wrote:
    Sorry, but we're all just your fellow users here and have no special insight into the marketing or engineering decisions that may have lead to there not being a version of iTunes for 64-bit XP.
    I would venture to say that the 64 bit version of Windows XP was not as widely deployed as its 32 bit cousins and with Vista - there isn't any real incentive to port it over.

  • Where do I download iTunes 32 bit for Windows XP?

    Hi there
    The quick links on the iTunes download page for alternative versions are not available anymore. The website auto detects my OS, which is 64 bit, but I need to download the 32 bit version for another computer (which is not connected to the internet) running Windows XP 32 bit.
    I've searched the internet, these forums and tried the support features on this site, but to no avail.
    Thanks

  • ITunes 10.5 for Windows 7 not connecting to iTunes store.

    I updated to iTunes 10.5 today hoping that Apple fixed the connection problems which came with previous versions of iTunes for Windows. Unfortunately I was wrong. After installing 10.5, I cannot connect to the iTunes store...again. The progress bar at the top locks (along with the message "Accessing iTunes Store") and after 30 seconds all I get is a blank page. This is exactly what has happed in the last couple of versions of iTunes for Windows. I tried some of the 'netsh' fixes seen on other posts and this did not solve the issue. I also tried unistalling the specific AppleApplicationSupport software (in this case 2.1.5) and re-installing the 1.5.2 version (which fixed the connection problems on the previous version of iTunes) as seen on other posts but doing this will not work either. Any suggestions out there?

    since other people aren't having this same issue you need to try troubleshooting your own machine and network connections to fix this, it's most likely not due to apple software.
    Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
    Useful information for configuring your security software:
    IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
              ▪          port 80
              ▪          port 443
              ▪          phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
    iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
              ▪          evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
              ▪          evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
    For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
    Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
    If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
    To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
    Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
    If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
    To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

  • ITunes 64-bit for Windows 7; can I downgrade or remove upgrade?

    iTunes is crashing every time I attempt to either add music files to my library or sync my iPhone.  I've seen repeated complaints of this problem, but have found no solutions that work.  Does anyone know if I can remove the latest update (I'm running version 10.5.3.3).  [I think it's iTunes 64-bit -- my computer is running Windows 7 64-bit...]   I'm more interested in syncing my devices than trying to fix the current version of the software.   Thanks.  Monica

  • ITunes (64-bit) for Windows 7

  • Itunes 11.3 for windows will not delete podcasts.

    Using itunes 11.3.8.54 will not honor the delete menu item for deleting podcasts.  Podcasts are also not being deleted when the number exceeds the maximum retention.

    In order to delete the podcast, start playing another track first. Sounds like the same bug that affects TV shows. The currently selected show will not go to the recycle bin, though it will disappear from the iTunes library. It's as if iTunes tries to move the file to the RB but Windows says, "No, that file is in use."
    I discovered this bug after my laptop hard drive ran out of room because none of the TiVo2Go shows I'd been watching for weeks had truly been deleted by iTunes when I asked it to. All the files remained on the hard drive.

  • Javascript works on Safari for Windows but not on Safari for Mac (2.0.4)

    One part of our mail's web-based interface is not working properly when I use Safari on Mac (2.0.4). However, it works on Safari for Windows and Firefox. I browsed through a lot of the forum entrees with java/javascript on the subject and it seems that java processing is a common problem. I have checked all the necessary settings suggested on the forums but it still does not work.
    We tried using the new Safari on another machine and it works. However, I also see lots of forum entrees asking how to uninstall Safari 3!
    I also have a window on the open-source SugarCRM not working properly on Safari 2.0.4. Any fix coming?

    I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

  • Itunes 64 bit for Windows

    So I have downloaded iTunes on my kids windows boxes and it won't connect to the store.  I have flushed it, checked the firewall etc and still no joy.  The diagnostics says I am not logged in as administrator which I am, it also says that itunes is right with Jesus in the firewall setting which it is.  very odd that so many settings are not recognized.
    Help would be nice

    Hi!
    I'm having the same problem (except I don't run Norton) - I also have Vista and have tried to upgrade to 8.1.1 and everytime it gives me an error message and says I need to do a repair by going into tools and so on. I tried to follow the directions to repair and ended up losing my Library and friend had to retrieve for me (what a pain). Anyone have any answers other than not upgrade?

  • ICloud for Windows, but not for Mac?

    How is it possible that iCloud is working on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, but not on Snow Leopard?
    I am unable to upgrade to Lion due to CPU limitation.
    Are we Snow Leopard users suppose to accept this?

    Yes but if it did, I assume those of us that have upgraded to Lion would be missing features because of backwards compatability, which wouldn't be right.
