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.

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:

Dear All,
I tried succesfully to sync my I tunes with my HP Laptop with the Windows Vista Ultimate OS 64 bit not 32-bit version.Has anyone been able to sync it succesfully?
If not does anyone know of a patch or when apple is going to come up with a version of Itunes that would take care of this incompatibility?

Installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit on Bootcamp issue

Hi I'm a newbie, I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit using boot camp. I went into boot camp to partition and split the 1 terabyte hardrive. half is for Leopard, the other half is for Windows Vista.
I followed the steps and popped in the disk, awhile later I get a message saying "Where do you want to install Windows?"
It's showing:
Disk 0 Partition 1 200 mb primary
Disk 0 Partition 2 466 gb Primary
Disk 0 unallocated space 128 mb
Disk 0 partition 3 Boot camp 464 gb Primary.
which ever one I click on it says "Windows Cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS"
I can't get passed this part, what do I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Stuart,
Vista needs its system partition to be formatted with NTFS.
The BootCamp Asistant does a pre-format with FAT32 since OSX can not write to NTFS partitions (only read).
Therefor you have to reformat the Windows partition with the Vista Installer to NTFS.
See page 11 of the BootCamp Setup Guide found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ (and it's also part of the BootCamp Assistant).

Bootcamp: Sound not working on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

Hello everyone, I've got quite an unsual problem (whell at least I think anyway). On my iMac (Mid 2008, 2.4Ghz C2D, 2GB ram, 2400XT), I recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit). I've been using the sound out of the speakers, until now when I decided to connect some extenal speakers. I have the bootcamp drivers installed (from Snow Leopard DVD). When I plugged the headphone jack into the headphone socket on the back, I noticed that the sound was still coming out of the speakers, so I opened the preferences and it showed that I had something plugged into the line-in jack- which I didn't! I removed the headphone jack from the headphone socket and plugged it into the line-in. Nothing changed in the preferences. So basically, Windows thinks the line-out port is line-in! I would appreciate some help with this issue, not sure how common it is!
Thanks :-)

Hi I'm not sure if this is going to help but have you got the service pack 1 installed on your laptop as when I installed it on my desktop the first time it caused blue screen errors and gave me loads of problems including error messages that seemed to come up with every application I opened and an annoying driver IQRL equal or less than but couldn't work out why and then in the end I had so many problems I had to totally reformat my desktop and I removed my XP scanner and webcam(both had vista drivers) and when I reinstalled the service pack 1 it was fine, so do you by any chance have anything attached to your laptop that was XP and has vista drivers as these seemed to be what was causing my errors.
Also a question about your graphic card drivers, I've got the same laptop as you and was looking for the graphic card driver updates and couldn't find them anywhere on the site, where did you find yours? I'm using Vista Home Premium 32 bit , my model number is A200-28P(PSAE6) and I'd love to know if there is a newer graphics card driver but can't find it on the knowledge base so the fact you've updated yours would you mind pointing a new user in the right direction :-)
Thanks,

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?

Firefox 26 crashes on exit in Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

It doesn't matter if I click the Red X, go under File -> Exit or type Alt + F4 to exit out of Firefox under Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. It almost always produces an error message that Firefox has stopped working.
I can't find how to post a JPEG Screenshot of the error message here.
This doesn't occur under Windows XP Pro.
Otherwise, the browser works fine under either OS.

Here's the screenshot(s). I had to take 2 because the lower portion of the error message that lists the details won't expand.

ITunes 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I have a relatively new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have not moved the "Music Folder" to a new location. I have moved the "My Documents" folder to a new location tho. Inside of the "My Documents" folder, I see folders named "My Albums" and "Music Lyrics", but no "Music" or "My Music".
After installing the 64-bit version of iTunes, I get the following error.
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required.
The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
I have researched and seen many references to this error and Windows XP, but nothing for Windows 7.
Ideas?

Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

Windows Firewall is on.
iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
We'd better check on that, kris. If you enable iTunes in your Windows firewall, does that help with your connection? See the following document for instructions:

EDIT: Drat ... gave you the link to the wrong document. Try this one instead for your Vista:

Cannot install iTunes in windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

My system is: Custom built AMD Phenom Quad-core processor 2.50GHz 16.0gb memory 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS
I have tried the newest version of iTunes and the one just prior, same problem with both. I have also tried all the detailed and sometimes complex uninstall, delete, repair and reinstall procedures listed in the forums here and on other sites, cleaning registry and cleaning cookies. Deleted all apple products with three different file cleaning programs. Deleted anything even remotely related to apple products and turning off any services related to apple. I have tried installing each file independantly in a variety of suggested order giving administrator privileges to all the files. I am the system administrator with full adnimistrator privileges.
The installation response in every case is as follows;
An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu
this is shown with two options Retry which gives the same result instantly or cancel which rolls back the installation entirely.
In one instance I was able to install the 64 bit version of a fresh installed OS on another hard drive on my system. But that system is for a test bed and I have no plans to use it on a regular basis.
I have spent roughly 35 hours on this and finally had to install another program to deal with my music files but I still would like to solve this problem. This appears to be a common problem based on all the questions and complaints that I have read lately both here and elsewhere. I am not sure why apple has not adequately addressed this, at least in the newest version of iTunes

Installing iTunes with Windows Vista Ultimate

I have tried to install iTunes most recent version and others earlier with on my HP Pavillion and I keep getting a message that says I will not be able to import or burn CDs because iTunes did not install correctly. I have the *Windows Vista Ultimate* operating system. Any reason why this is happening?

Hi Innonut;
You are asking your iTune question on the Leopard forum. If you would report in the Windows iTunes Forum, you might get more response there.

i've installed iTunes on my laptop HP 6735b running under microsoft Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
after trying to use program nothing happens in reliability monitor i get "program stopped" next to iTunes and quicktime i personally think the issue is strictly related to quicktime as the same issue appears to affect it as well clean re-install does no good, compatibility mode also does not solves the issue
i've followed all guidelines from http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ -no effect
microsoft remains extremely unhelpful
i am really desperate -please advise

Am getting Routine error R6034. I can not open iTunes. Windows Vista Home 64 bit

For the first time,am getting a routine error R6034. Do not let open my iTunes, and possible lost all my contents. Why is this happening, is it nothing secure on the Internet no more even our music? Please I appreaciate any good help. I tried to redownload am stil the same message. During reinstallation.."Service Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges. Options ABORT,RETRY,OR IGNORE. That is what am getting.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

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
