ITunes: Installer is indented for a 32-bit version of windows. Please obtain a 64 bit installer

I get this error message when installing the itunes64Setup.
Installer is indented for a 32-bit version of windows. Please obtain a 64 bit installer from www.apple.com/support.
Originally ,I copied my old 32bit files from Vista to a new windows 7 machine and then I tried to reinstall iTunes and got the error message.
In addition, i tried to uninstall iTunes and it will not uninstall. Then I tried to clean it off manually and reinstall it. I still get the same message Installer is indented for a 32-bit version.
Any suggestions.

64bit architecture is a bit tricky, particularly when it comes to hardware. While I'm fairly sure Apple (like a lot of other companies) will work to support this in the future, the fact is that folks running 64bit right now are in a huge minority (less than 1/10 of a percent) and it's impossible to support everybody.
There are probably about 10 times the number of folks running some version of Linux on their PCs (we're not talking Macs here right now) and yet they can't use the iPhone or a whole lot of other things. It's just the way of thw world -- pick something that isn't mainstream and you pay for being on the bleeding edge.
It will catch up to you -- patience is indeed the key.

I have downloaded itunes 10.5.2 for my 64-bit windows7 and it wont install. It is the 64 bit installer of itunes. Iv'e tried redownloading it twice.
It starts the install but when the installation goes to copy over program files it hit an error that says "program is not configured". Any ideas?

All fixed!!! My Aperture wasn't being recognized because it was in a folder. OK, now I can use my camera with Aperture.

ITunes 10.6.3 for Win7 64 bit does not work for iPad apps

I have downloaded and installed iTunes 10.6.3 64 bit for Window 7 four times - and re-installed 3 times. When it asks if I would like to repair, I way yes. This does not correct the problem. I have an iPad 2 w/ 3G and Wi-Fi.
My problem is that while the iTunes on my Windows PC (running Windows 7 Professional, w/Service Pack 1 - 64-bit) will start, and will show my iPad when the iPad is connected, when I click on the iPad listing, and then on the Apps tab - this feature is basically unusable. This screen shows the basic Home Screen - with all icons dimmed, and then smaller versions along the right side of the basic home screen and my 2 others I've created.
1. All of the home screens shown - and all icons - are dimmed.
2. There is no list of apps along the left side.
3. Clicking on any of the home screens or on any of the icons does nothing.
Therefore I'm not able to choose any apps to sync from the iPad to the PC - nor am I able to re-position any of the apps from one screen to another.
4. Clicking on the Sync Apps button on top left - says "All existing apps and their data on the iPad will be replaced with apps from this (the PC's) iTunes Library. In other words, the only thing I can do is sync from my PC to the iPad - thereby wiping out any new apps on the iPad.
5. Clicking on the Sync button in the lower left does nothing.
So basically, there is no syncing from my iPad to the PC -- period.
HELP!!!
(Oh - also when I connect my iPad, it says there is an update to the 5.1 operating system and would I like to update, but when I say Yes, it warns that I have purchased software on the iPad that has not yet been transferred to iTunes and I should do that first. But of course, since I can't sync, I can't do that first.)

I've also got a similar problem. I upgraded yesterday & today I find (mainly with previously purchased tracks) that iTunes only playes about 51sec of a track. The whole track plays when using "Quicktime" but this doesn't help me when I'm trying to put together a playlist.
Can anyone out the help?

How to use Internet Explorer 11 64 bits rather than the 32 bit version, on Windows 7 familial premium 64 bit

Hi,
my system : up to date computer, W7 familial premium (64 bit), Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit)
I use this computer on the web to visit just one website, always the same and several hours a day ; this site advocate the use of Internet Explorer 64 bits for more efficiency.
How can I get to install, or switch to the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, as presently when I try to install a downloaded version, I get as an answer something like "installation not possible because the more up to date version of Internet Explorer
is already installed on your computer". Thanks

Hi,
On a 64-bit version of Windows, please click system drive, there should be a “Program Files” and “program Files x86”,
the "Program Files" folder is for 64-bit programs and the "Program Files (x86)" folder is for 32-bit programs, you will find IE11 64 bit has already installed in you system in “Program Files”>”Internet explorer”.
Regards,

When installing itunes 10.5.1 for win 7 64 bit get message that installer is 32 bit.

Atempted to install itunes 10.5.1 for Win 7 64 bit. Receive dialog box that the installer is 32 bit. Points me to an address in Apple for Bonjour Print Services for Windows. After clickin on OK the install proceeds but Itunes will not start.
Itunes has also reformated the library so an older version of itunes can nolonger read the file.

I got the same message about the network resource that I can't access. The only difference is that I couldn't install Itunes 10.3 because I can't remove the old version of Bonjour. I couldn't get rid of anything in add/remove programs, but I went into my program folders and deleted everything that had to do with Itunes. I also ran a Windows Cleanup Utiltiy. Nothing will work. I still can't remove Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, MobileMe Control Panel, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Apple Software Update in add/remove programs because they are on a network resource that I can't access even though I deleted them from the program folders. This is very frustrating!

Doublechecking. What's the filename of the installer you've been downloading? (The 32-bit installer is called iTunesSetup.exe, and the 64-bit installer is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)

This ipod 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'm not sure if the error message is related but smart friend was using my computer started deleting Quicktime & Safari and told me that they shouldn't be on my computer as they are not windows product & I can't use them on my laptop. With trepidation but acknowledging I don't know any of the stuff they were talking about, I allowed them to raid my laptop thinking it could be for the best. Now I'm not sure if it is related or not but depsite me having the most recent Itunes updates on both my Ipod 4TH GT, I am getting the following message everytime I connect my Ipod to the computer...and the timing would be about right too:
this ipod 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.
If it helps I am running the 10.7.0.21 on the Sony Vaio & remember checking last week I do have the latest update on the Ipod but it is a different version from the Itunes on the laptop (which may be normal, I wouldn't know) but as I am away from home & Wifi I can't tell u the version on that though.
My problem is I cannot find an apple installer on the laptop to uninstall & I have searched Apple & Google for help and have seen others posts with the same issue but alot of the answers unfortunately I can't follow. I would greatly appreciate it if you can you answer any of these questions for me?
*Will add & remove totally uninstall Itunes so that I can reinstall?
*Will I lose my apps, music & data?
*If the apps, music & data is recoverable, how do I do that?
Sadly I can't find the installer & would love to add my new Mumford & Sons cd to my Ipod collection but don't know how to fix this. I love my Ipod & google but I have spent hours tryign updates, downloads, searches & feedback to Apple. A few months ago I had an Itunes billing problem & there was a webpage where you could email an apple support worker & rhe replied to my credit card problem within a day or 2 but I can't find that help for this problem..I couldn't express my graditude enough if you could help me with this, but thank you.

This "smart friend" really sounds like a collosal moron.
Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 to remove and reinstall all Apple products on your computer.
Once you get everything working, the next time your "smart friend" wants to touch your computer, tell them firmly NOT A CHANCE IN ****!
None of your data (media, podcasts, apps) will be affected by removing and reinstalling iTunes.

Itunes 10.6.3 for Win 7 64 bit

Downloaded itunes 10.6.3 for Windows 7 64-bit. After (re)installing, I still can't open the itunes program. I've tried uninstall/install 3 different times. Same results.

Did all that and still nothing, I have:
I installed/uninstalled numerous times for itunes and quicktime.
Deleted the SC files
Ran repair on both itunes and quicktime.
Checked microsoft fixit.
Shut down or restarted multiple times throughout this process.
iTunes still appears to be running the 32bit version even though the installer is called the 64bit version. I only see the process for itunes when attempting to run in safe mode ctrl+shift and the message box pops up. There has only ever been one account on this computer but I make sure to show all processes when looking for itunes.

Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
Marilyn

Hey there Marylin,
It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:

This iPad 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 seen others post this same question but the answers provided does not resolve my problem. My iPad Air is running iOS 7.1.2. I have been using this same computer for three years. It has Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1, 64-bit Operating System, Intel 3.4GHZ computer and 16.0 GB . I used this same computer with my iPad2 for several years. I purchased an iPad Air a year ago. I never had a problem with either iPad using iTunes. About a week ago, my computer would no longer recognize the iPad Air. I thought it must be a driver problem or iTunes somehow became corrupted. I uninstalled all of the Apple products except for iCloud and deleted any Apple software left in my Program Files and Program Files (x86). I then downloaded from Apple, iTunes64Setup.exe which is a 110,833 KB program. I installed the program without a problem. It installed Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support and iTunes. These programs I had previously uninstalled. I then brought up iTunes. I now plugged in my iPad Air and a popup message appeared "This iPad 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". OK, I did as instructed. I used the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then ran iTunes64Setup.exe. I brought up iTunes and got the same message. "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is nt installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes" In general, I have found the Apple software to be robust and reliable. This situation however is very disappointing. I am hoping that someone has an answer that I can use to resolve my problem.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

Everytime I connect my iPod to USB, iTunes says the following: This iPod 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 the latest 64-bit version of iTunes on Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything was fine until recently. Now when I connect my iPod Touch to the USB to sync with iTunes, I get the following message: "This iPod 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 removed, repaired, and installed the 64-bit version numerous times as well as disabled all antivirus / adware utilities. Same message appears when I plug in my iPod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using these instructions:
