ITunes issues with Windows 7 64 bit

SO i upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and I see 10s of thousands of posts lamenting the fact that iTunes does not work with Wondows 7 64 bit.  This is an Apple issue not a Microsoft issue.  I expect more from Apple.  I am now hostage to the many many $$ and time I've invested in Apple TV and programs, iTunes music, etc. . .  Apple has dropped the ball and I want to know when they will fix this debacle?

Did you download the 64bit version of iTunes? I have Win7 Pro 64 bit and iTunes works on my pc. Just keep in mind that when you upgrade your OS, that doesn't mean that your programs automatically switch to 64 bit too, you may need to do a lot of re-installing of some of your programs

  • What version of itunes works with windows 7 64 bit

    What version of itunes works with windows 7 64 bit?  Must I use a beta version of cloud?  I generally don't want to use beta versions of software.

    It should work (many, many people have it working fine) though Windows7 was officially released only 2 days ago and iTunes has not had an update since then.

  • Is itunes compatible with windows 7 64-bit

    Is iTunes cmpatible with Windows 7 64-bit?  I just had to get new computer and got rid of Vista.

    Apple has JUST RELEASED a version of iTunes that is compatible with Win7 64 bit!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Go to Apple.com, select download for iTunes, When you select the Win OS you'll see a message in tiny blue print that there's a special download for Win7 64, click on that, then download.  I had to disable the Windows Firewall to get the download.  I run AVG as my protection system.
    I have Win7 64 and have been having compatibility problems for the past few weeks after recent automatic Win7 updates and the iTunes 10 upgrade.  I am still having freeze problems but not as bad.

  • Library issues with Windows 7 (64 Bit)

    I have just upgraded to a new computer and have had enormous issues with I tunes 64 bit for Windows 7. I had my music on another disc which I have mounted into the new computer. It is the same drive name (D) as on my old computer (Windows XP 32 bit). I Tunes finds my libray and I can see all my songs. However, 1. All of my existing artwork is missing.
    2. When I try to play any song it says file not found?
    I have authorised the new PC, but still no joy.

  • Labview 2012 Installer builder issues with Windows 7 64 bit

    I have a clients project application program I am working on and am having a lot of trouble getting installed applications to work on Windows 7 properly. The Labview Installer sets the default installation directory to "c:\Program Files\" on Windows Xp and on Windows 7 64bit this defaults to "C:\Program Files (x86). When I install the application on Windows 7 and run it, because Windows 7 64 bit unreasonably protects this directory and every folder under it, if you try to write file to any subdirectory under it (like a reports directory), windows 7 will not let the file write to the directory and the file(s) disappear and you get permission errors. This has been difficult to address. Even logging in as administrator, I have difficulty changing the folder permissions. In addition, when I am in the file write process, if the default directory is coded to come up in the file Open/Save dialog, will not properly
    go to and display these protected directories. So thinking that OK, I'll just chage the install directory to something direct to the C: drive and not the Program Files (x86) directory, so I have better control of the folder permissions. Now the Installer build gives errors. It built, but the install fails. Looks like National did not test this for Windows 7 very well. I have run into just about every issue possible with Windows 7 and Labview. Clearly Labview was not very well tested with Windows 7 6 bit. I do not have the Internet toolkit added to the application, only the VISA 5.2 driver. Anyone else having application issues with Labview and Windows 7 and have ideas how to work around this??

    It's no NI's fault and has nothing to do with 64 Bit either. It is something MS changed starting with Vista, namely tightening security of the whole system to a similar level as was usual on more professional OSes like Unix 20 years earlier. A user has not rights anymore to write into the location where applications are installed. This is for one reason to protect installed applications from being modified by malicious code.
    Instead every application should write its runtime data in one of the user writable loacations such as the user's Documents directory for data files, or in the user's or the machine's configuration directory for configuration settings. For single installations you could always set the directory which your application got installed into to be user writable by changing the rights of that directory afterwards but for applications that get installed on normal user computers this is a VERY hacky and discouraged move. Same about installing your application into the root of your system drive. I think it was an oversight by MS to not protect that directory too from user modifications, but was most likely unavoidable to allow DOS application installations to still work.
    LabVIEW has functions to retrieve a whole bunch of those preconfigured and user writeable locations and you really should change your application to make use of those locations, instead of trying to write into the installation directory or installing the application into the root location of the system drive, if you want to be compatible with Windows Vista/7/8.
    Windows 7 also requires for a number of actions such as installing programs or drivers so called elevated rights. This means that even if you are logged in as administrator you have to explicitedly provide the admin password again to be able to perform the action. This can be done by starting the program as administrator, when this is available in the right click pop-up menu, and is also sometimes done automatically for applications that Windows determines to need those rights such as setup programs for installations.

  • Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

    I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

    I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
    I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
    I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
    How?
    Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
    Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
    Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
    Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
    Click "Apply" and "OK".
    Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
    Hope I helped!

  • ITunes and iPhone 4 sync issues with Windows 7 64 bit

    I am getting several errors with sync'ing iTunes to my iPhone on windows7 64bit. I reinstalled iTunes, I did a repair on iTunes, even tried a RESTORE on iPhone, but it gives me so many errors one after another after another.
    1. Some of the items were NOT copied to iPhone "iPhone" because one ore more errors occured.
    2. Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. An internal device error occured.
    3. The iPhone "iPhone" can NOT be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
    4. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. The required file can not be found.
    5. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
    6. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. An internal device error occured.
    These errors keep appearing one after the other.
    I have fully uninstalled iTunes and ALL Apple programs from my PC, rebooted, disabled antivirus/firewall software, etc.
    I have tried changing time zones.
    I have created a new user account on same laptop and still have same issues with iTunes.
    Restore fails with error "Unable to read file or file is corrupt".
    Yet iTunes works fine on a 32bit operating system of Windows 7.
    The problem is that I upgraded my laptop and the new laptop is Win7 64bit. I have ALL the newest drivers, and I checked to ensure it was not a BIOS or CHIPSET driver causing issues. All windows updates are up to date and current.
    I have been trying for over a week with every piece of trouble shooting I can find to make this work.
    Any help or further information would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
    Thanks in Advance

    I too am having the exact same issues on the same laptop! I spent an hour last night with "supervisor" in tech support who didn't solve my problem but did close the ticket (210757099 for any Apple people that might read this). Thanks a lot Ben!
    I have seven ipod/iphone/ipad devices so I am very familiar with how to sync. In the last few weeks, version 10.2 of iTunes (I'm up to 10.2.1.1) has gotten less and less reliable in successfully sync'ing to the devices. It started out with my 3GS, but my iPhone 4 was fine. Then I got an iPad2 and now NOTHING will sync properly. Every time I plug one in (or press the sync button) it wants to do a restore from the backup made the last time it sync'd. It does that, reboots the device and sync's.
    I've gotten a ton of errors, here's a sample.
    iBooks couldn't be installed on my iPhone unknown error 0xE800000C
    Textie couldn't be installed on my iPhone, unknown error 0xE8000013
    "failed required file not found" - This is one of my favorite error messages. It demonstrates how Apple is becoming like Microsoft. It is 100% accurate and totally useless. It would be helpful if it told me the NAME of the file that was not found...
    unknown error 0xE8004006
    "duplicate file found" - Again, in true Microsoft form, it didn't tell me the NAME of the file that was duplicated.
    I tried everything discussed in the following thread but it did not work.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2401822
    Stopping the enhanced USB controller didn't work. Mine is the Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller (version 9.1.1.1020).
    A few days ago I got hundreds of errors in a sync. When it completed, a dialogbox came up asking if I wanted to send this crash report to Apple, I said yes. So, crash reports are now automatically being sent. You can see evidence of this in the %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs directory.
    This section of the log looked interesting because it says it couldn't connect to USB mux port 32498

  • ITunes sync issues with Windows 7 64k Bit

    I am beyond frustrated! I have attempted for the past 3 days straight to figure out why iTunes keeps having syncing issues with all my devices- Nano 8GB, Touch 8GB, iPhone 3G 8GB. When I first connected the devices for the first time iTunes froze up and I had to hard boot. I then had to "restore" the devices as they were messed up. Since then I have had syncing issues. It says it is syncing but then it stops and freezes before it is finished and is unresponsive requiring me to end the program. Then my computer does not recognize the iPod is connected so I have to reboot my computer and it all starts over again. I'm not trying to sync a million song, 600 songs less than 2Gig.
    Called Apple, they had me uninstall iTunes 9 and reload it. That did not fix the problem. Called back and they told me to go to the Apple store and have them check my devices (they did not as they said they were pretty sure it was not iTunes or my devices) that it was probably Windows 7. MS points the finger at iTunes 9, Apple points the finger at Windows 7... all the while me (the customer) has no resolution. I don't care what the issue is... I would just like to figure out how to fix it (if it's my computer fine...I'll take it in to have it fixed) but I just cant get anyone to help figure out what/where the issue is.
    I have tried many of the "tricks" that are posted when you google the issue.. ie reinstall drivers etc. The "Genius" at the Apple store searchd and found something that said it might be my motherboard needing an updated driver (I updated that and nothing changed).
    Would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help
    Thanks!

  • Itunes problems with windows 7 64 bit

    Hi, i have searched and searched for a solution to my on going problems with itunes on my windows 7 64bit computer.
    it started with my backups not being saved when i sync, then any music i add seems to play strangely i.e skips and plays the start of the song in the middle.
    updating last sunday to the new iphone os (4.3) was also a disaster, having to try a number of times over 2-3 days as the downloads just seemed to hang and not do anything. At the end on around my 10th try it downloaded and updated in around 15 mins.
    I now find myself when i connect to itunes more often than not having to manually delete corupt backups until i get a succesful one as sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.
    I tryed a vista computer a friend has and everything worked perfectly!
    songs, backups the lot!!
    So it clearly seems like a problems between windows 7 64bit and iphone 4.
    can anyone please shed some light on these issues??????
    Many thanks, gaggie...

    I am not sure that I can help with this, but I have seen an instance where continuous backup software cased playback problems.
    Also are you using any Norton products?

  • ITunes issues with Windows XP - crazy error message

    I've been using iTunes with XP and have no issues for years now. Today, when I went to open iTunes I received a message that Windows was configuring iTunes for installation. I am unable to complete installation and I receive this message..."Error writing to file C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesResources\pl.lproj\DevicePrefsPodcasts.nib\objects.xib.
    Verify that you have access to that directory
    Anybody have any idea what this is about, thanks.
    When I cancel out I get a Problem with Shortcut box, Fatal error occurred during installation!

    One more question though under Program Files-iTunes, I have multiple iTunes folders, labeled iTunes(2) and iTunes(4). Should I delete these or leave them alone?
    I don't think they're any immediate cause for alarm if they're what I think they are ... have you done some system restores on that PC at some stage, Matt? If a system restore is done to a restore point "over the top" of an installation or upgrade of a program, sometimes the system restore will put program files dating back to the previous version back on the PC. By design, it doesn't want to overwirte existing files on the PC, so it renames the top-most folder containing the files it has put back "<Program name> (2)" or "<Program name> (3)" if there's already a "(2)" and so on.
    (Because the installation database for the program doesn't realise that there are any such files in folders "<Program name> (2)" etc files on the PC, they generally don't get removed in the course of regular subsequent updates or uninstall/reinstalls of the program and they stay lurking around on the PC ... it's actually precisely the same phenomenon that we just exploited in order to convince the iTunes repair install to go through ...)
