No possibility of installing iTunes on XP64

Is this true? I just tried to install iTunes for the new iPod my daughter got for Christmas. The regular installer told me I need to use the 64 bit installer. OK, I went and found the 64 bit installer. That one tells me it's only for Vista 64 or Windows 7.
Tech support basically told me that I'm out of luck. They don't have an installer for Windows XP 64 bit. Can you be serious? They didn't offer to help me with any kind of work-around. I'm definitely not a happy Apple consumer on this Christmas eve.

Yes it's true. There never was an iTunes for XP64.
Some people have had varied success in getting it installed.
Search in these forums or Google iTunes XP64.

Is it possible to install iTunes on Windows 8?

Is it possible to install iTunes on Windows 8?

I tried everything to install itunes 64 bit to window 8,
Running the itunes64setup.exe as an administrator or changing the compatibility to windows 7 or vista didn't work for me.
The trick is itunes64setup.exe can be "exracted" with winrar or winzip or similar programs.
But my windows 8 laptop "can not execute" it so my husband exract the itunes64setup.exe file for me on his computer.
The folder contains 6 files.
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour64.msi
iTunes64.msi
SetupAdmin.exe
You can try to install them one by one and see if it is working for you.

If I try 64-bit the answer is you need vista or 7

Is it possible to install iTunes WHITHOUT installing quicktime ? because...

...I already have installed QuickTime Lite on my Windows XP Pro SP3 PC and I want to keep iTunes installation as lean as possible.
Thanks

I have no idea what Quicktime Lite is so I can't speak to that.
It's a third-party chop-down of QuickTime, Meg, made by the same Codecs-Guide folk who made QuickTime Alternative, and still make the K-Lite codec packs. Roughly speaking, it's QuickTime componentry without a QuickTime Player, for folks who want to be able to play QuickTime content in their web browsers or, say, Media Player Classic, without having to install "QuickTime itself".
There's less of a "leaness" advantage to using QuickTime Lite or QuickTime Alternative nowadays with iTunes, instead of a standard Apple-supplied QuickTime, because QuickTime and iTunes both share a lot of program files via Apple Application Support. The last time I checked a QT Alternative installation, all the Apple Application Support componentry had been stashed in the QT Alternative program files. So the iTunes/QT-alternative combination "doubles up" all that componentry in Apple Application Support, even though it doen't include some of the Player componentry.
Also, as of 15 July 2010 Codecs Guide seem not to be supporting either QuickTime Lite or QT Alternative anymore:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_Alternative
... so, you're likely to run into troubles if your iTunes version needs a higher version of QuickTime componentry than the ones in your current QT Lite. (Codecs Guide used to be really good about updating their QT Alternative componentry when a new version of iTunes came through ... if they aren't maintaining it any more, I'd be a bit worried about staying up to date with it.)
So I'd uninstall QT Lite and go with the standard QuickTime if you're going to be installing iTunes, nowadays.

Windows ME - Is it possible to install Itunes?

Received a nano over a year ago. Cannot install it as my computer is old and has Windows ME. Is there anything I can do short of updating my Windows?

iTunes for Windows was first introduced for Windows 2000 so there isn't a version that works natively with either 98 or ME. You could have a look at XPlay, Anapod or Ephpod which will work with Windows 98/ME. However XPLay and Anapod are commercial programs so you might consider it worth the extra expense to upgrade to XP (which you may find at a discount price now that Vista is out) if your computer will run it. Staying with 98/ME, you may also require drivers, there is a link in the Anapod page to suitable iPod/USB drivers:
XPlay 2
Anapod Explorer Windows 98/ME Support

Can I install iTunes on a virtual drive

wondering is it possible to install iTunes on a virtual hard drive, not a USB device of any? The music library is huge and I'd like to try to conserve space on the hard drive.
Thanks!
Message was edited by: CoolFinalFan

Your virtual drive still needs a physical drive to live on. You can move your iTunes library to any drive big enough to hold it, e.g. an additional internal drive, an external drive, a network share, it's up to you. What you can't do is put a quart into a pint pot.

Installing iTunes onto Windows RT 8.1

Hi
Is is possible to install itunes onto Windows RT 8.1 (Microsoft Surface Device)
I have tried downloading the latest versions of both the normal and x64 editions but both come up with "this app cant run on your pc"
I have also tried running as an administrator but doesnt help.
Any ideas or is it just not compatible with RT?
Thanks

RT is a watered-down version of 8 that only runs apps designed for it (like apps running on iOS). Only full windows 8 can run iTunes.

Re-installing iTunes after operating system upgrade

Hi,
Just recently I upgraded my PC form WindowsXP to Windoes7, 64bit.
I had iTunes on my main drive, so that is gone and I want to re-install iTunes, or install the latest version of it.
I still have my old iTunes music library on another hard-drive, so I was wondering if it's possible to install iTunes and link it to my old library, that way I would not have to rip all my CD's again.
Does anybody know if this is possible at all, or do I really have to start all over again putting my CD's into a new iTunes library?
Thanks,
Lars

What exactly is on your 2nd HD? Is it the entire itunes folder (which contains your itunes database files) or is it just the itunes content folders (music, videos, podcasts, etc)?
The itunes database file is named iTunes Library.itl
If that is on your 2nd HD, then do a shift-start of itunes and select it.
By that I mean, press AND HOLD the shift key. Keep pressing until you see hte prompt to choose an existing library.
If you do not have your old database file, you will need to open Windows Explorer to the 2nd HD, and drag & drop the itunes folder into the itunes screen. Drop it on the word LIBRARY.

Is it possible to install 6 and 7 at the same time?

Regardin this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1308255
I'd like to try to install 7 again, but I want to keep 6 going in case 7 still won't work. Is that possible?

Installing iTunes 7 will uninstall iTunes 6 so you can't have the two version working together.
However you can get old versions of iTunes from FileHippo, so you could remove iTunes 7 and put back 6.
http://filehippo.com/download_itunes/
If you are thinking of doing this make sure you make a copy of iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml which are in the iTunes folder - the libraries are not backward compatible. iTunes should be closed when you do this.
Although a backup copy of the library should be made when you upgrade, it is best to be safe.

Hello,
Just wanted to make sure you've also restarted the computer, in addition to restarting the iPod touch. For the time being, try to connect the iPod with the USB cable that came with it, and make sure it's being connected directly to the computer, and not through any external USB hubs or anything of the sort. Also, if you haven't tried this, try connecting the iPod to a different USB port.
Since installing Leopard, double check your Software Updates to make sure there's nothing else pending that you might need. (Just click on Software Update in your Apple menu).
If that hasn't worked it out, you might try reinstalling Apple Mobile Device Support, which is what allows the iPod touch to communicate with your computer and iTunes.
First, drag iTunes from your Applications folder to the Trash.
Then, delete these files:
(1) AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg located in: Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/
(2) AppleMobileDevice.kext located in: Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/
Restart your computer
Download and install iTunes again

Possible to install just the drivers and no iTunes?

I'm sure this has been asked before - and I'm sure someone would've pointed that out and told me to use Search - but I did that and all my searches about drivers brought back thousands of hits and I went through a few dozen pages but I'd die of old age before I found what I need. I just wanted to get that out of the way...
My workplace does not allow me to install iTunes on my business laptop (WinXP) for security reasons. I don't care about that, but I'd like to be able to charge my iPhone via USB. Is it possible to obtain whatever drivers I would need to do only that, without iTunes installed?

your phone will charge in just about any usb port. The only reason to have itunes of course is to back up and restore your phone if needed.
I can actually charge my phone in my Wii usb port.
You don't need to install anything just to charge your phone.

Is it possible to use iPod as external disk without installing iTunes?

I was wondering this because I would like to be able to use my iPod as an external hard drive at school. I cant install iTunes on their computers without administrator rights. I just want to know if I can connect it without having to go through iTunes to saftly disconnect.

Assuming you can use the iPod with iTunes at home, connect it to iTunes and change the setting to manual transfer. This automatically enables disk use.
Your iPod should then show up on any other computer as a hard disk without the need to install iTunes.
You can eject the iPod after use with the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
