iTunes is not supported on any of the 64-bit versions of Windows, so you will not be able to get any official assistance from Apple (and they don't provide any technical support in the Discussions anyway; these forums are, with rare exceptions, user-to-user only). You can search the forum for "64-bit" and see what people are suggesting in other threads. One suggestion I've seen is that you need the 64 bit Gear drivers. You can download them from here:

Itunes 7.4.1.2 - Vista 64 bit - unable to import or burn cd

Hello.
Last night I installed Itunes 7.4 on my vista 64 bit box and kept getting the error that ITunes had installed incorrectly and I would not be able to import or burn cds.
I then tried repairing and uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Then this morning I tried downloading and installing 7.4.1 and am still getting the same error.
The about menu tells me that the cd driver dll is unavailable.
Can anyone please help out?
Cheers,
David

CS-4 Vista 64 Bit Installation problems - "checking system profile...."

Hello All:
I know that this has been discussed in the past, but I was hoping that perhaps someone has determined a fix for the following problem.
Background: In the past, with Windows XP Professional, I never had problems with loading any Adobe products. But just last week I reluctantly upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium because it came with a new power system PC that I purchased (AMD quad-core 2.4 gHz Phenom CPU, 8 Gigs of RAM and 1 TB HD) and this is where my problems began:
Nature of problem: I loaded the latest versions of Lightroom and Adobe Elements just fine - absolutely no problems there. But when I tried to load my Photoshop CS-4 upgrade disk, it never gets past the "checking system profile" bar at the very beginning of the install process. I mean to say that you initially get the install window and when you click "install," a small window comes up which indicates "checking system profile." Then the progress indicator goes all the way to the right - around 90% to the right but then just hangs there - and I mean stays there...period. I tried this several times, eventually having to use control/ALT/Delete in each instance to get it to stop. I even let it stay there for over 6 hours - all to no avail. What I found interesting is that just about all of my older programs - even those dating back to 2001 - all installed without a problem at all.
2. Actions I took to try and correct this:
    a. Then, in my attempt to find fixes for this, I made sure to close out any background programs that were running (and Vista has a million of 'em), to include Firewall, Windows Defender, any other malware and anti-virus programs, not to mention a bunch of smaller programs that have items running in the background. Then I tried loading CS-4 again....but still no go, the "checking system profile" indicator just hangs at 90% complete. Note that at no time did the install process ever load any files at all - I checked everything to ensure this wasn't the case, otherwise I would have removed them.
    b. On my next try, I then I copied all of the files from the CD to a folder on my desktop and tried to run the program from there - still no go as the "checking system profile" window still hangs at 90% I even tried loading the program by right clicking on the exe file and installing "as administrator," but that didn't do the trick either.
    c. Then I rebooted into safe mode, trying both to load the programs first from the CD and then from the desktop folder - still no go, but in this case it told me right up front that the action was unable to be completed. I assumed this meant that in Windows Safe Mode, the installer was not available.
Help Needed: So folks, I know this has been discussed in the past, but I don't know of any fixes that are available. Can anybody help me through this process? You can also send me direct emails at: [email protected] - which means I'd get them right away.
This has been driving me up a wall because some other folks with Vista 64 Bit systems report that they had no problems with installation. Again - it never makes it to installation, but gets hung up at the "checking system profile" stage.
Argggggggg......
Thanks,

I believe you are falling victim to some known incombatibility of LR vs. PS CS4 installer. This should be covered in the knowledge base, so check there. A short way to happiness may be using the CS4 Clean Utility to remove the debris from the failed installs and unregister other Adobe installs, then install PS CS4, but since I don't use LR and never have tried this, I'm not sure if this specific case is covered.

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

Vista 64-bit + Firefox + (Netflix-required) Silverlight installation = I am now out of aspirin.

I like Firefox, and hardly ever open IE unless forced to anymore, so this was an atypical experience.
'''I've found a 'for now' workaround for this which I've included. What I'm looking for is a solution that feels less likely to go up in smoke due to some future, required update.'''
'''Situation:'''
I recently subscribed to Netflix. Netflix very specifically required Microsoft Silverlight before it would stream content to my PC.
'''Problem: '''
Silverlight updating via Firefox results in me not having Silverlight at all after clicking the Update button, etc., and running the Silverlight installer. Said installer tells me (in complete defiance of their listed System Requirements, all of which I meet) that Silverlight 5 is not compatible with my 64-bit OS. In this case that's Vista, although the message didn't specify. And it tells me this -after- it's done deleting the older version of Silverlight that I had, leaving me with no Silverlight at all. Not classy.
I found that much out pre-Netflix, the hard way, which was why I had no Silverlight installed when I subscribed and -then- found out I'd need it. I'd set up a restore point before updating Silverlight, but made the mistake of taking the 'not compatible' message at face value and didn't restore afterward. And yes, the same installer behavior happened when I tried again to reinstall Silverlight so I could use Netflix's stream-to-PC option.
'''Detailed info and a workaround which (for now?) works:'''
So at that point I bit the bullet and went to the Microsoft Silverlight update page in Internet Explorer. I got a message that Silverlight is not compatible with my OS there too, when I was at the download page (again, in spite of their system requirements page saying otherwise, and if there's an "unless it's 64-bit Vista" footnote I sure didn't find it), -but- the Silverlight updater downloaded via Internet Explorer, unlike the one downloaded through Firefox, resulted in me being able to install Silverlight anyway... but a 'stealth' older version installation, see below.
I could then watch Silverlight-required material -in Firefox- just fine once the IE-acquired version of Silverlight was installed -- as long as I never update Silverlight, or more to the point, as long as I never -have to- update Silverlight. This is not an optimal position to be in with software these days. Also, Firefox plugin update checks now show me as -still- having an outdated version, which I confirmed is the case. And if I opt to update it, see above regarding the installer deleting Silverlight and then giving me the finger and leaving me Silverlight-less.
Note: I couldn't -find- an option on Microsoft's site to get an older version via Firefox, I looked, and the downloaded-via-Firefox version of the Silverlight installer was no help at all. Meanwhile, the IE-acquired version installs an older version of Silverlight automatically without -telling me- it's an older version.... While I'm glad that it works, it makes it LOOK like IE is doing what Firefox couldn't, getting version 5 of Silverlight on Vista 64-bit, when it isn't.
Version note: According to the "Installed Version" checker on Microsoft's Silverlight update page AFTER updating via IE, and also to Firefox's Manage Add-Ons option, Silverlight 4 (4.0.60831.0) is what I end up with via the IE-downloaded installer; the current Silverlight version is 5-something. But the only reason I know this is because I went back to the update page and looked at the "version you have" entry again.
I'm happy to have any version that -works-, but concerned about what will happen when either a Windows update, a Firefox update, or something on the Netflix end, causes the yellow 'out of date' button beside Silverlight in the plugin update checker list to turn to gray and 'disabled' and stay that way.
I do realize that this issue is probably largely the result of Microsoft being, well, Microsoft -- Silverlight is required for Netflix streaming to PC, and there are issues getting Silverlight installed via a non-IE browser? Oh yeah, that doesn't make me suspicious AT ALL. Hah. But I am hoping that on the Firefox end, someone's accounting for the existence of this Silverlight-related snafu, because if I hadn't been stubborn enough to go back and try Netflix in Firefox again after all this, I still wouldn't realize I didn't HAVE to use Internet Explorer to watch Netflix content on my PC.
And if there's anything that can be done about the way things (refuse to) go when installing/updating Silverlight via Firefox, a Google search suggests I am not the only one who's had this problem or one similar to it.

Flash player 11.0.1.152 installation problem with Windows Vista 64-Bit

Hello,
I just can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - doesnt matter if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (I usually use Firefox).
The download isn't a problem, but when I start the downloaded .exe, this file just disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - besides starting a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can't try starting the installation again, until disabling the process via task manager ("Only a single instance of this application may run"). Doesn't matter if I try the download and installation with or without "McAffe Security Plus" btw - same result.
I never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 was and is no problem to install and use.
I have tried all the measures suggested in the troubleshooting section on the official site, including the advanced troubleshooting measures (uninstall old version, run as administrator, disabling software firewalls, disabling virus scanner etc.). Nothing helps.
I don't got those problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-Bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error: "Unable to find a working IR device" in Windows Vista 64-bit, Audigy 4

I have Audigy 4 Pro with the RM-500 remote that came with it.
The remote is not working in Vista 64-bit (Enterprise).
It is definitely not a hardware problem because everything works in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I dual boot into Vista, the remote doesn't control anything in Windows but the red light on the I/O external box is blinking so it's definitely receiving input.
When I run "Entertainment Center Settings", I get the error "Unable to find a working IR device" and all the options are greyed out.

_ I am having this exact same issue on vista business 32 bit. Everything else on the external box works perfectly fine, except the remote. The remote does work however with intelliremote, but I cannot justify paying the money for such simple functionality. Any fix on [email protected]

8i client installation on Vista 64 bit?

Hello all,
We are trying to install a 8.1.7 Client on the new Windows Vista 64 bit environment.
The database itself is 8.1.7, runs on a HP-UX 32-bit server, and the user clients currently have 8.1.7 client installed on Windows XP PC's.
When trying to install 8.1.7 client on a Vista 64-bit pc, I got the error message below:
"OUI cannot determine the platform of this system. this may occur if OUI is running on a system that is not supported or there is a bug in OUI. Please confirm that the system is a supported configuration; and if it is supported, then please contact Oracle Support."
I've been trying to find support/compatibility info on Metalink, but have not been able to.
We also have a 10.1.0.2 databases/environment on a separate server. Would installing 10g client possibly fix?
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance.

I truly hope this is not a serious question.
If you would only realize when Oracle 8.1.7 was released and when Windows Vista was released, 8.1.7 simply can not be certified for Windows Vista, as Oracle almost never certifies for newer releases, and Microsoft has a very bad track record for backwards compatibility.
Surely there is a certification matrix in Metalink, however it only lists the certified platforms.
You are probably going to have trouble to get 10.1.0.2 to communicate with 8.1.7. If you are not running 8.1.7.*4*, you can forget about it.
Time to return from the Stone Age, and to upgrade that database. If it means anything to your org, that is.

FireFox 4 and earlier versions will not install on my Windows Vista, 64 bit computer. The file downloads and the file extracts but I never make it to the installation wizard.

I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
See if that helps. Let me know.
Thanks,

That would be my first guess. You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform.
