When will Apple develop a 64 bit version of Safari for Windows?

I've been using this browser for a while now and absolutely love it!
Features that stand out from the crowd are:
Apples unique font smoothing technology.
Best colour management available on any browser.
Speed.
Excellent web standards coverage.
Most of the competitors are now developing 64 bit versions in preparation for the release of 64 bit Flash and Silverlight. Apple cites improvements for it's Mac OS version 64bit vs the 32 bit. If development isn't in the works then it should be for Windows!

  • 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

    I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp.  I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010.  I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something.  I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file. 
    So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit.  Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime.  Great, tell me where it is.  There is no option for 64-bit on the website.  It doesn't even say it is 64-bit.  It just says its compatible with Windows 7.  Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file.  The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
    The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed.  That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop.  It has no issues with the file.  It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief.  If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
    Ideas?  Where is the 64-bit version?  How do you tell it is 64-bit?  How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

    If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
    If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
    It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
    Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
    Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
    Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
    Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
    I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
    As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

  • When will Apple put the Adobe Flash version on the iPads?

    When will Apple put the MS Adobe Flash version on the iPads?  The iMac desktop has Quick Time, but there's nothing for the iPads that I know of.

    Guess you haven't seen the analysts reports and sales numbers for Android tablets lately... Or heard that the tablet optimized version of IE in Windows 8 will be plug in free... Or heard that Adobe is now pushing a server product that will convert Flash video to HTML 5 for use on mobile devices.
    A 1980 Chevy Chevette will do the same thing as a 2011 Mustang. I guess Ford is going to go out of business when everyone starts driving Chevettes.

  • Is there a nightly 64-bit version of firefox for windows?

    I know that you cannot compile a official stable version of 64 bit Windows because you mistakenly think it's enough with the unefficient 32bit version. But what I want to ask you is if there is a nightly version of 64 bit for windows, and if it exists, where can I get it, Zipped or installer (please, I would like binaries; I don't want to fight for hours with many configuration files, compiling process and so on).
    PD: Please release a 64 bit version of firefox on Windows. What more do you want to postpone it?
    I saw a st*pid answer like «Yep :) Firefox works fine on both 32bit and 64 bit, so no need to worry :) », but this is NOT a solution. I have a 64bit OS, then, I would like to use full advantages and performance of this more modern platform rather than a less capable version. I dont have many GB of RAM and a multicore CPU as a decoration.

    Win64 Nightly has existed for some time however they are not supported (like the Win32, Mac OSX 32/64-bit and Linux 32/64-bit are) as they are currently more for to catch breakage/regressions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Supported_build_configurations
    No it is not simply because the 32-bit version works.
    The 64-bit Windows builds has still been a work in progress on a number of things that needs to be in order, especially for Win64 Releases to happen.
    For reading as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum like here.

  • Is there a version of Safari for WINDOWS later than 5.7?

    I have a Dell XPS 1 which on which I run Windows 7. I have always used Safari as my OS. I am receiving emails which indicate that my version of Safari 5.7 is no longer supported by gmail. I can't find any version of Safari later than 5.7 which is for WINDOWS. Can you please advise? Thanks.

    5.1.7 is the most recent: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531
    Last update was in 2012.
    I am an Apple guy. The only windows machine I use belongs to my employer. But honestly, Safari for Windows is a dog. You need to find another browser. A newer version of IE should work well with Gmail, and of course there is always Chrome or FireFox.

  • After downloading and installing the 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows I get a "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone to synch it I get a message that says that I don't the 64-bit version??

    After downloading the 64-bit version of iTunes on my Windows 7 machine I get the "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message.  However, when I plug in my iPhone I get an error message that says, in part, "...the required software is not installed.  Run the installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes".  I've been at this for hours, carefully deleting all Apple software (Apple Mobile Support, Quicktime, etc. and before each attempt to install the 64-bit version from Apple ( no third parties).  Same result each time!!!  Any ideas????

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • Why does Apple refuse to make a 64 bit version of quicktime for Windows?

    For those of us in digital media creation Quicktime is a highly used App, how ever access to 4+ gigs of ram is more important. I'm making the switch to a 64-bit OS in the next week or so, and it's really frustrating to see that Apple, after how many years since XP64 first hit, STILL does not have a 64-Bit version of Quicktime. What is the hold up?
    I also don't understand how they can release something where one of the main features is busted for multiple versions. I had to stick with an older version of QT for quite awhile before the load image sequence was fixed. Why are their Windows customers treated as second class citizens?

  • Every time I connect my iPod/iPhone to itunes it say it will not connect because I need the 64 bit version of iTunes for Windows. But I do...

    I have reinstalled iTunes over 20 times at this point. I've also tried standalone installers for the mobile support. NONE of it is working. This computer is brand new and should have no issues with functionality towards iTunes. This makes absolutely no sense. Please help. I do have the 64 bit version for Windows currently installed.

    Same problem. 

  • Is there a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows 7 64-bit?

    I'm just a bit confused. I have Version 8.x of Firefox, which seems to be a 32-bit version. The help site seemed to say that there is a 64-bit version of Firefox, but when I went to download it, I got something called Nightly, which has now replaced my Firefox. Is nightly a fully-functioning version of Firefox? Is there any advantage to using it as my browser? Is there any reason I shouldn't use it? I would call myself an advanced intermediate user in terms of computer literacy.
    Another related question: When I search something on the help site, I often see references to Version 3.x or Version 4.x. Is my 8.x on the same numbering system as these versions? Is it the most up-to-date version?
    Thanks for your help.

    Nightly is a pre-release testing version of Firefox: bleeding edge and not necessarily stable. It is Firefox -- a rose by any other name, and all -- but it is buggy, as all testing software is (I'm using it right now). New Firefox versions are born from Nightly, so when a 64-bit version of Firefox is released, it will have come from Nightly development. Use it for general browsing and send feedback (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General) and you will be helping to beta test a new baby Firefox.

  • How do I download the 64-Bit version of iTunes for Windows 7?

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7 O.S. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to the computer, but when I try to install it, I am getting a message telling me I need the 64-Bit version, but I have downloaded the 32-Bit version.
    I have tried to find the 64-bit version but am having no luck finding it. Can someone please point me in the right direction with a link to the 64-Bit version. Thank you very much.

    Head to the downloads page, Joie:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Down at the bottom left (scroll down if necessary?), you should see:
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    ... click the *64-bit installer* text to go to a downloads page for the latest version of the 64-bit installer.

  • When will Firefox offer a 64-bit version ? I use my 32-bit Firefox,but keep my 64-bit Waterfox and Pale Moon ready, when Firefox crashes on Windows 8.

    I am a Firefox Veteran. Been around since the NCSA web browser days and used the first Firefox web browsers. I have never liked or trusted Microsoft Windows, so I've never used Internet Explorer. I had tweaked Windoze Blue Screen Of Death software from the Windows 3.0 days and did minor maintenance on the "Pizza Boxes" to keep them alive until I or my duty station could afford a newer one. Firefox has always performed for me working for "Uncle Sam" or at home. I keep Firefox and the versions: Sea Monkey, Aurora, Nightly on my laptop because I like Firefox and I like to switch from one browser to the other sometimes -- plus, in a Windows crash, I have a backup browser. Windows always "Crashes"; somethings never change. My 32-bit Firefox doesn't seem as reliable on my 64-bit 'Windoze' 8 as it was on Windows 7. My hope is that some of the Firefox Gurus have a 64-bit Firefox up on blocks in the shed out back ready to rock and roll or at least release as experimental to be played with and tested. Thanks guys -- Keep up the good work. Sam

    Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

  • HT4669 When will Apple TV support IPV6?  I'm hoping for support on gen 2,3 Apple TV versions.

    I couldn't find an Apple TV support community.  Trying Airport community.
    Looking to enable (even if difficult or officially unsupported) IPV6 on an Apple TV.
    Is there a way to do this and will the support be built into a future OS update?

    Unfortunately, there are no iPv6 settings on an Apple TV to set up.
    will the support be built into a future OS update?
    Sorry, but as you can imagine, no one on a user-to-user support forum will know anything about what a notoriously secretive company like Apple might do, or when they might do it.
    Suggest that you try contacting Apple directly to see if they can tell you anything.
