When will iTunes 11 actually be compatible with Windows 8. Not just as print on a specification requirements list. When will iTunes 11 be functionally compatible?

I just got off the phone with a Senior Rep at Apple who clearly and concisely stated.
Apple iTunes 11 Does Not Support Windows 8.
He stated that there is currently nothing in the works to support Windows 8.
I installed and read the specifications requirements list which states that Windows 8 is supported.
I have Windows 8 Professional and have not been able to sync or back up my iPhone since installing Windows 8.
When will Apple actually address this?

This is a user support forum. We don't know what Apple will do when. iTunes 10.7 didn't cliam to support Windows 8. iTunes 11 does. If there are still outstanding issues with compatability for some people then these have to be found and workarounds put in place. I don't have Windows 8, but I gather for some people updating drivers (I don't know which) has fixed their problems.

Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

Thanks! The procedure worked great for me (using iTunes 10), however there was one caveat. I also had to edit “AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi” with Orca and change the entry in “LaunchCondition” from
VersionNT64>=600
to
VersionNT64>=501
in order for the Device Manager driver update procedure to work, and iTunes to recognize my iPhone4. Prior to doing this, only “digital still camera” was displayed in the “imaging” entry in Device Manger. Once I did the above, “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver” was listed, and the procedure worked as written.

When digital edition will be compatible with Windows 8

Digital edition is not currently compatible with Windows 8, What is the likely date when it will be available for windows 8 as I can't use it on Windows8. Is there any other alternate available for this?
Thanks and regards

Both ADE1.7.2 (see *** below) and ADE2.0 run on Windows 8.
ADE2.0 is full of bugs on Windows 8; but only the same bugs it has everywhere else as well.
Neither can take advantage of touch, nor run in Metro mode (whatever it's proper name is).
As far as I am aware, there is no Adobe DRM compatible app that runs on Windows RT.
Just been alerted by another post ...
DL Reader app for Windows RT (thanks trainmore): http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/dl-reader/0be254fa-1323-4bda-92fa-698fe502456c
Two alternatives ...
For DRM free ebooks, use the free and vastly superior Calibre. http://calibre-ebook.com/
For DRM ebooks, you can use Sony Reader; free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without. I prefer ADE1.7.2 to Sony Reader. https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
*** Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Is itunes compatible with windows 8.1

is itunes compatible with windows 8.1

Bull-pucky the latest version is compatible! I have spent the better part of a great Sat. downloading versions all the way back to 10.7 even deleting the Library.itl file and starting fresh. I am running Windows 8.1 / 64-bit. . . . .went into ITunes Store today and all of a sudden NO WORDS OR DESCRIPTIONS APPEAR, ONLY PICTURES OF ALBUMS. How's one supposed to purchase anything when you cannot see what you're clicking on? ITunes has long had issues with Win 8.1 which I'm aware of, but THEY have done something from their end (possibly with this new $7.99 per month change coming) I'm assuming if I had a Mac this wouldn't be a problem, but this just stinks! I purchase a ton of music and have 16 published stations, do they not want my $$ any longer? Not negative towards you, sorry - can you help?

Is itunes compatible with windows 8

Is itunes compatible with windows 8. I get 100% disk usage when downloading from itunes store.

I have the same issue when downloading from itunes store. 100% Disk utilization and only writing ~2.5MB. This is a Windows 8-8.1/iTunes issue. On which side? who knows... But i don't have this issue when writing to my main drive, this is not a drive issue as i tried it on many drives and even on RAID 0. I hope they get this fixed, this is driving me nuts. I have a 50Mbps x 5Mbps Internet conneciton and its bottlenecking me at 25Mbps. Lame!

Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

Riccardo Pesare
I have Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, and it runs well there.
But, I must disagree with SG when he writes
It will likely run. But it will not be able to take advantage of Windows 8's advanced architecture (including the 64-bit operating system and ability to access more than 4 gigs of RAM).
You can prove to yourself that Premiere Elements 10 is a 64 bit application running on Windows 8 64 bit. To do this use the Process Explorer Sysinternals and add a Image Type Column readout. When you do this for Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the readout tells you that you are working with a 64 bit version.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
And, as a 64 bit application, Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 Windows should be able to take full advantage of the 64 bit system when Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
I suspect SG is thinking Mac not Windows in his comment. It is my recollection that Premiere Elements 10 Mac is still a 32 bit application on 64 bit system. And, you are using Windows, not Mac.
We will watch for his clarification on this point or for support for what he posted as is.

Is iTunes 11.0.4 the curent version compatible with windows 8.1

Is it compatible with windows 8.1? If not when do you think it will be compatible? I really want to know I know it is compatible with windows 8.

I'm having exactly the same problem too. I click the button to no avail. The add-on hasn't been updated for over a year so I suspect that this isn't an isolated issue.

Will Photoshop 6.0 be compatible with Windows 8?

As Windows XP Pro is going to be obsolete after April 2014, I am wondering if my version of Photoshop 6.0 will be compatible with Windows 8? I was thinking of having my tech person install that version of Windows on a new system when spring rolls around. Any insights, feedback and additional suggestions would be appreciated!

I don't think OE has worked aince XP. If you don't have a copy of MS Office that comes with the full version of Outlook, then MS provide Windows Mail with Windows 8, and it is a poor imitation. I've been using it on my laptop while my big system box has been out of commission, and it sucks.
I understand Thunderbird is OK, and it's free
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
But I have no experience.
What you need to do is make a strategy while you still have the old system running, because that will make a difference about what format to export everything from OE. Here again, I have never used OE, but there about half a dozen alternatives with Outlook.

I wonder if you can move the location of the OE data to an external drive? That way, you could connect the external drive to the new system and point to it.
Hmmm... I think the best course would be to install Thunderbird (if that's what you decide to go with) to the XP system. Thunderbird will then import everything from OE

From this thread, you simply need to transfer the data to the new system, and the location is linked in the third post.

How do i know if my itunes is compatible with windows 64 bit?

How do i know if my itunes is compatible with windows 64 bit?

Did you download the 64-bit installer?
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.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Is iTunes 11 compatible with Windows's 8

Is iTunes 11 compatible with windows 8?

Thanks homeport1, that helped me to get it installed, although after I rebooted as prompted, Windows said the installation was corrupt and I had to Repair it. iTunes 11 is now installed and running but I can't save my Preferences. I have been through the menus and set them but when I click on OK, the dialogue box doesn't close. Nothing is highlighted to indicate I have made an error in any of the selections. It also flags some videos as new but not others, even though the ones flagged as new are some of the oldest in the library. It seems like there might be some bugs in this version where Windows 8 is concerned.

So apparently Itunes is not compatible with Windows 8. Are you planning on fixing this problem any time in the near future?

Is iTunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?

Is Itunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?
Every time I open iTunes, the Data Execution Prevention Closes it Down. We Have Windows XP

I finally got it to work by making sure that I was running itunes as the "administrator". Here's what I did: Right click on itunes......click on 'run as'.....click on "administrator", it'll ask for a password. If you don't know it (like me) create a new account user called "Admin" with a password. Everytime you want to use itunes do this. I know it's a pain but so far so good. Hope this helps.

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
