Why does iTunes 64-bit install in the 32-bit Program Files folder?

If "iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows (64 bit)" is really a 64 bit application then why does the installer want to put the program into C:\Program Files (x86)\ on Vista 64-bit instead of C:\Program Files\? Is this just sloppy work by the Apple programmers or is this the first sign of potentially more problems with iTunes 64-bit?

It's not.

Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50). Everytime I try to sync my phone?

Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)". Everytime I try to sync my phone? I have another Iphone that syncs with the same itunes account and it's working fine.

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared. Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post. It's all to do with the wireless sync.
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe' then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

Why does iPod on iPhone4 cut off the beginning of audio files?

First time user of Apple and iTunes and iPhone4. I transfer my audio files onto my iPhone, play them in iPod and it cuts off the first 10 or more seconds or so. The files play perfectly well in every other device and player. Why does this happen in iTunes/iPhone/iPod? How to fix this?
Thanks.

Why does iTunes tries to install iOS 6.1.3 instead of iOS7 in my iPhone 4s

I downloaded the iOS7 beta version from the developers website (my company is registered in the dev program) in my iPHone 4s.
When the finall version finally came out I started noticing issues with the battery (it drained too fast) and I read that doing a full restore helped with this issue.
But then when I try to restore my iPhone using iTunes it gives me an error saying that the resource could not be found. I then try to put the iPhone in recovery mode to 'force' the restore and then it does not give the same error but it tries to download the version 6.1.3 of the software which can't install either becuse it says the iPHone is ineligible.
What do I do?

Now with 7.0.2 out heres the status.
- iTunes says there is no update available and that 7.0 is the most up to date version (which is not).
- If I click restore instead of update in iTunes, it again gives me an error saying that there was an error downloading the software.
- If I force it by putting the device in recovery mode then It doesnt fail to download the software but it one more time tries to download version 6.1.3 and if I go ahead and try to install that, it says the iPhone is ineligible.
- If I try to update the iphone from within iOS it fails as well.
Help me please, don't know what else to try.

Why does iTunes use 100% CPU all the time, hogging my Macbook Air?

Decided to post this here instead of the iTunes forum, since it might be related to hardware too.
New owner of a 2011 13" Macbook Air, core i5 based.
My problem started about 1 week ago, after it had run out of power completely one day. At the first boot after that it was incredibly sluggish, totally unusable. After waiting for 5 minutes and still being unresponsive, I turned it off and then back on. Then it booted fine. HOWEVER, ever since that time I noticed the following behavior:
- iTunes stays at 100% + CPU all the time, mostly between 100-120%. Even if it's not playing. Even when I deleted the entire library and left it empty.
- iStats reports CPU idle between 50-65%. However, CPU temperature is still about 55 degrees C (which, I think, is far less than what it should have been with 50% idle cpu). I can confirm the low temperature by touching the chasis.
- the cursor freezes and jumps every few seconds, making the mac kind of unusable with iTunes open.
This has been going on for 2 weeks now. The problem goes away every now and then (iTunes sometimes goes back to regular CPU usage of 3-5%), but most of the time it's there.
Help!
P.S.
Mac OX X 10.7.2
iTunes 10.5.2

Cee Pee You, is a OS modification. Apple recommends that you un-install these prior to a OS update because Apple makes changes to the OS all the time which breaks programs like these.
I avoid Unsanity LLC products like the plague. Notice the company is a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), which makes it difficult to sue the company in case of a defective or malicious product. So the risk using their products is all yours. Their APE framework modules have been used for malicious purposes because anyone can write a module that uses the APE framework.
I also avoid installing anything that requires a administrative password unless I completely trust the source, like Apple mostly. That admin password is the key to the security of our machines, not to be given out lightly or carelessly.
You'll have to contact Unsanity's [email protected] because what I'm reading online is it's very difficult to remove as it doesn't "exist".

I have the latest version of itunes and a very new computer and a stable connection. Why does iTunes refuse to connect to the appointment store? I have tried the standard fixes but nothing helps

I have the latest version of iTunes. Whenever I click on the iTunes store section on iTunes the loading bar reaches half-way then stops. I can access my acount on my ipod touch however. i have tried reinstalling itunes but no help. I do have an internet filter but it is not doing any pop-ups(as it always does when it blocks content) so I am very sure that is not the problem.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Question: Why does iTunes try and install a webcam?

When I try and upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, it attempts to install a Logitec QuickCam and keeps asking for a CD to install the driver from.
This strikes me as a little odd ... is this normal for apple applications, or just an undocumented feature?
After hitting cancel many times, on the quickcam install popup, it eventually aborts the install completely.

good gracious, Joshua ... you're actually the

person i've seen report this ...
the family cat once managed to overcome something like this. will the same trick work for you?

HT1414 I want to restore the iPad to factory settings. The IOS software on the iPad is up to date and I have limited space on my PC C Drive. Why does iTunes keep trying to download the iPad software again when it is already up to date?

The restore won't complete because there isn't enough space on the C Drive. I have placed a copy of the software update on the D drive, but don't know how to redirect iTunes to that folder to extract the software. I can't extend my C Drive

Assuming you have a iPad 1, I wqould do a manual update using these instructions:

Why does iTunes play consecutive songs by the same artist so often?

Is there a way to stop or greatly reduce the issue in iTunes of playing consecutive songs by the same artist when playing in "shuffle" mode? There was a slide tool in preferences that allowed you to set that to "less likely" or "more likely" but that appears to be gone from iTunes now, or at least I can't find it. Not that it matters much, the problem was WORSE when they added that "tool" anyway. It was less likely before they added whatever that algorithm was. Now this happens constantly that my iPod plays 2 or 3 consecutive songs by the same artist when I am playing it in shuffle mode. I have over 3500 songs on my iPod but it will usually play only a small percentage of those before starting to repeat also. It seems to "stick" in a small area of the alphabet when in shuffle mode. Meaning, it will play artists whose names begin with say L through R and ONLY those artists, then repeat a bunch of them after playing only 20-30 songs. Everything else seems to be working fine on my iPod but this. I suspect it's the programming in iTunes but of course, I have no way to prove that and Apple being the quasi Communist gov't type that they are, I can get no answers from them on this or most questions I have. Maybe somebody here has encountered one of these issues and can offer some resolution?

I wish Apple would just remove the feature that supposedly addresses this issue. It worked better when there was no setting for this. I'm just tired of being pencil whipped by Big Brother.

Why does itunes match get stuck on the 2nd step and then cause itunes to crash?

hello. I have been having an odd and annoying problem with itunes match for the past few months. Everytime I launch itunes, match comes on and starts working but then crashes in the second step. It says that it is matching my songs with the songs in the itunes store and when it gets to about 4500 out of 4600, it stops and then a pop up comes up that says itunes has stop working and it needs to close. In addition, i just tried to add some new music to my library and it's cloud status is "waiting" and will not change. Oddly, A few of the songs did load (only 7 out of 48). I have tried restarting the computer and updating match in the itunes store. I even uninstalled itunes and redownloaded it. This is getting rather frustrating and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

YES.
I posted a question about this in another thread and it got no responses.
It's not the internet connection.
I also have an iPhone 4. My Match library is quite large.
When it gets hung up like this, you can look at the download status in the iTunes Store app and it will show "Processing..." as the status on those stuck files. The others just sit and wait.
If you delete the stuck downloads, it won't successfully download those files (not for me at least) unless you restart your phone.
I don't have the answer, unfortunately.

Why does FCP append _1-2 to the name of my file...

when I Export my sequence Audio to AIFF? It's annoying to have to change it back to its original name. Or is there some reason for this that I'm unaware of?

Hi -
Because when you used the Export to AIFF, you chose to have each track sent as a mono track, hence it is labeling the output tracks 1 and 2.
If you want to export it as a Stereo Pair, then choose Stereo Mix.

Why does Audition add 'dead air' to the end of my files?

I have numerous mp3's that I have batch processed total RMS, then I have reduced noise on each. When I saved them all out, their lengths have changed significantly.
When listend to, they sound normal, except that where they should end there is now an additional 45 seconds (or more) dead air.
Opening them in Audition shows them as the original length - no dead air. So, I am a little frustrated because I cannot edit what I cannot even see.
I am working in Audition 5.5, macbook pro...
Thanks for your help in advance!

Why does the iTunes 64 installer install into the Program Files (x86) directory and run in 32 bit mode?

I have just installed this and even tried to manually get it to install in the "Program Files" directory. Programs installed into the "Program Files (x86)" directories are 32 bit apps. This is where the iTunes64Setup file installs to. Is this intended? If so, why call it iTunes 64 bit ? It is compatible in this mode, but iTunes actually running in 64 bit mode could drastically improve performance and processing of large libraries.
Please advise if this is a known issue or if iTunes 64 bit even exists.

The 64-bit version of iTunes is a mixture of 64-bit and 32-bit componentry. You'll also notice on your PC that some of the componentry for iTunes itself is installing in the iTunes folder in the Program files directory (such as the miniplayer). The GEAR drivers used for burning and importing are 64-bit. The iPod service is 64-bit. AMDS is 64-bit. Bonjour is partially 64-bit.
It's normal to see the itunes.exe process running as 32-bit on a 64-bit system.

Why does Itunes sync my purchase transfers to the wrong hard drive?

I'm running windows 7 with a 64gb SSD boot drive and 1tb data drive. My boot drive is almost completely full. I installed itunes on my data drive and set the preferences to sync media to the data drive as well. I plug in my old ipod to tranfer purchases before an update. The tranfer never finished because it synced all of the data to my boot drive and now my boot drive is completely full and the data is nowhere to be found. I recently had the same problem with it syncing an iphone backup to the same drive, but I found a work around for that. Why does Itunes instist on loading stuff on the boot drive? How can I redirect it? This is simple preferences that should be available to change, but simply aren't.

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Music tap, make sure there are no checks in the boxes labeled "Entire Music Library", & "Automatically fill free space with songs":
