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.

    Step1 and Step2 not that related to SQL Server, you can get the XSD from a given XML with an online XSD generator.

    Hello Negaz
    When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

  • Why was Firefox 4 installed in WIN 7 Program Files x86 directory while Firefox 3.6.12 was installed in the Programs Directory?

    After I installed the new Firefox 4.0 today, Secunia reported that there was an insecure version of Firefox 3.6.12 remaining on the computer.
    OS = Win 7 Professional.
    Firefox 4.0 installed in Program Files (x86) directory, while the old version 3.6.12 remained in the Program Files directory (file version = 1.9.2.3951)
    Why did this happen, and can I just delete the old version in the Program Files Directory, or would there be negative consequences if I did this?
    Thanks
    Bruce

    That's an interesting suggestion about how I acquired the 64-bit version.. However, I just responded to the Firefox updater when informed, and let it install itself - I did not get the 3.6.12 from another source, and wasn't even aware that there were 2 versions.
    The important question for me is - How do I get rid of the reminants of the 64-bit version in the Program Files Directory? - Is it safe just to delete the Mozilla Firefox directory and its contents?
    Is there a 64-bit version of Firefox 4 available, and if so, why didn't it sense that I have a 64-bit system and install the correct version?

  • This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them?

    This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them after the prograam is installed?

    Should come updated from the Mac App Store. Obviously, it's tough to keep things up to date when they are sitting in a box on a store shelf.

  • I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

    I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
    If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

  • Program Files (x86) directory invalid during XI R2 install.  How to change?

    I am receiving an error during a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2 install that the target ../Program Files (x86)/.. directory is invalid due to the "()".  I understand that this is a 32bit app and not compatible with the (x86) directory, but the path is greyed out during the install and cannot be modified.  I recall seeing some time back there is a registry key that can be changed for this default install directory - does anyone know what this is or how I can get around this problem and install the package to the regular Program Files directory?
    Thanks

    RTM unfortunately.  Do you happen to know if the SP4 full build is the version currently available for download on the support site in 2 separate files?  I am downloading now, hopefully this is what I need.

  • All I can see on my Ipod is the itunes app plugged into the usb.  I have reset it and still not working

    I am getting a black screen on my ipod touch.  I plug it into the ihome or the computer and all it shows it the round itunes and the usb plug in.  I have tried to reset it by pushing the home button with the on/off button and it will show the apple for just a split second and then go back to the itune/usb screen.   What can I do to fix this.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Why does my iTunes crash every time I connect a particular device and only that device?

    I am trying to switch from an iPhone 5 to a 5s. (The 5s is a company phone and was previously used by another employee.) The instant I connect the 5s to my computer I get a popup that says "iTunes has stopped working" and then the program closes. My iTunes works perfectly fine when I connect the 5 or any other device, so the issue must be with the phone. Why does this happen? How can I fix this?
    I did notice when I connect the 5 to my commuter and I open devices two items show up, iPhone and a USB Apple one. When I connect the 5s only the USB Apple device shows up. The iPhone device does not.

  • XML Schemas & XML SCHEMA COLLECTIONS: XSD.exe & the tool in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7..0A\Bin\x64?.

    Hi all,
    I just read Pages 346-348 of the book "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Bible" written by A. Jorgensen, P. LeBlanc, J. Chinchilla, J. Segarra & A. Nelson (published by Wiley) regarding XML Schemas and XML SCHEMA COLLECTIONS: Step 1.  create and
    save orderxml.xml
    <Order OrderID="1">
    <Item>
    <ItemNumber>V001</ItemNumber>
    <Quantity>1</Quantity>
    <Price>299.99</Price>
    </Item>
    </Order>
    Step 2.  using the tool in the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64
    Open a command prompt, and navigate the preceding directory. The syntax for creating schema is: Xsd.exe C:\temp\orderxml.xml /outputdirectory:c:\temp  to create the orderxml.xsd file.  
    Step 3. Copy all the contents of the orderxml.xsd file to the clipboard, and create a new query window in SQL Server Management Studio, pasting in the content of the clipboard. To create the XML Schema Collection, you need to add the CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION
    statement to the beginning of the schema as shown below:
    --MSss2012bibleP348.sql for XML Schema Collection OrderInformationSchemaCollection

    /* Apply it to the table/columns */
    ALTER TABLE ItemInfo

    GO
    I prepared (i) the orderxml.xml file for Step 1 and Step 2, and (ii) the MSss2012bibleP348.sql file for Step 3. But I am not sure that I can do the Steps (i) and (ii) in my PC that does not have the regular version of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and Microsoft
    Visual Studio 2012. Furthermore, I  have difficulties to do Step 2 and Step 3 in my PC that is the part of Windows 7 Lan Computer System in my office: I navigated to my C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\v7.0A\Bin\, I did not see the x64
    thing in the  Bin folder, but, I saw the xsd.exe in the Bin folder. If I click the xsd.exe and I get the following in the bottom of the PC screen:   
    xsd.exe Date modified:12/122011 12:55 PM    Date created:  12/12/2011  12:55 PM
    Applicaion    Size:81.8 KB
    Also, I see my PC screen flashes (and it looks like a dialog box with black background to flash for me to type the command) quickly. I am lost completely in this step and I don't understand the whole thing in doing Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3
    I briefly summarized/described/presented above.
    I need the following help from the experts of XML Schemas and XML Schema Collections in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:

  • When I inherit Form with binding DataSet why then designer find mdb file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'

    When I inherit Form with binding DataSet why then designer find mdb file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\' 
    Do I have to anything to change in my application settings or what I am doing wrong?
    When I inherit a plain Form with no binding DataSet then is all ok.

    I finally saw my longingly expected inherited window containing binding dataset.
    But only by way that I put mdb file right in to the this damn path.
    "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Zdrojove Data\ISMS2003.mdb" 
    In addition mdb file shall be clear too of password.
    We have many windows in our application and we have to work strongly good with inheritance of Form Classes.
    But how I will explain to my Boss if he click on that inherited window and will see this break window?
    Though I will advice to my Boss that hi have to copy too that MDB files to this damn path,
    but the best way could be to find what I need to change that this inherited windows shows without copy this MDB files to
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'
    When I check the settings for DataDirectory every paths looks good.
    Even if I set password for the mdb file I almost see only broken designer window.
    Only by copy this MDB file without his password to this path
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'
     I can see this inherited window right.

    The service file is in $srcdir, not $_svnmod/builders/cmake.
    You're using an outdated PKGBUILD template too. The svn source should be included in the source array and not checked out manually during the build process.
    EDIT: since this repository requires authentication, perhaps the correct format won't work.
