Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit...how?

I have the OEM dvd with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. How can I get the 64 bit version? (it's not on the dvd that I have)
Can I download the 64 bit version from Microsoft or something like that, will it accept the activation from my 32 bit?
Thanks.

Custom clean install is the only way - you can't 'upgrade' 32-bit OS to 64-bit, they are different kernel and drivers.

If I download Firefox on Windows 7 64 bit, how do I get it to run in 32 bit mode?

I have noticed if I'm on a 64 bit PC ( I am remote support for a product that needs 32 bit browser/32 bit java to work correctly), and they have upgraded to Firefox 8.0 it seems to install and run natively in 64 bit mode, and will not recognize Java 6 29 32 bit plugin.

If there was not a problem, I would not have asked the question. I have encountered this on 9 different pcs this week alone, all of them Windows 7 64 bit and had to swap them to a different browser for Java 6 29 to work.

Win Vista 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit how to back up firefox bookmarks, passwords?

Currently on Vista 32 bit OS. Using FRESH HDD I'm switching to Windows 7 64 bit... Want to back up everything to external hard drive to put on new HDD.
'''''FIREFOX passwords, bookmarks, cookies, maybe even settings?'''''
1) Able to backup 32 bit firefox stuff and restore/copy to Windows 7 64 bit?
2) All locations of files to back up - bookmarks, passwords, ect..)
what process to use to get on new windows 7 64 hdd?
copy files/folders to new location with-in windows 7???
* Know a lot/all(?) app data cannot be used from 32 bit on 64 bit, but there has got to be a way to not lose all my firefox user data (especially bookmarks and passwords!)
Thanks

Even on 64-bit Windows, Firefox is a 32-bit application, so your data will be usable. It is easier if the version is the same on both (e.g., Firefox 3.6 to 3.6, Firefox 5 to 5).
Check out these articles:
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information] (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder onto a USB flash drive or other external media. Or both!)

Windows 7 64-bit - how do I install Photoshop CC 64-bit, because the 32 bit version was installed automatically?

I am running window 7 64-bit and the version of photoshop that CC installed is 32-bit. I want to install a 64-bit version of photoshop so that I can access all of my RAM (I keep getting error messages). Apparently CC should install the correct version for the operating system automatically ...

Thanks for the reply.
I just re-opened Photoshop after it crashed and now it is a 64-bit version and in preferences I can now see all of my RAM. That sounds odd but I checked Help/About Photoshop and earlier it was x32 and now it says x64. Fairly sure I'm not going mad.
I think I need to re-phrase my question.

Upgrading PC to Windows 7 64 bit - how do I make sure iTunes bahaves itself

Hi
I am upgrading my PC to Win7 64 bit which will involve a clean install.
All of my music is on my D drive, and backed up externally.
How will I get iTunes to work with my music / playlists / everything else afterwards?
Thanks.

My music (and everything else - apps, books, podcasts) are on a separate hard disk (D)
Is this only the /iTunes media/ folder and contents?
Or is it the /iTunes/ folder which contains an iTunes library.itl file and iTunes library.xml file, /Album artwork/ folder /iTunes media/ folder and /Previous iTunes libraries/ folder?
If it is /iTunes media/ folder then my previous post stands as is.

Super Charger on P67A-G45 mb, windows 7 64-bit -- how do I get it to work?

Hi there,
I'm not sure how to get this super charger feature to work. MSI update utility downloaded and installed the super charger utility
First question:
The description for the motherboard on the MSI website says it has "i-charger" (not "super charger"). Is the "super charger" software the right thing to have on my computer?
I understand it works with only some usb ports, not all. I've seen people say it goes in the red header. Others mention the JUSB1 header. My motherboard doesn't have any red headers, and JUSB1 is hooked up to two USB ports in the front of the computer case.
It looks like the super charger software runs automatically on startup. When I try to open it by hand I just get a little message saying it is already running. But I don't get any window, or interface, or even a task bar notification icon. So how do I bring up any options associated with super charger (to enable / disable).
Nothing pops up when I hook up my smartphone (droid x). It charges, but I can't tell if super charger is enabled. If I put the computer to sleep, and then plug in the phone, it doesn't start charging.
So... the other questions would be:
How are you supposed to use this super-charger utility?
Am I using the right USB ports?
How do I get this thing to charge my phone when the computer is sleeping, or off?
Thanks!
David

As far as I know Supercharger is only for MB's that have a red USB header on it. Example in picture below. That header has circuitry designed for the 1500ma (1.5A) current draw of devices that charge at that rate. I believe the I-charger circuitry of standard USB header is limited to 1200ma (1.2A).

ITunes on Mac & Windows 7 (6 bit)

I can never get to have my iTunes correct.
I activated my iPhone 5 on my Macbook.. but all my music is on my Windows 7 (64 bit)
How I can make use of my iTunes with BOTH computers?.. On my Mac I usualy add videos, PDF documents and picttures to my iPhone 5... And I manually add music to my iPhone.

The way I solved this was to use the same iTunes library file on a shared Windows drive. That library contains everything I want to sync to the phone.
Since the actual paths on both systems are slightly different, the library file is rebuilt everytime you switch from one OS to the other, SO that usually only becomes a problem by not using the default Library location for the newer versions. Otherwise you may need to become handy with an XML editor from time to time. Or keep a good backup of your library file...

How can I sync my iPod Classic with iTunes 11.1.4 and Windows 7 64-bit?

After assistance from ‘b Noir’ (and losing--then finally regaining--my DVD/CD reader in the process), I finally installed the iTunes Version 11.1.4 update on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. So I am again able to import music from CDs, play music on my PC with iTunes, and burn CDs as I could do with previous iTunes versions. Then, however, I purchased some new music and tried to sync iTunes with my iPod Classic for the first time since the update to 11.1.4. So far, I have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Can anyone help me?
With previous iTunes versions, sync was automatic when I connected iPod to a USB port. Now when I connect iPod Classic to PC's USB port (I've tried two different ports), iPod’s screen says “Connecting” but iTunes doesn’t open. And while iPod is connected to the USB port, I can't open iTunes by right-clicking its icon and selecting “Open.” (ITunes, however, always opens OK if iPod is NOT connected). With the iPod connected to a PC's USB port, I opened Windows 7 “Devices and Printers.” Devices shown included both (a) the “Apple iPod USB Device” and (b) “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.” I right-clicked each of these device icons in turn and selected “troubleshoot.” Both times, the report was “Troubleshooting couldn’t identify the problem.”
I am also unable to properly “eject” the iPod. I tried ejecting (a) from the Windows taskbar's Notification Area, (b) from Windows “Devices and Printers” and (c) by right clicking the iTunes icon and selecting “Eject.” Nothing worked, so I reluctantly pulled the cable out of the iPod without ejecting. That causes a yellow triangle with an exclamation point to appear in “Devices and Printers” for my PC—which disappears after shutting down and rebooting the PC.
If I start iTunes and THEN connect the iPod Classic to the USB port, iTunes does nothing and almost instantly freezes (shows as “not responding” in Windows Task Manager and I have to close it via Task Manager).
Suggestions, please, on what I need to do? My iPod Classic continues to work just fine, but I can't put any of my newly purchased music on it and I guess it will become an expensive paperweight if the battery happens to run down. If nothing else, is there an old version of iTunes I can download somewhere that likely will work with the iPod Classic and my PC setup? Thanks so much!

Hi turingtest2,
Thanks so much for your response--yes, I've seen the TS1363 document.
I was able to open iTunes, start the iPod Diagnostic Device Connectivity Test, and connect the iPod when prompted to do so. The only problem reported by the diagnostic program was "No iPod, iPhone or iPad found." So it does seem as if the TS1363 document should apply. But I have tried connecting the iPod after executing each of Steps 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 shown there and nothing has worked so far. Details follow:
--Went through the iPod Classic troubleshooting assistant--except I did not "reset" the iPod (because having all my "old" music available on the iPod has value to me).
--Restarted iPod Service.
--Restarted Apple Mobile Device Service.
--Verified that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed. There is no down arrow or question mark or other indication of problem with it.
--Tried two different USB ports (I assume that is what is meant by "change your iPod's drive letter"?).
--Temporarily disabled Norton Antivirus.
For some reason, there are 368 files and 60 folders in the Temp folder under my user name, and it looks like at least some are "read-only." Windows wouldn't let me delete or move the folder, even after I turned off Norton AntiVirus and closed the programs in the "Notification Area" that I could figure out how to close.
I'm very reluctant to get into messing with Config files or registry keys. And I have already tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes 11.4.1 so many times. I'm not sure what to do but am considering uninstalling all of the Apple products (again) and try installing an older version of iTunes. Or maybe I should try to install iTunes 11.4.1 on our Windows 8 laptop and see if the iPod will connect to that (although I really need to be able to sync to my desktop PC). Probably won't have time to do either for a few days--too many other things to do. But please let me know if there's something more that's relatively simple and low-risk I could try. Thanks again!

How to fix applepushservice.dll issues for downloading iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit

I recently had iTunes crash on my home PC, Windows 7 64-bit. I have tried several attempts to uninstall and reinstall the program and it still does not work and I receive error messages. The latest: The program can't start because ApplePushService.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Problem is, the articles that I have seen state this is an Unknown source and my firewall will not allow it to be installed. The original error was a Windows Error 7 (registry & .dll issues). Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

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 the 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.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

How to enable JIT debugging on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer? I keep getting different Errors popping up on my computer about debugging different programs and that JIT debugging must be enabled!

How do I enable JIT debugging on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer? I keep getting different Errors popping up on my computer and the latest one says when I attempted to watch a DVD video with VLC media player but this isn't the first error this week saying

Hi Rhondavas77,
To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging
On the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types:
Managed, Native, or Script.
To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are required to change that key.
Click OK.

How do I retrieve a hWnd required to draw an image created by an ActiveX object on a windows 7 64-bit system?

I'm calling to the NaturalPoint Optitrack SDK using activex controls and am trying to pull tracking data from a trackIR 5. I have connected to the camera and wanted to start by just viewing a captured frame. The Optitrack COM provides a function to draw the frame, but needs a hWnd handle for a window to draw to. I tried to call FindWindow from the user32.dll, but only found FindWindowA, FindWindowExA, FindWindowW, and FindWindowExW. I'm using Labview 8.6 (32-bit) on a Windows 7 64 bit system (trying to figure out how access the universities liscense manger to install LV2010 64 bit). Thanks
Jarad

The other functions are variants, depending on how you're dealing with strings:
FindWindowW : Unicode names
FindWindowA: ANSI names
FindWindowEx: Searches child windows for the window that has the specified name. You can provide a parent window handle as a starting point. The "A" and "W" follow the same Unicode/ANSI names as FindWindow.
You'd want to use FindWindowA or FindWindowExA since LabVIEW doesn't support Unicode.
