Windows xp pro x64 edition HELP -- Cant install Itunes

I have searched and can only find answeres that are 4 and 5 years old.
Can I download Itunes for this machine? If not, is there a program I can use that will allow me to play my ipod on this machine?
Thanks you
God Bless
SOG

The answers from four or five years ago still apply. There is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64"or do a web search for something like "iTunes Windows XP 64", you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.
As to alternatives, there are third-party utilities such as MediaMonkey, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Store, so you will not be able to purchase content from the Store. The applications may also may not work with the most recent iPods, so confirm compatbility with your iPod model.
Regards.

Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.

Install iTunes on Windows XP Pro x64 Edition

I just recently purchased a new system (Windows 64-bit) running XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 2.
Is iTunes supported for XP Pro x64 Edition?
Thanks for any help.

No, there is no 64 bit edition of iTunes for Windows XP, only Vista.
You can, however, install the 32 bit version. You will then have to download and install the 64 bit Gear drivers for burning from the Gear site:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
Unfortunately you can not get the 64 bit drivers for the iPhone and Touch. If you have one of these, you may find this link interesting:

G710 Windows 7 Pro x64 Bluetooth + Wireless driver install errors (can't install)

Hi all,
I've recently just purchased the G710 i3 model as a birthday gift for my dad. It originally came with Windows 8 installed but my father prefers Windows 7 so I've installed this on a SSD (replacing the 1TB drive).
After updating Windows 7 Professional x64 with updates via ethernet I started to install all the drivers in the following order:
note: downloaded x64 drivers (for obvious reasons)
chipset
graphics (intel hd4600 first followed by nvidia gt 720m)
NIC LAN
Audio
Bluetooth and Wireless (won't work - see below for errors)
Touchpad
Card Reader
Webcam
Intel Management Engine (ME)
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (RST)
BatteryCare (replacing the Lenovo Energy Management)
I've downloaded all from the Lenovo web site except up to date Chipset, ME and RST from Intel.
All drivers except for the Bluetooth and Wireless have installed fine. All Fn keys work except for the "Airplane Mode" (guessing due to the driver not being installed).
These are the following errors I get:
http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt265/aniceguy85/forums_keep/x64_error01.png~original
after clicking on OK ... I get the following
http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt265/aniceguy85/forums_keep/x64_error02.png~original
after clicking on OK ... there is another message displayed in the CMD window directly underneath the 1st one which is exactly the same text. Both windows then immediately close.
I tried the 32 bit version of the driver and got exactly the same result.
Can this be fixed so it can work? I'm hoping it's not just me.
Thanks for any help in advance, Pete

hi pete_agreatguy,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The extraction maybe looking at a missing folder.
When you downloaded the driver
WLAN and Bluetooth Driver (Intel, Broadcom, Qualcomm) for 64-bit Windows
When you doubleclick it it should pop up a winodw where you hit next , agree then it shows a page where you can see a box with a browse button. can you share if you are getting that?
like this:

Please help cant install iTunes 7.7

i was using the previous version and just started off an update when prompted for iTunes 7.7, but the update then failed (sadly it didnt really give any info about the failure). I have tried downlaoding and installing manualy but still no joy the installation just fails and says i need to reinstall iTunes.
However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
I tried doing a repair with the itunes 64 setup but that didnt seem to work either.
I have since uninstalled quick time and tried to uninstall iTunes but still stuck in the same situation of it refusing to uninstall.
Please help guys 'ANY' thoughts apreciated
cheers

However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
Okay. Let's try uninstalling the existing version by other means.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
Now restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver. Does Palm have any plans for a solution? Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS. Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture.
Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware). Will a third-party develop a desktop client? I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!

Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

ITunes 7.6 and Windows XP Pro x64 ---- 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro

My wife was given an iPod nano, so I downloaded the current version of iTunesSetup.exe from www.apple.com and tried to run the executable. It told me that it wasn't designed to install iTunes on my 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro, and that I should go back to www.apple.com and download the 64 bit installer. I went back to www.apple.com and searched for the 64 bit installer in vain. There is only one main link to the current installer and the website determines which version of the installer you're given. After a few google searches I managed to aquire iTunes64setup.exe from the Apple site. I ran the executable and it told me "This iTunes installer requires that your computer is running Windows Vista 64-bit" and then it gave me the option to exit. I ended up installing iTunes from the executable I had originally downloaded. I have iTunes 7.6.2.9 installed now but it doesn't detect, or can't operate my DVD burner, so I can't rip music with iTunes for use on my wife's nano. I get this error report when I run the Diagnostic test built into iTunes.

Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel."
And there was no change in the diagnostic when I first tried to repair the install and then tried to reinstall iTunes. I'm sure the burner is working because I can play music, watch movies and all the normal stuff a DVD burner can do using Nero.
I'm guessing I need an iTunes version of 64 bit optical drive driver.
Any help would be appreciated!

I got the iTunes 7 to work on XP Pro 64bit. What I did was this:
1. Downloaded DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe
2. Installed it.
3. Created this file tree: C:\Windows\Sysnative\drivers (Easier terminology, I went into the Windows folder and created a folder named "sysnative", opened that folder and created another folder called "drivers".
4. Then I located the folder where I installed DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe ..
5. I took the file called GEARAspiWDM and COPIED IT. I DID NOT MOVE THIS FILE!!!
6. I pasted a COPY of this file into sysnative\drivers. The folder I just made.
7. I installed iTunes 7, not 7.6. 7.6 and this method won't solve the burning issue. That would require more programs and more patients.
Note, you will have to manipulate iTunes when you want to burn. The best way to do this, I found, was to simply make a playlist and right click the playlist on the left column and select burn to disk. It should act normally.

SB0090 Windows XP Pro X64 ed. driv

Hi all,
I have tried just about every driver I can find and none of them seem to work for my Audigy Sb0090 card on my Windows xp pro x64 machine.
If I run the one thats under Audigy > Soundblaster? on creatives website, it doesn't recognize that I have a sb0090. It just shows it as a A00 or something like that. I do however have sound to my speakers after installing the driver, but I do not have any sound to the front bay and my computer says that there is no driver to be installed for my "high definition audio buss".
Is there any driver available for the x64 bit version of windows? or maybe my problem isn't the driver?
Any help would be appriceated.
System specs:
Windows xp Pro x64 ed.
AMD athalon 64 x2 3.0gHz?
2gigs ram
80gig hd
Asus mobo..
Sapphire HD5600 gfx card?

Install the Vista drivers.
EAX and such will work maybe. On XP32 Vista drivers are fine (the new beta XP is better), with EAX/Directsound working. It should work in XP64 the same.

Oracle XE 11g x64 does not run. No *DBF files inside of the XE folder. Windows 7 Pro x64.

Hello everyone!
I hope you are doing well all. In my case I have some troubles by installing Oracle XE 11g on my PC. My OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.
1. I activated the Administrator mode on my PC (net user Administrator /active:yes)
2. Started the setup as Administrator. The setup process was finished successfully with no errors showed.
3. Started the Database, OracleServiceXE, OracleXETNListener and other services.
4. Tried to connect using sqlplus-> connect system ->password, what in result gave me ORA-01034 Oracle not available and ORA-27101 Shared memory realm does not exist errors.
5. Then I recognized that my C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XE folder is empty when it should be usually full with 6 DBF file.
6. I opened the cloneDBCreation.log and it contains these data:

I spent around 2 days to come to this reason and now I do not know what to do next.
My actions to resolve this problem:
1. Checked if my user has administrative rights and belongs to ora_dba. It does!
2. Turned Microsoft UAC off.
3. Set the system and local variables of ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH, TNS-ADMIN to the appropriate values in Enivornment Variables:
     - ORACLE_BASE -> C:\oraclexe
     - ORACLE_HOME -> %ORACLE_BASE%\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
     - ORACLE_SID -> XE
     - Added to PATH -> C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin;
     - TNS_ADMIN -> %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin
4. Removed Oracle XE 11g and reinstalled to another drive. No sense!
Some more errors:
1. C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\log\XE.bat.log

I understand that I need to logon as batch job. I added me to this policy in User Rights Assignments, but still I get these "DIM-00019: create service error" and "O/S-Error: (OS 1387)". And I guess just therefore my database is not starting well.

I have tried to install both of them lots of times but in each case I receive the same in my XE.bat file:
Instance created.
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1387) Unable to add or remove a member from the local group because this member does not exist.
Have checked OS 1387 error at Microsoft Support and as possible cause of the problem they give as follows:
This issue can occur if the environment has a disjointed namespace (i.e. the domain has different NetBIOS and DNS names). For example, assume that the domain has a NetBIOS name of "domain.com" and a DNS name of "domain-old.com." When users are added in the Windows UI, they are displayed in the format of domain\ComputerName. However, you notice in the error log that there was an attempt to add a computer account in the format of domain-old\ComputerName. (System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager install fails and generates ID: 4323: "A member could not be added")
Tried to find out my DNS name, but it is impossible because I don't have any domain installed and my machine is not connected to it. Some other blog (Install Oracle 11gR2 on Windows) advices to work with adding my computer account to some non-real windows domain (just for the purpose of resolving the network) as well and reinstall the database then. If I undestand it right I need minimum 2 machines for this. But I own just one, where the server is based and thought that is enough to run the database... no idea ..

Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor
======================
1. Please download the Process Monitor at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
2. Extract the zip file to Desktop.
Step 2: Clean Boot
=============
Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
4. Click "OK" to restart your computer to Selective Startup environment.
5. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
6. Check whether or not the issue still appears in this environment.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
Step 3: Collect the Information
=====================
1. Open Procmon.exe (Process Monitor).
2. Reproduce this issue.
3. After that, please click Capture in the tool bar (or directly press Ctrl+E) in Process Monitor.
4. Click Save, in the prompt window, selects “All Events”.
5. Click Browser Button (The button is right to “Path”), in the prompt window, click Desktop, type “test” (without the quotation marks) in the File Name box and press Enter.
6. Find the file, right-click on this file, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder".

W520 hangs on Windows 7 Pro x64 installation, cannot boot live CD

Hi Everyone!
I decided to reach out to the community for some intelligence that I have not been able to obtain elsewhere. Here's my story in details in case someone can find a break on any of them ...
I purchased my W520 in November, 2011 with 1 year warranty and used it without issues until last week. One morning when I started the laptop, it loaded Windows 7 Pro x64, I logged in. After loading the desktop, I locked the screen/user and stepped out for a minute. When I came back, the screen was frozen and after a few minutes of waiting I manually powered off the laptop.
Upon restart, Windows 7 would hang on the logo screen and restart in a few minutes. I was able to restart under Safe Mode, however, which enabled me to create the rescue DVD's.
I decided to re-install the OS, but the installation would hang on the Windows logo screen again. This was also attempted with all accessories (usb kbd, usb wireless mouse, and display I also tried w/o the battery) disconnected. Then I thought, that it could be a bad hdd - I tried installing XP Pro but got the BSOD with a bad hdd error code. At that point, I attached the hdd to a working PC and ran checkdisk which found no errors. The problem persisted even with unpartitioned disk and a spare hdd that I had on hand. What intrigued me was that no linux live CD could load (it would freeze on the loading screen).
After this, I flashed the BIOS to the newest version without any issues during the flash process. The Windows 7 Pro x64 installation would hang again at the usual logo screen. I also tried with different DVD source... Memtest did not show any problems either.
Then I called an IT support guy who was not experienced with the issue and took the laptop for bench testing, and after four days of back and forth the IT company was inconclusive that the issues is most likely caused by a bad BIOS.
This happened around March 21, 2013 after Windows 7 installed updates (not sure if this could be related). The weird part is that the W520 worked fine for a year and four months and when it crashed I was able to use Safe Mode, access and flash BIOS, but was unable to run new installation or live CD's.
Is there anything that I am missing? Has anyone had the same experience? What is the conclusion according to you - it is really bad BIOS chip or just a UEFI-related setting?
Thanks for reading and trying to help!

Sir:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you write "BIOS v1.40 settings that will make it possible to install Windows 7 Pro 64", but, you can download the 1.40 BIOS (which appears to be the most recent release) from this link: Device Driver File Matrix - W520 , and if you have any concerns about the BIOS settings not being appropriate, just enter the BIOS setup manager (tap the F1 key repeatedly when the laptop is booting) and select 'revert to defaults' or similar.
