Itunes Download 64-bit Windows 7

[Danny Hosford]

Ihave uninstalled and reinstalled many many times with 64 bit itunes. It shows in task manager as 32 bit version. Therefore it will not connect to my ipod. Receiving the error message of Ipod is not compatible with this version, need to uninstall and reinstall 64bit version. I have Windows 8.1 & a 5th Gen Ipod touch, everything worked fine til an update at the end of January. HELP Please!? A computer professional spent 12 hrs working on this and it still is not rectified.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.

Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").

(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi again.)

It's my exeptcde that all Windows apps the installer has an 32 and 64 bit version and the installer picks what version to use based on what hardware Windows is saying is installed. So if Windows 7 in runing 32 bit mode then the the installer will put in the 32 bit version even if you have an 64bit computer.

It wounf let add as a guy who pefers making an Computer for running Windows I never have that kind of iusse becuase I always konw I have 64 Bit Windows on 4 bit hardware vs 32 bit Windows on 64bit hardware like permade the PCs from places like HP offen are.

Like I was saying earlier, just change the install path from "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" to "C:\Program Files\iTunes" and the issue will fix itself, iTunes will just kind of beleive that it is a 64-bit program and all files will be installed to the correct location

The 64-bit version of iTunes contains a mix of 32-bit & 64-bit components. There is no choosing the install folder. If it hasn't installed properly I'd suggest trying the steps in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and starting over.

The complaint is from the SetupAdmin.exe file that simply invokes the msi files. You don't need to use this file, it provides one-click installation. You can install the component MSI files individually...

... except the iTunes64.msi because it is marked to restrict the file to OS versions that correspont to Vista or later. Use an MSI file editor (Microsoft's Orca MSI editor is free) to set the restriction to an OS version corresponding to XP x64 or later to allow the file to install.

From a Google search it seems that some iTunes versions complain on startup that they are incorrectly installed on XP x64, and then operate correctly anyway. The message is harmless albeit annoying but reinstalling does not resolve the issue.

first make sure you have sp3. (the following worked for me on a x64 vista platform.) there are two program files folders in a x64 system. the x86 for 32-bit apps and the x64. generally you're better off with the 32-bit v and make sure it gets installed in the correct folder. also check the compatibility - right click on the itunes .exe file and select properties from the bottom of drop down list - 3rd tab should be it - select the xp w/sp3 mode. you might have to play with it here and there as there are not many apps that are coded exclusivey for a x64 environment and then you have the apple v windows issue. if possible ($$$) and hw permitting go w/win 7 for the w.

macOS, originally Mac OS X, previously shortened as OS X, is an operating system developed and marketed by Apple since 2001. It is the primary operating system for Apple's Mac computers. Within the market of desktop and laptop computers, it is the second most widely used desktop OS, after Microsoft Windows and ahead of all Linux distributions, including ChromeOS.

Mac OS X succeeded classic Mac OS, the primary Macintosh operating system from 1984 to 2001. Its underlying architecture came from NeXT's NeXTSTEP, as a result of Apple's acquisition of NeXT, which also brought Steve Jobs back to Apple.

The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released on March 24, 2001. All releases from Mac OS X Leopard onward (except for OS X Lion) are UNIX 03 certified.[8][9] The derivatives of macOS are Apple's other operating systems: iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and audioOS.

A prominent part of macOS's original brand identity was the use of Roman numeral X, pronounced "ten", as well as code naming each release after species of big cats, and later, places within California.[10] Apple shortened the name to "OS X" in 2011 and then changed it to "macOS" in 2016 to align with the branding of Apple's other operating systems, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.[11] After sixteen distinct versions of macOS 10, macOS Big Sur was presented as version 11 in 2020, and every subsequent version has also incremented the major version number, similarly to classic Mac OS and iOS.

macOS has supported three major processor architectures, beginning with PowerPC-based Macs in 1999. In 2006, Apple transitioned to the Intel architecture with a line of Macs using Intel Core processors. In 2020, Apple began the Apple silicon transition, using self-designed, 64-bit Arm-based Apple M series processors on the latest Macintosh computers.[12] As of 2023[update], the most recent release of macOS is macOS 14 Sonoma.

The heritage of what would become macOS had originated at NeXT, a company founded by Steve Jobs following his departure from Apple in 1985. There, the Unix-like NeXTSTEP operating system was developed, before being launched in 1989. The kernel of NeXTSTEP is based upon the Mach kernel, which was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University, with additional kernel layers and low-level user space code derived from parts of FreeBSD[13] and other BSD operating systems.[14] Its graphical user interface was built on top of an object-oriented GUI toolkit using the Objective-C programming language.

Throughout the 1990s, Apple had tried to create a "next-generation" OS to succeed its classic Mac OS through the Taligent, Copland and Gershwin projects, but all were eventually abandoned.[15] This led Apple to acquire NeXT in 1997, allowing NeXTSTEP, later called OPENSTEP, to serve as the basis for Apple's next generation operating system.[16]This purchase also led to Steve Jobs returning to Apple as an interim, and then the permanent CEO, shepherding the transformation of the programmer-friendly OPENSTEP into a system that would be adopted by Apple's primary market of home users and creative professionals. The project was first codenamed "Rhapsody" before officially being named Mac OS X.[17][18]

The letter "X" in Mac OS X's name refers to the number 10, a Roman numeral, and Apple has stated that it should be pronounced "ten" in this context. However, it is also commonly pronounced like the letter "X".[19][20] The iPhone X, iPhone XR and iPhone XS all later followed this convention.

Previous Macintosh operating systems (versions of the classic Mac OS) were named using Arabic numerals, as with Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9.[21][19] Until macOS 11 Big Sur, all versions of the operating system were given version numbers of the form 10.x, with this going from 10.0 up until 10.15; starting with macOS 11 Big Sur, Apple switched to numbering major releases with numbers that increase by 1 with every major release.

The first version of Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server 1.0, was a transitional product, featuring an interface resembling the classic Mac OS, though it was not compatible with software designed for the older system. Consumer releases of Mac OS X included more backward compatibility. Mac OS applications could be rewritten to run natively via the Carbon API; many could also be run directly through the Classic Environment with a reduction in performance.

The consumer version of Mac OS X was launched in 2001 with Mac OS X 10.0. Reviews were variable, with extensive praise for its sophisticated, glossy Aqua interface, but criticizing it for sluggish performance.[22] With Apple's popularity at a low, the maker of FrameMaker, Adobe Inc., declined to develop new versions of it for Mac OS X.[23] Ars Technica columnist John Siracusa, who reviewed every major OS X release up to 10.10, described the early releases in retrospect as "dog-slow, feature poor" and Aqua as "unbearably slow and a huge resource hog".[22][24][25]

Apple rapidly developed several new releases of Mac OS X.[26] Siracusa's review of version 10.3, Panther, noted "It's strange to have gone from years of uncertainty and vaporware to a steady annual supply of major new operating system releases."[27] Version 10.4, Tiger, reportedly shocked executives at Microsoft by offering a number of features, such as fast file searching and improved graphics processing, that Microsoft had spent several years struggling to add to Windows Vista with acceptable performance.[28]

As the operating system evolved, it moved away from the classic Mac OS, with applications being added and removed.[29] Considering music to be a key market, Apple developed the iPod music player and music software for the Mac, including iTunes and GarageBand.[30] Targeting the consumer and media markets, Apple emphasized its new "digital lifestyle" applications such as the iLife suite, integrated home entertainment through the Front Row media center and the Safari web browser. With the increasing popularity of the internet, Apple offered additional online services, including the .Mac, MobileMe and most recently iCloud products. It later began selling third-party applications through the Mac App Store.

Newer versions of Mac OS X also included modifications to the general interface, moving away from the striped gloss and transparency of the initial versions. Some applications began to use a brushed metal appearance, or non-pinstriped title bar appearance in version 10.4.[31] In Leopard, Apple announced a unification of the interface, with a standardized gray-gradient window style.[32][33]
