Q: Does iTunes 12 upgrade break SRS iWow?

Has anyone who uses the SRS iWow iTunes plugin on their Mac upgraded to iTunes 12? I'm wondering whether it works with v12 of iTunes. An earlier iTunes upgrade (don't remember which one) broke iWow, and I'd rather not find out the hard way that the same is true for the upgrade to 12.0, at least until I can find out whether DTS will be issuing an update that fixes any issues.

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), Radeon HD 5770

    Hi the answer is yes and no. I upgraded my iTunes and iwow did not work. The menu for it was gone. I then remembered something from long ago.  Do a get info on iTunes app and turn off the 32 bit mode.  I did this and now Iwow works and is happy.

    NOT SOLVED!

     

    How does one turn off the 32 bit mode? What do I click on after Get Info? Your answer is either wrong, or you left part of the answer out.

    Don't shout (all uppercase letters is considered shouting on the Internet), "Not solved!"  It apparently did solve it to the satisfaction of the originator of this topic 2 years ago and for that version of iTunes. 

     

    Somebody else answered this recently for iTunes 12.5. You need to re-install your plugin from your archived copy of your plugin installer.

    I've tried reinstalling it several times, to no avail.

     

    After I click on Get Info, what do I do next? I see no 32- or 64-bit anything.

    I am not sure that option even exists anymore. I run an older computer so I can't check for you but I bet Apple assumes everybody has upgraded to 64bit architecture by now and that feature may no longer be an option.  You are getting info on the iTunes application icon in the Applications folder?

     

    I know I saw a topic or two about this in the past week or so and others have it working.
