64 bit version on iTunes?

dflipb,

Is the file you downloaded iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64setup.exe?

Thank you,

Nathan C.

I get the same answer when I try both, but that screen grab is from iTunes64setup

dflipb,

Delete both, and clear the cache on any download managers you may have installed, and try downloading iTunesSetup.exe again.

Hope this helps,

Nathan C.

iTunesSetup.exe or the 64-bit version?

dflipb,

If you want to run the 32-bit version, then iTunesSetup.exe.

However, Windows XP 64-bit editions aren't supported.

Thank you,

Nathan C.

Ok did what you said, and it still didn't work. I downloaded both (they finally put up an option so you can pick what version you want to download, and both say they are looking for Machine32!

ARGH it is so annoying.

Yes, you are. By Apple anyway.

Fortunately, some of us figured out that the "64-bit in Vista only" restriction is crap. You can install iTunes 7.6 with a little trickery and it works JUST FINE. I should know since I'm using it. It even syncs with my iPhone just dandily.

The only possible issue you may run across is CD-burning. Everything else in the installer is XP x64 compatible, including the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Just check the link, yo:

You can use that pre-assembled package, or you can check the next page for a link which will tell you how to make the installer work on XP x64.

**** folks new here, but not that new to itunes but when I loaded music into Itunes it doubles the amount of mb for the file by ten and uses up all my hard drive. For example one song that I have stored on my external drive says song is 3.59mb, but when I look at it in itunes or on the hard drive that itunes copied it to says it is 35.9mb.

Ok so for the next question, I thought that itunes didnt copy the file unless you checked the box to do so, mine is unchecked and it countinually does so. So now I have wasted 60g (not counting when it mutiplies its well over 100g) of space as opposed to 30g which is what I have in music.

I have many times tried to uni and reinstall itunes but I can not get it to work right. I am downloading 7.6 My computer is running 32 bit vista even know they advertised 64 on the stickers.

I need help, want to load some new audio books but cant in fear of losing everthing on my Ipod now, and that would suck before I head out on my trip.

Thanks for the help

rescue.tech,

What is your import settings set to in Edit-> Preferences -> Advanced -> Import?

It sounds like you are converting .wma files and importing them as .AIFF

.AIFF is an uncompressed format similar to .WAV and will take up approximately 10 MB/minute of the song.

AAC (aka MPEG-4 Audio) is about 1 MB/minute. MP3 is also about 1MB/minute but some say the audio quality is not as clear for the same file space.

Hope this helps,

Nathan C.

Nathan,


Thanks for the reply I will need to reload to try and see whats it set at. 10mb sounds like the problem I am having. I will try then post back what I find.

Thanks again

Your the man that was it. I switched it to aac it was wma and now it only was about 3mb per song.

Thanks a lot for you time to read thru the posts and give your advice.

I downloaded the newest version last night AGAIN and it still is installing it to the Program Files (x86) and it's looking for "...Machine32/..."

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????????????????????????

dflipb,

When you saved the file, what was the name of the file?

Did you clear your browser's cache? If you are using a download accelerator, did you disable that?

Thank you,

Nathan C.

Yes I cleared both microsoft ie, and firefox casche.

Quit them both, and restarted my machine.

The file I downloaded was iTunes64Setup.exe

I am not using a download excelerator.
