itunes is running in 64-bit mode and will not let me switch to 32- bit mode

I guess 64-bit mode requires MAC OS X 10.7 and I only have 10.6.8 so somehow i need to switch back to 32-bit mode and the instructions it gives me to do so don't make any sense. help!

Mac OS X (10.6.8), itunes

I'm having exactly the same problem as jfdncsu and I disagree with your assertion MJ, this is all the same topic. I'm on an iMac8,1 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X 10.6.7 and iTunes10.4 and I can't launch iTunes. I get the same message as the other two and if I follow the instructions given to run iTunes in 32-bit mode I can't find the box it says will exist in the iTunes Info window. Anyone seen the problem and resolved it?

You are not using Lion as the original poster.


You will not see the 32/64 bit option unless you are using Lion.


If you are using 10.6.8 or lower you will not see the option. I already noted this in an earlier part of this thread.


If you are having problems then it is suggested that you post your own topic and give the specifics of your hardware and system, and version of iTunes.

At Mike Johnson12's suggestion I posted my problem separately at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3227254?answerId=15801854022#15801854022 . The only response I have received there so far is from another person who has experienced the same problem you & I have. That makes at least 3 of us. Please feel free to hijack my post there if you think it might help!

hmmmm! still can't find a solution for this! have tried the moving out of apps folder and back solution, also doing a thorough clean of itunes (rm'ing the app, and preferences). the first time i start up, i get the message but then not on subsequent opens - the first time i get the message and have to quit then restart


very annoying!!


i was also getting this on my home machine until i upgraded to lion. no potential lion upgrade at work, though
