Hi,

Most 32-bit software will install to a 64-bit system and run in 32-bit
mode without issue. The problems occur when the software includes device
drivers, such as the iTunes software, as these must be signed, compatible
64-bit drivers or the software, even if it can be installed, will not
operate properly.


There is now a specific 64-bit version of iTunes. You can download it from
the Apple site if you are running Vista 64.

Hi,

If I recall correctly, Itunes' software is not 64-bit compatible. Until
they
release a version that is, you cannot use it on an x64 system.

Perhaps you can help me. This is a different issue. I downloaded
Itunes
and
it said it was not installed correctly on my Vista 64 operating
system. I
reinstalled it a total of three times and even did a "repair" install
from
Microsofts "install/delete" control. Now it will not install at all.
Any
ideas?
