i'm running an 64bit edition of Windows Vista. for some reason my iPhone
will not work with my PC for some reason and i want to sync my files on my
iPhone with my PC. does anyone know how do fix this issue?

Hi,

What does Apple say about their product and the 64-bit version of Vista? It
may not be a supported path.

it says nothing about 64bit really. it says something about 32bit support. i
got iTunes working under a 64bit version of vista, just not the iTunes
phone. i just wanna know if anyone has any out of the box idea of how to fix
it. not to tell me what the specs or limitations r of the applications or
hardware. i kinda know those....

Hi Steven,

Well, like it or not, it may very well be a limitation of the hardware and
it is up to Apple to support it. Vista x64 requires signed device drivers
from device manufacturers in order for a piece of hardware to function.
These can be supplied to Microsoft during the build period of the OS so that
it is natively supported, or they can be supplied to the consumer on disk or
as a download for hardware released after the build. In either case, with
x64 they must be signed drivers (basically meaning they need to be verified
by Microsoft as compatible with this version of the OS). If Apple has not
released or created these drivers, then the device is not going to work
under x64 - period. There are no workarounds to this, either the
manufacturer has created and supports them, or they haven't. The iTunes
software works because x64 allows applications to run in 32-bit (x86) mode,
but this is not the case with device drivers - they *must* be written for
64-bit.

well, i know that, but on the iTunes web site it says that iTunes was
written for to run under 32bit systems only. it acually list it as a
requirement for vista systems.

in my opinion there are work arounds for almost anything. you just either
have to find the work around or create it yourself.

i know the limitations, sadly i just hate it when people keep telling me
the. i posted this issue in another news group as well and others are just
giving me all the limitations but no solutions or ideas, except for like one
person who tried. to bad his idea did not work. but it was worth trying.

how about we hear some "we cans" instead of "we can'ts"...

As Apple says, "32 bit systems only."

Hi,

The solution needs to come from Apple. The only possible workaround would be
for some knowledgable individual to write their own driver, then get it
signed, something that is highly unlikely.

well, i made my own device driver before, but it was more software based
than driver based. and it was for some RAM technology that i made. it works
better than DDR1 RAM, but not better than DDR2 RAM. i could always try
developing drivers another shot. its too bad that i have not really done
something like that in like 3 years or so...
