Same problem.
Windows 7, 64bit
I visit apple and download itunes, It downloads iTunes64Setup.exe. So their server knows my OS and version
when you install, it installs by default to the (x86) folder.
when It runs, it runs under 32 bit.
syncing is a problem with my iphone 3G. sometimes it tells me that a phone is already synced and thinks mine is a new phone, other times it sees it but the sync fails half way thru. frustrating. Have uninstalled, reinstalled and tried multiple scenarios. BUG
I upgraded to windows 7 from vista. My upgrade failed and I figured out that i needed Uninstall Itunes to complete the upgrade which i have. I am now going to attempt to install itunes after the Windows 7 upgrade and see how it goes.
Yeah, my BRAND NEW JUST OUT OF THE BOX laptop froze when I installed iTunes, 64-bit. Windows HIGHLY suggested that I install the 64-bit, so I’m pretty sure that’s what I should have done. Now I can’t get into my computer because when I type in my password, it says it’s wrong and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s correct. Since I just bought it yesterday, I think it’s going back to the store. I’m seriously considering buying the Mac I wanted in the first place.
My problem is with syncing my phone. I’m running a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on a brand new machine that has a lot of power (quad-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, etc.). When I drop new items into a playlist, often it hangs, and then crashes. The only way I’ve succeeded in getting it to sync up is to drop the items in, and quickly click on the link to bring up the iPhone itself (not the playlists or other areas), and then quickly click ’sync’.
