iphones, itunes and vista 64

macca672 · 8 Dec 2007 at 20:19

bought an iphone today, installed itunes (latest version direct from apple website) and i get the cds cant be burned msg which is irrelevant. I then plug in my iphone and it tells me I need to uninstall and re-install the 64bit version of Itunes. i have done some searching and as far as I can tell there is no 64 bit version.

Surely this cant be right and surely people must have the same problem as me. Anyone know a fix for it? or have I just wasted my time getting one at all?

thanks in advance

ok after spending 3 hours now getting installed and network settings sorted I then find out that Virtual PC 2007 does NOT support USB connections. It doesnt even recognise the iphone as a storage device when i plug it in

looks like i will have to either fork out again for 32 bit vista or use my expensive paper weight just as a phone until apple come out with 64bit support

yeah i can use itunes to play music just not to connect my iphone.

however may have solved the issue... vmware has usb support so giving that a try at the minute

ok sorted now

VMWare does indeed have USB support and has worked a treat. Just syncing the phone now
