ok so 10.5.2.11 64bit is trying to use 32bit arcitecture to install 64bit files into the 32bit x86 program files directory and obviously this is like trying to take a square peg and hammer it into a round hole sure hit it hard enough and it will go in but will it ever work right....
NO NO IT WONT DAMMNIT i like useing my ipad i love it best device ever made for on the go computing but they just suck at makeing it talk to my pc i dont know of a way to even access my music files on my ipad to change delete or add them without itunes
the 10.5.2.11 installer has forced me to try all kinds of crap and to top it off it installed over the last copy of itunes that was working and now it cant see devices and i cant even uninstall the components now so i have to go buy blank dvds so i can let my computer burn a windows install disk

Cannot install it at all with Windows XP. Previous version required complete uninstall of 5 different Apple programs (iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, etc.) and manual deletion of remaining folders, and reboot, then it finally installed correctly. For version 10.5.2.11 I went through the same routine, twice, and it still fails to install. So I will try MusicBee, which someone recommended, and look for other music players.

this software is very good

I have been using since Apple launched iTunes many years bak.
- iTunes has excellent sound reproduction quality, I have yet to find another digital player that can match this.
- iTunes is very easy to use even for non-computer geeks, simple drag and drop!
- iTunes can convert very many music format on its own while adding them
- At last may god give Steve Jobs yet another life to enlighten this world with his visions even more, amen.

Since installing 10.2.1.1 I have been unable to connect my 3gs 4.2. Win 7 Pro 64. This is crap software. Previous version required completely rebuilding library. Very frustrating and time consuming. Now I can't connect the device at all. Three hours on line looking for a fix only to find a bunch of people with the same problem and nowhere to turn. Apple .... they are as pissed off as I am. How about testing this before you send it off to wreck everyone's day. Best!!

iTunes in Windows is a nightmare. It is after the infamous Real Player the biggest pile of s*** one could imagine.

The interface that other people think is so 'great' is actually quite bad, that is if you know something about interface design and don't want to annoy or trouble your users.
You see there are guidelines and conventions to guide developers, they are not be found in iTunes, though.
It does not use the theme you may have chosen, it does it's own thing and no you may not change that.
It is remarkable unresponsive and slow in almost all of it's aspects. Starting, compared to Winamp or the Windows Media Player is ridiculous. Even closing takes long. And even after closing it's services remain active. You won't need any of these three (Bonjour, iPod Helper, Apple Mobile Device) services at that point. It's also interesting that Apple was smart enough to automatically start the iPod Helper service but not the Apple Mobile Device service, which is responsible for interacting with your iPod or iPhone. So your device wont' show up, want it to show up? Great just start the service and restart iTunes, it's as 'simple' as that.

Features, right. Did you know pretty much every other media player has something like a 'Now Playing'-playlist which usually is even persisted meaning you can begin listing where you left off. Yeah, iTunes does not.

Price and Value, well its free so the price is alright. The Value though, is if you would not be force to use it, be simple not there.

The iTunes Store should also be taking into account as it's a integral part of the iTunes/iPod/iPhone experience. But I only say that, all the stuff you can get there, can be gotten elsewhere and [a lot] cheaper.

And for emphasis: I wholeheartedly conclude that iTunes is a [big] pile of s***!

P.S. As a software developer, let me tell you this:
I would definitely NOT want my name show up in the 'credits'.
I would definitely NOT put worked on iTunes for Windows in my CV, that simply can't be done without an apology and an long explanation.

I downloaded version 10.1 and installed, well it did not perform as was announced, , It took over every single format for audio or video, and then I did uninstall it, and bingo, it did erase so many things that the computer could not play no even windows star or any program even NERO was unable to play music, to me is the worse ever expirience, Now I have to reformat the drive and install everething again, I will never try a CRAP like this again.

As much as I used to love this program, in the last couple of years it's turned from a cute, cuddly little potbelly pig into the hog that ate Hoboken. Download size is now 168MB and counting - good grief! - and the program installs at least three (three!!!) resident executables that boot with your computer and sit there hogging cpu cycles and connecting to the internet whether you are running ITunes or not. At this point, I won't even install iTunes on a netbook or older system and don't even like running it on my new quad core. As a result I've been looking for a good replacement for several years now, sadly without any success - that is, until this month when a new version of MusicBee was released which is, simply put, awesome.

The best feature of iTunes has always been ease of use and intuitive design (and for some people, integration with iTunes store and ipod). MusicBee does not, of course, have integration with the iTunes store and iTunes is still slightly better than MusicBee in the ease of use area, but in my opinion MusicBee beats iTunes in pretty much every other area. Music Bee is small, light on resources, very easy to use, has pretty much every feature iTunes has (except iTunes store connection) plus many additional features that iTunes does NOT have.

If you have and ipod and/or buy most of your music and tv shows from the iTunes store, you will probably want to stick with iTunes. If not, I highly recommend you check out MusicBee.

It seems to drain my memory crazy now, slow stalls a little. But love it otherwise

itunes keeps getting better and better, and this update is just another great update. one question though...it said that there would be a new "dark" backround option as a new feature. How do i apply this option?

ITunes is just awesome,simply magnificent..........
Doctors gives medicine for treatment........Music and Videos need Itunes for their performance

I downloaded this twice -- with the same result. It will not instal. can't instal the dll file in directory and won't complete. turned off the firewalls. same result. Trojan horses detected. Not happy.

this will will work with windows 7 RC. if you are using an iphone you need to download the apple version, run it and select repair.

when is going to be a itunes version for 64bit XP windows?

Its a big improvement from previous versions..But the main problem I keep running into is that because its such a resource hog, I'm constantly getting a connection timeout error and unable to manuevuer through the site.

Unfortunately, I deleted the prior version before trying to install this one. Now I can't install it. I hear it's good but I'm unable to find our myself :(

Have tried a few times to download this onto Vista and keep getting an error message that the software's certificate is invalid and cannot be installed. The download then gets deleted from the Apple download folder. When is Apple going to learn how to do upgrades with a reasonable file size?

I Have a NokiaXpressMusic Mobile Phone and I found it hard to Put songs on without getting them all muffled.. If Yo are going through the same Thing, Your more than welcome to e-mail me, You will probably receive a E-mail Like, one day after... if not, 1 hour or even minutes.. as i am like ADDICTED To my laptop. i just transfered them from limewire/ cd's/ other software and put them on my itunes and onto my phone (if this confuses u i will help) Thanks... well, u thank me? Naaaah, C ya! Byyye x

Very buggy. Wait for the next update. Not impressed.

The GUI is beautiful and clean, unlike Winamp and the other competition. It is very easy to use, has excellent features like rating, playlists, sorting your music, displaying artwork, browsing, and more. Completely free and I only wish they had a Linux version as well. I would never even think about getting another Music Library program.

It's a great application which is very user friendly and most importantly is a must-have for ipod-owners.

Though, If WMP started working with ipod I am not sure I would stil be using itunes.....

It v6.0.4.2 not v6.0.5

Its a great media center, with a great interface.

And of course its probably the best option for maintaining your iPod, even with all those other softwares out there.

Its only problem is that its a little bit of a hog on resources and it can be slow at times.

And i really dont like how they try really hard to get you to use iTunes. Everywhere I look they want to show iTunes Library when i startup...bahhhhh.

Its very easy to edit tags in this program...A lot easier than say, WINAMP.
