Ok I am running windows7-64 and its working great so far, but itunes refuses to work. I ran the installer for windows 64 version 8.01 and that went fine, but when itunes starts it never shows up. Its running but never shows up. (crashes?) It takes several minutes to end the process in task manager. Anybody else have this issue?

If you remember Vista used to have major issues with iTunes when you had x64 Vista. I wouldn't expect Apple to support this until Beta 1 :(

Yeah I run Vista32 so I was not sure of the status of how itunes runs on vista64. Is it broken on vista 64 as well?

I had x64 installed and iTunes 801 x64 ran fine. When I connected my iPhone it said I had to install the 64 bit version though. I installed x86 then iTunes 801 x86 and it worked. I then I installed x64 again, installed 801 x64 and it works. Only difference is that the second time I did it, I was not using my iTunes library off my NAS box... Seems to me that an existing library is a bad thing but using a new on works fine. Not tried an upgrade from. Vista x64 though where it works fine.

Just my 2 cents worth...

Find something else in the mean time. A lot of people even said Apple was personally derailing Vista by not even supporting the OS at RTM. They have a lot of clout with that little crap that's getting bigger by the versions. Also, its beta, so not surprised you are seeing compatible issues.

You are talking vista64 right?

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple ever updated iTunes to work with Windows 7. After all, they could then claim that Windows is "broken," and it's one more reason why you should "Get a Mac."

Let's not forget that even after Apple shipped iTunes for Vista, they still refused to tie it into DWM.

I only use itunes to listen to podcasts and update my iphone. I can always boot into vista. For music playback I use foobar. I just wanted to listen to a podcast and wanted to got itunes working. The only reason I use itunes for podcasts is because I listen to the Adam Carolla show. The show is normally divided up into like 13 separate parts with the begining of the show at the bottom and the end at top. Many programs will not let you create a custom playlist with podcasts and change the order so its endlessly annoying to watch a show that is posted to the rss in "reverse." I wish they would just post the show as 1 file and be done with it!

iTunes 8.01 works perfectly fine for me on Windows 7 64 bit. I don't have a problem with it loading at all.

Try running it in Vista compatibility mode. That usually works for most apps. I've also turned off UAC, although I doubt that's the problem for any of you guys.

I wonder whats going wrong with me then. I guess I will try to reinstall the OS and try again. Vista compatibility mode is a no go. :(

EDIT: Are you using the 32bit install or 64 bit install?

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
