I have a 32-bit, Windows Vista machine, and updated to iTunes 12.1.2 earlier today. I didn't know anything about its possibly causing problems before reading these messages. So far, it has not caused any problems. What kind of problems should I be expecting? I always wait until I get the prompt when logging into iTunes that there is an update before updating. That has always served me well, except for the issue several updates ago that would give the error that some dll file couldn't be found. .

I doubt it will do any harm. I found the info about the 64 bit older video cards by searching the web. If I had a 32 bit machine, I might have called Apple before updating to make sure.

I didn’t gget a message saying I should update, because my video card is not all that old. But, I think this could be a tricky thing if one simply checks the update status in iTunes and goes ahead and updates. I wonder why Apple causes it to be in the update cue when it might possibly do harm to future update possibilities? Interesting.

Thanks, Richard. I googled this after you wrote and found this. This iTunes installer is only for Windows 64 bit systems that are unable to support iTunes video playback requirements on older and low end video cards. Only use this installer if you were directed to this page by the below alert message from iTunes 12.1 or later. Using this installer on an incorrect system may prevent your system from getting the correct iTunes installer in the future. If you were directed to this page by an alert from iTunes, follow these steps: 1.Download the iTunes installer to your Windows desktop 2.Locate the iTunes64Setup.exe and double click to run the installer 3.Install as you normally would. Your iTunes library will not be affected.

I Didn’t. It says that it is for 64 bit systems with old video cards. I have a 64 bit system, but I don’t think it is an older video card, but I went ahead and updated anyway. No difference to me so far.

The subject says it all. If you have updated to the new iTunes 12.1.2, did you experience any problems with the new version?
