A solution for iTunes install problems

I upgraded to the latest ver of iTunes and immediately had ALL the problems posted all over the 'net.
The following is what worked for me.
BACKUP!!! Set a Restore Point. Back up your REGISTRY. It is critical that you back it up beforehand and use caution while cleaning it. Please do this in case everything goes T. U.
Remove all references to iTunes, iPod and Quick Time. There are literally thousands and you must get rid of all of them.
Find, download, install a copy of jv16 Power Tools.
Then:
1. BACKUP! Set Restore Point! Back up your Registry! Did I mention backing up?
1a. Be very careful cleaning out the Registry. Take your time. Go slowly. Make sure that what you delete is only iTunes-related. Check twice before deleting. Take. Your. Time.
1b. The Registry is your PCs mind; do not scramble it. You will be sad.
2. Using jv16s Software Manager, uninstall iTunes, iPod and Quick Time.
3. Using jv16s Registry Finder, one at a time, search for and delete ALL references to iPod, iTunes, Quick Time and Apple Computer (BE CAREFUL; it will give you references to various 'applets" and "appletalk"; do NOT delete those. Only Apple Computer stuff.)
4. Using Microsofts Search function, search for all remaining references to iTunes, iPod, Apple Computer (leave applets alone) and most importantly-Quick Time.
5. When you are certain that everything that says Apple Computer, Apple, iPod, iTunes and Quick Time exists no more on your PC, Reboot.
6. Go to www.old-software.com and download an old copy of iTunes. The one that finally worked for me was iTunes v 6.0.5
7. Install an old version of iTunes. DO NOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF iTUNES! Thats what caused the problems in the first place.
8. Reboot.
Even though you previously "uninstalled" iTunes, probably using the Add Remove Programs application in Control Panel, there remains behind thousands of pieces, parts and references to iTunes and Quick Time, in the Registry, TEMP files, Documents and Settings (Application Data and Local Settings), in Windows/system32 and a hundred other places. You gotta get rid of it all.
Quick Time seems to be the main culprit, but in the end I had to get rid of all traces of all of the Apple applications before I could install again and get it to work.
It took me 3 days to figure out this procedure but once I did, it took only an hour to do it.
I've seen a couple other procedures recently posted here that look good. If you are uncomfortable with going into the Registry, try one of those others first.
And fer cryin' out loud, Apple. Yank the latest version of iTunes off your site. I did a Google search for "iTunes installation problems" and came up with 700,000 hits. Do ya think you might have a problem?
  Windows XP   Try testing your upgrades before releasing them!

Im trying your method right now, when im finished ill let you know how it worked out. I agree with your comment on apple needing to pull the latest version and get a version that actually works.

  • Apple solution to iTunes install problem - More needed from Apple

    Apple has published a fix for the problem arising from attempts to install the latest iTunes upgrade at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3074.
    In it they suggest the issue may be caused by a bad installation of a version of Microsoft's .NET Framework.
    Find this somewhat preposterous for the simple reason that all was well until the attempt to load the new upgrade of iTunes.  For Apple's suggestion to hold true it can only mean that none of my other applications make any use of MS.NET Framework, which I very much doubt.
    Performed the fix for Windows7 prescribed by Apple, namely downloaded and ran Microsoft's .NET Framework taking the 'Repair' option when prompted. When Repair completed successfully you have to shut down and restart Windows to make the repaired software available.  Did this and on restart lo and behold the R6034 message appeared again.
    Did a search of the Registry for 'R6034' but not found.
    Being unsure what was issuing the message deleted iTunes and restarted the system.
    Again lo and behold the R6034 message appeared again.
    Fortunately had been away from my computer for several weeks, and as the only upgrade actioned since my return was for iTunes carried out a System Restore.  This got rid of the R6034 message, everything worked fine, and when I shut down Microsoft automatically reinstalled all its upgrades after the Restore point.
    Then moved to put back the iTunes upgrade prior to the current one.  ITunes stopped me in my tracks by halting the reinstall because "A later version of the program had been installed". Presume this was because iTunes detected from its records that I had actioned the latest upgrade
    As I see the iTunes upgrade as the problem, I'm hoping firstly that someone from Apple will read this and:
    1     provide more support than it has to date; and
    2     allow those who want to pass on the upgrade reinstall the previous version of ITunes.
    Cheers.

    Intresting notes... When you download album artwork from iTunes it really doesn't add it to the MP3 track, it stores it elsewhere and assoicates it internally some how to the album. Where as adding a artwork in through the actual file will change the size of your MP3 track, by embedding the artwork into it so that other apps (like windows media) can see them.
    That would be an interesting find if that is indeed the case.... Furthermore if that solves the problem, than apple should have an easy fix on thier hands.
    However, since most of my music is direct downloads from iTunes and has the artwork directly embedded into the music files like I mentioned above that might be why I've never encountered the issues.... As I found out about this quirk a while back, because some of the tracks on the PC or on my iPod would never show the album cover before...
    Hopefully someone else with the same problem can help confirm this possible solution!

  • Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

    Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

    This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
    I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
    Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

  • Does anybody have a solution for the NAT problem?

    Is somebody's application or Applet able to play any RTP stream behind a NAT Router? Can anybody establish any kind of connection / broadcasting between two subnets? I've got my RTP-Transmitter@public IP (using RTPManager...SendStream.start()), and I try to receive the stream from my local network which is behind a router (DHCP: 192.168....).
    I read forums, newsgroups, looked for any solution for days all over the web but I've found nothing. Zero.
    What's the secret? Any hints?
    Best regards from Munich / Germany,

    Hi
    I have the same problem.
    I have one appletTransmitter that capture video from webcam and transmit it to other client on internet.
    I try to transmit medialocator from appletTransmitter to servlet1 and then save MedialLocator as servlet attribute, then other client can connect to servlet2 that send saved MediaLocator to appletClient.
    APPLETTRANSMITTER:
    URL url=null;
    MediaLocator media=new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
    try{
    url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/servlet1");
    catch(MalformedURLException mue){mue.printStackTrace();}
    URLConnection conn=null;
    try{
    conn = url.openConnection();
    catch(IOException ioe){ioe.printStackTrace();}
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    OutputStream os=null;
    ObjectOutputStream oos=null;
    InputStream in=null;
    ObjectInputStream iin=null;
    MediaLocator mResp=null;
    String r=null;
    try{
    os=conn.getOutputStream();
    oos=new ObjectOutputStream(os);
    oos.writeObject(media);
    //oos.writeObject("Prova Servlet");
    oos.flush();
    catch(IOException io){io.printStackTrace();}
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cn){cn.printStackTrace();}
    SERVLET1
    ObjectInputStream objin = new ObjectInputStream(request.getInputStream());
    MediaLocator ml =null;
    try{
    ml = (MediaLocator) objin.readObject();
    context.setAttribute("media",ml);
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    {e.printStackTrace()}
    But on servlet1 there is a ClassNotFoundException: MediaLocator
    What do we think about the solution and exception problem?

  • One solution for 'iTunes has stopped working' message

    This worked in my case for iTunes 10.5 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 running 32-bit Vista. Symptoms started after I had to re-install it. Suddenly, whenever I tried to dl anything from the store, the dl would hit 100%, then I'd get the error message and DEP would then shut down the program. Upon re-starting, the dl wouldn't be in my apps list. (However, the actual dl WAS in my iTunes folder -- it's just that iTunes couldn't 'see' it.)
    I followed all all -- and I mean ALL -- the Apple guides over the course of 2 days with no success, even after numerous re-installs. Also tried every obsure suggestion I came across in the forums here -- and there were a lot!
    What finally worked for me were the suggestions at this link:
    http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/87249-unable-install-latest-version-program-vi sta.html
    Following the suggestions there, I discovered uninstalled 'debris' residing in the App Data\Local and App Data\Roaming folders, specifically two Apple folders with content. I manually deleted these. These locations aren't mentioned in the Apple guide to manually uninstalling your iTunes. (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923)
    I also discovered debris throughout the registry which I removed manually with regedit. (Make backups of your registry before you go rummaging around in there! The usual warnings apply...)
    I also found two Quicktime files residing in the main Windows directory. (Ver 10.5 no longer installs Quicktime and I had un-installed my previous versions) I don't think these made a difference but 'off with their heads' anyway.  (^-~)
    BTW, all of this occurs after I used Revo Uninstaller in moderate mode. So even it didn't catch all the leftover debris. (I'm not brave enough to try it on a more aggressive setting...)
    Thought I pass this on in hopes it saves someone some grief....

    iTunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.
    I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142.  After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5
    I have decided to do nothing for now.  Seems people are putting hours into trying to fix it.  I was going to uninstall and reinstall but seems that isn;t working for to many people.
    How do we get some help from apple? 
    Anyone have any answers???  APPLE HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, chau.satish.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are receiving error 11556 when attempting to connect to the iTunes Store.  Here are the steps for this specific error that I would suggest going through.  
    "Error 11556"
    This alert occurs when iTunes is trying to do something not allowed by the iTunes Store in that country.
    The most common example of this is trying to sign in while limited to iTunes U by Parental Controls.
    For more information, see the steps from iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store.
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, make sure that the iTunes Store is not disabled in Parental controls.  
    Use Parental Controls in iTunes to set content restrictions

  • Found a possible solution for iTunes constantly reopening

    My iTunes kept reopening every time I closed it - like 20-30 times in a row, with me quitting, force quitting, etc., even as my force quit window was up. I would force quit the application but it's logo wouldn't disappear. Searching around on these forums I poked around a bit and figured out that when I hid my RAC (Red Alarm Clock widget, which works with itunes, though isn't constantly playing), I could quit without the icon popping right back up. So if you're having this problem you might try hiding (you don't have to delete it, just move it from the main dashboard) any widgets that work with iTunes.

    For a more systematic approach see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  • IPod Touch stopped working after i upgraded it from iOS4.3.3 to iOS6. Now even if i restart my iPod it shows a iTunes symbol followed by a upward arrow mark and a USB symbol. I cannot find any solution for this particular problem in Help section.

    I tried to upgrade my iPod from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 6 through iTunes. As soon as it completed the download of the 840 MB file, it said that my iPod is being restored. But after a considerable amount of time it said my iPod could not be restored and stopped. Now my iPod screen is just displaying a iTunes symbol followed by an upward arrow mark and then a USB symbol.
    iTunes has stopped to detect my iPod anymore. I tried to update iTunes 10.7 as requested in the website support page. But if I check for updates in iTunes it is detecting the available updates but not updating it when i click on the update button.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • CORRECT SOLUTION FOR THE APPSTORE PROBLEM

    CORRECT SOLUTION (by AppleTeam)
    1- Uninstall the old version of itunes you have (or just uninstall iTunes if you are already running 10.4.0.80
    2- Uninstall Quicktime also
    3- Uninstall Apple software update
    4- Uninstall Apple mobile device support
    5- Uninstall Bonjour
    6- Uninstall Apple application support
    (I would shutdown wait 20 seconds then fire up the computer at this point and then come back and install itunes)
    7- Reinstall iTunes 10.4.0.80
    Apple Tech said you HAVE to uninstall in this order. After I did this, the App Store started working correctly.

    Thanks for the recommendation of the pad. I guess it
    will deplete the battery life quicker.
    I am wonder, the heat problem, is it a APPLE's fault?
    No, as Guitaristguy313 stated, the heat problem exist in most (or all?) Core Duo laptops, whether they are Apple branded or Sony branded or Dell branded. The MacBook is not running warmer than another Core Duo based laptop.
    So it's apparently the normal operating temperature of Core Duo laptops.
    That's not too surprising considering that Intel document its Core Duo to be in normal operating temperature if the cores of the CPU don't run higher than 100°C, and 100°C is a very high temperature.
    Hopefully MacBooks Core Duo's cores generally don't run higher than 85°C, but while within specs according to Intel, it's still very high so it's not surprising that the notebook shell temperature is high also (according to a test on a website, the shell can reach 50°C when the Macbook is used intensively).
    So if you really want to have a culprit for the high temperature of the Macbook (and in fact also other Core Duo notebooks), it would be Intel.

  • Itunes install problems.

    After installing i-tunes it refuses to open, an error notice appears and it stops the process. In addition once installed if i go into 'my computer' my C: drive and the CD drive have both disappeared? Can you help. I have restored the computer and re-installed the software twice and no anti-virus software is there to cause an problem.

    The computer is indeed a Packard Bell, and a yellow exclamation mark appears next to the C: drive in the device manager.
    for some reason, i'm only seeing Packard Bell code 41 reports nowadays from folks in the UK or Europe ... the previous two that i can recall were from Liverpool and somewhere else in England.
    okay, the Packard Bell code 41s are typically caused by a device filter conflict on the PC. here's the best place to start with one of those:
    iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
    ... but if she would prefer to spend less time in the registry, there are some slightly more crude (but tried and trusted) techniques we can try. (there's guided help available for them from Microsoft, too.) post back to let us know if she'd like to run through those too, Amy.
