Backup iTunes podcast download status for Windows XP reinstall

I'm preparing for a long overdue reinstall of Windows XP. I use iTunes to downoad oodles of podcasts; I have many episodes which I've not yet downloaded and won't until I've completed the reinstall. That is, their download status is still set to "Get".
My question is: How can I backup the status of my individual podcast episodes?
I know how to backup/export the subscriptions (OPML) and the already downloaded files of course. Does iTunes have a file (XML? .config? ...) or some metadata that I can hook into so that I don't have to re-download everything once my reinstall is done?

Same problem for Windows 7

ITunes is telling me to install Quicktime to play my movies, but the download is for Windows 7 and I have 8. What's the solution?

iTunes says I need to install Quicktime. When I clicked on MORE INFO, the Quicktime download is for Windows 7/Vista. I have Windows 8. I can play all movies except Dirty Dancing, altho I can play the extras... Do I need to install Quicktime?

Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is required for activation, or you have a phone that was probably hacked to unlock it.
A) Do you have a SIM in the phone?
B) Where EXACTLY did you get the phone?

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried the suggestion to delete existing iTunes before installing the updated version.
I receive a message that a file is in use when I try to delete iPOD.
I started Task Manager to stop services for iTunes as suggested but it is not listed.
How do I install iTunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit?

I got the same message about the network resource that I can't access. The only difference is that I couldn't install Itunes 10.3 because I can't remove the old version of Bonjour. I couldn't get rid of anything in add/remove programs, but I went into my program folders and deleted everything that had to do with Itunes. I also ran a Windows Cleanup Utiltiy. Nothing will work. I still can't remove Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, MobileMe Control Panel, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Apple Software Update in add/remove programs because they are on a network resource that I can't access even though I deleted them from the program folders. This is very frustrating!

Yes, turning off McAfee privacy service and any web accelerator software you have, should let the download begin.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.

ITunes 11.1.4 for Window 64x cannot be installed.

Pop-up Window display: cannot start Apple Mobile Device, but I checked Services (Local), status is started. I cannot update iTunes through Apple Update, so I uninstall the older version of iTunes and download the latest version; then I run installer and the former pop-up window appears. Please help to solve the problem. I also encounter runtime error R6034.

Hello there,
It sounds like you are wanting to be able to install iTunes again, but are getting error messages when you try to install it. I would try the steps outlined in the following article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
It will involve uninstalling all of the associated applications for iTunes as well for a clean install.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

ITunes 11.1.4 for windows has installation or upgrade problems

anyone knows why iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows cannot be upgraded and it always hit problem with the message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started....." when the upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 aborted half way with the message. I tried downloading manually the iTunes 11.1.4 for windoes package from Apple website and tried performing the installation or upgrade manually form my Windows computer. But it failed everytime with the same error message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started...." I tried on two different Windows computers (one laptop on Windows Vista and the one Desktop on Windows 7) and they all failed also. Please help if anyone knows what is wrong. Thanks.
BTW, after the failed upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 for windows, I cannot use iTunes anymore with the following error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." But reinstalling iTunes 11.1.4 always failed. So I am in a catch-22 situation. no way to proceed with iTunes on my Windows computers.

After instailling iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows, my system slows down to a crawl

After downloading and installing iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows XP Professional, my system slows down horribly, and I cannot seem to find out why. Rebooting before installing this version of iTunes did not take long at all, yet after installing iTunes, rebooting takes at least 4 times as long, and the system runs very slowly/poorly. What has caused this problem? I have other friends who have HP Pavilion laptops using Windows XP who are using iTunes and iPods with no problems at all. I have restored my system back to the state before installing iTunes in SAFE MODE, but now I am unable to use my iPod or iTunes. Anyone having this problem?

In my experience iTunes has never been stable in a Windows operating system. If it's not one thing it's another. Right now I'm having video play back issues with tv shows on iTunes, good thing I have the iPhone now so I can watch them on there.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue? '

every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue?

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

ITunes 10.5 beta for windows not available

I have just registered as a developer. I cannot see iTunes 10.5 beta for windows in my list of available downloads. I only have "10.5 beta (Mac)"

I think you meant iCloud Beta , but the link isn't working for iTunes 10.5. Hopefully, they're fixing iTunes 10.5 for Windows, because it wasn't working. You may have come up with a new idea that Apple can exploit, though - iCould.
