Checked for updates and tried to download latest version of itunes but it will not install

Please help !!!
I have had itunes installed for years but allof a sudden, when I try to complete an action (create a playlist for example) I get an error message
"Itunes has stopped working and must close"
I searched for updates and tried to install the latest vesion of itunes but it will not install - error message just says " failed to install correctly, try reinstalling"
What has gone wrong and what do I need to do ???
Fingers crossed

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

  • Tried to download latest version of iTunes but...

    Thought I was updating my 8.something but I now have 9.02 0n my desktop and still have 8.something as operating itunes. It downloaded to an icon on my desktop. I tried to install from there but still have 8.something in there. Restarted countless times. No change. Help? Thanks in advance

    Does the icon of what you are seeing on your desktop look rather like a hard drive? If so, that's a disk image and contains the installer for iTunes 9. Double-click on that icon and when the window opens up you should see a couple of files including one that says "iTunes.mpkg". Double-click on that one and follow the instructions. Or you can just use Software Update and if there's an iTunes update it should show it and offer to install.
    If you've run that and you're still seeing iTunes 8, you may have duplicate copies. This is particularly possible if you moved iTunes from the Applications folder or changed it's name. Look in Applications and see if you find a copy of iTunes. Get Info on it and see what version is shows. If that's iTunes 9, then it would seem you have another copy of iTunes somewhere. Do a Spotlight search for iTunes and see what turns up.
    Hope this helps.

    i was trying to download latest version of itunes and my computer is saying software requires mac os x 10.6.8 or later. how do i fix this?

    The latest iTunes which is 10.7 does indeed require Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. What version of Mac OS X are you running and on what model Mac?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I installed the lastest version of iTunes and when I went to manually sync my iPod I got a message saying error -50.  I tried re-installing the latest version of iTunes but that did not work.  I then tried re-installing an earlier version of iTunes

    I installed the latest version of iTunes but when I went to sync my iPod I got error message -50 and my iPod would not sync.  I tried re-installing the most recent version of iTunes but this made no difference.  I then tried installing an old version of iTunes but it would not install.  I am furious because I bought music via iTunes store and I cannot get it to load onto my iPod.  Can anyone help?  Or can anyone give me a direct email address for iTunes support?  I have been going round and round on Apple's stupid website and cannot find any help or an email address.

    Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
    Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • TS3297 After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    I have the same problem and have been fighting with it for several days. I think the last thing that I did before this happened was to let Quicktime update itself. When I open itunes and click on store, the connecting bar gets halfway and then stops. That leaves me with the white store page, if I leave it alone for a bit, I see words as in names of singers and but no pictures.
    I have ran the diagnostics and see no problems at all, no event logs in windows, no errors at all. I've un-installed itunes and re-installed but no change. I'm using Norton 360 from comcast. I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Also, the help in itunes doesn't display.
    I put in a ticket with apple and the response I got back basically told me to do what I've already done. I created a new user and have the same issue.
    Any help at all will be very much appreciated. I think this started August. 8, 2011.
    thanks so much for reading

  • TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library.  Also, I can't add new files.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes.  It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them.  Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library.  It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine.  I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing.  Hope someone can help me. Thanks

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT1222 Tried to download latest version of itunes. came up with error MSVCR80.dll missing. Tried uninstall and re install. won't work

    Tried to download latest i tunes version. After install, I can't bring the program up. Keeps telling me MSVCR80.dll missing. Un installed and then re installed but same message.
       Got it done.  Uninstalled all apple programs. Did a complete defrag. Downloaded itunes and went to completion.
    Go to HTTP://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for procedure

    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.
