HELP Can't install itunes 9 on Windows 7  64-Bit

I've just bought an iPod Touch and can't install itunes on my notebook. (Which means I can't use my iPod)
I've downloaded itunes for 64bit, but each time I double-click it, a window opens and say "The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
and it says the itunes installer encountered an error before itunes completely installed.
I went to Asus service center, but they said that itunes is not compatible with the new Windows 7 and I should bring it to Apple iBox instead.
I've gone to 2 iBox and they don't understand the problem at all, and they didn't find any way to help me.
This is so disappointing. I can't even find an email address to contact Apple directly.
Help is so much appreciated. Thanks..

iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
Good luck, hope this helps.

  • Can not install itunes on window 7 64 bit

    When ever I try to install itunes 10.6.3, I receive a message "the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured....errors occured during installation".  I have attempted to install itunes using the "download only" method.  I have also uninstalled all previous versions of the software but nothing works. Help!!!!

    An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.Safari.client.resources\pt.lproj
    So after I have to hit cancel I get another message saying basically error code 2330.
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • TS1829 Can't install iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit system

    I get this message: "errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured" while trying to install iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit. Tried turning windows Defender and running it but same result. Itunes worked fine on Vista, but since going to Win 7, no luck. Can't update iPhone or anything :-(

    Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

  • I can't install itunes to windows 7 64 bit because of computing space requirements

    I tried to install iTunes 10.7 on my computer but it stops when the installation says :computing space requirements. Then it just says "rolling back action", "the installation was unsuccessful". I don't know what's going on because I have more than 40 GB of free space on my hard disk drive. I also tried with an older version of iTunes but it keeps doing the same thing.

    Having the installer quit at that particular moment is consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.

  • Please help: Can't download itunes with windows 7 (64 bit).  Keeps freezing at 99%

    I have tried deleting and re-installing itunes and quicktime but it still won't work.  Please help.

    Can someone please respond to my request for support?  I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783  but it did not work. 
    I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • Can't installed itunes for window 7 32-bit

    i cant installed iTunes 10.5.2 for window 7 (32-bit)...i already use any browser but still cannot install.

    All I can say is make sure you are the administrator and if not right-click on the installation program and click "Run as Administrator", and delete all traces of iTunes off the computer, i.e. delete the folder C:\Program Files\ipod as you say. Make sure it is the latest version of iTunes and is for Windows Vista (not XP). Another thing to point out is to make sure your Computer is compatible with iTunes 8.2 (perhaps try installing iTunes 8.0/8.1 by searching for the link in Google).
    If you have done all of that and it still does not install then I do not know what is wrong. As iTunes is one of the many applications i use 24/7 (pretty much) and I use it all the time, I would try installing it on a similar Windows Machine with a similar configuration and it works, I would reinstall Windows on your personal computer. If not, take the case further as I cannot think of anything else that could be wrong, so long as you have not edited the installation program or anything Good luck.

  • Can't Install Itunes on Windows 7 64-bit due to unwanted updater

    OK, so I've known for years that Apple puts a WHOLE lot of crap on your computer when you install Itunes.  It asks you specifically if you want to automatically update Apple software, and no matter how hard you click the NO box, it puts the apple updater there anyway.
    I just purchased my first piece of Apple hardware, namely an iPod touch, and due to this failure of Apple to respect my software wishes, it turns out I've wasted my money because the Apple Software Updater fails to install due to security restrictions.
    I run the Itunes installer as administrator.  I have given full rights to my logged in Windows user to every folder related to Apple in the Program Data folder.  I have spent a couple of hours trying every fix that is availalble in the Apple forums and the Microsoft forums, to no avail.
    Seems to me the BEST fix is for Apple to drop the arrogance of forcing me to install the Apple updater in the first place, and trust me to know when I want to download a newer version of Itunes.
    This is not the first time I've seen this happen with 64-bit versions of Windows.   My guess is that I'll have to extract the Itunes app from the itunes.exe installer, and hopefully be able to install only the software I want.  But at the moment I'm kind of peeved that I have to jump through those hoops, and of course, it's entirely possible that won't work at all either.  And of course, without iTunes, the iPod touch is completely useless.

  • Can't install itunes on windows vista 64 bit

    I'm trying to install itunes on a windows vista 64 bit machine but keep getting the error message "could not access network location %appdata%\." Does anybody know what is the matter?

    could not access network location %appdata%\
    It looks like it's having trouble getting one of the iTunes preference files in. There's a couple in each user account (usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes).
    Has a version of iTunes previously been successfully installed on that PC? If so, was it working properly prior to your doing the current installs?
    What hard drive is your "Users" folder on? Is it the C drive or somewhere else?
    If it's somewhere else, are your Program files also on that other drive or are they on the C drive?

  • I can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

    i can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

    I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
    BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop).

  • Why can't I install Itunes on windows vista 64 bit?

    Why can't I install Itunes on windows vista 64 bit? I have removed all apple software and repeated the reinstall many times but it fails.  I get this complicated error mesage and then the installer rolls back and fails.

    I get this complicated error mesage and then the installer rolls back and fails.
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

  • Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
    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 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 third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How to install itune under Windows XP 64-bit professional with SP2?

    I have iPhone 3GS for over a year and I have set it up at my work computer (Windows XP professional) with latest iTune and it work great. Recently our IT has upgraded our system and all of our new machines has Windows XP 64-bit OS.
    I can't figure out how to install iTune under Windows XP 64-bit, to synch with my e-mail, contact and calendars any more?
    Can any one help?

    New machines? With XP 64-bit? Your IT department is being rather foolish, in my opinion, deploying new installations of XP 64 since Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for it (more than two years ago) and it's never really been satisfactory.
    Anyway, there is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and almost certainly never will be. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete. Connecting to iPhones is one of the most problematic issues.
    Regards.
